Bailey Leads Opposition on Copeland-Tugwell Bill
In the Senate the opposition to the Copeland-Tugwell bill was led by Democrat Josiah W. Bailey of North Carolina who urged retaining the present food and drug law with necessary amendments. He argued Agriculture should foster farming not govern advertising and warned the department has overreached in new fields. Tanley Reed obtained court permission to dismiss the Belcher lumber code appeal, delaying any ruling on the national industrial recovery act until after Congress acts on extending the act.
