SPURN CIO TERMS
Harrison made this terse an
nouncement as he explained that
the AFL has rejected a CIO prU-
posal, that the Federation "spot"
the industries which it would per-
NIT to remain organized on an
industrial or vertical system. The
CIO wanted the Federation peace
committee to put these unions in
writing, as a preliminary to fur
ther progress. Harrison, as he en-
tered the conference room, ex-
planned:
1T is like two men bargaining.
When one says if you do this
I will do that. Progress is made.
But they (CIO) simply say do
something and do not offer any.
thing. AS we have said in the
past, we now say again-No."
SAME OLD ISSUE
Harrison's announcement threw
the conference right back in the
position where it started more
than five weeks ago. He would
not speculate on the probable
length of the current negotiations
or their outcome.
He stood on the federation's
sweeping demand that the CIO
dissolve itself as a single organi.
zation, made up of individual
unions, before it can reenter the
AFL.

SLASH IN u. 5.
ROAD AID ASKED
BY ROOSEVELT
Must tCutSpending,
Congress Told

Q.N.S0 President Roosevelt to-
day called for a cut in congress
sional spending on public roads.
In a special message to Congress,
he said a curtailment Of Federal
spending is necessary if the
budget is to be balanced. In view
Of the large sums that have been
expended on roads in the last five
yeaTs-nearly a billion and half
dollars-he thought the road pro-
gram to be a good place to cut
down..
To that end, the President pro
posed that Congress cancel its
policy Of spending $216,50O,OOO on
roads during the fiscal year Of
1889, which was approved last
year.
PLANS FOR 19S9-4O
If that is done, he said, he
would provide in the budget for
approximately $100.000,000 for
road construction in 1899, and to
limit to $126, 100000 the expendi.
tures for tg40, and for the next
few succeeding years.
Congress must act before the
first Of the year, he pointed out,
as on January / the Secretary Of
Agriculture is required by the
existing law to apportion to the
various States some $214,000, 900.
Since the first Federal aid.high-
way act was enacted in 1916, the
President said. there has been
spent on public highways more
than So, 100, 900, 900, of which al.
most half has been spent under
his administration.
INCREASE CITED
"This annual average" his
message stated, "for the past
five years of $29S,OO0,OOo con-
trasts with the annual average
of less than 100000, 900 for the
five-year period preceding the
depression"
In this connection, the Presi-
dent recommended also that Con-
gress consider" the mandatory
provision of the present law which
requires the Secretary of Agricul-
ture % apportion to the States all
the amounts authorized for ex-
penditure.
"This mandatory provision"
he stated, completely ties the
hands of the executive as to the
amount or road funds to be in
cluded in the budget for any
fiscal year."

NEW YORK, March II. (UP)
War and initiation buying yester-
day carried the stock market to
the highest average level since
1890 and brought commodity
gains which carried some prices
to the highest point in a decade.
Trading was fairly heavy in all
divisions. 49,.
Among major commodities there
were such changes as:
Tin, sold at &C Ia cents a
pound, new high since 1927.
Export copper, quoted at

Signal for the commodity
strength came from Lon d o n

was reflected here in buying of

advanced sharply. Gains in the
metal division ranged to more

issues went to new highs. rubber
issues gained up to more than
three points and rail gains extend
ed to more than two points.

Cummings repeated the point

if present justices prefer not to

that the act, if passed. would not

justice who retired in the interim
would not be affected by its pro-

The hearing was held in the

that if the bill were not specific
enough, he would not object to
necessary changes.
Borah's point was that the law
at present says specificall" that
the supreme court shall consist of
a chief Justice and eight associ-
ate justices The bill, he argued,
must contain similar provision
adapted to the projected increase.
Two changes were proposed IN
the court set-up.

New, said near the close of the
hearing that he would seek to
Change the bill so that the new
court will contain at least IL or
even Is justices. Under the pres
idcnt's bill, if six justices over
20 were to resign, the member
ship would remain at nine. Pitt
man also said he would specify
that groups within the court might
divide the courts work, but that
all members might insist on par
ticipating in anv case.

cy, D.. Wyo., also judiciary
committeeman, announced after
the hearing he would introduce a
constitutional amendment requir-
ing that at least two-thirds Of the
supreme court must agree before
