HOOVER CURBS
CONGRESS REVOLT
President Takes Action to Con-
ciIiate All the Warning
Factions.

Washington-Out of the welter of
confusing resulting from loss OF ad-
ministration control Of the senate on
the debenture issue came evidence of
the guiding hand of the administra-
ton in the direction of better under
standing.
In the house there was more dis
position on the part of the leaders to
yield on the farm schedule and to do
something to eliminate the offensive
building schedules. In the senate, the
direct method which the President
has adopted of getting the senator's to-
gether as suggested by the conferences
yesterday with Senators Fess Of Ohio
and Borah Of Idaho, showed itself in
an evident desire on the part of the
senate to conciliate rather than to an
tagOnize its own membership.
Over in the house, the decision to
rule out debenture on the ground 1t
is revenue raising measure, gave
sending 1t to conference. That would
avoid throwing it in the face OF the
senate.
There are plans on foot for the sen.
ate to recess as soon as the house tar.
ia reaches 1t, probably for as long q
time as three months. During this
time, the senate committee would hold
hearings on the tariff bill and it would
be possible to line up things and pos
sibly let the public home have some
thing to say about it.
The farm groups continued organ
ization of their position, with the
view Of obtaining better rates on farm
products. In the discussions which
took place, there was a disposition to
go beyond the farm schedules and
look into the bill as whole.

I. L. d. Statement.
Juliet Stuart Poyntz, national
secretary of the I. L. D., yesterday
issued the following statement:
"In their desperation, the employ
ers are taking all possible measures
against the strikers, and with the
aid of the Ku Klux Khan and the
American Legion and other reac-
tionaries, are attempting to provoke
violence against the strikers and
their leaders. The strikers, how
ever, are standing firm, in spite of
all this intimidation and violence
against them and with their ranks
solid are determined to continue and
widen the struggle with more ener.
getic and militant activity.
"The International Labor Defense
is taking steps to organize a drive
on a nationwide scale for the de-
Tense of the southern textile strik-
ers, to call mass meetings in var
ious centers and rouse the workers
of the North to the great issues of
the struggle that is going on in the
South. 1t will participate in a mass
meeting in New York next Wednes-
day, April IT, with the N. T. w. U.
the w. l. R. and the T. U. e. L.
to bring before the workers of New
York the issues of the strike.
"This strike marks the entrance
of the /. L. D. into the South, where
it takes up the great task of de-
Tending Negro and white workers
the most intensely exploited slaves
CT the industrial system of the tex
tile mills, in the plantations, against
southern reaction, the X. X. X. and
the blacklist fascist elements in
America. In mobilizing the work
ers of the rest of the county to
stand firmly in solid ranks the new
union advances into the unorganized
field as the shield Of the workers
against the bosses persecution and
capitalist reaction"
