WAGNER BILL GAINS SUPPORT OF A, F, OF L. Action on Measure Will Be Pressed in Both Houses. BV HERBERT LITTLE Timm Sprrial Writer WASHINGTON. March 2.—Senator Wagner’s bill to equalize bargaining power between employes and employers, outlaw company unions and set up a permanent national labor board, will be pressed at once in both houses of congress, with active support of the American Federation of Labor. Chairman William P. Connery of the house labor committee introduced the bill amended in minor particulars last night. He plans to seek action by his committee next week immediately after the expected favorable report on the Connery thirty-hour work week bill. Chairman David T. Walsh of the senate education and labor committee announced hearings will be called, probably within ten days. He is understood to favor the bill’s purpose and his committee has a majority favorable to such a measure. Green Approves Measure President William Green of the American Federation of Labor promptly approved the measure. He said: “Senator Wagner has done a great public service in introducing this legislation. The American Federation of Labor will actively support it. In fact we were consulted in its drafting." Labor Secretary Frances Perkins probably wall be called before both committees. Her department is understood to favor the measure. Senator Wagner will confer next week with President Roosevelt, who is said to be sympathetic with the bill’s aims. Meanwhile, the outstanding example of the need for such legislation. the Weirton Steel case, was before the justice department for action, with prosecution for violation of the recovery act indicated. Workers Grow Restless A previous citation against President E. T. Weir of the National Steel Corporation did not result in prosecution, but this time it follows unsuccessful attempts by President Roosevelt and others to obtain compliance with the recovery act's collective bargaining guarantee. The growing unrest among workers because of employers’ refusal to deal with their unions flared out meanwhile in strikes in many industrial sections. One strike is directed against the Mellon-dominat-ed Aluminum Company of America's plant at Nrw r Kensington. Pa., and an American Federation of Labor union called on workers of other aluminum company plants to join. Other strikes were in automobile plants, laundries and cleaning and dyeing plants—mast of them illustrative of the myriad of com- j plaints made by workers to NRA against lo\r wages, chiseling under codes, and refusal by employers to deal with independent unions.

CONSER AVENUE BUILDING MAY STARTMONDAY Park Board Unable to Free Cemetery of Future Assessments. Construction of Conser avenue from Thirty-eighth to Fortyfourth street to give a south entrance to the Butler university campus will start Monday if Crown Hill cemetery officials concur on the park board's proposal. The park board yesterday decided to construct a permanent boulevard but has instructed cemetery officials that it could not bind future boards from relieving the cemetery of assessments on the thoroughfare. In a previous communication to the park board the Crown Hill officers agreed to waive a $4,500 claim for a strip of ground through the cemetery if the board would insure the cemetery property it would not be assessed for a right-of-way w’ithin the next few years. The park board legally is unable to enter into an agreement of this kind, the board attorney advised the group. A. C. Sallee, park superintendent, | reported that CWA officials are j holding up approval on the pro- | posal to build Fall Creek buolevard j from Keystone avenue to Millersville with CWA labor. The park department has obtained a right-of-way, but can not complete the project w'ithout government labor, he said.
