M'CARL EXPECTED
TO REJECT PLAN
Hopkins Has Asked Ruling on
Proposed 5-Day Week
for Workers.

While Controller General McCarl
has not yet passed on the proposed
flve-day week for the 1900 w. p. A.
employees in Washington, w. p. A.
oficials said today they expected he
would turn 1t down.
Administrator Hopkins had sub
mitted the question for ruling in
the hope that the w. p. A, an
emergency agency, might be en-
powered to introduce q five-day week
this Summer under q schedule that
provides exactly the same number
of working hours under the present
flve and a half days Of work.
Workers Favor Change.
An overwhelming majority Of w.
P. A. employees are in favor Of the
change, it was indicated, an informal
poll having been taken by Ross Cald-
well, administrative assistant in
charge Of personnel.
The legal obstacle which officials
said undoubtedly would result in an
unfavorable decision by McCarl Is Q
law enacted March 3. 1881. under the
Hoover administration which provides
that four hours work. exclusive Of
time for luncheon, shall constitute a
days work on Saturdays throughout
the year In the Government service.
The act. which established the five-
and-a-half day week, provides for the
same pay for a Saturday half day as
on other days when full time Is
worked.
All Workers Affected.
The only exemption allowed under
the law, it was said. is the discre-
tionary power given department heads
or the heads Of independent establish
ments to excuse workers whose ser
vices can be spared. This Is done
only a few days during the course Of
a year, usually during the Summer in
excessively warm periods.
AL classes Of Government employees
are affected by the act of 1891,
whether on per diem basis or not.
Since the law declares four hours
Of work on Saturdays mandatory.
officials said they did not believe
Hopkins has sufficient emergency
powers to undo it for the benefit of
his own personnel.
Controller McCarl has never before
been asked to rule on the question
When the Saturday half-holiday law
was enacted, an examination Of the
District Code revealed that for many
years q Saturday half-holiday was an
established law in the District.

speech at Worcester. Efforts now are
being made to bring Senator David
I. Walsh into the campaign and he
probably will join with the President
when he comes here.
As for Gov. Curley's campaign for
election to the United States Senate
against Representative Henry Cabot
Lodge, jr., Republican, much ap-
parently depends on what Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin and his Union
party candidate-Thomas C. O'Brien
accomplish from now on.
1t is rather generally agreed that
not even a substantial victory for
President Roosevelt here can carry
the Governor through if Father
Coughlin and O'Brien undertake to
wage q vigorous campaign against
him. The Governor rejected Father
Coughlin's proposal that he abandon
President Roosevelts cause in ex-
change for a promise of Union party
support.
The Governor, sensing the rising
tide in the Presidents fortunes here,
decided to cast his lot with the New
Deal rather than with the National
Union for Social Justice. Gov. Lam
don has abandoned his plans to speak
in Boston, but Alfred z. Smith will
speak here late this month.

RY H. c. GARRISON,

DETROIT, Mich, october i0.-The
outstanding feature Of the Michigan
primary election was the wide drift
OF the Negro vote away from its ira
ditional Republican moorings.
From the evidence at hand, this
shift amounted to about so per cent.
There is large Negro vote In Detroit
and Wayne County. In other portions
of the State it Is negligible. The
Detroit Negro vote, which was 80 per
cent Republican in the 1882 primary,
this year turned out to be only 40 per
cent Republican. Amazing turnovers
were registered in some Of the big
Negro precincts in Detroit. A district
that went 73 per cent Republican in
1892 this year was only 81 per cent
Republican. An SO per cent precinct
In 1882 became 81 per cent precinct
this year. Another precinct showed
a 90 per cent Republican vote in 1882
cut to 46 per centsin 1886.
Political dopesters are inclined to
give Frank Murphy. high commits
sioner to the Philippine Islands on
leave and Democratic nominee for
Governor, credit for turning over the
Negro vote. When he was mayor OF
Detroit, running in the i1on-partisan
city elections, Murphy always won
huge majorities In the Negro districts.
He apparently was able to carry much

publican nominee for Congress, is

ment claimed by Roy Harrop, who

to eliminate all reference to Dem

Two weeks ago young Roosevelt

but Two Lack Presiden.
tiaI Candidates..
BY JAMES DeK. BROWN,


SEATTLE, October 10.-When the
time for filing of minority party nom
nations for presidential and State Of
fees closed last Saturday 1t found
nine small organizations with nine
tickets ready for the ballot next No
vember.
This means there will be II parties
represented on the Washington State
ballot. These include Democrats. Re-
publicans, Christian party or Silver
Shirts, Farmer.Labor- Commonwealth,
Communist, Liberal Coalition Union,
Socialist-Labor, Socialist, Prohibition
and Conservation.
The Farmer-Labor- Commonwealth
party has no presidential candidate.
Neither has the Conservation party.
The Prohibition party filed only presi-
dental candidates.
Democrat Vote 10 Suffer.
The filing Of this large group OF
prospective parties means that virtu-
ally all votes received by them will
come from the Democratic vote as bal
loted at the last two general elections.
The Socialist party and the Union
party will without doubt poll Q much
heavier vote this year than the Lib
erty party did four years ago. At
that time the Liberty party was the
banner under which the vast ma
jority of the dissatisfied element
voted. This year, the Union party
will get this vote.
The Christian party has filed .
complete congressional ticket. This
gives three complete tickets on the
ballot, Democratic, Republican and
Silver Shirt.
At a recent meeting Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee eight
presidential electors were named. For
q while it appeared as if the Demo-
Gratis were going to enter the presi-
dental election without electors.
Upon advice Of attorneys. the party
rushed into the picture and decided
to have electors available If needed.
No one knows as yet just what the
final action will be, owing to the con-
f1ict between national and State laws
on elections and electors.
Agrarian Vote Goes G.. O. p.
The labor disturbances in the Pu-
get Sound Basin, where the radicals
control, are having the effect of driv-
ing the agrarian vote into the Repub-
lican party. from which it drifted
four years ago. The Seattle labor
faction has announced its support of
the present Roosevelt Administration.
Gov. Clarence D. Martin, Demo-
cratic incumbent. is more popular TO-.
day than Roosevelt. However, for
mer Gov. Roland H. Hartley. Repub-
lican nominee, is swinging to his
support the more conservative labor
people and business and industry gen.
orally. due to his positive stand on
the labor situation.

|NOREGON FADING
Chief County Reveals Only
1904 Margin for G. 0. P.
in Registrations.
BY RALPH L. WATSON,
s~..;.I r~orrs.nondant NJ The Sta

PORTLAND. Greg, october 10
Multnomah County's registered Re-
publican majority all but vanished
October 8 when the books were closed
preliminary to the November election
and the totals disclosed only 1,204 Re.
publicans more than Democratic vot-
ers. The Republican registration Is
the lowest in 10 years. while the DEM
ocratic total is the highest in the his
tory of the State. In November, 1882,
the registered Republicans outnum-
bered the Democrats by 56.660 in the
county; in November, 1894, the Re-
publicans were 33,7l0 in the lead.
This unprecedented shift Is signifi-
cant for the reason that Multnomah
County casts approximately one-third
of the vote of the entire State. 1t also
Is significant that unof1cial returns
from the remaining IS counties OF the
State show the same proportionate up
swing of Democratic registration.
What this may mean on November
3 is a moot point. The Republican
managers contend the Democratic
gains are due to concerted "coercive"
drive by the Democratic organization,
which forced registered Republicans
to change their status to secure w. p.
A. employment on the various projects
under way in the State. Democrats
deny this. admitting that they have
been conducting . registration CAM
paign, but insisting that public en-
ployment has had nothing to do with
it. Independent observers view it as
the result of a pro-Roosevelt drift in
the State; reflection of predominant
Democratic sentiment on the part Of
young voters registering for the first
time. plus the effect Of the determined
registration campaign Of the Young
Democratic League, which is widely
organized and persistently active
throughout the State.
Republican headquarters head men
are pickering among themselves on
the one hand, while the Democratic
leaders have buried their factional
differences until after the November
election.

constn Democrats and Progressives,
bitter enemies in the campaign for
State officers, the Legislature and

OF re-electing the Democratic presi.

An unexpected development was the
withdrawal Of John w. Burris. jr.,
Democratic candidate for State Sena.
tor in the sixteenth district, in favor
of Senator William D. Carroll, de.
feated aspirant for the Democratic
nomination for the governorship.
Senator Carroll for two terms has led

Advocates of new national party
in 1910 saw significance in the de-
cision of Senator La Toilette and Gov.
La Toilette to go into Minnesota and
speak for the Farmer-Labor party
ticket there and into Nebraska to
aid the campaign Of Senator George
w. Norris. Senator Henrik Ship
stead of Minnesota is also scheduled
to come to Wisconsin to assist the
Progressives.
New party advocates saw in these
interchanges move to solidify and
unite third party movement in the
Midwest and hailed the announcement
as development of the recent con-
ferences of left-wing leaders in
Chicago.
Republicans Expand Activity.
Republicans further enlarged their
activities in the State this week with
the setting up of headquarters in
Milwaukee of a Landon-Knox Club.
A factor of doubtful importance in
the State campaign was the filing at
the last minute of nomination papers
for Joseph F. Walsh of Potosi for
Governor on the Union party ticket.
Walsh said his decision to run re-
suited from Gov La Follettes indorse.

spokesmen claimed the Walsh candi-
dacy would draw votes from the
Progressive column. Progressives
generally dismissed the matter as Of
little consequences. Walsh is known
