NEW YORK—^’—Presi-
dent Roosevelt intervened
Saturday in the deadlocked
bituminous coal contract ne-
gotiations, calling upon min-
ers and operators to reach a
workable agreement prompt-
ly to end the industry’s worst
shutdown in 17 years.
He told them that their “differ-
ences in viewpoint" did not appear
to be insurmountable, and said
I ‘ the orderly process of collective
bargaining should suffice to bring 1
about their adjustment ”
Telegram Sent
"Because of this.” the president
said in a telegram to Dr. John R
Steelman, head of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor conciliation
service. “I urge that the present
negotiations with the federal com-
missioner continue, and that all sit
down with the intention to reach
a fair, honorable and workable
agreement in a spirit of give and t
take. Time <s now important and
agreement must be reached prompt- j
iy"
While it was sent to Dr Steelman,
an observer at the negotiations
since April 25. the message was di-
rected to the joint labor-and-man- I
country dub. with prizes tn be
awarded the Lions turning in the
best 18-hnle scores Sunday for the
course
The Lions were also issued tickets
to the Capitol Theatre.
Among the early arrivals here
Saturday night was Vincent C.
Hascall of Omaha. Neb. interna-
tional gr presen tat ive. He was
president of the Lions Interna-
tional in 1934-1935. and has been
prominent in the Lions organization
for many years.
Hascall To Speak

speaker at the governors ball and
banquet tn be held Tuesday at

When Saturday s negotiations ses-

BACKERS PLAN PUSH THIS WEEK
AUSTIN—— Outwardly more confident than ever before, backers of the sen-
ate sales-natural resource tax constitutional amendment made ready over the week
end for a big push in the house next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Although Tuesday will be the 120th day of the legislative session, after which
members’ pay drops from $10 to $5 daily, the consensus was that it would last
until May 20 or 27. The constitution suggests the lawmakers go home at the end of
four months but in five sessions they never have done so.
Approaching test will be the fourth in the house on a constitutional amendment
.——--^.‘o ]evy a two percent tax on re- i
tail sales, gas. light and phone bills
1 and boost natural resource imposts
2o per cent The proposal mustered
86 votes Thursday, seven more than
on either of the previous ballotmgs
I but still considerably short of the
needed 100
Some foes nf the measure, which
has the blessing of Governor W Le«
O'Daniel, admitted they faced the
possible loss of a few votes They
said certain members might f
switch because of concern lest the
governor veto legislation in which
; they are greatly interested Their
' ranks also may be thinned, they
agreed, by the contention the
amendment is the only old age
pension financing legislation with a
j chance of passage
These foes, however, were by no
means willing to concede defeat
The lawmakers were not even
near the finish of work on the six
major appropriations bills The con-
troversial departmental bill was yet
to be passed by the house, and the
senate had more floor work left
1 or. the rural school aid and voca-
tional education proposals. Confer-
ence committee reports were not
ready on any of the measures.
The senate voted Fricav to allot
$25 428.165 for suoport of the state s
colleges during the 1939-41 bien-
nium This was $9 573.540 more than
j f » total contained in the house
bill and approximately $9.000.nno in
excess of the appropriation for the
current biennium. The senate fig-
ure was expected to be drastically
slashed by a conference committee
Unconfirmed rumors circulated
that an effort might be made to
legalize horse race betting under
local option through a rider to the
departmental bill. Many members
voiced the opinion, however, this
would not be attempted When rac-
ing returned to Texas in 1933. it
| came in as a departmental bill rid-
er.
