By the Associated Press. | Quick presidential approval of the Guffey bituminous coal stabilization | bill, finally passed by Congress after weeks of prodding and dispute, was | predicted today by mine union lead- | ers. The Senate and House lost little | time in whipping the measure through | yesterday, once an agreement between | the two chambers had been reached in conference. It went to the White House and—to certain court tests. | Coal mine operators who opposed | the bill, have indicated they would fight the legislation through the | courts to the Supreme Court on their contention that it is unconstitutional. The President requested enactment | of the bill despite any ‘“reasonable” | congressional doubts of its constitu- tionality. Creates Commission, The bill would set up a “little N. R. A.” within the soft coal industry, creating a National Coal Commission to draft codes containing wage, hour, fair practice and price-fixing stand- ards. Operators who comply with the codes would receive a rebate of 90 per cent of a 15 per cent tax levied | < on the value of their coal production. | A three-man board would be set up to | handle labor disputes. | ‘The House, the last to act, ap-| proved the conference report 186 to 150, the 36.vote margin being 10 more than that by which the bill passed originally. | | e L & LOTHROP BROTHER ALBERT, Appointed president of St. Mary's College, at Moraga, Calif, last Spring, is the youngest college head in the United States, Christian Brothers discovered while prepar- ing a surprise birthday anniversary party for the young scholar.

Carey Declares Party Has “Come Out of the Brush.” The President has succeeded four times since April 1 in getting United | Mine Workers officials to postpone a threatened strike call until Congress had time to enact the Guffey bill. The union men are expected to Tesume negotiations for higher wages and shorter hours as soon as Mr. Roose- velt signs the measure.

This is disputed by Henry Warrum, counsel for the United Mine Workers, who helped draft the bill. ‘ FOREIGN TRADE UP, REVERSING TREND VU. S. Imports and Exports In- crease in July, Usually Marked | by Seasonal Declines. By the Associated Press. An increase in both United States exports and imports from June to July, usually a period of decline, was reported by the Commeirce Depart- ment today. Exports gained 2 per cent where they usually deciine 1, while imports were up 13 per cent, against a usual drop of 3 per cent. Both exports and imports were larger than in July of last year, but the large import increase resulted in an unfavorable balance of trade for this July. | The export increase was largely accounted for by machinery and‘ vehicles, tobacco. wood and paper xnd‘ chemical products. Notable import | gains were made in vegetable food | products and beverages, especially | sugar and crude rubber. | Exports amounted to $173,371,000 | in July this year, compared with | $170,184,000 in June and $161,672,000 in July, 1934. July imports amounted to $177.698,000, against $156,756,000 in June, this year, and $127,229,000 in July, 1934, | U. S.-NAZI BREAK URGED New York Aldermanic President | Flays Hitler Policies.

They were Edward Shattuck of Los Angeles and Dolly Madison of New Jersey, vice chairman of the national league and a lineal descendant of President Madison. “The Republicans have come out of the brush,” said Senator Robert Carey of Wyoming, plainly pleased at the enthusiasm of the meeting. Other elder Republicans, including Representative Hamilton Fish, jr., of New York, who speaks at the closing session today, likewise were impressed. Groups Organized. Permanent organizations were | formed for several of the States repre- | sented at yesterday's meeting, and an attempt was made to work out a unified plan of action for the West. There were round-table discussions of platform possibilities.

And this Store plays an important part in sending children schoolward. Many a mother who comes to us now, came here as a child for her first school outfit. No finer part can anyone play than to have helped children towards school—and so this advertisement, to tell all parents we are a part of this. This Storeismore than just a store—it is part of the lives and hopes of people.
