TARDlEU TEST DUE
IN VOTE TOMORROW
Ministry Faces Determined On
slaught as Radicals Muster
Strength.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 6.-The newly
completed ministry of Andre Tardieu,
who will present his ministerial decla-
ration to the Chamber of Deputies to-
morrow, will face a determined on
Slaught to unseat it.
The radical Socialists, without wait
ing for the ministerial outline of policy,
today decided unanimously to vote
against the new government, and en-
phasized its position by making such an
adverse vote a matter OF party dlscip-
line
This action has stiffened the oppo-
sition and narrows the pren1ier's al
ready scant margin of safety, as it has
been noted he might have the benefit
of few absentees.
The Conservative press meanwhile
highly approves Tardieus refusal to let
the party leaders rule so that Parlia-
ment will face the solution If majority
cannot be mustered.
The cabinet held long discussion to-
day on the ministerial declaration, and
in the terms of an official communique
found itself "in perfect unanimity on all
the points at issue" This included a
demand for immediate discussion of
the governments general and foreign
policy.
Among the decisions taken this morn
ing was that ministers will decline all
invitations to banquets, luncheons and
other gatherings as long as vital ques-
tons still remain to be decided

LEWIS FILES CHARGES.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, November (P).
John L. Lewis, international president
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, today. in answering injunction pro-
ceedlngs started by officials of the IL
linois district of the union to prevent
his unseating them, made 10 charges of
insubordinaiton against the State off,
cials. He also definitely charged that
State President Harry Fishwick mis-
appropriated $28,202.1O of union funds.
Lewis denied the Illinois district was
an autonomous organization with au-
thority and power to carry on without
supervision of the international union.
The answer also denied that Fishwick
was an official at the time injunction
proceedings were started, inaSmuch as
the charter of District IL had already
been revoked, and therefore Fishwick
and others were not entitled to re-
course to court of equity.

BROOKHART STORY
TOLD GRAND JURY
Further Action on "WaIl
Street Booze Party" Up
to Body, Says Rover.

Whether further action will be taken
in the wall Street booze party" barred
by Senator Smith w. Brookhart of
Iowa rests with the grand jury, it was
said this afternoon by United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover following the ap-
pearance before the grand jury this
morning of the Iowa Senator.
Brookhart was called before the grand
! jHry 10 tel OF the party which was given
three years ago for members of Con-
gress. He has already detailed the af-
fair to the Senate.
MFR Rover responded to a direct ques-
iton this afternoon that no action had
been taken looking to the su.nmoning
as witnesses before the grand jury of
any of the persons named by Brookhart
in his testimony this morning.
Asked whether it was likely that other
persons would be summoned, Mr. Rover
said
IT have requested the grand jury to
consider the testimony Of Senator
Brookhart and have asked the grand
jurors to advise me tomorrow as to
their wishes in the matter"
Senator Brookhart appeared at the
courthouse a few minutes before IL
O'Clock this morning and for rs minutes
thereafter closeted with Rover. During
that time he and the district attorney
posed for several photographs and few
moments later went together to the
grand juryroom.
Comment Flatly Refused.
Brookhart declined fatty to discuss
his testimony with reporters.
LAS you fellows know" Senator
Brookhart told newspaper men, grand
jury proceedings are secret" He smiled
and added that reporters rash enough
to violate this rule might find them
selves in contempt of court" He ap-
parently referred to the three staff men
of the Times now serving a contempt
sentence at the District jail
While Senator Brookhart was going
before the grand jury, one of his coll
leagues, Senator Howell, Republican of
Nebraska, was gathering data for an
other speech to be made in the Senate
in the near future on the subject of
prohibition. Senator Howell started
the discussion over dry law enforce
ment in Washington when he delivered
a previous speech in the Senate about
a month ago. 1t was not certain when
Senator Howell will speak again, but
indications were that it would be sew
eral days.
Witnesses Are Suggested.
