UNIFORM POLICY
.0N POWER limited
National Plan Is Seen in
Proposal for Operation
of Bonneville.
ny the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has taken initial
steps leading to a uniform national
power policy by asking Congress to
authorize the appointment of an ad-
ministrator to sell surplus power at
the Bonneville Dam near Portland,
Greg.
Public agencies and co-operatives
seeking to purchase Bonneville power
would be given preference over private
concerns. Purchase contracts would
contain clauses designed to assure
reasonable" rates to the ultimate con-
sumer.
Transmitting a report from his
Power Policy Committee, the Presi-
dent said yesterday the legislation
recommended should be provisional
In character pending the establishment
of permanent administration Of Bon
neville and other Federal projects in
the Columbia Basin, but should not
be inconsistent with national power
policies which may be hereafter
adopted"
He said a provisional bill should be
passed this session because Bonneville
is almost finished and power will be
ready for distribution late this year.
The Grand Coulee Dam in the State
of Washington will tie in with the
permanent program.
National Policy FOreseen.
Some officials saw in yesterdays
recommendations the nucleus OF the
national policy to come later.
The committee proposed that the
Secretary of the Interior be authorized
to appoint the administrator, who
would operate the Bonneville project
with the advice of board OF three
representing the War and Interior Dc
partmentS and the Federal Power
Commission.
The administrator would build trans
mission lines and sell power not needed
for operation of the dam and locks at
reasonable rates to be fixed by him
self. subject to approval of the Power
Commission.
The rate schedules" the report said,
SHOULD provide for uniform rates, Or
rates uniform throughout prescribed
transmission areas, with a view ot
distributing the benefits of an integral
ed transmission system and encourag-
Ing the equitable distribution OF the
electric energy development"
Rate Fixing Discussed.
Rates, the report added. should be
fixed with view to encouraging the
widest possible use of the power, hav-
ing regard to recovery of the cost OF
production and transmission and
amortization of the capital investment
over reasonable period.
The administrator would be author
lied TO contract for the sale of power
at wholesale, whether for resale or
direct consumption. Until January
!, 1899, at least so per cent of the
energy would be reserved for public
and cooperative agencies.
Contracts would not exceed 20
years. Rates would be readjusted at
least once every five years.
A contract with a private agency
which resold the bulk of the energy
purchased could be Cancelled on five
years notice, if any part of the power
were needed to satisfy requirements
OF public or cooperative agencies.
THE project" the report said,
SHOULD become self-supporting, but in
the meantime it will be necessary to
provide funds for initial construction
of transmission lines operation and
administration"

Federal stumbling blocks" pre-
vent labor and industry from
getting along together" said
Ernest T. Weir, chairman of the
National Steel Corporation. He
accused national and state admin
iStrationS Of bcclouding labor re-
lationS with passion and emo
ton"
The cost of strikes in the Uni
ted States, Weir said, rose from
$3.50. 100000 in 1896 to "Somc-
where near $5,00O,000,000 in
1887" while the first six months
Of this year was "the worst and
most costly period Of labor tur-
MOL in our history"
He proposed substitution Of
collective cooperation" for col
lcctivc bargaining.
The nations labor policy; ac-
cording to DR.. Leo Woman Of
Columbia University, is believed
BY many persons to be responsible
for the "prolifc source of strife
and conflict" rather than cOndi-
tons Of employment.
"Thc area of pickcting,' he
said. has spread so that it now
covers the persuasion or intimi-
dation not alone Of those who re-
main at work in struck plants, but
also of customers and advertisers.
To the simple strike has been add
ed the boycott, primary and sec
Ondary."
