u. ). Tariff Tradition
BY the Associated Press. y

BY the Associated Press.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Nov. l3.-Repre-
sentative McMurray, Democrat, of
Wisconsin declared today that the
American economic system will die
unless we build an international po-
litical system under which it may
operate"
Mr.. McMurray, member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
declared in speech to the third
national convention of Federal
Union, Inc, that such a program
cuts straight across our tradi-
tional tariff policies here in the
United States.
Tariffs are artificial restrictions
imposed by governments upon the
free flow of trade and commerce,
and are historically the first and
principal means used by modern
man to destroy the economic system
of which he seems to be so fond"
Rogers Speaks.
The McMurray talk featured the
second days business of the conven-
ton, meeting here principally to dis
cuss ways of educating the public
more rapidly" in it's principles. The
organization favors union now" of
the democracies with natural ties"
as the first step toward an eventual
union. Mr.. McMurray is chairman
of the groups Resolutions Com
mittee.
A. J. G. Priest, chairman of the
board of the organization, and Rep
resentative Rogers. Democrat, of
California, spoke at the convention
last night.
Mr.. Rogers. son of the late Will
Rogers. the famed humorist, praised
the Moscow pact, but declared that
underneath this umbrella agree
nent, and as sort of a subdivision
to it, should like to see a closer
understanding - ,ween Britain and
the British Commonwealth, and the
United States"
Comments on Politics.
Speaking politically, Mr.. Rogers,
a Democrat, said that II don't think
the fate of the world will hinge on
whether the Democrats get back in
Office in 1914"
He added that President Roose-
velt probably is more popular in
England than in the United States,
and Prime Minister Churchill prob
ably is more popular here than in
England"
A slogan by Iris Beatty of 1929 S
street NV. Washington-"Union
now, lasting peace tomorrow

House Group Works
To Broaden Senate
Anti-Strike Bill
Bockers Hope for Final
Action on Measure Before
Coal Truce Ends
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House Military Affairs Com
mitteea Is in closed session today
seeking to draft stronger wartime
anti-strike bill than the Senate
passed last week.
If the measure is completed today
its hackers will make every effort to
pass it and send it to the President
before the 15-day coal truce ends.
Spurred into action by the mine
walkout 10 days ago, the Senate
passed the Connally bill bolster
ing the Presidents power to take
over factories or mines involved in
labor disputes, and imposing fine
and Jail sentence on any one who
promotes or encourages a strike
or lockout after the Government
has moved in. 1t also would
strengthen the hands of the War
Labor Board by sanctioning its ex-
istence and giving it the power of
subpoena.
Taft Amendments Rejected.
The Senate, however, turned down
amendments by Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio, which sought to
prevent labor tie-ups in any war
plant by plan of compulsory
arbitration.
Chairman May of the House Mill
tary group headed subcommittee
that began yesterday to redraft the
Connally measure along broader
lines. At it stands it virtually is
limited to cases where the Gov
eminent takes possession.
Mr.. May has not revealed the
nature of the subcommittee changes
in advance of full committee action,
but some members expect the
amended plan to include some fea-
lures of the bill of Representative
Smith. Democrat, of Virginia which
the House passed a few days before
the attack on Pearl Harbor, but
which died in Senate committee.
Secret Vote Provided.
Under that measure workers could
strike only as last resort, after an
extended cooling off period and arbi-
tration efforts. First, 30-day
notice of intention to strike would
have to be filed with the Labor
Department. That agency would
then conduct secret vote of the
workers to find out how many
favored striking. Meanwhile, con-
citation machinery would operate.
If strike occurred without COM
plying with the steps thus provided
for, the penalty would be to deprive
the offending union of the benefits
of the National Labor Relations Act.
which would mean it could not con-
tinue as bargaining agent.
The Smith bill also would require
registration of unions and the filing
Of financial reports. 1t was not GER
tain when the committee met this
morning whether it would adopt all
or portions of these proposals. 1t
may also pick up features of other
labor bills pending in the committee.

Opposition Of COP
Faces Civilian Supply
Measure in House
Bill Passed by Senate
Held Likely to Add to
lnter-Agency Confusion
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Legislation to strip the War
Production Board of it's author
ity over civilian supplies landed
in a bramble patch of Repub-
lican opposition today when it
was lofted over to the House by
the Senate.
Representative Wolcott, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, ranking minority
member of the House Banking Com
mittee, which will give first con-
Sideration to the measure, expressed
the opinion that it sets up another
agency which is bound to confuse
the whole setup," then declared:
unless a lot of restrictions are
written into it, it will encounter
stiff opposition in the House"
Mr.. Wolcott said he construed the
legislation as an attempt to settle
by congressional action friction be-
tween the War Production Board
and the armed forces over priorities
sought by both the armed services
and civilian agencies.
The bill would empower an ad-
ministrator appointed by the Presi-
dent to determine the needs for
rationing and to ascertain the types
and quantities of materials, man.
power and other services necessary
to keep the civilian population
healthy and functioning effec-
lively"
The new agency would replace the
Office of Civilian Requirements re-
Gently organized by WPB Chairman
Donald NJ Nelson, who has testified
against the bill.
Republicans generally opposed the
bill when the Senate passed it yes
terday. 81 of them joining eight
Democrats in opposition, while 10
Republicans voted for the measure
on the A to % ballot.
Introduced by Senator Maloney
Democrat of Connecticut. the
measure would give the new civilian
supply agency a claim to materials
and services as authoritative as that
of the Army, the Navy or any other
war agency. But Senate Minority
Leader McNary said the legislation
was liable to lead to q conflict in
Jurisdictions.
Il cannot criticize on the one
hand the multiplicity of government
agencies dealing with production,
and. on the other hand, vote to bring
new car into conflict with ad-
ministrators already operating in
civilian fields" Senator McNary told
the Senate.
