RESPONSE JS GRATIFYINQ Railroads Add 25,000 Men to Pay' tolls and Public Utilities Pre pare to Give Work to Idle. WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 12. Dis cusslons of tna country's economic problems by the national conference on unemployment drew toward a close today with the approval of the reports on remedial measures of the commit tee on shipping and construction. Secretary Hoover, chairman of the conference, announced that the con ference would end Us present ac tivities tomorrow with reception of re ports from Its remaining: sub-committees and suggestions for continuing Its usefulness from the organization committee. Gratifying: response has been re ceived, he said, to the appeal by Pres ident Harding and the conference for making: effective Its recommendation for the relief of the unemployment emergency. The railroads, he declared, have added about 25.000 men to their rolls and public utilities in many sec tions of the country are preparing: to Increase employment. A paragraph of the construction committee's report, which asserted that the interstate commerce commis sion took away from the construction Industry the use of open top cars without full hearing-, was stricken from the text at the suggestion of Mr. Hoover after objection had been made by Edgar E. Clark, former chairman of the commission. Criticism Declared Improper. Mr. Clark declared the commission had no idea of preferring one indus try over another, but had acted under Its. emergency powers last winter in order to give priority to coal ship ments in response to public appeal. C. P. Neal, former commissioner of labor statistics, declared the con ference should not give Its approval to criticism of a government agency. A suggestion In the report that "jurisdictional controversies" should be abandoned, was described by amuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, as a "pious wish." but impractical. He de clared Jurisdictional claims arose from the changing use of materials In industry. Readjustment Is Advocated. John Donlln, president of the build lug trade department of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, disagreed with Mr. Gompers, declaring Jurisdic tional claims to be one of the great est injuries to labor and the public welfare. At the suggestion of Mr. Hoover, the recommendation was re tained with the addition of the phrase "if construction Is stopped." , Readjustment of financing meth ods, material costs and labor costs in the construction and building indus try was advocated by the construc tion committee, which suggested the appointment of a representative com mittee by Secretary Hoover to aid permanently in construction development-Split Time Held Desirable. Suggestions for emergency and per manent measures were reported by the shipping committee. As emergency measures the committee urged Ameri can ship owners to give preference to American seamen, the abolition of overtime work in stevedoring, de clared split time was desirable and suggested the breaking up of the shipping board's wooden ships as a means of providing work, as well as the overhauling of ships tied up and the use of Idle shipyards in other lines of Industry. As permanent measures, the com mittee proposed prompt "enforcement or amendment of the Jones act to re move the present uncertainty," thff- earliest possible retirement of the fed eral government from the operation of the ships; a single marine law ad ministered by one federal depart ment; faithful enforcement 'of the coastwise law and the exclusive car riage of federal controlled products by American ships. BKITISII PLAN EMIGRATION Government Grants to Assist Unem ployed Considered. LVnX)N. Oct. 12. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Emigration and over seas settlement within the empire are said to be one of the proposals being considered by the government for the relief of unemployment. This probably would involve government grants to asajst the emigrants, It was said in authoritative quarters today. Consultation with the Dominion governments, however, would be nec essary before it could be known how the plan would work out, it was ex plained. Another suggestion was for a new system of employment insurance un der which a fund would be provided by equal contribution, eay 2 pence weekly from employers, employes and the state. The Prince of Wales, speaking: at a meeting In the Mansion House here this afternoon to further the project of a British Empir exhibition in 1923, urged that In order to pro vide employment for the needy, work on the exhibition be begun immedl- Growing Boys .and Girls should have all handi caps removed which would hinder their prog ress in school and in after life.

Passage of the permanent tariff bill by next February l is the hope of Chairman Penrose of the senate finance committee, and Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee. Senator Penrose said to day he had conferred with Mr. Fordney and they had agreed to ex tension of the emergency tariff law until that date. Notices that hearings of the tariff bill will be resumed November 1, were sent out today to agricultural interests. The livestock schedule will be taken up first, Mr. Penrose said. ' Appeal Made for Passage. The tariff also got Into senate dis cussions, Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, warning that "ten bold demo crats and ten bold republicans" were determined that "the minions of Wall street should no longer dominate In the framing of tariff legislation: that protection would te given the farm ers." v "If It Is not.- he said, "there will be no tariff bill." Referring to unemployment, Mr. Ashurst said the nation was "on a volcano that may erupt at any time," and he pleaded that the two political parties lay aside partisanship and get to work. "I appeal to my republican col leagues' he said, "to stay in session, hold night sessions, pass the tax bill and also the tariff bill If it is going to aid the farmers." Benefits Are Doubted. Declaring cheap labor in Africa and the far east was being employed in large numbers to produce cotton, he said the time would come when the south would take the lead-in de manding a protective tariff on cot ton. Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Ne braska, said he regretted an appeal for the protective tariff had come from Senator Ashurst and declared the farmers had had enough experi ence -with the emergency tariff law to know that protection would aid them very little. The prices of practi cally all commodities named in the bill, he added, had gone down steadily since the - emergency law went into effect. ' Salem Elects Truant Officer. SALEM Or.. Oct, IS.
