PAY COMPROMISE
PLAN IS PUSHED
Fourth Rise in Food Prices
Reported as House
Democrats Act.

Democratic House leadeSe Yesterday
pushed plans looking to compromise
with the Senate in the Government
pay-veterans' benefit conflict. to the
accompaniment of a report from the
Labor Department showing the fourth
rise in food prices in two months, for
a total increase in IL months of 20
per cent
Concurrently, in the Senate, Senator
Reed, Republican, Of Pennsylvania. at
tacking opposition monetary policies,
predicted that Federal employees will
have to come to Congress before long
to ask for a substantial salary increase
over and above any contemplated
restoration of the existing cut. to
Offset the effect OF devaluation of the
dollar.
The soldier bonus issue also bobbed
up, advocates of payment holding a
meeting to discuss strategy in view OF
the debate looming tomorrow.
In seeking to straighten out the
pay-veteran benefit tangle. the Demo-
cratic Steering Committee of the
House late yesterday recommended
that the Democratic members follow
the program of the House leaders in
the caucus tomorrow afternoon, BY
adopting a rule binding themselves
to send the independent Offices ap-
preparation bill to conference when
it comes up Tuesday, without any
preliminary vote on the pay or vet
erans' benefit amendments, and to
give the conferees authority to con-
slider new legislation in the Senate
amendments
Assurance for Tuesday.
An earlier conference between
House Leader Byrns and Chairman
Buchanan of the House Appropria-
tions Committee had given assur-
ance that the' bill would be brought
back into the House Tuesday with
out any recommendations. and Byrns
then will move to send it to con-
ference The meeting of the Demo-
cratic Steering Committee was called
by Chairman Crosser to strengthen
the efforts Of administration leaders
to get the bill into conference. 1t
is then planned that the Senate and
House conferees can consult with
President Roosevelt in an effort to
work out a compromise. 1t is hoped
that such a compromise can be re-
ported to another Democratic caucus
before being laid before the House
as a whole but it is realized this
would be fought by the Republicans.
In the meantime the Republican
leadership is planning to hold ses-
sion of its Steering Committee. How
ever, Minority Leader Smell, Repre-
sentative Martin of Massachusetts,. q
member of the Rules Committee, and
other Republican leaders protest that
they are ready to vote for the full
pay restoration and substantially for
the amendments as sent to the House
from the Senate.
In undertaking a second caucus.
the House leadership recognizes that
it is impossible to pass another gag
rule, so is adopting this strategy to
get the bill into conference. The
plan is that either or 10 Senate
and House conferees then could take
up the controversial matters with the
President and reach an agreement
on a plan the Chief Executive would
approve.
Democratic leaders expressed q
rather uncertain hope that the Sec-
ond caucus might possibly be more
successful than the one Thursday

He recommended early passage of
laws bringing steamship lines and

Declared Menace.
This situation, he said, has been
growing more acute and mot only
imperis the financial stability of the
national transportation system. but 1t
threatens the wages and working con-
ditions of labor and it creates a de-
moralization in rates and charges
which in the long run is a menace to
commerce and industry
Following closely recommendations
made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission two years ago in report
ing to Congress its study of the bus
ard truck problem, Eastman attached
to his report a bill for regulation of
motor vehicles, one for regulation of
steamship and other domestic water
carriers and another making minor
amendments to the interstate COM
merce act
The most important change in the
latter bill would modify the long and
short haul section to give the commits
sion more latitude in allowing rail-
roads to lower rates for long trips.
