The uprising was precipitated
by angry delegates led by Shafer

"handpicked" leader. . ~..
Convention Chairman Fred
Roth vainly pounded for order as
various delegates moved towards
the pair.
WEARS PLACARDS
During the confusion, Shafer
placed two placardS about his per-
son, one in his hat and one on his
chest. The first read:
What good is a liberal con.
structive program. with jittery

the other said: What we need

delegation threatened to pummel
Shafer and large squad Of police
and plain-clothes men joined the
melee.
Kaempfer was rushed out of
the building by irate police and
told not to come back.
Until the riot, the convention
had proceeded in an orderly fash.
ion which was in sharp contrast
to yesterdays tumultuous debate
Roth and the nine convention
committee chairmen refused to
permit debate on any of the more
than 100 resolutions sponsored by
the groups. Under the strict gag
placed upon the delegates, the
resolutions simply were read by
the chairmen and approved in one
batch by standing vote.

adopted by the convention were;

He is married, has two children,
weighs 200 pounds and worries
about Lis waistline, his golf score

He belongs to the Topeka Coun-
try Club, the Elks' Club and the
Chamber of Commerce. At "a, he's

He voted for Franklin Delano
Roosevelt in 1882 and ALT M. Lam
don in 1896, but his alma mater,
Kansas University, remembers him
best for the prodigous end runs
he used to make on its football

In short, he is one of the "hairs"

he is concerned no "4-inch tail

businessmen.
Although a number of local
Washington business men were
invited to the conference, the
chairman, Fred Roth, Cleveland
shoe manufacturer, omitted the
name of the District of Columbia
when he called the roll by States
to afford delegates an oppor'
tunity to express their views.
REGRETS OVERSIGHT"
When reminded of the omission,
Roth regretted it as an "over.
sight" and promised to give local
delegates an opportunity to be
heard today. Most Of the Wash
ington delegation do not expect
to attend today's session, however.
Herbert ]. Rich Of Rich's Shoe
Store, 1901 F st. N. W., one of
the District delegates, said he did
not insist on an opportunity to be
heard at the general meeting be-
cause 80 much had already been
said which met the views of small
business men," Besides, Rich said,
he does not have much to com
plain about. Business is good in
Washington" he declared, "and
I think it will continue to be good.
We are getting swell deal from
the 10000 Government EN-,
ployes in washington"
BUILDING IN SLUMP
JF. Keystone, president of the
Thurm Co., Inc, 412 Insurance
Building, declared, however, that
business in my line is very low" "
The Thurm Company, Mr.. Roy
stone said, specializes in Govern
ment building work. He was a
member of the group meeting Of
yesterdays conference which dis
cuSsed loans to small companies. "
my idea," Mr.. Keystone told
his group, "is that we should
draw up a resolution for the
President advocating loans to
small businesses by local banks.
Such loans would be guaranteed
by the Government"
"HIT-OR-MISS" FARLEY
Burress Moore, jr., proprietor Of
the Hazard Shoe Store, Oil Penn
sylvania Ave. N. w., was a dele
gate to the conference from the
District.
I'm my opinion" he said, mot
much is going to come Of the
conference. It is too much Of a
hit-and-misS affair" BurreSS,
who is a member of the confer
ence'S group on taxation, met
with his group last night to
formulate set Of resolutions.
Most Of the people in our
group are fed up on the undis-
tributed profits tax" he de-
clared.
! Gerald D. Grosner, Of GroSner's
clothing store and director of the
National Association of Retail
Clothiers, was member of the
group discussing wages and hours
He described the conference as
whole as "at least ultrademocratic'
and predicted that everyone at the
conference would have his say.
Grosner declared that he, as
a small business man, did not have
much to complain about and pre-
dicted that by the end of this
year business in Washington would
be ahead of last year.
