Relief
On demand of Democratic lead

On demand of Democratic lead
ers, the House today adopted a
modified "gag" rule designed to
speed passage of President Roose-

relief bill.
The rule, leaders said, assured
Mr.. Roosevelt of complete free
dom in spending the 1000 million
dollars.
Under the rule amendments
"ear marking" the funds are pro-
hibited.
A tempestuous three-hour de-
bate preceded the amendment
stage.
Rebellious Democrats and Re-
publicans planned a fight to
write restricting amendments in
three sections.
Test Vote Taken
Adoption of the rule followed
a test vote Of 256 to 142.
Representative Connery D),
Massachusetts,, planned to lead a
fight to force provisions in the
bill for a 3o-hour week and higher
wages.
Hearings on the bill disclosed
that President Roosevelt plans
q $50 a month average wage for
those on work relief. Represent
ative Connery denounced this as
a "dole and peon wages" declar-
ing that "in my country the Gov
ernment pays $1.20 an hour for
skilled labor on bridge work and
80 cents an hour for unskilled
labor"
Republicans assailed the entire
bill as establishing a dictatorship.
