GROUP TO PRESS
FOR NEW BRIDGE
Southeas. Group Plans Sem
ate Plea for Pennsylvania
Avenue Span.

Undaunted by the action OF the
House Appropriations Committee IN
eliminating an item in the 1888 budget
for beginning of construction OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue Bridge, the
Southeast Citizens Association adopted
a motion at its meeting last night re-
ouesting a hearing before Senator
Thomas, chairman Of the Senate Sub
committee on Appropriations, in an
effort to have the item restored.
Louis F. Frick, who submitted the
motion, criticized the report relative
to the eliminating of the bridge item.
THE 1897 appropriation bill carried
an item of $25,00O for study of plans
for the construction Of the bridge"
he said. Now the Collins committee
proposes instead of the amount asked
for to begin construction an item OF
$4,000, which it contends will repair
the bridge to the extent that 1t will
meet all requirements for several
years.
S65,O0O "Thrown Away"
I'm other words, total of $685. 900
Is literally being thrown away while
q deserving community must use an
antiquated and inadequate bridge for
at least two or three more years"
Copies of the motion are to be sent
to Chairman Thomas and to Mrs.
Mary T. Norton, chairman OF the
House District Committee.
The association Endorsed motion
passed several months ago by the
Southeast Business Mems Association
asking a congressional investigation
of the Public Utilities Commission.
At the time the motion was passed by
the business men criticism was directed
to the commission in allowing the
Capital Transit Co. to borrow money
with which to buy more one-man
street cars and the abolition Of the
81 pass. The motion stated further
that If the committee as a result OF
its investigation found the Public
Utilities Commission was not acting
In the best interests of the public
that they be removed from Office. The
Commissioners and the chairman OF
the House and the Senate District
Committees were to be informed OF
the action taken last night.
Barber Shop Bill Asked.
A resolution submitted by Joseph
Constantine asking adoption of bill
now in both Houses OF Congress that
would regulate barber shops was
passed.
A motion was passed requesting the
traffic director to eliminate the park
ing Of commercial trucks on streets in
the Southeast section that bordered
the parks. The motion stated that it
was an "eyesore" and In great many
cases the owners lived considerable
distance from the place where their
trucks were parked.

EXPERTS BACK
SIT STRIKES

Championing the sit-down strike,
the Rev. j. w. r. Mcguire, promi-
nent as a mediator in MidweStern
labor disputes, and Miss Elizabeth
Christman, secretary Of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union
League of America, yesterday ad-
dressed the National Catholic
School of Social Service.
Father Mcguire, in juStifying
the modern style of strike, pointed
out that before the industrial
revolution, manufacturing was
done in the home entirely. Fac
tories, he declared, were eStab-
liShed merely as a convenience and
for economic reasons, effecting
no basic change in the relationship
of the worker to his work.
From this, Father Mcguire ar
gued, the factory stands in the
same light as an extension of a
mans home, which lis his castle"
He commended a worker has a prop
erty right in his job and would
be deprived of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" without
his job.
Miss Christman declared the sit
down strike is more convenient
for the worker than mass picket
ing tactics. She declared that
from the employers standpoint the
sit-down strike is less destructive
to his property.

PRES|DENT'SSON
SCOUTS SPLIT

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20 G.N.S0
Possibility of a split in the Demo-
cratic party on either sectional or
economic grounds was belittled
here today by James Roosevelt,
the Presidents son and secretary,
in an address that keynoted the
annual convention of the Young
Democratic Clubs.
Economic interdependence of
the farmer and the factory worker
alone will serve to keep the party
united, Roosevelt argued. The
Presidents son extolled the vir-
tues of the wage-hour measure and
crop control legislation sponsored
by the New Deal. He said their
enactment would mean that the
farmer and the worker would buy
more of each others products.
Young Roosevelt denied that the
wage-hour bill-which has been
shelved for this session of Con-
greSS-waS sectional anti-South-
ern legislation" and quoted newly
appointed Associate Justice Hugo
L. Black to prove actually it was
national legislation in the truest
sense"
Downfall of the Republican
party, young Roosevelt told the
convention, was due to its devo-
ton to a special interest-the Spe-
cial interest of the people at the
top"
He conceded that his fathers
administration had suffered from
isolated and individual cases of
mal.administration or laundering"
but added:
1--WE can as a party take pride
in the fact there have been no
favored cliques, no side doors, no
little green houses, no little black
bags and no Teapot DomeS."

Asked if WPA would consider

PAY-HOURS BILL
ACTION BLOCKED

G.NS). House Democrats were
split into warning factions today
as all hope of action on the wage
hours bill this session was smashed
by a Southern Democratic "boy-
colt" Of last nights party caucus.
Only 157 answered to their names.
Speaker Bankhead, Representa-
tive Rayburn of Texas, Democratic
leader, and Chairman O'Connor
CD, of New York, of the Rules
Committee, pledged action on the
Black onnery bill at special Ses-
sion, if called, or in the first six
weeks of the January session.
The first step toward action in
the next session will be taken to-
morrow when Representative Mary
T. Norton CD of New Jersey,
chairman of the Labor Committee,
will file petition to discharge the
Rules Committee. If 218 mem
bers sign, the bill will be called to
the House floor, but it would take
nearly a month to complete all
steps in the procedure.
Rayburn, angered by action of
Democrats in hiding in the cloak
room to break up the caucus, de-
clared that for the first time in
his life he would be the first to
sign a petition to discharge the
Rules Committee.
II am for this legislation" he
shouted. II want to know if the
Rules Committee can block the
will of the House."
Representative Maverick CD of
Texas declared that Democrats of
the House have broken a platform
pledge in blocking this legislation"
while Representative Phillips 3D.
of Connecticut demanded a finish

The bill would regulate sugar
production at home and in inSu-

and benefit payments to American
producers who accepted Federal
limitations on their production.
The funds will come from excise
taxes on sugar imports.

18TH CONGRESS-.
NEARING END OF
WEARY SESSION
Only Sugar.. Housing,
Budget Bills Remain
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
QN.S). The Seventy-fifth Con-
gress, elected with President
Roosevelt by the greatest party
landslide in history, neared the
end of it's first session today after
having launched the second New
Deal.
The weary, home-sick legislators
must approve conference reports
on the sugar sterilization bill and
the new low-coSt housing program,
and enact a third deficiency ap-
preparation bill before voting a
sine die adjournment. Aside from
these three measures, its program
will consist Of noncontroversial
measures.
A HISTORICAL SESSION
The Seventy-fifth's first session
probably will go down in history
for the Senate's rejection of Presi.
dent RooSevelt'S proposal to en-.
large the Supreme Court by add
ing up to six new justices. The
Senate battled over this issue for
six months before rejecting the
plan and approving a substitute
calling only for minor procedural
reforms in the lesser Federal judi
ciary.
Both House and Senate au.
thorized sweeping inquiries into
the subject of judicial reforms.
These inquiries, to be conducted
during the recess, may result in
submission of proposed constitu-
tional amendments dealing with
the issue of enlarging the powers
Of Congress and with the issue of
curbing the powers of the Supreme
Court.
FOUR BILLS IN ABEYANCE
The Seventy-fifth will go home
without final action on four major
measures, but with pledges to
take them up at its next session
in January. These bills are a
farm crop control act, asked by
the President; the House enacted
Government reorganization bill,
the House-enacted anti-lynching
bill and the Senate-enacted meas
ure giving the Federal Govern
mnt power to control wages and
hours in interstate industries.
It's record, despite the Senate
warfare over the Supreme Court,
was impressive.
Among other things the Sew
enty-fifth extended the life Of the
RFC and the dollar sterilization
program until June 80, 1889, and
the Presidents power to negotiate
reciprocal trading treaties until
June 80, 1870.
It enacted a new American neu-
trality act, and the Senate ratified
large number of treaties de-
signed to promote friendlier rela-
tionS with the rest of the world.
