Mr. Graham declared he wanted to support the measure, but insisted Jt had to be changed or he could not stand for it. Republicans, he added,

should accept suggestions from their

own side, if they wanted it passed. Check Not Complete.

While the house was resuming con

sideration of the bill, Chairman Lask

er, of the -shipping board, conferred

with Senator Curtis, of Kansas, Repub

lican whip, regarding probable senate

action on the measure. He was In

formed that canvasses of senators

were not complete enough to give an

accurate line on the situation. Repub

lican leaders were said to feel, however, that obstruction would prevent a

senate vote before the sixty-seventh

congrss adjourned sine die, March 1. Opponents of the legislation assert

ed administration leaders would have

to marshal their full strength Wed

nesday to avoid defeat The rule per

mitting unlimited amendment under which the measure is to be consid

IRON HOT; STRIKE FOR THIRD PARTY, " URGES LAFOLLETTE

(By Associated Press) PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 27. Robert LaFollette, United States senator from Wisconsin, told him in a long distance telephone conversation from Washington that the people had spoken twice to the majority parties and if they had to speak again it would be to welcome a third party, George W. P. Hutt, governor-elect of Arizona, said here last night He may send a representative to the meeting of Progressive leaders called by Mr. LaFollette for Dec. 2, but will not attend, Mr. Hunt said.

jjaFoiiette said he would just as

soon see both old parties scrapped, according to - Mr. Hunt, pointing out that radical or progressive candidates In eight states had been victorious ia the recent elections through close combination of organized farmers and union workers, and that an analysis of the returns would show Mr. Hunt's

election by such a combination. Mr. Hunt said this was the reason for inviting him tothe conference.

Says iron is Hot The Iron is hot, it is time to strike,"

was one of Senator LaFollette's ex

pressions, Mr. Hunt declared. "The psychology of the dissatisfied masses, dissatisfied because they are not getting living wages, because they are

not getting sufficient return for their

crops to. pay taxes and buy groceries,

is at the back of this political upheav

ed!' Hunt asserted the Wisconsin senator told him over the telephone.

Mr. Hunt will confer with Demo

cratic leaders here today before de

ciding what he will do with regard to

attending the conference. "I feel confident that Senator La

Follette has the best interests of the

people at heart in his efforts to es

tablish this bloc," Mr. Hunt said, "but I cannot get away from my ideas that

the place to make this fight for the

people is in the Democratic party."

Mr. Hunt said Senator LaFollette

outlined in detail the plans being for

mulated for a governing bloc in both

the senate and house.
