U. S. POLICY ON SHIPS
ENDORSED BY UNIONS

Chairman Lasker. of the Shipping
Board, today announced receipt of
letter of Endorsement of the Gov.
ernment's merchant marine program
from the Baltimore Council, Build.
ing, Trades Department. American
Federation Of Labor.
The Endorsement, which was unani-
nous, was conveyed to Chalrma n
Lasker in a letter from John b..
Thomas, secretary Of the council.
Lasker's statement said:
This action on the part of a
prominent labor organization is
another instance of the realization
by American labor that an American
merchant marine. built in American
yards and manned by American Of
ficers and seamen, provides employ.
ment for those not only engaged in
operating vessels, but also insures
the presence of trt ! sportation IA
cilities which guard the workers in
other lines against industrial de-
moral!zation because of uncertainty
in the distribution Of American pro.
duction."

IN DEFEAT Of
GOV. HARDW|CK
Clifford M. Walker Wins Demo-
cratic Nomination in Georgia
Hands Down.
BY international News Service.

ANITA, Ca, Sept. a..
Avenging his defeat Of two years
ago, Clifford M. Walker swept the
State in his race for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor in
Wednesdays primary. decisiveiy
defeating Governor Thomas w.
Hardwick, seeking renomination.
by one of the largest majo-itfes
ever rolled up. according to practi.
cally complete returns from all
over the State this morning.
With only five counties missing.
returns tabulated this morning
show that Walker carried every
Congressional district in the State,
rolling up a plurality that will give
him 294 unit votes from ia coun-
ties, while Hardwick's column
shows only forty-one counties with
l06 unit votes to his credit.
Walkers nomination in Georgia's
Democratic primary Is equivalent
to election at the general election
in November. The new governor
will assume office next June.
Returns this morning indicate
that j. j. Brown has been renomi-
mated for commissioner of agricul-
ture, and Commissioner James A.
Perry and w. r. Mcdonald seem
winners for State railroad commits
sioners.
In the Fifth Congressional dis
trict, where Congressman Upshaw
was opposed by James L. Key,
mayor Of Atlanta. for Congress, Ie-
turns SO far tabulated indicate the
denomination Of Upshaw by a safe
plurality.
Hardwick's recent stand against
the Ku KJux Klan, when he de-
nounced the masked regalia Of the
order and demanded that 1t un-
mask. is believed to have played
part in his downfall. although this
is not admitted. While neither
Walker or his friends admitted sup
port OF the Klan. II is believed that
Klansmen lined up against Hard.
wick and supported Walker almost
solidly.
Another element believed to have
played an important part in the
election was the refusal OF Senator
Tom Watson, a Hardwick ally Of
two years ago. to support the gov
ernor this year, and his favorable
attitude toward Walker.

CONFERENCE|S IS
ARRANGED To
ADJUST TARIFF
Senate and House Committees
Seek to Iron Out Diff
ferences on Dyes.
by International News Service.

An immediate conference between
the Senate and House tariff makers
was arranged today by Congressman
Fordney (Rep) Of Michigan to seek
an adjustment of the new differences
that have arisen on the chemical
dyes embargo and the duty Of $50
ton on potash.
The House rejected by a decisive
vote the embargo and the potash tax
through a combination Of anthem.
barge and farmer votes. The action
was unexpected. 1t is the opinion
of House members that the Senate
conferees will recede both from the
placing the latter on the free list. and
yield to the House that the tariff
legislation may be completed.
The fight in the conference will
have to he made against Senator
Smooth Rep) Of Utah. who favored
the dye provision and insisted upon
the tax on potash.
In compliance with the demands
of the farmers, the House had carried
potash on the free list because of its
extensive use in the manufacture CT
fertilizers. The Senate Finance Com
mittee placed the tax on potash at
the instance of Senator Smoot, who
would be satisfied with no other
course.
The House has taken its stand
with instructions to its conferecs.
and unless the Senate recedes there
is the possibility Of permanent
deadlock over the tariff. The House
vote was 1T to 100 on the motion
to recommit. While only 307 of the
435 members voted. 1t is not believed
by leaders that complete attend
ance Of the House would have
lessened materially the majority
vote on recommitting the bill to
conference to make the changes de-
sired.
Senate tariff leaders will have
time today to consider the situation
while the House is busy acting on
the soldier bonus bill. No compl-
cations are expected by the leaders
in connection with this bill. 1t was
brought into the House today by the
House conferees in practically the
exact form in which 1t passed the
House some months ago with an
overwhelming majority. The House
membership is still heartily in favor
Of the soldier bonus and will vote
for the bonus bill as presented.
