Measure Would Be Offered by Rainey if Committee Fails. Short Holiday Proposed. By the Assoctated Press Speaker Garner today at a press con- | ference said indications were more fa-| vorable for the House to adopt the Democratic repeal proposal Monday. Although the Vice President-elect de- clined to predict adoption of the meas- ure, he said information from Repre- sentative Milligan of Missouri, the as- sistant Democratic whip, showed a swing emong the Democrats for it. Garner said he was “pretty certain we will have a yote Monday.” “The gentlemen who talked about postponing action have about decided that the vote might as well come Mon- | day, because they are going to have to vote on it some time,” the Speaker went on. | 1 120 G.

ROOSEVELT CALLS FARM AID PARLEYS President-Elect Evolves Plans for Dealing With Surplus Control. | | By the Associated Press WARM SPRINGS, Ga., November 30.—President-elect Roosevelt resumed study of his agricultural program today with the questions of rural credits and surplus control before him. Out of | many conferences yesterday also came | en intimation, that the propesal for in- | creasing the Navy to treaty lfmite might | not be pressed at the short session. Following up his discussions with various agricultural .experts, during which he has evolved an idea of the sort of legislation he wants to deal with the troublesome farm ‘problem, Mr. Roosevelt had on his calling list today Representatives Jones of Texas and Steagall cf Alabama. Legislation designed to deal with sur- plus contrcl would come before the House Agriculture Committee, which Jones heads, and Steagall is chairman, of the House Banking Committee.

In another conference, Mr. Roosevelt was urged by Representative Hill of Alabama to foster the early enactment of the Muscle Shoals measure passed by the House in the last session. Hill, author of the measure which provides for Government operation of the power plant at the properties and would make optional the leasing or Federal operation of the nitrate plant, told newspaper men he hoped the prob- lem would be finally disposed of in view of the campaign speeches of Mr., Roosevelt.

BERLIN, November 30.—Der Deutsche, official delly organ of the Christian Trades Unions, representing 500,000 workers, asserted today that on Satur- day President von Hindenburg seriously considered resigning out of disgust over the inability of the Rightist parties to reach an agreement on the controversy for the chancellorship. The resignation of the President is exactly what the monarchists desire the paper declared. “That would be the hour for making effective the plan for setting up a vice regency,” Der Deutsche asserted. Hohenzollerns Disagree. The Hohenzollern family, the news- paper continued, is not agreed about who should be the vice regent. Ac- cording to Der Deutsche's version, the former crown prince would like to be selected in the hope of becoming Em- peror later, but Princess Hermine wife of the Kaiser, recently came from Doorn to say that his imperial father objected. Crown Princess Cecilie reportedly de- sires to have her eldest son, Wilhelm, become vice regent and, later, Emperor.

A.F.L. APPROVES JOBS INSURANCE State System, Paid for by In- dustry, Asked to Relieve Unemployed. | By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, November 30.—Told that “we have warned employers we could wait no longer to restore hope and revive the spirit of the masses,” the American Federation of Labor con- vention today approved plans for State unemployment insurance systems, paid for by industry. The vote came after a full morning of debate and only three delegates voted against the proposal in a show of hands. By its action, the federation is com- mitted to work in each State for a system of unemployment insurance supported wholly by industry, eompul- | ha sory and all-embracing in its benefits :’nd administered by State Commis- jons. Dispute Divides Delegates. Another impassioned speech by Presi- dent William Green did not stem the tide. A few days ago he won unanimous support of proposals for the six-hour day and five-day week, with a declara- tion that labor would use force, if nec- essary, to obtain its end. Today he called unemployment in- surance “this great economic reform,” asserting, “we have warned employers we could wait no longer to restore h and revive the spirit of the masses.” But the dispute went on, with dele- gates divided widely on the proposal. Opponents sald they preferred shorter work weeks to any insurance plan. Charles P. Howard of Indianapolis, a member of the Resolutions Commit- tee that reported favorably on the in- surance plan. declared he would “rather see labor use its economic power to compel industry to provide Jjobs rather than provide insurance.” John P. Frye of Washington, secretary | of the Metal Trades Council, contend- ed, too, that “whether the State, em- loyer or employe pays, the premfum. makes no difference, for * * * 80 per cent of the pecple will pay for unem- ployment insurance wherever it is placed.” Outline of Proposal. ‘The insurance plan follows: 1—Legislation in each State making unemployment insurance compulsory, because “voluntary schemes are un- likely to pervade industry generally”: State rather than Federal legislation proposed because of the restrictions of the Federal Constitution. 2—Levies upon industry alone to provide adequate reserves, pay benefits and pay the cost of administration, be- cause “unemiployment is, to a certain extent, one of the inevitable incidents of production and must, therefore, be regarded as part of the unescapable costs of industry”; assessments of not less than 3 per cent of normal pay rolls are suggested. Urges State Boards. 3. Administration by State Commis- sions, either new cr existing, on which management and labor are given equal Tepresentation. 4. Investment of the insurance plan reserves in Federal securities or those of some States and municipalities. 5. Unemployment insurance benefits to be a legal right due to all making claims, without regard to citizenship, union affiliation, or labor disputes; and due if work is available cnly at lower than prevailing rates or conditions; partiallly unemployed to receive partial benefits. 6. The whole scheme should be so constructed as to induce and stimulate 50 APARTMENTS HAVE CUT RENTS, CAPPER REVEALS |Reductions Totaling $783,542 Thus Far This Year Re- ported at Inquiry. BELIEVES SENATE PROBE HELPED LOWER CHARGES Kansan Says Total for Whole City| Has Decreased at Least $1,500,000. A statement showing a group of 350 buildings in Washington | apartment have made rent reductions amounting to $783,542 thus far this year, was is- sued today by Chairman Capper of the Senate District Committee, as the Rent Investigating Subcommittee pre- pared to resume its work. Pointing out there are 3,500 apart- ment bulldings in the city, Senator Capper explained this is a partial list and that “undoubtedly there have been substantial reductions in the rent of hundreds of other buildings.” Senator Capper estimated the total rent bill of { the people of the District “probably has been reduced during the present year by at least $1,500,000, and possibly by two or three times that amount.” Senator Capper said some of the re- ductions “preceded our investigation, but a very large number were not made until after our inquiry got under way.” Meet Again Tomorrow. The chairman issued his statement shortly before the rent subcommittee convened. The meeting today lasted only a few minutes, adjourning until 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. The only wit- ness heard was Charles J. Rush, secre- tary of the Washington Real Estate| Board, who delivered to the subcom- mittee a suitcase full of the records of the board, which had been asked for by Oscar H. Brinkman, counsel to the subcommittee. Brinkman said he wanted to go over the records in preparation for suc- ceeding meetings of the subcommittee, to be held within the next few days. In the prepared statement he issued this morning, Chairman Capper stated: “It is quite evident from the data that have been compiled for the use of the subcommittee of the Senate District Committee investigating rentals in ‘Washington, that rent scales here have been moving in the right direction— downward. Salaries and other incomes ve been materially commodities were adjusted to levels sometime ago.” May Continue Reduction. “The necessity for balan Federal budget may make it ne to continue the furlough plan of sal- ary reduction,” Senator Capper pointed out, “and it is highly desirable there- fore to make sure that the people who work for the Government, as well as other residents of the District, are not saddled with unreasonable rent ex- pense. We shall not lose interest in this question after making our report to the Senate, but a determined and persistent effort will be made to rem- edy any evil that exists in the housing situation in the District of Columbia.” The committee chairman indicated he hopes to conclude the hearings in time to submit recommendations to the Senate by December 15. “I feel the investigation thus far has pald rich returns to the people of Washington,” the Senator continued. “The total cost of the inquiry will not exceed two-tenths of 1 per cent of the known actual reductions of rental made thus far this year, which we have jtem- ized and listed. It is true that not all the, reductions were due to the subcom- mittee’s activity, but there can be no question that a very substantial propor- tion of the huge reduction total is properly attributable to the inquiry |, directed by the United States Senate and in which Senators Kean, Bl (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.)
