Preventing the move to bring the
resolution to the floor, the vote held
it in committee where it was ex-
pected to remain for the balance
of this session
President Roosevelt's opposition
to the amendment was transmitted
to tense house by Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead. The speaker
read letter from the president in
which he advised against the reso-
luton, although admitting that he
believed the sponsors of it were
sincere in their belief it would help
to keep this country out of war.
II measure my words when say
this is the greatest question sub
mitted to congress since I became
a member more than 20 years ago."
Bankhead said.
Majority Leader Sam Rayburn
added his warning to that of Mr.
Roosevelt and the speaker.
THE adoption of this resolution
would do more to plunge the United
States into war than any action
the congress of the United States
has taken" Rayburn said solemnly.

Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye,

pounded the cabinets decisions to
the emperor.
Although the greatest secrecy
was maintained it was generally
believed that, after a final offer
of peace terms. which the Chinese
were not expected to accept, the
govrnment planned to destroy the
Hankow government and sweep
south China clean of Marking fac
tionS.
Every member O. the cabinet and
others who will attend the meet
ing apparently have been pledged
to secrecy. The conference was eX-
pected to act on the problems pre-
sented to it with speed and an
nounce any decisions Immediately.
While some quarters believed
that the conference would deal
with peace proposals, others we're
convinced that Japan plans, with
out further hesitancy, to occupy
all important parts of China.
Many believed Japan will now
announce a program to extend oc-
cupation to South China, assault
ing the Canton area and virtually
isolating Hong Kong. the impor-
tant British Crown colony.
These quarters said that in the
event China fails to accept Japa-

Tribunal Agrees to

Decision

WASHINGTON, J n. 10.
(UP) - The supreme court
today agreed to speedy con-
sideration of the Electric
Bond and Share company
test of the 1885 public utility hold
ing act and in other rulings upheld
the treasury contention in two ma
jor income tax cases.
The court set arguments on the
Electric Bond and Share company
case for Feb. 7, granting the wish
of the government for an early
hearing on the case which has far
reaching implications.
In two other actions the court
ruled on important tax cases. The
administration scored new victory
in it's drive against tax avoidance
when it refused to review ST.
100000 tax assessment against Al
mours Securities, Inc, the personal
holding company of Alfred 1. du-
Pont and Ills Iamiy. The court
ruled that British corporate divi-
dend taxes may not be deducted
from federal income tax returns
filed by Americans in this coun-
try.
The court also agreed to hear
argument in the appeal of j. D
Adams Manufacturing company OF
Indianapolis for a review of vail
dity of applying the Indiana gross
income tax to income derived from
interstate commerce from tax ex-
empt municipal bonds.

ers are paid 35-40 cents an hour.
The Secretary Of Labor, however,
set a minimum wage Of 42.5 cents

so established tend to increase wage
costs in many industries.

brings out several suggestions, made
by Government officials and ex-
ecutives of the industries affected
by the Walsh-Healey Act. Among
the proposals are included the rec
concentrations that basic" hiring
rates In industry be given more
careful consideration; that mini
mum wage agreements made be-
tween industry and labor should be
generally accepted, or minimum
wage agreements between the vari-
Gus companies in a given industry,
where such agreements exist; that
geographical differentials should be
more thoroughly investigated, and
that generous allowances should be
made for superannuated and handi-
capped workers
An important suggestion is that
some provision should be made for
depression conditions, when wage
rates may have to be revised down
ward to maintain the volume Of
employment.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-After
passing through the dullest nine
months since 1882, the automobile
industry is now booking orders at
a rate that has led makers to
label as too conservative their
earlier estimates of rs per cent
increase in sales during 1899, accord
ing to a survey by Dun g. Brad
street, Inc.
The slack in production has been
taken up so quickly that the gap
below last year, which amounted to
SO per cent during the first nine
months of this year and to 33 per
cent in October, has disappeared
entirely. The trade anticipates that
the sharp increase in output sched-
uled for the last two months OF
1888 will raise the years total to
2,6O0,OOO units. For 1899, estimates
of 3,500,OOO to 3,750,0 ,000-approxi-
mately the annual average for the
past five years-are being made
currently.
The beginning of the present re-
covery dates as far back as last
March. National used car week,
scheduled for March to IL, helped
dealers break up the jam of old
cars and opened the way for the
removal of burdensome stocks OF
new models. Cautious operating
schedules assisted in the liquidation.
At the end of June, IL automobile
manufacturers reported 38 per cent
less inventories than the the begin
ming of the year, while 922 dealers
showed a contraction of l8 per cent
BY the close of the 1888 model sea-
son, field stocks were down to ap-
proxlmately 100000 new units, the
| lowest number of any introduction
period since the 1884 season.
A healthy inventory condition
was not the only factor favoring
the outlook for the 1899 model crop.
/ Dealers stressed the improvements
! in appearance and performance.
Both through added equipment and
lower list prices. customers were
offered more for their money.
officials noting the enthusiastic
public reception accorded new
models at automobile shows estl-
mated that the trade would be well
repaid for it's $50, 1000, 900 expenditure
for tools. dies and other items Incl
dental to the changes in design.
Beginning with the week OF Sep
| tember "a, automobile production
increased sharply. While the in
dustrys total weekly output in mid
September was no more than $4,000
cars and trucks. by midNovenber
more than $4,000 units week were
coming off assembly lines. After
eight consecutive weekly gains
production passed the 1897 level
for the first time this year. Makers
reported that, despite the steady
upswing in output, backlogs OF
orders continued to rise. insurlng a
100000 unit production for the
final month of the year.
