New Deal Officials Meet
With Coal Operators and

To Find Plan
COURT SILENT OVER
PRICE-FIXINC PHASE
Decision Raises Speculation,
However, as to Fate of
Other Legislation, Includ-
ing Wagner Labor Rela-

Fate Is Also Debated

Washington, May 19.-(AP)-Post-
mortems on the old Guffey coal con-
trol act and moves to create a new
one occupied the Capital today amid
the din of clashing statements ON
Yesterdays court decisions.
New Deal officials gathered with
some coal operators and mine union
leaders to draft a substitute bill.
Observers understood it would con-
tain some price regulation clauses,
The Supreme Court, in it's opinion
demolishing the old act, did not COM
nit itself on amy attitude toward
price-fixing if enacted separately
from wage, hour and other labor re-
guations. The labor clauses were de-
finitely outlawed.
The decision raised speculation as
to the fate of other legislation, not
ably the Wagner labor relations act
regulating employee-employer rela-
tons in many industries.
Disputes continued as to a District
of Columbia court decision bearing on
the Resettlement Administration. At
torney General Cummings said the
only feature held invalid were GER
tain model housing projects. OPPOSING
attorneys argued the whole $275,00,-
900 Resettlement Administration
came within the scope of the invalida-
ton.
Resettlement officials, however, in
dicated that. most of the agency's
manifold activities, including the
transfer Of farm families to better
land, would be continued. 1t was
made plain that WPA and other re-
lief activities, financed like the Re
settlement Administration from the
$3.50, 100000 relief appropriation OF
1885, would go on.

For that matter, the job will await

The very suggestion that Secretary

Ickes is not actually reducing i'm
