conferred with the. Prealdent..toat
week and while he refused to
discuss the topic of tbeir talk, it
waa understood that the pair re
viewed the wages-and-hours fight
which Southern conservative
Democrats are leading in the
rules committee.
Other congressmen who have
ta'.ked with the President during
ihe past week said tonight that
tley got the impression that he
is willing to let the measure go
ove,' until Congress meets again
in r.>feular session next January
or earlier if a special sessionj is
called to enact fgrm legislation.
Mr. Roosevelt, however, has per
sistently refused to discuss 'the
wages-and-hours scrap at his
press conferences.
Although House Maorlty Lead
er Sam Rayburn (D), Tex., in
sists that the ieaderahip will not
abandon efforts to get the wages
bill to the floor until “the last
gavel bangs,’’ Speaker William
B. Bankhead (D), Ala., already
has applied a coup de grace to
the measure.
Appears Impossible
“I have no hesitancy In saying
that it now appears to me and
to other House leaders that It
will be Impossible to get the]
wagee-hour hill up at this ses
sion of Congress," he told thel
United Press. Bankhead denied
reports that leaders are plnJi-
ning a parliamentary conp to
wrest the measure from .the!
deadlocked .rules.'ponunlttoc-' *
“No measure of shCk vast-im
portance to the cohntiT' as this
one should be enacted until It

Meantime, QoBgraag' preparad

Bankhead said he planned to
bring up tomorrow the bill to
seal loopholee In thb reventie act
and warned that he would: try to
keep the House In session until
It passed. There la very little op
position to the measure, how
ever, and a late night session Is
