ACTION
IN SENATE
EXPECTED .
A. F. of L. Approves Measure;
Both Houses Are Trying
To Adjourn Tonight
w. X. HUTCHINSON
BY International News Service


without a record vote, and In
almost record speed, the House
to-day passed the joint resolution
authorizing the President to ap-
point impartial boards to deal
with labor disputes.
The boards will be empowered
to hold elections Of workers to de-
termine representation and COM
pei attendance of witnesses at
Investigations.
Now Goes to Senate
The resolution now goes to the
Senate, where an earlier agree
ment between Republican and
Democratic leaders preSageS its
early adoption.
Speed with which the House
acted bore testimony to the anx-
iety of Congress to adjourn. It
was declared passed by Speaker
Rainey as members talked among
themselves, many not knowing or
apparently caring what action
was taken.
Representative Byrns Of TenneS-
see, majority leader, explained the
boards named by the President
would have authority to issue regu.
lationS only with reference to In
vestigating labor disputes, and
that no compulsory arbitration is
provided. The measure, he added,
"doeS little more than reenact
powers the President already has"
Has Green's Approval
After a telephone conversation
with President William Green, of
the American Federation Of Labor,
Representative Connery Cd Of
Massachusetts,, said:
''Mr. Green asked me to say
that the American Federation Of
Labor would prefer the original
Wagner bill, but at this late
day would ask friends Of labor
to vote against it."
Closing Speeded
Possibility Of an adjournment
tonight came with startling
SuddennesS after Republican
leaders of the Senate reached an
accord with the President on the
labor conciliation measure. Some
leaders insisted, however, that ad-
journment must wait because OF
opposition to some Of the PreSi"
dents legislation.
Both House and Senate faced a
long legislative day. The Senate
met at 9 o'clock, since it must pass
both the labor and housing meas
ures. The House previously enact
ed the housing bill.
Both must give final approval
to a conference report on the
1850 million dollar deficiency ap-
priation bill, which carries huge
sums for unemployment and
drought relief. Minor bills prob
ably will be slipped through in the
closing hours.
uses OIpAUm1Cy
The labor conciliation measure
developed from a departure in the
Presidents usual methods Of deal
ing with Congress. Instead Of
sending the bill to Congress for.
mally and using the power Of the
Administration to force its enact.
ment, he switched to diplomatic
negotiations. He first sent copy
Of the resolution privately to his
own leaders. It then was sub
mitted to Republican leaders. The
negotiations lasted two days, with
both sides suggesting amend
mentS. Finally, all agreed on a
final draft, thus insuring its enact.

TARIFF BILL TO
Be PASSED OVER
SENATE HEADS
Market Bill Will Also Be
Enacted Before End
of the Session

Washington, April 2-(UP)-
Enactment of tariff and stock mar
ket legislation before congress ad-
journs was predicted to-day by
democratic leaders. Republicans
felt that the tariff bill would be
approved by the senate despite all
the opposition they could muster.
Majority Leader Joseph T. Rob-
inson declared that democrats
would line UP almost solidly for the
Roosevelt-Hu plan for reciprocal
trade agreements incorporated in
the tariff bill which has passed the
house and which will provoke
more senate discussion than any
measure still Ito be disposed of.
Robinson said he thought the
senate also would approve a bill
for stock market regulation.
Indicating an intention to force
action on the F1etcher-Rayburn
bill, Chairman Duncan u. Fletcher
of the senate banking committee
said:
There has been too much fool
in garound with the stock market
bill. I'm going to close considera-
ton and have the committee re-
poIt 1T lHS SchoIo' NCiJ HhSiS
this week."
An influential senate republican,
promising stubborn fight against
thetariff bill, conceded it's event
ual passage.
Senator Gerald P. Nye, republic
can, N. D., agreed with this view.
I'll vote against the tariff but
it probably will pass" Nye said.
Senator Clarence C. Dill, demo-
crat, Washington, represented a
sideof the tariff question which is
being discussed on the democratic
side.
There will be quite a fight to
have specific rates come back to
congress for ratification" he said.

TEXAS OIL GIANT
SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN HARNESSED
Petroleum Industry on the
Way to Ruin Until
Block Came
BY JACK DISCO
United Press Staff Correspondent

(Untte0 Press stan COEreSpOnueutD
Dallas, Tex, April 2-(UP) - A
new era in the petroleum industry
appeared today as combination
of forces moved toward control OF
giant that, in three years, almost
crushed the life out of the Oil
world.
The giant is the east Texas oil
field.
When the east Texas pool was
discovered it was hailed as the
greatest in petroleum history. Soon
the cheers gave way to wailings.
Hundreds upon thousands of bar
!. rels of crude be1ched forth un-
bridled from the field, and as the
oil flowed prices dipped.
Panic-stricken operators, REIN
ers and distributors all over the
country were effected. as were
world markets.
Crude oil which not long before
had sold for as high as SO barrel
dipped to low of 10 cents bar
rel.
Oil can't be produced profita bly,.
no matter how great the supply,
for 10 cents a barrel, or for any
sum near that figure.
Action to correct the situation
was taken but it proved ineffective.
The Texas railroad commission;
which has jurisdiction over oil
matters in the state turned to
what appeared the only solution
.proration.
PROBATION orders were issued
bIyt all were violated because the
Producers of hot or illegal oil
d al tho m iScinn and
went on producing the enormous
quantities that were undermining
the world oil price structure.
The situation became SO alarm
ing that the federal government
ana the president took hand.
President Roosevelt issued an
executive order banning hot oil
shipments from interstate COM
merce. The department of interior
placed agents in the field to see
that the order was enforced.
But a federal court decision held
the agents were without jurisdic-
ton.
simultaneously, however, with
the ruling that blocked the federal
government came another federal
court decision unfolding the valid
ity of the Texas commissions or
ders.
Even that was ineffective. Valid
or not the orders were violated.
It remained for the Texas legis-
lature to provide the commission
with what Is proving an effective
weapon in the battle for conserva-
ton. 1t enacted law making pro-
baton violation a felony punish
able by heavy fines and lmprison-
ment.
In consequence "hot" oil produc-
ton is being greatly curbed. The
major companies have cooperated
in that they haye agreed to turn
over to independent refiners one
fifth Of their production at the pre-
vailing price of 81 per barrel.
: If any Independent refinery de-
clines the offer, but continues to
operate. it Immediately will be evil
dent that that company is obtain
ing ''hot" oil, which still Is selling
at beggars' prices.
Illegal oil still Is flowing in east
Texas but the traffic Is on the
wane. r. D. Parker, the railroad
commissions chief supervisor. be-
lieves the estimated 10000 to 5O,-
900 barrels now produced daily

The White House children, still
"Sistie" and ,"Buzzie' Dali despite
their protest against the nicknames
won permission to-day to watch
the annual Easter egg rolling on
the White House lawn.
"Sistie" just recovered from a
measles attack, wasn't considered
well enough to engage in vigorous
egg rolling but as it was a fine
bright day she and her brother
were given permission to watch
from the south portico with their
grandmother, Mrs Franklin D..
Roosevelt.
Thousands of children and adults
too, were to pack the White House
grounds. Recent egg rollings have
been marred by rain. The children,
dressed in their best Easter clothes
and carrying huge baskets of gau-
dy eggs began arriving early.
According OF the traditions of
the fete, adults were admitted to
the grounds only when accompan-
led by a child. There were many
Washington youngsters, none too
scrupulous, who planned to trade
on their youth for the day and es-
cort adults past the guards for
the fee of a quarter or a half
dozen Jolly pops.
