House sponsors of the Admins.
tration's air mail bill today de-
cided to modify drastic provisions
barring lines whose contracts were
Cancelled from submitting new
bids.
This action was taken at a con-
ference attended by Representa-
tive Mead CD of New York,
chairman of the House Post Of
flee Committee, officials of the
Postoffice Department and com.
mittee members, in the face Of re-
ports that a substitute measure
was being prepared by Administra-
ton leaders.
Must "CIean House"
Chairman Mead said the bill
will be amended to allow all air
lines to bid for new mail contracts
if they Cleaned house" He said
the companies must rid them
selves Of all officials found guilty
Of illegal practices in securing
former contracts.
The provision barring all lines
owned, or partly owned, by any
other aviation group from bidding
also will be tempered to allow
other aviation groups to possess
10 per cent of the bidders stock.
The rate to be paid was altered
in regard to excess mail trans
ported. To secure new mail con.
tracts, the companies must submit
bids which cannot exceed 30 cents
per mile for 800 pounds of mail.
Other Rate Changes
On mail carried beyond it's con-
tract requirement, the carrier
would receive one-tenth of its bid
for each 100 pounds.
All rates paid would be ef-
fective for three years, after
which the Interstate Commerce
Commission would fix payments.
Another change hinged on pro-
posed placing Of Army co-pilots

strongly protested by private
lines. It was proposed that q

His charges were made during

Of closed banks.

Three of those conservators to-
day are trustees Of the new insti-

In a fervent plea for relief Of

he would not risk a prediction of
success.
Labor Chiefs Are Silent
Participants in the labor execu-
tives' White House conference re-
fused to talk as they emerged
from the conclave. From other
sources it was learned that Mr..
Roosevelt directed them to act to
avert a strike, and backed this up
by outlining his powers to compel
peaceful compromise.
President Roosevelt holds a "big
stick" in the form Of his powers
to license industry under the in
dustrial recovery act.
The President was thoroughly
advised as to his authority in the
dispute. He called Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings in for an hours
conference after the automobile
executives left.
Few Clouds" Says Cummings
Asked if he thought President
Roosevelt would win out in his
move for peace, the Attorney Gen.
eral finally said:
81 don't see many clouds up
there in the sky"
Mr.. Green and his colleagues
come to the White House deter
mined to ask that the President
use his licensing power to settle
the trouble if the automobile
executives refused to yield to
labor's demands.
The labor people want recog.
milton of workers representatives
for collective bargaining whether
those representatives be A. F. Of
l.. men or not.
The executives assert they will
bargain collectively with the men,
but not with the A. F. Of l..
I Compromise Expected
The impression prevailed that
the President has prepared a
specific compromise program
which he will ask both sides to
adopt.
Today's conference will close
the scheduled meetings of the
President with both sides in the
dispute. If other meetings are
held. they are yet to be an
nounced.
A definite announcement Of
some kind may be expected at
the conclusion of today's meet
ing. After the meeting with the
auto executives the White House
announced that the problem was
thoroughly "canvassed" and that
the President asked the auto
chiefs for certain information,
