man of the Senate Labor Commit
tee, declined to reveal his position.
He did cite the fact that for three
years he has sponsored a Senate
bill calling for q 80 hour work
week.
AS originally drafted by Ad.
ministration advisers, the bill.
sponsored jointly by Black and
Connery, would give five-member
labor standards board power to fix
maximum hours at IS to 40 per
week and minimum wages from 40
to 80 cents an hour, depending on
geographical, economic and indus
trial conditions.
Free Hand for Congress
A laSt-minute withdrawal Of Ad-
miniStration StipulationS shortly
before delivery Of President RooSe-
velt'S hour and wage message left
Congress free to write in its own
figures.
Although congressional leaders
expect the labor committees Of both
chambers to adopt the hour and
wage scales Of the original draft.
Connery predicted approval Of a
work-week range Of 80 to 40 hours,
with a SIS per week minimum
wage for all industry.
In addition to fixing hours and
wages. the bill would outlaw from
interstate commerce goods pro.
duced by child labor under 16
years of age. The Department OF
Labor's Children Bureau would be
empowered to limit use Of labor
between the ages Of 16 and Ia
also.
Lewis has indicated he will sup.
port the major provisions Of the
bill, but Green has never warmed
to minimum wage provisions in
labor legislation.

NEW STRATEGY
OF ROOSEVELT
WINS LABOR
Experts See Chance
For Third Party
As Negligible
BY EARL GOODWIN

A Farmer-Labor party Of ma
tional proportions by the time the
next presidential campaign rolls
around?
That question, asked today in
high places, following the Presi-
dents frank request for national
power to control hours, wages
and child labor labor union
program out and out-hrings the
answer from presumed experts:
'sNOt q chance. What's going
on in this administration today
IL going to draw labor to the
roosevelt procession. ard the
Democratic party rather than
drive labor into q new party.
This, Of course, presumeS that
the New Deal element in the
Democratic party remains as
cendant; otherwise, with the old
line State-rightS Democrats in
power, labor leaders express the
opinion today that labor would
leave the Democratic party in
large numbers, seeking whatever
noIitical utilization which seemed
to be more in sympathy with
labor views.
Cite Pennsylvania
Close attention is being paid to
the situation in Pennsylvania
where the Democrats have had q
clean sweep for the first time in
several decades. Organized labor
iesped into high elective position
there in the Keystone State when
Thomas P. Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine
Workers of America, was elected
lieutenant governor.
When Governor Earle runs for
the United States Senate next
time, Lieutenant Governor Ken
nedy will be running for the gov
ernorship. This is q close tieup
between Democratic politics in q
key State and the present aggreS-
sive labor movement as Kennedy
ranks high in the council Of the
United Mine Workers, which is
John L.ewiS'S organization.
There are few higher, only Lewis
and Philip Murray, who is vice
president of the United Mine
workers and chairman Of the steel
work for c. I. o.
This puts Lieutenant Governor
Kennedy, Of Pennsylvania, close
to the c. I. o. He is not active in
that organizing work but is Ger.
tainly an outstanding shining po-
litical mark for the c. I. o. to
point to. In addition, Lieutenant
Governor Kennedy is entrenched
in Pennsylvania Democratic circles
by virtue Of membership in the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee.
Little Chance Seen
There is no chance Of leading
the Pennsylvania labor union
Democrats into any new party
with such leaders as Kennedy on
the job, and there is very little
chance as seen at this moment for
such q thing to happen anywhere
else.

where who are thinking OF .
Farmer-Labor party at the present
moment: but there are plenty who
are thinking Of making the New
Deal party the political organize
ton for their kind Of Democrats.
Therefore, the present trend in la
Dor seems to be to put their legisla-
ton through a New Deal organiza-
ton and then to support their
friends who vote for it.
Old-time political observers are
of the opinion that the voters in
the farm section will not mix po-
litically with the city-bred indus
trial union man or woman. The
two do not seem to mix well at
present. Hence the practical poll
ticianS hereabout think that q
Farmer-Labor party Of national
proportions is out Of the present
picture.
