PRESIDENT MAY
ACT ON STEEL

New differences may cause Pres
1dent Roosevelt to take over
negotiations for extension Of the
NRA steel code, it was learned
yesterday.
It was made known by recovery
administration general counsel,
Donald Richberg, that industrial
and NRA executive failed to
agree on several problems after
many conferences on q revised
draft of the code which was to
have become effective with the
expiration of the present agree
ment, May 81. He said:
eve have settled what we
can. We will make our recon-
mendatiOnS to the President and
he will make . decision on the
code extension"
The matters at issue include
basing point policies, discount
rates, water and rail rates fol
steel, price provisions, code ad
miniStration, and company unions

a provision stating that the NRA
Should not permit monopoly"
Nothing was said in the act, how.
ever, about restraint Of trade.
It is frankly conceded by most au.
thorities that the codes do re-
strain trade, in the sense that
they lay down rules Of fair com.
petition, establish minimum prices,
etc.
The commission has been
rather uncertain as to how far
it can go without incurring the
accusation that it is sabotaging
the most important part OF the
recovery program.
In its report on the steel code,
the commission virtually ad-
mitted it's uncertainty, but at the
same time limited that it was
not without other powers.
Old Policies at Variance
The steel code, the commission
reported, was distinctly at vari-
ance with hitherto accepted poll
cies of governmental concern over
the maintenance of fair competi-
tion." .G
But, it went on:
''It has been assumed thus
far that the departure has the
sanction of congressional
mandate embodied in the ma
tiOnal industrial recovery act.
The test of whether such =
sanction is actually present in
that act can, of course, be sub
mitted to the courts for de-
termination. But other means
for the solution of such an
issue are also available"
The commission did not state
the nature of the "other means" {"
but obviously antitrust complaints
were meant.
Costs Rise for Hopkins
Mr.. Darrow'S charges that the
NRA codes have hit the consumer
by increasing the cost Of living
received striking, if indirect, sup
port today from an unexpected
Source-Harry L. Hopkins, Fed
eral Relief Administrator.
Mr.. Hopkins revealed that
things purchased for Federal re-
lief had risen 20 per cent in
price, although he would not
admit that NRA was responsible.
In fact, Hopkins did not men

ConciIiator Fails to Bring Ice
Cream Men Together, But
Hopes for End Soon

Hope for adjustment by night
fall Of strikes tying up ice cream
plants and the building trades
was shattered today with the
revelation that conciliation con-
terences have been postponed.
Howard T. Colvin, director Of
conciliation of the Department
Of Labor, stated today that he is
hopeful for adjustment, but that
so far definite conferences be-
tween the union men and the en-
ployers have not been arranged.
Conference Tomorrow
Mr.. Colvin expects to hold a
joint conference tomorrow to
effect a compromise on the ice
cream plant striker, which in
wolves two plants. The workmen,
already on 40-hour week, are
demanding a $3.50 weekly wage
increase.
Deadlocked by refusal of both
contractors and carpenters to
compromise on the wage demands
OF the laborers, the building trades
strike continued today, with Mr..
Colvin holding out hope for the
possibility of a joint conference
sometime this week.
Carpenters Hold Out
The carpenters, who have prac-
tically paralyzed building opera
tlons in Washington, are holding
out for $1.3712 an hour and the
contractors thus far have refused
to pay more than $1.10 per hour.
Mr.. Colvin also hopes to arrange
q conference this week to end the
plaSterers strike. These workmen
are seeking SITS an hour, with a
Six-hour day, and the employers
are holding out for an eight-hour
day, with $3.50 an hour.

,KICKBACKPROBE
DELAY SEEN,
IN SENATE
Committee to Wait Until Other
Investigations Are Asked
SO as to AIIot Funds
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

Indications that at least another
week may elapse before the Senate
Committee on Audit and Control
will act on resolutions calling for
Investigations into the "kick back"
racket and alleged monopolistic
practices in the milk industry were
shown yesterday.
One member Of the committee
asserted the belief that the Audit
and Control group would likely
wait until it was reasonably Ger.
tain all proposals calling for ex-
penditures from the Senate con.
tingent fund for probes had been
referred to the committee, SO
that group could decide which Of
the proposals it considers most
urgent and divide the funds 40.
cordingly.
$15O,OOO for Probes
He pointed out that in the leg.
islative appropriations bill, now in
conference between the House
and Senate, $150,00O is proposed
to be allotted to the Senate con-
tingent fund for expenses for in
vestigations of various sorts.
No doubt a goodly sum will be
allowed by the committee for the
proposed investigation of the
munitions industry, due to the
fact that only a few days ago
President Roosevelt mesSaged
Congress recommending that that
inquiry be carried forward with
full force and vigor.
It also is reasonably certain
that the committee will provide a
tidy sum for the campaign and
telephone investigations, since
these have a strong backing in
the Senate.
It is easily possible that the
munitions and telephone probes
might win between $4,000 and
$4,000 each, since they will neces-
state the investigating commit
tees travelling over the country to
hear witnesses, and the campaign
investigating also is likely to call
for an expenditure of nearly that
amount.
$4,000 Is Sought
In the resolution proposing the
probe into the "kick back" prac.
tices, $25.O0O has been asked, but
this may be cut down by the
audit and control group.
Even if no further inquiries are
proposed, it is believed likely that
little of the $150,000 will be left
after funds are allowed for the
four Investigations named.
