HARRISON CONFERS.
ON REVISED n. R. A..
Delays Calling Up Bill Pend
ing Discussion With
Finance Group.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Confronted with a growing demand
for restoration of the antitrust laws.
Chairman Harrison today conferred
with his Senate Finance Committee
on what procedure to follow on the
House approved resolution extending
N. r. A. In skeleton form.
The resolution was received from
the House at the opening of the Sen
ate session, but Harrison made no i'm
mediate move to call it up. N. r. A.
foes said they would oppose it.
N. r. A. critics we're ready to ask
that the resolution be referred to the
Finance Committee in an effort to
have it amended to restore the anti
trust laws Whether Harrison would
agree to this depended on the attitude
Of his committee.
Opponents of N. r A. commended the
authority for relaxing the antitrust
laws under agreements between bust
ness leaders for regulation of trade
practices.
Tries to Halt Opposition.
Harrison tried to avert opposition
by contending the antitrust suspen-
sion was eliminated, and that. anyway.
the administration had no intention
of using it. But he made little head
way
Senators Borah. Republican. of
Idaho and others wanting restoration
of the antitrust laws contended they
had the votes to send the resolution
to committee for study.
Senator Long, Democrat, of Louisiana
returned to the Senate today from
Louisiana, augmenting the opposition
forces.
If the legislation should not be pass
ed this week, the remnants of the re-
covery law which the Supreme Court
left when it struck down the vast
code structure would automatically
expire next Sunday at midnight.
Then the leaders would have to
start all over again by drafting a
new law in lieu of the present legis-
lation. which is merely a resolution
repeating some parts of the old
N. I. R. A. and continuing others.
Coal Strike Impends..
A twin worry for administration
leaders, In addition to N. r. A., was
the soft coal crisis, in which a strike
call to 100000 men is impending for
next Monday, unless the problem Is
solved. However, leaders saw hope
of solution in an announcement by
Charles ONeill, chairman of the
Bituminous Coal Producers Legisla-
tive Committee, that the committee
had reached an accord with the United
Mine Workers on proposed revision
of the Guffey coal Sterilization bill.
This measure, permitting price-fix-
ing. embodies regulation which has
been likened to little N. r. A." ats
hackers say it would aim to give the
producers SUFFICIENT income to paw the
wages and provide for the hours de-
manded by the union.
