VETO INDICATED

During House debate. supporters
said Mr.. Roosevelt would not
dare TO veto the bill, because
the public agreed with the farm
bloc that the alcohol process for
making synthetic rubber should be
used instead of WPB.supported
petroleum technlques.
Until today, congressional
leaders said they were not at all
certain what the Presidents atti-
tude to the measure would be.
But now. they said, indications
point toward a veto, which prob
ably could not be overridden by
both Houses.
A veto message. they believed,
might provide an opportunity for

Sendtor Mead Hollis
Labor War Record
Cites Workers. Wartime
Achievements At Field
Day Gathering

jamestown, N. y. ULNS).-Ameri-
can labOr's record under the defense
and war programs "is not one to bring
comfort and relief to Hitler and the
Mikado,' Senator James Nj. Mead of
New York told a labor field day gath
ering at CelerOn.
LabOr's wartime achievements, Mead
declared, gave compelling evidence
that our ideas and ideals of democracy
in labor are not only sound in theory
and practice, but they produce the
potency to defend them against aggres-
sors throughout the world"
Presenting "a factual picture" of the
strike situation, he declared that three
years ago the average work suspension
in strikes was 20 to 30 days. A year
ago, Senator Mead added, the average
had shrunk to 10 days and since Pea ri
Harbor lit is noteworthy that lost time
through strikes has averaged only two
days i'm each case"
He called the National Labor Rela-
tions Act "a landmark in Federal legis-
latiOn."
