certainty Fall session of Congress
to consider farm and wage hour legis-
lation.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he was con-
sidering the arguments for and against
a special session, but had not made
up his mind.
He conferred yesterday with SEN
ator Barkley of Kentucky and Repre-
sentative Rayburn, the Senate and
House majority leaders, on the ques-
ton.
Neither would comment afterward
on his probable decision. Barkley
said he did not wish to "impinge

Session Is Predicted.
Other administration leaders, how
ever. freely have predicted special
session, among them Speaker Bank
head and Senator Guffey, Democrat,
Of Pennsylvania.
A sizable group of Democrats, in
cluding many who welded power in
the last session, let it be known they
were fatty opposed to coming back
this year.
They explained they were particu-
larly eager to give the wave Of intra-
party dissension. which grew bitter in
debate on Supreme Court and wage
hour legislation, time to die down.
Some Prefer to Wait.
This group also took the stand that
none of the tracked legislation
was Of such pressing Importance it
could not wait until January.
Mr.. Roosevelt lodged yesterday at
. press conference a question as to
whether he will tour the country to
rally support for measures he wishes
Congress to enact.
He did say he will go to his home
at Hyde Park tomorrow night for the
week end, One administration leader
offered as probable guess that he
will decide before he returns whether
to call a special session.

diately all tangible personal pro-
perty and effects. He made $4,000

CIVIC LEADERS
BRAND ACTION
"|NDEFENSIBLE
Start Finish Fight
On PUG Order

An aroused Washington public
today voiced its emphatic disap-
proval Of the raise in price Of
street car tokens to 6 fir SO cents.
Spokesman for the organized
citizens associations branded the
raise as indefensible" and a "co-
losSal blnuder" as they planned
to bring the matter to head at
the Saturday nights meeting Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa'
ton.
FIGHT PLANNED
The bitter pill of paying an In
creased fare was vigorously at.
tackled but the fact that the Capt.
tai Transit Company refuses to
sell the tokens 3 for Is cents en-
ragged them even more. At least
a dozen officials of the asSocia-
tons charged tina the poor rider
would not be able to meet the de-
mand for so cents while he could
get the quarter when needed.
Street car conductors also admit
ted today that they had had num-
erous complaints over this angle
of the situation.
AS a result Of the bitterness
arising today it is expected that
the fight will be carried to Con-
gress when it meets November Is.
Riley e. Elgen. chairman Of the
Public Utilities Commission, which
promulgated the order permitting
the raise, denied today that it
would work hardship on the poor
man. He said it would hit only
the casual rider and that the con-
slant rider either would use the
SIPS pass or carry so cents every
other day to meet the cost.
DEFENDS ACTION
The reason the sale was put at
6 for so cents instead Of 8 for Is
cents, Mr.. Elgen said, was purely
financial, He said that according
to the expert testimony at the
hearings the sale of six would
bring a higher return to the COM
pany than the sale by threes.
Asked to explain this seemingly
strange statement he said:
II believe the argument was
used in the hearings that the
larger sale would decrease the
number Of transactions and,
therefore, speed up the traffic.
Also the token sale is between
the straight 10 cents fare for
one ride and the SIPS weekly
pass.
IF any Of the riders do not
buy the six tokens they pay 10

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov.

crash with its loss Of 10 lives to-
day was charged to the U. S. De
partment of Commerce.
w. D. Hammond, chairman OF
the Utah Aeronautics Commits
sion, created a sensation before
the Federal board Of inquiry
when he revealed that the Com
me1ce Department had failed to
act on safety recommendations
made by the State of Utah.
Aviation experts, testifying at
the hearing, have been nearly
unanimous in agreeing that two
causes were the chief factors in
the crash:
1. That the 10,OO0-foot alti-
tude Pilot E. D. Woodgerd main
tanned during the fatal flight
was not high enough to clear
obstacles when blown off the
course. The plane was some
20 miles off its course when it
crashed.
2. That the planes radio
equipment had been rendered
useless by the storm and the
pilot therefore was unable to
get ground assistance,

(I.N.S.) The American Fedora

the rebel CLIO exclusive organ

to achieve reunion.
George Harrison, chairman Of
the federation's peace committee,
80 indicated today, as negotiations
for reconciliation resumed after an
eight-day recess, with the factions
still at loggerheads.
PUBLIC WANTS PEACE
Harrison said:
1.-THE public wants this con-
flict resolved. There is no con-
flict between the nine C1O
unions, which we suspended and
ourselves. The quarrel is over
the new unions they have organ
lied, to compete with us / the
federation's own fields.
I'VE could give them our
rubber workers union and the
shell of the International sea-
mems Union for absorption in
their industrial organization.
Possibly we could also give them
our fur workers union.
MURRAY SILENT
an other competing fields,
the dispute could be settled by
individual conferences between
leaders of the rival unions. In
the transport industry, for ex-
ample, members Of the CLOS
transport workers union pos
sibly could be absorbed into the
Amalgamated Association OF
Street, Railway and Electrical
Employees, excepting for the
CLOS transport workers of New
York, which could remain au-
tonomous."
Phillip Murray, chairman Of the
CLIO negotiating committee, had
nothing to say" as the conference
resumed in a pessimistic at

BRUSSELS, Nov. 4 d.NS).
Abandoning hope of obtaining &C
tive japanese participation In its
deliberations, the nine-power
treaty conference this afternoon
launched q move for direct peace
negotiations between Japan and
China.
Norman H. Davis, American am
disadvantage and chief of the
United States delegation here,
urged that a second invitation to
participate be addressed to Japan
and the conference went so far as
to discuss appointment Of a spe-
cial subcommittee to sound out
the possibilities of Nipponese &C
ceptance.
SQUELCHED BY BRITAIN
But Great Britain squelched the
proposal on the grounds such
moves were utterly futile and
might engender new delays possibly
giving Japan the time and excuse
for an open declaration Of war
upon China.

ference.
