Aiken Requests Study

MONTPELIER. VT, March s.
Gov. George D. Aiken today forward
ed to Congress request that it
study the country's monetary system
to ascertain the reason for the
grave disparity between prices re-
ceived by the primary producers and
the fixed charges that are attendant
upon them"
Signing a legislative resolution
urging appointment of a special
congressional committee to make the
study, the militant Republican Gov
ernor said Vermont was the first
State publicly to question whether
we can have economic recovery by
price-f fixing, regulation and control"
1--WE suggest" he added, that
study of our monetary system might
result in improved currency which
would permit farmers to exchange
goods and service with labor and in
dustry on a fair basis. With a fair
price relationship among these three
groups, our economic welfare would
be safeguarded by restoration of the
principles of the age-old law Of
supply and demand"

Battalion Chief Stephen T. Porter
was promoted by the Commissioners
today to chief engineer of the Dis
trict Fire Department, succeeding
Chief Charles E. Schrom, who died
Monday night.
At the same time Battalion Chief
Benjamin w. Weaver was made a
deputy chief engineer to succeed
John Darlington, who died recently
while serving as acting chief during
Chief Schrom's fatal illness.
These appointments clear the way
for promotions all down the line in
the department. Chief Porter will
recommend to the Commissioners
two men to be appointed battalion
chiefs from the ranks of captains;
two lieutenantS to be advanced to
the rank of captain; two Sergeants
to replace the lieutenants, and two
privates to succeed the sergeants
The new chief also will name a
drill master for the department., a
position he held before his advance
ment today.
Chief Porter, 81, is a veteran of
q years service in the Fire Depart
ment. Appointed to the department
as a private on October Is, 1911, he
was made chiefs aide in 1921, pro-
noted to sergeant in 1925, to lieu
tenant in 1923, to captain in 1881
and battalion chief the next year.
Since 1881 he has maintained the
unusually high efficiency rating of
95 per cent. His first citation for
outstanding service came in 1918
when he rescued baby from a fire,
and in 1923 he was awarded a blue
ribbon decoration for his rescue work
in the Knickerbocker Theater dis
aster.
A tall, mild hammered man, the
new chief said, 1T was anybody's S
guess; I didn't really expect it,"

School, which he has commanded
for nearly nine years.

The Yankee Clipper, after a Is

over Washington amid a swarm of
gnatlike Photographic airplanes be-

in front of the Anacostia station at
1922 am.
Despite her tremendous size, the
clipper was able to show her triple
rudder to most of the smaller pho
tographic ships, only the high
speed Army and Navy observation
ships managing to keep formation
with her. After an easy, graceful
landing she was TAXED in front of
the landing ramp at the Anacostia
Station, and her crew, headed by
Capt. Harold E. Gray, came ashore
in Navy motor sailer to complete
arrangements for mooring the giant
flying boat against the platform on
which Mrs. Roosevelt is to stand to
break a bottle of water from the
seven seas on the clippers bow.

While awaiting the landing of
the clipper, a group of aviation
officials, idly figuring the capacity
I,of the new air giant in terms of
passenger ability, came to
the conclusion that with fuel for
an hour or two of flying and all
the remainder of the pay-load
put into passengers at an average
of ITO pounds each, she could
carry total of 221 persons, in ad-
dition to her crew of Is, or a
total of 236 persons.
For transatlantic service. the
Yankee Clipper has seats for SO
passengers, cargo space for 5000
pounds, and fuel tanks for 4,20O
gallons, or more than 121a tons,
of gasoline.
A crowd of several hundred, in
cluding reception committee head
ed by Edgar Morris, president of the
Washington Board of Trade, was on
hand to witness the clippers arrival
and welcome the crew, headed by
Capt. Harold E. Gray.
The landing was made without
incident, despite stiff breeze, which
came up few minutes before the
arrival time, compelling the clipper
to land quartering into the wind.

New Five-Man
Labor Board
Asked byA.E.L.
Wagner Act Changes
Proposed to House
In Amendments
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Federation Of Labor
asked Congress today to set up
new f1ve-man Federal Labor
Board" to replace the present three
man agency which administers the
Wagner Act.
The request was put forward by
Representative Barden, Democrat,
of North Carolina, who also intro
duced a series of other proposed
amendments desired by the A. F. of
L. and previously proposed on the
Senate side by Senator Walsh, DEM
ocrat, of Massachusetts,.
Federation leaders say they be-
lieve creation of new Federal
Labor Board will give President
Roosevelt an opportunity to ap-
point an entirely new set Of admin
istrators for the Wagner Act. The
A. F. of L. has been highly critical
OF some rulings by the present
three-man agency.
"Rules of the Game in the Law"
In statement issued coincident-
ally with the introduction of the
amendments in the House, A. F. of
L. President William Green, said:
'We are convinced that these
amendments will prevent future
bureaucratic blundering The rules
of the game will be written into the
law. The new board will have to
conform with them AS a result, all
sides and all classes will be assured
OF fair play and an opportunity to
be heard before being judged"
Mr.. Green gave notice the Fed
Grafton was determined to fight for
the passage of all its proposed
amendments "at the earliest possible
opportunity"
Nothing" he said, will be per-
mitted to stand in the way of this
vital objective"
Indefinite Delay Opposed.
This statement was taken to in
dicate the federation would oppose
strongly any indefinite postpone
ment of congressional hearings on
the amendments because of prospec-
tive peace negotiations between c.
I. o. and A. F. l.. The C.. I. o. is
opposed to amending the Wagner
Act at this time.
Prompt enactment of the amend
ments," Mr.. Green said, 'is vitally
necessary to safeguard the act from
being entirely destroyed by the pres
ent National Labor Relations
Board
Meanwhile administration forces
were reported to be trying to pre-
vail on Daniel j. Tobin, Teamsters'
Union leader, to reconsider his de-
cision not to serve on the A. F. L.
committee appointed to conduct
peace negotiations.
DiSmay Is Felt.
Both in A. F. L. and administra-
ton quarters there were expressions
of surprise and signs of dismay over
Mr. Tobin's decision, since he has
been the Federation's most outspo-
ken advocate of an immediate end
to the labor schism.

he could not serve because Of pres
