V2 a time when the whole distributive system is being studied with a view to cutting its cost-and thereby widening it, this is an interesting sidelight.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 To understand the reason for much of the grief the New Deal has run into in Congress this summer sum-mer it is necessary to know something about the strategic spot which the House Rules Com- mittee occupies, In some ways, this committee is one ofvthe-most important institutions in-stitutions on Capitol Hill. Under ordinary circumstances, and with a few important exceptions, the rules committee can decide whether a bill may come up for a vote. In effect, it can shape the legislative policy of the House by deciding the subjects which the House may act. on This is so because the House Is an unwieldy body which annually an-nually faces more legislative material ma-terial thari it can possibly handle. When a bill is introduced, it is referreito committee, which may hold hearings on it and .sub-: mit a recommendation for its passage or defeat. But with cer- tain exceptions principally appropriation ap-propriation and money-raising bills this does not, of itself, bring, the bill to the floor. That is "ELtothe rules committee. It can confer privileged status on a bill set the time for debate on it, and otherwise arrange the mechanics me-chanics of bringing the bill., be- , fore the House. v In Grasp f Cox And Smith So, as a general thing, a bill gets before the House for discus ion and voting only if the rules committee says so. wmcn means, of course; that it is all-important for any administration to have a firm grip on the rules com mittee. .

And- certain key New Deal policies, poli-cies, particularly those relating to labor, are anathema to these two congressmen All of which comes to a head in the current fight over amendments amend-ments to the wage-hour law. The House- Labor Committee, headed by Congresswoman Mary Norton of New Jersey, drew up a set of amendments which more or less embodied 'administration wishes. As a matter ot f act they went somewhat farther . than I Wage-Hour Administrator An drews liked, but in the main they were the administration program. They did not go far enough for the conservative group, however? and Congressman Barden of NorthCarolina brought in a set of -amendments which -were much 1 troader. In due ; time, both - the Barden and - Norton bills got before be-fore the rules committee.

But it hasn't worked that way. The Norton bill got stymied. Mrs. Norton made two attempts to brlrifpher bill out under a' suspension sus-pension of the rules a cumbersome cumber-some procedure requiring a two-thirds two-thirds vote and failed. The rules committee meanwhile mean-while .prepared to bring out the Barden bill. The row over this brought from Cpx-a threat that if the Barden bill didn't Come cuiino other legislation-would be brought before Congress during the rest of the session. He said this in the heat of argument, and later withdrew it; but the fact that the threat could be made testifies to the committee's power, pow-er, i - A similar story was "told- a ilittle earlier when the rules com mittee put Smith's till for a prpbetrthe IiabJroattlSjef ore the House.
