REVISION IS VOTED
ONPAY-HOUR BILL
House Committee Favors
Administration by Labor
Department.
BY the Associated Press,


Chairman Norton announced today
the House Labor Committee had
voted, 16 to 4, to recommend placing
administration of the pending wages
and hours bill in the hands of the
Labor Department instead of an in
dependent five-member board.
Mrs. Norton said this action was
agreed on in an effort to eliminate
''the most serious objection" to the
legislation.
She said she planned to inform the
House today that an amendment to
effect the change would be offered by
the committee ''if and when the bill
reaches the floor"
The committee also discussed, the
chairman said, suggestion of Chair
man O'Connor of the House Rules
Committee that an attempt be made
to get the bill up when the Labor
Committees turn comes on calendar
Wednesday.
Mrs Norton said the suggestion was
ridiculous her committee was
oath on the list for calendar days.
which would mean opponents could
fllibuster against its consideration by
talking on all measures that pre-
ceded it.
A group of more than so House
Democrats was pledged, meanwhile, to
campaign for 40 more signatures
needed to bring the measure to a
House vote by petitioning.
Shortly after the House session be-
gan its calendar day schedule Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Virginia,
who helped blockade the wage-hour
bill in the Rules Committee, forced a
quorum call in an apparent move to
prevent the House from reaching the
wage-hour bill today.
Earlier Frank E. Gannett, New York
publisher and chairman of the Ma
tional Committee to Uphold Constitu-
tlonal Government, told congressional
leaders today that pending wage and
hour legislation would be seriously
detrimental" to agriculture.
In letters to Speaker Bankhead and
Chairman Norton, Mr.. Gannett said a
survey of $4,000 local agricultural
leaders by his committee brought ad-
verse reports on the legislation from
IS per cent OF them.
Criticizing the proposed creation Of
an Independent board to fix minimum
wages and maximum hours, the pub
Usher said:
ITO give to board of presidential
appointees power to raise or lower
wage costs, with far-reaching reper-
cussions on agriculture, is especially
unwise at this time"
He asked that, unless the legislation
should be laid aside, hearings be re-
opened at which agriculture's views
could be presented.
Representative Raybun of Texas,
the Democratic leader, yesterday signed
petition to force House vote on the
bill-and promptly was accused by 4
Republican Of turning his back on the
South"

SHANGHAI, Oct. 18. (UP)-Four-

an entire regiment sworn to die
rather than retreat, were annihilat-
ed today in the Woosung Creek sec
tor of the Shanghai front.
For days japanese had been at

tanks, were sent over the top.
The men of the Chinese regiment
defending the position, centering in
the village of Kechipaolou, had TAX
en- an oath not to retreat.
