HOUSE STUDIES
D. C. AID BUDGET

The House District Appropria-
tions subcommittee this afternoon
began consideration Of the public
welfare budget for the District for
the fiscal year 1888.
In the budget reported to Con-
gress yesterday, the District would
receive a reduced appropriation
of 100000 for direct public as
sistance. This reduction is ex.
Fpected to receive careful considera-
ton by the subcommittee, of
which Representative Ross Col
Inns CD, Mississippi, is chair
man.
At yesterdays hearing, the sub
committee took up estimates of
the Health Department, and is
understood to have vigorously
criticized attempts of the depart
ment to obtain publicity for itself.
Mr.. Collins, following the hear
ing, told the press Sarcastically
that he proposes to give the de-
partment a newspaper, a radio
station and a press agent"

DEFENSE BILL
BARS CAMERAS

GN.S) The House yesterday
passed a Senate approved bill to
strengthen existing law prohibit
ing the making of photographs,
maps, and sketches Of vital mill
tary and naval defenseS.
The measure, requested by Pres
ident Roosevelt, now returns to
the Senate for approval of minor
House amendments.
It would extend the scope OF
existing law to U. s: possessions
and provide a penalty for its VIC
lation of a $1,000 fine and i'm.
prisonment. Representative May
Of Kentucky, ranking Democrat
on the House Military Affairs
Committee, told the House.
"It has come to the attention
of the President and the War
Department that numerous pho
tographs have been made re-

(RO, Michigan, who attended the
hearing, although not a member
of the committee.
Knudsen was quick to tell the
committee that labor warfare last
year in his plants had their effect
on production and costs. He added,
however, that conditions have
shown considerable Improvement
since the trouble has been settled
Shop efficiency suffered in
the first half of 1887 to a con-
siderable extent through strikes
and unauthorized stoppages' the
actual man-hour loss being
about forty million" he said.
The loss in manufacturing
efficiency has, however, shown
considerable improvement since
the new models were announced
and both quality and costs are
at the present time up to expec-
tation, and can be expected to
remain in that position, since
strikes have stopped and labor
relations are much improved"
Outlining the reasons for the
lay off, Knudsen said:
Sales in 1887 were excellent
both on new and used cars, and
despite the handicap OF the
strikes were at a point where it
looked as if 1886 figures would
be reached or bettered.
consequently. the factory
schedules were set to equal the
last quarter of 1896 and EN-.
ployment arranged accordingly
on a 4O-hour-week basis. Octo-
ber and November retail de-
liveries in the United States
were 225,109 new General Mo-
tors cars against 1893 $50 in 1885
and 379,657 used cars against
357,12 in 1886.
During the last Today period
in November. however, a severe
drop in sales of both new and
used cars took place. In fact.

this would be the low point and
expected to keep the men work
ing, on shortened hours, but
when the second period in De-
cember showed a drop to IS per
cent of 1896, it became neces-
sary to adjust the working
force, which was done by re-
tanning all the men we could
take care of on 24-hour basis,
and laying off the balance.
In order to avoid misunder.
standings by the men and the
public generally a statement
was issued by the corporation
under date of December % set

adjustment.
THE drop in sales in so short
a period is the most severe ex.

expected and entirely beyond our

by strikes, but we made that up

said, when Chairman Byrnes

whether General Motors output
had been affected by labor
trouble.
General Motors never had a
sharper reduction in production
than in the last quarter Of
1887" KnudSen said.
Altogether, General Motor
turned out 1,849, 500 cars in 1887

Confidence
Need, Says
Barton

The Government can and will
create business confidence when It
discovers what it is that makes
business go, Representative Bruce
Barton of New York told the
Advertising Club of Washington
at the Raleigh Hotel yesterday.
When men can see sufficient
hope of profit to be willing to
make a long bet-to invest today
for returns 10 or 20 years away
then chimney smoke and Jobs
multiply, the advertising man said.
Without a business in which
we can all have confidence there
will be no permanent prosperity,
no solution of unemployment.
Business goes forward not by
law, nor by finance, nor by col
lective bargaining, nor by wish
full thinking or kind words" he
said.
Business seeks to simplify
and economic it's operations.
Government tends to become al
ways more complicated and ex-
pensive. If the automobile had
developed in the same way that
the political machine has de-
veloped, it would now weigh 10
tons and cost $4,000; it would
have attached to it a steam
roller, a lawn mower, an egg
beater and the services Of five or
six high-priced men would be
required to get it out Of the gar
age onto the street"

GROUP IGNORES
ROOSEVELT PLEA
Cartwright Backs Bill
Carrying 238 Million

G.N.S) Disregarding Presiden
tial recommendation for slasheo
road-building program, Chairman
Cartwright of the House Road:
Committee today introduced a bill
to extend the 100000 annual
highway authorization through
the fiscal year 1910 and 1941.
FIGURES TENTATIVE
In a statement, however, Cart.
wright, an Oklahoma Democrat,
declared the figures in the new
bill were tentative" the measure
going into the hopper to serve as a
basis for extended" committee
hearings.
Cartwright had previously re,
vealed that a majority of the
committee is opposed to suspen-
sion Of the entire program in 1889
and a reduction from $238, 600, 900
to $125, 100000 in the authorize
tion for the next two years, as de-
by Mr.. Roosevelt.
URGES ECONOMY
"T am a strong advocate Of
economy" the committee chair
man declared, "but I believe re-
ductions should be made in all
agencies of Government and
not just make roads the goat"
Suspension of the 1899 program
was asked by the President in a
special message to Congress last
November, but his budget mes
sage yesterday called for the ex-
penditures to be reduced to only
$1O0. 100000.

new NAPOLEON
CODE is limited
BY CHAUTE EMPS
French Premier Cites
Danger in Strikes
By KENNETH T. DOWNS

PARIS, Jan. 6 G.N.SD "A new
"Napoleonic code" for France, tx
insure national security, wa!
hinted by Premiere Camille Chau
temps today in an unexpected
proclamation to the nation.
Appealing to all for cooperation
in bringing about social order, the
premier cited the danger to the
prosperity and security of France
inherent in labor demonstrations
such as the recent general strike
of public service employees which
paralyzed Paris.
APPEAL TO ALL CLASSES
Chautemps' hint of a new code
to insure social order was con,
tanned in an appeal to representa-
tives of labor and capital, to meet
and pledge support to maintenance
of industrial peace.
THE Government" he said,
will give the sanction of law
to whatever new peace code is
drafted, by submitting it to par
lament for approval.
Then all citizens, regardless
of their political theology, and
regardless of their social station,
must submit to sovereignty of
the law.
SEES CRISIS AHEAD
ITO attain this necessary end,
the government will not hesi-
tate to invoke all the means at
its command and will take re-
sponsibilty for its perpetuation."
Chautemps' called attention to
the recent sudden resumption OF
labor disputes "of a violence and
intensity such as we have not eX-
perienced for a long time"
This situation" he said,
"has created a dangerous phase
for the prosperity and security
of France. 1t is impossible that
it should be prolonged"

lima, chairman, regarding what
the Government could do to help

manufacturer said:

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6 GN.SO
Assistant Secretary of War Louis

tion providing for a national ref
erendum on a declaration Of war
asserting:

tuition, the President of the
United States would be reduced

tanother vacancy before long.
Thus. the New Dealers are con-
dent Roosevelt really won his
fight to liberalize the court, even
though he went down to defeat in
his efforts to enlarge its member
ship. Had not Mr.. Roosevelt
turned the spotlight of contro-
versy on the court, they said, the
elderly conservative justices prob
ably would have stayed on and on.
WANT NO FUROR
Irrespective of the merits of that
argument, Mr.. Roosevelt now has
another appointment to make. 1t
is one that is going to be made
with exceeding care by the PreSi-
dent, and subjected to exceeding
scrutiny by the Senate before con-
firmation. Neither the White
House nor the Senate wants an
other furor such as was raised
over Hugo L. Black.
Washington is in speculative
fever over the appointment. The
President still has in his desk the
long list of possibilities, from
which last summer he reached in
and selected Senator Black. This
list at the time had been narrowed
down to three or four, the others,
besides Black, being Solicitor Gen
eral Stanley Reed, Judge Sam G.
Bratton, of the Tenth United
States Circuit, and Senator Sher-
man Minton of Indiana, leader
in the fight for the Roosevelt
court plan.
SENATOR UNLIKELY
In view of the embarrassing
furor over the Black appointment
and the jibes at senatorial
courtesy" which enabled Justice
Black to be confirmed without
meticulous examination into his
record, it is considered doubtful If
Mr.. Roosevelt will go to the
Senate again for a nominee. That
might look too much like pack
ing the bench with Senators.
If for that or other reasons, Sena'
tor Minton is eliminated, it leaves
the Solicitor General and Judge
Bratton on what was the preferred
list last summer at the time Of
the Black appointment. Both men
are known to be highly regarded
by Mr.. Roosevelt. Reed has borne
the brunt Of defending New Deal
Legislation before the high court.
However, Mr.. Roosevelt has a
penchant for pulling surprises, as
in the case of Black, and so all
speculation was hinged about with
many ifs, ands and butts.

Outlook for lining up two-thirds

sidered bright.
With resumption Of debate on
the measure in the Senate today,
senators from Dixie let it be
known they consider the bill an
affront to the South. They are
battling it on constitutional
grounds, claiming the measure an
interference with State rights.
CLOTURE OPPOSED
While a majority of the Senate
is pledged to vote for passage of
the bill, passed in somewhat SINH
lar form by the House, some of
the advocates were opposed to
cloture.
Majority Leader Barley was
hopeful a vote on the bill would be
reached within a week.
Foes of the measure insisted
they were not filibustering:
that they were merely explaining
what they considered inequities
in the measure. But they showed
no weakening in their purpose to
debate the bill thoroughly"
