FOR ADJOURNMENT
Leaders Say Agreement on
Labor Bill Removes
Serious Threat.
By the Associated Press.


Congressional chieftains encouraged
BY virtual completion of the Senate
wage and hour dispute, talked conf
IDENTIFY today Of adjournment by mid
August
They said the agreement ending
debate today on the controversial
labor bill removed the most serious
threat to early adjournment with the
possible exception Of new dispute
over the court bill.
The Wagner housing bill will be
taken up by the Senate Monday, they
said. and passed by Tuesday night.
Then will come the court bill, which
may 60 through in a day-or II at
tempts are made to amend 1t, many
days may be required.
The House has not acted on either
the housing or wage and hour bill,
but limitations on debate In that
chamber prevent the possibility OF
indefinite delays once legislation
reaches the floor.
Talk Of August IA az Date.
Without making definite forecasts,
Senate leaders were talking for the
first time OF adjourning as early as
August IA, or a week later
The chief possibility Of battle over
the court bill. non-controversial in
the form recommended by the Senate
Judiciary Committee, centered on the
amendment proposed by Senator Min
ton. Democrat, of Indiana to require
decisions by tUo-thirds Of the Supreme
Court to invalidate acts Of Congress.
There were recurrent rumors, also.
that some Senator would offer the
original court bill as an amendment,
but no one had publicly announced
such an intention. This move. how
ever, almost certainly would bring on
much Of the debate which was side
tracked when the original court bill
was sent back to committee.
Two Other Hazards Seen.
Aside from the court issue two other
possible hazards to adjournment wor-
ried leaders.
One WAS the sugar quota bill, but
lidlIHoHS seemed possible after leaders
OF the House sugar bloc decided yes
terday to delete a provision restricting
imports from Hawaii, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands.
The other was the anti-lvnching
bill pending in the Senate. This meas
ure already has passed the House If
leaders could get all their vital legisla-
ton through ahead of it, they might
let it come up In the Senate and ther
adjourn, leaving it hanging until next
session.
Farm legislation appeared out of the
picture, but Representative Eicher.
Democrat, of Iowa. chairman of the
Prairie States congressional farm bloc,
said that II the Senate passed the
wage and hour bill. he would try to
block it in the House unless Congress
enacts farm price sterilization bill
He asserted farmers were afraid the
labor legislation would cause further
increases in cost OF goods they must
buy without compensating lift to
agricultural income.

WAGE-HOUR STAND
MAY |NJURE GREEN
A. F. Of L. Members Opposed
to Any Standards Law.
Hit Reelection.
BY the Associated Press.


Opposition to reelection of Presi-
dent William Green may devolep In
the American Federation Of Labor
some members said today, because he
is supporting the Senate wage-and-
hour bill.
The federation's convention is only
two months distant Whether peace
could be made in the meantime was
a subject OF speculation among A. F.
OF L. followers.
The heads of the A. F. Of L. metal
trades and building trades depart
ments sent lobbyists to the Capitol
this week to seek delay in enacting
the bill, at least until next year.
Many leaders in those departments
oppose wage-and- hour legislation at
any time, contending it would fetter
labor.
Favors Changes in House.
Green said yesterday the Senate
Labor Committees draft of the bill
did not meet the federation's ap-
proval. but that it seemed advisable
measure possible with the hope 1t
can be revised and amended in the
House"
Angered, the two department presi-
dents redoubled their efforts to send
the bill back to committee They
issued a statement against enact
ment before there had been adequate
opportunity for examination, con-
sultation and conference"
Although Green was reelected
unanimously at the Tampa, Fla, con-
vention last year, behind -the-scenes
talk in federation quarters has indi-
Gated there was some opposition to
his policies.
Policies Opposed BY Many.
Some Of the A. F. of L. most rabid
opponents of John L. Lewis commit
tee for Industrial Organization have
said in private conversations, for in
stance, they believed Green has not
waged sufficiently heated fight
against the c. 1 o. rebels.
Green generally has favored an in
creased amount of Government regu-
lation Of industry. This has met out
spoken opposition from some of the
other leaders
Before Lewis finally broke with the
federation. reports circulated in labor
quarters that George Harrison. youth
full president OF the railway clerks,
would be groomed to succeed Green.
These reports have not been heard
for months, however because Harri-
son has been friendly toward Lewis
throughout the c. I. O. rebellion.
