on the wage-hour bill.
Open revolt was led by the
House wage-hour bloc which
warned it would attempt to sa
botage cotton provisions in the
pending farm bill unless assured
that the labor legislation would be
brought to a final vote.
PERSONAL DRIVE
In q virtually unprecedented
move, Speaker Bankhead, Major.
ity Leader Rayburn and Demo
cratic Whip Boland waged a per,
sonal drive, buttonholing mem.
bers who had failed to sign the
petition to free the wage-hour
measure from the powerful Rules
Committee-the Houses own pol,
icy-making body.
AS the new legislative day be-
gan the petition bore the names
Of 1914 members, still "a short Of
the required 21S signatures to
send the bill to the floor.
With the wagehour bloc delib-
erately aiming its shafts at
Southern members who have
baked at signing the petition, the
seriousness of the situation was
admitted by Representative Mary
T. Norton of New Jersey, chair
man of the Labor Committee, fol-
lowing a conference with bloc
leaders. She said:
"If by tonight there are not
enough signatures to assure
action on the bill, then there
may be some trouble on the
farm bill. This is a very de.
termined bloc"
GAVAGAN EMPHATIC
Representative Gavagan CD
!: New York, one of the leaders
a the revolt, was more emphatic:
: The boys from the Cotton
States are going to get it. We
refuse to go along with any Sec
ton of the country that refuses
to 60 along with efforts to raise
the earning power Of another
section"
One Southern member, Repre-
sentative RamSpeck CD of
Georgia, admitted he signed the
petition partly through fear Of
an attack on the farm bill" A
member of the House Labor Com
mittee and an advocate of the
wage-hour bill, Ramspeck said he
had delayed signing because he
disapproved of the petition
method.
SIGNED BY DOZEN
More than a dozen Southerners,
including Marvin Jones, of Texas,
chairman of the Agriculture Com
mittees author of the farm bill.
have signed the petition in the last
48 hours. One House leader said
he had been assured there would
be at least five or six Others"
Although declining to comment
on the sectional outbreak, Ad-
miniStration leaders were conf.
dent their drive to complete the
petition would succeed within the
next "a hours. Rayburn expected
completion "hy tonight or tomor.
row night"
The necessary signatures must
be obtained by Saturday to make
House action on the bill in the
special session certain.

SENATE TO PASS
LYNCHING BILL,
BACKERS CLAIM.
Supporters Assert 70
Votes Pledged

U.N,S.). Senate supporters Of
the Wegner.Van Nuys antilynching
bill today agreed to do all in their
power to smash the filibuster
against the measure led by South
ern Senators.
They contended that the "legis-
lative picture" augurs we'll for
passage of the measure. However,
foes Of the measure served notice
they will fight with all Of their
resources. e
Claiming 10 votes, Republican
and Democratic, pledged to vote
for the measure, leaders Of the
fight for the bill which already
has been passed by the House, dis
closed they will hold the Senate in
day and night sessions in an effort
to beat down the opposition.
HOUSING HEARING
With passage Of the farm bill,
expected nexs Wednesday, the
bitterly fought antilynching meas
ure automatically will be before
the Senate, and there was no dis
position Of leading proponents to
waive their priority rights.
Senator Wagner CD Of New
York. chairman Of the Banking
and Currency Committee as we'll as
co-Sponsor Of the anti-lynching
bill, has mapped a program Of
hearings by his committee on the
housing-boom bill that will carry
beyond the middle Of next week.
Indications are, he said, that
his committee will be unable to
report the housing bill before the
enc Of next week. It may be the
following week before a measure
is reported to the Senate. Mean
while, the antilynching bill will
be holding the center of the stage
and Senator Van Nuys (D.) of
Indiana, co-sponsor Of the meas
ure, has served notice he will op-
pose any further moves to lay 1t
aside. g.
PLAN FINISH FIGHT
Opponents Of the measure con-
ce6ed that they do not have q
majority Of the Senate with them,
but Senator Tom Connally (DJ
of Texas, told International News
Service:
"'ThiS bill is unconstitutional.
It Is a brazen invasion of State
rights. We are going to fight
it until we drop from exhaustion.
1t is an uphill fight because poll
tics is an important factor"

TALK FOR RECORD
The leaders talk bravely in pub
lie Of putting the Presidents pro
gram through in the 18 legislative
days left of the session, but such
talk is for the record. Privately,
they concede it is an almost hope
less task, what with both Houses
snarled up in sectional jealousies
Democratic factional warfare, and
all the old animosities tha
wrecked the last session. Tempers
that were at boiling point last Au
gust are getting hot again.
Here is the status Of the prin.
cipal legislative items on the pro-
gram at the near-halfway mark
FARM: The Senate hurriedly
produced its own bill, which its
author, Senator Smith Cd of
South Carolina, admitted he did
not altogether understand. and
had some doubts as to it's efficacy.
The House wrote its bill, quite diff
ferent. Both bills have been
heavily attacked in debate. 1t is
expected each House will enact it's
own measure, and then an entirely
new bill will have to be worked
out in conference. That will take
considerable time.
WAGE-HOUR: Still bottled up
in the recalcitrant Rules Commit
tee Of the House by a coalition of
Southern Democratic and Republi-
cans. The leadership has been
unable to pry it loose, even by the
petition method. AS a result there
is a sectional war between South
ern and Northern Democrats and
between members from the indus
trial centers and rural States.

HOPE FOR EARLY
VOTE ON FARM
MEASURE FADES
Senate, House SWamped
With Amendments
BY ROBERT A. McGnL


UN.S) Congressional leaders
today abandoned hope of prompt
enactment Of Senate and House
farms bills as they became sub
merged under controversial amend
ments and substitute proposals.
Senate Majority Leader Bark
ley predicted debate in the Senate
would continue throughout the
week. Speaker Bankhead. serving
notice there would be no attempt
to limit the bills discussion In
the House, also predicted q final
vote probably would not be
reached until next week.
BILLS EXPLAINED
The Senate and House, mean
while. listened to general debate
and explanation Of the compli-
Gated bills with little indication
Of voting on amendments and
counter proposals before Friday
or Saturday.
The Senate entered its ninth
day of debate on its bill with Sen
ator Thomas GD.). Of Oklahoma.
fighting for incorporation Of his
monetary stabilization program.
His amendment would empower
the Federal Reserve Board to do
crease further the value Of the
dollar.
ITO make substantial progress
in solving the farm problem"
Thomas said, "the Government
must have the power to control
dollar values as well as price
levels"
LEE OFFERS BILL
AS Thomas presented his plan
large bipartisan bloc swung to
support of a substitute bill offered
by Senator Lee CD Of Okla
homa. It would approach the
problem Of increasing the living
standard of the farmer through q
domestic allotment subsidy pro.
gram instead Of acreage control.
In the House dissension on COM
pulsory marketing features Of the
bill increased. One group headed
by Representative Patman, cd,
of Texas, claiming nearly 100 mem
bers, was considering supporting b
proposal to substitute a parity
price measure for the bill. The
Patman bloc planned to meet to-
morrow to make a final decision
on it's course.

MOST HELD OVER

Most, If not all Of this program,
is going to have to slide over into
the January session for completed
action, there to get tangled up
with the regular business of relief,
consideration of the budget, regu-
lar appropriations, and the usual
mine-run of other legislation.
The leaders are contemplating
quitting on December % for the
ChristmaS-New Year holidays, to
meet on January 8. They con.
slider they might as we'll, because
they doubt if they can keep suffi
cient Of the "boys" here to get
quorums.
And, privately, they are saying
I'VE told you So" because they
did not want Mr.. Roosevelt to
call this special session.

to bolt on farm legislation in re
taliation for southern insurgency

REORGANIZATION: Still kick
ing around in committees, where
it has been since President Roose-
velt proposed it early in the year.
If and when it is taken up, it
will mean a long battle.
ANTI -LYNCHING: Southern
Democrats are prepared to be-
gin another filibuster against the
bill just as soon as it comes up,
which it does automatically, after
the farm bill. They are deter
mined to prevent a vote on it
this session, Notwithstanding two
thirds Of the Senate are committed
to it. The Southerners will talk
from now until adjournment If
necessary, thus stopping every.
thing else.
TAXATION: Wheels slowly
turning toward modification of the
capital gains and corporate sur.
plus taxes early next year.
HOUSING: The machinery has
just started to grind.
