Mr. Bobbitt said he was reviving the “policy-making committee” to act in an advisory capacity to himself and the State G. O. P. Central Committee “because members will be free from factional fights.” He is expected to announce’ the com-

F. of L. and the C. 1.0, and to prevent illegal strikes.
Hindrance to Business
Returning to his seat belatedly, Senator Steiwer said that the labor
of the important factors in hinder ing business and that action should be taken to force unions to accept adjudication of their quarrels. He said that a modified form of the proposed “Little TVA” bill might be feasible but that there should be an end to Governmental “tinkering” with the currency and a relaxation of regulation of utilities, Meanwhile, following President Roosevelt's order for an investigation of monopoly by the Federal Trade Commission, Senator O'Mahoney, (D. Wyo.), said it was “absurd” that our economic system should “go into a tailspin when a few men in the financial circles of New York City get the jitters.” In a radio address last night, O'Mahoney, who split with the Administration last session of the Court Reorganization Bill, diagnosed the current trouble as “economic concentration,” or “too much power . , . in too few hands.” He asked for Federal control of private corporations through a “system of national charters,” so that the purposes of the Sherman Antitrust
