DEMOS CAN'T

Absentees Cause Further
Delay And Bickering
Over Coal Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. up -
Warning democrats on the house
ways and neal committee were
called together again Tuesday to
see if an agreement could be reach
"a on the Guffey bituminous coal
sterilization bill.
The measure has been requested
by President Roosevelt who ex-
pressed a hope that committeeman
would not let doubts as to It's con-
stitutionality stand in the way Of
action. Failure TO get the bill out
of committee in time for action
this session would be considered a
major rebuff to the president.
After three hours Of discussion
Monday with republicans excluded.
it vas reported the democrats were
divided Z TO z on a motion to re-
port the bill to the house with a
recommendation that it pass. -Four
democrats yer absent.
One democratic committeeman
predicted privately that the Cuff
fey bill would never be reported out,
bad politics to send it to the
house floor without any recon-
mendation.
While the bill has been in COM
mittee. MIR. Roosevelt has obtained
the poStponement Of a threatened
strike in the bituminous coal indus
try by asking union leaders to give
congress more time to consider the
Guffey bill.
The legislation would set up a
national bituminous coal commits

wide power over the mines. A board
would regulate hours. wages and
other conditions in the industry.

The lobby committee was in re-
cess Tuesday, though the house
rules committee. also conducting an
investigation into activities in the
utilities bill fight, was called to-
Eether to hear testimony by Ber-
nard B. Robinson OF Chicago.
The deadlock on the utilities bill
remained unchanged Tue S d a Y,

A star rug with points on the out

considered Ruth of managerial timber
and didn't then. They made Bob

When Ruth returned, it was general

Fuchs responded by catching the very

$4,000 to $4,000 year.
Boston, where the fans like their
