HOPES IMPROVE ' FOR ENACTMENT OF JOBLESS AID Senate Decision Not to Adjourn Saturday Helps Chance. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Staff Wrltr WASHINGTON. June 22.—Abandonment by the senate of its intention to adjourn Saturday has greatly increased the possibility that unemployment relief legislation will be enacted before congress quits. An effort Tuesday night on the part of opponents of the $2,000,000,000 relief bill to force night sessions, until the senate should stop in exhaustion, was defeated by a substantial majority. Then the Democratic authors of the bill renounced their personal desire to attend their national convention, and said they felt relief legislation had a better chance of enactment if written deliberately. However, efforts to get the relief bill finished in the senate as soon as possible will continue today in order that the work of reconciling senate and house legislation in conference may get under way quickly. Major Fights Remain Two major fights remain, the first over public works and the second over leans to private corporations. An attempt will be made to increase the public works provision of the bill to $5,500,000,000, and another to take it out entirely. Sometime today an attempt will be made to agree on a time to vote on these issues. According to present plans, Senator Robert F. Wagner <Dem., N. Y.), will restore to his construction loan bill the $300,000,000 emergency hunger relief provisions originally contained in it, but passed separately two weeks ago, in the hops that it could be enacted at once. The bill has remained in the house banking and currency committee ever since, and Speaker Garner, on his return to the house Tuesday after an illness, indicated his unwillingness to have it acted upon separately. Get Grave Warnings Those who fear that President Hoover might veto an unemployment bill containing public works provisions will support the move to recombine the bills, feeling that the President can not refuse to sign a measure containing hunger relief funds, in the face of grave warnings of impending violence. Mayor Cermak of Chicago and Representative Fred Britten (Dem., 111.) told the house committee Tuesday that unless relief is given Chicago by the federal government, federal troops will have to be sent there to preserve order. Determination on the part of both senate and house members to remain in session a sufficient time, after final passage of the relief bill, to pass it again if necessary over a presidential veto was growing today. The economy conference report threatens to provoke considerable debate, and the conferees on five other appropriation bills are still in disagreement. Two appropriation bills have yet to be passed and sent to conference. The home loan bank bill waits action, and Senator Lynn J. Frazier (Rep., N. D.) has issued an ultimatum in behalf of a vote on farm legislation. A vote on Philippine Independence is being sought by Senator Harry B. Hawes (Dem., Mo.).

Winton, First to Build ‘Sale’ Auto, Is Dead

1

Alexander Winton

By United Press CLEVELAND, June 22.—Alexander Winton Sr., 72, the first man to manufacture an automobile for commercial sale, died today following an illness of two weeks. A native of Scotland, Winton established a bicycle company here in 1890, during the heyday of cycling and almost immediately turned his atterttion to experimenting with the “horseless carriage." He began the manufacture of automobiles in 1894, and later boasted that he had completed five machines for sale while Henry Ford, Elwood Haynes, and other experimenters “still were working on their first one.’’ The first person ever to buy an automobile, according to legend, was a Pennsylvania mining engineer, who heard that Winton was manufacturing cars “at a fast rate,” and came here to make the purchase. This transaction was said to have taken place in 1898. Winton retired about four years ago and spent much of his time in Florida.

Brooklyn Ex-Sailor Given First Prize in ‘Believe It or Not’ Contest. By Times Special NEW YORK, June 22.—From among the 1,500,000 amazing but true facts forwarded to him in the national “Believe It or Not” Contest by more than 150 newspapers, which publish his drawings daily throughout the United States and Canada, Robert L.

Blume of Brooklyn. He lost the brush in May, 1918, near the coast of France, when the transport ‘President Lincoln” was sunk by a submarine. A year later, employed as a lifeguard he recovered it in the surf at Manhattan Beach, N. Y. The initials “C. W. B.” clumsily carved with a jacknife, identified it.

MINE OWNERS' CHIEF IGNORES PAY CONCLAVE John Templeton Fails to Attend Meeting at Lewis’ Office. The joint w’age scale conference of coal operators and miners of Indiana and Illinois opened this afternoon in the office of John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, like a threehanded bridge game. The vacant chair at the meeting, or dummy, represented the failure of John Templeton, president of the Indiana operators, to send delegates to the meeting. Lewis, as the meeting opened, refused to comment on the possibility of $4 wage scale for miners of Districts 11 and 12 being the outcome of the meeting. Despite the refusal of Templeton to attend the session, which lifted it from a bi-state meeting to one almost exclusively for District TS in Illinois, Lewis would not postpone the conference. “I have nothing to say about the conference until it is over. I’ll have a statement at its conclusion. I’ll talk about anything else, even the weather. I'm trying to be courteous,” the head of the mine workers said shortly before he called the session to order. The Indiana miners were represented by Abe Vales, president of District 11, and John Suttle, secretary. Illinois miners were headed by John H. Walker, president of the district. Walker refused to discuss the possibility of an agreed wage scale. It is known that the Illinois miners contemplate a revolt from the proposed $4-a-day scale said to be acceptable to the Lewis faction among the Indiana workers. But hope that a scale of $5 a day as a compromise between the old scale of $6.10 and $4 was dropped with failure of Indiana operators to participate in the joint meeting of the two state union organizations. Other members representing the Illinois miners at the meeting are: John Moulin, chairman of the wage

Jenkins, president of the Consolidated Coal Corporation, represented Illinois operators at the meeting. a subcommittee on scales of District 11 has approved the $4 scale. A district meeting has been called by Vales for Thursday to discuss the report. Vales said he would not have called the meeting had he known of the Lewis call for a bi-state parley today.

ARMY RESTORES CALM i’o CHILE AFTER RIOTING Martial Law Declared: Act to Punish Enemies of Republic. BY JOHN VIDAL United Press Staff Correspondent SANTIAGO. Chile. June 22.—The Socialist junta of Chile today designated as an “enemy of the republic” any person who advocates doctrines tending to violently overthrow the constituted government or social institutions. A decree signed by Carlos G. Davila. his two fellow members of the junta, and the ministers of justice and the interior made enemies of the republic liable to imprisonment, deportation and a fine of from 500 to 1.000 pesos. The same penalty was applicable to incitement to robbery, arson, or murder, formation of societies aiming at such offenses, membership in or maintenance of relations with foreign societies preaching such doctrines, incitement to damage or destruction of public works or communications, importation of munitions and fomenting of illegal strikes. The strong meaures adopted by the government, including declaration of martial law throughout the country, restored comparative calm after serious rioting here and at Valparaiso. Crowds in the streets were especially impressed by the presence of tanks, manned with machine-guns, around the presidential palace. Government airplanes flew over the city scattering propaganda leaflets. A Japanese legend has it that music was devised by the gods to lure the sun-goddess from a cave where she had retired.
