interests of the District Fedora

SEEK ROOSEVELT AID
While President Roosevelt has
informed congressional leaders
that an effort should be made in
the regular session to work out a
new wage-hour bill, sponsors OF
the little NRA" plan will appeal
to him to also sanction their
movement.
The Ellenbogen textile bill, which
received Administration support
before it was decided to frame a
national minimum wage and maxi
mum hours bill, will be consid
cred by the House Labor Com
mittee in January.
Leaders in the movement as.
serted that a textile bill could be
pushed through Congress in a
comparatively short time, if given
White House sanction, while it
would take months to get a new
general wage-hour bill in shape.
PRESIDENT DISAPPOINTED
President Roosevelt was re.
ported to have been keenly dis
appointed by action OF the House
in recommitting the wage-hoUr
bill to the labor committee for
further study.
Firmly convinced that the prin,
ciple of the legislation must be
enacted, he has informed con,
gressional leaders that Senate
and House labor committees
should begin consideration OF
such legislation in the regular
session.

some congressional leaders on a
proposed plan to enact a nationa.
