Th 1 -bill was rewritten by the House Com wittee. and during .consideration 03 the Floor .o f the House the Mund amendment, sponsored by sportsmen’* organizations, WaS included in the bill whichnow goes back to the Senate fo> consideration.o f House amendments Pronounced as the most forward step ever taken to end pollution of th' streams and rivers of'the" nation, the bill provides for Federal cooperatiot with states and their, political sub­ divisions, and with private industries, through the extension o f financial aid In correcting present conditions. While word has gone about Capitol Hill that -President Roosevelt has ad vised- Congressional leaders that h wants Congress-to complete the pro sent session by May 15th, without tin consideration o f any new controversy, legislation, it is a pretty safe wage, that Mr. Roosevelt will not have hi* way* on either matter. Political wise acres feel certain that the actual ad joumment o f Congress will come mue; nearer June 15th than the Presidential request date; That-Congress will give consideration to- drastic amendment; and changes m the fNational Labor Relations Board Law, in spite of the Administration’s endeavor to smother such action, now seems certain. A special House committee^investigating the N.L.R.B. will submit recommenda­ tions and legislation for House con­ sideration Within the next two or thret wecKb. Congressman Cox of Georgia, leads? of a large bloc of independent southern Coagseasmen, and member o f the powerful Rules Committee, has aimomced that if the leaders attempt to block consideration of the legisla­ tion hs will bring the measure to the Floor by petition, and that he already has th* plsdge o f a sufficient number of signatures to force consideration of the Labor Act changes. The*same kind of direct action may result in connection with the Logan* Walter* Bill designed to give citizens the right of appeal to the courts from - the ruling* or decisions o f the various bureaus, division* and departments of government now attempting to super­ vise and control almost every phase of American life, Some time ago the Rules Committee voted out the Pleas­ ure fee consideration, without fixing -a definite timufor the bill to come be­ fore th* House. Recently, if is report­ ed, Rub* Chairman Adolph Sabbnth informed tuapirera that he -had his "Linttaction*?* not to permit tha i ill to come to U vote.
