DUFFY (Associated Press Staff Wiriter) " WASHINGTON —(#)— Quicken ing political activity tended this week to clarify the outloak for 1936 somewhat. Many more “ifs” need to be removed, however, before the battleground is plain. Two certainties stood out Satur day night. The major party mana gers, despite current efforts to consolidate “liberals” and sporadic talk about break-up of the tradi tional lines, count on doing busi | ness under the old labels as usual.

As they reached that determi nation, both house and senate were foregoing their usual Satur day recess to speed other “must” measures on the President’s pro gram. The senate worked its way ‘through a batch of minor amend ments to the social security bill; the house was rushing through miscellaneous measures to make room for the nuisance tax exten sion and AAA amendment meas ure Monday.

The complaint amounted to an ultimatum for Linder to cease his “political” assaults on the Agricul~ tural Adjustment Administration or the Bulletin would lose second class mailing privileges. ‘ Application of the higher first class rates would halt circulation of approximately 125,000 copies going weekly into Georgia farm homes, since state appropriations are insufficient to pay them. What advice Linder might have obtained from the attorney gen eral, M. J. Yeomans, was not divulged. The commissioner contends the postoffice department has an “ar bitrary” right to tighten the lines on his publication but that “legal ly it's none of the federal governy ment's business.” Yeomans' decis ion will likely be announced this week, . ; WS % OVR T A.

The threat of a recovery dis rupting soft coal strike, originally set for tonight at midnight, was removed when Appalachian pro ducers agreed with the United Mine Workers to contizue present wages, hours and working condi~- tions through June 30. : Executive crders to preserve the recovery administration’s shell were forecast for today. James L. ' D'Neill, vice-president of _ the Guaranty Trust company of. New York, was reported to have been selected» to head the new organ ization. The Chamber of Commerce, in its Washington Review, issued ‘after a directors meeting, assailed practically the whole administra tion recovery policy. The business lorganization stressed particularly its opposition to the Wagner labor ‘disputes bill and the eccnomic security program. ¢ : Agree to Scale The coal producers represented at the joint conference with the miners agreed unanimously to continue their present wage and hour contracts, and to reassemble June 24 to negotiate new agree ments to replace those expiring June 30. This action was requested by Mr. Roosevelt Friday to give cons gress time to aet on the Guffey coal stabilization bill before the bituminous situation was furthes confused by a strike. Several southern producing dis- . tricts were not represented at Saturday’s conference, but John L. Lewis, prseident of the!mine union, expressed confidence they would “go along.” Most of the operators in these southern dis. tricts oppose the Guffey bill to create a “little NRA” for the sof§ coal industry.
