special session. The threat came
as Speaker William B. Bankhead
predicted defeat of house efforts
to recommit the wage-hour bill to
committee which would mean a
similar fate to this other principal
point in the administrators special
session program.
Sponsors of the farm bill, seeking
a final vote before midnight, were
forced to fight every step to block
new efforts to limit cost of crop
control and to guarantee full parity
prices for agriculture commodities.
Sen. Arthur H. vandenberg. r.,
Mich. again sought to limit ex-
,penditures to $500, 900 900 and Sen.
Edwin C. johnson. D.. Colo, pro-
posed to pay full parity prices
rather than to permit prorata dis
.tribution of available funds. But
both moves were defeated. Majority
Leader Alben w. Barkley, D.. KY,
opposed the amendment. Johnson.
Vandenberg and Sen. Alva B.
Adams. D., Colo, then joined in
a demand that the bill be recon-
mitted if necessary in order to
clarity it,
II am unable to see how the
president could sign this bill if it
goes to him with an unlimited
appropriation for an utterly mys-
tifying and incalculable amount"
Vandenberg said
Chairman Ellison D. Smith, D.,
S. c.. of the agriculture committee.
agreed with Adams that the bill
should be revised SO that it would
speak with clarity and honesty"
in regard to parity payments.

Basis for the protest is the ques-

to expedite refunding of collections
in the event the laws are found I'M
constitutional.

Labor leaders forecast today long,
intense battle for supremacy between
John L. Lewis and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Lewis killed a peace overture by the
Ladies Garment Workers Union,
they said, by his fiat declaration that
he did not want peace.
Lewis, chief of the Committee for
Industrial Organization, told a con-
vention Of the union yesterday at
Atlantic City:
IF the federation wants peace, let
1t issue some statement that it is
willing to concede the principles on
which the C. 1. o. was founded"
The garment workers, Lewis
union, had considered appointment Of
committee to talk peace with both
Lewis committee and the federation.
Third Proposal Rejected.
1t was the third peace proposal to
collapse within a year. An A. F. Of
L. Executive Council Committee un-
successfully attempted to arrange a
peace conference The United Hat,
Cap and Millinery Workers, another
Lewis union, also failed in attempts
at Cancellation.
Both sides at once girded for war
The c. I. o. started to consolidate
its membership gains by issuing
charters to local unions. The A. F..
Of L. called presidents OF all loyal
unions to Cincinnati May "a to dis
cuss a large-scale membership drive.
Little was heard Of the basic issue
craft against industrial unionism.
The A. F. of L. planned to utilize the
industrial type of organization where
ever it would serve to bring more
members into federation ranks.
Personal Feeling High.
c. T. O. leaders talked of taking
over workers previously organized by
A. F. of L. unions, even though they
once said they were interested only
in "organizing the unorganized.
Personal feeling between the two
camps ran high The fight has spread
into local Central Labor bodies and
State federations In some instances,
William Green. federation president,
has ordered State declarations and
local bodies to purge themselves Of
c. I. o. unions and leaders.
Both the A. F. Of L. and c. I. o.
