WAGE FACTOR IN.
HOUR BILL Eyed
Dixie Bloc Backs Slash
Of Measure in Half
By ROBERT A. McGILL


GN.SJ A plan to slash Presi-
dent Roosevelt's wage-and-hour
program in half and confine it to
regulation of hours only was being
considered today in event Senate

locked over pay differentials.
An influential member of the
Senate Labor Committee and Sen

compromise proposal has been dis

by the Senate Southern bloc.

ferentialS.
UP TO CONFERENCE
1t will be offered in conference
by Southern Senators if the Sen
ate conferees fail to break through
House conferees, who are insisting
on a flat wage and hour schedule
for the entire country.
The proposal to confine both
Senate and House bills to hours
of work met with scattered ap-
prevail in the Senate. Senator
Norris Q.-R0 of Nebraska said
that in event a conference dead
lock occurred he would prefer an
hour bill'' rather than no legiS-
lation at all. Other Senators,
Republicans and Democrats alike.
said privately that they agreed
with Norris.
LIKE MALONEY BILL
The compromise proposal, it was
said, would be modelled after a
substitute bill dealing only with
hours. introduced in the Senate
last year by Senator Maloney CD
of Connecticut, and beaten by a
vote of As to 81.
The Maloney bill called for Fed
eral regulation of working hours,
based on the current number Of
unemployed. BY a sliding scale
arrangement it would establish a
30-houE workweek If 100000 or
more were unemployed, and grad
ually expand the workweek to 40
hours if 100000 or less were
found to be unemployed through
registration boards.
The Seven-man Senate confer.
ence committee, predominantly IN
favor of some form Of differen-
tials, meanwhile turned to testi-
mony on the Senate bill by Solici-
tor General jackson, when he was
head of the antitrust division Of
the Justice Department, to sub
stantiate their opposition to the
House bill. i
jackson testified that without
there would be danger
of the law being held tlnconstitu-
tional and danger Of its doing a

major issue for Democratic aSpir-
ants to Congress in the coming
election.
FEARS RESULTS
From the Arthurdale, w. Va,
substance homestead project the
President yesterday advised the
nation by radio that he was letting
the new $500, 900 900 tax bill be-
come law with such distinct mis-
givings he could not find It pos.
sible to affix an approving sigma
ture.
Mr.. Roosevelt renewed vigor-
ously his objections to material
modification of the undistributed
profits and capital gains taxes.
He emphasized a charge that Con-
gress had written q revenue bill
which actually abandons the &C
cepted principle of progressive
taxation at q point which Is very
important in our economic life. J"
There was no mistaking the
tenor Of the Presidents speech.
He resented in so many words
that 80 per cent Of all capital
gains" came from buying low and
selling high in the stock market.
He predicted the new bills penal
ties were so insignificant that
controlling stockholders would
continue to avoid tax payments
by building up surplus reserves
instead of paying dividends to the
run-of-mine shareholders.
TAX AVOIDANCE
Going deeper into the situation,
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
I'VE are delighted to remove
any existing barriers against
every little business in the ma
ton which is willing to set itself
Squarely on it's own feet; seek
ing to pay off it's debts and seek
ing to make q reasonable prof
it; but the Administration does
not want large closely held cor
porations making large profits
to be used as a vehicle 10y the
small number Of their owners in
order to avoid legitimate income
taxes"
It appeared from the aggressive
manner in which the President
handled the 1898 tax bill that he
intended to hammer consistently
for major New Deal objec-
tives during the coming months,
while hundreds of members of Con-
gress are up for reelection.
The manner and place in which
Mr.. Roosevelt made known that
he was letting the new tax bill
become law with considerable re-
luctance in themselves were sig
nificant.
HEARERS ENTHUSED
He outlined his position in the
course Of a commencement ad-
dress to the ten girls and three
boys who were graduated yester-
day from the Arthurdale wv. Va)

objections to the congressional tax
compromise, but the men and
