Voters all over the country who

fiscal problem.
Fulton Lewis, jr., news commen-

out the United States in a radio talk

the local finance situation.

Of Washington as the Capital of the

cause Of the serious" condition
that had developed, but neither he
nor Mr.. Allen revealed just what
had been discussed or planned. They
said another conference was sched-
uled for about pm.
Back at the Capitol, however, Mr..
Nichols said they had a plan which
he believed might break the dead
lock over the tax bill.
Mr.. Nichols said he would be glad
to resume negotiations with the
Senate conferees if Senator Overton
calls another conference.
He declared, however, he would
continue to refuse to yield to the
Senate demand for a $500, 900 Fed
eral payment.
"One million, five hundred thou
sand dollars is lot of money to
have to pay to save some Senator's
face" he said. That's all this fight
amounts to now"
Representative Dirksen, Repub-
lican, of Illinois, another member
Of the House conference group,
agreed with Majority Leader Ray
burn that the House probably would
accept the conference report and
pave the way for final enactment,
both the tax and appropriation bills,
if the Federal payment is fixed at
$500 900 for the present fiscal year
only. He said he tried vainly during
the last conference with the Senate
conferees to have that one-year lin
itation agreed to.

Representative Barden would ex-
empt these activities from both the
wage and hour standards: Dairying

and sugar cane, extraction of oils
and juices from fruits and vege-
tables, first preparation of fresh

In addition, Mr.. Barden would
provide an exemption up to Sc hours

fruits and vegetables, and logging
Large Gamers and livestock packers
would be exempted from the hours

The present law permits the
Wage-Hour Administration to ex-

to seek a change.

special message he had planned to
SEND to Congress Monday.
He then went so far as to give
some indication of the purpose of
his letter by saying he was merely
suggesting to Congress that if the
District appropriation bill does not
pass before tomorrow that Congress
should pass a joint resolution ap-
propriating money to meet tomor-
rows pay day for District employees
and thereby keep the District en-
ployes on the job and make it pos
sible for them to be paid for their
work.
Commissioner Allen was delighted
when he learned of the Presidents
action. Mr.. Allen said he felt very
hopeful of quick results.
In talking with reporters. Majority
Leader Rayburn said he believed the
House would have accepted the con-
terence report on the tax bill We'd
nesday had not it provided that the
$6,5O0,000 Federal payment be made
permanent.
Instructions Not Binding.
Although the House in rejecting
the conference report instructed its
conferees not to yield to the Senate
on a lump sum payment in excess
OF $4,000 900, Speaker Bankhead ex-
planned these instructions are not
binding and the House members
have right to resume negotia tions
on that basis and make another at
tempt to reach an agreement.
The same opinion was previously
expressed by Representative Mich
OILS, Democrat, of Oklahoma, chair
man of the House Conference Com
mittee on the tax bill, whose mo-
ton it was the House adopted in
structing its conferees not to yield
on any amount above $5,000,O

local situation and that the Chief
Executive had discussed with him
the situation arising out of the dead
locked appropriation bill.
Sympathetic understanding of the
situation was forthcoming from vari-
Gus creditors to whom D. c. en-
ployes might owe money.
H. A. Brookes, vice president of
the Potomac Electric Power Co.,
said he felt the payless situation of
the District employees was a good
enough excuse to abandon tempor-
arily the 10 per cent penalty on over
due bills.
At the Washington Gaslight Co.,
Robert C. Overs, vice president, said
his organization would do every
thing it could to alleviate incon-
veniences caused by the failure of
the House and Senate conferees to
agree on the 1910 budget.
1t was also understood that WASH
ington department stores were not
particularly worried about the situ-
alton. Most of the credit accounts
are on 80, 60 or even 80 day basis,
it was pointed out.
Meanwhile, reports that the Dis
trict water supply might be shut off
were described as without founda-
ton.
Although the local Army Engineer
Office is embarrassed" because its
funds for maintaining the Districts
water supply are tied up in the
deadlocked District bill, there is no
intention of permitting the guam
tity or quality of water supplied to
the city to decrease 80 long as this

House Leaders Agree
To Consider Proposed
Wage-Hour Changes
Form Blocs Said
To Back Burden's
Amendments
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
House leaders agreed today to take
up compromise wage-hour amend
ments designed to remove certain
farm and white-collar workers from
the operation Of the law.
They decided that unless the La
Dor Committee approves the revi-
sions in day or two, the Rules
Committee would be asked to send
them to the floor for debate any,
way.
Chairman Norton Of the Labor
Committee tried unsuccessfully twice
this session to bring wage-hour
amendments before the House. She
said the latest ones, sponsored by
Representative Barden, Democrat, of
North Carolina, a member of her
committee, were a complete de-
parture" from previous decisions OF
the group.
She indicated in statement there
was no chance for Labor Committee
consideration until hearings are
concluded on amendments to the
Wagner Labor Act.
Farm Bl0cs' Backing.
Mr.. Bardens amendments were
said to have the Endorsement of the
divergent farm blocs which blocked
action on the two previous occasions
He would exempt white-collar
workers with a guaranteed salary OF
at least $3.50 monthly, provided the
employer does not require a mini
mum work week. Mrs. Norton had
proposed fiat 5000 month exemp-
ton.
Representative Barden, like the
committee, proposed to exempt tele-
phone. exchanges with fewer than 500
stations and to permit industry COM
mittees to recommend lower wage
scales for the Virgin Islands and
Puerto Rico than the law requires.

Efforts were also being made to
rush Treasury warrants through the
General Accounting Office to release
the checks to several thousand aged
and others entitled to aid for de-
pendent children, The Social Sc
curity Board rushed through an ad-
vance of $183,000 in funds that will
be due the District for the next three
months for the welfare work with
the aged, dependent children and

and the rush of business at the be-
ginning of new fiscal year has
