lief parley included Daniel Bell, direc-
tor of the budget; Charles West, I'M
der-secretary of interior; Corrington
Gill, assistant of Hopkins; Fred Iron

Walker, and Col. Horatio Hackett,
chief of housing in the PWA.
Mr.. Roosevelt was determined to
have peace, and told those present that
the prime necessity at this time is to
make jobs quickly, always keeping in
mind the idea of turning workers back
to private industry as business war
rants. This looked like victory for
Hopkins, who favors quick jobs, over
Ickes, champion of permanent public
works. The President has declared
that he hopes 3,5O0,00O> persons can be
removed from the relief rolls and put
to work by the first of November.
T EGAL attack on the Guffey soft
~ coal act has been opened by 16
coal companies operating in Harlan
county, Kentucky, in Federal court at
Louisville. They brought suit for in
junction against its enforcement, charg-
ing that it violates the federal Consti-
tuition in these ways:
/. 1t violated the fifth amendment,
which forbids taking property without
due process of law.
2. 1t violated the tenth amendment,
which reserves to the states, or to the
people, all rights not granted the fed
eral government or forbidden the
states.
g. 1t attempts to delegate legislative
power.
4. The section levying Is per cent
tax on all coal production, with a 90
per cent refund to producers submit
ting to the code provided by the act,
is IAN unconstitutional attempt on
the part of congress, under the guise
of taxation, to punish those producers
of bituminous coal who are unwill-
ing to surrender their constitutional
rights"
5. Congress has no jurisdiction over
and no power to legislate upon certain
matters covered by the act or the code.
The companies declared they would
refuse to submit to the act and the
code it authorizes.
Former Federal Judge Charles 1.
Dawson filed the action as counsel for
the Plaintiffs. Judge Dawson recently
left the bench to re-enter private law
practice after declaring demonstrations
al the MIRA and other New Deal
measures.

0VXIE WENT to war on foot, and
w we're Joining the parade the
same way" declared about $50 of the
grizzled veterans who attended the an
nual encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic in Grand Rapids, Mich.
So these sturdy old men marched in
the big parade while the rest, num-
bering some 250, rode in automobiles.
Here were all that remained of the
hundreds of thousands who answered
the call to the colors in Civil war days,
save for few who were kept at home
by extreme age and illness. Some of the
states had NO representatives in the
line, but their flags were carried never
theless. From other states there were
but one or two. 1t was pathetic but
inspiring procession, watched by thou
sands whose eyes were dimmed by tears
and escorted by Sons OF Veterans,
American Legionnaires and Veterans
of the Spanish war.
Obey Nelson, 81, of Slater, Iowa,

proposed reunion at Gettysburg next

was discussed, and Commander Stacey
made it plain that the affair would not
be held under the official auspices of
the Grand Army. The plan originated
in Pennsylvania.

ID FACTION of American business and
IN financial men to President Roose-
velt's latest public statement that his
basic program has reached substan-
tial completion and industry will have
a breathing spell ran the gamut be-
tween mild hope and downright I'M
belief. Those who permitted them
selves to be quoted were generally
extremely cautious In their express
sions, but there was usually a vein Of
skepticism in their remarks. Wall
Street brokers were gladdened by
squirt Of trading at higher prices, but
bankers were more than doubtful, and
economists insisted that a balanced
budget, which wasn't mentioned In the
Presidents letter to Roy Howard, pub
Usher, was a prime requisite.
Silas Strawn, former president Of
the Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States, said: Business men
generally will say that the improve
ment in some lines Of business has
been in spite of, rather than because
of, the activities of the administra-
tion."
Politicians regarded the letter as
Mr.. Roosevelt's opening Of his cam
paign for reelection, and praised or
decried it according to their party affili-
atoms. Frank Knox of the Chicago
Daily News, a potential candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomina-
ton, called it "just another promise"
and set forth the many campaign
promises which Mr.. Roosevelt has
failed to keep. Senator Black of Ala
bama said the statement was "a won
derfully clear explanation Of his pro-
gram, its original aims and its ex-
ecution. 1t should be call to those
engaged in business to cooperate in
further national progress"
Howard had written the President
that many business men had become
convinced that there could be no real
recovery until the fears of business
have been allayed through the grant
ing of a breathing spell to industry
and a recess from further experimental
ton until the country can recover its
losses"
In a long letter the President re-
piled that the legislative program Of
his administration had reached sub
stantial completion and "the breath
ing spell of which you speak is here
decidedly So"
