there was a hint of criticism in it. They referred particularly to that portion which said: “We should all resolve to encourage the President in every effort he shall make to restore confidence and normal business conditions, and to support Congress in the position that its legislative program should be directed towards national recovery for employer and ployee alike, rather than towards the enactment of legislation based’ upon untried social and economic theories.” t Citing the President’s references in his recent fireside chat to overproduction, the businessmen suggested that this problem would be “substantially alleviated if the Government engages in continuous consultation with business leaders and encourages them to take the initiative to develop and stabilize their respective industries.”

Roosevelt Signs ‘Biggest’ Navy Bill WASHINGTON, April 27 (U. P). —President Roosevelt today signed the largest Navy Department appropriation in peacetime history of the United States, providing $546,866,494 for U. S. feets in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The regular appropriation bill was signed while the Senate worked slowly on the bill to authorize a 20 per cent expansion of America’s y fighting feets at an eventual cost of L ,000,000. \ orts of the Administration to win quick action on the huge authorization measure were blocked as Senator Holt (D. W. Va), checked an attempt to limit Senate debate on the measure. Senator Nye (R. N. D.), leader of the opposition to the naval program, had agreed to the limitation when Senator Holt objected to the unanimous consent request of Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.). The leadership sought to limit debate in hope of a final vote tomorrow. The Senate has debated the measure since April 18. The Authorization Bill, however, is distinct from the measure signed

today which provides $546,866,494 to |

supply Navy Department needs ior the coming fiscal year. The current appropriation carries funds to lay the keels of two 70 million dollar battleships and 20 other fighting and auxiliary naval vessels. The amount was $20,323,186 great-

Wage-Hour Bill Stifling Predicted

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 27—Both wings of labor are ready today to blacklist House Rules Committee members in this year’s primary and election campaigns to the committeemen—as is now generally @ expected—prevent a House vote on the new wage-hour bill. President Roosevelt is co-operat-ing with Chairman John J. O’Connor (D. N. Y.) of the Committee, a supporter of the bill. Postmaster General Farley is also known to be plugging for its consideration. Thus the obstructionists have little prospect of Administration help at the polls. Poot the Committee's 14 members, five Southern Democrats and at least three Republicans are now said to oppose. permitting a House vote on the hill. The Cosmmittee will start two days of open hearings tomorrow. : The Democrats reported against

whose Texas district many oil workers are reported to favor the measure. The others are Reps. E. E. Cox (Ga.), William J. Driver (Ark.), Howard W. Smith (Va.) and J. Bayard Clark (N. C.). The Committee's four Republican members are Joseph = W. Martin Jr. (Mass.), who is understood to favor the bill, and Carl E. Mapes (Mich.), J. Will Taylor (Tenn.), and Donald H. McLean (N. JJ). Seek Republican Support President William Green of the A. F. of L. is sending his general counsel, Joseph A. Padway of Milwaukee, to urge the bill upon the Committee. When the A. F. of L. executive . council, now in session, chooses its political favorites in the primaries it will give much weight to the candidates’ attitude on this bill. The C. I. Os Labor Nonpartisan League is planning similar action. Speaker Bankhead has abandoned hope of obtaining enough Commiitee votes from his own party to get the bill out, and is trying to put the baby in the lap of the of the Republican committeemen. : The Republicans face a bad split

in their own ranks either way. If they vote to pigeonhole the bill, New England employers as well as labor unions, bitter over low-wage Southern competition, will be offended. If they send the bill :to the floor some of the party leaders will be angry becausc their issue of “New Deal regimentation” will be compromised. House passage is virtually assured if the bill gets out.

Triple Attack on Monopoly Due

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 27.—Now comes another A istration barrage against the depression, as it is known outside Washington, in the form of a full-powered attack on monopoly and sticky prices. The purpose of this attack is both economic and political. First, it is intended to bring pressure to reduce the cost of living and to obtain more real competition in the whole field of prices. Second, it is designed to project dramatically into this year’s election campaign the monopoly question, which is always, and especially in hard times, a sure-fire issue. Accordingly, within the next few days; these deveiopments are expected in Washington: 1. Message from President Roosevelt to Congress on monopoly and the antitrust laws, probably on Friday. 2. Statement of the Department of Justice’s new antitrust enforcement policy. That will be made in a carefully prepared and okayed address by Thurman Arnold, new Assistant Attorney General in charge

of antitrust prosecution, to be deliv-|

ered in New York Thursday night. Two Reports Due

3. Publication of two significant reports made at the request of President Roosevelt by the Federal Trade Commission. One report will concern prices of agricultural implements and is expected to show, by deailed examination of one large industry, how prices are held at a high level without regard to supply

This activity is breaking almost simultaneously with the annual meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce here ' next Week and it would not be too wild a guess to assume that Mr. Roosevelt, with his c ry eye for strategy, is getting ready to this notable convocation. of New Dealers on the defensive if he possibly can. He declined an vitation to address the Chamber.

Of course Mr. Roosevelt act is stalking bigger game. Throughout his Administration, businessmen have complained of Government interference with the laws of supply and demand. They have insisted that everything would be all right if Mr. Roosevelt would only pull the zipper on his rabbit bag and give natural forces a chance. This forthcoming material will seek to demonstrate that business itself doesn’t allow natural competitive forces to have free play, and that at many points in the economic life
