MAYORS SCORE CONGRESS FOR FINAL ACTION
Failed at Time When Municipalities Are Looking to Government, Says Rolph. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 5. Sharp criticism of Congress for not passing appropriation and other measures and of government departments for what was trmned failure to co-operate to the fullest in providing employment and In releasing raw materials, developed at the White House conference of governors and mayors, called to consider labor and business problems. Mayor Rolph of San Francisco, who led the discussion, declared Congress had failed to pass great appropriation measures at a time when the country was looking to the Federal government to set an example to states and municipalities in the handling of business. Mayor Clark Burdick of Newport,
K. I., charged that government plants in his city had refused to re-employ men who left the plants to go to war, some of whom had returned bearing wound stripes. Mayor Peters of Boston said business there would be greatly assisted if the government
would come to some determination of
policy as to raw materials, such as wol and leather, which were controlled during the war. Trouble at Capital. "The country and the cities are all right; whatever trouble exists centers right here," the San Francisco mayor declared. "Why" did a filibuster defeat the great appropriation measure? Why shouldn't Congress be reconvened to take up problems faced by all the states? Why are government officials resigning? "These are some of the questions I want to ask, but there is nobody here to answer them. Congress has adjourned, the president has gone to Paris, and the vice-president to Phoenix, Ariz. Everybody has flown the coop except the mayors." Mayor Rolph said much of the difficulty which has arisen from the demobilization of the army might have been averted by discharging all men in their home states, a sentiment expressed also by Lieutenant Governor Crossley of Missouri and others. It was asserted that many discharged men had become stranded near large cities and perhaps never would return to their homes.
