WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (UP)
The American Federation of Labor
prepared a broad program of labor
legislation today to sponsor in the
forthcoming session of congress.
The program was outlined at a
meeting of representatives of 102
AFL unions together with officials of
jthe "big four" railroad brotherhoods
and announced by AFL President
Green.
3reen also predicted that the sen
ate would fail to confirm the nom
ination of Donald Wakefield Smith
for another term as a member of the
national labor relations board. Re
vealing that he had written letters
to all members of the senate for their
position on Smith's nomination,
Green said:
"I have received replies from vir
tually all of the senators. I feel, on
the basis of the replies, that senti
ment against Smith is very strong.
in fact preponderant. I believe we
can defeat him."
The AFL's legislative program in
cludes:
1. Revision of the national labor
relations act.
2. New legislation to aid the rail
roads "Whatever recommendations
the president's program committee
brings out."
3. Revision of the Social Security
act to extend its benefits as recom
mended this week by the Social Se
curity advisory council.
4. Amendment of the fair labor
standards act to clarify definitions of
learners, beginners and apprentices.
5. Continuation "of federal relief
on the present scale.
6. Safeguards for labor in national
defense legislation.
Green said federation attorneys are
"in the last stages" of drafting
amendment to the national labor re
lations act and that they will be
presented to congress "with full AFL
backing."
The amendments, he said, will con
tain two major provisions:'
1. To take away from the board
its present power to determine
whether a labor unit will operate as
a craft, plant or industrial unit. It
would provide for operation of the
act in a manner similar to the rail
way labor act.
2. Curtailment of the power of the
board to void existing contracts be
tween unions and employers.
"Our purpose," he said, "is to
guard and protect the fundamental
provisions of the act. We stand now
as we have always stood for the
preservation of the act. Our com
plaint is against the maladministra
tion of the act."

Secretary of Commerce Roper, in his
farewell press conference today fore
cast continuance of a gradual up
ward trend in business during 1939.
Roper's resignation becomes effec
tive at midnight Friday.
"There are several elements of
strength in the outlook for 1939 that
create a much more hopeful frame of
mind than existed at this time last
year," he said.
"The increase in the purchasing
power of the population in recent
months has given a new impetus to
the value of domestic trade and is
reflected in increased demand for dur
able a well as consumers non-durable
goods."
Terminating more than 27 years
service with the federal government
Roper said:
"I leave public service with grati
tude to all and malice toward none.
A number of people have had the
thought that I ran this department
politically. I don't know what has
led to this conception. I have no
recollection of ever bringing political
pressure for political appointments in
this department. My only interest
was to develop the department in
the interests of foreign and domestic
commerce."
We have found that friendship in business counts for much and
we are grateful for yours. Let us wish you a very Merry Christmas
and may the joy of the holidays go with you the whole year through.

PLYMOUTH. Eng., Dec. 21 (UP)
Anthony Eden returned to England
from the United States today and
said he had learned much of the Am

visit. Arriving aboard the Queen
Mary Eden told interviewers that
contrary to popular British belief
the American people are greatly in
terested in world affairs, European
events in particular.
"The principal American news
papers give much space to events in
Europe," he said, "and the editorials
in their best newspapers are both
shrewd and realistic in their Judg
ment. He praised the "remarkable
service rendered readers of American
newspapers particularly about Eu
ropean and far eastern affairs.
To a host of Loyal
Friends and Patrons
we extend our sincere
wish for a Joyous Hol
