Tne measure, which sets up a "Little NRA" for soft coal industry, is slated to be reported oul of the House "Ways and Means Committee on Monday. The House will vote on it next week.

With Senate leaders promising consideration, there was possibility that a stubborn fight over the bill may upset adjournment plans. Three factors combined to make the till a matter of major importance. They were: 1. President Roosevelt's letter askiiK approval of the bill even though members held "reasonable doubts" as to its constitutionality. 2.

Speech of John L. president of the United Mine Workers, predicting the Guffey bill is the beginning of Federal control over all natural resources, with nationalization as the alternative. 3. The fact the bill reenacts the NRA code system, which -was outlawed by the Supreme Court, and may result irt an increase In prices. The speech of Lewis, which was delivered at tne University of Virginia, has sunk deeply in the minds of members of Congress.

Almost unnoticed at the time, it being discussed in cloakrooms of Senate and House. STATE WEEDING EMPLOYABLES TO END RELIEF LIFE BEGINS AT 80 FOR THIS CHAP SIR. A.YD MRS.

AUK. throughout tie Nation -who do not wish to work for a "security wage" today stood in full possession of their inalienable right to so far as the Federal Government concerned. The attempted strike ol -work-relief employee lu Xew York City, and threatened similar strikes elsewhere, afforded President Roosevelt and Works Progress Administrator Hopkins an opportunity for a showdown which they accepted with alacrity.

It made no difference to the New Dealers that organized labor leaders were attempting to foment the walkouts. There was no sympathy in the Washington Administration for the expressed fears of union men that work-relief wages would give employers an excuse to reduce prevailing wages in private industry. "You can't strike against relief" was the burden of the ultimatum the President and Hopkins sent to those receiving Federal unemployment aid. And, having delivered the ultimatum. Mr.

Roosevelt and his chief work- relief aide -went away for a week-end on Chesapeake Bay. They refused to regard the New York flare-up as any sort of crisis. In the words ot the Chief Executive, it these men don't want to work there is no compulsion --but If they don't work they need not expect home relief while lying idle. They are not "striking," but indulging themselves in "a return to their norpes." Murder Snspect Freed. LOS ANGELES, Aug.
