Washington, June 24.-tP)-A tug
of-war between the forces Of Speaker
Jack Garner, presidential candidate,
and the senate was in the making
Friday over the unemployment relief
Dill. last great issue of the congress
sional session.
The senate passed the relief bill late
Thursday without even a record vote,
appointing conferees to
compromise with the house. Though
its text was far different from the one
adopted by the representatives under
the Garner spur, the bill bore the
house title. to permit immediate con-
ference. Moreover the senate had
knuckled down to house demands to
the extent of Incorporating the $780,
0000 900 loans to states provision pre-
viously passed separately.
This had been an attempt to get
some relief enacted even though the
major bill should fall under a gener-
ally expected veto. But the Garner
forces had refused to consider the
loan bill by itself. insisting their mea-
sure-the one condemned by Presi-
dent Hoover as a gigantic pork bar
ref'-should be the basis of whatever
relief legislation is put up to the pres
ident.
Garner undertook Friday to appoint
house conferees and get the proceed
ings started. He had sat through the
senate's debate Thursday. his own
branch being in recess, and on leav-
ing asserted the conferees would "go
right to work"

that reason their conferees will do
their utmost to keep the bond issue

Veto Around Corner
Administration Republicans are
confident of veto on whatever
comes out of the conference.
Though distasteful to many sena-
tors because of provisions they fear
will impose cruel hardship on govern
