Csaky, however, changed his pre-

FIGHTS TRADE
PACTS EXTENSION
Labor Also Demands That
All Existing Agreements
Be Regulated

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-lP-The
American Federation of Labor today
threw it's powerful influence against
extension of the administrations re-
ciprocal trade agreements program
in it's present form, and demanded
also that all existing agreements be
repudiated.
With the fight over the question
Of extending the trade law SEIZED
uled to start this week, the Wage
Farmers Protective conference, tar
iff group of the AFL, sent letters
to all senators and representatives
asking:
l.. Reputation Of all treaties with
foreign nations which "have not, as
the constitution specifically requires,
been ratified by the senate" Gun
der the trade act, the agreements
are not subject to ratification, and
supporters of the law maintain that
they are not treaties within the
meaning of the constitutional pro-
vision, the ALL group, however,
contended that they yer treaties.)
q. Excise taxes on all foreign-pro-
duced competitive products suffi-
cient to make the delivered cost in
this country equal to the cost of
similar domestic products.
3. Extension to foreign-produced
competitive products of the restric-
lions of the fair labor standards and
denying entry in interstate COM
merce to goods produced under sub
standard conditions. The present
standards are a minimum wage OF
80 cents an hour and a maximum
work week of AZ hours, unless over
time is paid.
The conference is headed by Mat.

Military experts believed that the

the Russian commanders to re-

winter campaign.
Digging In
On the Karelian isthmus, where
the Red army has repeatedly fall

ported to be digging in and string
