comment on the election next Mon

He said the decision must be
based on one OF two factors:
One-Are the school electors OF

Second are they interested In
maintaining school district o..

standpoint OF cost there would be
little difference whether Ypslllnu

Anti-Strike
Bill Vetoed

Washington, June % ms -
President Roosevelt will advise
Congress today that he has vetoed
the Smith-Connally anti-trike bill
on the grounds that it would tend
to promote and sanction work stop
pages instead of preventing them.
Congressional leaders are ready
for showdown votes on motions to
override the veto as soon as the
Presidents message is sent to Con-
gress, probably at noon.
Mr.. Roosevelt it was learned
authoritatively, will veto the bill
on two major counts:
l. That its provision for 30
day cooling off period before a
strike can be called might increase
unrest and sentiment for strike
insteaG of reducing il.
2. That he provision calling for
a secret ballot by workers before a
strike would tend to give legal
sanction to any work stoppage
which might be voted.
