Mr. Green said strong opposition to he sales tax would be forthcoming from the convention floor of the federation in Cincinnati next week. Part of the plan against enactment, he seid, would “consist of the organization and mobil- fzation of all organizations which are | opposed to the legislation.” “Labor views with feelings of deep apprehension the attempt of the advo- cates of sales tax legislation to trans- fer the burden of taxation from the wealth of the Nation to the messes cf the people,” he added. “Having con- sistently held that sales tax legisla- | tion is un-American and inconsistent with our democratic form of govern- ment, the American Federation of Labor will make cales tax legislaticon en issue to be determined by a record vote of the members of Congress. “Labor has bome the brunt of a three.year depre:sion and at the pres- ent time it is_undergeing continued | squalor and want Rescued From Rags and Hovel FAMILY REHABILITATED BY CHEST ORGANIZATION. | aays and bathed and cleanly clad by a member agency of the t This mother and four children recently were found living in rags and amid The bright-faced youngsters were given their first full meal in | jntarnational minds,” Sir Ronald de- Community Chest. —Star Staff Photo. hardship and suffering.

Senator Jones had a long career in Congress, serving in the House from | 1899 to 1999 and after that in the Sen- ate for several terms. He was con-| sidered an expert on merchant marine, reclamation, water power, Alaska and | control of rivers and harbors. He was chairman of the important Appropri- ations and Commerce Committees and held ranking positions on the District of Columbia and Irrigation and Recla- mation Committees, Born at Bethany, Ill,, October 9, 1863, Senator Jones was the son of Wesley and Phoebe McKay Jones. He was graduated at Southern Illinois College in 1886 and the same year admitted to the bar. On October 13, 1886, he mar- ried Minda Nelson of Enfield, Ill. They had a son and a daughter. Three years after their marriage Mr. | and Mrs. Jones moved (o the then Ter- ritory of Washington and located at North Yzkima. In 1917 they took up their residence at Seattle.

Death of Jones Leaves Republicans With Only 46' Senators. By the Associated Press. Democrats today had a majority of one over Republicans in the Senate for the short session beginning in December. The death of Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washingion, veteran Republican, left the line-up Democrats, 47; Republicans, Farmer-Labor, 1; vacancies, 2. The other vacancy was in Colorado, where Karl C. Schuyler, Republican, seemed assured of victory over Walter Walker, Democrat, for the unexpired term of the late Senator Charles L. Waterman.

By the Associated Press ALBANY, N. Y, November 19.— Franklin D. Roosevelt leaves Albany today to be gone two or three weeks, during which he will tirn his attens tion from State affairs to war debts and other problems of the National Government. He goes to his home at Hyde Park preparatory to calling upon President Hoover at Washington Tuesday after- noon. Motoring away from the State capital, the President-elect before he returns will hold conferences with Democratic congressional leaders besides his con- ference on administration problems with President Hoover. Leaving Wash- ington Tuesday night, he plans to go by train to Warm Springs for his va= cation. There, as the nominal chief to whom the Democratic leaders in Congress will look, he will go over legislative ques- tions with Speaker John N. Garner, the Vice President-elect, and other members of Congress. Now Under Guard. He does not expect to see Prof. Ray- mond Moley, who will be his advisor at the White House meeting, again uptil his visit to New York Monday or ufitil he reaches the National Capital Tues- day.

They were taken into Mr. Rooge- velt's study. Ask Special Session, “Governor.” Weissman began, “our first proposal is that you call a special session of the Legislature to appropriate funds to take care of all the heedy in the State.” Roosevelt explained that $15,000,000 was available for relief and that the unemployment relief administration was handling the situation. He sug- gesttd that the men lay their case be- ore that body. “But,” continued Weissman, “there is mass suffering in all parts of the country." “Of course there is,” Mr. Roosevelt agreed. “One specific case is at Amsterdam,” the delegate continued, “where the mills are shut down. Another is at Hudson, and at Port Chester, in Sche- nectady, Syracuse and Buffalo.” The Governor jotted notes on a pad of paper as Weissman talked. “Where would you get $100,000,0007" Rosevelt asked. “From taxes on all $500,” was the response. Welssman continued: “In the next day or so you will meet President Hoo= ver. We want you to advise the Pres- ident to withdraw a request to Gove ernors to discourage the hunger march on Washington.
