A resolution for the joint session sped through the house of represent- atives Monday. Plans were to have both branches hear the president's message at 12:30 p. m., EST., Wed- nesday. Steiwer held up action on the res- olution to authorize the joint session for almost an hour with a speech de- nouncing it as unconstitutional and merely a “stage meeting.” He said the idea was “contrary to the spirit of our form of government” in that it would give the chief execu- \tive’s veto greater influence than it Senator Tydings.(Dem., Md.,) then launched into & long discussion of foreign trade when Long refused to permit an immediote vote on the reso- lution for a joint session. Senator Robinson, Democratic leader who called up the resolution, contended there was no limitation in the constitution against joint sessions whenever the two houses chose to have them. Senator Robinson (Dem. Ark.), said Monday he would like to see some bonus legislation “worked out and passed” after the Patman bill had been killed and added that he would be glad to “contribute” to- ward that end. “But I don’t know whetrer it ts Possible or not,’ he said. Whether Robinson, an udirinistra- tion leader, had in mind some com- promise that would not call for pay- ment in full immediately was not dis- closed. But the White House was described in ‘riumed quarters as opposed to any plan for such full payment.

Sub-Committee to Report A sub-committee of “five,” appoint- ed to sound out political sentiment in the state, was expected to make a report to the delegates Tuesday. Members of the sub-committee are Miklethun, Ole Knudson, Thompson; Al Sundfor, Fargo, and Mrs. D. F. Seed of Minot. The fifth member, State Representative Harvey Sol- berg of Williams county, refused to serve, saying he had not been ap- proached before his name was placed on_the committee. ‘The move to refer the sales tax was expected to figure strongly in the re- call meeting with some of the “re- callers” feeling that the possibility of two special elections should be avoided.

OPTIMISM IS NOTED AT ANNUAL SESSION OF SLOPE STOCKMEN Improved Outlook Found En- couraging by 400 Delegates to Dickinson Conclave Dickinson, N. D., May 21.—(?)—En- couraged by a generally improved outlook in the cattle business, ap- proximately 400 delegates attended the opening business session of the ‘Western North Dakota stockmen’s as- sociation Tuesday. ‘The meeting was marked by opti- mism as a result of recent heavy rains. Speaking at the annual banquet Monday night, Gov. Walter Welford of North Dakota paid tribute to western cattle growers and predicted that out of foundation herds of the Missouri Slope, the drouth-depleted cattle business in North Dakota would be rebuilt. Governor Welford also made his first. public attack on the proposed referendum of the state sales tax and called on the 300 listeners to defeat the referendum movement. He said an affirmative vote on the measure would be equivalent to serving notice on the federal government that North Dakota can handle its own relief problems. “That,” the chief executive said, “is i ‘an utter impossibility.” he|"" Finds Bedlands ‘Wonderlands’ Referring to the North Dakota Bedlands, Gov.

The wages will range from a ie eats & month to a high of $94, lepending on the type of labor the locality. ta = “I am very much afraid,” Green said, “that great social unrest will re- sult from these widely varying rates. There is certain to be discontent and T would not be surprised if it led even to widespread strikes among relief workers.” McCarran Among Critics Earlier Senator McCarran (Dem., Nev.), had directed hotly-worded criticism at the schedule. Administration officials denied the new rates, which represent a slash as compared with PWA scales, would “wreck” the pay structure. Although issuing no immediate formal state- ment over their signatures, they con- tended the schedule is higher than it may seem at first glance because those affected will work for 12 con- secutive months. Because of long layoffs in the private construction in- dustry, they argued, the work relief wages will compare favorably with the private figures when yearly to- tals are considered. In addition to criticising the zoning method of wage-fixing Green said the limit of one worker to a family wes an unjust restriction, Pian 40-Hour 5-Day Week In general, the plans call for & 40+ hour five-day week and Mr. Rooses velt said the monthly would be “in the nature of a salary,” with pay continuing when work is halted by inclement weather. Workers, howe ever, will be docked for absences, either voluntary or because of illness, Under the wage schedule, the coune try is divided into four regions, with monthly earnings varying within each according to density of population. ‘There also are four classifications of labor—unskilled, intermediate, skilled and professional-technical, Region 1, comprising the New Eng- land, Middle Atlantic, Lake, Mountain and Pacific states, will have these minimum and maximum monthly sal- aries: unskilled $40 to $55; interme- diate #45 to $65; skilled $55 to $85; professional and technical $61 to $94.
