WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 16.
Personal relations between the White
House and a number of Democratic
congressmen ar.
In need of mend
ing. No one says
much about It.
but It explains a
lot of the Inside
troubles the ad
ministration )-!
been having
with Its legisla
tive program dur
ing the closing
days.
There was
something
raul Mallon
of that element In the difficulties
experienced with Chairman Smith of
the senate agriculture committee and
Chairman Steagall of the house bank
ing committee over the Tugwell nom
ination and the housing Dill
, Ordinarily, the chairman of the
senate agricultural committee la
fairly big shot as regards agricultural
policies. That has not been so since
Smith became chairman. The orlgl
nal AAA bllla were Introduced and
championed by Floor Leader Robin
son and others last year.
Then. In this session, along came
the cotton bill. If thcro Is one thing
senator Smith is more Interested In
than patronage. It Is cotton, His nick
name Is "Cotton Ed." But, when the
latest AAA cotton bill was proposed,
It was not Smith, but Senator Bank
head, who undertook the leadership
for the administration.
Mr. Steagall has had almost the
same experience as chairman of the
house banking committee. Speaker
Ralney ent out of his way to keep
several administration bills from fall
ing into Mr. Staegall's hands early ill
the session.
There are two sides to this story,
u to all othera.
The administration boys say pri
vately that Messrs. Smith and Stea
gall were, at heart, opposed to ad
ministration principles on agriculture
and banking, and that the adminis
tration wanted Its bills handled by
Its friends.
That may be, but the result is that
no one can expect Messrs. Smith and
Steagall to do or die lor the admin
istration. The most disappointed Democrat
in congress during the last week
has been President Roosevelt's good
friend. Senator Wagner. He was not
not at all pleased when the president
Indicated that he would accept a
modified labor board bill. Wagner
wanted Mr. Roosevelt to stand by his
original bill.
Wagner has been unable to make
up his mind for several days whether
he would even vote In favor of a
compromise. He undoubtedly will in
the end, but with misgivings.
It cannot be said that he is angry,
hut it cannot be denied that he Is
thoroughly disappointed.
An equally good friend of the pres
ident Is Chairman Hayburn of the
house interstate commerce commit
tee. He fought and bled for all the
administration bills intrusted to him
until the oil bill came along.
Mr. Rayburn Is from east Texas,
nnrf the oil men around that area are
possibly less favorable to the oil code
than in any oilier section, mw .
Mr. Rayburn Is representing his dis
trict in congress and not the presl
itent. So he sat down upon the oil
bill, saying that, if the president
asked him as a matter of friendship
to report the measure, he would try
tA rio so. but not otherwise.
Mr. Roosevelt heard about that and
railed Mr. Rayburn on the teiepnone,
There was nothing for Mr. Rayburn
rin hut to be a cood soldier. He
uhriiittfd the oil bill to his commit
... .nri voted with the president. He
was defeated, 12 to S, and the oil bill
was dead.
The explanation Is that the other
committee members talked with cer-
tain Democratic senators and were
told that the bill would never be
pasted in the senate. They felt that
they might as wen kiu h.
The upshot Is the same. Mr. Roose
velt did not have enough good sol
dlers to savo the bill.
The moral of the situation Is that
bread cast upon political waters re
turns more swiftly than upon ordi
nary seas. The secret of good poll-
tics Is to have all friends and n
enemies.
A snubbed politician never forgets.
There Is no need to tell how good
or bsd the NRA Is today on Its first
birthday. General Johnson and Clar
ence Darrow will attend to that.
What they will not tell is how big It
Is. No figures hsve ever been given
out. but you can get them from the
right parties.
These show that NRA population
has Jumped to 3000. It has Its own
postoffice. telegraph office, railroad
ticket office and publishes its own
dally newspaper. Last month Its wage
bill was over half a million dollars.
It has two huge floors of the com
merce bvllldlng and overflows Into
eight other office buildings. Its tele
nhone director list 2600 extensions.
and It has two private wires to Ncwj
York. Every day It gets 4000 letters

Agreement Signed By Em
ployers And Return To
Work Monday Pending
Arbitration Of Hours,
Wages Predicted Ore
gonians Rejoice.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. (AP)
A formula for settlement of the long
and turbulent strike of Pacific coast
longshoremen was signed here today
by employers, union representatives
and commercial organizations.
Ratification of the agreement by a
two-thirds vote of the union mem
bership Involved was made necessary
by the pact, but union leaders im
mediately predicted the workers
would approve it quickly and end
the walkout that had virtually par
alyzed sea commerce since May 9.
The chief points of the settlement
were the employers' recognition of
the union, agreement on a clause for
co-operative operation of the disput
ed hiring halls or employment agen
cies and a neutral attitude toward
union and non-union men.
The agreement provided that the
men shall return to work Monday.
June 18, and that the existing dis
putes on hours and basic wages shall
be submitted to further arbitration.
The longshoremen had demanded In
creases from 86 cets to H and hour,
and a 30-hour week.
After nearly five hours discussion,
the pact finally was approved by both
sides. Mayor Rossi Immediately an
nounced the settlement and Joseph
P. Ryan, president of the Interna
tional Longshoremen's association,
and William J. Lewis, district presi
dent, said they would submit the
proposal to the membership along the
const at a p. m. toomorrow.
"We believe this Is the best agree
ment for settlement of this coast
wise strike that could be reached,"
Ryan and Lewis said In a Joint state
ment. Mayor Rossi acted as mediator dur
ing the final hours and issued a
statement praising both sides for their
co-operation.
The agreement was signed by the
waterfront employers' unions of San
Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Los
Angeles, the International Longshore
men's association, the teamsters'-unions
of San Francisco and Seattle,
the Industrial Association of San
Francisco, and Mayor Rossi.
PORTLAND, Ore., June 16. (AP)
Oregonlans rejoiced tonight that set
tlement of the longshoremen's strike
was In sight, and prayed the latest
plan would not flivver.
Farmers, Industrialists, small busi
ness men and workers all will re
joice at the sight of hustling, sweat
ing stevedores once again- moving
freight to the accompaniment of
squeaking winches, rattling dollies
and deep whistles of cargo-laden ves
sels sounding farewells.
Portland longshoremen will meet
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to
hear details of the settlement agree
ment signed by their representatives
at San Francisco.
Employers announced they expect
ed to have their registered workmen
report at the hiring hall Monday.
Local leaders felt Portland long
shoremen would ratify the agree
ment. Wheat resting on railroad sidings
is ready for shipment on some of the
33 Idle vessels here. Pears and ap
ples soon will be ready for export.
Lumber for all parts of the world Is
awaiting shipment while hundreds of
lumberjacks and mill workers are
awaiting the go sign to return to
work.
Many men promised a Job "when
ihe strike ends" will rejoice.
Portland policemen who have been
forced to postpone vacations and
work as long as 12 hours a day Join-
ed the fervent hope that the settle
ment was in sight,
The Portland emu'.oyers and work
era were brought together by a cltl
sens' committee of three headed by
Governor Julius L. Meier. Franklin
T. Orlfflth, president of the Port,
land Power company, and H. V. Al
ward, manager of the Bank of Cali
fornia In Portland, were the other
members.
After both sides had tired of the
long days of Impasse short-lived hopes
Governor Meier and his committee
, con,erred with each group separately
and then brought them Into a mutual
conference.

In an attack on NRA, Senator Nye

Recess Till Monday After
Senators Rebuked For
Dilatory Tactics Farm
Mortgage Act Presented
In Political Maneuvering.
WASHINGTON, June 18. (AP)
Congress came squarely to tbe edge
of adjournment tonight and there
met demands for so much additional
legislation that a recces was taken
over to Monday.
With all the key pieces of leglsUv
tlon that the administration had In
sisted upon out of the way. senators
pressed demands for action of a farm :
mortgage moratorium bill and rail-
road labor legislation so hard that
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the '
Democratic leader, gave up hope of
finishing tonight.
Fourteen and a half hours of work
had been done by the senate and
thirteen and a half by the house
when the bells clanged out the word
of recess.
During that time, housing, defi
ciency appropriation, labor arbitra
tion and other major measures sought
by President Roosevelt- had been all
but disposed of. But a few finish
ing touches remained.
Senator Long of Louisiana was one
of those who pressed the farm mort
gage issue. A half dozen other sena-tci-s
came forward with demands for
other measures.
Robinson finally arose to repri
mand hts colleagues for the obstruct
ive tactics and assert it was "Im
possible to conduct public business
under conditions such as those which
have arisen tonight.'
His move to recess came suddenly
and without warning and in the
midst of efforts to get up a bill to
set up completely new machinery for
settling railway labor disputes, an
omnibus bank measure, and a bill to
assist farmers to regain their fore
closed properties under a virtual six
year moratorium on their obligations.
"There are a number of important
bills the administration would like
to see passed but Is willing to defer
until next session," Robinson said
"A great deal of work has been
done by the present session. Pro
ceedings have been amicable and
harmonious. There Jim Iwen a .incis
ure of co-operation truly commend'
able and It is to be regretted that
personal feelings should be vented In
debate to the discredit of those who
yielded to those Impulses and to the
Impairment of the dignity and repu
tatlon of the senate.

business under conditions such
L. .v, mV, ,-
Thereupon he put the motion for
a recess until noon Monday. A few
minutes later a similar motion was
put in the house by Representative
Byrnes of Tennessee, the Democratic
leader, and members headed for their
Washington apartments.
Many of them already had pur
chased tickets and made railway res
ervations In the hope of leaving for
their homes tonight.
At the time of the recess, work
hsd been completed on the loans to
Industry bill, on the labor dispute
arbitration measure, the housing pro
gram was In conference between the
house and senate, and the dlflclency

to quit there.

Airplanes will drone back and forth

Mix-up Seek Control Of
Legislature Argue All
Night.
R.OSEBURG, Ore., June 16. (ip)
Definite reaction for an independent
candidate for governor, to be named
at a state-wide convention which may
be called soon, and support of Peter
Zimmerman of Yamhill county aa the
nominee of that convention were ijf
ntflcant factors in the annual Oregon
State grange session which closed here
early today.
The grange expressed official op
position to legislative candidates who
do not support the specified grange
program, and criticized the federal
agricultural adjustment administra
tion. These were the outstanding politi
cal development of the annual meet
ing, held here the last four days of
the week.
The sentiment for an Independent
candidate was the result of a general
ly expressed feeling within the grange
against the nominees of the domin
ant portles. The reaction reached the
point where tt waa authentically re
ported a state meeting to nominate
an Independent candidate would be
held, possibly during July.
