bill Into Congress was raised by Rep. E. E. Cox, Ca, In the House rules committee earlier today. Cox, stat ing that Mir. Roosevelt was still In the talking stage" asserted that Congress would have to act # dee fense labor legislation is ever to be put on the statute books, Cox, act. !ng chairman of the rules commit tee, said that group might "put the lid" on all other iblls until anti. strike legislation Is acted on.
 Rayburn discounted reports that q bloc of southern Democrats would force the issue by calling up the Vinson labor bill without consulting administration leaders.
 He conceded that Rep. Howard W. Smith, D., Va, could force the IS. sue on the Vinson bill, but indi. cated he didn't think Smith would do SO before the leadership Is ready to proceed.
 Responsible Congressional sources believe that MT. Roosevelt would not support strike-curb legislation At this time if the captive mine dis pute can be settled without further serious loss os production.
 Cox said at the rules committee meeting that the group might block all other legislation until action IS taken on bills dealing with "thiA mutlny and insurrection In the ranks of labor"
 Dies Backs Up Cox
 Rep. Martin Dies, D., Tex, endors' cd Cox's statement.
 "The committee might determine to put on the lid and keep it ol until we get action," Cox told Chairman Henry B. Steagall, D., Ala, of the banking committee.
 Cox charged that the president was not going to give "go sign" for defense labor legislation and that Congress should proceed to adopt a just fair and reasonable law, send 1t to the president and see what he does with it."
 If this mutiny and instruction in the ranks of labor against na. tional defense is to be dealt with at all, Congress must make the first move-as is their responsibility" {" Cox said. "As for myself. I am une willing to wait any longer and no matter what disposition is made of the pending quarrel between the president and John Lewis, Congress should do It's duty"
 That's the only way to get any legislation" Dies remarked.
 "Statements have been made which some might think impliedly committed the president to strike legislation but I get little comfort from them," Cox added. The presi- dent has said nothing on his own responsibility about legislation, and, frankly, IUAM not expecting him to say anything"
 He said he knew of no better tin0 than now to cleanup and clean out this dirty mess"
