Rush to Political Leaders In Effort

II u o Staff rorrrtponrinit
Ilan-lsburg, Feb. '!. -110101 men of
tho state have become nlnrmed over the
! UrcleM legislation to i-ei
hotels of the state by brln
cgulate the
ging them
under the jurisdiction of the Public
Service Commission nnd are rushing
frantically here to head off any regula
tory measures
Representatives of hotel interests from
several sections of tlie state nnived here
vestcrdny for the purpose of conferring
with legislative leaders on the proposed
legislation
One of the arrivals was Thomas C.
Leslie, of Philadelphia, secretary of
the State Hotelmen's Association.
Tlie hotelmen hunted up. some of the
Republican lenders and urged that
nothing radical in the wuy of regulatory
legislation be adopted.
An incident illustrative of how thor
oughly the hotelmen have become
alarmed xvas the announcement by the
management of the Penn-Hnrris to some
of its patrons that the "three-day res
ervation rule" was no longer in force.
This rule aroused the iru of legisla
tors. The hotel had put into effect n
rule that all legislators and others wish
ing to reserve rooms during the legis
lative bession had to guarantee to pay
ior inreo unys a wecic. I
The Senate had been adjourned Tues
day nnd senators stopping at the Penn- I
Hnrris who leave Tuesday afternoon!
paid for two nights they did not occupy
their looms. House members leaving!
Wednesday paid for one extra night. It!
is leported the rule will be revoked gen- ,
erully and that "pay for what you get"
will be the future policy. "

Another bill on the program is one

an interview, following the conference,
tho governor discussed the program in
n general way. Ho said the bill pro

thnn the other taxes suggested In the
Sproul rcvcntie-rnsing plnn. The Gov
ernor ) stinlvlmr the nronosnl carefully
with a view 'to guarding the constitu-1

Speaking of his legislative desires,

"My program Is not n long one. al
though my speech to the Legislature
rnny have been n bit long. I expect to
have everything in shape for presen
tation within the next two weeks. The
constitutional convention bill is pre
pared and ready now.
"The prohibition enforcement mat
ter is n big question. Attorney General
Alter is working on that.
"The reapportionment question is
another big matter that we must con
sider. If the Sennte passes the ratio
bill as it passedthc House, we may be
able to lake up the question of congres
sional apportionment, but it is pnssib'e
Congress may not act in time nnd that
wo will not be able to pass legislation
for reapportioning congressional tlis
trlcts in Pennsylvania this yenr. Never
theless, we should go ahead with tin
apportionment of senatorial nud Icgl -lative
districts."

Toiighill's had been the only mime pre

Oh. shucks," replied the Governor.

HOUSE COMMITTEE
AS
DISARMAMENT
Reports Favorably on Renolu
tion to Invito Nations
to Conferonco
lv (do Associated Press
WiksliliiBfon, Feb. 3. -A resolution
authorizing the President to invito tin
nations of tho world to send delegate!
to n conference "to provide for disarms
ment" xvns reported favorably todav
by the House foreign affairs committer
The measure xvns sponsored by Rep
rcscntntivc Brooks, Republican, of
Illinois.
Under tho resolution tho proposed
conference would be held in Washing
ton, but the calling of it would be left
to the discrotlon of tho President.
This is the first definite notion takfu
by any congressional committee look
ing to a conference for general dlsnrmn
ment. Tho Senate foreign relations
committee has reported out a resolution
by Senator Borah proposing negotiation'
between the United States, Great Brll
nln nnd Japan looking to a reduction
of nnvnl building in the future.
The House today voted down 80 to 2H
an amendment to the army nppronrin
tion bill proposing reduction of the
number of officers from 14,000 to 8300
It then plunged into n fight over the
proposal to cut the enlisted strength of
the rcgulnr army to lfiO.000 men.
Favorable report xvas ordered totltiv
by the House agriculture committee on
n substitute plan for the Scnato bill
for federal regulation of the meat In
dustry. Under the substitute plan, con
trol of meat packers would bo vested In
the Department of Agriculture and
Etoekyords be placed under the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
The Senate bill xvas kept intact bv
its House committee proponents until
the $7f!,000 item for expenses of the
Fetlcrnl Livestock Commission it would
create xvas reached. Attention was
then called to the rule that npproprla
tions must originate in the House nnd
on motion of Representative Hutchin
son, of New Jersey, the liouso Buh
committee plan was substituted.
On the ftr.nl x-ote to report this sub
stltuto favorably, Representative "Wit
son, of Illinois, was the only member
recorded in tho negative. The commit
tee voted 1 lto 0 to nsk for a special
i tile in the House.
The Fordney emergency tariff bill
surviving n dny of political jockeyins
yesterday, still was lingering before the
Senate today, although chances of the
measure ever coming to n tlnnl vote had
been reduced to uncertainty by the over
whelming defeat of the cloture resolu
tion, which reopened the gates for an
other flood of oratory.
