Washington, Oct. 31--Not until the returns are compiled on the elections next week will -'the country actually know what to expect from the next congress. No second-Sight is required to definitely forecast v stormy session with plenty of headaches for leaders of all groups. Last-minute reports from all political fronts show a distinct trend toward the "bloc" system consisting of a coalition of conservative Democrats and Republicans as opposed to liberals and radicials recruited from both parties. The action of the American Legion last week demanding immediate payment of the bonus gave impetus to the fusion talk. It is the common fear of disastrous effects of inflation, which inspires the conservative elements to forget party labels and unite in opposition to these organized raids on tho public treasury for the benefit of a class. ' i- The organized veterans have a powerful lobby. It is an easy bet that they will stampede the House to pass a bonus bill with the full knowledge that it will be vetoed by the President. Betting now favors a capture of the Senate by bonus advocates and possibly gainfhg sufficient momentum to pass the measure over the Presidential veto. This situation is driving the conservatives into an alliance which may go far beyond a meeting of the minds on the bonus and embrace other matters threatening the stability of the currency and impairment of public credit. This fusion movement recognized, too, that they may be a minority bolstered by White House support. If the radical elements of the two major parties co-operate the chances are against the President staining control over congress. The compensating feature is the strong probability that finance and industry, which has given only passive or indifferent support to recovery plans of the New Deal would quickly rally to the Roosevelt standards in any controversy with advocates of extreme "liberal" legislation. So many candidates have based their appeal to the voters soley on their promise to "support the President" that they cannot afford to turn a deaf ear to the.. White Hous«. and a receptive mind to a lobby. Political suicides on a wholesale scale are expected to follow in the wake of the bonus agitation. Labors policies of the administration will come to the* ore About No ; vember 3, when the automobile manufacturers code extension expires- The American Federation of Labor defeated in its effort to unionize this industry will make this code a major issue. They want an executive order reducing the number of hours in the work week and above all a change permitting them to control the relations of workers with their, employers. The industry is prepared to drop the code if there is a likelihood that the President is willing to accede'to these demands. The only alternative left with the NRA is to lirfpose a code which is a step notwelcomed at this time when the administration is seeking support of automobile producers and others in a program to restore purchasing power and relieve unemployment. The dopesters say the code will be extended again and without revision of terms. A statement by William Green, A. P. of L. chief, issued October 26, claims that their figures show 10,951,000 persons were out of work in September, an increase in unemployment of 848,000 over the sam? period last year. Government data challenges the accuracy of the Federation's calculations. Miss Frances Robinson will not be particularly pleased wheii she realizes the actual mark her personality left in the Neaw Deal. For fifteen months she rode high, wide and handsome as the power °behfnd the throne at NRA. Instead of an asset, she was probably the greatest liability that General Johnson carried during his control of NRA affairs. Today the General and "Robbie" are just private citizens. However, the word has been passed down the line from the high executives to those occupying minor positions to remember the Robinson mannerisms and govern themselves accordingly in- selecting private secretaries. High officials have taken the hint and are stressing the importance of tact and discre*. * tion in dealing with the public, espe- , cially influential leaders, who call fotu. conferences. "Robbie's" history i3' held up as a bad example of high-hat.--.--r - •£ and domineering tactics, which react to the detriment of their bosses*. . Veiled references are made to the efi». feet that "Robbie" made more enef mies for General Johnson and thf * NRA in their dealings with industrial . and labor leaders than all the official - pronouncements of this Federal " agency.
