JOHNSON Special Correspondent to The Eagle Geneva, Jan. 28-With representatives of the United States Government and American Labor pating for the first time, although indirectly, the International Labor office today started a drive for 8 shorter working week. Statistics from most of the 62 countries members of the labor office, are available for study and the board will have to decide along what lines the fight for an international convention will have to be prosecuted.

Instead of making the next treaty general, it has been urged that the conference follow President Roosevelt's, code idea. Hours will be regulated according to requirements in various industries. U. S. Delegates Present Two representatives of the United States Government, William Gorham Rice Jr.

and Isador Lubin, are participating in the meetings. James Wilson, ex-president of the Pattern Makers Union will meet with the workers group on the board. The Labor Office is starting 1935 with the collaboration of four new members. the United States, Soviet Russia, Ecuador and Afghanistan. American participation is expected to give a great impetus to international social and industrial co-opeartion, according to Harold Butler.

The International Labor Office has blazed the way for international reduction of working hours. At the Washington conference in 1919 a world-wide 48-hour week was embodied in a which most countries In 1931 a convention, convention for limiting working hours among coal miners was drafted and at last June's conference a convention for shorter working days in automatic sheet glass works was approved.

With regard to Charles Lehrenkrauss, the judge stated that evidence indicated he had played a "subordinated" part in the affairs of the defunct company. The court made no comment concerning Fradkin.

Lehman Offers Plan for Higher Taxes Tonight Legislature Will Hear Program Calling for Million-a-Day Revenue Eagle Bureau. Canilel Building. Albany, Jan.

28-New York State's cial program for the next rear, featured by new and inCreased taxe: said before 1 the Legislature tonight by Governor Lehman. The Governor already has let it be known that the executive budget will be at least as large, probably larger, than the present budget of $279,000,000. This is due to his insistence that relief costs be financed in part from current funds, and his promise that State aid to localities will be continued at its existing level. It has been estimated that the State's deficit is about $80,000,000. That item, together with the regular budget, means that the State must collect more than $1,000,000 a day in revenue from July 1, 1935, to June 30, 01936.

All Democrats Summoned In anticipation of the busiest week of the session Democratic leaders have instructed all their party members to be present tonight. They plan to force action during the week on the rest of the bills carrying out Governor Lehman's program recommendations. The Assembly may vote tonight on the Joseph-Pack bill, creating a State authority to aid holders of defaulted guaranteed mortgage certificates. It was passed last week in the Senate by such a wide margin that Lower House approval is forecast. Both Houses are ready to jam through the Kelly bill, transferring control of the Department of Agriculture from Republican to Democratic hands.

Opposition by farm organizations to the change was surprisingly small at the public hearing last week. Clear Way for Budget Democratic leaders hope to have the calendars cleared for action next week on the budget bills. When they are out of the way strictly local legislation, heretofore held in committee, will be given a chance. It has been ignored SO far because leaders believed that was the best way to keep members in line for the program bills. The fate of two of the Lehman remains in doubt.

They proposals bill setting up a State monopoly in workmen's the compensa- resolution insurance and ratifying the child labor amendment to the Federal Constitution. Enough Democrats are opposed personally to both to prevent their passage, but it is possible the Governor can use the party whip to get the insurance measure through one House. His advisers believe this will place him in a more strategic position to win from the private carriers a guarantee that the 6,500 awards against companies which have failed in the past will be paid by their survivors. Guarantee Against Failure The private companies already have offered to set up a central fund to protect claimants against future failures. Bills will be offered this week for requiring agricultural co-operative organizations to submit their finances to the scrutiny of the Department of Agriculture.

That requirement was dropped from the law in 1932. Its restoration is demanded by farmer of the co-operatives and by Governor Lehman. Assemblyman Abbott Loew Moffatt, New York Republican, will introduce a bill requiring municipal plants to be self-supporting, anxer, prohibiting the use of tax monies for any deficits they may have. The measure also provides that employes of municipal plants must be under civil service. 80 HELD IN STRIKE RAID Fargo, N.
