Social Legislation

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. l-A. source close to the White House disclosed today that President Roosevelt had conferred with other United States ‘administration leaders on e. tenta- tive plan for abolishing child lab- or, shortening working hours, and raising "starvation wages."

Although details oi the plan re- mained to be worked out by legal experts, its chief features were:

1. A federal regulatory agency

with broad powers to fix minimum wage and hour stardards for ell firms engaged in interstate com- merce. ' 2. A “re-definition of interstate commerce by Congress, to bring much industrial production, as well as distribution, under federal sup- ervision. ‘

Purely local enterprises would be exempt, but major industries-such as steel, coal, automobiles, and tex- tiles—whlch vitally affect the en- tire United States would be denu- cd as port oi interstate commerce.

“LITTLE wonbn wan"

In the face of continuing com- pllcatlons for the Franco-British Dian to stem the influx of foreign volunteers who have made the Spanish conflict a. "little world WHY." London and Paris went ahead with parallel proposals io bar arms imports fmm the fight- err. New and undisclosed sugges- tions along that line were forward. ed to both the Socialist Govern- ment and the Fascist Insurgent Commander, Generalo Frnncisc Franco.

Berlin observers. meantime. heard reports that Bamn Konstantin Von Neurath, Reich's Foreign Minister, had fold the French and British ambassadors yesterday that it was "too late" to stop volunteer sail- inge.

Diplomatic sources there said one strong reason for Germany's reluc- tance to foresake General Franco was fear lest a. "Communist vic- tor-y" in Spain menace Portugal, with which the Reich has been negotiating in an eflort lo obtain at least part oi African Angola.

In Rome, too, the authoritative writer Vlrglnlo Gayda wrote that I Italy's reply to the finance-British "stop volunteers" plea would take into consideration the belief that Italy cannot permit establishment oi "a Red Republic" oi the Med- iterranean.

There were authoritative indica- tions the German and Italian re- Dlies would be the same. 'I‘hey are not expected before next week.

The International Non Interven- tion Committee meets here next Wednesday, and Britain took some ‘heart from the fact that Italy agreed to the placing of the volun- -teer matter on the priority list on the Glenda.
