ment nnd reduction of railroad freight
rates constituted one of n number of
rocemmcndntlons formulated for pres
entation fedny te the natlennl unem
ployment conference for bringing about
n permanent betterment of the nntlen s
commerce and Industry with consequent
rcllpf of unemployment.
The recommendation with respect te
rates, ns In the case of ether recom
mendations, wns set forth in a resolu
tion adopted by n conference committee
for approval by the full conference Thp
recommendation proposes readjustment
of rnllrend rates mere nenrly in accord
with the relatlve value of the com
modities nnd reductions in chnrges en
shipments of primary commodities. This
should be done, however, the resolu
tion states, with proper attention te
ranlntcnance of finnnrial stability of the
carriers.
Oilier Recommendations Offered
Other recommendations, which will
be presented te the full confprence lnte
today, recemmend:
Speedv ennctment of tax legislation
with Its contemplated reduction of
levies In order that biisInessOmny be
promptly revived.
Immedlate determination of theeourse
of Congress with respect te tariff leg
islation te enable business te decide
upon Its future conduct and policies.
Settlement of the Government s
financial relationship with the railways,
having In mind the Immedlate necessity
for increased betterments, making cf cf cf
foctlve Increased railway employment
and stimulation of general employment.
This, it is set forth, would enable the
railways te be prepared for enlarged
business as It comes.
Limitation of world armament nnd
consequent increase of tranquillity nnd
further decrease of thp tax burden net
rnly of the United States, but of ether
countries.
Stabilization of Excliange Vital
Action looking te the minimizing of
fluctuation of exchange, because, the
resolution asserts, recovery from the
great slump In manufactured experts,
due te the economic rituntlen In Ku Ku Ku
repe, cannot mnke substantial prog
ress se long as wide daily fluctuations
continue In foreign exchange.
Programs of action that will lend te
employment In scaBennl and intermit
tent Industries, notably in the coal in
dustry, in order that the drain npen
enpitnl may be lessened nnd the nnnunl
Inceme of the workers may be In
creased. Readjustment of 1he buying power
of the different elements of the com
munity te mere rclntlve plane.
The resolutions nre understood te
present the view that a disproportion
cxlsta between the price of primary
commodities and the ultimate retail
price, this being due te Increased costs
of transportation, cniargea proms, in
terests, taxes, larnir and etner cnarges
The full report of the committee
which is expected te le laid before the
conference this afternoon will rocom recom rocem
ment, It Is snld, n general policy
for the permanent relief of the unem
ployed and the return of commerce and
bus'incss te normal. The suggestions,
which will be in the form of a general
