Inc WN'l Service. Washington, March 20 - Once upon a. time, "states rights" was the clapion call of a political party. In recent years it has been hushed. Governments of various states may yet' provide the- loophole for tihe New Dealers to escape the stigma which would be tagged to an outright failure of several alphabetical agencies experiments. It is noteworthy that governors and other high officials of many commonwealths are visiting official W&ahiPgtort .Np fanfare of trumpets he^alds theii: arrival ot ^ departure. - ..•v'v Yet it is 'known that conferences have been in progress for some time.

In many commonwealths, tihe proposed state regulations for industry are far more drastic than under the national setup. The multiplicity of adverse court : ' decisions against New Deal Agencies and the hostility in Congress to suggest changes in the statutes to circumvent the courts has driven the officials of the United States government into a decentralization mood. Therefore, the pending legislation in your state legislatures is of the utmost importance to employers and employes alike^and marks a turn from Washington influence over people's lives. President Roosevelt's short winter vacation in Southern waters will probably give Congress time to clear up the stalemate which exists between the legislative jind administrative branches of the government. The many special' messages from the White House, keep the legislators on the jump to the extent that Httle constructive activity is, reported.
