Battle For Speakership In New
Congress Gets Well Under Way
Byrns OF Tennessee And
Rayburn OF Texas, Two
Leading cOntenders, AL
ready On Ground
By HERBERT PLUMMER
(Dy Associated 1'ressl


WASHINGTON. Nov. 2s.-
With little more than a month re
manning before the 74th Con,
gress is convened, the battle Over
leadership for the session has set
tied down in earnest.
Two of the leading contender.
for speaker already are on the
ground in Washington, each moi
saying much publicly but both
confident of their claims. They are
Joe Byrns of Tennessee and Sam
Rayburn of Texas.
The tall, rangy Byrns, demo
cratic leader of the house, hasten
ed to the capital following a visit
to his home town of Nashville by
President Roosevelt on the occa-
sion of the chief executives call
at the shrine of Andrew Jackson.
Rayburn had been in Washington
for several days prior to Byrn's
arrival.
From present indications the
caucus which will determine who
is to receive the majority of the
1922 democratic votes in the house
for speaker will not be held I'M
til day or two before January 3,
but the battle will increase in in
tensity from now on.
Against Geographic Motives
Perhaps the most novel feature
in the democratic leadership fight
is the plea of Representative Cliff
Woodrum of Virginia against
geographic considerations in any
house realignment which might
take place.
Woodrum, chairman of the in
dependent offices appropriations
subcommittee, processes to be
greatly interested in sugges-
ton by colleagues that he run for
floor leader" of the house.
He is the first thus far to be
only interested" in second place.
The dozen or more who figure in
the running have announced their
candidates. for speaker, hoping
perhaps that lightning may strike
close enough for them to get out
with something.
Woodrum'S argument against
geographic considerations centers
around his belief that whether a
man is or is not from the south
should not be the determining fac
tor.
"He should be selected by his
colleagues" says the Virginian,
because of their confidence and
belief in his willingness to carry
the flag"

BLUE EAGLE DONS
VEIL OF SECRECY
AS RUMORS FLY
WITH RECOVERY ACT Ex-
PIRiNc NEXT JUNE. NO ONE
KNOWS WHAT Is ouTLIN-
Ed FOR FUTURE
BY HERBERT PLuMMER

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-NS
agency Of the new deal" is cloak
ed in more secrecy, or its future
more uncertain at persent. than
the once all-important NRA.
The national industrial reeov.
cry act creating NRA will expire
next June i6 unless renewed by
congress, bat 40 one seems to
know what the future holds for
the Blue Eagle.
Members Of NIRB which sue
eceaed General Hugh Johnson as
administrator have been at work
for something like two months
supposedly engaged in the job of
salvaging. but no one knows what
has been done.
They meet daily in secret, have
conferred with the president sew
eral times, but that is all the pub
Tic knows of their operations. The
famous "gOld fish bowl of the
johnson era at NRA has disap-
psared completely.
Studying The Blue Eagle
This official silence on the part
Of the administrators has given
rise to all sorts of rumors as to
what the future has in store for
MIRA.
One day rumOr viii have it that
NIRB is all set to scrap NRA. An
ether day the report gets around
that AL the priee-fixing and pro-
duetion-control provisions of the
codes are 10 be discarded. Again
Il Is heard that plans are being
laid to step-up in industrial pro-
duction, with the government
guaranteeing against loss.
The most plausible explanation
Of what actually is happening be-
hind the scenes at NRA is that
members Of the recovery board
are doing some intense studying
Of NRA and the Blue Eagle. The
growth Of the two has been enor-
nous, so much so, in fact, that
the result, some say, is a hodge
podge of contradictions and prob
lens.
Codes were thrown together
hastily and without careful study
Of thsir effect. NIRB is now going
about the task Of attempting to
restore order and is saying moth
ing until the job is completed.
They Want IL To Stay
There are. few, however, who
believe that NRA is to be strapped
entirely. They are convinced
enough good has been found in
NRA 10 insure its continuance in
some form after June 16, 1885.
when the act expires.
Several things appear to make
this certain.
For one thing labor viii de.
mand Of the next congress thai
Section IA Of the recovery act be
made permanent or retained il
some slightly modified form .AnC
labor Is confident it has the neces
sary number of votes.
Then. too, industry itself il
several important instances hai
no desire to return to the old or.
der.
The administration wants NRA
10 stay because it provides TIT
machinery for keeping in cOntac
with industry. If the time come
when 1t thinks it necessary TO
the government to assume a tight
CT grip on industry to speed VI
recovery. NRA might provide tn,
means.

so far as the oil industry is con
cerned, it became known today
in a decision by tie Petroleum
Labor Policy Board that company
unions may not represent EN-
ployes who have chosen other
methods of representation.
The case involved the Mag
nolia Petroleum Company. In all
it's plants except Fort Worth
Tex, the company unions were
accepted, but 83 of the lot EN-
ployes at the Fort Worth plant
insisted on being represented by
a union affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
The company contended that
as other groups accepted the
company union, the Fort Worth
group should do likewise, but the
board held that the Fort Worth
employees may choose their own
representatives.
