Congress Faces Problems as Bills Prepared
Washington March 26 The stalled Wagner labor bill to outlaw company unions drew strong opposition as Congress debated the Roosevelt automobile settlement. House and Senate handled other measures including airmail and cattle commodity bills while wage talks between labor and management stalled, risking Mediation Board referral. The Commodity Credit Corporation reported large loans to rotting producers and corn farmers, with cotton loans averaging $250 per bale and corn loans about $689 per bushel. A congressional probe into claims by William A. Wirt over a Roosevelt brain trust plot loomed amid talk of unemployment insurance timelines.

Sea water found rich in gold by chemists claim

The Atlantic brine contains an inch of bromine per cubic mile and only a hundredth of an inch of gold per cubic mile, varying by sea.

Wagner National Labor Board bill attacked as invalid and unsound
James A. Emery, general counsel for the National Association of Manufacturers, told the Senate labor committee in Washington on March 26 that the Wagner National Labor Board bill is invalid in law and unsound in principle. He argued the measure would force one form of labor organization, outlaw cooperation, and hinder new collective relationship models, creating a labor relations monopoly and increasing conflict.
