that 1t is essential to have the court
bill In the interests Of labor It is not
new argument, but the administra-
ton hopes to drive it home more
deeply.
One theory held on Capitol Hill Is
that the President intends to keep
the court bill hanging as a club over
the head Of the Supreme Court itself,
even into and through next year, hop
ing in this way to obtain more liberal
construction of the Constitution. The
answer made to this, however, is that
II the bill is left on the Senate calendar
indefinitely. with an adverse report
from the Judiciary Committee, it will
be construed as a defeat for the
President.
There is also very serious objection
on the part Of both senatorial pro-
ponents and opponents of the bill to
having the bill held over until election
year, 1888. They want it disposed Of,
one way or another, before the cam
paign begins. The feeling was ex-
pressed by some of them today that
the bill should be either voted up or
voted down before Congress adjourns

offer compromise. If there Is to be 4
compromise offered, 1t must, the op-
ponents say, come from the Presi-
dents camp. And even then, the op-
ponents think they will be able to
defeat it.
Nevertheless, the pressure for some
kind Of = compromise is enormous.
Senators are being reminded that the
Democratic party must elect . Presi-
dent in 1910, that they themselves
must be renominated and reelected in
1898 or 1910.

TAXES, UNION HELD

Unrest Is "Pressure
From Outside"
By the Associated Presy.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Warninss
that mounting taxation, labor unrest
and budgetary unbalance are threaten.
ing post-depression recovery were de-
livered by two speakers before the
annual meeting Of the American Iron
and Steel Institute today.
Eugent G. Grace, retiring president
OF the institute, declared that I'VE have
come to a point in national economics
where Government expenditures are
OF grave concern to all, regardless OF
party, and where they threaten the
progress Of the countrys economic
advance"
George o. May, senior partner Of the
accounting firm Of Price Waterhouse
q Co., told the steelmakers, after at
tacking the Federal undistributed
profits surtax, that far more serious
than the continuation Of the elements
Of injustice in the tax structure is the
fact that even at our present stage Of
recovery the budget is not balanced,
and there is no immediate prospect OF
it being balanced"
Death Of Chains Seen.
A third speaker, Representative
Wright Patman, Democrat, of Texas,
said that large aggregations Of capital
were necessary In some industries,
such as steel and communications but
condemned absentee ownership" Of
banks and stores. Chain stores and
branch banks, he predicted, would soon
become "a thing of the past"
Turning to the labor situation
Grace said it was a fact that labor
unrest in many places is retarding
recovery"
Outside Pressure" Blamed,
Significantly" he added, "the
problem does not arise within industry
itself. The relations between manage
meht and employees in basic American
industries are and have been healthy
The pressure is coming from the out
side. The employe is in between vari-
Gus factions seeking in one way or
