Mineral Bill Debated by House Vote Today
Washington AP A minerals subsidy bill split lawmakers along regional lines and dominated 70 minutes of House debate before a Thursday vote. Republicans like John R. Pillion argued the measure would cost about half a billion and not aid more than 5,000 unemployed miners, while Idaho Democrat Gracie Prost cited 22,000 district jobs. Critics called it a gravy train, pointing to 11,000 unemployed in the metals mining sector and broader industry disparities. Supporters included William A. Dawson who noted steel workers unions backing the bill and John J. Rhodes framing it as national defense rather than relief.
