If congress passjes this bill a complicated and expensive system of non occupational disability and accident insurance, together with far reaching surivor annuity insurance for parents, wives and children of deceased workers as well as other legal heirs, will be imposed upon the already liberal pension and unemployment protection enjoyed by railroad labor under existing federal acts. Thousands of employees not employed by railroads would be under the provisions of this new railroad retirement and unemployment insurance act.

THE LANDS IS SAN PRANCISCO, April 2—In the interests of fair play to state and local government, and to the _ citizens, the United States government should stop quibbling about the title to tidelands in California and other states, James Mussatti general manager of the California State Chamber of Commerce, declared today in announcing that the state chamber supports the senate and house resolutions which would quitclaim to respective states and private owners all rights and claims of: the United States of America to all lands beneath tidewaters and navigable waters, except lands which have been acquired by federal agencies by grant, quitclaim or condemnation. This would ‘support the historical claim of the state to tidewater lands upon which most of California harbors have been built. Unless this claim. is sustained beyond all question of doubt, Mussatti added, the investment of state aad local governmenits and private citizens in such lands will be jeopardized. end of the Revolution each of the original thirteen states became the, absolute owner of all lands and all other states were admitted to the Union on the same basis under constitutional requirements, State and federal courts and the executive department of the federal government recognized the sovereignty of the states over submerged lands for more than one hundred years. This justified the state, local governments and private citizens in investing large sums of money in the creation of the ports which has made possible the development of ‘California. This right of ownership should: not be swept aside by mere government fiat. The simplest way to remove cloud from these titles is by wise resolutions of congress quitclaiming title to these lands.
