Congress passes revised Guffey bill and housing aid
The House approved the revised Guffey bill restoring federal control of soft coal, with a 161 to 90 vote, and sent it to the Senate. It retains a tax on coal and price fixing authority while dropping hours and wages provisions. The chamber also backed a 2.36 billion relief measure and blocked Florida ship canal funding and an anti lobbyist bill. The Wagner housing bill, creating a federal housing authority, cleared the Senate 42 to 24. Senator Fletcher of Florida died, prompting tributes from President Roosevelt. Nearby notes report debtor nations default risk and debates on Britain Italy and Canada laws.
