Harrison, Smith Lambast
Labor Bill as Blow '

Roll Call Is Checked as
Administration Croup
Becomes Nervous
1 '
WASHINGTON, July 30 -JP-Eouthern
oratory of the old fash
ioned, full-voiced type reinvig
orated today1 a movement to
bury the administration wage
and honr bill in a senate com
mittee. ; -
Led by Senator Harrison of
Mississippi and Senator Smith
(D-SC), the southerners almost
to a man banded together in an
outright revolt against the mea
sure. Harrison shouted the bill
would set up a labor standards
board which could destroy "bus
iness, large and small, by its ad
ministrative fiats."
Smith said the measure is in
tended to "check the inevitable,
rise of the south from the lowly
condition in which the war be
tween the states left it."
"Why don't we call in God
and tell Him to stop this bus
iness of giving one section more
natural advantages than anoth
er?" Smith asked.
Hacking of Green ,
Is Counted Upon
Administration leaders, who
earlier counted the battle won
when William Green, president"
of tne American Feaerauon 01
Labor, urged the bill's passage,
hurriedly checked the senate roll
call. They reported that there
were still enough votes to pass
the bill, though they were ob
viously worried. ;
The bill Itself would establish
a board, equipped with author
ity to make , surveys in individ
ual Industries and prescribe for
them, in its discretion, minimum
hours of not less tban 40 week
ly, .and minimum wages of not
more than 40 cents an hour.
As for the bill the "philan
thropic and eleemosynary spirit"
behind it is nothing but a "vote
getting proposition," Smith said,
and claimed the measure is de
signed to repress the south eco
nomically. Harrison in closing told the
senate one reason for his opposi
tion to the bill was that "Mad
ame Perkins" would have a hand
In administering it.
Tint h centered his criticism
upon the proposed board.
"I' don't want to give that
much power to anybody," he
shouted. -
An amendment by Senator
XIcGill (D-Kas) which would ex
empt persons delivering farm
products to markets was ap
proved. Double Hatcliery

MARSHFIELD. Ore., July 30.-(pv-Governor

Asserting that "we must make
Oregon a sportsman's paradise,"
he suggested that 35,000,000 tin
gerllngs and 100,000 pheasants
be liberated in 1938.
"Such an attraction will bring
as thousands of tourists," he
aid.
"Tourists have money to spend
with os. But we must remember
that the t o u r i s t who races
through our state at 70 miles an
hour isn't the one who spends the

WASHINGTON, July 20-JP)-Representative
Rankin (D-Mlss)
said today "outrages" perpetrated
by representatives of the national
labor relations board are threat
ening to wreck the Roosevelt ad
ministration. Taking issue with the presi
dent's recent statement that the
board, has been fair to both capi
tal and labor, Rankin said the
chief executive evidently had been
misinformed.
The Mississippian expressed be
lief Mr. Roosevelt would "call a
halt" if he knew the facts. The
facts are, he declared, that out
rages have been committed by
board agents in conjunction with
communistic influences; that
small manufacturers now are be

and that brutal treatment has
been meted out to citizens by
"this unholy combination" tinder

$48,000 School Building
I Made Possible as Tax
Favored by 63 to 9
PWA Assistance Will B.
Available as Result
of Policy Change
Jefferson school district at a
special meeting Friday voted an
additional tax of $5400 which
removes the last barrier, other
than an allocation by the PWA,
to construction of a new $48,000
school building there, Jefferson
residents reported.
The affirmative vote on the
special tax was 62 to 9.
Previously the district had
voted a bond issue of $21,000
for cooueration with PWA in the
school building project, but the
additional tax was found neces
sary to meet the government's
requirements.
Reinstatement of the 45-a&
per cent matching regulation by
the PWA paved the way for re
viving the project. Under the
previous arrangement which had
prevailed for several months, the
Jefferson district would not have
been able to proceed with its
plans.
All other requirements have
been met, Jefferson district offi
cials declared. Plans for tne
building had been drawn pre
viously by C. N. Freeman, Port
land architect.
The building, of brick veneer
construction, will house both the
grade and high school Glasses.
There will be ten classrooms.

Firemen's Voices
Fail Terribly as
Siren Substitute
BERKELEY, Calif., July 20
; - (JP) - Residents of decorous
Berkeley were astonished toaay
to see a fire truck speeding to
a fire with a group of firemen
leaning far forward and crying
In unison, "aw-oo!" in an abys
mally poor Imitation of a siren.
Nothing like It had ever hap
pened in Berkeley before, and
half the town trailed the truck
for an explanation. It came
when the truck" drew up before
a burning shed, and the tire
men, after swallowing throat
troches, went to work.
What had happened was that
the truck was on the way to the
fire when suddenly the siren,;
went dead.
The boss fireman, seeing a
department tradition in peril,
decided that something should,
be done. n
"All right, you guys, start
wah-hooing," said he. "WeTe;
got to have a siren."

Enactment This Season
Sought With one Eye
on Likely Revenue
WASHINGTON, July 30.-p)-A
congressional tax committee, in
agreement on proposed methods
for sealing revenue law loop
holes, arranged today to put Its
recommendations into bill form
next week.
Members did not disclose what
suggestions they would make to
congress.
They have dropped hints the
legislation might Increase surtax
os, restrict deductions allowed to
personal holding companies, ad
Just reductions for such incorpor
ated hobbies as yachts and boost
the levies of non-resident aliens
Committeemen Indicated the
administration desires to have the
legislation enacted before ad-
pournment so it may apply to the
present calendar year and pro
duce Some $150,000,000 to $250,-
000,000 of additional revenue.
Chairman Doughton (D-NC)
said, however, the committee is
more Interested in preventing con
tinued loss of revenue through
use of tax avoidance devices than
in bringing in more money.
Probably the legislation will
not embrace all tax dodging me
thods, he said, because insuffi
cient Information has been obtain
ed to cope with some. But the
more Important ones will be cov
ered, he added.
The committee will assemble
again Tuesday. By that time, the
chairman asserted, it hopes to
have its report to house and sen
ate ready and a bill drafted for
consideration.-- - ,

New hostilities started when Japanese forces attacked a

city had brought no reply from Chinese guns. This had led to
the belief that Japanese domination of the city was complete.
