"Starve" Edict Defied
As Battle Lines
Are Drawn

NEW YORK, Aug. IL Q.N.SD.
Picketing and persuasion-twin
weapons of union labor-were
hurled with the full force of disci-
plined organization into the battle
today against President Roosevelt's
security wages" on WPA projects.
Armed with banners protesting
the Administration ultimatum
that WPA wage scales will not be
raised, flying squadrons of union
business agents descended on every
Works Progress Administration
project in New York.
, Project Resumed
The leaders of the strike, meet
ing in last-minute war council, an
nounced grimly that by nightfall
there would not be single man
of the $4,000 skilled workers on
WPA jobs still at his task.
Despite the logged determina'
ton of the labor command, work
was resumed, however, on the
Astor low-rent housing project,
which was forced to shutdown by
the strike last week.
Landon w. Post. tenement
house commissioner in charge Of
the project, declared that work
was humming ahead at full speed.
He said:
"As far as am concerned
the strike Is broken"
MASS PICKETING
He was backed up in his declara.
ton by John Campion, superin-
tendent of the job. Campion
further announced that he would
not permit union business agents
to come on the project and at
tempt to persuade the workers to
lay down their tools. He said:
"They got away with it last
week, but no more"
Mass picketing of every WPA
project in the city was decided
upon at the meeting of the "strike
strategy" committee, which is act"
ing as general staff for the battle.

CLASS SHIFT

Change for Those

Comptroller General John R.
McCarl blocked an attempt by
the War Department to extend
classification to several groups
Of ordnance workers in a decision
made public today.
The decision was rendered in
answer to memorandum from
the Secretary of War and letter
from the chief of ordnance, in
which permission was asked to

workers engaged in munition

ton depotS, according to the

The Comptroller General, how.

and that the War Departments
action in classifying such field

Mr.. McCarl pointed out that
there are a number of bills now

that until they are enacted they

FIGHT AWAITS
COAL BILL
INH0USE
Measure Is Reported
By Committee In
Close Vote

The Guffey-Snyder bill, setting
up a little NRA" for the bitumi.
nous coal industry, was ordered
reported today by the House
Ways and Means committee. The
vote was IL to IL, with two vot-
ing present.
The committee decision was q
victory for President Roosevelt,
who has strongly urged passage
Of the measure to prevent a
threatened strike in the industry.
Bitter Fight Looms
The vote. however, was unex-
pectedly close and presaged a
bitter battle on the floor of the
House.
On the first test of strength
among Ways and Means commit
tee Democrats last week the vote
was. 10 to against the bill. A
switch of one vote with support
of one Republican was said to
be responsible for the commit
tees favorable action on the bill
today.
The vote indicated that II
Democrats favored the measure
and ceven either opposed it or re-
fused to vote while one Republi-
can favored it and six opposed 1t.
Comes Up This Week
The measure is expected to be
brought before the House this
week. Senate leaders have as
sured House leaders that an at
tempt will be made to pass the
bill in that body.
The bill which sets up a code
for the soft coal industry has
been attacked as unconstitutional
on the ground that it is the first
step in naturalization of the
coal industry, and would raise
prices.

CIeveIand's Comeback
Seen As Precedent
By Ex-President
(Continusd from Page -

. (Continusd from Page -
executive director of the Republi.
can National Committee, has been
taking among some 1000 county
chairmen, city leaders and So
called Young Republicans" Mr..
Lucas poll, a third completed, dis
closed that Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho, is favored as q
nominee by the grass rooters, !"
that Col. Frank Knox. Chicago
newspaper publisher, is second
choice, and Governor "Alf" Ian
don of Kansas, is third. Mr..
Hoover was shown to be running
in sixth place, with Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michi-
gan and Col. Frank o. Lowden OF
Illinois preceding him.
Convention Struggle
And Mr.. Hoover was not too
good a sixth, at that. In the
partially completed poll, Senator
Borah had some ESQ votes
against So for Mr.. Hoover. That
gives some indication of the way
the Republican grass rooters"
regard the former President.
Nevertheless, good many OBJ
servers foresee bitter struggle
in the Republican convention for
the nomination next June. Mr..
Hoover's friends are numerous
and they are loyal. A great many
delegates to the convention next
year will be men who held office
under his administration. More
over, he has a skeleton organlza-
ton that has been merely lying
low since his defeat. And q
skeleton organization is more
than any of the other aspirants
have.
Senator Borah, for example,
has no organization and his nomi"
nation certainly would be OPP
posed by influential Eastern con"
servatives, who have always re-
garded him as being on the radi-
cal fringe of the party, If not
actually q part of it. Borah's
nomination would be q bitter pill
for them to swallow. Also mill
tating against the Idahoan's
chances is the factor of his age.
He recently passed his SEVENTEEN
birthday, and in the event of
nomination and election, he
would be approaching 70 by in
auguration time. Only one man,
william Henry Harrison, ever
attained the Presidency after 10,
and he died a month after as
Stunning office.
Reply Waits
Friends of Mr.. Hoover, includ-
ing some who have recently talked
with him at Palo Alto. assert there
is no doubt whatever of his desire
to essay a political comeback. He
has been impressed, they say, by
the example of Grover Cleveland,
who left the White House badly
defeated man in 1888, only to re-
turn to it in triumph in 1892. Mr..
Hoover has commented on that to
his visitors at Palo Alto. Under
the circumstances, his critical
challenge to the Roosevelt ad'
ministration to define its inten'
tions where the Constitution is
concerned can only be interpreted
as indicating he has reached a de-
cision and determined upon an
issue-the decision to run again,
and preferably the Constitution
as the issue.
