House action on new coal bill moves despite FDR objections
Advocates of the Guffey-Vinson Coal Bill press to push the measure through Congress this week despite White House opposition to piecemeal regulation. The bill imposes a 20 percent tax on coal market price with rebates, expands the Bituminous Coal Commission, and seeks code boards to enforce fair prices and collective bargaining. Conference talks with operators and United Mine Workers hover over wage and hour schedules as the industry of 500,000 miners faces potential price stabilization and higher labor standards. Republican Rep. Crowther and others vow a floor fight while the administration favors broader blanket legislation.

Measures Await Action on Labor NRA Reforms by Congress
Washington sources say the Roosevelt administration has nearly completed a set of measures to restore labor provisions of the NRA. Congress may wait on judiciary reorganization before action. Proposals include licensing of interstate corporations, a 30 hour week, abolition of child labor, and stronger FTC powers. The administration backs a fair practices act and U S Chamber support. The CIO backs the Guffey and Ellenbogen bills for a textile NRA substitute. A new motor is the Maloney census based unemployed enumeration plan.
