The question of whether the ad-

Rep. E. E. Cox, D, Ga, in tho
house rules committee earlier to-
day. Cox, stating that Mr.. Roosevelt
was still in the talking stage,
asserted that congress would have
to act if defense labor legislation
is ever to be put on the statute
books. Cox, acting chairman of the
rules committee, said that group
might put the lid on all other
bills until anti-Strike legislation is
acted on.
Ravburn discounted reports that
a bCc of southern Democrats would
force the issue by calling up the

on the Vinson bill, but indicated he
