101111SON URGES iABOR MEASURE
-TO FIX RESPONSIBILITY IN DENYING
-CHANCE FOR REVIVAL OF THE NRA
-Says That President Has Made Collective Bargain-
ing More Than Just Show and Some
Regulation Is Now Needed
By HUGH S JOHNSON
In- WASHINGTON April 15—What happens from here in
view of the Court's reversal of its position that manufacture
is not commerce? National manufacture is now subject
to federal regulation
— Will there be a new NRA? Very certainly not In the
first place the decision in the Jones
and Laughlin case does not veil-
date federal minimum wage legis-
MiNIMUM PAY BILL
"lation and NRA was primarily a
:minimum wage law
The Court reversal may have un- DEATH THREATENED
latched the door
for such a law
Personal but it did not
open that door
Comment The Washington
state minimum
— wage decision
'applies only to the wages of women
The significance of the latter case
is that it knocked out the hoary
old heresy that such statutes are
in violation of the due process
misuse of the constitution
Two Bars Down
The net advance by the Court
thus far then knocks out two old
!barriers to laws like NRA—that
clabor contracts in national menu-
dacture are not commerce that laws
regulating wages impair liberty of
contract and take property without
'clue process of law To that extent
they encourage wage legislation
Zut NRA went further still
It amended the anti-trust prin-
ciple The latter says that any com-
binations in restraint of trade are
illegal In almost every other indus-
trial country only combinations in
testraint of trade and not in the
public interest are illegal NRA
tried to apply the latter principle
tin the United States
It was political poison and the
A dministration lost its nerve as the
attacks by Sen Borah and others
became too hot It permitted the
Federal Trade Commission to take
action against industries for viola-
:tion of the anti-trust acts when all
they were doing was complying with
the NRA It deferred getting these
two agencies together and making
any decision on what the policy of
this Administration really is on this
Arital point It hasn't made any de-
cision on this point yet That is an-
:other reason why there will be no
IRA
Mr Roosevelt is at last succeed-
flg in making collective bargaining
'something more than a sham In-
7clustry ought to recognize this and
pegin to co-operate But at this
time a new labor act should now be
written to make both sides respon-

leaders in home counties of opposi-
tion legislators
Proponents of the bill failing by
a lone vote yesterday to attach the
emergency declared they will call
it up for the second test some time
during the day and expressed con-
fidence that the overnight trading
had assured them the needed 78
votes
"Well put 'er on" declared Floor
Leader James C Nance adding that
he will have a margin of six or
seven votes
Other Work Halted
Other major legislation was pend-
ing during the afternoon Including
the $1000000 free textbook proposal
but legislators were so tense over
the road issue that they could not
concentrate on other issues
Proponents of organized labor in
the House and representatives of
various labor unions who form the
labor lobby were given to under-
stand that the important minimum
wage bill will not be called up until
after the road note issue is dis-
posed of
They were promised that admin-
istration leadership of the House'
will be swung behind the minimum
wage bill and two other major la-
bor measures if and when the
emergency is attached to the road
bill The other labor measures are
a proposed reorganization and ex-
pansion of the state Department of
Labor and a bill limiting the length
of freight trains
Nichols On House Floor
Sen Al G Nichols of Wewoka
author of the bill who has spent
all of his time on the House floor
working for the bill was there
again today busily cornering recal-
citrant House members One of
those to whom he talked Rep
Murrell Thornton of Muskogee said
openly he will switch Rep Thorn-
ton is particularly interested in the
improvement of U S 69
Administration forces also were
counting on the votes of Rep Her-
bert Braun Muskogee who voted
against them on the emergency yes-
terday and Rep Glade Kirkpatrick
Tulsa who was absent yesterday
Rep Leon C Phillips of Okemah
was leading the minority forces at-
tempting to block the emergency
He was remaining quiet on the re-
sults of his work
Some Reported Hiding Out
Only 85 of the 117 members an-
swered roll call at 10 a in today
but the remainder were straggling
in all through the morning It was
reported that more than one House
member might find it conveniently
necessary to be out of the city to-
day An absent vote counts as a
"No" vote
The emergency clause is the
crucial issue because the bill will
not become effective for 90 days
unless it is attached That even-
tuality would permit 90 days in
which to circulate a referendum
petition to make the bill inopera-
tive A total of 45000 signatures
would be required
Administration forces were in the
position of being forced to settle
the issue today 'Under House rules
the motion to reconsider made yes-
terday by Rep Jesse Taylor of
Woodward is the sole possession of
Rep Taylor for today only
Chance Remains In Senate
If he does not put his motion to-
day any House member can put it
tomorrow and opposition forces can
spring it at a time when full ad-
ministration strength is not present
In the chamber
Even if administration forces
should be defeated they will have
one more chance kt it The bill must
go back to the Senate for concur-
rence in House amendments The
Senate could throw it into confer-
ence thus requiring another House
roll call on the emergencv issue
Vote on the bill yesterday was 80
to 34 and on the emergency 78
to 38
Farm-Labor Protest Falls
The overwhelming vote for the
bill came despite the protest earlier
in the afternoon from approximate-
ly 400 farmers and members of or-
ganized labor who gathered in the
galleries and sent the House a for-
mal petition attacking the road bill
and initiative revision measure
Today's developments on the road
bill included a declaration by L
V Orton former highway commis
removed the shells gave the gun
back and wished him a happy day

11-MAN COURT
BEFORE SENATE
Administration Supporter Of-
fers Amendment to
President's Proposal
BY United Press
WASHINGTON April 15 — Sen
Pat McCarran (D Nev) member
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
today introduced an amendment to
President Roosevelt's court bill pro-
viding for a flat increase of the
high tribunal toll members
The amendment coming from a
staunch Administration supporter
and at a time when Congressional
demands for compromise were in-
creasing Was considered as a pos-
sible basis for solution of controversy
over the President's proposal to add
six new members to the Court
McCarran's itmendment would
eliminate the President's proposal
to add one new justice for every
justice who fails to retire at 10
years of age It would simply in-
crease the membership of the Court
from nine to 11
The proposal is the result of
long study and search for a solu-
tion" the Senator said "It comes
partly as a result of the National
Labor Relations Act decisions and
partly as a result of increased busi-
ness of the Court"
McCarran's proposal was sub-
mitted at a moment when the Ju-
diciary committee is split over the
question of ending public hearings
on the President's plan The group
will vote Saturday whether to cut
off testimony and begin private
consideration of the program

INITIATIVE CURB
CONCESSION DUE
Senate HeadOffers Change to
Stop Mounting Opposition
First concessions toward liberal-
izing the strict initiative and ref-
erendum proposal in the Senate
were made today by Presiding Sen
Al a Nichols ea actior1 on the bill
drew near
He declared he will 'be willing to
amend the bill to provide that the
county clerk may 'designate pre-
cinct registrars to take signatures
on petition's instead of keeping pe-
titions Only at the office of the
clerk
Sen Nichols' concession on the
initiative petition bill came as the
storm of criticism against the
measure continued to grow The
farmers and labor men who gath-
ered at the capitol yesterday de-
clared their first purpose in assem-
bling was to oppose the bill
Referendum Death Seen
In its present form it would out-
law free circulation of petitions
providing instead that citizens must
go to the office of the county clerk
during a 10-day period to sign
Opponents of the bill declared it
would kill the right of the initia-
tive and referendum
''I've agreed to go part way with
them" said Sen Nichols leader of
the move to tighten petition re-
strictions "I think the county
clerk should be authorized to ap-
point precinct registrars to take
signatures at the registration place"
Cheek Not Satisfied
President Tom Cheek of the Okla-
homa Farmers' Union said the con-
cession offered by Sen Nichols is
not satisfactory
"It's not enough" he said "Every
citizen who is a legally qualified
voter should have the right to pe-
tition his government any time
anywhere We're against anything
that would restrict the right of free
circulation of petitions and that
would still be a restriction"
The measure is set for early con-
sideration in the Senate
SCHOOL DEFICIENCY
FUND BILL REVIVED
Education Leader Pleads for
$750000 Measure
School boc leaders succeeded in
pumping life into the $750000 de-
ficiency school appropriation bill
today and placed the measure back
on the calendar
The bill was killed a week ago
when the House tied on a vote to
put the measure on the calendar
by a majority report Speaker J
T Daniel declared the bill killed
Rep Louis Gossett moved to re-
consider the bill today and was up-
held by a 57 to 38 count
Rep Gossett said he would intro-
duce an amendment to cut the ap-
propriation to 8500000
BIG FREE BOOK BILL
DUE TO GET ACTION
Consideration Also Set On Tax For
Slot Machines
House action is scheduled today
on twa measures pushed forward by
Speaker J T Daniel an appropria-
tion of $1000000 for free textbooks
and a companion measure taxing
slot-operated games
Speaker Daniel estimated the new
tax would bring in enough revenue
to finance the school book pur-
chase He declared his bill is so
worded that it will not invalidate
present textbook adoptions
Slot machines would not be legal-
ized he declared but only "games
of skill andilamusement"

ing last night when 150 farm and

House-Senate Disagreement
May Kill Measure
A deadlock on the proposed chain

won adoption of a rate schedule
unsatisfactory to sponsors of the
bill in the House
The conferees voted 8 to 7 for
