GORE SNAGSN.R.A ACTION IN' SENATE| WITH AMENDMENT Proposes President Name $4,000 Officials, Subject to Confirmation. RULE WOULD APPLY TO ALL U. S. AGENCIES | Harrison Urges Oklahoman to ‘Withdraw and Says Personnel Will Be Cut to 1,500. BY J. A. O’'LEARY. “The effort to continue N. R. A. in | skeleton form until next April struck & new snag in the Senate today, when Senator Gore, Democrat. of Oklahoma injected a last-minute amendment | which would require all ~officials | throughout the Government service | receiving $4,000 or more a year to be appointed by the President and con- firmed by the Senate. Chairman Harrison of the Finance Committee, struggling to get the N. R. A. resolution agreed to before the life of the recovery organization expires, Sunday at midnight, appealed to Gore not to press his amendment. The Senate had convened at 11:30 am. with the expectation that the N. R. A. Tesolution could be passed by noon. While the debate was still going on the hour of 12 o'clock was reached and, under a previous agreement, N. R. A. had to be laid aside until the | public utility holding company bill is | voted on, not later than 4 o'clock. After that Harrison planned to call up the N. R. A. bill again. N. R. A. to Keep 1,500, In urging Gore to withdraw, Har- rison told the Senate the personnel of N. R. A. will be cut from 5400 to about 1,500 under the plan to keep only a skeleton organization until next April. | Gore’s amendment, however, applies | to the Government service as a whole, and is an outgrowth of a similar fight that was made in the $4,800,000,000 work-relief bill to havé the higher- peid officials under that law con- firmed by the Senate. Gore charged today that the final conference report on the work-relief bill had the effect of setting aside an old law prohibiting the payment of salaries to appointees while they are awaiting confirmation. He said he doubted whether more than a few | Senators knew that law had been nullified 1n 1ts application to appoint- ments under the work-relief act. Tydings Backs Gore, Coming to the support of Gore's new | amendment, Senator Tydings, Demo- crat, of Maryland, said the .Senate could not justify requiring confirma- | tion by the Senate of postmasters who | get only $2,000 or $3,000 a year and | are under strict regulation, and at | the same time not require confirma- | tion of higher-paid appointees under the work-relief program. With Gore showing no inclination to withdraw his amendment, the out- look for speedy passage of the N. R. A. resolution today did not appear bright. Before this new compiication arose Harrison had explained to the Senate that the N. R. A. resolution is in- tended only to encourage industries to | enter into voluntary agreements cov- ering certain limited subjects and to hold together a small N. R. A, or- ganization to gather statistics on the effect of the wiping out of the com- pulsory codes. House Action Necessary. Even without the Gore amendment the resolution will have to go back to the House after the Senate acts, be- cause Senator Harrison is proposing the additional language agreed upon late yesterday. Harrison explained the resolution does not set aside the anti- trust laws, and that the purpose of business leaders that they will not be going counter to the anti-trust law if they get together to make voluntary agreementis relating to the rights of employes to collective bargaining and to consider minimum wages, maximum hours and prohibition of child labor. The amendment proposed by Sen- ator Gore declares that “hereafter any person who shall receive under this or any other ect of Congress a salary (8ee N. R. A, Page 3.)

SPRINGFIELD, I, June 11.—A declaration in favor of “collective” bargaining for labor and ait‘for the American farmer with greater freedom of action and without regimentation will be adopted today by the Mid- ‘west Republican “Grass Roots” Con- ference, before it winds up its labors. A “creed” and a declaration of | principles both are contained in the final report of the Resolutions Com- mittee, which will be submitted to the | conference for action. Much will be made of the need of preserving the Constitution and pro- tecting the people against bureau- cratic rule. A demand also will be made that business shall be freed from the “palsying hand of Govern- ment and Government competition.” The creed and declaration of prin- ciples, taken in conjunction with the severe indictment of President Roose- velt and his administration, adooted last night by the conference will |sum up the concrete steps taken by | the conference.

In some measure, therefore, it may run along with the policies of the present administration. The effort has been to keep the declaration to a broad statement of principles rather than to have in any sense a platform for the Republican party. However, some of the delegates have insisted upon getting their pet ideas into the declaration, if they can. When it is presented to the con- ference it will contain about 2,500 words, according to reports. Work on Reselution. The paragraphs of the declaration of principles relating to agriculture and labor gave the Resolutions Com- mittee the greatest amount of trouble. A subcommittee worked until the small hours of the morning. Sessions were resumed again at 9 o'clock to- day. The Midwest Republicans today de- clared themselves greatly satisfied with the results of the conference, be- lieving that they have set a pace for the rest of the country. Robert G. Simmons of Nebraska, former Representative and a World War veteran, in a forceful speech to the delegates today, restated the issue as between the Republicans and the Roosevelt administration. He declared that the party should welcome “on a parity with us those who will sub- scribe to our declarations of faith and purpose.” “There are those,” he told the con- ference, “who would have us belleve that the Constitution of the United sumhmandmmo(mput. lemnmuwnm'uflnnl death.
