Even without complications from
the supreme court decision in the
Schechter (NRA test) case, fill
buster by the senate anti-NRA
group, which would let the act ex-
pire and the code structure collapse
after June 16, each day becomes a
more menacing possibility.
The senate, with approval of its
Administration leaders, have over
whelmingiy adopted the Clark res
olution for nine-month continue
ance which wuold effectively kill
MIRA. The house is adopting the
ADMINISTRATORS plan continuing
MIRA for two years with important
changes.
Chairman Pat Harrison of the
senate finance committee insists
that the house measure must be
considered as new legislation in
stead of being taken to confer
once, which means throwing 1t
into his committee for bitter,
perhaps protracted fight. @
Roosevelt's previous failure to
make fighting issue of NRA has
been largely responsible for the
present predicament. Harrison and
such outright NRA foes as Clark
OF Missouri and Hastings Of Del
aware were allowed to take charge
OF the situation and loyal admin
istration senators to support the
Clark resolution with the impress
sion that it didn't ruin NRA or
seriously bother the White House.
II. n. Seems Indifferent
Whatever the intensity of
Roosevelt's desires, the impress
sion did get around that NRA's
death would cause him no great
pain.
Furthermore, the senate's posi-
tion may be attributed to a general
public apathy about NRA, which
was more conspicuous than either
the militant opposition or the con-
siderable but often iukewarm sup
port for 1t.
Industry was divided as to NRA
and labor was busy with the Wag-
ner labor disutes bill. A flood of
complaints and lack of enforce
ment which had long since stran-
g1ed the recovery bird in m n y
communities were co-factors with
an apparently widespread belief
that MIRA hadn't been of SUFFICIENT
about.

ifest gains of industry, retali
trade, and labor in the last two
years have been due to NRA.
The Clark resolution continues
MIRA until April, DEGREES that mo
price-fixing" shall be sanctioned
under any code, that no code shall
apply to anyone whose business
is wholly intrastate," and that all
codes shall expire within 80 days
unless meanwhile reviewed and
made to conform to those stand
ards.
Time Limit Is Fatal
The time limit, demoralizing and
sure to discourage business cooper
alton, alone would give the last
punch to a code structure on the
verge Of collapse. =
The "price.fixing" provision is
confusing, since prices Of all ar
ticles for sale are fixed. And the
question of what is covered by "in-
trastate commerce is SO contro-
versial as to enable almost anyone
TO claim exemption and to wreck
nearly all codes.

codes-at least covering wages,
hours, and child labor-except in
industries mot subject to federal
powers over interstate commerce"

price fixing is forbidden except
where it is found necessary in the
public interest to prohibit discrim-
inatory price-cutting or otherwise
to protect small industries against
discrimination or oppression,
Penalties Are Provided
The federal trade commission
would enforce code provisions
as to unfair trade practices" and
code violations. Violations of wage
or hour provisions and dishonest
or fraudulent trade practices pre-
viously outlawed by courst or VITO
would he subject to $500 fine for
each day and each violation.
Governmental authority and en-
forcement would be limited to pub
lie officials or agencies and not
granted to any code authorities.
The president would be required to
review all codes and make them
fit this bill within six months.
The question Is: Can a compro.
mise between those two measures
be reached?
Still another complication In
this MIRA legislative mess Is the
fact Tn immediate expiration

agencies created under MIRA as

 As to the sewage disposal sys- tenn, where water under pressure
 is available this system usually re-
 quires a septic tank followed by
 teaching cesspools or tile fields.
 The septic tank should not be less
 than 300 gallons water capacity even for small families. Septic
 tanks require periodic cleaning to insure effective waste disposal. Soil
 tests and water seepage observa- tions may be used to determine the
 sizes of cesspools or tile lines need ed. The latter should be laid in gravel or broken stone to increase
 the. .seepage area. Underlying rock,
 high ground water or impervious
 soil may make satisfactory water
 carriage sewage disposal impossi-
 ble, MT. Scott warned. Where
 water pressure is not available, sanitary outdoor privies may be constructed.
 Garbage may be satisfactorily disposed of in rural areas, he said,
 by feeding to animals, by burial or sometimes by burning. Exposed garbage piles result in fly breeding and may attract rats. Manure piles are ideal fly breeding places and
 during the fly season should be re-
 moved and ploughed into the ground once or twice week, or
 else stored in covered pits.

 More than 100 of the strikers took their place at the gate at 10 o'clock last night relieving a detail that had been stationed there from the earlier part of the evening. The relief delegation held their watch until 8 o'clock this morning at which time another crew reported to remain at the plant all day.
 Shifts were assigned today for the picket line which will be at the local factory all night tonight and assignments were also given for "A hour picketing each day until a settlement has been reached, or President Philip Lipschitz fulfills a threat made two weeks ago that the firm would move elsewhere.
