"Should America Join the World Court?” will be answered by Dr. Haroid C. Calhoun, recent doctorate In law at the University of Paris. Rabbi Edgar Magnin of the Wilshire B’nai B'rith temple will speak on "The Benediction of Peace.”

Labor Leaders Face Struggle
Green Scores Big Business As President Opposes 30-Hour Week
WASHINOTON, May 18—<t’.R)— Organized labor today bore down on congress to save Its 30-hour-a-weck legislation from the adjournment squeeze.
Efforts were doubled as a white house conference confirmed that the president not only opposes the bill, but has cut the unemployment insurance and Wagner labor board measures off his "must” list for this session.
Labor leaders concentrated on forcing a house vote on the 30-hour week. Delegates made an of-ficc-to-office canvass at the capitol. Unions throughout thc country telegraphed congressmen to sign a petition for a vote. The petition lacked 92 names and tomorrow is tlie last day for signing "Unless action ls taken soon, the record will show that congress failed labor," said President Wil 11am Green of the American Federation of Labor.
"Labor will study the record made and will interpret the fill ure of congress to pass thc Wagner disputes act and other meas ures sponsored by labor as a surrender on the part of congress to the enemies of labor and to the representatives of big business and vested interests.”
Congress, Green charged, is yielding to the “determination of employing corporations and manufacturers to control and dominate the economic life of the worker*.

Agreement Is Made In Silver Bloc Argument
Roosevelt, Senate Reach Compromise Following Long Conference
WASHINGTON, May 1«.—<U.R>— President Roosevelt compromised today with the senate silver bloc and promised to pursure "virgor-ousl.v" a new program which will revise the nation's monetary policy.
The agreement was reached after a long white house conference among the sllverltes, President Roosevelt, Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau and other fiscal authorities.
Thc president will send a message to congress within a day or two on new silver legislation which the white house described as both premissive and mandatory.
Provisions of Bill
The forthcoming legislation will contain these provisions:
1.	A declaration of policy that the government recognizes sliver as primary money and that the nation's metallic reserves shall be 25 per cent sliver and 75 per cent gold. This is mandatory.
2.	The secretary of the treasury ls authorized and directed to purchase silver until lt reaches *1.29 an ounce or until its metallic reserve strength reaches 25 per cent. This is both permissive and mandatory.
Presidential Authority
S. The president ls authorized to nationalize silver through condemnation. This U ponnissiv*.
The measure will contain a provision aimed at silver speculators. If the president orders purchases of domestic silver, an Inquiry wlll be made to determine what prices the prospective selltfl' paid for the metal. The difference between this price and the amount ta be paid by the government wlll be regarded as profit and will be subjected to a 50 per cent tax.
Newly mined domestic silver will not be affected by the new legislation. President Roosevelt recently fixed the price of this metal at 64'i cents an ounce.
