Leaders Resist Tax Riders and Farm Bills Battle
Reported Senate discussions reveal resistance to tax riders tied to a $2.009 billion bonus and a $3.06 billion Frazier-Lemke farm refinancing plan. Democratic leaders aim to set the bonus as a special order in January while debating policy shifts. Treasury testimony cites an imbalanced tax structure inherited from Roosevelt era, urging reversal. A London pigeon report closes the digest with a nose for quirky detail.

Labor Raps Italy and Seeks FDR Aid for Ethiopian War
The AFL executive council in Atlantic City directed William Green to appeal to President Roosevelt to prevent Italy's aggression in Ethiopia. The council urged no justification for war of aggression and planned to push the White House effort upon Green’s return to Washington. It also handled a dispute between Amalgamated Clothing Workers and Journeymen Tailors over union representation and announced a Label Trades drive to push union-made goods starting Labor Day. The council adopted a resolution opposing beer cans for unfair labor conditions.
