The Presidents message on the
State of the Union, coupled with
his recent fireside chat, evidenced
the change that has taken place
in public opinion in the United
States since the war in Europe
began, more than year ago.
With the collapse of France,
there has been widespread ap-
probation of the dependence of
this country, in past years, upon
the stabilizing force of the British
Fleet. Most Americans are now
convinced that, without the Brit
ish Fleet in the Atlantic, the fu-
ture peace of the United States
is in jeopardy until the projected
two-ocean navy can be construct
ed and take its place upon the
high seas.

No definite decision has been
reached whether to give labor
legislation the right Of way over the

mine strike, it is believed the labor
bill will be showed ahead.
The Rules Committee, could, in
ordering a special rule for the con-
sideration of the price control bill,
provide for the consideration of
labor legislation as an amendment
to it,
Chairman Norton, of the House
Labor Committee, has called a meet
ing of her committee Tuesday to
consider what steps, if any, should

has been referred TO a subcommittee
to which Senator Bridges has been
added. A third bill, bv Senator Her

even more drastic, also will be re-

There is much sentiment in the

Concerned Over Coal Strike.
Some House members expressed
grave concern over the prospect of a
strike in the captive coal mines, in
view OF the inability of John L.
Lewis. president and other repre-
Sentatives of the United Mine
Workers Of America TO reach an
agreement with representatives Of
the steel companies. II the strike
occurs. the next step expected was
Federal seizure of the mines. with
the use of the Army to enforce the
action. President Roosevelt has
said explicitly that the mines will
be kept open and operating.
Seizure of the mines is not re-
garGed as permanent solution Of
the difficulties. One prominent
House member said that in his
opinion this would be playing into
hands of the radicals in control
Of the labor unions. who in the end
would get what they wanted. With
a Nation wide railroad strike loom
ing on December 7. demand for
anti-strike legislation was further
increased at the Capitol. The issue
in the captive coal mine controversy
is the union shop. In the railroad
controversy increases in wages is
the issue.

tied. it is believed. the President will
send to Congress his own recon-
mendations for labor legislation.
