Congress adjourns as Coolidge watch Center turns to Cleveland
Congress adjourned lifting a heavy burden on markets while the nation fixed its gaze on Cleveland where Republicans gathered to nominate Calvin Coolidge for President. The McNary Haugen farm relief bill failed in the House and talks over Muscle Shoals were deferred. The Norris report attacked Ford and the Ford bid for Muscle Shoals drew fire from several senators. The Senate passed a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to empower Congress to regulate labor of those under eighteen. President Coolidge signed the tax reduction bill but urged a more economic measure next session. The GOP convention setup named Mondell as permanent chair and Warren to the resolutions committee. The vice presidential question lingered with Lowden viewed favorably by Coolidge. Democrats weighed a dry plank and nominated Walsh as permanent chairman with Harrison as temporary chair.
