President Roosevelt, who was not
asked to the annual convention Of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
last year, has declined bid to address
this years gathering.
1t was said at the Chamber today
that q personal invitation had been
rendered to the Chief Executive by
Harper L. Sibley, his classmate at
Groton and Harvard, but Mr.. Roose-
velt said pressure of public business
would preclude his participation in the
program, which is scheduled April
26-29.
In his first year in Office Mr.. Roose-
Welt addressed the convention and told
the assembled business men to raise
wages. The next year, when business
was getting bit critical OF New Deal
policies, the President sent a message
to the assembled delegates warning
against rocking the boat" The third
year the President declined an invita-
ton to the convention and the conven-
tion turned thumbs down on the prin-
cipal features of the New Deal pro-
gram.
Last year no invitation was extended
and for while it was intended to keep

gram, which was announced as a

HERSHEY, Pa, April 13 (P)-The
Hershey chocolate strike is ended.
Hundreds of men and women workers
returned today to the ivy-clad, stone
factory. For the first time in IL days
they were not jeered by pickets.
The Hershey Chocolate Corp. said
that by Monday a normal force would

An agreement was reached last
night, after hours of conversation, by
which the nearly 5000 employees would
vote whether they want the Loyal
Workers Club, or the United Chocolate
Workers, affiliate of the Committee for
Industrial Organization, to act as
their bargaining agency.
Settlement of the strike, which was
elimaxed week ago tomorrow by an
onslaught of farmers and non strikers
who drove sit-downers from the plant,
was announced by Ralph M. Bashore
secretary of labor and industry.
Bashore said the election would be
supervised by the National Labor Re-
lations Board.
He explained the agreement pro-
vided that the strikers would return
to work Immediately"
President William F. R. Murrie
reiterated today that the striker,
would be returned to work "as rapidly

WHITE HOUSE GETS
REVISED COAL BILL
Guffey-Vinson Law Provides
for Bituminous Price.
Fixing by U. S.

Providing for Federal price fixing
In the vast soft coal industry, the
revised Guf1ey-Vinson bill has been
sent to the White House for President
Roosevelt's signature.
Final congressional action on the
measure came yesterday, when the
House agreed to Senate changes In
the legislation. The bill omitted the
labor-regulating provisions OF the
original Guf1ey act, which the Su-
preme Court held unconstitutional
last May.
Although the original draft Of the
bill was written by counsel for the
United Mine Workers, the only provi-
sion directly concerning labor in the
measure, as it was finally enacted
embodied declaration that miners
shall have the right to bargain COL
lectively and that holders of Govern
ment contracts must respect that
right.
Under the measure, % District
price fixing boards would propose min
imum prices, but Federal commits
sion would have to fix them rather
than merely review them, as under
the old law.
Like its predecessor, the revised bill
contains an elaborate code of fair
trade practices.
The penalty for operators who vio-
late either the code or the regula-
tions would be increased from 1914
to 1917 per cent of the sale price OF
coal at the mine
A tax OF l cent per ton would be
levied to produce funds for admin
istration.
Unless President Roosevelt vetoes
the bill, 1t will become law June /

and farmers drove sit-downers from
the factory. The farmers were an
gered because closing of the plant cut
off the outlet for their milk supply.
Two groups claimed the right to
be recognized as the bargaining agency
for a majority of employees.
Paul G. Smith, attorney for the Loyal

Loyal Workers, said the organization
was formed last Tuesday at meeting
of workers and that he alone was re-
sponsible.
Il was motivated," he said, "by a
feeling of loyalty to Mr.. Hershey and
the company and by a desire to keep
any outside unions out of the plant"

Hershey, founder of the company and
Of the community he built in a corn
field near the rural home where he
spent his boyhood, asked permission
to sign the agreement, although not
legally required to do so, "as evidence
of his deep interest in every movement
that leads to more peaceful relations
between industry and labor"
The statement continued:
Eve desire to bring about peace and
amity rather than discord in our rela-
tions with our employees. We are
happy to say this agreement not only
represents, but frankly expresses the
ften-declared policy of our company
in its dealings with its employees.
But in a larger sense it Is in line
with the constructive thought of the
country to meet the needs of this
new day in bringing into closer COM
munication with industry those who

Discussing yesterdays United States
the Wagner labor relations act,
Thompson said:
THE act provides that where 81
per cent or more of companys en-
ploycs are members of a union, that
union shall be the only force doing
the collective bargaining for all en-
ployes. The act overrides all agree
ments that the union bargains for
only its members.
Sees Revision Necessary.
THAT means that the agreement in
the United States between General
Motors Corp. and the United Auto
mobile Workers of America will have
to be revised to include this legal
function of the union, and when it is
revised the agreement will be made
to include General Motors of Canada.
Union stewards last night voted
against discussion of wage increases
which Hepburn in Toronto said had
been offered through him to the
Oshawa strikers
Before this action Thompson had
said: I'VE will not discuss it because
it hasn't been made to us directly. In
any event, our demands are for a
minimum for all workers of rs cents
an hour"
The organizer asserted the offer
announced by the premier was not the
highest General Motors had told him
(Hepburn) it was prepared to make.
He might as well come out now
with the ultimate offer instead of
beating around the bush," Thompson
commented. The premier announced
an offer of 7-cent-an-hour increase
to workers receiving 55 cents an hour
or less and cents to those receiving
more than SIS cents.
Replies to Hepburn's Charge.
Thompson also replied to Hepburn's
charge that the Lewis organizations
objective was to dip into the pay en-
velopes of Canadian workers to fatten
their own purses with dues"
