- 8 Indiana Congressmen Sign Discharge Petition On Wage and Hour Bill
Rep. Farley Is Latest to Attach Signature to Plea to
Get Action; Pettengill
Urges Measure Be Re-
written After NRA Officials Give Advise.
Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2—Rep. J. I. Farley is the latest member of |
the Indiana Congressional delegation to sign the discharge petition on Eight of the 12 members now have signed.
the Wages and Hours Bill.
Those not signing are Reps. Halleck, Pettengill, Boehne and Crowe. |
Declaring that $25,000,000 worth of experience under the National Industrial Recovery Act has been | ignored in drafting the bill, Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill urged that it be returned to the House Labor Committee for rewriting. Urges Johnson Advice
His statement follows: “According to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury just is-
sued, NRA and its continuing agen- | cies, from June 16, 1933, to date]

“These conclusions of Dr. Roos
ought not to be disregarded. For | the reasons given the bill should |
be recommitted to the Committee on Labor for further study. Otherwise we shut our eyes to all the facts developed in the expenditure of over twenty-four million dollars.” Rep. Boehne explained that he | never signs discharge petitions and Rep. Crowe took the same stand, although he has signed Rep. Ludlow’s to bring action on his proposed war referendum amendment. “I do not favor the discharge petition method generally,” Mr. Crowe said. Proponents of the wages and hour bill argue that holding it in | the Rules Committee, after it had

“For some reason which seems strange to me this experience as well as the advice of the different administrators of NRA has not been made use of in the consideration of the pending bill. “Before we spend another 24 million dollars in trying to enforce somewhat similar legislation, it seems to me the course of common sense to call in Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Donald Richberg, Clay Wil-
Committee, is unprecedented.
PREDICTS RECORD LEGION ENROLLMENT
American Legion officials predicted today that the 1938 membership will touch a new all-time high. Daniel J. Doherty, national commander, said that the advance membership had reached an estimated
liams, L.eon Henderson, and Senator Berry, all of whom at different | times acted as administrator of | NRA. Certainly there are no better | sources of information on this question in the country.
Would Call Economist
“Another man who should be consulted is Dr. Charles F. Roos, former Director of Research for NRA, and a ranking economist on | industrial prcblems. In his capacity | as Director of Research, Dr. Roos | prepared an exhaustive report upon | the effect of NRA on American in- | dustry. This report, I understand, | never has been published. The ma- | terial, however, is available and Dr. | Roos should be called before the | Labor Committee, as he offered to | do last spring in a letter to Senator Black, chairman of the Joint Com- | mittee which held hearings on this | measure.
“Dr. Roos is a Democrat and in sympathy, as I am, with the humanitarian aims sought to be se- | cured by the pending bill. In the | light of his experience with NRA, | it is his view, however, that the | pending bill, if passed in its pres- | ent form, will add half a million to | the army of unemployed during the | first year of its operation; that it | will result in a decrease in indus- | trial production; that it will produce | a lower consumption of raw materials, including farm products, and hence lower prices for them, and on

He said the record advance enrollment had been made in spite of | the * ‘current business recession” and | that the advance figure, largest in | history, is more than half of the
[1937 figure, and indicates the 1938 |
figure may surpass the all-time high | of 1,053,000 set in 1931.
