T A2 dedede RAILROADS AGREE TODELAYPAYE41 Managers and Labor Heads Heed Eastman’s Plea to Aid in Recovery. By the Associated Press. Railroads have heeded a plea of the administration to postpone until June 30, 1934, a proposed new 12!, per cent pay cut for their workers. As a result, organized railrond labor until the middle of next year will con- tinue to work on the present schedule —the old basic wage, less 10 per cent By that time, Government and rail- roads both hope all need for pay cuts will be passed This agreement between managers and labor executives was the first big achievement of Joseph B. East- man since he became co-ordinator of transportation. When he “unofficially stepped in, the situation was this: Rail labor, under an reached last December and operative until next November 1, had been work- ing for wages fixed in January, 1932, Jess 10 per cent. Railroads decided an additional 12'; per cent cut should be Jevied. Unsuccessful conferences be- tween employe and employer were held. The whole thing was a threat to unin- terrupted transportation service. Then Eastman met the railroad man- agers and labor executives. He asked them to delay action until the effect of the administration's recovery program could be seen. His proposal was ac- oepted after two days of conferences Work With Administration. ‘That agreement, Eastman said, was “reached because both the railroads and the employes wish to do nothing which would in any way embarrass or threaten the present policy of the ad- ministration.” “They realize,” he added. Government has now embarked upon a wholly new policy designed to promote business and industrial activity and to further the general welfare.” The concord must yet be ratified by Individual unions belonging to the Rail- way Labor Executives' Association, but that is considered just a formality. Notice had been given by the rail- roads on June 15 of a 22'; per cent wage reduction on November 1. This is canceled by yesterday's agreement, which continues the 10 per cent reduction effective for the last 18 months. Thé agreement, which carries out to the let- ter the request of the administration, followed two days of conferences be- tween Eastman and the Conference Committee of managers of the rail- roads and the Railway Labor Executives’ Association. End Comes Suddenly, The end of the fight came suddenly after the co-ordinator had announced that the situation would be allowed to “simmer for & while.” He spoke at the close of & conference with the upion railroad chiefs which followed & protracted dis- | oussion with the railroad managers. A. F. Whitney, spokesman for labor; ‘W. H. Thiehofl, chairman of the Man- agers' Committee, and Kenneth Bur- f“' attorney for the managers, were urriedly called into conference last night, and the agreement was drawn and signed shortly before 9 o'clock. Eastman made it plain that the view of neither side as to what wages should be had been changed, but differences would be set aside for the period settied upon, The agreement stood as the first effort of Eastman a&s & mediator in railroad problems, and although under- taken unofficially and outside his ca- pacity as co-ordinator, it was considered a victory for the administration in its | fight to keep the industrial situation on an amicable foundation pending the outcome of the business recovery moves. Eastman’s anuouncement follows: “The railroad managers and the rail- | road labor executives have entered into an agreement under which the arrange- | ment by which 10 per cent is being deducted from the pay checks of em- ployes will be extended from October 31, 1933, until June 30, 1934, and under which the date on which either party can submit a notice in accordance with the provisions of the railway labor act indicating a desire to change the basic rates of pay will be extended from June 15, 1933, to February 15, 1934, Pay Cut Plan Canceled. “Under this agreement the railroads will surrender for a period of eight months their right to seek & further reduction in employes’ compensation and the employes will surrender for an equal period of time their opportunity to secure an elimination of the present 10 per cent reduction ““The notice given by the railroads on June 15 of an intention to seek & 221 per cent reduction in the basic rates of pay will be canceled “This agreement has been reached because both the railroads and the em- ployes wish to do nothing which would in any way embarrass or threaten the present policy of the administration “They rea that the Government has now embarked upon & Wholly new policy designed to promote business and industrial activity and to further the general welfare “They appreciate that until the re- sults of this policy can be more clearly determined 1 be difficult to deal wisely with t age controversy and that the actiy osecution of su controversy at the present time might have a most disturbing and unsettling effect “Neither side T its views as to w be, but they have ponement of the deference to what the desire and b tion and in the general p “This agreement has voluntarily in a s and Id hearted a inquishes in any way wages should agree cont CROWLEY, EL'I ATHLETE, WEDS COACH'S DAUGHTER Grid aud Track Star Becomes Son- in-Law of T.

Green added it was the | estimate of his statisticlans that ap. proximately 1,000,000 had been re-em ployed since the general bank holiday. Supported by Review. Green's report was cheerfully Te- ceived by Gen. Johnson's staff. Ob- servers said it would not take a very long time to make a startling change in the unemployment situation. ~The federation’s report was corroborated by a recent statistical review issued by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics and a survey completed by the Commerce Department of all Government and private indices. Green and the National Recovery Ad- ministration concur in opinion that any further progress to cut down the jobless peak must depend cn the checking of the downward spiral of purchasing power and the shortening of the work- ing week. It was pointed out at headquarters of the recovery administration that such was the objective of Gen. John- son in asking industry to submit only simple codes for the time being in order to increase the spread of employment and purchasing power. It was said that increased costs resulting from this movement may impose hardships on manufacturers and jobbers, but it was the only way by which it could succeed The monthly tabulation by the fed- eration from April, 1932, to April of this year were as follows: Month, 193 April May June July ..

Further stimulus for officials of the Tecovery administration came in reports that cotton spinning operations during ' May moved at their fastest pace since October, 1929. The Census Buresu made this announcement as both John- son and Sawyer drove ahead with their programs. As a part of this widespread program, Acting Secretary of the Navy Koosevelt said, the Navy planned to spend $86,- 000,000 on ship construction during the year beginning July 1. Of this, $40.- 000,000 will be for ships already under construction and at least $46,000,000 to start the new 32-ship quota for which the Chief Executive has approved allot- ment of $238,000,000 out of the $3,300,- 000,000 public works fund. The encouraging reports from the spinning mills followed closely an- nouncements of the Labor Department of & sudden and marked upturn in em- ployment in May as compared with April—the largest in years—and & gain in indicated expenditures for private building of 128 per cent during the two months. The statement of the Census Bureau said that during May the domestic miils operated an aggregate of 8,309,664.722 spindle hours, &s contrasted with 9,005,- 849,000 in October, 1929 Operators of these mills have been the first to submit a code of practices to Johnson and apparently will be the first of the Nation's major industries to bring themselves under the national re- covery act with operations limited to 40 hours a week per man and a wage scale of $11 a week in the North and $10 in the South. Johnson, meanwhile, was conferring with representatives of other industries and there were indications that addi- tional codes would be laid before him | shortly so that other hearings might begin soon after the textile hearing starts June 27 In this connection, the administrator took occasion to deny reports that he had rejected or passed informally upon & proposed code for the coal industry. He said he had received no code from that group. although operators had been considering one. Under the direction of Sawyer, & corps of engineers was culling the | thousands of proposed public works | projects, but there was no chance of | any_definite approvals until the return of President Roosevelt. In addition, it was said State deputy administrators of public works would not be named * N SETTING WAGES Protest Against Agreements: | Without Involving Collective | until the Chief Executive had an op- | portunity o study the list of names. It was disclosed that as & part of the far-reaching construction plan to stim- ulate purchasiug power spakesmen from the Western States have proposed ex- | penditure of $150,000,000 to strengthen the reclamation structure. Members of the delegaiion, which is headed by Marshall Dana of the Port- land (Oregon) Journal and chairman of the Western Reclamation Association, said the fundamental necessity was to make avialable more water in existing projects and to loyer production costs.

SISSON CRITICZES WIS DETTWEILER GLASS BANKING A[II‘ PLAYS Deposit Guarantee Provision Finalists in District Women’s | Assailed by Head of Bank- ers’ Association. By the Associated Press HOT SPRINGS, Va., June 22.—The deposit guarantee provision of the Glass-Steagall banking act was assailed by Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York and president of the American Bankers' Association, in an address here today before the fortieth annual convention of the Virginia Bankers' Association. “The guaranty of deposits has been undertaken on a Natlon-wide scale,” he | | | said, “on the theory that it will restore | confidence in banks and reduce the number of failures. Experience shows | that it will not reduce the number of failures and that any confidence it in- spires will amount "to nothing more than & feeling of false security that will run a heavy risk of eventual disfllusion- | ment, with disastrous consequences. “The only kind of confidence worth having is a confidence that is warranted by the soundness of the banks. And soundness is gained not by deposit guarantees, but by competent manage- ment and supervision. he scheme will be successful only to the extent that genuinely better banking makes it un- necessary.

They will play for the title at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning over the Kenwood Country Club course. Mrs. Haynes today won a hard fought semi-final match from Miss Virginia Pope of Kenwood, 1 up, while Miss Dettweller defeated Mrs. Donald Scott of Indien Spring by 3 and 2 in the other semi-final. Mrs. Haynes scored an 85 against 86 for Miss Pope, win- | ning only on the eighteenth green, after association, in his keynote address de- ' scribed the passage of the Glass- Steagall bank bill in the closing hours of Congress as “the greatest revolution in banking since the pasage of the Federal Reserve act, and perhaps in the history of bank legislation " The provision for insurance of bank deposits he described as the “next logical administration in declaring a_bank holiday, which resulted in the Federal Government assuming responsibility for reopening only on a sound basis, thus creating a strong moral obligation to protect deposits in banks thus licensed. “The hysterical denunciation of the measure by bankers generally,” he added, “has not tended to increase our prestige with the public. statute law, and the patriotic duty of every banker is to lend whole-hearted support in its administration.” Mr. S| s opposed deposit guarantee on principle, titude “has been thoroughly by the experience of States where deposit guarantee plans have been tried.” He pointed out that despite the warning of the American Bankers' As- soclation, deposit guarantee laws were enacted in eight States. In six of which the laws have been repealed. In South Justified the Middle Atlantic champion had been 3 up with 4 to go. The courageous Pope girl, who is & student at George Washington University, captured the fifteenth hole with a par 4, halved the sixteenth in 4, and won the seven- teenth with a par 3, to reduce Mrs. Haynes' margin to a single hole as the pair stepped on the eighteenth tee. The final hole was halved in 5. Pinals in the other flights resulted as follows: Miss Susan Hacker, Chevy Chase, defeated Mrs. A. E. Fisher, Beaver Dam, 4 and 3. to win the second flight; Mrs. L. B.

The Interior Depart- ment is the first of the 10 executive de-i partments definitely to announce its plan of operation under the revised estimates. ‘The administration earlier had moved to spread its economy program into two of the largest agencies of the Treasury Department—the Bureaus of Internal Revenue and Industrial Alco- hol—without walting for President | Roosevelt’s reorganization plans affect- | ing these units to go into effect on August 10. Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of Industrial Alcohol, announced that on July 1 his bureau’s personnel would be drastically curtailed to pave the way for its consolidation with the Internal Revenue Bureau under the reorganiza- tion plans. The latter designation will be changed to a division of the depart- ment. Dr. Doran estimated this afternoon that the dismissals would probably in- | clude between 125 and 150 people in | the field force of the bureau and “a few” at headquarters here in Wash- ington. | | | | i | 550 to Lose Jobs. | Also to insure smooth operation when the consolidation takes effect, Internal | Revenue Commissioner Guy T. Helver- | ing sald dismissals of about 550 of his agency's employes would be or- dered, effective at the beginning of the new fiscal year. He sald about 100 employes in Washington would feel the | economy knife. Under the President’s reorganization | order the Industrial Alcohol Bureau | loses its complete identity. By chang- |ing the designation of the Internal | Revenue Bureau to a division, all pres-| ent employes of both organizations are out of jobs when the consolidation takes place, but Helvering is permitted to re- tain in the new division all present employes required for operation under the new plan. But Budget Director Lewis Douglas has decided not to wait for this con- solidation to cut down Government ex- penses. He submitted to Commissioner | Helvering a White House order that the | expenses of the Internal Revenue | Bureau must be cut $2,855,000 in 1934. | To stay within this amount the com- missioner has announced that 116} | revenue agents and more than 100 | deputy collectors would be dropped from | the pay rolls. | | Helvering sald 245 employes in the | income tax unit, 25 in the intelligence | unit and 66, including 40 lawyers, in the general counsel’s office would be let out. In addition, he said, the Special Ad- visory Committee which endeavors to settle tax disputes carried to the United States Board of Tax Appeals so to save further litigation, would be cut from 13 to 7, and the clerks of six outgoing members be dropped. i’ The commissioner pointed out the total cut was small in comparison with the number of employes of the bureau which now totals approximately 12.000 and expressed the belief the organiza- tion would operate even better under the rearrangement than at present. He said the new taxes levied in the industrial control bill would add to the bureau's work, but that he hoped the personnel would put forth greater effort | and collect more taxes than heretofore. ‘The commissioner said a survey was being made to determine what fleld offices would have to be closed on June 30, but added no collection districts would be abolished.

J., June 22.—A bomb | weighing 20 pounds was found today at- tached to the automobile of Representa- tive Charles A. Eaton of the fifth congressional district. The object, the contents of which were analyzed by State police, was dis- covered this morning by Joseph Balent, an employe at Eaton's estate in the Watchung Mountains. Sergt. Augustus Albracht, who took the bomb to Morristown after it was disassembled, said it weighed over 20 nds and was made of dynamite. He said the men who examined it agreed with police that it was the work of an_expert. Three men picked up on suspicion of robbery at Berkeley Heights today and four others taken into custody at Scotch Plains were being questioned in connection with the bomb. The men arrested at Berkeley Heights car- ried revolvers, police sald. ‘The Representative returned to his home after midnight from a speaking engagement at Lake Hopatcong.

TO ASSIST PROBE. Federal Authorities to Join Investiga- tion of Eaton Bomb Case. By the Associated Press. ‘The Federal Government promised tc- day to render any possible assistance to New Jersey authorities in apprehend- ing those who attempted to bomb the | automobile of Representative Eaton of | New Jersey at his Watchung, N. J, home this morning. Charles A. Eaton, jr., son of the Rep- resentative, who is attached to the office of Senator Barbour of New Jersey, called at the department and asked J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Bureau of Investigation, to take a hand. Hoover said he would do what he could. Action was requested on the theory | that the life of a Federal official had been threatened. ‘Word was recelved that powder au- thorities in New Jersey said the con- trivance found in the Eaton car was extremely deadly. If it had exploded, it was seid, it probably would have de- molished the car, the garage and killed any persons in the vicinity. Miss Marie Texier, secretary to Rep- resentative Eaton, said she knew of no threats received by the Representative while in Washington. She recalled, however, that detectives in the House of Representatives Office Building were on the lookout about three weeks ago for a man reported to have been looking for the Representative. The office of another Representative reported to the detectives that a man, acting strangely, had inquired for the office of Representative Eaton. The in- truder was never found. SEARCH IS EXTENDED FOR SPANISH FLYERS Mexican Official Reports Lieut. Collar Killed, but Ambassador Is Unable to Confirm Rumor. By the Associated Press. MEXICO, D. F. June 22.—Civilian and governmental aviators redoubled their search today for two Spanish transatlantic flyers, long overdue on a flight from Havana, after scores of men returned from a fruitless hunt in mountains southeast of here where the Spaniards were reported to have crashed. President Rodriquez’s office received | information indicating the flyers, Capt. | Mariano Barberan and Lieut. Joaquin | Collar, might have been forced south | of their course by storms and had con- | tinued westward through Tabasco State | over the Sierra Mountains | Consequently preparations were made | to extend the hunt into the States of Oaxaca and Guerrero. A department of communications official last night said he had con- firmed reports that the Spanish plane Cuatro Vientos, or Four Winds, had crashed on La Malinche Mountain, that | Lieut Collar had been killed and that | his companion was seriously hurt. | ‘The Spanish Ambassador, Julio Al- varez Del Vayo, declared, however, that the reports of the crash in Tlaxcala State appeared untrue, and that he had made numerous attempts to verify the rumors without success. Heavy jungle covers the area east of | the Sierras and aviotors landing in | that region would have a difficult time. If the Spaniards flew westward from Villa Hermosa, a little more than an hour's flying would have brought them over the place where Clarence McEIlroy, an Indiana pilot, c during a instorm last June and was lost for ral three weeks before being rescued. e — MEYER NAMES MANAGER Eugene MacLean, Former Western | Publisher, Is Given Position.

Against that kind of play Hartley was helpless, especially as his own game collapsed after the turn. He took 23 strokes on the last five holes where orthodox figures are 19. Drives Out of Bounds. Dunlap was nervous at the start, going out of bounds on the first hole, which was halved in 5s. The American won the second when he laid Hartley a stymie.

A Scotch terrier added some merriy ment to the Dunlap-Hartley encounte? as he grabbed Dunlap's ball near the twelfth green and made off, with George, Hartley and the caddies in close pursuit. Scrambling sround through the rough, the dog evaded his pursuers, but finally tifed of the sport and dropped the ball, which Dunlap then dropped as near as possible to its orig- inal position, a move allowed by the rules when the ball is interfered with “by an agency outside the match.” Cyril J.
