Asked what would happen to the
pending bill, Senator Pepper said
that If the new order is administered
lin the spirit in which we under
stand It," he presumed the bill
would be held in abeyance. unless
experience should develop that the
new director needs some additional
legislation.

Robertson Hits WLB
On Mine Wage Stand
Urges Coal Operators
To Stop, Look, Listen
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Robertson, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, charged in the
House today that the War Labor
Board is attempting to force the
coal operators to agree to wage
scale, which in normal times would
mean bankruptcy for them in the
absence of a law enabling them to
pass the burden on to the consumer. :"
The Virginian. chairman of a WAYS
and means subcommittee on extern
sion of the Bituminous Coal Act,
said the board evidently was acting
upon the assumption the Congress
will provide such law"
My advice to the coal operators, :"
he declared, lis to stop, look and
listen, else they may wake up one hot
summer day in the near future to
find they have been left holding the
bag.
Partial success for the increased
wage demands of the coal miners
Is now assured. Yet the AFL and
the CIO are merely awaiting to as
certain the definite measure of that
success before pressing their new
wage demands
After yielding to the coal miners,
the War Labor Board will have
fat chance to deny the future de-
mands of the AFL and the CIO
Then we will see new life breathed
into the Bankhead and Pace farm
price bills still pending in the Sem
ate. 1t all adds up to price imitation
of very dangerous character"
Recently, he said, ''the President
made a fine and inspiring speech
on the subject of holding the line
against inflationary wage increases"
But, he added. his special commit
tee to consider a demand for rail-
road workers has preached that
