STRIKE CALLED
BY WORKMEN
IN u. S. EMPLOY
Painters Walk Out
at Capitol and
Office Buildings.

Another strike was called at the
Capitol today while Architect David
Lynn was frantically endeavoring to
get the Capitol and House and Senate
ONCE Buildings in shape for the re-
turn Of Congress on the fifteenth.
This strike is directly against the
United States Government by men
who are directly on the Government
pay roll with no question of outside
contractor involved. It. was called by
Local 368, Painters and Decorators of
America.
The strike involves only the Capitol
and the two House Office Buildings,
the Senate Office Building not being
involved. Union painters at first pro-
tested that only union men should be
employed.
1t was explained that this could not
be done, because painters were hired
when they brought letters Of recon-
mendation from members of Congress
or Senators. This same course was
followed regarding artisans in other
trades.
The strike called today was caused
because Architect Lynn is employing
both union and non-union men In
the painters maintenance work gangs
Of the Capitol and House once Build
ings. There are ~ union and SO nom
union men in these gangs. They are
patronage jobs and, according to the
architects office, no questions as to
their union Affiliations are asked. The
full scale is paid.
The ~ union men walked out on the
job at noon today.

PRESIDENT TO ACT
SOON 0NLOWER|NG
OR RAISING COSTS
Continues Conference on
New Budget, Relief and
Unemployment.
M0RGENTHAU MAY GIVE
HIS VIEWS IN ADDRESS
Speaks in New York Tomorrow
Night-Farley Hits Critics
of Tax Program.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt, making a con-
centrated study of the economic situa-
ton, must decide soon whether to
curtail or increase Government ex-
penditures As an aid to business.
With that problem in mind, he con-
tinued today a series of conferences
with Federal economists and depart
ment heads concerning next years
budget, relief needs and employment
trends.
Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's recent call
ers have urged him to balance the
budget, reduce w. P. A. funds, and
modify the capital gains tax to reassure
merchants and industrialists.
Others have contended, however,
that purchasing power has slumped
and that Federal pump printing"
funds should be continued or expanded.
Although aides stressed that the
President has reached no conclusions,
observers believed Secretary Morgen-
thau might give hint of the admin
istration fiscal attitude in an address
tomorrow night before the League fol-
Political Sciences in New York.
Views on Pump Printing.
Mr.. Morgenthau said his topic would
be spending" and that he would give
his views on Government pump prim-
ing" Much of the Federal outlay fer
that purpose was stopped recently b.
curtailment of the Public Works
Administration.
The other principal source Of Gov
ernment expenditures-work relief-:s
generally expected to continue during
the winter along the lines of the pres
ent announced policy that no one shall
starve.
Works Progress Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins predicted yesterday a sea
sonal rise in relief roles, but indicated
belief that there would be no shor,
age of funds.
ANY increase in relief costs wou
boost the deficit for this fiscal v
and make more difficult the fluff
ment of Mr.. Roosevelt's avowed int
ton to balance next years budget.
Appeals for Spending.
There has been speculation, howev.
that the budget-balancing progra.
may not be carried out because
appeals from some quarters for heavi
spending to counteract the currel
business recession. Requests have been
made especially for action to speed the
housing industry.
Those who have argued that bus!-
| ness would be helped by easing the
capital gains tax were joined yester-
day by Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah, who called for repeal of the
undistributed profits levy.
Democratic Chairman Farley, de-
nouncing business critics of the ad-
ministration, said last night in the
National Radio Forum arranged by
| The Star:
IF they (the critics. think some
| of the taxes are too high, or some
of the tax measures too drastic, the
way is open for them to put their
case before Congress. They ought to
know that no Congress willingly i'm
poses greater taxes than the necessity
of the country demands"

P. O. Will HIRE 2,700
EXTRA YULE CLERKS
Preparations Are Made for Rec.
ord-Breaking Christmas
Mail Delivery.

Preparing for a record-breaking
Christmas mail, the Washington Post
Office Department will add about 2,700
extra clerks, carriers and laborers to
handle the rush, under an allotment
of 7,686.37, Postmaster Vincent c.
Burke said today.
At the same time, Mr.. Burke en-
phasized it will not be possible to
accept additional applications, as the
number each year far exceeds the
possible placements.
In conformity with custom, the ex-
ira work goes first to eligible postal
substitutes who may want it, and then
to veterans, persons with dependents
and others who have had the Tempo
rary employment in previous years and
are acquainted with the needs. Post
master Burke also is reviving q prac-
tice that formerly prevailed and is
giving students in local institutions
and the University of Maryland an
opportunity for employment.
The extra force will go on about
December Is or II and will be required
for anywhere from three days to a
week. Clerks and carriers get 65 cents
an hour and laborers SIS. Because of
the heavy nature of the labor in
volved it will be possible to employ
only q few women.

Son of Japan's Prime Minister
Brings Message to Roosevelt

Although the contents of the mes
sage brought to the President has been
carefully guarded, it has been hinted
that the message is of personal ma
ture and does not necessarily come
into the category of a diplomatic
paper. In the latter event it would
have followed the procedure of having
first been presented to the State De-
partment.
The Konoye family is one of the
most prominent in Japan and Is un-
derstood to be one of only five families
in that empire into which the royal
family Of Japan is permitted to marry.
Young Konoye is being educated for
q diplomatic career and at Princeton
he is not only recognized as a bril-
liant student but highly popular
among the undergraduates.
President Roosevelt will have an
other. foreign caller late this afternoon

Mr.. Parr acquired Laurel Park
about eight years ago from the Balti-

ruptcy of Comdr. Ross. The estate
once was the home of such famous
horses as Sir Barton and Billy Kelly,
who finished first and second in the
1919 Kentucky Derby. 1t was there

race with Man o. War.
Another great horse owned by
Comdr. Ross was Cudgel. The story
goes that it was due to Cudgel's ef-
fort that the Canadian bought and
developed Laurel Park.
According to this story. H. B. Bed
well, Ross trainer, asked the COM
mander to buy the place Ross replied
that he would if Cudgel won the
Brooklyn Handicap that year, 1918
The horse came through and the COM
mander collected on several bets, one
of which was for 1000. Several days
later Ross bought the place.

President Roosevelt today received
Fumitaka Konoye, son of the Prime
Minister of Japan, who brought to the
President message from his dis
tinguished father.
The visit, with its unusual circum-
stances, was informal in its nature and
has aroused much speculation, par
ticularly as the nature of the message
has not been revealed.
Even the fact that the son Of the
Japanese Prime Minister, who Is \
student at Princeton University was
being received by the President todav
for the purpose Of delivering this doc
ument was only learned accidentally
through high official source.
The engagement was made at the
request Of the State Department and
the young Japanese was cordially re-
ceived by the President in> his ONCE
and not in the formal surroundings of
the blue room Of the White House.
where foreign emissaries are usually
received by the President.
Young Konoye was accompanied on
his White House errand by Hugh WILL

Uncle Sam packed up s10,500, 900

The gold was purchased by the
French stabilization fund, created a
year ago when the franc left the gold

fluctuations in currency relationships.
1t was the first time since March,

Name Groups to Study In

GENERAL NEGOTIATIONS
MAY HALT FOR WHILE
Lines of Demarcation for Verti-
cal Unionism Remain Issue
to Be Settled.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Closer to agreement on which in
dustries might be designated for verti-
cal unionism exclusively, but disputing
the lines Of demarcation of these in
dustries, peace conferees of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization and
the American Federation of Labor to-
day were celebrating the advisability
of naming subcommittee to study the
individual industry problems and re-
cessing the general negotiations, pos
sibly for fortnight.
After a three-hour morning con-
ference at which no agreements were
concluded, the two committees re-
cessed until 2:30 this afternoon.
Although neither committee would
enumerate the industries in full on
which there is virtual agreement as to
industrial unionism, George M. Har-
rlson, chairman of the A. F.. of L..
negotiators, said there is no desire to
disturb the status quo in fields where
the industrial type of union is well
established and is the dominant form
OF organization. The coal industry.
he admitted, is an example of this
classification.
we are not far away from agree
ment on this problem" Mr.. Harrison
said.
Seeming Willingness.
Ihat this seeming willingness to
leave important industries entirely
to the c. I. o. wing of the labor
movement is not quite the uncon-
troversial step that it appears was
evident from remarks of Charles P.
Howard. president of the Interna-
tional typographical Union and secre-
tary OF the c. I. O., as he entered
today's conference.
THE term textile industry NAV
mean nothing to you except the manu-
facture of textile goods in the mills, 4"
Mr.. Howard said. But to others
IL might mean an industry rooted in
the cotton fields. embracing the grow
ers and pickers, going through the
spinning processes and straight up
the line through manufacture of the
goods.
You say there is no evident dis
agreement in steel, but where does
the steel industry begin and end?
Does 1t start in the mines, continue
through the mills and end up with
the manufacture of metal furniture.
or is it just some intermediary
process?"
May Work Out Definitions.
1t is considered likely that SUBJ
committees which may be named to
take up these problems of where in
dustries begin and end might work out
definitions mutually agreeable in such
flelds as textiles and steel. but less
optimism Is evident in relation to such
as the automobile industry. where
thousands of skilled mechanics nom-
inany within the Jurisdiction of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, backbone union of the A. F. of l..
have been swept into the United Au-
tomobile Workers, industrial affiliate
OF the c. I. o.
Similar obstacles may be easily cat
alogued in more than a dozen other
industries where any concession BY
either side would necessitate ACTUALLY
q surrender of strength rather thar
merely gesture toward unity.
