ishment which would ultimately
prove his end.
Thus, fighting a hopeless cause,
to Hobo Williams must go credit
for giving Steele the opportunity
to electrify the throng with nearly
eight full rounds of clever, hard
punching and effectual boxing.
Aroused Admiration
You could detect Steele's admi.
ration for Williams as he watched
his foe recoil to his unrelenting at
tack. Freddy'S eyes seemed to
strike flint as Williams stood up
to the attack and bored back with
display of courage and stamina
that struck deep into the hearts of
the unbelieving onlookers, and no
doubt into the heart Of the cham
pion himself.
Meanwhile Steele'S style was
something to behold. He proved
to be every inch a champion
every hair, every pore.
He was on Williams; not a
handy foe by any ring standards,
like cat, and he was in COM
mand of the situation at all times,

A Gallant Stand

While Williams could match the
middleweight champion only in
courage and willingness. by his
gallant stand against odds which
appeared overwhelming even
from the opening tap, he made
the fight the grand success it was
by sheer aggreSsivenesS.
He went in there toe to toe and

with perfectly timed and smooth

a piston-like two-handed attack to

session.
By the Associated Press.
Administration leaders may propose
limiting legislation in the special ses-
sion of Congress to President Roose-
velts five-point program, informed
persons said today.
This would require adoption OF
resolution by the House and Senate.
= Whether the leaders decide to go
ahead with it may depend on senti--
ment among the rank and file OF
members.
The idea behind the proposal is
that enactment of the administration
program might be completed in the
six-week session beginning November
Is if all other subjects were held over
for the regular session in January
The Presidents program embraces
crop control, wage and hour regu-
lations Government reorganization,
regional planning and revision of the
antitrust laws.
DELAYS Anu-ISNcntuS Dill
The principal effect of limiting the
session to these matters would be dis
placement of the controversial anti
lvnchinu bill from second place On
the Senate calendar. 1t probably
also would postpone enactment of
new taxes to pay for a crop-control
program.
The House passed the antilynching

cast eventual passage, Supporters OF
the measure said an informal survey
indicated 70 votes for passage, % in
opposition. and 8 ION the fence"
Senator George, Democrat, of Geor-
gia said he thought there would be

nents, adding:
be very generally against the bill,
along with some from other sections,
and there may be some organized fight,
but don't believe we shall be long in
reaching a vote
The measure, he said, represents
"unwise interference" in a problem
which leaders in the South and else
where are trying to work out.
1t would make it felony for any
peace officer to neglect Wilfully all
precautions to protect prisoner. AS

permitted against State subdivisions
in which lynchings or attempted
lynchings occurred.
Farm Program First.
The first business of the special ses-
sion, if the legislation is drafted in
time, will be consideration of broad
farm program.
Although economists have agreed
the farm legislation as outlined would
cost more than the present soil-con-
servation program, the form of new
taxes has not been determined. Some
officials have talked of reviving proc
essing taxes, which we're part of
the invalidated A. A. A.
Even if the special session is not
restricted, the question of new levies
may be delayed until the regular ses
sion, when the general tax structure
will be overhauled.

convicted with Patterson, but they re-
ceived comparatively light sentences
and did not appeal.
The Scottsboro case, one of the most
widely discussed criminal prosecutions
in this country, has been before the
courts approximately six years. 1t was
believed, however, that the present
ruling will mark the end of the case.
The court also agreed to review a
suit by the Duke Power Co. attacking
the legality of P. w. A. loan and grant
for construction of a municipality
owned hydro electric plant at Buz-
yards Roost, S. c. This case was up
for review at the last term, but the
justices sent it back for correction of
procedureal errors. 1t will be argued
December 6 Immediately after the
hearing of similar cases filed by the
Alabama Power Co.
The justices did not announce
whether they will review three labor
cases involving important questions to
both workers and employers.
Two of the cases involve the right
of the National Labor Relations Board
to "disestablish" Union allegedly
dominated by an employer, and the
authority of the board to order an en-
ployer to bargain collectively with a
particular labor organization after
the employer had made contract with
all his employees through another or
ganization. Lower courts ruled against
the Labor Board in each case.
The third case involves the legality
of a sit-dowr strike in Philadelphia,
the strike having been declared unlaw-
full by the Third Circuit Court of Ap-
peals.
Following today's brief session. the
justices adjourned for two weeks to
prepare opinions, some of which will
be delivered when they meet again
November 8.

LYONS WIN SPURS
j. S.-BR|T|SH PACT
Trade Agreement Had Been
Held Up Owing Partly to
Australian Situation.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
LONDON, England, Oct. 25.-One
of the principal obstacles to the con-
clusion of the Anglo-American trade
agreement has been removed by the
victory of the Lyons coalition govern
ment in the Australian general elec-
tions Saturday.
The failure of Anglo-American eX-
ploratory talks to make better progress
was attributed. at the time of the I'M
perial Conference last spring. to the
temporary inability of the dominions
to agree to modificat tons in the Ottawa
agreements such as tariff concessions
to the United States would entail.
This situation, the British indicated,
was not necessarily permanent and
they held out the hope that in a few
short months the dominions might be
persuaded to make the contributions
required of them.
They laid particular stress upon the
situation in Australia where Lyons
was faced in the electoral campaign
with John Curtin's Labor party. I'm
mediate concessions by Premier Joseph
A. Lyons, it was pointed out, might
ALLEVIATE a large part of the electorate
and throw the elections to the Labor
ties who are highly isolationist.
Therefore, it was argued that the cause
of an Anglo-American agreement
could best be served by not putting too
much pressure on Lyons. A member
of the Australian delegation to the
Imperial Conference went to Wash
ington en- route home and repeated
this explanation.
1t is now up to the British govern
ment and Premier Lyons to make
good his earlier assurances by nego-
tiation for notifications of the Ottawa
agreement which the Americans re-
quire.
Anglo American negotiations are
still taking the form of exploratory
conversations, as they have for the
better part of year.
The attitude of the United States
now is that the British must deliver
the Dominions and that they must
do so in such manner that the Anglo
American agreement will be really
big thing. The United States is still
emphatically not interested in con-
