U.S.RE0RGAN|z|NG
DELAYED IN HOUSE
Senate Action on Omnibus
Measure Is Awaited by
REPRESENTATIVES.

Senate action on the omnibus Gov
eminent reorganization bill is awaited
before the House takes up considera-
ton of its two remaining reorganlza-
ton bills, it was revealed today by
Speaker Bankhead, Majority Leader
Rsyburn and Chairman Cochran of
the committee handling the measures.
The House at the last session passed.
two of the four bills into which the
administration reorganization pro-
gram was divided.
Meanwhile legislative representa-
tives of l0l national and international
unions of the American Federation of
Labor, meeting here to consider pro-
posals now before Congress. went on
record favoring postponement of reor-
ganization legislation.
The group decided the reorganiza-
ton plan might better be taken up
at the regular session starting in JAM
uary rather than be forced into the
crowded docket Of the present brief
session.
House leaders said today they have
learned the Senate filibuster on the
anti-lynching bill will be concluded
within week and that the Presi-
dents reorganization legislation will
then be disposed of while the farm
relief bill /, awaited.
Chairman Byrnes of the Joint Re-
organization Committee expressed
confidence that the bill reported in
the Senate will be passed promptly.
While this is modification of the
recommendations of the Presidents Ad
visory Committee, he said he is con-
f1dent it will prove satisfactory to the
President. However Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, chairman of
the original REORGANIZATION Commit
tee, is opposed to some features Of
the omnibus bill, as are Minority
Leader McNary, Senator Burke, Dem
Democrats.
Of the two reorganization bills
passed by the House but not yet con-
sidered by the Senate. one authorizes
the President to appoint six addi-
tional administrative assistants and
the other gives him general powers
to regroup and consolidate Govern
ment agencies The two bills ready
for action in the House are one spon-
sored by Representative Vinson, DEM
ocrat, of Kentucky, to take the Gen.
eral Accounting Office from the con-
troll Of Congress as pre-audit agen-
cy and place it under the Executive,
and to give Congress instead a new
Office of auditor general, who would
have only poSt-audit authority. and
one sponsored by Representative Mead
Democrat. of New York to abolish the
Civil Service Commission and sup
plant it with a civil service admins
traitor and an advisory board.

1T is practically impossible to re-
check the weight of a chicken weigh
ed before it is dressed and drawn and
after it is dressed and drawn" he add
ed, pointing out that instances have
been reported wherein fowls were sold
on the basis of weight dressed, then
taken to the rear of the store and
"swapped" for another chicken dress
ed and drawn weighing considerably
less.
Baucom said consumers could be
certain of accurate weight by purchas-
ing chickens by weight already dress
ed and drawn, or by witnessing the
dressing and drawing process which
means the removal of the head, feet
and intestines.
The weights and measures division
head explained that the practice OF
swapping chickens often meant a diff
ference of several ounces, or an I'M
deserved profit of four or five cents
to the INSCRIPTIONS merchant.
Another case wherein the consumer
can protect himself is by demanding
or purchasing canned products by
weight or ounce content, Baucom said
adding that there is a wide differ
ence in the size of the various manu-
facturers number one and number
two cans.
There is no standard for num-
Der one or number two can and there
fore the net contents may vary mate
rally and still be termed a number

ing purposes" he said.

"The eviIS of the attendant social and eco

structure. Apart from poverty, or a less er-
IRENE impairment of the SaUings lUhich afford
the chief protection to the Uorking class
against old age and the hazards @. illness, a
matter of inestimable consequence to society
as a UhoIe, and apart from the loss of pur-

concluded that unemployment brings in its
lUake increase in Uagrancy and crimes against
property, reduction in the number of mar
riageS, deterioration Of family life, decline in
the birth rate, increase IN iIlegitimate births,
impairment of the health of the unemployed
and their families and malnutrition of their
children"
Emphasizing the fact that the continued
increase of unemployment among both agri-
cultural and industrial workers in Alabama
had required the expenditure of over Sat-
000,000 for emergency relief during 1893,
1884, and 1885, "of which $4,000 came from
state funds, $2,243, 900 from local sources and
the balance from relief funds of the Federal
Government Justice Stone said:
"TheSe figures bear eloquent 10itneSS to the
inability Of local agencies to cope aOith the
problem without state action and resort to
nelU taxing legislation. Expenditure Of pub
lie funds under the present statute, for relief
of unemployment, 1UiII afford some protection
to a substantial group Of employees, and lUe
cannot sag that it is not for a public purpose.
"The end being legitimate, the means is for
the legislature to choose. When public coils
enSue from individual miSfortuneS or needs,
the legislature mag strike at the eUil at its
source. If the purpose is legitimate because
public, it WiL not be defeated because the
execution Of it i%nUolves payments to indi0id-
uaIS."
It is the opinion of observers that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court affirming the
validity of the Alabama Unemployment Com
~pensation Law means that the unemploy-
ment compensation laws of other states, now
numbering forty-four, the District of Column
bia an. the Territory of Alaska, will likewise
receive the Courts approval if r%eactionary
employers should be rash enough to fight
them in the courts.
