G. 0. P. PARLEY DRAWS NEAR; LABOR EXPECTING GENEROUS TREATMENT BY DEMOCRATS

Shorter Week, Minimum Pay Planks Are Sought by Union Chief. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. April 21. A Democratic platform plank embodying pledges for a shorter work-week, minimum wages, abolition of child labor, and the “fair trade practice” provisions recently upheld by the Supreme Court in the Sugar Institute case, was predicted by Democratic labor men today. The party’s convention at Philadelphia in June will go perhaps even further than the 1932 labor plank, it was predicted, partly because of the recent strong labor sentiment for Roosevelt, led by John L. Lewis, and partly because of the President’s revived program to reduce unemployment, as outlined at Baltimore last week. The 1932 promise of efforts toward a shorter work-week was carried out to a considerable extent by NRA, but since the Supreme Court spoke last May, average hours a week in industry have increased by three to nearly 42. The Supreme Court’s imminent ruling on the Guffey Coal Act, now expected Monday, and its impending decision on the New York minimum wage law, probably will have a vital effect on this convention and campaign issue. Fear for Guffey Act New Dealers are fearful that the Guffey Act decision will chop down the Federal government’s asserted power to act nationally on hours and wages. A decision against the minimumwage law would similarly prune the power of the states. A similar law was voided, 5-3, by the court in 1923, and the four conservative justices now on the high bench all voted in the majority then. A possible combination of state and Federal action to shorten hours and provide work for some of the nation's 10 million or more unemployed may be resorted to by the Democrats, since the Supreme Court has upheld tin an Oregon case in 1918) the limitation of hours of labor by the state. Child Labor Verdict Recalled In carrying out the President’s renewed demand to save the available jobs for those over 18 the liberal minority of the Supreme Court is his only support. The Court in a 5-4 decision in 1918 kicked out a Federal law forbidding child labor, and only a change in the complexion of the court is likely to improve the chances of any such law. The President’s top-limit of 65 years for jobs is carried out in effect now by the practices of many employers, and the old-age insurance feature of the Social Security Act wh-'n nnerative will make the process cosier.

Republican Congressmen May Miss National Convention. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 21. —With just seven weeks left before the Republican National Convention, Republican congressmen are not at all certain they will be able to attend. It has taken Congress thtee \nd a half months to enact loui major bills, and the chances of enactu 7 two more in the next seven weeks seem slim. The Administration will insist on tax and relief legislation before adjournment. In the last 10 presidential election years, Congress has remained in session through the conventions three times. Each time. Democrats were in control of one or both houses. Four Major Bills Enacted In 1912, the session lasted until late in August; in 1916, until September. In 1932, Congress adjourned in mid-July. Sessions continued while the conventions were meeting but during the Democratic convention, particularly, it was difficult to get a quorum and little business was transacted. It was a relief bill that prolonged the session that year, too. Congress meets a month later now. incidentally, as a result of the lame duck amendment to the Constitution. The four major bills enacted so far are the bonus act, repeal of the cotton, tobacco and potato control acts, extension of the neutrality resolution, and the soil conservation act. Bills on rural electrification and lobby registration are in conference. Three appropriation bills have been ■'nacted and four others are ip conference. Other Measures Pending Ten other measures of considerable importance are in various stages of progress and may or may not be acted on before adjournment. On® is the ship subsidy bill, and another would extend the office of transportation co-ordinator. Flood control and housing measures are pending, and so are bills creating a
