President Roosevelt to-day engage¢ Congress. in a new spectacular due! involving the matter of crop loans and ihe Wages and Hours bill.
Developments to-day featured the action of members of the farm bloc. who threatened to block all legislation, pending a settlement of farm problems.
It appeared clear to many observers to-day that President Roosevelt, smarting under the defeat of his Supreme Court Reform Bill, was at present using a different strategy to deal with the present problems.
The struggle vitally affects the agrarian west and south. Both regions fear that a slump in prices will result from bumper crops, The same problem, however, also affects the industrial east, where workers are demi ling higher wages to meet th* rising cost of living.
The Wages and Hours Bill was President Roosevelt's reply to the nation's low-paid workers, but 100 southern Congressmen have voiced their strong opposition to the measure, fearing the retardation of industrial growth in their part of the country. It was worthy of note that the southerners, plus the Republican bloc, could control the House of Representatives Rules Committee.
President Roosevelt remained adamant to-day in his refusal to authorized cotton stabilization loans until he is assured of the passage of crop control measures at the next session of Congress, At the same time he clearly tndicated that he expected the Wages and Hours Bill to be passed at the present session, His stand led some to believe that the passage of the Wages and hours bill would smooth the way to cotton loan action, The Secretary of Agriculture, Mr Henry A. Allace, complicated the situation by announcing that crop control legislation would have to be enacted before January.—United Press,
