The convention opens at 10 am. Del
egates representing labor unions in
every State will be present, it Is said.
All the officers of the American Labor
party, organized last Fall to campaign
for Mr.. Roosevelt, will attend.
Organized labor leaders generally
have fallen in line for the court bill,
including those of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor as well as those Of
the c. I. o. unions. Opponents Of
the bill, however, insist many of the
rank and file of labor are hostile to
the measure.
The campaign to enlist farmers
support for the bill is getting under
way. Mr.. Roosevelt's victory dinner
speech was addressed particularly to
the farmers. The administration,
through the operation Of the A. A. A.
under Secretary Wallace, has q huge
organization which is expected to work
among the farmers. Senators from
the Western farm States. however,
continued to insist yesterday that the
sentiment there among the farmers
| was strongly against the proposal.
Senator Burke, who halls from one
of these agricultural States, in his
speech last night. said:
mo one seeks to forestall legiti-
mate criticism of the decisions of any
court. That is our sacred right. But
unless We are willing as a people to

Humphrey Case Recalled.
The second case had to do with
the removal Of the late William E.
Humphrey from his place as Federal
Trade Commissioner. The Supreme
Court ruled unanimously that the
President had exceeded his authority
in removing Humphrey. Mr.. Roosevelt
urged at the time that the aims and
purposes Of his administration could
best be carried forward with per-
sonnel of my own selection" No
charges were brought against Hum
phrey except that he did not see eye
to eye with the President. The Trade
Commission had been set up by Con-

Burke reviewed three cases decided
by the Supreme Court to illustrate
the manner In which the Executive
and Congress. under the proposed law,
might enforce their will. The first
was the case Of an instructor in q
parochial school in Nebraska who was
convicted under State law by the
lower court because he had taught

This was In 1920, when feeling was

NEW YORK, August ia new

northward today in search of the six
missing Soviet tranSpolar flyers.
Herbert Hollick- Kenyon, Canadian

Toronto Harbor on Lake Ontario
The expedition planned to set up
It's ultimate flying base at the mouth
Of the Coppermine River, on the edge
Of the Arctic Ocean.
The Cuba, one Of the finest ships
ever built for long distance flying,

ment from Richard Archbold of the
American Museum of Natural History.
Last June it flew from San Diego to
New York in II hours and 3l2 min
utes to complete the first nonstop

wilkins said he had been hired by
the Soviet government to direct the
search. He declared flight operations
would continue for several months If
necessary to locate Pilot Sigismund
Levanetfsky, the "Lindbergh Of Rus
sia," and his five comrades. The
Soviet flyers were last heard from
Saturday shortly after passing the
North Pole on their fight from Mos
cow to the United States.
The Cuba has a cruising range Of
approximately 1000 miles and can
remain in the air 20 hours without
refueling. 1t was bought by Archbold
