HONDURAS FEARS
.DIAz DECREE AS
U. S. MANEUvER
Nicaragua Threat May
Mean Occupation

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Aug.
19.-What is considered here as a
situation of increasing gravity has
been precipitated by the issuance of
a decree by President Diaz of Mica
ragua tending to abrogate the gen
eral treaty signed in Washington
between Nicaragua and the other
Central-American governments in
1928.
After reference to the paragraph
binding the signatories to refrain
from direct or indirect interference
in the affairs Of one another, the de-
cree continues;
"And inasmuch as the fulfillment
of the above obligations necessitates
the dictation of suitable measures,
the Ministerial Council DEGREES the
following articles:
First, that all propaganda by
word or writing, made by Mica
raguans, Central Americans or
aliens within the republic, tending
to organize or foment revolutionary
or subversive acts against any
recognized Central American gov
eminent shall be considered as a
violation of the general treaty of
amity and peace of Feb. 7, 1928.
Secondly, that the government
authorities can refuse to recognize
the rights of Central Americans or
foreigners whose activities violate
the previous article.
"Third, that the minister of the
interior may dictate measures neces-
sary to stop revolutionary or sub
yersive activities from being devel-
oped through mail, telegraph or
telephone offices"
While no doubt the issuance of
such decree at this time is in
tended to increase the power of the
American supervisors in controlling
all elements during the elections in
November, Hondurans see in it an
overt preparation for suspension of
relations between the two govern
ments, with possible occupation by
American forces should the Ameri-
can authorities find invasion an aid
in driving back to Nicaragua the
poems, sympathetic to General San
dino, who escaped to Honduras fol-
lowing the campaign in Nueva
Segovia.
Criticism of the government for
not taking a firmer stand originally
when the first demand was made by
the Americans for permission to oc-
cupy Honduran soil for the purpose
of ceorcing the Nicaraguans, is con-
tinuing. Warnings, then uttered,
that such a policy would only open
Honduras to the fate of the neigh
boring nation are now held to be
bearing fruit.
To fears as to the real sig
nificance of the Nicaraguan move in
relation to American military policy
against General SANDING and his ad-
herents, was added yesterday the
rumor that the action of the Mica
raguan president may have an. i'm
portance in opening the way for the
United States state department to
force upon this government the
Kellogg decision in the Guatemala
Honduran boundary dispute. This
decision the Honduran government
has steadfastly refused to accept,
claiming that the verdict is sure to
be. rendered against it in the Cen
trail American arbitration court,
where the all-powerful United Fruit
Company is backing Guatemala.

Note that the Chevrolet is ap.
proximately one hundred dollars
higher than the Ford, and that the
Whippet is about fifty dollars lower
than the Chevrolet. Chrysler is
right on the heels of the other three
The difference in price is ever
slighter than the figures indicate
The Chevrolet contains extras that
are not on the Ford cars. The Chrys.
Ter is better built car and is about
the same price when the difference
in quality is considered. The Pom
tiac car will cut very heavy into
the sales of the Ford car. The
statesmen of the General Motors are
using quite an appropriate slogan
"Sixes are better than four"
Besides these facts, there are re-
ports that Ford has not reached the
amount expected. Production has
not yet reached 1000 cars a
day. This production should have
been reached last March, and the
number of employees is slightly in
excess of a previous high mark of
three years ago when the production
was around eight and ten thousand
cars day.
This means that up to now the
Ford Company has not reached the
mark it set for itself, of a produc-
ton of about 10000 cars a day.
Will the Ford Company be able
to overcome the difficulties it has
encountered in the production of the
new car? 1t is difficult to say but
in any event the trend of the Ford
Company seems to be downward.
One thing is certain, such cut
throat competition can result in
only one of two things: either the
elimination of the weaker concerns
and the survival of the strongest, or
the amalgamation of the auto cor
porations. At present merger after
merger is taking place.
Recently the Locomobile and the
Durant combined. The Pierce
Arrow and Studebaker companies
are becoming one concern, and the
Dodge Brothers and the Chrysler
have merged.
The tendency in the automobile.
industry is probably in the direction
of merger between the General
Motors and Chrysler-Dodge against
the Ford Company.
Outside of the genuine competi-
ton between General Motors, Ford
and others, special competitive
standards are set up within the
same companies. One department
is matched against the other. The
cost Of one unit of production is
with the cost of a similar
unit in another machine. The cost
Of similar units are compared and
The wages and standards of pro-
1uction are based on it.

In the next article we will deal
with the special forms of exploita-
ion which economists term "yari-
,us forms Of wage payments"-but
which in reality gives the real pic
ture of the modern slavery in the
automobile industry.

Conference in Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois, Aug. 49,
As an outcome Of the strong SEN
timent aroused by the debeate be-
tween Anthony, Minerich, leader
of the movement to build a new
union, and John w. Hindmarsh
president of sub-district five of the
United Mine Workers Of America
before more than 1000 miners in
Springfield last Sunday, series OF
sub-district conferences will be held
in District IL beginning Monday
August 20.
The debate which has niflamed all
Southern Illinois, occurred quite &C
cidentally. Local Union 494 called
the mass meeting to protest the
wage cut which is being imposed
upon them by the policy commit
tee. After resolutions rejecting the
wage cuts were passed, Minerich
and John Watt were spied in the
audience. A cry went up, Urging
them to speak.
Minerich and then Watt analysed
first the situation in the Illinois coal
fields and then in the whole coun-
try, stressing that the formation of
new union was the only solution
since election steals, "blue sky" To-
Gals and packed conventions make it
impossible to legally GUST the cor
rupt officjaldom.
Hindmarsh Exposed.
Hindmarsh was attacked for his
work in bringing about the wage
cut, and accused by local miners
who later took the floor for his
"pick-handle" methods of fighting
the progressives.
When Hindmarsh finally took the
floor, he was jeered and booed by
the miners and several hundred chill
dren who had gathered around the
platform crying labor faker!"
When Hindmarsh extended his hand
to Minerich, the latter replied,
when I was kid and went to my
first miners convention, Hindmarsh
called me hi boy and I was proud
of ii then. But now I cannot shake
his hand
In the course of the debate which
followde, Hindmarsh buried his face
in his hands. Local miners accused
him of handing a machine gun out
of an automobile at the office of
the Old West Mine at the time of
the "pick-handle" fight.

Butler Aces
Run Wild as
Pitt Tumbles
HiIdebrand Drops in II
Points; Chandler Cages
Is Markers.
BY NORMAN IsAACS

Two sturdy Indianapolis athletes,
vision unimpaired, combined with
their Butler university basketeering
teammates Thursday night at the
Bulldog field house to make things
unpleasant for the highly-touted
University of Pittsburgh cage squad.
The two Sharp-ShooterS were Hill
debrand and Chandler, and when
the Butterflies had finished their
evenings toll, the Smoky City court
squad was on the lean end of a
35 to 33 count.
Stay Out of Indiana!
The Pittsburghers, boasting a
record of twenty seven consecutive
victories, made woeful error in
advancing into Indiana. The east
ernerS were in what appeared to be
top form, passed beautifully, guard
ed well and worked the floor fine.
Butler, on the other hand, seemed
to be in early season form. The
passing of the Indianapolis colleg-
ians wasn't what could be termed
neat, and their handling of the
leather was rather poor. They
fumbled frequently and missed as
many shots as Pittsburgh took ali
night.
Hildebrand and Chandler. how
ever, were in rather good shooting
shape and the former counted seven
field goals and three fouls, a total
of seventeen points, while the ex-
Techite dropped in five buckets"
and a trio from the foul stripe,
thirteen points in all.
5000 See Contest
Pittsburgh's best point-getters
were L. Cohen, Baker and Hyatt
Cohen Melted eleven points, Baker,
ten, and Hyatt, five. The score was
rather close all the way through
and the crowd of about 5000 re-
ceived plenty of excitement. The
Bulldogs were ahead at the half,
II to 16, and for a time near the
end of the game were ahead by six
points. The evenings figures:

CHICAGO. Dec. 14.-Harmony
was the prevailing keynote, as
American and National League club
owners left here today after their
joint meeting. Player transfers
supplied the chief news of an other
wise drab session.
The suggestion advanced by Presi
dent John Heydler, at the National
League meeting, that ball clubs use
tenth man in the lineup to bat for
weak hitting pitchers, was presented
to the meeting but not discussed.
National League magnates were re-
ported to favor this unique SUCCESS
ton, but American leaguerS regard
ed the proposal as the outstanding
joke of the "hot stove league" sea-
son. No attempt was made to have
the change adopted.
Major Farm" Question
Another controversial subject
major league ownership of minor
league clubs-also was treated with
caution. Commissioner Lands was
reported to be in sympathy with the
minors in opposing the chain
store" ownership of teams, and it
had been expected he would ask
the majors to agree to dispose of
their holdings.
President Sam Breadon, of the st.
Louis Cardinals, and heads of other
clubs which maintain a chain of
FARMS" we're ready to fight any
curbing of their activities. Just be-
fore the close of the meeting Lands
requested the major league owners
to report regarding what minor
league clubs they control, but he
gave no indication of indorSing the
minor league demand that big league
clubs dispose Of minor league hold
ingS.
The magnateS voted to open the
season next year on Tuesday, April
Is, and close on Oct. 6, the latest
closing date of recent years.
Straight Waiver Price
Rule changes included ban on
signing of players under II years
old, and the establishment of a
straight waiver price of $780,
The club owners voted donation
of $4,000 for the American Legions
