demanded by various members the seventy third congress closed its second session the measures passed during tills session include some of tile the basic laws of the new deal and considerable elaboration and modification of laws passed last year in addition to the regular appropriation bills and a normal amount of necessary routine legislation As in the first session president roosevelt was in full control though the legislators displayed a more critical attitude and a tendency to give proposed legislation closer scrutiny before giving it their approval this could not be attributed to a lessening of the presidents influence or of the confidence in him but rather to the fact that the members of congress wish longer to be labeled as yes men on the whole sir mr dense roosevelt succeeded in getting what he be asked and in preventing what he did not want several measures that had the backing of the administration failed of passage these included the oil bill ardently desired by secretary ickes the pure food and drug bill which never came to a vote the ratification of the st lawrence waterway treaty and a series of amendments amplifying and clarifying the powers of the AAA

where president roosevelt administrator johnson and all others had failed lie ile MM appeared before the delegates of the steel workers un unions I 1 0 n a a at t pittsburgh and persuaded them at least to pos postpone apone their threatened strike the plan which he offered and which may lead to a permanent settlement of the controversy t la in brief provides earl J forbeck establishment of a throe chrep man board by the predent to adjudicate arid and mediate all violations of code on matters of discrimination against employees jo to insure the right of workers to organize empowering the board to hold bold and supervise industrial elections for collective bargaining representatives all grievances or complaints would be referred to the board tor for final decision it if acceptable to labor capital and the federal government me strike would be called off permanently leaders of the rank and file steel wor workers kerso including earl J forbeck and other chiefs of local unions were especially bitter in their attitude toward general johnson and were still eager for a strike but they were outnumbered and ane green plan was adopted as a basis for or further negotiations ns the union leaders went to washington for a final decision they carried authority to call the strike it if the peace plan were rejected by the government or the steel operators y A formal letter accompanied d by IN a long explanation the code authority of the cleaners and dyers has notified the president that it lias has withdrawn its consent to the code the reason assign 21 for this action Is that administrate johnson acting by all authority of tile president suspended the minimum price and other fair trade practice provisions of the code while sibile leaving in effect all other oilier provisions including g those establishing minimum wages and maximum hours of labor the cleaners and dyers say that with operating costs greatly increased by the labor provisions it Is impossible to make a profit unless a minimum price Is established and enforced 1 in it its s appended explanation the alio code authority challenged the validity of this action by general johnson continuing we cannot believe that you would knowingly countenance a reckless disregard of repeated promises and assurances given to authorized representatives of the trade by the administrator personally within two weeks of tile the late date on aich which lie played a major role roe in n their breach the code was consented to says the memorandum on the express understanding that the minimum price and other trade practice provisions were absolutely necessary it if members of the trade were to comply with other provisions of the code including the limitations on maximum hours and minimum wages of labor the suspension of tile the minimum price provision Is pronounced a deprivation of the primary benefit of 0 the code to members of the trade leaving them only the burdens the memorandum states that 07 per cent of the plant owners and to 1 retail shops are able and willing to comply with the price and other trade practice provisions it if there Is reasonable co opera uon tion on the part of the government in enforcing compliance on the other 3 per cent there Is virtually complete compliance in of the districts in ID conclusion the memorandum takes this wallop at administrator johnson Jo linson we are equally confident however that confidence in a program no matter how meritorious cannot long be maintained when its administration Is In trusted to an agent who makes so little of the elementary requirements of good falth faith and who Is oblivious to the hardship and suffering his conduct Is causing to thousands of loyal and law abiding citizens of this country OF WAR DERN and S
