C. OF C. OPPOSES
President Supported Only on
Wage Stand in Work
Relief.
Mr the Associated Press.
Business, as represented by commit
tees of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, yesterday registered
strong opposition to a big batch of
the administration's major legislative
proposals.
The committee reports, made public
by the chamber's board of directors j
at an executive meeting, included at- I
tacks on the work-relief program, a
warning about the pending omnibus :
banking bill, and the suggestion that I
the security program be developed
more slowly.
The President, however, was sup
ported on one major point in the
work-relief bill.
Wage Amendment Opposed.
The chamber's Relief Committee op
posed the McCarran wage amend
ments, but at the same time recom
mended that initiation and execution
of relief projects be left with States
and localities. The administration bill
gives the Government full authority.
The committee resolutions comprise
the most comprehensive statement by
representatives of the Nation’s busi
ness since the White Sulphur Springs
Conference, which was attended by
around 100 major business executives.
That conference originally was de
scribed as the beginning of business
government co-operation, but the con
ference platform, like the statements
yesterday, varied in many particulars
from the President's program.
The Relief Committee proposed a
cut in the $4,880,000,000 fund to $2,
000,000,000. The committee contend
ed the primary consideration in select
ing projects should be their utility
and economic usefulness and that the
emphasis should be shifted from relief.
‘‘Centralization of financing and ad
ministrative responsibility for unem
ployment relief in the form of a
relief-public works program seems to
run counter to the President's state
ment that, ‘the Federal Government
must and shall quit this business of
relief,' ■' said the committee.
Cotton Export Protection.
A special committee on cotton said
that although the situation surround
ing the staple had been helped in the
past, there should be a reduction in
loan values set on cotton in order to
protect cotton exports.
The board of directors itself Issued
the warning on the pending banking
bill. It made no specific criticisms,
but said business and industry “must
insist” on a thorough consideration,
and stressed the necessity of safe
guards to prevent "political domina
tion.” The measure would further
centralize authority over the banking
system.
A committee on security said the
proposed bill does not adequately pro
tect voluntary plans already set up
by business, and advocated that em
ployes pay toward the reserve. The
group warned against excessive piling
up of reserves, and advised that the
States be given more freedom to set
up their own plans.

COPELAND BILL URGED
National Women’s Leader Sup
ports Measure at Hearing.
Passage of the Copeland food and
drug bill was urged at a hearing be
fore the Senate Commerce Committee

first vice president and legislative
chairman of the National League of
Women Voters. She termed the bill

lation in sight for the consumer.”
