Instead the federation will pledge

and will consider establishment of
"a legal defense bureau" at Wash
inCton to carry on labor's fight.
Members of the executive council
state tonight that the plan for a
general strike probably would be
rejected. They intimated Presi-
dent Gompers was of the same
opinion but that he decided to pro-
pose the matter out of Difference to
labor unions all over the country

to do so.
The labor leaders were unani-
nous in predicting victory for the
shopmen and declared eagerness to
back the strikers to the limit of
financial ability. This may be done.

sessments on organized labor.
A legal defense bureau" was
being hailed today as a forward
step in organization against liti-
cation detrimental ~ labor The
plan contemplates calling together
lawyers favorable to labor and
placing their services at the dis

New Navy Racing
Plane Copies Birds
Landing Gear Drawn Up Into
Fuselage While in
Flight.

The Navy will enter an entirely
new type of plane in the Detroit
aviation races in October. one in
which a lesson from birds has been
Incorporated to gain greater speed.
TIE landing gear will be drawn
into the fuselage once the plane Is
in the air so that only the wings
and fuselage will present resistance
to the wind. The smaller birds, it
is known, draw up their feet into
their breast feathers when in the
air. while larger species, such as
the ducks and geese, tuck their feet
under tail feathers rather than drag
them through the air and retard
speed.
Furthermore, the Navy BR-the
name of the new plane-completely
snppresses the radiator by cover
ing the entire wing with a thin
sheet of copper under which water
for cooling the engine circulates.

Special Cable to TIE New YoRK HERALD.
Copyright, 1929. by THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Paris, March l2. !
Notwithstanding constant rebuffs, such
as the refusal of the United States TO
annul French war debts or to attend the
Genoa conference or to relinquish even
temporarily her claim for a share in the
first billion gold marks paid by Ger
many, the French Bourse manages to
keep UP it's traditional optimism. AL
though business in all lines is decreasing
week by week, leaders are pointing out
that the situation is not so serious here
as in other countries that factories are
running here almost as fully as in 1919,
and that with the raw material on hand
for q big boom, when 1t does come
France viii be enabled to lead the world
in production. Coupled with this the
fact that France since the war is losing
her hold on the wooden stocking more
every year is evident because not sin
gle financial flotation, whether purely
monetary or industrial. has failed in the
last year for any lack of subscribers
During January of this year more
than 241 900, 900 francs worth of shares
talization were subscribed here. in adj
dition to more than 500,000,000 francs
worth of bonds, the average interest on
the latter being 2-3 per cent. The
same remarkable confidence in Frances
ultimate, even early, recovery was mani
tested throughout the last year by
French laborers and farmers, who al
though not diminishing their saving de-
posits cut down their expenditures to
such an extent that they were enabled
10 subscribe 2,333, 100000 francs worth
of industrial and commercial shares. and
nearly 11,000,000,000 francs worth OF
bonds, thus supporting the Finance Min
istry's contention that the nations in
vestment power, whether for new indus
tries or the rehabilitation OF the devas-
tated regions, may be taken as some
where between ten and twelve billions
The only interest shown In the Bourse
this week was in Turkish and Russian
financial quotations. Both these showed
slight Improvement, the first because OF
the approaching settlement of the Sevres
treaty problem, with the representatives
of the Constantinople and the Angora
Governments already comforting in Paris
and London and likely to hold meeting
in common at any time; the second be-
cause of the apparent intention of
French industrialists and financiers to
give certain support to consortium for
bringing back Russia as a peaceable
world market, and a reopened outlet for
French production and influence.
Interest in the Russian consortium
clearly is due to the wise choice of M.
Schneider, the steel manufacturer. as the
French expert to work upon its forma-
tion. Realizing that Russia will need
metal for the restoration of her rail-
ways, it is expected here that NJ
Schneider himself will be a substantial
competitor with German and British
firms and the United States and that
there will be no lack of smaller indus
trials trailing along in the hope of shar-
ing in the eventual big profits.
