We expect 1,000 Republican leaders and workers to be present. It will start at 6:30 o'clock. “Mr. Hamilton's broadcast.” There are 11 Republican State Senators.

MERITPLAN GALLED “GESTURE” Roosevelt “Yardstick” for Hiring Future Employes Hit by Republicans. By t} e Associated Press. A suggestion by President Roose- velt thata merit system “yardstick” be used on future employes of the Home Owners Loan Corporation was fol- lowed by a Republican charge last night that it was “a meaningless gesture.” In a prepared statement, the Re- publican Congressional Committee said the President’s letters to Henry B. Mitchell, president of the Civil Service Commission, and John H. Fahey, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, “constitute merely another meaningless gesture toward the merit system of civil service em- ployment.” The President’s suggestion, which both Mitchell and Fahey said they would accept, would not affect 16,078 present employes of the H. O. L. C., the Bank Board, and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp., but any new employes would be drawn from civil service. “Inasmuch as the H. O. L. C. is dismissing employes rather than tak- ing them on,” the Republican state- becomes quite apparent.” The Civil Service Commission said it would arrange conferences “within SATURDAY, SE PTEMBER 5, 1936.

By the Associated Press. | _ MYERSDALE, Md. September 5.— Representative David J. Lewis, Demo= crat, of Cumberland, said last night that upon the Nation’s industrial order rests the responsibility, of “so administering the employment asset that any man willing and competent to work may secure a just share of the employment available.” “The world does not owe a man a living, but it does owe him a chance to make a living,” Lewis said in an address at the Myersdale home- coming celebration. Lewis said that the relief work done by the Government might “have been done better,” but it was seldom that things were perfect the first time they were undertaken. Relief costs in the United States, he said, were “far below” those in Germany and Great Britain. “I find that during a 3-year perioi | of comparison, in terms of population, | England expended $10.815,300,000; Germany expended $15,968,580,000, as compared with an expenditure of $6,605356,775 in the United States, including city, county, State and Fed= eral contributions, for these great | purposes of public relief,” Lewis said, dise.” F.

Funeral services for Mrs. Ella Malin- da Richards: Anna, 9, her daughter, and Mary Sine, 19 her foster daughter, were to be held at Popular Springs, with burial in the Richards family plot at Mountain Falls, near Winchester, Va. The two older women were killed | in an attempt to rescue Anna, who had fallen into an ensilage pit. The Agriculture Department is analyzing the gas as a step toward preventing further deaths from the same cause. Dr. D. J.

It was a Sat- urday—a holiday in Zlim. The sales force had its weekly conference. I was shown to a seat next to a young sales- man in shirt sleeves. He shook my hand and went on addressing the ing crowd. I thought it was the sales manager. What was said I don't know, because it was all Czechoslovak to me. But they seemed to have a fierce argument over something or other, and the sales manager got a lot of lip from his subordinates. When the *confer- ence” was over, the young man started showing me all kind of shoes which were manufactured for 80 cents and had to pay duty in some foreign coun- try as much as $3.50 a pair. I politely sympathized with him. Then we walked out and he opened the door of his automobile and said he wanted to show me the houses of the work- men. I said meekly that I would have liked to meet Mr. Bata, if he was not too busy. Interested In Fellow Man. “But I am Bata,” he replied. I ad- mitted that I had been fooled.

Uses Less Than $25,000 Yearly. Bata's income could be very large, but he is spending on himself and his family less than $25,000 a year. His personal residence, where he, his | wife and his four children live, is just | a modest, decently furnished house as a well-paid foreman might have in America. He said: “When I de- cided to build myself a home, the They wanted to make me a palace. It would have cost at least 400,000 kronen (about $20,000). and told them to spend only 150,000. I was able to use the balance in my factories. Of course, the hospital which is the best equipped in Europe, cost me over 5,000,000 kronen ($250,- But that was legitimate extravagance. men are better taken care of when they are ill than any other workmen in the world.” Of course, Bata has no labor trou- ble. The representative of the trade uinion visits the factory several times a year, just to justify his existence. “There can be no labor troubles,” Bata sald, “in a concern where the office any time he wishes. There is in and when I happen to be engaged forming them that I cannot see them at that moment.

The 1st of May is an important labor day in Czechoslovakia. Com- munist agitators take advantage to | denounce capitalism and the greed of | the employers. Bata does not like | agitators, but did not want to pre- vent them from coming within the | precincts of his factories. And since he considers himself a workman, too | —only he does not have the five-day week and eight-hour day—he issues | tions to all his employes asking them to celebrate the day with him. The first time only 90 per cent of the men answered his invitation. Now the at- | tendance is 100 per cent. “Money means nothing,” the Czechoslovakia Ford. “Work is everything. Money is useful to create work. I do not have to worry about shareholders and dividends. I own every bit of stock in my company and am using the profits which are quite substantial, I believe, to create more work. When I figure that because of the international trade restrictions I can sell only so many shoes, I branch off into something else. My late brother and I have made out of this town of 1,800 inhabitants a town with 35,000 souls. Before my time is up and my boy is of age to take over my work I hope to have 100,000 muxgy and contended people in This is the reason why every man in Czechoslovakia wants the foreign- ers to see Zlim and know Bata.

PRESCOTT, Ariz, September 5—Edward McGinley, who claimed to be 108 years old and attributed his longevity to his daily “nip” of hard liquor, took his daily walk yesterday, then announced: “Well, I'm going.” A few minutes later he was dead. “I've got to keep the ole wagon oiled up,” he said on his last birthday, taking his usual “nip.” “I'm good for 50 years yet.” He danced a jig when his birthday cake was cut.

President carried his Panama hat in his hand, waving it at the crowds which lined the sidewalks along his route. Torn ticker tape and paper fluttered down from the buildings along Washington street as his car passed. From the White House tomorrow night the President will broadcast a summation of his impressions on a trip that will have embraced conferences | with Governors of 17 States. He also | will make an announcement then on the status of re-employment by private | industry and possibly means to stimue late transfer of labor from relief Talks of “Integrated Economy.’ In two extemporaneous addresses |in Springfield, I, yesterday, the President spoke of “integrated econ- omy” and declared the credit of the United States was on a “sounder | basis” than ever before in history. Facing a crowd on the lawn of Gov. Henry Hormer's executive mane sion, the Chief Executive asserted droughts could not be prevented, but | farm economy could be so adjusted as to conserve water and improve | the soil so future rainless periods would result in less suffering. Declaring this calls for “planning” to raise farm purchasing power, he said: | “In the same way, if the people in | the cities can be kept busy with | plenty of work at better wages—not good wages but better wages—it means that they will have more money to buy beef and pork and lots | of other things.” | After a pause for applause, he cone tinued: | “So you see that we have what has been called integrated economy—an | economy that ties in every part of the Nation. It ties in the East with the Middle West and the Middle | West with the Far West. It ties in | the North with the South because, | for example, if the Southern cotton | farmer gets & good crop and gets & decent price for his crop he will be able to buy a whele lot of things that | are manufactured in the State of Il | linois. Nationalistic Trend Noted. “The country is becoming conscious of this. The country is becoming nae | tionalistic in the best sense of the word and not in the exclusive sense of the word. “We don't want to build a wall around ourselves and have no trade | with any other nation in the world. | What we are getting is a national | point of view in that we are appreci« ‘ltmg in each section the problems of all the other sections.” Earlier, before visiting the tomb and home of Abraham Lincoln, the President spoke to a crowd from his private car. He mentioned a tele- phone conversation he had just had with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau in Washington. “I have just been talking with the Secretary of the Treasury about Fed- eral financing,” he said. “I might add that the obligations of the Government of the United States are on a sounder basis of credit than ever before in all history.” The President left Springfield at | midnight after a luncheon at the Ex- ecutive Mansion, a drought conference | with Gov.
