to the people his fight for a law

boards investigate labor disputes.
An administration . source,
who asked not to be identified.
said a speech on labor is under
consideration by the president
and it is quite possible that he
may make it m tne near luture.

as very much concerned over the
failure of congress to complete
action before Christmas on his
fact-finding proposal. The sen
ate labor committee yesterday
recessea its Hearing on tne legis

This delay and the reluctance
or congress to grant Mr. rru
man's reauest for the so-called
"full employment" law, as well
as broader unemployment com
pensation legislation, were re
ported to have been the subject
of considerable White House dis
cussion. Mac Arthur Ends
