Congress Edges Toward New Deal Soft Coal Bill
Congress moved toward enacting a revised Guffey bill to restore federal control of soft coal, retaining price fixing and excise taxes while dropping hours and wages provisions. The House also advanced a major relief package and opposed the Florida ship canal and an anti-lobby bill. The Senate backed a housing program and a w orb policy. In Topeka, Landon and Knox discussed coding campaigns with a reorganized Republican executive committee. Roosevelt toured the West, spoke at Vincennes, defended AAA subsidies, and pushed for transport reforms as Eastman proposed rail and container system changes.
