BILL SPONSORED
BY EAGLES IS NO. I
Employment Measure Draft
ed by Ludlow to Be First
Before House.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.
House bill No. 1 in the Seventy
fifth Congress, replacing the soldiers'
bonus measure in that position, seeks
to stabilise employment in industry,
agriculture and commerce. It was
drafted by the Fraternal Order of
Eagles and Is sponsored by Repre
sentative Ludlow, Democrat, of In
diana, who before becoming a mem
ber of Congress was a Washington
correspondent and at one time presi
dent of the National Press Club.
Ludlow, a member of the Indian
apolis Aerie of Eagles, already has se
cured permission from Speaker Bank
head to have his bill given No. 1
ranking, although it will not be in
troduced officially until the House is
organized on January 5. It will be
referred to the House Labor Commit
tee, of which Representative Connery,
Democrat, of Massachusetts is chair
man.
Four past grand worthy presidents
of the Order of Eagles—Frank E.
Herlng of Indiana, Conrad Mann of
Missouri, George Nordlln of Minne
sota and John Morin of Pennsylvania
have been in conference with Ludlow
during the past few days, and ar
rangements have been made to launch
a national canvass to arouse support
for the measure. The full force of
640,000 members of the order and its
auxiliary will be thrown back of the
bill, It was said.
An Eagles’ stabilization of employ*
ment commission was established at
the grand aerie conference in San
Francisco. This conference adopted a
resolution favoring "a Federal indus
trial commission having all powers
necessary to> deal with the economic
problems tliat underlie unemploy
ment in any and all fields of industry,
agriculture and commerce.”
The Eagles’ Commission was di
rected to draft a bill to carry out the
mandate of the grand aerie, and Lud
low was selected to Introduce the bill
and pilot it through Congress. This
bill was No. 2 in the Seventy-fourth
Congress, and now it is to replace the
bonus bill In No. 1 position.
The measure seeks to set up a com
mission. with a corps of expert ad
visers, to act permanently to ward off
depressions and unemployment. The
functions of the commission are thus
described In the bill:
"The commission Is authorized and
directed to make surveys, studies and
investigations of all problems relating
to the stabilization of employment In
Industry, agriculture and commerce
In the United States, with a view to
formulating such plans and recom
mending such legislation as will en
able employes to obtain a saving wage
and Investors a reasonable dividend."

them for years and years. He knows that the famous label stands for everything a good shirt should have.

Here are ties a man would get for himself. He doesn’t merely ask for ties when he
makes his own purchase, he asks for TROJAN TIES. Every pattern and material is in
good taste. Every tie is hand-tailored with a resilient construction. Give him Trojan’s.
Those are the ones for which he has always shown a preference. Hundreds and hun
dreds of patterns and silks from which to make your selection. And, of course, they'll
be boxed free for gift giving.
