JOHNSON TO GIVE
ANTICOURT VIEW
California Senator viii Be
Heard in Radio Forum
Tomorrow Night.

Senator Hiram johnson Of California,
ardent foe OF American adherence to
FRS World Court, will be the speaker
in the National Radio Forum, arranged
by The Washington Star and broad
cast over the coaSt-to-coaSt network
Of the Columbia BroadcaSting System,
st $50 o'clock tomorrow night.
Senator johnson Is an important
member of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, which has just by vote de-
termined to postpone consideration OF
the World Court proposal until the first
Wednesday after Congress meets next
December. He opposed adherence Of
this country to the World Court when
the proposal was before the Senate
four years ago. on the ground that the
court is the League of Nations Court
and that entrance of the United States
into the court would be kind OF back
door entrance into the League OF Ma
tons itself
The California Senator holds that
the so-called Root formula and the
revised statutes of the Werld Court do
not meet the objection to advisory
opinions delivered by the court at the
request of the League of Nations and
its members, raised by the Senate when
it adopted reservation 5, when 1t
agreed to adherence with reserva-
lions" in 1926. He also is opposed to
the entry of the United States into the
World Court as now constituted, be-
lieving that this country may become
entangled in foreign politics through
such entry. Senator Johnson is recog-
nized as one Of the most eloquent and
hardest-hitting debaters In the Senate
today.
Senator Johnson's speech will be in
answer to Senator Capper,, who upheld
American adherence in his speech in
the National Forum last Saturday
night.

DANV|LLE STOCK
DIVIDENDS VOTED
Three Per Cent Cut to Pre-
ferred Shareholders Is
Strike Answer.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, December l9.-
Voting of the regular semi-annusl divi-
dend Of 3 per cent on preferred stock
to its stockholders was the answer of
the Riverside and Dan River Cotton
AGillS today to the Textile Unions claims
as to the effectiveness of the strike of
1000 union operatives, which is now in
its twelfth week. This action, taken
by the board OF directors at 3 meeting
yesterday noon, emphasizes the mill
management's contention that the
plants are operating as fully as market
demands justify and that all orders re-
ceived are being filled, indicating that
the strike is not materially affecting the
operation of the plants.
Payable January 1.
The dividend declared yesterday is
payable to stockholders on January ].
There is s7,500,OoO worth of preferred
stock of the mills outstanding, which
means that the dividend will release
about $225, 900 the first of the year.
Word Of the action was generally vel
coined in business circles, since the dis
tribution Of close to q quarter million
dollars would materially relieve the
despair of merchants caused by stagna-
ton Of business owing to the strike
complex, tobacco crop failure and
consequent low prices paid and general
financial stringency.
Failure to pay the dividend would
have been feather in the cap OF the
union and the strikers, since 1t would
be demonstrated that the mills were not
doing so well IN the face Of the strike.
Strikers Hopes Not Hampered.
However, the development has not
dampened the hopes of the strikers, it
was learned in union circles. Some
expressed the view that the action was
for effect"
The union, however, declined to make
an official formal statement at this
time.
Cutting and hauling Of wood from q
nearby farm halted by q 2-foot snow
was resumed today and strikers whose
fuel supply had run short were again
being replenished.
No dividend was declared on COM
mon stock by the directors none hav-
ing been paid since last January be-
cause Of the unsettled condition of the
cotton goods market
The strike situation remained quiet
this morning, with apparently the usual
number going to work and with pickets
at their posts and troops continuing
their patrols.

in the closing minutes of yesterdays
hearing of the suit of minority stock
holders for the appointment OF a re-
ceiver for the Wardman Mortgage and

they entered prayer that their origt-
nal petition be amended to ask that
approximately $4,000 shares Of stock OF
the corporation held by Harry Ward
man, Thomas p. Bones and James d.
Hobbs be Cancelled. Judge william p.
Woolls took the plea under advisement.
Plaintiff Attorney Harry r. Kennedy
charged in introducing the prayer that
the State Corporation Commission had
inadvertently allowed the issuance of
the stock, which comprises about three
fourthS of the total stock issued, to
the three men for services on which
no value was ever placed.
Judge Daniel Thew Wright, counsel
for the defense, in objecting to the
prayer commended that the stock was
Commission when the stock-issue plan
was authorized. Judge Wright further
commended that this plea was aside from
the original purpose of the suit and
that if any idea of such plea had
been given at the outset of the trial
the procedure of the defense would have
been entirely different.
Following the close of the case yes
terday. the nearing was adjourned until
January by agreement of counsel for
both sides. About two more days will
be required to complete the case, 1t was
estimated yesterday. The plaintiffs
have rested their side of the case, and
when the hearing is reopened, the de-
Tense will put its witnesses on the
stand. Among these witnesses will be
Harold S, Roberts, certified public ac-
countant, formerly of the firm of Stoy
IL Roberts, who audited the books of
the defendant corporation each year
from its inception.
Most of the day yesterday was con-
sumed with the defense's cross-exami-
nation of John Berg. certified public
accountant employed by the plaintiffs,
and the redirect examination of this
witness by plaintiff attorneys The
case has already consumed nine court
days, and the record has reached about
1000 pages.

Speaking in the Senate this afternoon
in opposition to the Couzens proposal
to require local labor on public works
wherever the Federal Government is
planning projects Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, declared the agitation
for such a rule started in Washington.
"a contractor in North Carolina had
bid on one of the larger projects of i'm
provement here in the District of
Columbia" Senator Glass said. "He
was the lowest bidder under one section
of the proposals. An outcTy was made
that he was going to bring his con-
struction force from North Carolina
into the District of Columbia.
"The' authorities Of the District of
Columbia, in response to local senti-

rejected"
Senator Glass commended that North
Carolina and Virginia, through their
Federal taxes, had contributed to the
lump sum contribution of $4,000
from the United States toward main

JOBLESS AID ASKED
BY LLOYD GEORGE
Liberal Leader Points to U. S. for
Example Of Proper Action
to Take.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 19.-In America,
David Lloyd George reminded the
House Of Commons today, President
Hoover has announced that millions of
dollars will be spent this year for the
relief of unemployment And why"
he demanded, don't we take such steps
here?"
He was making an onslaught against
the governments recent white paper
setting out its unemployment relief ac-
tivities. He characterized the document
as very vague" giving no indication of
what Is going on in England. He held
up the example of the United States
as a model upon which the Macdonald
government might pattern its own un-
employment program.
His speech was sort OF tolloW-up
on his previous demands that the gov
eminent should tackle the unemploy-
ment problem after the sweeping fash
ion advocated by himself and the Lib
eral party.
The fiery little Welshman expressed
dissatisfaction with some of the figures
in the white paper and F. w. Pethick
Lawrence, financial secretary to the
treasury, produced set Of compilations
which still did not satisfy him.
If more complete details could not be
given, said Lloyd George, he would
have to revert to the subject later "in
q formal way" by which the opinion of
the House could be obtained.
