SOLON'S CONFIDENT OF
NO EXTRA SESSION"
LABOR, FARMERS WANT
SPEEDY LEGISLATION
ADMINISTRATION HEADS
FEAR RUNAWAY SESSION
DYNAMITE SEEN IN OUFFEY
ATTACK AND KKK ISSUE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. There will
be no extra session of congress.. That
statement Is being mado privately
but emphatically by the men who
claim to know what they don't vant
and how not to get it.
So far nobody has dared come out
and admit It officially and a number
of senators are offering highly vocal
lip -service to need of a gathering of
the law-makers right now. But most
of these same men have their fingers
crossed. On the surface, there are at
least two powerful force working for
the extra session: organized labor,
both wings, and the farmer.
Nobody denies that the wages and
hours bill had and haa still enough
vote to pass It and that It was aim
ply blocked by a parliamentary trick.
The farm program Is crying for ac
tion and time la the essence of that
contract, since seed-time and harvest
wait for no man.
But the aub-aurface currents are
such that administration leaders be
lieve that, If congress met, there
would, be & storm violent enough to
wreck the stoutest new dealer pro
grams. With the campaign of 1938
already under way, the administra
tion has enough to do handling the
ship without having to man the
pumps.
The two sore soots are these:
First, although every effort has
been made to "localize" the epidemic
of vengeance stirred up with the
famous Guffey attack on the anti
court bill senators, the resentment is
known to have spread. Congressional
temperatures indicate that. If con
gress got together, there would be
another dog-fight.
The second and more recent trou
ble spot Is, of course, the Klan.
Now that this Issue has been In
jected Into the political situation, any
congressional debate, It la feared,
would soon turn Into a bitter re
vival meeting where all the emotions
engendering class hatred would be
whipped to a dangerous pitch.
So those who hold the reins In
their hands aren't going to permit a
runaway If they can help it. That Is
why they are saying, "no extra ses
sion." And they aren't saying It with
flowers, either.
Of all the widely heralded events
celebrating the one hundred fiftieth
anniversary of the constitution, one
which was perhaps the most dramatic
of all occurred to a newspaper man.
