CROP INSURANCE
Wallace Urges Plan to Bar
Wide Wheat Cost
Fluctuations.
B7 the Associated Press.
Secretary Wallace advised Congress
today that a Federal crop insurance
program would help check wide fluc
tuations in wheat prices, thus benefit
ing consumer as well as producer.
The price shifts, he said, are caused
by alternate shortages and surpluses.
He explained the insurance plan
would withhold large quantities of
wheat from the market In good years
and release them from storage in bad
ones.
The plan, in behalf of which Wal
lace appeared before a Senate Agri
culture Subcommittee, would apply to
wheat in its first effective crop year,
1938. It would be extended to other
crops as producers required it.
Committee Hears Aides.
While the Senate group took up
crop insurance, Chairman Jones
called the House Agriculture Commit
tee together to hear assistants of Wal
lace discuss extension of the soil con
servation act until 1940.
Senator Frazier, Republican, of
North Dakota said the price control
functions of insurance, as described by
Wallace, would help shift farming
“from a gamble to a business basis."
The agriculture Secretary said the
plan “must be developed slowly until
we gain experience."
Wheat is a good starting crop, he ex
plained, because production and other
records are more complete for it than
for other crops.
"I hope we can extend the plan to
cotton, corn and other crops as soon
as we get sound actuarial data on
fluctuations in their production,” Wal-.
lace commented.
Cost of Program.
R. M. Green of the Agriculture De
partment told the committee the pro
gram would require carrying 25,000.000
to 100,000,000 bushels of grain in stor
age from year to year, at an annual
cost of about $5,000,000.
This sum would be paid out of taxes,
instead of insurance premiums.
Local administration, costing about
$2,000,000 a year, would be paid out of
premiums, he continued, after the first
few years’ operation.
He estimated $100,000,000 capital
would enable the insurance corporation
to survive three successive bad crops
at the start of its operations.

of living.” This question remained
for further conferences.
‘‘We are going to demand equal
wages for both men and women with
no discrimination because of sex.”
The union also was understood to be
proposing a guaranteed annual in
come for automobile workers, based
on minimum wage rates and assurance
of a minimum number of hours of
work a year. This, union leaders
have said, would enable the worker
to plan his expenditures and budget
his income.
Homer Martin, union president, has
suggested $2,000 as a proposed annual
minimum.
Map Chrysler Conference.
Officials of U. A. W. A. arranged
today for week-end consultations to
draft the demands they will submit
to the Chrysler Ccrp. in a collective
bargaining conference next week.
The automobile manufacturing com
pany agreed late yesterday to meet
with the U. A. W. A., and Wednesday
was set tentatively for the first ses
sion. The site of the conference, to
be held in Detroit, was not announced.
The union indicated that it hoped
to complete its negotiations with Gen
eral Motors before the Chrysler dis
cussions open.
Three subjects remained before the
representatives of General Motors and
the U. A. W. A.—specific cases of
alleged discrimination against union
workers, the union's demand for a re

duction of the work week from 40 to
30 hours and minimum wages. .
The conferees reached tentative
agreements yesterday on seniority
rights of workers, methods of pay and
speed of production. Details were
withheld inasmuch as the decisions
are subject to revision until the nego
tiations end. Previously they had
agreed upon procedure for dealing
with alleged grievances of the union.
Piece Work N'ot Abolished.
A reliable source indicated that
piece-work systems of pay would not
be abolished entirely, but that the
negotiators agreed that some less
desirable features of the system can be
eliminated by the application of
hourly wage rates. They were said
also to have determined upon a rule
whereby shop committees would con
fer with a plant management on
grievances concerning speed of pro
duction.
The seniority agreement will apply
to departments rather than entire
units of the corporation, except under
special conditions. No other details
were revealed. Seniority based upon
length of service had been requested
by the U. A. W. A.
Union officials have said they would
request Chrysler to recognize the U.
A. W. A. as the sole bargaining agent
of its employes, a majority of whom
it claims belong to the organization.
Martin had described the union’s re
lations with Chrysler as "satisfactory.”
Names Conferees.
Arrangements lor the forthcoming
negotiations were made by Richard T.
Frankensteen, organizational director
of the union, and Herman L. Weckler,
a Chrysler executive. Walter P.
Chrysler, chairman of the board,
designated Weckler, vice president and
general manager of the De Soto divi
sion, and Lester L. Colbert, the cor
poration’s general attorney here, to
represent the firm.
Frankensteen formerly was em
ployed in the corporation's Dodge di
vision. Besides Dodge and De Soto,
the other divisoins of the corporation
are Chrysler and Plymouth. More
than 60.000 of its 77,000 employes are
in the Detroit plants and offices.
The remainder are in branches lo
cated at Evansville and Newcastle,
Ind.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Marysville,
Mich.; Dayton, Ohio; Helena, Ark.:
Pekin Wood, 111., and Windsor On
tario.
New Strikes Appear.
Meanwhile several new strikes ap
peared in Detroit today as settlements
were announced in other labor dis
putes over wages and working con
ditions.
A strike at the Ferry-Morse Seed
Co., which was held by 300 women
and 20 men yesterday, was settled
when company officials and Ameri
can Federation of Labor representa
tives signed an agreement said to call
for a 10 to 15 cent an hour wage in
crease for women, 20 to 25 cents more
for men and a 40-hour week.
The daily delivery of 150,000 pounds
of dressed meat from Swift & Co.
meat-packing plants here was halted
last nigh i when about 11 drivers struck
and demanded an increase of $8 a
week over the $27 they said they were
being paid.
Mitchell & Smith, Inc.—Several
hundred employes who make cork
gaskets for automobiles and refriger
ator lining, demand minimum hourly
wages of 75 cents for men and 65 for
women.
Bon Dee Golf Ball Co.—Six of twen
ty employes asking 20-cent-an-hour
wage boost.
Detroit Delivery Service—About 25
young men want 40 cents an hour, re
porting they are paid 32 cents.
Settlements were reported in the
Arvery Corp. and Palace Model Laun
dry. Arvery Co. officials said a mini
mum wage of 75 cents an hour for men
and 65 for women was established.
Machines hummed again today in
the plant of Fry Products, Inc., auto
mobile seat cover makers.
Walter L. Fry, president, who aban
doned his role of No. 1 “boss sit-down
er” only after the last striker had
left the plant Tuesday, found mes
sages of congratulations still pour
ing in. t
He said 90 per cent of the messages
expressed moral support of his stand
that “the workers can’t get along with
out the management any more than
the management can get along with
out the workers."
. Picket Line Divided.
At Groton, Conn., State police
forced strikers at the Electric Boat Co.
submarine plant to divide their picket
line today into two sections. Union
leaders protested and a wordy argu
ment ensued.
Under the order, which was put
in force as the day-shift workers en
tered the shipyard, the sidewalk must
be kept clear for a space of approxi
mately 100 feet in front of the en
trance.
Harry L. Bowman, president of the
union’s local, argued heatedly with
State Police Sergt. Roy B. Pettingill
and when the officer refused to re
peal the ruling, said he would carry
the protest to Anthony Sunderland,
State police commissioner.
Besides the 200 or more pickets now
patrolling in front of the shipyards,
a few marchers posted themselves at
a side gate, several hundred yards
away, where union officials charged
workers had been ’’sneaking in."
P. P. Robinson, Electric Boat Co.
works manager, said "There was no
question but that more men reported
to work today than yesterday,” when
he estimated 1,700 of the nearly 2.000
employes were on their jobs.
Strike leaders denied this, however,
asserting that between 200 and 300
worked yesterday and that "certainly
no more went in today ”
Company officials and union repre
sentatives remained firm in their re
fusal to talk peace.
. t Portsmouth, Ohio, day workers
reporting at the Vulcan Corp, plant
found the night crew sitting down at
their posts today. Col. A. L. Mercer,
company president, said he had not
been advised that a strike was In
progress.
Members of the day crew said they
had not been advised of the situation.
No representatives of the employes
inside the plant, where about 500 per
sons are employed manufacturing shoe
lathes and wooden heels, could be
reached.
Mercer estimated about 200 persons
were in the plant. He said no de
mands had been received.
The company operates plants at
Effingham, 111.; Antigo, Wis., and
Johnson City, N. Y.
Sit-Down Strike Spreads.
The sit-down strike of aviation
workers spread today from the Doug
las plant at Santa Monica, Calif., to
the factory of Northrup Corp., a Doug
las subsidiary employing 1,000 men.
The plant was closed as . picket lines
formed around the place. Later the
picket lines disappeared.
Douglas officials, announcing the de
velopment, could give no estimate of
the number of men who struck.
The situation at the Douglas fac
tory, where the strike entered its third
day, approached a climax.
The strikers invaded new territory
in the building, going into the "loft'’
where some offices, including the
drafting sections, are located.
They also entered the room of a
Government radio station and barri
caded themselves in it.
The strikers moved toward the en
ginering department where 200 men
were stUl working. Plant officials dis
patched guards immediately to the
engineering section.
The strikers beat on the locked doors
of the engineering department.
A heavy rain operated to disperse
picket lines outside the plant. For a
time this morning the pickets were on
active duty.
Indictments Prepared.
Meanwhile District Attorney Buron
Pitts in Los Angeles prepared indict
ments against 60 men in connection
with the Douglas strike.
The indictments charged a felony,
violating that section of the penal
code prohibiting "forcible entry and
occupancy of” any property.
“The principle of collective bargain
ing is not involved in the present ac
tion, but the principle of whether or
not a citizen is to be dispossessed of
his own property by striking or resign
ing employes is involved,” said Pitts.
“Likewise, the protection of millions
of dollars’ worth of Government prop
erty is involved. This office serves no

STALE POLICE LAW
MAY BEREPEALED
Maryland Assembly’s Probe
Leads to Talk of Entirely
New Set-up.
Br the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, February 25.—The
advisability of getting off to a new
start by repealing the law creating the
Maryland State Police Department
and passing a measure to found a new
police set-up was discussed here last
night as an aftermath of charges made
by Maj. Enoch B. Garey, deposed po
lice superintendent.
From reliable sources In both Sen
ate and House it was learned that a
group of members believed this action
would remedy conditions which caused
the Senate to order a committee In
vestigation of the department. The
Legislature, by repealing the State po
lice law enacted at the 1935 session,
would automatically wipe the slate
clean of all officers and members of the
force.
Passage of a new bill organizing a
force under a new set-up would allow
the appointment of new personnel. It
was also pointed out in some quarters
that it would be possible to create a
new force which would not be con
trolled by the Governor.
10 Are Summoned.
The Senate Investigating Committee
summoned 10 witnesses, including Del
egate Charles S. Houck of Frederick,
former State commander of the Amer
ican Legion, to appear at a hearing to
be held at 7 30 tonight.
Senator John D. C. Duncan of
Baltimore County, chairman of the
Senate committee, announced that
the group probably would question
Gov. Nice at the Governor’s office
some time next week. The Governor
has signified his willingness to be in
terrogated in the presence of news
paper men.
It was reliably reported that pres
sure was being exerted to end the po
lice investigation. Sources report
ing the pressure would not specify
as to where it originated.
Went to CrUfleld.
Delegate Houck, in his capacity as
State commander of the Legion, went
to Crisfield and Tangier Island with
a Legion relief group, when Maj.
Garey was in the section. He said
the Legionnaires were not called be
fore the committee which investigated
Hunter's death and the Garey relief
expedition.
Others summoned to appear before
the Senate investigating committee
tonight are Capt. Edward McK. John
son, Dr. Howard Bubert, police phy
sician; Sergt. Maj. George Carlson,
Lieut. Ruxton Ridgely, Detective
Sergt. Baker. Sergts. Linhart and
Dryden, Lieut. Andrew Conner and
George A. Domin. vice president of
the Grand Jurors’ Association of Bal
timore.
Senator Duncan declared there were
no foundations for reports that any
person, including Mrs. Marie Bauem
schmidt of Baltimore, had brought
about the investigation. He said he
had heard testimony at budget hear
ings of the Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Committee and was
convinced that the "State police just
hadn't been working at all.” He
then introduced his resolution call
ing for the inquiry.
mand will be employed to prevent the
dispossession of the rightful owners of
property through the so-called "sit
down'’ strike method.
“Las Angeles County Is still func
tioning under constitutional Govern
ment. We will keep It so.”
Efforts at arbitrating were sought
by Federal and county officials, but
Donald Douglas, company president,
said he would enter no negotiations
while strikers remain in the plant.
Sit-down strikers continued to hold
the Fansteel Metallurgical Co. plants
in North Chicago, 111., but at Decatur,
HI., 47 sit-downers submitted to arrest
on contempt of court writs issued after
they refused to evacuate the Century
Wallpaper plant. Court hearings were
ordered for March 16.
A third Illinois strike—at the,
Illinois Case Watch Co., in Elgin—
threw 900 employes out of work. Lead
ers of the 600 striking employes s&id
they were participating In a "legal
picket strike.”
CROWELL STRIKE ENDS.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, February 25
{&).—The rumble of large presses was
heard anew at the Crowell Publishing
Co. today after a union recognition
agreement paved the way for a return
to work (at 6 a.m.) of 944 press room
employes.
The peace agreement, reached late
yeesterday, provided that the Spring
field Printing Pressmen's and Assist
ants’ Union be recognized as sole bar
gaining agent for press room employes.

was the amendment repealing prohibi
tion.
In addition to limiting the due
process clause, and dropping some
parts of the fourteenth amendment
which he said were obsolete. Borah’s
proposal would rewrite into the Con
stitution the protections of religious
freedom and freedom of speech of the
first amendment, to prevent States
from curtailing them.
In the general controversy over the
President's court proposal, Representa
tive Wilcox, Democrat, of Florida
called it “the most unfortunate polit
ical event of this generation.”
President Calls Conferences,
drive for support of his proposal mean
while by calling other series of con
ferences with congressional and de
partmental leaders.
The conferences were announced by
the White House a short while after |
usually well-informed persons said the i
President was considering using his
Supreme Court proposal as a weapon
to force action on a constitutional
amendment.
Nine members of the House, in
cluding eight Democrats and one
Parmer-Laborite, were invited to the
Executive Mansion for a mid-after
noon discussion.
Lunches With Reed.
Before this meeting, the President
arranged to have lunch with Solicitor
General Stanley Reed, who helped
draft the court reorganization plan,
and Robert Jackson, Assistant Attor
ney General, who is assisting in
studies on wage and hour legislation.
Senator Hughes, Democrat, of Dela
ware and Lundeen, Parmer-Labor, of
Minnesota also were on today's White
House engagement list. After his
meeting with Mr. Roosevelt, Hughes
said they had discussed the court.
"I have not made any announcement
and I will not until after hearings
have been held.” he told reporters.
‘‘Generally I am pretty open minded
about a thing like that. I am not
worrying about what I hear about
the alarming part of it.
■'Of course. I am inclined to go
along with the President as a rule
because I am very much interested
in his program.”
House Members at Talks.
The House members Invited to the
afternoon conference included Rep
resentative Teigan, Farm-Labor, of
Minnesota and the following Demo
crats: Lewis of Maryland, Martin of
Colorado, Hill of Washington, Ramsay
of West Virginia. Voorhis and Ford of
California, Hancock of North Caro
lina and Maverick of Texas.
The President was reported reliably
to have discussed in earlier congres
sional conferences the possibility of
enacting his court bill with a clause
making its operation conditional on
failure to amend the Constitution
within a given time.
Senators who have talked with the
President recently said he had no
specific constitutional amendment in
mind. He was described as preferring
one to limit the court's jurisdiction
rathen than one to extend Federal
power over industry and agriculture.
It was said, however, he had reached
no decision on combining the bill with
an amendment and was unlikely to
do so for some time. He is expected
to await developments before making
any new moves.
Sufficient Votes Doubted.
Senate leaders were understood to
have advised Mr. Roosevelt it was
doubtful whether they could get suffi
cient votes to approve any of the con
stitutional amendments so far pro
posed.
Word that the Chief Executive had
discussed the alternate proposal was
the first intimation he might agree
to make any change In his recom
mendation to increase the Supreme
Court unless older justices retire.
Heretofore, those who talked with
him said he was determined to push
through his reorganization plan with
out substantial change because he be
lieved It was the only way the ob
jectives of his administration could
be realized within a reasonable time.
Under the alternate proposal he
still would have assurance of a court
reorganization unless a constitutional
amendment was adopted. An amend
ment would be submitted to the people
at the same time the reorganization
bill was enacted, or earlier.
The court bill then would carry
a provision delaying its effective date
until some time next year, with a
clause that it would not go into effect
even then, if the constitutional amend
ment, meanwhile, had been ratified.
Hope for Parley Agreement.
Among some of Mr, Roosevelt's ad
visors there was hope that the Na
tional Conference on Constitutional
Amendment, called for March 18,
i might bring some agreement, at least
! among the liberal group, on the form
; an amendment should take.
The Conference Committee an
nounced today a three-day program
with a list of noted speakers. They
said the meeting was sponsored by 92
leaders of labor, education. Govern
ment, law, journalism, religion and
agriculture.
Senator Norris, Independent, of
j Nebraska will be the permanent chair
! man and Mayor F. H. La Guardia
of New York will be temporary chair
man.
Other speakers will include Dr.
j Charles Beard, the historian: William
| Green, president of the American
I Federation of Labor; M. W. Thatcher,
! head of the Farmers' National Grain
| Corp.; John L. Lewis, president of the
I United Mine Workers and chairman
! of the C. I. O.. and Govs. Frank
j Murphy of Michigan and Elmer Ben
j son of Minnesota.
Passage in the meanwhile of the
voluntary retirement bill for Supreme
Court justices over 70, said Senator
McCarran, Democrat. of Nevada
! "would vitally affect and clarify the
j whole situation.”

Senators McNary, Republican, of Ore
gon and King, Democrat, of Utah
blocked consideration yesterday.
Senator Holt, Democrat, of West
Virginia, youngest member of that
body, declared in a radio address last i
night the President's reorganization
proposals was not “the American
way.”
“Packing the court will never solve
the Issue,” he said. “True liberals
want an honest court. A man who
will go to the court with a promise
to support any legislation is unfit to
be on the bench.”
I
The proposal, he asserted, gives no
assurance to workers and farmers that
the reorganized court would approve
a definite legislative program, because
“those appointed may turn on the
Executive and refuse to follow his
ideas.’’
Chairman Sumners said today the
House Judiciary Committee had de
cided to delay consideration of the
President's court program until after
the Senate had acted.
“The Senate has already determined
upon hearings and has fixed the date
for starting them,” he said. “There
is no reason why the House should
be having a hearing at the same time,
thus duplicating the expense and con
fusing witnesses.-’
