MAILT D By Paul Mallon (Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon. WASHINGTON, May 4. The atmo aphera 1a not the only thing which has been balmy around here lately. The boys wno lui been negoti ating the NRA compromise have been at least 20 degree hotter and dlraler than the tmeprature. For Instance, oongreeamen em erged lrom Presi dent Roosevelt's office , one day and , announced they had been . LVVI .-- I' A I I. SIAI.LO.N unable to agree about ..n NRA compromise. Shortly thereafter, efficient Senator Pat Har rison announced to his finance com mittee tliat the president would ac cept the. compromise. chairman Doughton. at the other side of the ' eapltol immediately Implied the president would not. New Dealer Roper prBlsod the com promise. Indicating It had adminis tration approval. NRA-er Harrlman m a press conference then railed agaJnat the compromise, Indicating It ws unacceptable. When Harrlmnn was told what Roper had said, he decided to see Coordlnitor Rlchberg, who apparently was coordlnatlns something else at that moment. Mr, Harrlman return ed with the news that Mr. Rlchberg would not utter n word and Implied that Flcnberg was In a condition of allent d-Jecllon about, the compro- 1,1 But wl.en New Denier Koper learned what NRA-er Harrlman had said, he eent out word to cancel his original approval of the compromise. It was cancelled by newspapers between edi tions. To top It all off. the administration senators then approved the compro mise in the senate finance commit tee and reported It to the senate. This ' left nearly everyone In a complete state of confusion as to who was for what, If anyihlng. The answer to all this uncoordinat ed commcntlnn Is simple. What Mr. Roosevelt actually said In the first place was that he did not approve the compromise, but he would not veto It. If congress approved It. Tills was the same as telling congress to go ahead and approve It. Because congressmen were ready to grasp any way out. It did not take them long to catch on. but some of the New Dealers required a llttlo longer time. As every good prisoner knows. It Is sometimes necessary to create con fusion In order to escape. That l.i what seems to have been done In this Instance. The confusion, however, has only atarted. Tlioce who favor the NRA and those who are acainst It appar ently believe they arc accomplishing their puvposca in the compromise. One side Is golnts to be fooled. The best Inside opinion Is that the compromise Is merely a side-step. It does not mean anything except that J KRA prestige may suffer. The compromise proposed two 'changes": (1) Abolition of price con trol, and (2) withdrawal from Intra state business. What those two chanpes amount to will depend on who interprets them. And the answer to that i the NRA will Interpret them until the supreme court does. This means the supreme court and not eonnress will decide the future of the NRA. The inside- on abolish! nc price fixing la this: The NRA outlawed price-fixing, as such, six months rro. H abolished dlrcot price regulation in several codes at that time, an more recently tn the lumber code. But It did not abolish the steel basin? point srsiem and similar little device which It does not consider to be price fixing. Alf-o vou may suspect it mean.- de struction of the NRA If you a boll n Its control over Intranstate business. The secret of that 1 the NRA never considered an: of its activities as in fluencing intra-stnte business. It has ilwava $reed thit It never had anv influence over business conducted purelv within a mate. It stretched it lenal imagination jtomewtm when it sdopted the ser vice rod.

CORVALLIS. Ore.. May 4. ( AP) -Hailing rural electrification in Ore gon as the problem of the hour. Gov ernor Charles H. Martin lashed out here in asides from a prepared ad dress against "crack pots" and "tin i horn politicians" who, he said deliberately misrepresenting his stand on the power question. i The governor was the principal speaker at a banquet attended by 650 ( persons at Oregon State college. Agri- ; cultural leaders from many parts of the state, and college and high school students in agriculture. Joined with the future farmers of America in. the annual state convention of the or ganization. Martin declared construction of main transmission lines from the Bonneville dam is a federal responsi bility and that he has urged Presi dent Roosevelt to authorize such con struction as a part of the original program. After power Is taken to the logical points- of distribution, rural communities may utilize Oregon power district laws to distribute It locally, he explained. "Isn't that plain enough?" he de manded. '.'Yet Inside of 24 hours I'll be mis represented again by cheap tin-horn politicians who have seized control of the grange of this state," the gov ernor declared. "But I will continue to advance the program which I know is for the benefit of the great body of farmers to whose welfare I am devoutly devoted." Returning to his prepared address the governor amplified his stand by saying rural electrification is receiv ing his closest and most careful at tention; that Oregon Is In no posi tion to assume an unnecessary bur den of spending $60,000,000 for main transmission lines from Bonneville, and that the program Is of such vital Importance that it must be kept out of petty politics. Oregon's "share-the-wealth" fol lowers of Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, received another thrust from the executive when mentioned ! that they had been warning him he j will be recalled for daring to spurn a "defeatist" program. "Rather than surrender to such crack-pots," the governor declared. "I'll say their whole crew can go . I where you know I think they can." Urging state unity, he said that "before we are farmers, lawyers or merchants, we are Orcgonlans." fac ing a period of outstanding state de velopment. "I warn you," he said, "of the per ils which lurk in social and political Intolerance, When popular discontent and passion are stimulated by the art of designing partisans to a pitch perilously near class hatred, I would have our colleagues sound the alarm in the name of American brotherhood and fraternal dependence."

T GENERAL WALKOUT umber Workers Due To Strike Monday Unless Wage Agreement Reach ed At Longview Confer ence 5000 Mill Hands Quit. SEATTLE. May 4. f AF) With the "zero hour" approaching tn tn threatened general strike of lum ber workers Monday, labor unrest tn Pacific Northwest lumber, beer, garment and shipping Industries be came acute today. , Five thousand men were on strike in "advance walkouts" today from Washington and Oregon mills, and unless unionist and operators can agree on wage and hour demands, 30.000 additional lumber workers are due to strike in the Northwest Mon day. The Sawmill and Timber Workers -union is demanding 75 cents an hour, six-hour day, 30-hour week, while employers are remaining firm In their stand that they can not economically meet the scale. On the outcome of negotiation at Longview. Wash., where lumber company officials and representatives of sawmill and timber workers un ions were in conference, hinges the question of the general strike. Long view is one of the important "key" polnta in the tense situation, and union officials have said that what ever action is decided there, will be recommended to lumber unions affiliated with the United Brother hood of Carpentera and Joinera un ion elsewhere in ftre Pacific coast states. Officials of both groups have con sistently refused to divulge what progress has been made, except to say the situation looks "optimistic." . Arbitration meetings also were scheduled at Aberdeen and Hn quiam. The question of aympathy walk outs by longshoremen will be de cided definitely at a meeting in Portland, Dewey Bennett. Seattle sec retary of the International long shoremen's association, said todT Lumber operators feared longshore men might decide against working any lumber cargoes if the lumber workers walk out. The Northwest Brewing company obtained an Injunction restraining Interference with its truck drivers and business by strikers. Yesterday Silver Vitro, strikers' picket, was shot in his right knee by a guard in a strike riot. Vitro Is a member of the Teamsters' ic Auto Truck Drivers' union. Two Seattle garment companies still were picketed after peace confer ence failed when the companies re fused to discharge employes who had refused to join the strike. T GAINS MODERATE SAN FRANCISCO.
