warning c, I. o. and A. F. of L.
factions in the labor world. ar
rived in Washington today for a
one-night stay. 1t was his first visit

bombing suspect will speak tonight
on Labor and Civil Rights at a
mass meeting at the MayfoWer Ho-
tel. This is one stop in a Nation
wide speaking tour which Mr.. Moon
ey opened in New York last night.
He has two themes-the unity of
labor and the freeing of Warren
K. Billings, who was sent to prison
with Mooney in the San Francisco
bombing case and who still is behind
bars.
Says Billings Is Innocent.
Billings is just as innocent as
am Mr.. Mooney said at a press
conference at the MayfoWer, where
he is staying. He was met this
morning at Union Station by a
throng of sympathizers. He lunched
at the Capitol with Representative
Marcantonio, American Labor, of
New York and hoped to see Will
liam Green. president of The Amer
lean Federation of Labor, ard John
L. Lewis, president of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations.
The A. F. of L. and the C. I. o.
can get together and so.ve their
differences by meeting around a
conference table until they reach a
common ground, as President Roose-
welt has suggested, Mr. Mooney said
at his press conference He said,
however. that it was necessary for
both sides not to bring any PIE
conceived notions to the confer
ence.
Did he plan to help bring about
this unity? he was asked
Is Just a Voice.

House Leaders Tackle
Social Security After
Wage-Hour Setback
Hope for Approval
Of Many Amendments
To Present Act
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
House leaders, rebuffed in a drive
to push through wage-hour amend
ments quickly, tried their hands to-
day at winning approval for pro-
posed changes in the Social Security
Act.
The social security amendments,
however, were called up under pro-
cedure more favorable to passage
than the stringent rules by which
the House refused yesterday even
to consider the wage-hour revisions.
The latter could have been ac-
cepted or rejected only in their en-
tirety, while the social security
amendments may be rewritten-if
the House sees fit.
Principal Objection.
The principal objection expressed
to the wage-hour legislation was its
redefinition of farm exemptions. to
which some farm organizations were
opposed. Included among the
amendments shelved, at least for
the time being. was one exempting
from the act white-collar workers
making 5000 or more month.
The legislation may be brought up
again. but Chairman Norton of the
Labor Committee said that as far
as she was concerned, there would
be no further attempt.
In general the proposals to revise
the Social Security Act give its bene-
fits to additional classes of workers
and freeze or lower the taxes financ-
ing the program.
Those to whom the old-age insur-
ance provision would be extended
include 100000 employees of National
banks and State banks which are
members of the Federal Reserve
system. From 10000 to $4,000
maritime workers also would be in
cluded.
The proposals would freeze the
old-age insurance pay roll tax at
per cent on both employers and en-
ployes for the next three years.
Since the present law would advance
the tax rate one-half of l per cent
next January /, this proposal was
estimated to save these taxpayers
S275,0000O0 a year for the three
year period.
Payments under the plan would
be started to benefciaries in 1910
instead of 1912.
Jobless Compensation Limit.
Another change would limit the
unemployment compensation levy
to the first $4,000 of an individuals
compensation, at an estimated an
nual saving of s65,O0O,0OO to en-
ployers, who pay all of this tax.
The amendments would increase
the Federal contribution to States
for old-age assistance from SIS to
$40, making it possible for elderly
persons to receive $40 month if
States pay their maximum proper
ticn. These payments are distinct
from the insurance plan. The
States make them to the needy
elderly without any prepayment
tax.
The Federal contribution to de-
pendent children would be increased
from the present 81 Federal aid for
every So of State funds to straight
dollar-for-dol matching. This
was estimated to cost S29,O0O,0O
and the increased old-age assist
ance was expected to cost IS ,OOO, 900
year more.
