GLASS BILL SOON MAY BE CLARIFIED Senate Subcommittee Tues- day Will Consider Meyer Suggestions. Clarification of the situation in re- gard to the Glass banking bill is e pected in Senate Banking and Cur- rency Committee circles this week. The subcommittee of the Banking Commit- tee, headed by Senator Carter Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, plans to hold a meeting Tuesday morning for the pur- pose of taking up the amendments to the Glass bill suggested by Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board. The subcommittee also will consider the question of going ahead with the investigation of the “conspiracy” of bankers, charged by Senator Glass, who alleges that bankers were brought here from different parts of the country and told what to say against the bill in a “nigh school” in charge of certain prominent banking heads. Opposition Is Reported. Efforts are being made, it was learn- ed yesterday, to have Senator Glass drop the proposed investigation. Inti- mations have been conveyed to him that if the investigation is dropped, some of the bankers will abandon their opposition provided the bill is modified along the lines suggested by the Re- serve Board. Under the circumstances, it would osuse o surprise in Senate circles if the proposed inquiry was abandoned. Modifications Easy. Senator Glass has expressed the view that the subcommittee can agree on the modification of the bill in 2 or 3 hours. The Virginia Senator is prepared to accept a considerable share of these modifications, according to his col- Jeagues, although he has not publicly \ announced such a purpose. If the sub- committee can agree on a modified bill, a favorable report to the Senate by the Banking Committee is looked on as certain. In spite of the furore of opposition aroused by the bill in some banking quarters, Senator Glass is hopeful of legislation. If he can get a favorable report from the Banking Committee he will do bis utmost to have the bill put on the Senate program and taken up for_consideration. Chairman Norbeck of the Senate Banking Committee expects the com- mittee to give attention in a prelimi- nary way to the stock market inquiry the latter part of next week. FARM BOARD POST REMAINS UNFILLED Vacancy Created by Resignation of Sam R. McKelvie Is Still Vacant, By the Assoclated Press. ‘Through all the storm swirling about in and out of Congress, the Farm Board is hitting on only seven of its duly authorized eight cylinders.

Others who were ap- proached by the administration have not been in a position to accept. Sam R. McKelvie, former Nebraska ‘Governor, created the vacancy when he 1etired as wheat member of the board. He was the third to leave since the board was established m July, 1929— former Chairman Alexander Legge and C. C. Teague being the others. The Southern States have made strong efforts to obtain representation upon the board from that section. Most of the candidates put forward come from there. Both Chairman Stone and Secretary | Floren: of Agriculture Hyde—ex officlo member —say they have no idea when Presi- dent Hoover will name tne eljghth mem- ber and that so fur as they know there is now no one in prospect.

The unexpected discussion of the| Democratic leadership in the House to| force & vote tomorrow on the Philippine independence bill, perhaps under sus- pension of the rules, with all debate limited to 40 minutes, brought down | vigorous protest from several quarters yesterday. Characterizing Speaker Garner's sud- den announcement of the program &s “a high-handed procedure,” Represent- ative Bacon, Republican, of New York, charged that it was an obvious move to jam the bill through the House before | | members had an opportunity to study it and while many of them were away from Washington, Farm Organizations Busy. Three of the major farm organiza- tions, confronted with the prospect of immediate consideration of the measure, were busy yesterday circularizing House members in behalf of two amendments. Although these organizations, the Farm Bureau Federation, National Grange and the Milk Producers' Federatiom, favor the Hare bill as against the Hawes-Cutting bill in the Scnate, they insist that the measure must be chanzed if it is to benefit agriculture. Decision to take up the Philippine bill, which has been reported by the Insular Affairs Committee under the chairman- ship of Representative Hare, Democrat, of South Carolina, was announced by the Speaker just before the House ad- journed after its vote on the revenue bill and when most of the Represent- atives had left the chamber. Speaker Garner said yesterday he would ask unanimous consent for immediate con- sideration of the Hare bill and if it is not obtained he will recognize Chair- man Hare's motion for suspension of the rules. Anxious for Action. “Both political parties for 30 vears have asked for consideration of Philip- pine independence,” he said, “and it ought to be disposed of. The matter has been under discussion all over the country. There has been a unanimous report from the committee on the Hare bill and I will take responsibility of recognizing a motion to suspend the rules if unanimous consent agreement is not obtained.” WETS’ “PLAN TO BUY” DELAWARE ASSAILED Lay Delegates to Methodist Con- ference Pass Resolution by Unanimous Vote.

By the Associated Press, NORRISTOWN, Pa., April 2.—De- claring that “our ‘economic structure is upside down and naturally affairs are in a chaotic state,” Maj. Gen. Smedley D.

By the Associated Press An emergency board named by President Hoover yesterday held that the Louisiana & Arkansas Railway and the Louisiana, Arkansas & Texas Rail- way should keep the wages of their workers on the same general level with those of other railroads. Commenting on the wage cuts for trainmen and engineers, the board said it did “not believe that the wages of employes of this road should be out of line with customary wages in similar lines of employment and suggests that at least the second reduction on the Louisiana, Arkansas & Texas should be withdrawn.” Five Disputes Reported. ‘There were five disputes between employes of the roads and the manage- ments. But the largest was between engineers, firemen and other trainmen over & 15 per cent cut ordered 'effective January 23 by the management, but reduced to 10 per cent on March 4. Employes of the L, A & T., how- ever, had had a 15 per cent cut Au- gust 24, 1931, and the second would have reduced their wages 23 per cent within a year. It was to this second cut that the report referred. “It is clear,” said the report, “that an arbitrable controversy was presented over the wage reduction and revision of rules made eflective February 9, 1931, and that an arbitrable question is here presented. It would appear that the carrier should adjust this whole controversy or submit it to arbitration.” Conductors Laid Off. A dispute involving train porters, | brakemen and switchmen on the old | Louisiana Railway and Navigation Line was found to have been settled. Arguments regarding reinstatement | of two conductors, one laid off on | charges of having left a switch open and the other discharged for refusing to permit an audit while on his run, were held by the road to be more prop- erly worked out by the management than by outsiders. The board was composed of W. P. Stacy, Julian H. Moore and Davis R. Dewey. Ex-Teacher at Vassar Dies. | POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, April 2 | ) —Laura J.
