LOBBY INDUSTRY SECOND BIGGEST IN WASHINGTON Success Written Large in Statutes: Business, Labor Lead. Tht h ik, fourth f At, article* hv Slut Finn,, an la bitting in Wathinglan at pr a-tired In lb, paat and today.

BY RI Til FINNEY Time* '.penal Writer WASHINGTON. April 2—Lobbying is the second bigget industry in the nation s capital. Government ts the first. So well established is this industry that many special-interest groups have permanent headquarters in Washington. Many of their spokesmen have been around the capital longer than mast members of Congress. It’s hard to find any one who can remember w hen James A. Em- ry with his trim white goatee was not presenting the case of the National Association r f Manufacturers before any committee considering industrial or labor legislation. The business lobby fN. A M. plus the United States Chamber of Commerce!, the labor lobby and the veterans’ lobby are the three mast effective special - interest groups operating in the capital. All draw their strength from the numbers of voters they represent and the broad distribution of those voters. There is not a congressional district in the country in which the organized business vote, the solid vote of labor, or the vote of exservice men and their friends could not cause a candidate for office considerable trouble.

Opposite White House The Chamber of Commerce occupies its own imposing marble structure across Lafayette Square from the White House. Its president appears before congressional committees himself instead of hiring an agent to do so for him, and between times the Chamber pours forth statements, reports and a weekly news bulletin setting forth the views of business and industry. The American Federation of Labor has its own building too, although less impaling and less strategically situated. Its president also appeals directly to the government, and issues statements and bulletins, and the Federation keeps a man at the Capitol most of the time reminding legislators of its wants. Edward F. McCrady did the job most efficiently until he became Assistant Secretary of Labor in the present Admmigration. Round-faced John Thomas Tavior does the talking for the American Legion, and the success with which he does it can be gauged by the government's annual bill for veteran payments, totaling nearly a billion dollars. The bonus fight has been pressed more actively by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, also with conspicuous success so far as Congress is concerned. Wets and Drys Inactive The farm lobby, the dry lobby and the wet lobby used to be equally vocal and effective. The National ( and the Farm Bureau Federation representatives are still here, but under AAA the battles for farm

legislation have ceased to be annual events. The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals still issues occasional statements from its impressive building on Capitol Hill, but waits a more favorable time before attempting a return to the glories of that day when the sight of Wayne Wheeler in the congressional galleries was a thing to make Senators and House members pause and tremble. The wet lobby has gone out of business. National defense and peace lobbies always have been here and always will be. One wins anew cruiser, the other a treaty, and thus they alternate back and forth, year after year. The Daughters of the American Revolution occupy the largest marble palace of them all. The Navy League and, on the other side of the fence, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the National Council for the Prevention of War, occupy rented quarters. A battle that promises to be as interminable Is carried on year in and year out by the National Woman's Party, which wants economic equality for women, and the League of Women Voters which works for protective legislation. The stock market lobby is a newcomer in Washington but an important one. It made its appearance when the first Roosevelt measures on securities were introduced, and it now has headquarters in a handsome residence dubbed the Wall Street Embassy. A few large industries keep representatives in Washington all the time in addition to those spokesmen for the general industrial world. Among them are the utilities, railroads, aviation, oil and aluminum • both the Mellon company and the independents!. The American Liberty League, born to give utterance to conservative opposition to the New Deal, is directed by Jouett Shouse, who, fought so well against prohibition that he worked himself out of a job. No less than six imitators of the Liberty League have already sprung up But this list does not begin to exhaust the record of lobbyists. Washington is full of individuals ready to

represent this cause or that interest for a price. Many of them are former members of the House or Senate, defeated by their constituents and earning a living through their familiarity with the machinery of government and their acquaintance with officials. Others are former employes of the executive departments. A few departments forbid men who leave them to represent clients before them for two years, but others are not so strict. The newest lobbying wrinkle of all has just been devised by the state of Arizona. It is sending an ambassador to Washington to see that Arizona gets its share of anything the Federal government is parceling out. Many congressmen have been doing this so faithfully in the past that they have been called logrollers instead of statesmen, and Washington is waiting to see whether the new system will release them for statecraft or whether the two kinds of representatives from a single state will compete for plums to take home. Tomorrow: Lobbyists Cost Big Money. Travels 5,000 Miles to Stomach Sufferer From St. Paul. Minn., to the Panama Canal, and thence to Hongf Kong, China: that’s the travel record of four bottles of Udga Tablets, ordered by J. Alegra, to ward off stomach suffering. Mr. Alegra finds that nothing alleviates stomach suffering like the Udga Treatment, based on a famous stomach specialist's prescription. No wonder Mr. Alegra and over 54.000 others have written enthusiastic praise of Udga. Where ordinary tablets, powders or soda serve only to neutralize acidity, Udga's more thorough medication not only checks excess acid, but soothes inflammation and stops pain. Life is too short to suffer acid stomach, indigestion, heartburn, gas pains, belching and other signs of excess acidity. Udga is available at your drug store. One trial must convince or your money is refunded—Advertisement.

STATE HOUSING DRIVE IS OFF TO FLYING START \ 7 Per Cent of Goal Set for Jan. 1, 1936, Already Reported. The Federal Housing Administration in Indiana has reached 7 per cent of the goal set for Jan. 1, 1936. it was revealed today. The goal was based upon house-to-house canvasses made by FHA workers. Indianapolis, with a population of 364.181 (1930 census) has a quota of $3,923,690 in modernization and repair and is within 12 per cent of the goal. The FHA chart shows that $468,922 already has been spent here in modernization. The volume of.business created in Marion County since Aug. 1 is estimated by the FHA at $51,800,000. Bank loans in this county in that period were $64,183 to home modernizers. Total loans were $469,922. Totals for Indiana show that sl,008,181 of modernization work has been accomplished out of a total of $14,224,379. High honors go to little Newberry with a population of 366 persons. The goal was set for $3843, but already the town has spent $4312. The per cent of goal is therefore 112. Six cities, Crown Point, Elkhart, Gas City, Linton. Richmond and Waterloo, have only reached 1 percent of their quota. Insurance companies with headquarters in Indianapolis now approved as mortgagees are the American Central Life Insurance Cos., and the Indianapolis Life Insurance Cos. The first mortgage loan actually

completed in Indiana was made by the Fletcher Trust Cos. the week of March 23. Applications for insurance on mortgage loans totaling $215,925 have been received at state headquarters. This is divided among 51 applicants, an average of $4233 each. MUSIC CONTEST IS SET Fourth District High School Event Opens at Southport Friday.
