Republicans against the compromise
labor bill remained the one threat to
quick adjournment. Senator La Fol-
lette, Republican, Of Wisconsin, and
others demanded passage of the side
tracked Wagner labor disputes bill,
for which the new measure Is a sub
stitute
Norris Favors Delay.
Although he introduced the Wag-
ner bill in an attempt to replace the
administration backed compromise
he pledged that he would make no
unduly long speech today.
1T looks like we are going to get
out tomorrow night" Speaker Rainey
said last evening.
Senator Norris. Republican, of Ne
braska, said, however:
I'VE don't have to adjourn tomor-
row. We ought not to adjourn to-
morrow. We ought to stay here and
give serious consideration to these
measures"
The labor compromise-approved
by administration men and regular
Republicans-empowers the President
to name boards to investigate indus
trial disputes and If necessary to hold
secret elections for collective bar

tions, the measure was changed to
limit its life to one year. But the
administration insisted on retaining
a clause interpreted as preserving the
permissive rights of unions as such
to bargain for workers in wage and
hour negotiations.
Vast Power Delegated.
Here are some of the high spots
of the legislative panorama that has
unfolded during the five and half
months of this second session Of the
Seventy-third Congress: .
The President was given vast new
powers to raise or lower tariffs as
much as so per cent in negotiating
reciprocal trade treaties with foreign
nations.
He also received wide control over
the monetary system by the acts
devaluing the gold dollar and empow-
ering him to make silver, eventually,
rs per cent of the monetary stocks.
Broad measures were taken for
control of agriculture through regu-
lation of cotton, sugar and other
basic commodities.
Hundreds Of millions were appro-
priated for direct aid to distress and
billions made available to carry out
the manifold relief program.
Loans to Industry o. KID.

included:
Guaranteeing $4,000, 900 900 in home
loan bonds, $4,000, ,0oo, 900 III farm

900 for cattle and dairy products

Outstanding among regulatory
measures was the Rayburn-Fletcher
bill creating q Federal commission to
supervise the stock exchanges
Another was the Rayburn-Dill act
to bring communications under a
single regulatory agency.
The Congress decided to give IN

~ ERSONAL relations between the
- White House and number Of
Democratic Congressman are
in need of mending.
No one says much about it,
but 1t explains a lot of the inside
troubles the administration has been
having with its legislative program
during the closing days.
There was something of that ele-
ment in the difficulties experienced
with Chairman Smith of the Senate
Agriculture Committee and Chairman
Steagall of the House Banking Com
mittee over the Tugwell nomination
and the housing bill.
No Longer Big Shot.
Ordinarily the chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee is a
fairly big shot as regards agricultural
policies. That has not been so since
Smith became chairman. The origi-
nal A. A. A. bills were introduced and
championed by Floor Leader Robinson
and others last year.
Then, in this session, along came
the cotton bill. If there is one thing
Senator Smith is more interested in
than patronage, it is cotton. His
nickname is Cotton Ed" But, when
the latest A. A. A. cotton bill was
proposed, 1t was not Smith, but Sem
ator Bankhead who undertook the
leadership for the administration.
Mr.. Steagall has had almost the
same experience as chairman of the
House Banking Committee. Speaker
Rainey went out of his way to keep
several administration bills from fall
ing into Mr.. Steagall's hands early
In the session.

Considerable inside political pres

Because Santa Claus believed that
the wet weather which has prevail

his plane, The Press was advised
today that he will travel as far as
Los Angeles by plane and will come
here by automobile tomorrow af-

of Ell Centre as the guest of The
Press and local merchants.
The Press attempted to advise
him that the airport is in excellent
shape for landing but the old gentle
man seems to have his own opinion
about such things and made it plain
that he was not going to take any
chances of getting banged up be-
fore Christmas.

O'Clock Saturday afternoon" he adj
vised and while I am sorry to
have to change from airplane to

CHINA SENDS
ARMY To GET
BANDIT GANG
U. S. Demands Capture OF Men
Responsible For Staying Two
American Citizens

SHANGHAI, Dec. IA. W.P)-The
Chinese national government, act
ing on strong representations from
u. S. consular forces, sent 10000
soldiers today in pursuit of the
bandits who killed two American
missionaries and abducted their in
FAINT daughter.
Spurred by American demands
for swift punishment of the slay-
ers, the government set out to
crush a bandit band estimated to
number at least 5000 desperate
men, although there were only 200
in the group which sacked the
city of Tsingteh and carried off
Mr.. and Mrs. John STAN, and two
month-old Helen STAN.
The bodies of STAN and his wife
were found eight miles from their
mission station. The fate of their
child was not known. There was
no trace of the infant mentioned
in the reports from the harassed
province, from which foreigners
have begun a hasty exodus.
AS they fled westward into in
terror China, the bandits destroyed
roads and bridges, making the
task of their pursuers doubly diff
ficult.
In the same area were the Rev
Erwin A. Kohfield, his wife and
their three children, afraid to leave
the shelter of their mission quar-
ters because of the fear of new
attacks.
The STAINS were captured this
week when the reds, part of the
thousands of irregulars roaming
the Chinese provinces, Staying and
pillaging, captured Tsingteh. A
demand for $4,000 ransom was re-
ceived at the China Inland Mission
headquarters here almost at the
same time as the deaths of the
captives we're announced.
r. A. Bosshardt and A. Hayman,
British subjects, still are in the
hands of the bandits, who sent
Hayman's wife and his children
and Bosshardt's wife to Shanghai
to demand ransom for the mems
release. The same bandits held
Miss Grace Emblem, Oak Park, ILL.,,
for a short time but released her
without payment of ransom.
