UNEMPLOYMENT BIG 1932 ISSUE, WALKERWARNS New York Mayor Advises Parties to Get Minds Off Postmasterships. By United Preax KANSAS CIITY, Dec. 10.—Mayor .lames J. Walker of New York believes the American political parties, 1n their presidential campaign next year, must abandon the old time partisan politics that “bickers over postmasterships’’ and must concentrate on getting unemployed back to work. The urbane “Jimmy,” as characteristically impeccable as ever in his attire, but talking in a serious vein that belied his reputation for levity, discussed the political outlook for 1932 as the train that brought him from California rolled into Kansas City last night. A United Press correspondent, meeting him en route, waited until he had finished his afternoon nap. Then the mayor appeared in the lounge of his private car. He was wearing an ensemble of green—green suit, green socks, green tie and green cuff links. The mayor readily discussed national affairs, but had “nothing to say” about the Scabury investigation in New York, except that some day he would tell his side of the story—make a “summation,” as he put it. • , “Nationally, and in New York,” Mayor Walker said, “the thing for government to worry about is getting men back to work. That is the issue now and will be in 1932. “Political parties and politicians would better cast off their obsolete partisanship, the kind that concerned itself with who was going to get the postmasterships, and devote more time to constructive, humanitarian thought. “To restore employment, we must

You’re afraid to put it in real estate or securities, for instance, although the investment actually may be sound. “For the last ten years every one has been busy cutting his slice of the melon. Now the melon’s all gone. We need anew viewpoint, based on the fundamental needs of the people.” As for individuals who might attain that end, the mayor was naming no candidates.

RAILWAY LABOR LEADERS ARGUE WAGECUT PLEA Parley Nears Decision on Pay Slash to Save Roads $250,000,000 Yearly. By United Press CHICAGO. Dec. 10.—The conference of all railroad labor union heads today approached a decision on the railroad’s request for a voluntary 10 per cent wage cut to enable a $250,000,000 annual pay roll reduction. The executives, representing 1,500,000 workers, expected to determine their attitude today or Friday. Possibility that Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio road, might address a meeting of executives of the twenty-one major unions was presented today. 600,000 Jobless, Estimate Willard, chairman of the rail presidents’ committee which met w’ith union leaders in New’ York last month, was here but refused to comment on the report. Chairman David R. Robertson of the Railway Labor Executives’ Association took the attitude that the wage cut proposal complicated a situation already made bad by unemployment and low pay of a large percentage of the union membership. He pointed out no formal general demand for the cut yet had been made, but that this was only a matter of time. Hs estimated the railroad unempl<%ed at 600,000, and said an additional 400,000 were receiving part time work at inadequate wages. Some Favor Acceptance Though meetings of the union leaders are secret, the opposition of many to the wage reduction has been expressed openly. None would predict the ultimate decision. Several took the view that the

unions might better accept a 10 per cent cut now with a provision that the old wage be restored with better business conditions, than be forced into permanent w r age reduction by arbitration. Others said if the slash was inevitable, better working conditions should be obtained in return.

4 CONGRESSMEN PROMISE AID TO BONUSMEASURE V. of F. W. Quizzes Indiana Lawmakers on Attitude Toward Payment. Support of proposed legislation for immediate cash payment of all adjusted compensation certificates has been pledged by four Indiana congressmen, Arthur G. Gresham, national legislative chairman of Veteran of Foreign Wars, announced today. Thousands of petitions signed by Indiana veterans have been forwarded to Washington, and letters pledging support have been received from Congressmen Glenn Griswold of the Eleventh district; Harry C. Fanfield, Fourth district; William H. Larrabee, Sixth district, and John E. Boehne Jr., First district. Excerpts from the letters follow: Larrabee; “I feel duty bound to support this measure, as I feel the benefit to be derived therefrom will far overshadow all arguments against payment. Canfield: “As you no doubt know,

I was one of the members in 1924 in favor of paying the veterans what was due them, and I was in favor of paying them what was due ’them last year, and should the bill be brought on the floor this session I can assure you it will have my support. Griswold: “I assure you of my sincere support of any * legislation which has as its object their payment, as I believe this is a debt due and owing to veterans, and payable now and not at some future date.” Boehne: “I am now of the opinion that the adjusted compensation certificates should be paid in full, and can assure you of my support on any bill designed to accomplish this end.” Congressman Albert H. Vestal of the Eighth district responded as follows: “I do not know whether any legislation of this kind will be enacted at this session of congress or not, but assure you I will give careful attention to same if introduced.”
