SAME MINISTERS
in new CABINET
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, July %. W.p-Aristide
BRAND, new premier of France,
completed his task of forming n
cabinet today and will tackle the
task of former Premier Raymond
Poincare with the ministry un-
changed.
Efforts to placate the opposition
radical forces by including two of
their leaders in the cabinet as men,
hers without portfolio failed.
Edouard Herriot and Edouard Dala-
dier, leading radicals, were invited
to join the cabinet as ministers of
state (without portfolio) but a
party conference vetoed their ac-
ceptance.
Herriot previously had accepted
BRAND $ invitation to join the cab
met, subject to his party's approval
He explained that he could join the
cabinet only as minister without
portfolio, as his duties as mayor of
Lyons prevented him from taking
full charge of a ministry.
However, meeting of the radical
group was called in the chamber of
deputies to discuss the advisability
of Herriot and Daladier entering
the cabinet. Herriot postponed his
departure for Lyons to attend. The
conference voted down BRAND $ of
fer.

RICH MANS AIDES

LOS ANGELES, July 90 U.n)-
Two men who set upon newspaper
photographer, attempting to take
pictures of the defendants in a
bribery case, were arrested here to-
day and charged with assault with
intent to do great bodily harm.
The men were John Sobiek and
Benjamin Neblett, described as the
bodyguards of F. P. Newport, mil
lionaire real estate dealer. The
photographer was William Snyder,
on the staff of a Los Angeles
paper.
Newport and his secretary,

the charges when Snyder attempted
to take picture of them.

beaten by Sobiek and Neblett.
Deputy sheriffs interceded after
Snyder had been pummeled and led
his assailants away to Jail.

BROMLEY TO Get
new PLANE FOR
JAPANESE TRIP
Backers To Replace His
Ship Destroyed Sunday
In Take-Off.

TACOMA, Wash, July 29.Up) -
Thousands of Tacoma citizens whc
spent Saturday night at Pierce coun-
~ airport to see Harold Bromley
take off for Tokyo at dawn, only
to be DISAPPOINTED when his plane
nosed over and was wrecked, today
welcomed with enthusiasm, the
news that the flight would be made
this summer.
The committee backing the ven
ture. headed by John Buffelen, pro-
minent Tacoma lunberman, met last
night and went into every detail of
the end of the first attempt.
''The finances are guaranteed for
second attempt of The City of
Tacoma to take off for Tokyo, -
said Buffclen. "The hackers of the
flight have absolute faith in our
pilot, Harold Bromley and his plane,
We feel he did everything in his
power to make the flight a success
and stand firmly back of him. -
The committee gave unanimous
approval to the statement made by
Rutfelen aud at once opened nego-
tiations by wire with the Lockheed
factory to have the plane rebuilt or
to have a new machine built for the
400 mile flight and rushed to com
pletion as rapidly as possible.
Buffelen and Mayor James New
h.r . m y II n IL
were reported to have wired the
Lockhced factory, at Burbank, Cal,
to proceed with the construction of
a new plane rs quickly as possible
no matter what the cost. Buffelen
refused to deny that such a tele-
gram had been sent but neither
would he confirm it.
Plane Wrecked
Little of the old machine, aside
from the engine, can be used. One
wing and the empennage and in
struments are all that remain in
tact.
The fuselage was shattered and
the right wing completely demolish-
ed. The undercarriage was torn off
and the propeller bent as the ma
chine left the runway and nosed
over in soft dirt as Bromley
attempted to- take off at Cos a. m.
Sunday.
Bromley was not injured. He was
rushed from the field at once and
later explained that the accident
was due to gasoline sloshing from
tank vents, being picked up by the
propeller slip-stream and sprayed
into his face.
The tanks were designed to hold
904 gallons and it is reported that
considerably more, had been put in
to them before the machine roared
down the runway in front of a
crowd of $4,000 gathered at the
airport since midnight Saturday.

ENGLISH MILLS
CLOSE MAKING
MILLIONS IDLE
Premier Macdonald To
Intervene In Dispute
With Labor.
By WEBB MILLER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, July % King Cot
TOM commanded the attention of
all Great Britain today as the stop
page of all textile mills in the
kingdom threatened to paralyze the
gigantic industry in north England.
1t was reported in some quarters
today that despite the pressure Of
heavy international affairs, Ramsay
Macdonald himself intends to in
tervene in the cotton mills labor
dispute and thus turn the attention
of the nation momentarily from bat
tleships to bobbins and from mil
lions of pounds to millions of
spindles.
Reports early today indicated
that the stoppage of work in the
English cotton mills was practically
complete. In each district the re-
ports showed several non-federated
mills still working and several fed
Grated mills engaged on urgent or
ders continuing under the old rates.
But the few thousands employed
therein were infinitesimal compared
with the half million employees who
were idle.
Although the doors of the fed
Grated cotton mills were open to re-
ceive any worker who was willing
to accept a 1919 per cent reduction
in wages, approximately 1,S00 plants
which are usually beehives of shut
thing, humming industry were silent.
The strike is one of the biggest
labor difficulties since the 1926 gen
eral strike, which was brought about
by the stoppage of the coal indus
try.
The workers insist the reorganiza-
tion of the industry is essential. The
employers contend that a reduction
in wages is harsh necessity before
they are able to reorganize.

durance attempt which Haughland
had made, both the Minnesota avia-
