WAGNER RELIEF MEASURE PASSED IN SENATE, SENT TO HOUSE FOR APPROVAL Hoover to Get Bill in Short Time if Democratic Leadership Gives Indorsement; La Follette Plan Loses. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Enactment of relief legislation depended today upon the house. The senate and President Herbert Hoover are both on record for it. The Wagner relief bill, approved by the senate, 53 to 16, late Monday, will be referred to the house banking and currency committee for study.

If tho Democratic leadership > favors it, it can be passed quickly and sent to President Herbert Hoover for signature well in advance of the last rmnule rush of business on March 4. Speaker John N. Garner has not expressed his attitude toward the bill nor said whether he will attempt to have it modified along the j lines he advocated last summer. j However, the strength of the Dem- , ocratic support given the measure ■ in the senate indicates enactment V.ill be expedited. Reject Direct Aid Plan , • The senate rejected the La Fol- j lette-Costigan plan for direct relief, administerered by a board appointed solely for that purpose, by j n vote of 44 to 28 Monday. Senators Edward P. Costigan <Dem.. Colon, and Robert La Fol- j lette <Rep.. Wis.), both argued that continuation of the present loan, plan administered b.v the R. F. C. “from the point of view of bankers j rather than humanity,’’ means con- | tinuation of relief on a starvation j standard. Few senators listened to their appeals, and the questions of those j who remained were wide of the point under discussion. After adoption of the Wagner; substitute, under which another! $310,000,000 may be loaned to states; and construction loan provisions are! liberalized, the senate approved it f>3 to 16. Discuss Transient Problem The Wagner bit provides $15,000.- I 000 to Ik- given states for assistance to transients, either individually or j in camps. A proposal by Senator j L. J. Dickinson ißcp.. Iowa), to eliminate this portion of the bill was defeated as was a proposal by Senator Henry F. Ashurst <Dem.. Ariz.), to limit aid to American citizens. Debate on these amendments disclosed that those senators who voted j into the army bill $22,000,000 for enrolling homeless youths in the C. M. T. C. expect that action to stand even though this substitute plan for transients becomes law. Senator James Couzens (Rep., Mich.), who fathered the military camp project, indorsed the $15,000,000, appropriation for transients as a supplemental measure to his. Glass Assails “Raids” During discussion of the loan provision of the Wagner bill Senator Huey Long (Dem., La.) announced that Louisiana does not intend to repay amounts the state has borrowed from the R. F. C. Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va.) denounced all federal relief measures, including loans for construction, and demanded that “raids on jthe federal treasury” stop. Glass recently has declined to become secretary of the treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet. STATE'S HIGHEST COURT SUSTAINS DEATH RULING J.ife Imprisonment Verdict in Another Case Is Reversed.

Amendmenton ChildLahor Still Has Chance to Be Law Organized Unions Making Particular Effort to Persuade Legislatures to Ratify Measure. By Bcrippx-lfoirnrd Xcicspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The child labor amendment, just ratified by the Oregon legislature, again has a chance to become part of the Constitution. Organized labor is making particular efforts this year to have the amendment considered favorably by state legislatures. Elimination of child labor is part of its general program, along with the short, work week and old age pensions, designed to make work available for heads of families.

With Oregon added, the list of states ratifying the amendment numbers seven. Twenty-six states have refused to ratify. Fifteen others have taken no action. Following a court ruling that a state may change its position on an amendment, a drive for ratification has been started in Minnesota, one of the states which acted unfavorably in the past. Labor will continue its fight as long as legislatures remain in session, counting on changed economic conditions to bring about more favorable consideration. The child labor amendment was submitted to "the states in 1924. No time limit was fixed in which it must be acted upon. States which have ratified it are Arizona. Arkansas, California, Montana, Colorado, Wisconsin and Oregon. The amendment gives congress power to "limit, regulate and piohibit the labor of persons unaer 18 years of age.” Falls Asleep; Loses Life By United Press GARY, Ind.. Feb. 21. —Louis Santow, 50.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Present 30*Hour Bill Is Likely Unconstitutional, Is By Heriyps-Hr/teard \rtcspayrr Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Determined efforts to write into the Constitution an amendment giving congress the power to reduce the number of working hours for labor will be made in the next session by a group which for two years has been advocating this reform. Support of President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt will be sought for the measure which, its backers con- : tend, would correct much of the j unemployment and over-production resulting from the introduction of high-speed machinery into industry. The amendment is advocated by : Representative Robert Crosser j (Dem., O.i, who has devoted himself jto labor legislation for eighteen j years and who, with Senator Key i Pittman (Dem., Nev.), is author of Ia bill providing for a six-hour day j and thirty-hour week for railway : employes. j The house labor committee has reported a bill establishing the six- ! hour day and five-day week for all industries whose products enter interstate commerce. Advocates of the constitutional amendment contend such legislation would be unconstitutional under the 5-to-4 dej cision of the supreme court which ; held invalid the child labor act for- ! bidding interstate shipment of goods i made by children.

Attorneys will plead that Schmitt | was insane at tune of the slaying of August Spilker at the latter's secluded farm near Gem in 1924. They also will present a purported confession of the murder by Albert Schmitt, the stepfather, shortly before he died in 1925. Charles Schmitt was arrested shortly after Spilker was killed and was committed to the state prison insane colony. He must face trial now that physicians have pronounced him cured of the mental ailment. He has served almost nine years in prison. Indianapolis relatives of Schmitt will testify in his behalf.

“Careful Women Save Best When They Buy BOND BREAD” says Airs. Dorothy Ayers Loudon at the Indianapolis Times Cooking School BOND bread is the best bread I have ever used, in my lectures as well as in my home. It is the most economical, too. “Compare the taste of Bond Bread with that of other loaves. You’ll find Bond so delicious and home-like that every last morsel of it is eaten. None of it wasted. “Compare the firm texture of Bond with that of any ordinary loaf. You can see at a glance that every slice of Bond contains much more nourishment and substantial food value. There are no air holes to waste both bread and • ?•' i * . butter —no wasteful crumbling. “And then of course there is vitamin-D—----the scarce and important vitamin that helps build fine, firm teeth and strong bones. How Science has bettered the best bread “All nutritional authorities agree that everyone needs vitamin-D to help the minerals in our diet in the process of building good, hard, trouble-free teeth and strong, well-formed bones. Most foods do not contain this scarce vitamin at all! The few that do, don’t contain anywhere near enough. “So science searched and found the method of incorporating vitamin-D in bread —and delicious, home-like Bond Bread was selected to bring you this added food value, never before contained in any bread. “Two slices of Bond Bread each meal provide the extra vitamin-D you need. This statement is approved by the American Medical Association, Committee on Foods.” Ask your grocer for sunshine vitamin-D Bond Bread, fresh twice daily.
