WASHINGTON. June 28. When the Blue Eagle blew up. the business field traa supposed to be blasted with price cuts and strewn with unemploy ment and wage cuts. If you sur vey the effects In the govern ; ment'a own reg ular business fig ure you will find very little evi dence that there has been ah ex plosion. The price av erage of o o n farm - food prod MALLON ucts for the week before the supreme court decision (May 25) was 77.8. The average for the last available week (June 15) was 77.9, virtually unchanged. Both employment and payrolls have decreased possibly 3 per cent, but this seems to be due at least partly to eaaonal slack. Industrial production Is unchanged: freight loadings and department store sales have shown abnormal sea sonal Improvement. The price figure?, however, are not conclusive. They are collected by the bureau of labor statistics from list prices. It la quite likely that some private price cutting has been done behind these Hat prices. This Is a common business custom. Furthermore, the employment and payroll ftgurea cover only factories, and do not Include the service trades, hotels, restaurants, very small fac tories, where the wage efects of the decision are supposed to have been most heavily felt. Nevertheless, the conclusion la Jus tified that nothing sufficiently im portant to show up in the govern j ment business chart has happened lnce the court edict. The broad picture may.be survey ed In the following monthly chart. Each figure represents the percent age of normality exi.sting at the times mentioned, as each is adjusted for seasonal variations. All except prices re based on 1923-25 as 100 per cent. JPrleea are baaed on 1926.

FORCES FIGHTING IS Administration Leaders in House Battle for Bill's Retention of Provisions Desired by President WASHINGTON. June 38 (API President Roosevelt today severely condemned what he termed the lobby charged with fighting the utility holding company legislation and called for house approval of the sen ate bill containing a provision for abolishing "unnecessary" holding com- I pantes In seven years. I This came while administration leaders In the house were seeking to retain In the bill the provision de sired by the president. The senate approved mandatory abolition by a one-man vote margin the house Interstate commerce com mittee voted to give the securities commission the discretionary power. Talking at his regular press con ference, the president said the most powerful and daring lobby ever cre ated by any organization was fighting the holding company bill. The president said he was stronger now for the legislation than ever. Noting talk about the so-called "death sentence" clause, he said the trouble with that argument was that the timing was wrong. Emphasi74ng that he was referring to large utility companies spread over wide territories, he said the stock holders In these were and are under death sentences and that this bill Is actually an emancipation procla mation for them. He said the legislation la going to give the stockholders a chance to live instead of going to the death house where, he added, they are headed. He asserted their dollars must be saved. In tha large spread eagle holding companies he said there were a lot of parasitic Intermediate companies taking away the money and the divi dends. By a simple process under the sen ate bill, he contended this could be eliminated and there would be more dividends and equities to the regular operating companies and their stock holders. Also, he said the bill will restore to separate localities some rights to control thlr own utilities, and would take away the power, political and otherwise, exerted on state legisla tures and congress. He said he did not believe very many people were being deceived by the arguments against the legisla tion.

L WASHINGTON, June 38 (AP) The American Federation of Labor today proposed to President Roosevelt a federal licensing of industry to main tain principles of the former NRA. The president reserved any ' deci sion whether to seek new and per manent NRA legislation at this ses sion. Under the A. F. of L. plan, the Government, through licensing power, would require business In Interstate commerce to abolish child labor, maintain minimum wages and maxi mum hours of work and respect "fair trade practices." The substitute for the dead NRA code structure was presented by Wil liam Green, president of the federa tion, and George Berry, assistant ad ministrator of NRA. "We expressed the belief," said Green later, "that the needs of the countrv require new NRA legislation at this session If In the range of possibility." The labor loaders said Mr. Roose' velt took the proposal under advise ment. together with several other suggestions before him.

The mutiny Itself lasted only about 12 hours and. despite artillery and machine gunfire, only one person, a Chinese civilian, was reported killed. but the excitement was Intense.
