HOUSE WILL TAKE
UP LABOR ISSUE
Continued from Page One)

by house leaders calls for considera-
ton of three sets of proposed wage
hour revisions late in the week. Ma
chinery has been set in motion to
force debate soon after on proposals
to amend the Wagner Act.
The division in the house with re-
spect to each of the laws is similar.
One group of members is trying to
stave off any revisions, another
would drastically alter the statutes,
and a third, and perhaps controlling
group, is agreeable to moderate
changes.
There are indications, however,
that whatever action the house
takes will be nullified by senate fail
ure to act.
Senator L.afollette (Prog-Wis), a
member of the senate labor commit
tee, said he thought it would be vir.
tually impossible for the senate to
approve any revision in Wagner
Act by June 1, the tentative ad-
journment date.
Senat L Norris (Ind-Neb), remark
ing that final action appeared I'M
likely, observed that the primary de-
feat of Senator Burke D-Neb), chief
senate advocate of Wagner Act re-
vision, likely would have an effect
on the senate. Burke attributed his
defeat by Governor r. L. Cochran
for the democratic senatorial NOM
ination largely to the opposition of
labor to his candidacy.
Sponsors of the three Wage-Hour
bills pending in the house are all
agreed that there should be amend
ments to exempt from the basic law
certain white collar workers, tele-
graph messengers, and the insular
possessions of Puerto Rico and the
Virgin islands.
The principal point of dispute is
over what farm processing opera
lions should be exempted. The house
labor committee would permit a Co.
hour week for IA weeks each wear
for 16 operations. A bill by Repre-
sentative Barden (D-NC) would
exempt entirely most of these activi-
ties, A third bill, by Representative
Ramspeck (D-Ga), is similar to the
labor committees except that it n
talns no changes for agriculture.
The committee would except 5000
a-month white collar workers, while
Barden would exempt those getting
$3.50.
Present basic standards call for a
maximum work week of 40 hours
and a minimum wage of 80 cents
an hour.
A letter objecting to the Barden
Farm amendments was sent to
house members today by the Ameri-
can Association of University Wom-
en- which said their adoption would
mean "a return to substandard
wages" in agricultural processing
industries.
Two sets of amendments to the
Wagner Act have been proposed.
Chairman Norton (D-ND of the
labor committee offered one and the
special labor board investigating
committee, headed by Representative
Smith DIVA, the other.

said they were consolidating their
position around Oslo Southwest Of
the Norwegian capital, an eXpedi-
tionary force was said to have
marched into Tonsberg and, at the
entrance to Oslo Fjord, Fredrikstad
was said to have been occupied
The high command said German
defensive works were extended and
strengthened in Norway while i'm
portant points on the Danish coast
were prepared for denfense by set
ting up heavy batteries"
The Germans insisted, though, that
there had been no large-scale action
involving head-on collisions of the
grand fleets.
But the British ADMITTEDLY were
making logged, sporadic jabs at the
Norwegian coast and the German
fleet was resisting savagely.
The German men-o'-war had the
help of swift, seemingly countless
battle planes while German subma-
rines prowled all over the North sea.
1t is a battle of such huge pro-
portions that no n admiral can
direct it's many and widely scattered
phases on, under and above the sea.
Even from the detached viewpoint
of Berlin, it is difficult to get the
perspective of what is happening.
Serious Losses
Germany's most serious losses dis
| closed so far, the sinking of the
Karlsruhe and Butcher, took place
right at the start of the occupation
of the northern lands.
But authorized sources said that,
"of course, in an action of this mag
nitude, losses must be expected but
they cannot be revealed before the
decision of the high command that
there no longer is need for secrecy"
CThe British reported Saturday
night that seven German destroyers
were sunk in a British naval raid on
Narvik, Norway's iron ore port. They
previously had reported two other
German destroyers, two other cruls-
ers and several submarines sunk, at
least a dozen troop and supply ships
sunk or captured and the battleship
| Scharnhorst damaged.)
Adding to the German version, the
British have lost three submarines
whose commanders boldly ventured
into the ~Skagerrak, where the Ger
man air force contends it is in COM
plete control.
The submarines, the Germans said,
were surprised on the surface by
fast-striking bombers and were deal
fatal blows before they could sub
merge.
Damage also has put out of action
four British battleships, two heavy
cruisers, three chuisers and several
other lesser warships, the Germans
have reported.
The frequent target of British sea
attack seemed TO be Narvik-the
citv which delivers Swedish ore to
Atlantic ocean freighters. Apparent
lv the British are determined that
none of the precious ore gets to the
Reich and Germany is equally de-
termined that none get to Britain.
The northern harbor was attacked
yesterday by an imposing British
force, which the Germans said, was
headed by two battleships. CThe
British said one battleship, the War
spite, was in the attack.)
