MARITIME BILL
APPROVAL SEEN
Three-Man Labor Board Is
Provided to Mediate
Ship Disputes.

The Senate was expected to pass
today bill providing for three-man
maritime labor board to mediate labor
disputes in the merchant marine and
making numerous changes in the
ship subsidy act.
Debate on the measure was cut
short yesterday by recess during
heated argument over a proposal to
insert provision requiring the Mari
time Commission and subsidized ship
operators to give preference when en-
ploying seamen to members of unions
certified by the Labor Relations
Board.
With one exception, the Senate al
ready had approved tentatively the
major amendments to the Maritime
Act advanced by Chairman Copeland
of the Senate Commerce Committee.
New Board Provided.
Provisions tentatively approved i'm
cluded those for setting up the MARI
time Labor Board, which would be
instructed to recommend a definite
maritime labor program within three
years. authorizing a Federal training
system for merchant marine officers
and seamen under the Maritime Com
mission and construction of new ships
in foreign yards when bids of domestic
shipyards are double those of foreign
builders.
A proposal to allow four of the five
members of the Maritime Commission
to grant additional subsidies to ship
lines to meet foreign competition was
defeated by 81 to % vote and an
other amendment was passed repeating
authority for granting of the extra
subsidies by unanimous vote of the
the authority sought in the defeated
provisions was needed to offset secret
subsidies granted by some foreign
countries to South American lines.

to require that members of certified
unions be given preference in employ
ment.
Senator Copeland protested such ac-
ton would put every Government
ship at the mercy of a union hiring
hall" He said such practices on the
Pacific Coast had given so much power
to Harry Bridges, West Coast C. I. o.
maritime union leader, that the peo-
pie Of the United States have bowed
down to his dictation" The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is opposed to
the closed shop provision, he added.

they said, and some communities may
do likewise for various types of de-

Representative Woodrum, Democrat
of Virginia. in charge of the bill, told
the House yesterday it would provide
customers for industry by increasing
purchasing power. He called it a
shot in the arm" for business.
You really think this is only shot
in the arm" Mr.. Smell interrupted
and will have no lasting benefit?'

of Michigan, declaring that the ma

Il am more firmly convinced than
ever that to continue the spending
program further will mean national
disaster"
If the House disposes of the bill to-
morrow, Senate leaders hope to put
it to a vote by the middle of next
week. An attempt probably will be
made by opponents in that chamber
to earmark funds for special purposes.

meeting would come from Secretary OF
State Hull. chairman of the board.
It is understood that four, possibly
five, of the remaining members of the
National Munitions Control Board are
In favor of the sale.
AS a result of today'S developments
the White House steps completely out
of the helium sale picture and the
decision remains with the six members
of this board With Mr. IckeS' oppoSi-
ton apparently so firm. the chances
of Germany making the purchase of
this helium from the United States
are not at all bright.
Secretary Early, in his announce
sment, pointed out that President
Roosevelt is without legal power to
override the adverse decision of any
member of the board and direct the
sale of helium to any foreign country.
On behalf of the President, Mr.. Early
pointed out that Congress has pro-
hibited the export of helium unless 1t
is found that the quantity sought is
not of military Importance.
The other cabinet officers comprising
this National Munitions Control Board
besides Secretaries Ickes and Hull are
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau,
Secretary of War Woodring. Secretary
of the Navy Swanson and Secretary of
Commerce Roper.

At his press conference yesterday,
the President said the main question
involved two words in the helium law,
military importance. The act pro-
vides that export regulations to permit
the sale of the gas for use in foreign
owned commercial airships shall not
allow accumulations of helium in
quantities of military Importance in
any foreign country.
When asked if a foreign govern
ments word could be taken in this
matter, the President said that it was
not matter of word but of purpose.
President Roosevelt also disclosed
that for the first time military authori-
ties are studying the question of the
adequacy of electric power for ma
tional defense. He indicated he looked
upon this as a vitality important factor
in the national defense program of this
country. He went into the subject at
great length yesterday with Col. Louis
johnson, Assistant Secretary of War,
and Basil Manly of the Federal Power
Commission.
The President pointed out that q
study is being made of the possibilities
of linking up electric power systems
particularly at strategic points, in
time of war to prevent disrupting in
dustry and crippling cities by aerial
raiders. He said that the question
of "tying-in" existing power lines
which are not now connected is being
carefully studied.

dent pointed out that there is nc
