A—2 xxy CHOUR STRIKE DELAYS THE STAR Distribution of One Edition Held Up Pending Tem- porary Settlement. A strike of newspaper mail room employes delayed distribution of The Star for about two hours yesterday afternoon while an agreement was being reached between representatives of Mailers’ Local No. 29 of the Interna- tional Typographical Union and the ‘Washington Publishers’ Association for ‘“continuous negotiation” of a clause in a proposed labor contract. The negotiations were assisted by Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Secre- tary of Labor, who volunteered his services as conciliator. The strike, called on The Star, Post, Times and Herald, came suddenly after the Publishers’ Association, Samuel H Kauffmann, secretary, had sent a let- ter to the union stating, in effect, that 8n arbitration clause in the proposed contract—which had already been the subject of lengthy negotiations— would be subject to further negotia- tions. N ~ Presses Shut Down. The Star's Maryland and Virginia edition had been printed and all but about 1,000 copies had been dispatched | when the strike was called in the mail toom The presses, about to begin printing the home edition of The Star, were shut down and no further effort was made to get the papers out pending the outcome of negotiations.

Creation of an employment bureau under the District Unemployment OCompensation Board is proposed in a bill forwarded to the Budget Bureau for consideration, the Commissioners revealed today. The suggestion calls for a revision | of part of the machinery now estab- lished for payment of the unemploy- ment insurance benefits. Payment of the insurance to work- ers who have become unemployed since the system was set up will begin next Janu 1. As the law now is shaped, the benefit payments will be made by the District agency through the United States Employment Serv- | dce. The District Unemployment Insur- ance Board proposes that it be allowed to disperse the benefits itself and to establish an employment service, the purpose of which would be to seek new Jobs especially for those receiving un- employment benefit payments. An appropriation of $75,000 out of Fed- eral funds is asked for the employ- ment service. It is said no preference will be given in the assignment of jobs to the un- employed who have become eligible for the unemployment benefits, but that United States Employment Service | will parcel out what jobs it has gen- erally to the unemployed on its reg- istry. B3 John A. Marshall, director of the District Board, said today that the District’s unemployment insurance | collections as of July 15 amounted to $3,704,000. He said there were from 150,000 to 200,000 workers cdvered by this insurance. There is no way to estimate how many of them have become unemployed since the insur- ance collections started, nor how many may be eligible for benefit payments in January, he said. B. & 0. ADDS SECOND DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE Two-Way Daily Service Between Washington and Chicago Is First of Kind. The first long-distance train in Eastern railroad history to be powered in both directions by Diesel electric- drive locomotives has been put in operation by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad between Washington and Chicago. Two of the huge new locomotives now speed the Capitol Limited on its 773-mile trans-Allegheny run. The two-way daily service went into effect this week after one of the Diesel loco- motives had been making the run every other day for several weeks. The second Diesel had hauled the Royal Blue on its daily round trips between New York and Washington. Two more of the 3,600-horsepower locomstives will be delivered in a few months. .

All was quiet and serene—until he had put the car in the garage, hauled his luggage upstairs and started to prepare for bed. Then a train roared by, almost under his nose. He thought of leaving, then shrugged, decided a train or two couldn’t bother him and besides it Wwas a nice room. Next day, however, he started out in search of a place to sleep.

By the Associated Press. House acceptance of a revamped | sugar-control bill today sent the con- | troverted legislation to the White | House to an uncertain fate. | The measure, which came before | both bodies in a conference report, | was approved by the Senate yester- | ay. It carried a provision restricting re- | fined sugar imports from Hawaii and | Puerto Rico during the first 26 | months of the three-vear bill, de- | signed to replace the expiring sugar production and marketing stabiliza- | tion law. Indication Opposition. Several wecks ago President Roose- | velt indicated he would not accept 8| measure with restrictions on refined shipments from the island possessions on the ground they would be “dis- | criminatory.” Sponsors said they believed that | provision for lifting the restrictions March 1, 1940, would win presiden- tial approval for the measure. The measure was accepted by a | standing vote of 198 to 23, indicating, | sponsors said, that it could be passed in the House over a presidential veto, | Major features of the bill include: Division of the domestic market among various producing areas— United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Philippine Islands, Virgin Islands and other foreign countries. Limitation of refined sugar im- ports. $70,000,000 Annually. A tax of 50.cents a hundred pounds On raw sugar to finance benefit pay- ments to growers who complied with crop control and other regulations. Sponsors estimated the tax would raise $70,000,000 annually, or $20,- 000,000 more than necessary for bene- fit payments. The raw sugar quota system would | expire December 31, 1940, while the refined quotas would expire March 1, 1940, unless Congress voted other- wise in the meantime. URGES CROP COE'ROL Assistant A. A.

A. ad- ministrator, urged crop control and continuation of the soil-conservation program in an address yesterday at the Wilson Tobacco Exposition, He asked farmers to keep the next crop of tobacco in line with the mar- ket needs. He predicted this year's crop would be 100,000,000 pounds more than it should be, but added that the amount would be absorbed. He warned, however, against another big crop next year. JIM FARLEY SPEAKS Mellon Weaker, Unable to Leave New York Home By the Associated Pre SOUTHAMPTO N. Y, August 20.—Andrew W. Mellon, former Secre- tary of the Treasury who has been ill since early Summer, has become too infirm to leave the home of his son-in- law, David E. K. Bruce, a member of the household said today. Mellon’s condition was said to be due to his advancing years. The alum- inum magnate, who held the Treasury post 11 years, the second longest term in the history of that office, was 83 last March. “Mr. Mellon is perfectly comforta- ble,” the informant said. “But he has become too feeble to leave the house. There is no truth in reports he is critically ill."” The multi-millionaire came to the Bruce Summer home. Bonnie Dune, from his Washington residence three months ago. MRS. ELIZA A.

BY J. A. O'LEARY. The Senate today quickly approved | committee amendments to the last deficiency bill to make $600,000 avail- | able to start the new Naval Hospital and $5,000 for a study of the District | tax structure during the recess. It also approved $68,000 of miscel- laneous items for various branches of the District government that were al- ready in the House bill. The entire bill, carrying $138.000.- 000 for all Government agencies, is ex- pected to pass later in the afternoon. Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla- homa, failed in an effort to prevent curtailment of the building program at the Government Printing Office. The committee last night struck out a House item of $1,500,000 to cover con- | tinued work on the new annex to the big print shop. Thomas urged the Senate not only to restore the item, but to increase it to the Budget Bu- reau’s recommendation of $2.798,000, | which would make the ultimate cost | | of the project $8,798,000. He was voted | | down, however, and the committee’s | | action sustained. There will be an- | other opportunity in conference, how- | ever, to restore the $1,500,000. Cancer Institute Fund Voted. ‘The Senate also approved an item of $400,000 for the new National Cancer Institute, established by a recent law sponsored by Senator Bone, Democrat, of Washington. The institute is to be established in Montgomery County, Md. Of the initial appropriation, $200,000 is for purchase of radium. The Senate committee turned down | the budget estimate of $210,000 to buy a site for a District National Guard armory at the end of East Capitol street, but an effort may be made to have it included on the floor. Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri opposed raising the contract authori- zation limit of the Maritime Commis- sion from $75,000,000 to $150,000,000 for new merchant marine ship con- struction, but the increase was ap- proved. In urging the District National Guard Armory appropriation at this time the Budget Bureau stated that recently private development has been started on the site District officials and National Capital planning agene cies have in mind for the armory. The bureau contended, therefore, that it would be wise to acquire the site now even though the District may not be financially able to begin construction of the building in the near future. The hospital appropriation is the frst installment toward development of a $4,850,000 Naval Medical Center to replace the present Naval Hospital at the foot of Twenty-third street northwest. Meanwhile, President Roosevelt said | at his press conference today he has not yet decided on a location for the new hospital, Mr. Roosevelt indi- cated he would inspect two more pro- posed sites before making a final de- cision. Tax Study Authorized. Several years ago Congress au- thorized erection of new buildings®at present location, but Navy Department officials decided it would be advisable to lay out the new hospital at some other location in view of plans for the erection of new Federal office buildings in the vicinity of the present hospital. This view was concurred in by Govern- ment planning agencies, and Congress a few weeks ago increased the origi- nal authorization and broadened the law to provide for a new site. A few days later the budget approved the initial estimate of $600,000 to start the project. % The $5,000 for the local tax survey was authorized in the District's new $9,000,000 revenue law. Recognizing the haste in which some of the new taxes had to be mapped out to meet the city’s current deficit, Congress Yyear only. beletve should be made next year.

Stepper, 60, of 220 South Carolina avenue southeast, retired em- ploye of the District G vernment, died yesterday in Emergency Hospital after & month’s illness. Mr. Stepper, a lifelong resident of this city, had worked for the District | more than 35 years when retired about three years ago. For some time he was a blacksmith, and later a welder. Surviving are a brother, James Stepper; a twin sister, Mrs. Marion Skinner, and four other sisters, Mrs. Agnes Javins, Mrs. Barbara Licarione, Mrs. A. A. Lithgow and Mrs. Elizabeth Lehmann, all of this city. Funeral services will be held at 9 a.m. Monday in St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, following brief services at the residence. - Burial will be in Congres- sional Cemetery. $5000 is to meet the cost of the survey. Important national changes the Senate committee made in the House bill included: Sugar Payments, Addition of $50,000,000 for benefit payments under the new sugar-control measure agreed to by conferees yes- terday. Elimination of sweatshop wage- and-hour conditions and regulation of child labor was sought by ad- ministration in labor standards bill sponsored by Senator Black and late Representative Connery. After joint hearings Senate final- v passed rewritten bill. House Labor Committee voted out similar meas- ure, but House Rules Committee has pigeon-holed measure at in- sistence of Southern bloc. By the Associated Press, Southern Democrats in the House have killed the administration's wage- hour bill for this session by the simple trick of keeping silent. Many of them attended a party caucus last night called to consider forcing the Rules Committee to re- lease the measure for floor debate— but they didn’t answer roll cail As a result, the chairman had ta announce a quorum was not present and that no resolution could be adopted. Meanwhile the country’s two rival Jabor chieftains, John L. Lewis of the C. I. O. and William Green of the A. F. of L, were unanimous in assail- | ing the tactics which seem to have doomed the bill for this session. Lewis declared ‘sabotage of the Democratic party by a small group of its more conservative members” is “de- feating the will of the people of the United States,” adding “we are wit- nessing a major test of our govern- mental system.” Green placed full responsibility on the House Rules Committee. After dis- cussing the matter with President Roosevelt. Green said he told the Presi- dent “it was too late now” for House action unless the Rules Committee modifies its position. “Do you think they are likely to do that today?” Green was asked. He replied, “There's always hope.” The bill was virtually dead even before the Southerners—and a few others—tried their silent treatment. The Rules Committee, usually an ad- ministration adjunct, has blocked its consideration in the House ever since the Senate passed it early this month. House advocates, however, said Dem- ocratic leaders had agreed to head a campaign for early enactmen: of the bill at the next session. Moral Victory Won. “I personally feel that a great moral victory has been won,” said Repre- sentative Healey, Democrat, of Massa- chusetts, one of the self-styled “young liberal” bloc which forced the caucus. Some of that group proposed in- creasing the Rules Committes mem- bership. It now has 10 democrats and 4 Republicans, but at least four or five of the Democrats s.pported | the minority in this instance The Democratic split reflected a similar disagreement which had oc- curred in the Senate.

It was pointed out, how- ever, that this is not an actual appro- priation but merely the amount the commission may make commitments for in the contracts. The appropria- tions would be made gradually from year to year. It does not figure, there- fore, in the total of the bill. In connection with the $50,000,000 sugar appropriation, Senator Adams, Democrat, of Colorado, in charge of the deficiency bill, pointed out this expenditure in benefit payments will be more than balanced by the excise tax on manufacture and importation of sugar, which is expecetd to bring this’ of Mississippi, jumped up. order.

Rankin Shouts, “No Quorum.” Accounts of iast night's closed cau- cus, as reported by members, ran like Chairman Doughton ordered the roll called.

Police reported she told them she and Price were en route from Oxford, Pa., to Washing= ton, and that they had stopped at sev- eral places along the road for beer She has not been apprehended, po- lice said, because she left the eity when former Assistant Corporation Counsel Rice Hooe refused to issue papers charging her with reckl driving, immediately after the acci- dent.
