PAY PLAN OFFERED ‘FORUNENPLOYED X Labor Federation Asked to ~Aid Scheme to Amend Patent Laws, By the 2:soctated Press. BOBTON, October 8.—Amendment of the Federal patent laws to provide & ‘weapon of defense for the working man against the hardships of unemployment was a plan submitted to the American Federation of Labor Convention here to- day for its indorsement. The plan was contained in a resolu- tlon presented by Andrew Furuseth of the International Seamen’s Union of America, a.veteran of the Labor group. Furuseth. would have the.user of the patented machine which replaced hu- man. Jabor reimburse the displaced em- ployes for at least a portion of their loss. He believed the patent laws could be amended to provide for such a pro- eedure.

SHIBE PARK, Philadelphin, October 8—The personal feud that had appeared to ripen in the relations between Burleigh Grimes, Cardinal spitball pitch- er, and Mickey Cochrane, pep- catcher of the Athletics, was marked by s truce before the _ame today. Grimes, on arrival at the park, asked for Cochrane, and they engaged in a 15-minute conver- sation outside the A’s club house, both shaking hands at the part- ing. Cochrame's ire was aroused in the first game by a “bean ball” thrown at him by Grimes and they had carried on a run- ning verbal tilt ever since. Grimes' “dusting off” of Sim-_ mons at 8t.

Oo-operation hetween rallroads and automoblles was termed ‘“one of the great requirements of the age” in a special yepor$ to the Sixth International Road Congress today. Henry R. Trumbower, professor of economics in the - University of Wis- consin, told the. highway construction e from all- over world that the people and government agencies of several countries are ‘beginning to in- vestigate the possibilities of co-ordinat- ing the movement of persons and com- modities by highway on the one hand and by rail, water and air on the other. Autos Cut In on Rallroads. Prof. Trumbower, who is an econ- omist of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, said it must be recog- nized that common carriers of both passengers and freight constitute but a very small part of the total highway traffic. Private automobiles, in the United States, for instance, he said, are handli most of the total travel and have taken from the rail more than two-thirds of their local passenger business. ‘““Where such a condition occurs,” he sald, ublic authorities should permit the railways to adjust their train sched- ules so as to reduce Ymm'" train miles as much as possible.” Bus operation, he asserted, “whether. carried on by a rallway company or by an independent operator, must be con- ducted as a regulated rnonoroly, Exces- sive competition results in less adequate service,” he declared, “with unneces- sarily low rates, which aggravate the loss to competing railway lines.” Report Combines Many Reports. ‘The report represented the consensus of numerous other reports submitted b experts throughout the world, and wlrl‘ form the basis for any conclusions arrived at by the congress as to the most advanced means of correlating the various forms of transportation. Alfred G. Brosseau, president of the Mack Motor Truck Co., and a vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, presided at the session. Paving was discussed before the ses- sion on construction and maintenance by Roy W. Crum, director of the High- way Research Board of the National Research _ Council of Washington. Fred R. White, chief engineer of the Iowa State Highway Commission, presided. ~ Taking & brief recess from business early this afternoon, the delegates after a lunch at the Willard Hotel traveled to Mount Vernon as guests of the Per- manent International Commission. A wreath was placed on the tomb of George Washington by Vicomte J. de- Rohan, a member of the official French delegation and a kinsman of Lafayette. Construction work in the vicinity of the Mount Vernon estate interested a large number of the delegates. On the return trip they were afforded an oppor- tunity to see what has been done on the Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard. Stops were made at Fort Hunt and thence over the rough grade to the south shore of Hunting Creek and at Wellington Villa, 8 highway grade sep- aration in cqurse of construction was inspected. It s at that point that a system of border roads has been planned for the Memorial Highway. Future de- velopment will front upon the border roads, which will collect traffic and de- liver it to the main highway at selected points of access. Bond Issues Favored. ‘The section of the congress devoted to questions of finance yesterday tenta- tively agreed that bond issues for high- way construction in most countries are desirable, All policies reported upon must receive the agreement of all the official delegates at the final plenary session Friday. Bond issues should be limited to actual requirements for economically justified construction, the section em- phasized, under sound administration and with xubu?u:nt maintenance pro- vided for out of current revenues. The question of which is the best method, bonds or the so-called pay-as- you-go plan, is a controversial one in this country and ope which has ot been answered to the satisfaction of ex- | Ame perts generally. Some States, North Carolina notably, have financed elab- orate road systems through the sale of bonds. Others have steered clear of bonded indebtedness, and paid for their roads as gasoline and license taxes were collected. Paving Problems Discussed. “As more than half the cost of any highway represents grading, drainage, structures, engineering, rights of way, etc., the finance section stated in its report, “which are of practically in- definite life and as the other portions have life well beyond the period of amortization thereof under the serial form, the terms of Bonds for construc- tion of main highways may be 30 years and for improved secondary highways 20 years. “When the needs for expedited high- way construction and improvement have been met,” the report added, “the use of bond issues should be discontinued and the pay-as-you-go basis followed, especially in cases where capital ex- pengltul’el result in each annual bud- Hard-surfacing problems were dis- cussed by another group of the con- gress and various technical methods ‘Wwere approved, particularly for concrete construction, The rt called atten- tion to the results obtained from rub- ber paving blocks, notably in England where the material has been used for several years, and suggested that fur- ther experiments be made in an effort to_determine their practicability. The delegates were entertained at luncheon by the American Automobile Association at the Willard Hotel at noon and this afternoon, late, were to make an excursion to Mount Vernon. This evening at 9 o'clock, Henry L. Stimson, the Secretary of State, and Mrs. Stimson, will entertain the dele- Rates to the congress at a reception in the Pan-American Union Building.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 8.—All England entered today upon a period of mourn- ing, which will have its official elose when the bodies of the R-101 victims are taken to Cardington for burial on Friday after a public memorial at St. Paul's Cathedral. All day guards paced silently to and fro before the rows of coffins in the mortuary under the shadow of West- minster Abbey. It was but a brief moment before dawn when the dead of the wrecked dirigible were brought home from the scene of their fate. Through the chill hours of a stormy morning the victims were taken from the destroyer Tempest at Dover, en- trained for London, and shortly after 3 o'clock borne from Victoria Station to their temporary resting place. Many persons came during the day to view the memorable sight, while mere passersby before the mortuary raised their hats in homage to the dead within. Formalities connected with the dis- aster were resumed today when Coroner Ingleby Oddie of Westminster began his inquest. 'The proceedings were purely preliminary, no identification evidence being taken. The coroner sald he would adjourn the inquiry until completion of the report of a tribunal of investigation which is to be put into action soon by the air ministry. The provisional adjournment was until No- vember 18 with the understanding that if the work of the statutory tribunal was not then completed there would be & still further delay in the inquest, It was understood the members of the government’s court of inquiry would not be named until a new sec- retary for air had been appointed to replace Lord Thomson, who died in the destruction of the R-101 in Franhce early Sunday. It was considered prob- able the appointment of g new air min. ister would be made in a few days. A memorial service will be held Pri- day at St. Paul's Cathedral, with the Prince of Wales representing King George, and members of the govern» ment present. Some of the most nota= ble people in the land and the diplo= matic corps will pay their final tribute to_the victims here. Interment will take place in a single grave, to be marked with an appro- priate monument, probably at Carding- ton, Saturday. As some of the victims were Catholic, it has been suggested that & funeral service containing the Catholic rites be solemnized at Card- ington also Friday morning.

In line with this plan the southern naval dicision under Admiral Heraclyto Belfort has established & base at Florianapolis (Desterro), port in the State of Santa Catharina, between Porto Alegre and Santos. Admiral Belfort will act in concert with Gen. Nepomuceno Costa, who arrived yesteriay to take command of the fifth miiltary area. They will start & simultaneous land and sea attack against the insurgents. Other military preparations continued today. Since the rebellion hns aliénated many states from the federal govern- ment, military availables through call~ ing out of reserve classes will be con- siderably fewer in number than mem- bership of the classes, but nevertheless should provide enough men aterially to aid loyal troops in defense cf the ad- ministration. Navy Moves Toward Pernambuce. A northern section of the Brazillan navy is moving toward Fermambuco, Natal and Para, important northeastern centers, which are understood here to have gone over to the revolution. There has been some figh in Pernambuco, but extent of the clashes is not known Te. ‘The situation in Rio de Janeiro is normal. Theaters and cinemas are open, but attendance is scarce, Banks are closed for 15 days, but beyond in- convenience there has been no serious ture supplies to control prices and foodstuffs. A measure & 30-day mora- torium on all civil and commercial ob- ligations has been introduced into the ber of Deputies by Deputy Lem. gruber Pilho. It also provides that 30 per cent of the balance of a bank ac- count may be withdrawn in the course of any month. Government spokesmen insist that the administration of President Wasl - ton Luis has the revolution well hand.

Indeed, & member of the commission has practically said that at least six months more time should be given to the writing of a final report.

Indeed, jon's may provide the specific issue. it is here surmised is subject to the qualifications that the commission can at any time make’ partial reports. It has made one, last January. Doubtlet tements will emanate from the commission during its present ses- sion. However, what the public really means by a report and what it looks forward to eagerly is the final sum of the commission’s recommendations on the outstanding question, fir;hlblm Hence second probl faced by the commission is, of course, the come tent of its report. The report will cover much beside prohibition, The full scope of the commission's work is by the which beside the one on prohil include others on penal institutions, Jjuvenile delinquency, eriminal justice and the foreign born, cost of erime and the like. The largest public expectant however, looks to. what the commission Such areas m, in its discretion, can cover. One is the question whether the prohibition amendment to the Con- stitution 1 enforceable or ought to be repealed or changed. It is rumored that within the commission there is difference of opinjon as to whether thig fundamental question should be taken up, To take up this tter would be to enter the field of the Constitution, Any recommendations contemplating chanre would take mmg years to be upon by the 48 Btates. Question of Modification. The second area upon which the commission can report is the Volstead act, Whether act could l‘rmflumy be “modified is a simple and obvious :Iguunnn for the commission to take up. f the commission should recommend modificatiori of the Volstead act, such recommendations could be ted by a simple vote of Congress. It is, for example, the Volstead act and not the Constitution that fixes one- half of 1 per cent as the permitted alcoholic content of beverages. The commission, if it should choose, could recommend a change to 3, 4 or 5 per cent or any other per cent that might reasonably be expected to be upheld by the courts. Many detalls of the Vol- stead act offer similar opportunity for recommendations, h as the quantity of liquor a physielan may prescribe or a druggist sell. ‘The third fleld in which the com- mission can reasonably make recom- mendations is the matter of defining the limits of enforcement as between the Federal Government and the States. That the commission may mal an im nt recommendation in this ersham, writing A which became public, stated, in the. form of a suggestion on his personal initiative: “If the National Government were to attend to preventing importation, manufacture and shipments in inter-% state commerce of intoxicants, the, States undexnnn{ internal police r::- ulations to prevent sale, saloons, 2 easies, d so forth, the national and State la Pratt Issues Order on Comphint‘ of Newspapers Stands Have Been Robbed.
