Neutrality
Continued From First Page }

Der Of the group invited to the con-
ference who voted with the major
ity of the Foreign Relations Com
rnittee to postpone action until next
session.
Three possible methods of reviv-
Ing the controversial neutrality bill
have been under scrutiny by the ad-
ministration's congressional leaders.
Senator Barkley said these were:
l. The Senate might be asked to
discharge the Foreign Relations
Committee from further RESPONSE
bility for the bill, which then would
60 directly to the floor for debate.
2. The legislation might be at
tached to some other pending bill
as rider"
3. Some member of the Foreign
Relations Committee might be won
over to the administrations view
point, thereby reversing the l2-ll
vote by which the committee re-
Gently Shelved neutrality legislation.
I'VE have not given up" Senator
Barkley asserted We still are
AiOpClut tilot SoHiStilills Cdi NC
done"
Senator Borah conferred yester-
day with colleagues opposing the
neutrality program. He told re-
porterS all committee members who
had voted to shclve the legislation
were standing firm.
Both Senators Borah and Bark
ley said some Senators who favored
the administration program would
vote against any motion to force
1t from the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to the floor.
A motion to discharge the COM
mittee, Senator Barkley said, would
raise the question of whether the
Senate Is master of It's committees
or whether the committees are mas
ters of the Senate. 1t is the old ques-
ton of which came first-the chicken
or the egg
The other possible course of &C
.tion-attaching neutrality legisla-
tion as an eXtraneous amendment
to some other bill-has been criti-
cized in principle by Mr.. Roosevelt
In the past.
With many legislators hopeful Of
quick adjournment Senator Barkley
said the session probably would end
by August II neutrality legislation
were not taken up.

Davis to serve 10 days In Jail, Nc
Kusker and Wills As days each, told
the couple:

Wagner Act Changes

Proposed Amendments
Are Unfair
By the Associated Press.

Philip Murray, C. I. o. vice presi-

Organizing Committee, told the
House Labor Committee today pro-
posed amendments to the Wagner
Act were designed Ito reduce work.
ers to their former status of weak
ness"
Mr.. Murray was the first of the
witnesses to present the official c.
I. o. view in respect to amendments
sponsored by American Federation
of Labor leaders.
While Mr.. Murray asserted the
National Labor Relations Act ''is
fair he disputed A. F. L. conten-
tions that the Labor Board was pro-
c. I. O. He said:
"In practically every case in which
there has been conflict between an
A. F.. L. craft union and the S. w.
o. c.. the board has upheld the
contentious of the A. F.. L. and
permitted it to nibble away at 0,lr
industrial organization
Called Proof of Unfalrness.
He discussed labor union history
at length and. closing. asserted:
The hectic campaign to amend
the act is evidence-conclusive evi-
dence-in proof of its essential fair
ness. The chief purpose of the act
was to even up bargaining power be-
tween employers and workers. Equi-
table relations between a worker
and his employer are impossible
when one party is far superior in
strength to the other.
The act is fair. The proposed
amendments are unfair be-
cause they propose to turn the bal
ance of power back to employers so
that they can force the workers back
: TO their former status of weakness.
A. F. of L. Figure Testifies.
The act has been the strongest
single force in the development of
our growing industrial democracy in
America today. 1t should be pre-
served"
Meanwhile, the Senate Labor Com
mittee heard J. Vernon Burke. Sec
retary of Labor's Non-Partisan
League in California and a member
OF A. F. of L. unions, testify that
the great majority of the member
ship OF the A. F. of L. does not
approve of the amendments, be-
cause these permit practices on the
part of the employers which this
act was established to prevent. and
which should not now be made
legal"
The proposed amendments are de-
signed to lessen the boards discre-
tionary power by setting out statu-
tory requirements it must follow.

Lou Gehrig Named
To $1,000 Job by
Mayor La Guardia
Yankee First Seeker,
Benehed by Paralysis,
On Paroles Bourd
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct 11.-Mayor La
Guardia today appointed Lou Geh-
rig, former New York Yankee star
first baseman. incapacitated by a
subtle form of paralysis, city parole
commissioner.
The appointment, for a term of
slightly more than 10 years, carries
q salary of $4,000, less a current 5
per cent pay cut.
The commission is a five-man
board headed by the police and cor
rection commissioners, ex officio,
with three members appointed by
the Mayor.
The matter has been under ad-
visement for over four months"
the Mayor said in making the an
Hall in Queens.
In the meantime. Mr. Gehrig has
read about all the reports on parole
that have been published and sew
eral works on the subject. I have
had several conferences with him
and the final decision was made a
few days ago.
Il believe he will not only be an
able, intelligent commissioner, but
that he himself will be an inspira-
ton and a hope to many of the
younger boys who have gotten into
trouble"
Surely" the Mayor said, ''the
misfortune of some of the young
men will compare as trivial with
what Mr. Gehrig has so cheerfully
and courageously faced. He expects
to devote his life to the public serv-
ice."
