Committee Fails to Act on
Procedure-WiII Ask Peery
to Set Date.
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, February a.-Edvin
Cox, chairman Of the Third District
Democratic Committee, indicated he
would confer today with Gov. George
G. Peery on a date for a special elec-
tion to fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of Representative Andrew J.
Montague.
Cox was named committee Of one
by the district committee last night
to ask the Governor to Ak a date for
the election.
District leaders met briefly and sd-
journed without reaching any decision
on the method the party would use to
name its candidate. Although the
committee can decide upon the proce-
dure, the party plan makes no proyi-
sions for special primaries.
State Senator Gordon Amber and
Dave E. Satterfeld, former Common
wealthis attorney, only two announced
candidates for the vacancy, have said
they favored primary.
Other than primary. two methods
are open to the committee for picking
the party candidate-a party conven.
ton or naming the candidate by. the
committee.
Mayor j. Fulmer Bright Of Rich
mond said he would make his deci-
sion today whether TO become candi-
date for the congressional seat. Others
mentioned as prospective candidates
include Ashton Dovell of Williamsburg.
Speaker Of the House Of Delegates:
Charles w. Crowder. chairman Of the
House Courts of Justice Committee:
State Senator Hunsdon Cary and Miss
Cornelia Adair.
A brief resolution was adopted by the
committee praising the public career
of Representative Montague and ex-
pressed sympathy for his family.

to which the resolution was referred.
Wide Range Of Inquiry.
Broadly worded. the resolution calls
for an inquiry into corporate struc-
ture. salaries and bonuses. dividends,
profits, practicability of the 30-hour
week and minimum wage levels. pub
icity and lobbying activities and
technical developments in production.
The resolution calls also for inquiry
into the extent to which activities
and policies of the General Motors
Corp. or such other companies are in
fluenced, directed or controlled by
foreign interests to the detriment OF
employees, stock holders and the pub
nc." These words, incidentally, are
almost identical with those used by
Lewis about a month ago in an
nouncing that such an investigation
would be requested by union leaders.
Although both the Capitol and the
Labor Department thus were interest,"
ing themselves actively IN the Michi-
gan crisis, President Roosevelt de-
clined at his press conference yester-
day to make any comment either on
the actual situation or on any hypo-
thetical circumstances.
Protest against use of the National
Guard in the strike area was made to
Gov. Murphy today by telegraphic
communication from the American
Federation of Hosiery Workers, in con-
vention here. The cooperation of the
court and the military in Michigan
was described before the convention
as "a most conspicuous case of misuse
Of judicial authority fortified by mill
tary power"
Opposition to Tactics.
In like manner, opposition to the
strike tactics was expressed by John
p. Frey, president Of the Metal Trades
Department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in a circular to his
membership. Making the sit-down
strike the object of his criticism, Frey
declared it originated in Communistic
Russia and Fascist Italy and had been
suppressed by ''the most liberal gov
ernment France ever had"
Along with these labor Develop
ments came another attack on con-
stitutionality of the Wagner labor
relations act in brief filed yesterday
in the Supreme Court by attorneys
for the Friedman Harry Marks Cloth
ing Co., Inc. of Richmond, Va. The
brief charged that the act violates the
