CABINET EYES
AUGUSTA CASE
Washington, Aug. 21 ift Presi
dent Roosevelt and his. cabinet,
.studying every report from the
31 no-Japanese conflict, followed ft
policy of "watchful waiting" today.
It was a Japanese shell, the cab
inet was told, that struck the Au
gusta. flagship of the United States
Asiatic fleet, and killed one sailor
and wounded 18 others.
Mr. Roosevelt rebuked at his press
conference private individuals who
called for invocation of the neutral
ity act, which bars shipments of
war materials to belligerent nations.
Government officials, he said,
probably know more about the sit
uation than outsiders.
The state department has with
held recommendations that the neu
trality restrictions be laid down.
The workings of the law In this sit
uation, officials have said, would
handicap only one nation, pre
sumably China.
Secretary Hull said that the
United States will continue to pro
tect Its citizens.
Hull said government officials
had expressed no belief that the
shell that struck the Augusta was
fired In any hostile manner.
He declined to say whether the
state department had information
as to the origin of the shell, but.
added that navy officials probably
would be able to determine its source
and size.

nounced today that the fire on

to bum Itself out, loggers from two
nearby camps can handle it, they
believe. Mountains around the fire
area were still smoke covered today
but humidity was high and skies
overcast, bringing some hops of

LEWIS TAKES
BOLDER STEP
Washington, Aug. 21 (U.PJ John L.
Lewis today carried his political di
vergence from the new deal one step
farther by warning that the demo
cratic party Is unable to carry out
campaign pledges and that "wa are
witnessing a major test of our gov.
eramental system."
The Lewis pronouncement, lmpell'
ed by failure of congress to enact
wages-hours legislation, wa issued
by labor's non-partisan league, a
possible vehicle of third party pout,
ical maneuvers.
The next Indication of the labor
leader' plan 1 expected to be un
folded In a speech September 3.
Lewis, during the summer, quietly
seized control of the league and
turned It into a "political arm" of
hi committee for Industrial organ
ization. This maneuver was accom
plished through the ouster of Sen
ator George L. Berry, ID., Tenn.) as
president of the body and a further
"purge" of-American Federation of
Labor Influences in it set-up.
"Positive governmental action I
necessary," Lewis warned, "If we are
to correct basic abuses In our In-
dustrial life. The chaos of unchecked
private power In Industry will In
evltably culminate In new and prob
ably greater business depression un
less the workers and the farmers of
the nation are given legal protection
of their basic rights."
It wa the alleged failure of the
president to see to it that such "pro
tection" was afforded participant in
the C I O.' unsuccessful steel strike
which caused the first rupture of
friendly relations with the White
House.
Lewis' mention of farmers also was
deemed significant. The CIO. has
recently begun an intensive drive to
unionize agricultural and cannery
workers and ha made no secret of
It ambitions to expand In that dl
rectlon.

GRIST OF WORK
POSTPONED TO
NEXT SESSION
(Continued from pag 1
congress neared adjournment today
but with so much of it original pro
gram postponed that members half
expected President Roosevelt to call
them back In two months.
Majority Leader Rayburn (D.,
Tex.) predicted this session end
will come "by sundown."
Two major piece of legislation
went to the White House yesterday
the sugar quota bill and the tax loop
hole plugging measure.
The tax bill wa certain of approv
al. The president had asked for it
when he found revenue wa far below
expectation last spring. It hit par
ticularly at what treasury officials
said was the use by the wealthy of
personal holding companies to avoid
taxes.
The senate also sent a (34,000,000
flood control bill to the White House.
The president Indicated he would
sign It, although not approving of
all it provisions.
Mr. Roosevelt vetoed a bill to set
(2000 as the minimum annual pay
for united States marshal.
The senate approved late yester
day a (150,000,000 deficiency appro
priation bill and sent it to confer
ence. The house had passed it earlier
in the amount of (96,000,000.
The house worked late at a night
session acting on nearly two private
bills a minute and sustaining that
speed for almost an hour.
Representative O'Connor ID.. N
Y.) presiding, hammered through
decisions on 107 measure In 55 min
ute. Of these, 04 passed and 13 were
blocked by objection.
The court bill, defeated in the face
of an unremitting White House bat
tle in its behalf, wa the most Im
portant of the Roosevelt request
mat went uninieo.
It broke the democratic party Into
warring groups that were pacified
oniy on tne surface by efforts to re
store harmony.
Mr. Roosevelt, however, did not
regard the battle as one waged in
vain. Me let It be known that he
believed good had resulted, that the
supreme court had been changed

tation to one of "Judicial" Judgment.

The court did liberalize it stand

clauses or tne constitution. The de
cision upholding the Wagner labor
relations act stamped approval on
one of the president's most-desired
pieces of legislation.
Before they paused to appraise
what happened during the session
now ending, congressmen turned
their thoughts to what did not hap
pen. Shelving of wage-hour, farm
control and government reorganiza
tion bills held a possibility of a spe
cial session in October.
The wage-hour bill met a peculiar
fate. Passed by the senate over
southern objections, it never reach
ed the floor of the house. The house
rules committee, a majority of its
members opposed to the legislation
refused to let it come up for debate.
The general crop control legisla
tion President Roosevelt asked for
this session also fell by the wayside.
Congress did pledge, in a resolution
sent to the White House yesterday.
to make such legislation the first
order of business at the next ses
sion, whether It be a special term
this fall or the regular session next
January.
Other highlights of the session, in
brief:
Approval of a (1.500.000.000 ap
propriation for relief In the 1938
fiscal year.
Establishment, In a small way, of
a program to help tenant farmers
become property owners.
Washington, Aug. 31 (Pi Senate
and house conferees reached an
agreement today on the (150,000,000
deficiency appropriation bill, one of
the last obstacles lo adjournment.
Senator Byrnes cD-SCI said the
conference committee had voted
after three hour of argument to ap
prove a provision authorizing the
administration to peg cotton prices
at 12 cent a pound by means of a
subsidy.
The subsidy will be paid out of a
(66,000,000 fund allocated from cus
toms receipts and specially earmark
ed for farm benefit. It would not in
crease the total of cash outlays au
thorized In the bill.
He added that a number of minor
items, added by the senate, had
been stricken out of the bill in con
ference. The bill provides (50,000,000 to fi
nance the new sugar production con
trol program, (20.000,000 for farm
tenancy and marginal land purchase.
and many small sum for park land
developments, federal buildings, and
reclamation projects.
It also carries authorization for
government subsidies up to (65.000,

available, for the purpose of peg

pound.
Cotton raisers would be guaran

figure and the market price, so long

Washington, Aug. 21 UP) The
house approved a compromise form

BOARD OF AFL
NOT IN HARMONY
Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 21 (IP) A
fight within the American Federa
tion of Labor's executive council ov
er wage and hour legislation was
forecast in usually well-informed
quarters today a members met to
draft plans for a fall campaign a
gainst John L. Lewis' C.I.O.
A few old-line federation leaders
were expected to make a last-ditch
fight to keep the AFL from support
ing revival of the federal wage and
hour bill that the house rules com
mittee killed at this session of con
gress. William Green, federation
president, supported this bill over
the protest of these old-line leaders.
He assailed the rules committee
for refusing to allow the measure
to go to the house floor for a vote.
John Coefield, president of the
plumbers, said his union was against
any wage and hour legislation, ex
cept for women and children, and
that he would oppose It enactment.
Several other building and metal
trades union leaders were in Coe
field's camp. Some leader predicted
the whole issue might be fought out
at the federation's Denver conven
tion next October.
The council decided:
1. To consolidate AFL ranks and
to conduct a coordinated organiza
tion campaign throughout American
Industry.
2. To set aside, temporarily, the
federation's traditional policy of en
rolling workers Into craft unions
when Industrial organization wa
more feasible.
1. To increase the federation's
war chest" by doubling dues. All
AFL union now are supposed to pay
