He said his recommenda- tions had been unanimously indorsed by rail labor organizations as well as the organized trades’ unions. Agreements Summarized. At the close of the conference last night the points upon which the labor leaders agreed were summarized by Miss Perkins as follows: “In the administration of public lief there should be a labor representa- tive on all State and local relief boards W] receive States, as a means of increasing the number of jobs for adults. i “The seven-day week should be abol- | ished throughout the labor world and the short work week set up through the Black bill or any other means possible. | Coupled with this was the protest | against the unwillingness of employers to allow labor to organize.” Proposal of Boards.

By the Associated Press. The Senate Agriculture Committee went at the administration farm bill ded | ggain today, with every sign indicating that President Roosevelt's views would prevail. ‘The final form of the measure rests with the committee, but after Mr. Roosevelt’s conference with its mem- bers at the White House last night, the general impression was that the admin- istration bill would be reported out substantially as approved by the House. Chairman Smith and others were: hopeful that a bill would be ready for Benmte action by Mondsy. He Nas' proposed a substitute and intends to press for a vote on it. Mr. Roosevelt's proposal for refinanc- hased 'ing farm mortgages is rapidly taking shape and is expected to be sent to Congress Monday, there to be added to the farm relief bill. Entire Situation Discussed. The President called the members of the Agriculture Committee to the White House when, after a week of study, they l“e still unable to agree. The entire Ssituation, \nclud!nf go- vision for the appropriation of 0,~ 000,000 to $100,000,000 to start opera- 2 | tions, was discussed. When it was over, Smith and Sen- ator Robinson of Arkansas, the Demo- cratic leader, said it was likely the National Farmers’ Unions price-fixing ‘Flln would be written into the bill. t also was indicated that all commod- ities now in the measure would remain. Smith told newspaper men the Presi- dent wanted “the earliest possible action on this bill,” and that his guess was that “it might be reported out at least by Monday.” | _“What final action will be taken (in- cluding the commodities to receive the price-raising benefits) seems to be left considerably with the committee, along with the method of determining what taxes should be levied,” Smith said. Vital Changes Doubted. Opponents conceded privately that once out of committee the administra~ tion bill would go through the Senate | without serious change. ‘The administration’s proposed mort- gage financing program will be added on the Senate floor as an amendment to the commodity price lifting bill-on which the committee is working. ‘The form the bill will take on its presentation to the Senate, however, rested with committee members, but Senator Robinson said “the trend of the sentiment on the whole seemed to be to retain the items included by the House.” Elimination of cattle and sheep from the nine basic commodities covered in the original administration bill was dis- cussed, Robinson said, “and no effort was made to reach a binding decision,” indicating they would remain in the measure. Smith Won't Withdraw Bill. Chairman Smith, sponsor of a sub- stitute stripping from Secretary Wal- lace many of the powers given him to deal with the farmers’ troubles, told newspaper men he would not withdraw his measure, but added it probably would be modified considerably if adopted. ‘Ten Democrats besides Robinson took part in the White House confer- ence, along with three Republicans and Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite, of Minne- sota and Secretary Wallace. They were: Kendrick, Wyoming; McGill, Kan- sas; Caraway, Arkansas; _Wheeler, Montana; Murphy, Iowa; Bankhead, Alabama; Bulow, South Dakota; Bone, Washington; Pope, Idaho, and Smith. Republicans: Norbeck, South Dakota; Frazier, North Dakota, and Capper of Kansas. S LUCK VISITS POLICE CELL Lawyer, Broke, and Prisoner With $8 Unite Talents With Results.

CROSBY T0 HEAD AN ANTONID BANK Retiring Commissioner Se- lected as President of Texas Institution. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, retiring Com- missioner of the District of Columbia, has accepted the presidency of the Na- tional Bank of Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio, Tex. He will enter upon his new duties at the end of the present year. Before leaving Washington in July he will devote his time to famil- larizing himself with his future duties, which will mark an even greater inno- vation in his career than when he was translated from an Army officer into a District Commissioner in 1930, The National Bank of Fort Sam Houston is a small institution, which is among the banks licensed to re-open after the recent Nation-wide holiday. | be; It was organized in 1920, has a paid-up uglhl of $100,000, surplus profits of $13,420, and deposits, according to the lal American Bank Directory, of $465,540. The bank is near the great United States Army post in San An- tonio, and a large proportion of its clientele consists of Army folks. Gen. Crosby has never been stationed at that post, but he and Mrs. Crosby have long ;g:dmhed & desire to live on the Texas ler. Not m;:oi;go the bank officials were on the lookout for a new president; and Gen. Crosby’s name was suggested to . A representative of the. bank came to Washington, submitted a groposmon to Gen. Crosby and invited | j im to_come to San Antonio to investi- gate. The general recently went there and decided to accept. Gen. Crosby was named a District Commissioner three years ago last Winter and finally confirmed by the Senate at the end of a prolonged con- troversy as to his ellflbflr:yv both as an active officer of the United States Army and from the standpoint of his “non- residence” in the District of Colum- bia. He was destined to experience a strenuous term of office, especially in connection with the Police Department, which came directly under his jurisdic- tion. During his second year the shake- up occurred, which resulted in the re- tirement of Maj. Pratt as superin- tendent of police. Last year Gen. Crosby and - Superintendent Pelham D. Glass- ford became storm-centers in connec- tion with the Bonus March on Wash- ington. Last month, shortly after the inauguration of President Roosevelt, Gen. Crosby submitted his resignation, to take effect as soon as he could be conveniently relieved. The resignation has not yet been formally accepted. Gen.
