islation faced an uncertain and
rough future on Capitol Hill to-
day. New Deal Democrats lam
basted the Senate-passed un-
employment compensation bill
and Government agencies as
sailed its companion measure
providing for the disposition of
surplus property.
The latter proposal, passed in Diff
ferent form by both the Senate and
House, headed for d joint confer

differences.
Two days of debate, starting to-
morrow, have been set aside for
House consideration Of the unem-
ployment aid bill. At least two more
days, and possibly more. will be re-
quired to dispose of a pile Of amend
ments already drafted or In the
preparation stage.
Measure Called Inadequate.
Indications that the administra-
ton would seek to nberalize the
compensation provisions of the bill
came from four staunch House New
Dealers, Representatives Eberharter
of Pennsylvania, Lynch OF New
York, Forand of Rhode Island and
Dingell Of Michigan.

Senate-passed measure as one that
would have led to liberalization of
State unemployment programs.
Stiffest tight in the dining is a
drive by group of Democrats to
boost to perhaps as high as $35
weekly unemployment benefits. with
the Federal Government supple
menting State funds to make this
possible. As it now stands, the bill
does not alter State payments, which
vary widely.
Dispute on Three Points.
At least three provisions OF the
surplus property measure were in
sharp controversy as Senate House
conferees prepared to seek an ad-
justment. They involve the Senate
voted eight-man board to handle the
program, a Senate provision giving
publicly supported and nonprofit in
stitutions so per cent discount on
purchases Of surpluses. and a Senate
requirement for continued stockpil-
ing of strategic minerals.
The House turned down all three
Of these provisions and Its leaders
showed no inclination to bow to the
Senate. In the give-and-take of
compromise. there was the prospect

In addition to the divergent views
OF the two branches of Congress,
the Forest Service has complained to
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia that q section of the bill
dealing WITH surplus lands dtsposal
is too broad, and the Treasury De-
partment, through Acting Secretary

HARD, BITTER FACTS!

America is facing almost certain economic collapse after the war unless frozen wages are thaWed now, the American Federation of Labor warned in a significant re- port put out this week.
 Carried in ''Labor's Monthly Survey" published by the Fedora ton, the report disclosed the start ling fact that nearly half the na- tion's factory workers and the vast majority of non-industrial workers get an hourly rate less than enough for bare subsistence.
 That shocking situation has been hidden during the war because most workers are toiling long hours and thereby earn enough to keep their heads above water. But when they drop back to 40 hours week after the war their plight will be- come clear as day, the A. F. of L. pointed out.
 The Federation cited government surveys which show that 80 cents an hour on a 4O-hour week is the minimum needed for bare subsist- ence of family of four. Yet over 40 per cent of manufacturing workers and "A per cent of civil ian workers receive less than that.
 The contrast is even more marked when it comes to a sshealth and decency'' standard, enough to give a family necessities of life and a few comforts. This can only be achieved by $l.2O an hour, the A. F. of L. declared. But only 2l per cent of the nations war work CTS and 2 per cent of non-war em- ployes are paid that much now, the Federation revealed.
 ''Unless that standard is achieved, industries never can reach full productions" the Federation said. ssMilliOns will enter the postwar period at poverty wages, unable to buy back what they produce"
 Also. millions of service men will come back to substandard wage rates, unless the government wipes out vicious ceilings such as the Little Steel' formula, the A. F.. of l.. cOntended.
 ''TO increase these substandard wages would not cause imitation, for American industry with its vast profit margins can we'll afford to raise wages without raising prices" :" the Federation emphasized.

 The two sessions of the Confer ence were devoted to a discussion of the technique employed by the disruptive Nazi-inspired elements to SOW confusion among the groups comprising the American popula- ton.

 The main speakers were: Matthew Woll, Vice President of the A.FL. and President of Labor League for Human Rights; James B.

LITTLE LUTHER

Little Luther was bored. ''Pop, let's go," he said to MT. Dilworth, who was leaning forward in his gallery seat, eagerly watching the scene on the Senate floor.
 ''No, no, Luther," snapped MT. Dilworth. ''We can't leaves now. Senator Billhooey is just getting warmed up. .''
 ''But, Pop, he reached the boil ing point five hours ago." com pIained Little Luther. "What's he so mad about, anyway?"

 ''Is Hitler invading the south?'' gasped Luther.
 Worse than that, son. It's plot by those snippety unions and that man to abolish the poll tax"
 ''Why, Pop, didn't you say last week that taxes were driving the country to rack and ruin" asked Little Luther.
