KIN C BELIEVES
WAR MEASURE.
DOOM CERTAIN
Referendum Is Held
Too Dangerous"
By ARTHUR HACHTEN

U.N.SO. Defeat for the Ludlow
resolution, which would require a
vote by the people before this
country could declare war, was
forecast by congressional leaders
today as Administration and Re
publican leaders hammered the
proposal.
If the House adopts the resolu-
ton to submit a constitutional
amendment to the States, it will
be killed in the Senate. Chairman
Key Pittman CD Of Nevada. of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, predicted.
HELD DANGEROUS
Opposition to the resolution
having been voiced by President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Hull, Administration Senators and
Representatives we're sharpening
their knives for the measure.
Forces led by Representative
Louis Ludlow CD of Indiana,
father Of the resolution, apparently
caught Administration chieftains
off guard In obtaining the neces-
sary 218 signatures to force House
action.
With signing Of the committee
discharge petition, a broadside of
opposition was discharged by Re
publican as we'll as Democratic
leaders. Defeat for the resolution
will have a good psychological ef-
feet, Senator Pittman told Inter-
national News Service.
PROPOSAL DANGEROUS
He considers the proposal dan
gerous" in its effect upon repre-
sentative Government. He agreed
with Senator Vandenberg (R0 of
Michigan, that to require a ma
tional referendum on war in the
midst of difficulties with a foreign
power would handicap the United
States and possibly permit inva-
sion before the people could pass
upon the issue.

.e climb.
The nations legislators re-
turned to their constituents at the
conclusion of the special session
to find the relief situation crit
ical, immediate prospects none
too-bright, and demands for addi-
tional Federal funds, on the
ground that local governments
could not stand an increased bur
den. At the same time, they car
ried with them a blunt warning
from President Roosevelt, that re-
sponsibility for hindering the Ad-
ministration's drive for a bal
anced budget rested Squarely on
their shoulders.
IDLENESS ON MARCH
The Labor Department yester-
day reported that unemployment
increased by $4,000 during Octo-
Der. The jobless insurance pro-
gram, which goes into effect in
81 States January l, was not ex-
pected to cushion the relief prob
lem materially.
The croSs-current demands Of
President Roosevelt for a bal.
anced budget and of local constit
uents for increased expenditures,
left even the so-called economy
blocs a little confused.
Unless business conditions make
a decided about-face within the
next few months-and the Admin
istration is bending efforts to &C.
compliSh this-informed sources
predict additional relief appropria-
tions will be inevitable. This, espe-
cially since Mr.. Roosevelt is not
expected to abandon his long
standing credo of mo one shall
starve."
WPA ROLLS RISE
WPA rolls already are straining
at their leashes and are expected
to approach the two-miuion mark
by midwinter. This must be &C.
companied by a sharp decrease
during the spring, according to
Administrator Hopkins, if the
1,500-million-dollar relief appro-
priation is to be adequate.
Moreover, if relief expenditures
are to continue at the present rate,
or be increased, hopes for a bal
anced budget not only will grow
DINNER but, observers hold, the
Administration may be forced to
combat additional inflationary
trends.
Contrariwise, President Roose-
velt'S letter to Chairman Cart
wright, of the House Roads Com
mittee, emphasized the Admins
tration's determination to slash
Federal expenditures, which, 1t
was pointed out, would alleviate
the strain on the budget were more
relief funds found necessary.
STORMY DAYS AHEAD
In view of the independence dis
played by Congress, in refusing
to accede to the Administrators
demands for prompt enactment
of emergency" legislation, in
formed sources hold that stormy
days were ahead for Congress
when the subject of relief is taken
up. There has been some talk
from economy blocs in favor of
revising the entire work-relief
setup to reduce expenses, even to
the extent Of abandoning WPA in
favor of direct relief grants.

GROUPS DRIVE
FOR SAME COAL
Unions Center Fire
on 5 "Hot Spots"
By EDWARD b. LOCKETT

~ AD w AAA@~ ~ 49,
U.N.s0. Renewed warfare be-
tween the American Federation of
Labor and the CIO will center,
for the time being, in five "hot
spots" Of industry.
The bitter West Coast battle
over lumber workers focused the
fighting with its far flung tie-up
Of lumber mills and loss Of work
hours for employees. In addition,
hot rivalry involved electrical
workers, shipyard workers, office
and professional employees, and a
new battle for union leadership
among glass workers.
CLIO ECONOMIES
Organizers for the CIO have
lust initiated new drives in the
glass industry and woodworking
where its forces vie with the close
ly knit AFL carpenters union.
There will be skirmishes, and So
called raids" by both sides in
other groups Of workers., but
neither the AFL nor the C1O is
desirous of spreading its fire too
thinly, and so will drive to in
tensify its work and entrench its
forces in specific groups Of workers.
The CIo recently dropped more
than 100 of its organizers for
economy reasons, and now prob
ably will pull out Of less active
sectors other organizers who will
be transferred to the new firing
lines.
GET MORE MONEY
Meanwhile, the AFL was not
idle. Armed with special assess
ment power voted a; the recent
AFL convention in Denver. its
forces will be increased, new Of
fices set up, and new money
poured into federation war chests.
Actual formation Of the AFL
war plans awaits meeting of the
executive council in Miami next
month. There, the question of
formally expelling 10 now sus-
pended CIO unions will be taken

quired to join a company union
or to resign from or refrain from

Q.-What happens in case of

A.-Most States disqualify a

there is a labor dispute in his

STRIKE BENEFITS
Q.-COuld he draw benefits
while on strike, or II he were

Ale may draw benefits in

pones benefits for three weeks

Q.-Where do benefits come
from?
A.-From the State unemploy.

This fund is made up Of contri.
buttons from employers, required
to pay a certain percentage Of
their pay roll. Some States re-
quire a certain percentage from
