St. Lawrence Pact Is Now
Up to Senate WASHINGTON, April 28 UP).—
The St. Lawrence waterway agreement between the federal government and New York was approved today by the House through adoption by voice vote of the McReyn-olds resolution vesting forever power rights on the project with the Empire State,
The measure provides that New York must pay $89,726,000 toward the total of $272,453,000 the United States is to contribute to the $543,-429,000 project on President Roosevelt's program-
It now goes to the Senate, whero the treaty with Canada, negotiated by former President Hoover and supported by President Roosevelt, is pending. Because of the controversial nature of the treaty, Representative Parker (R., N.Y.), sought to have the McReynolds resolution sent back to the interstate and for-
felgn commerce committee, for inclusion of an amendment to provide that adoption of the measure "shall be in no way construed as an expression of the att i tude of the House as to the merits of the proposed treaty." On a record vote of 224 to 171, however, the move was defeated.
Opponents charged that President Roosevelt had Chairman Raybura of the commerce committee to force House action on the measure to Influence the Senate to ratify the treaty, Bince the resolution does not become effective until both Canada and the United States ratify the pact.
They also charged tha t the St. Lawrence waterway would divert commerce from Atlantic and Gulf ports.

WASHINGTON, April 26 UP).— Spokesmen, for organized labor and business pointed out today to the Hou&a Labor Committee the flaws they think are ruinous in Secretary Perkins ' plan* for federal control of production, wages and hours of labor.
Flnst there was William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, who agreed with the idea of limiting work to six hours & day, five days In the week, but contended, that a federal minimum wage law would be- a "risky adventure."
Then there was Gerard Swope, gresident of the General Electric
ompany, who approved the purpose of the bill—"to spread em-

The proposal to retire postal and other federal employes who have completed 80 or more years of service has been protested by A. J . Fil-kins, superintendent of malls, in a communication to Representative Frank Crowther. If the proposal became a regulation, Postmaster Edwin Conde said yesterday, it would mean the retirement of moat of the supervisory staff, the assistant postmaster, postal cashier, foreman of the money order division, assistant superintendent and superintendent of mails, senior foremen of clerks, the superintendents of the Brandywine and Scotia substations, as well as a number of clerks in tha mailing section.
The message of Superintendent Filklns to Crowther follows:
"The proposed compulsory retirement of civil service employes after 30 years' service as recommended by Director of the Budget Douglas, effective July 1, would, it is believed, create havoc in the efficient operation of the postal service. At Schenectady i t would result in the retirement of 75 per cent of the postal supervisors, many of whom are buying their homes and who have financial obligations they could not meet, all of whom have rendered efficient service.
"It would be an Injustice to those who have given their life work to the service and tend to seriously lower morale. The retirement of such a number of supervisors would result in a chaotic condition and certainly would not be approved by business interests were they aware of its effects on the efficiency of the service."
Rev. Sebastian Conteglacomo of the Congregation of the Precious Blood officially opened a special mission Sunday night which will be held all this week at the Church of Our LadyH of Mount Carmel, Schenectady street Mission masses will be celebrated at S o'clock all this week and evening services will take place at 7:30 o'clock with rosary, sermon and benediction.

HIT BILL TO PERMIT USE OF REFLECTOR
CITY SPEED SIGNS One bill passed by the 1933 legis
lature and now before the governor for signature that is being vigorously opposed by the automobile clubs is the H. R. Smith bill, which would permit cities and villages to use reflector buttons for the letters of speed limit signs and whiph makes other changes in the law.
George M. Baker, chairman of the legislative committee, of the Schenectady Automobile Club, points out that the present law requires cities and villages to keep such signs "adequately lighted at night" and this prevents speed traps springing up here and there in municipalities which still regard the-" motorists as a source of easy money. The proposed new law would make it" unnecessary for a municipality to light Its Bpeed limit signs at nighL
Also, the present law requires such signs to be a t least six feet from the ground. The new law would permit these signs to be placed on the ground itself where the signs would soon be obscured by mud or could easily be hidden from view by a bush or other obstruction.
wage proposal, and accepted the SO-hour week provision but Insisted that production had better be controlled by industry itself through modification of the Clayton and Sherman anti-trust acts.
Swope testified, too, that there should be greater elasticity In the plan to reduce working hours. Where Secretary Perkins would permit employes ordinarily on the job 30 hours in a week to work 40 hours a week for 10 weeks, Swope
Eroposed that a maximum of 48 ours be allowed for any one week. He would divide the total num
ber of hours in a six-month period by the number of weeks so that the average would not exceed 30 hours.
Some expressions of these two witnesses on major provisions of the bill were:
Limited working hours— Green—"We (organized labor) are
heartily in favor of this par t of the bill."
Swope—"The provisions of the bill are • * • too rigid for practical application and * • do not*go far enough."
Production control— Green—"We think that would
prove a very interesting experiment and we are willing to accept It to see what the outcome would be."
Swope—"Production had • much better be controlled by an agreement of industry Itself, organized into trade unions."
Minimum wage law— ' Green—"It would be a risky ad
venture. While it might help some, It would tend to& injure the efforts of the great bulk of labor to bring about Increased standards of living."
Swope—"That is particularly essential to the lower classes of labor, unskilled labor needs your protection; it has no organization to help it."
On the proposal to bar imports made in foreign countries by workmen on the job more than 30 hours a week they said:
Green—"We understand there is some opposition to that, particularly by the administration, but we believe it would be fair to prevent importation of goods made on a longer work week basis."
Swope—"That would not do much good. Our dlfflculities now are caused by depreciated currencies abroad. Requiring a 30-hour work week on imports would increase the foreign labor cost only slightly."
