C. I. 0. ATTACKS NLRB FOR MOVE T0 COMPROMISE
Lewis Faction Believes Industrial Unionism Is Endangered.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 11.—Before Washington had recovered from the

surprise of John L. Lewis’ attack!
on his friends, President Roosevelt and Secretary Perkins, in the coal dispute, the C. I. O. unexpectedly attacked the formerly praised Labor Board and Senate Labor Committee for seeking a compromise on Wagner law amendments. In both cases the craft-union issue—which caused the original A. F. of L+C. I. O. split and which wrecked the recent union peace negotiations—explains the C. I. O. attack. The C. 1. O. thinks it is fighting for its life of industrial unionism. On the surface at least the A. F of L. appears to have succeeded in isolating the C. I. O, but the A. FP of L. rejoicing probably will prove premature.
Outsiders Surprised
If the A, F. of L, through the terms of a bituminous settlement or through Labor Board decisions, is able to capture the soft-coal industry from the United Mine Workers industrial union, the C. I. O. loses its backbone and pocketbook. And if the Labor Board and Senate Committee in the current A. F. of L. negotiations accept the A. F. of L. pro-craft amendment to the Wagner law, the C. I. O. probably wiil be on the way out. This, at any rate, is the theory The incident which caused the latest C. I. O. expiosion seemed slight to outsiders not realizing the TNT loading the union controversy. Chief Counsel Joseph A. Padway of the A, F. of L, after days of testifying on the Senate stand, suggested to Chief Counsel Charies Fahy of the Labor Board that getting together around the table might be more effective than shooting at each other from the witness stand. It was taken up with other Board and A. F. of L. officials who agreed. and was then put up to Chairman Thomas and other Senate Committee members who gave it their hlessing. Whereupon Chief Counsel Lee Pressman of the C, I. O. issued two bitter statements against the] informal negotiations as an unfair effort to shut out the C. I. O. hefore it had its day on the stand to expose the A. F. of L. When Chairman Elbert D. Thomas (D. Utah) said the C. I. O. should be included in the negotiations, the A F. of L. objected to meeting with the C. I. O. and the Board agreed to meet with the two factions separately. A. F. of L. Aim Double

Farm Bloc Wins, Cotton Group Splitson Crop Bill
WASRINGTON, May 11 (U. P).—Senate leaders pressed today for an early vote on a record $1,218,621.572 Agricultural Appropriation Bill, which includes an unbudgeted 338 million dollars for farm subsidies. Without a record vote, the Senate) "

day, boosting the measure by ap-|
proximately $400,000,000 over the figure approved by the House, The farm bloc obtained approval of the amendments over the protest of President Roosevelt, who charged that Congressional leaders had broken a promise to him to levy new taxes to finance farm expenditures. “We all have to make our records.” one Senate Democratic leader said. The Senate refused to suspend its rules to consider a proposal by Senator John H. Bankhead (D. Ala.) for a cotton export subsidy. Senator Bankhead's amendment, which split the cotton bloc, would authorize the Agriculture Secretary to dispose of new cotton on the world market at competitive prices.
House Changes Mind On Flood Fund
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U, P) —A rowdy House fight over economy indicated today an impending drive “tie down” Federal relief funds
{ for relief purposes only after July 1
The tricky part of the situation is that the A. F. of L., because! of a split within its own ranks, has two different objectives—one a basic change in the law which it helped to write, and the other to change the Board, which it charges is pro0.10 The C. I. O. now having what it wants in the law and she Board, is set to lose in any “compromise,” while the A. F. of L. gains if either change is accepted.
EXPERT POINTS OUT SHOPPERS’ PUZZLES
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U.P) —Dr. Ruth W. Ayres, New York Consumers expert told the national
monopoly inquiry today that deceptive can sizes and lack of
quality grading make the house-
wife's marketing problem a head-
ache. Dr. Avres said that “until we have standards in sizes and grades in quality, we never will be able to do a good job as housewives.” She stacked on a table before the committee 21 different containers of
tomato juice which might be pur-|
chased in Washington stores. She said they held 11 different brands in 17 different sized cans. “There is no way to determine the quality, even within the same brand, except to try all the various brands and containers.” Dr. Avres said price of the tomato juice ranged between 3'; cents per ounce to 7's cents per ounce. She said the situation was so confusing that a housewife had littie hope of buying intelligently. She complained that she went to several stores yesterday and asked for a quarter pound of tea of a particular brand. She was given, the witness said, a package containing 315 ounces
MORGENTHAU MAKES NEW TAX AID PLEA
WASHINGTON, May 11 (U. P) — Treasury Secretary Moraenthau reiterated today that if there are anv deterrents to business in the tax structure he would like to see them removed. Secretary Morgenthau
said that
The economy bloc, led by Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Val),
fought yesterday to cut 50 million dollars in unbudgeted funds for flood control and river and harbor improvements from a bill appropriating $305.188,514 for civil activities of the War Department in 1940. The bill includes spending of about $5.000.000 000 in Indianapolis. Advocates of the increase, seeking an explanation for their plan to ex-
said the President had assured them he would allocate $50,000,000 of 1940 relief funds to flood control work
he would stand on his statement of |
several months ago when he asserted he would examine the tax laws to determine if there are any hindrances to recovery and expressed the hope that Congress would do something about any that were found.

rivers and harbors ments. They proposed, in effect, to collect on their part of the bargain by appropriating the money now and deducting it later from the relief bill. That idea appealed to the House, and it was adopted, but only after a hectic day in which the $50,000,000 first was struck out and then put back in the bill. Hoosier Republicans Kept their economy records straight by voting | against the 50-million-dollar boost. Democrats supporting the increase were Reps. Crowe, Larrabee and Schulte for an additional 25 million dollars for rivers and harbors and with Rep. Boehne joining them in seeking 25 million dollars additional also for flood control. Rep. Ludlow (D., Ind) voted against any increase, as did all Re-| publicans except Rep, Landis, who was absent. As it stands. the bill calls for expenditure of $113,000,000 in 1940 by the Army engineers for general flood control work; $39,000,000 for Jississippi Valley flood control; $96,000.000 for rivers and harbors. A vote was postponed until Monday.
