Loud applause greeted the
adoption Of the resolution.
In dispensing with resolution of
Local 2055, Acme, Wyo., seeking gov
eminent ownership of public util-
tiles as we'll as the coal industry and
other basic industries a report of
the resolutions committee also was
adopted without dissent.
The report said, I'VE believe the
present plans of the national recov-
cry act which seeks to regulate and
control public utilities and industry
is the best method Of dealing with
the problem affecting the people of
this country.
Plead for NRA Principles
I'VE believe also this will lead to
solution of the problems arising
from time to time. We firmly ADJ
WISE THAT THE PRINCIPLES Of
NRA should be EXTENDED beyond
the PRESENT TERM.
The roadway clearly is in view.
We can travel toward government
ownership or naturalization, if the
ability to regulate or control fails
to solve the problems Of our time"
says the adopted report.
In the Wyoming locals plea for
the curbing of public utilities, it
asked that the United States ac-
quire utilities at a fair price" and
that "aIl natural resources remain
in the ownership of the United
States"

Adoption of q resolution urging
the payment of the soldiers bonus
was assured today when one resolu-
ton was tabled on the bonus and

that more concise resolution was
being framed.
Delegates cheered the chairman's
remarks. A war veteran, Arthur
Nichols, told the convention floor of

placed before the international

proval. Tentative approval, with
qualifications, have been given to
Brophy's membership by the inter-

OratOry Is Fiery

the resolutions committee, coupled
with a resolution urging interna-
tional officers to take action against
the alleged dissertation of the monu-
Tnent of John Mitchell in Scranton, !
Pa, and its use as spot for po-
litical stumping, brought the ma
jor oratorical fervor of the morn
ing.
The convention approved the rule
of the international union that all
unsigned resolutions be tossed in the
proverbial waste basket.
