Fair Chance to Work
Unhumpered, He Says
BY the Associated Press.

MOUNT CARMEL, Ill, Sept O.
Senator Minton, Democrat, of In
diana said today the Wagner Act
is here to stay"
collective bargaining is no longer
a theory; it is a practical, just
method that workers insist upon as
their right" he declared in a pre-
pared address at the 10th annual
celebration of the Southern Indiana
Labor Day Association.
Much criticism has been heaped
upon the board charged with the
administration of the act" the Sen
ator said. Some of it is justified
but that act has never had fair
chance to work unhampered. 1t has
never been accepted by some en-
ployers as the law of the land, al
though the Supreme Court upheld
the law three years ago"
! Senator Minton, firm supporter
of the Roosevelt administration, re-
ferred to wage-hour legislation a:
laws which abolished "sweatshops
child labor and slavery economy"
1--WE will not turn back to the old
days that permitted the unrestrainec
exploitation of labor through pool
pay and long hours" he said.
In upholding the Governments
preparedness program, Senator Min
ton said:
Military life if repugnant to the
American sense OF freedom and in
dependence, but in world whose
life is ruled and dominated by war
and threats of war we have to &C.

Congress Should Be
: Able to End Work by
Sept. 20, Herring Says
v the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders today ap-
peared to be aiming at a stepped-up
legislative tempo for the next few
weeks, with the unannounced hope
of getting Congress to adjourn and
70 home some time this month.
~s6ome confirmation of this came
Xpm Senator Herring, Democrat, Of
iowa, who said leaders were pressing
Tor action on important national de-
tense and tax legislation so that
I'll of us cali 60 home for awhile"
THE public now realizes that the
best thing Congress could do would
be adjourn" Senator Herring said.
There is no reason why we
shouldn't be able to quit by Sep

w. Senate Majority Leader Barley
was cautious about forecasting adj
@journment, but told reporters "all
&$mportant legislation should be
cleared from the calendar before
Very long" With White House sup
port, Senator Barley led an unsuc-
scessful attempt to adjourn Congress
before the national political conven-
stions.
- Sees Adjournment by October 1.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, OF
Mississippi, who must pilot the con-
tfeversial excess profits tax bill
through the Senate, said Congress
should be able to adjourn by Octo-
Der 1.
Republicans in both the House
and Senate, with the help of some
Democrats, previously have vigor-
ously opposed adjournment sugges-
tions, but Senator Herring said re
cent mail from back home probably
has changed lot of minds by
now"
Privately, most members of Con-
gress agree it is clever politics to
stay on the job in washington dur
ing a primary election and then get
back home to mend political fences
before the November finals.
Half a dozen measures were
awaiting action in the House or
Senate before any adjournment or
recess move was expected to be-
come public.
Final Vote Due Soon.
The compulsory military training
bill, already approved by the Sem
ate, is expected to reach a final
vote in the House this week.
A complicated excess profits tax,
already passed by the House, is ex-
pected to be ready for Senate con-
sideration next week.
The s5,133 100000 defense appro-
priation is awaiting adjustment of
a Senate-House Conference Com
mittee.
The House-approved 100000, 900
increase in funds for the Export
Import Bank to foster Latin Ameri-
can trade and relations is scheduled
for Senate consideration.
Senator Barley said the funds
needed to pay costs of mobilizing
the National Guard and starting
the compulsory military training
program probably could be included
in "catch-all" deficiency appro-
priation bill later.
