Washington, Aug. I—The first
.cession of the 76th Congress
draws to its close with no patch
ing up of the rift in the Demo
cratic party.
Because of this rift, the Presi
dent has lost major engagements
in the struggle between himself
and the Legislative branch.
Perhaps the most important
act of Congress, in the last fort
night of the session, was the
passage of a bill introduced by
Senator Carl A. Hatch of New
Mexico to prevent federal work
ers, including WPA workers and
others on relief, to take part in
party politics. After it had been
amended on the floor of the
House and the Senate had con
curred in its amendments and
sent the bill to the White House
for the President's signature, it
made it illegal for any official or
employee of the Government to
take any part whatever in party
politics, under penalty of a sl,-
000 fine. Only the President, the
Vice-President, Senators, Mem
bers of Congress, and officials
whose positions make them re
sponsible for formulating na
tional and international policies
—otherwise, the Cabinet—are ex
empt from the operation of this
new law.
The net effect, if the Hatch
Act is enforced, will be to keep
all Federal office-holders from
taking part in next spring's pri
maries to choose delegates to the
Presidential nominating conven
tions of either party, or from be
ing delegates themselves to any
party convention. That is calcu
lated to destroy the ancient sys
tem whereby Presidents in office
are renominated by conventions
largely composed of office-hold
ers.
Eighty-three Democrats joined
the solid Republican block in the
House to carry the Hatch bill by
a vote of 242 to 133.
Passed 242 to 133
After the final passage of the
Hatch bill by the Senate, forty or
fifty Southern Democratic Sen
ators crowded to the Vice-Presi
dent's rostrum to congratulate
him and Senator Hatch, the au
thor of the bill. Vice-President
Garner beamed his appreciation;
for the new law gives him a
greatly improved chance of get
ting delegates elected who will
stand for him for the Presidential
nomination.
The Garner Presidential boom
is now fairly launched.
The second major piece of leg
islation in the closing weeks of
the session was the adoption by
the House of a resolution pro-

posed by Representative Cox of t
Georgia, for the appointment of i
a special Congressional commit-:
tee to sit during the recess and
investigate the administration of
the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
Here, again, 104 Democrats,
mostly from the South, voted
with the Republicans to carry the
resolution by a vote of 254 to 134.
The ground for this investiga
tion is the charge, frequently
made not only by employers but
by the American Federation of j
Labor, that the Labor Relations'
Board has refused employers aj
hearing in labor disputes, and
has discriminated against the A.!
F. of L. and other labor unions
in favor of the C. I. O.
Simultaneously with this ac
tion by the House, the Senate
passed the Logan bill providing
for the judicial review by the
courts of all administrative rules,
decisions and orders made by
any branch or instrumentality of
the Executive arm of Govern
ment. This is aimed not only at
the Labor Relations Board but at
all other agencies.
Conference Fails
The most severe blow to the
President's aims was the failure
of his conference with Senatorial
leaders of both parties in a last
desperate effort to win support
for the changes in the Neutrality
laws which Secretary Hull form
ulated and the President urged
on Congrpss.
The Senatorial leaders of botn
parties, the chairmen and rank
ing minority members of the
Foreign Affairs committee and
the Vice-President himself, sat
with the President and the Secre
tary of State for three hours
while Mr. Roosevelt told them,
and Mr. Hull confirmed, the re
ports from American Ambassa
dors in Europe about the danger
in the international situation.
The Senatorial conferees were
adamant in their refusal to ac
cept the President's point of view.
Senator Borah went so far as to
say that he could not accept the
Administration's statements of
the gravity of the situation, for
he had contrary information
from sources he considered equal
ly trustworthy.
The Vice-President asked each
Senator present whether there
was any chance of getting the
Neutrality act amended, and all
gave a unanimous negative an
swer.
Upset by Outcome
There is little doubt that the
President was upset by the out
come of that conference, which
closed with his declaration that
he would see to it that the coun
try understood that the responsi
bility rested on Congress.
One result of the President's
failure to obtain the changes he
asked in the Neutrality Act is a
change in his plans for his trip
to the West after adjournment
Originally he had intended to gc
to Alaska and make a speaking
tour of the Northwest on his waj
back. Now it is understood thai
he will go only as far as the San
Francisco World's Fair and re
turn East immediately, to be or
hand to call Congress into special
session if the expected Europear
war breaks out before the sum
mer is over.
