When the national labor relations
act passed the Senate, Connery with
drew his companion bill to that OF

substituted Wagner's measure to OBJ
tain passage in the closing days of
the 1885 session.
During his study of a redraft Of
the bill Connery discovered an over
looked clause in the measure which
would have banned strikes.
Beside his routine congressional ac-
tivities, Connery who once was de-
scribed by his secretary as "jack- in
the-box," because of his energetic
manner, was constantly requested to
make speeches throughout the East.
He was considered the best raconteur
in Congress.
The Labor Committee chairman be-

while with one OF George M. Cohan's
Summer shows, that he met his wife

stage performances. Connery carried

as partner until the World War.
Then he joined the 26th (Yankee)
Division and served overseas for 10
months. During his service he was
promoted from private to color SER
geant for 'meritorious service"

ROOSEVELT SEEKS
LOW INCOME AID
Economists at Work on
Methods to Increase
Buying Power.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration economists, spurred
by President Roosevelt's re-statement
OF economic policy sought methods
today for generating greater purchas-
ing power among low income groups.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press confer
ence late yesterday that if the one
third OF the population in the lowest
income class could increase its buying
power, it would accelerate the business
machine generally.
This, he said, would boost the ma
tional income, speed the flow of tax
revenue into the Treasury, and bring
the budget into balance
AS an example, the President said
that if taxpayers paid the Government
s6,000,000,000 when the national in.
come was $4,000 ,00O, 900. revenue
might be expected to total 50 900 .OOO.-
900 if the national income reached
100000 100000.
Reducing Relief Load.
Besides meeting revenue needs. he
said, such development would
whittle expenditures by reducing the
relief load. 1t then would be possible
to pare the public debt, he added.
Mr.. Roosevelt advanced no specific
proposals for increasing purchasing
power among low income groups, but
said something might be accomplished
by such steps as increasing the $40
monthly allowance for dependent chill
dren under the social security act and
by fixing wage and hour standards.
He promised further details in
nreslde chat" this Summer or at an
other press conference.
The President said various admins.
tration officials are studying method,
OF reaching his broad economic oh.
lectlves. He talked With some prior to
MS press conference, he explained.
His callers yesterday included Secr.-
tarles Moreenthau. Wallace and Per.
kIns Harry Hopkins, works progress
administrator; Chairman Mariner S.
Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board
and Acting Budget Director Daniel w.
Bell.
Studies already made. Mr.. Roosevelt
said, have substantiated his statements
that one-third of the population is Ill
fed, lll-housed and ill-clothed He
suggested that business itself should
seek methods of increasing purchasing
power among those persons.

vrulence OF his infection, Coroner A.
Magruder Macdonald performed an
autopsy. Death, DR.. Macdonald said,

The infection could have been
caused by food poisoning, but we will
not know the exact type of the poison
ing for some time-perhaps "a hours
or maybe as long as two weeks" DR..
Macdonald said The type of food
which caused the infection cannot be
established. the coroner added
Representative Connery never par
took Of food at the various banquets
he attended and was unusually care
full OF his diet. He attended a dinner
at c, C. c. camp at Chicopee Falls,
