SENATE DECLINES
NEW 5DAY VOTE
Bill Sent to House After So

Reconsideration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSS.
The Senate today refused to recon-
slider passage Of the five-day week bill
and sent 1t to the House where impor-
tant notifications are in prospect to
meet administration suggestions.
The vote against reconsideration, So
to 80, removed a serious obstacle to the
administration farm bill as the motion
had been pending more than a week,
and four previous efforts to bring it up
had met with Republican opposition.
The measure, sponsored by Senator
Black, Democrat, Of Alabama, had
passed the Senate April by So to 80
The next day Senator Trammell,
Democrat, Of Florida, entered the re-
consideration motion In order to have
another test on an amendment to in
clude imported products in the bill
This amendment lost on the first test,
II to 80. ..
Senator Hatfield Republican) Of West
Virginia, who sponsored the first amend
ment to include imported articles in the
proposed interstate commerce ban
against goods produced by labor working
longer than 30 hours week, resumed
the tight today, declaring American
labor in sugar refneries. oil flelds. lum-
Der and metal industries would be seri-
ously hampered without such an
amendment.

HOUSE TO CONSIDER
SHOALS PLAN SOON
Speaker Rainey Tells Press
Only Report of Commit
tee Is Needed.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Speaker Rainey predicted today the
House will begin consideration Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Tennessee Valley pro-
gram before the week is out.
I'VE will start its consideration as
soon as the committee reports" Rainey
said at his press conference.
Chairman McSwain Of the Military
Committee has fixed tomorrow for final
action on his bill to develop the Ten
nessee Valley in accordance with the
Presidents recommendations.
Some Of the Republican members
plan strenuous opposition to giving the
proposed Tennessee Valley Authority the
right to build power Transmission lines
and manufacture fertilizer.
These two issues twice have result
ed In vetoes of Muscle Shoals legisla-
ton by Republican Presidents. But the
present Republican minority Is so small
that McSwain was confident major
aspects of the bill would remain viz
tually intact:
Power Companies Plea
w. L. Wfllkie, president Of the Com
monwealth & Southern Corporation,
led spokesmen fer the six Southern
power companies Of the group In de-
mand that the proposed Tennessee VAL
ley authority not be empowered to
build electric transmission lines.
His position gained the support OF
Henry I. Hartman, president OF the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States.
Both the McSwain bill, and the
Norris bill already approved by the
Senate Agricultural Committee, would
authorize the Government corporation
to build its own transmission lines II
necessary.
Quantity production Of fertilizer at
the Shoals was assailed by Charles j.
Brand, secretary Of the National Ferti-
1izer Association. The MeSwain bill
authorizes the manufacture of ferti-
Hzer in commercial quantities, but the
Norris bill limits this feature to ex-
perimental production.
Judson King, director Of the National
Popular Government League and close
associate Of Norris, told the House Com
mittee that If the power companies
strip the cost of their transmission
lines Of all water and wind the Presi-
dent will be willing to let them have
the power"
Mcswain's view, after hearing both
sides, was:
II don't believe there will be any i'm
portant changes made In the bill as in
troduced. OF course, there will be some
minor amendments-1 will recommend
some myself. But they will deal chiefly
with verbal, technical and clerical
matters.
