Captain Eden discussed disarma-

Neurath and British Ambassador
Sir Eric Phipps for about two
hours.
Afterward Captain Eden asserted
that the day’s conversations were
very useful and that he was most
optimistic over prospects of achiev-
ing an arms agreement.
Will Talk to Rome Again.
The talks, he added, will continue
until Friday, when he plans to go
to Rome for further conversations
with Italian statesmen. His talks
in Paris were said by Berlin news-
papers to have been fruitless, but
now, official quarters indicated,
Captain Eden can claim German
backing in his efforts to bring
Great Britain, Germany, France
and Italy into line on an arms
pact.
In effect the British plan con-
templates giving Germany a meas-
ure of rearmament she demands
while gradually reducing the forces
of heavly armed states in order to
achieve a virtual parity for a ten-
year period at least.
French leaders told Captain
Eden last week that they could no
longer talk of rearmament—only
disarmament. Some months ago

The progress of this legislation
has been slow, however. It was
presented to congress in a discon-
nected and somewhat indefinite
form more than two weeks ago,
and congressional leaders have in-
sisted that the several departments
which presented ideas should com-

He went to the labor committee
for this proposal, offered by Sen- early in its hearing and sat by

nesota, the Farmer-Laborite mem- Har views against Chairman Con-
ber, and twenty-six republicans. |
One Republican Opposes.
One republican, Couzens of
Michigan, voted with thirty-nine
democrats in opposition.
The thirteen democrats who bolt-
ed the administration cause were
Bone, Bulow, Copeland, Costigan,
Dill, George, Long, McCarran,
Neely, Reynolds, Thomas of Okla-
homa, Thomas of Utah and Van
Nuys.
Democratic leaders told newspa-
per men many democrats had said
they had to vote against the ad-
ministration on the question be-
cause of individual pledges in their
campaigns.
Other liberalizing amendments ap
proved was one by Senator Thom-
as, democrat, Oklahoma, to in-
crease the pay of workers in navy
yards so that forty-eight hours’
pay would be given for a forty-
hour week, and one by Senator
O'Mahoney, democrat, Wyoming,
restoring purely administrative pro-
motions to fill vacancies in govern-
ment departments.
Neither of these required a roll
call, Byrnes said he was willing
to let the Thomas amendment go
to conference with the house.
The administration forces had
held out for a one-third restoration
cf the federal pay cut, effective
Feb. 1, and another one-third res-
toration July 1, with authority giv-
en the president to wipe out the
whole 15 per cent slash then if a
study of the cost of living showed
it to be warranted. The McCarron
amendment makes the full resto-
ration mandatory.
Senator Borah, republican, Ida-
ho, wanted members of congress,
the vice president and the speaker
of the house exempted from the
salary increases, but he did not
press the amendment.
Trying to rally the administra-
tion forces after the votes, Senator

the congress would not be serving

dition that its finances will not
lar views against Chairman Con-
nery’s thirty-hour work week bill.
Both he and Swope took the atti-
tude that hour reduction should
come through more flexible opera-
tions of NRA codes.
Before they had finished with
Johnson a call came from the
committeemen to go to the house
floor to vote on the tax bill. They I
asked him to wait and then re-
turned to ply him with interroga-
tions until he was late for a mid-
afternoon appointment downtown.
Sitting at attention, Johnson
told the committee he thought the
NBA a more flexible and intelligent
way of reaching the problem of
workers’ hours because so many
circumstances had to be taken in-
to account.
Can’t Apply Flat Rule.
"My opinion from the nine
months’ experience in watching the
codes go by,” he explained, “is that
you couldn’t apply a flat rule to
industry. Such a law would be ac-
ceptable only if it were made just
as flexible as it is now. You’ve got
to maintain flexibility to prevent
an untoward result that you or
nobody would want to have.
“The complaints that have been
' coming in from the small indus-
tries have been chiefly not of any
monopolistic . tendencies of the
codes but that they could not sub-
sist under the shorter hours given
them. These would be nothing to
what you would get if you passed
a law of this kind."
Asked if the people generally
would think the thirty-hour week
better than the NRA, Johnson re-
plied the industries would turn
backward somersaults at the
thought of a thirty-hour week.
“I think something has got to
be done very promptly to shorten
hours and raise wages," Johnson
said, however, “and it is m3 fits
tention to do more.”
He explained that further short-

The administrator reported some
of the NBA industries had come
from the red and would make
money this year. Then, he explain-
ed, it would be time to call on
them to pass on further benefits
to their workers.
