REICH THREATENED
BY DICTATORSHIP
Chancellor Acts to Force New
Tax Plan Rejected by
Parliament.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 1.-THE club of vir-
tual dictatorship, government by decree,
was brandished over Germany today by
the chancellor, DR.. Heinrich Bruening.
Indications were that the Reichstag
would be dissolved II It questioned the
ehancellor's plan to enact the govern
ment's financial program in this wise.
In such an eventuality President Paul
Won Hindenburg, the chancellor and the
finance minister, DIR. Hermann Diet
rich, would exercise, under article AZ Of
the constitution, an almost limitless au-
thority, not responsible to legislative
body.
The situation came to a head yester-
day In discussion of article of the
finance ministry's program, involving
new forms Of taxation.
Article Is Rejected.
In a division upon this article the
governments majority, never stable. fell
down. The article was rejected, 256 to
204.
The chancellor, amid cries of RE
signi Resign!" from the Communists,
said:
"In the name of the government 1
must now declare that 1t no longer
places any value on continuation of de-
bate"
Shortly afterward the cabinet met
and decided to enact the finance
measure by decree, an action authorized
by the President, who also gave the
chancellor authority to dissolve Parlia-
ment.
Article AZ says: eff the public safety
and order In the German Reich are dis
turbed or endangered, the federal pres
ident may take measures necessary for
restoration Of the public safety and
order"
Socialists Ask Revocation.
The article also states that measures
decreed by the German President ARE
to be revoked upon demand of the
Reichstag."
The Socialist party today introduced
a motion to revoke the tax laws decreed
last night, and also a motion OF no
confidence. Under the rules OF the
Reichstag, these motions cannot come
to a vote before tomorrow.
The tax program invoked by decree
leyies, it is estimated, new taxes amount
ing to Sis, OO0, 900. The new taxes in
clude a reduction of income tax ex-
emptions and increases levies on gov
eminent employees.

Reckless Navigation, NegIi-
gence and Excessive Speed
Are Complaints.
SHIP LANES CONFERENCE
PROPOSED TO LAMONT
Steamboat Inspector Announces
Proceedings Against Brooks for
Loss of 40 Lives at Sea.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Charges of reckless navigation, neg
Hgence and navigating at excessive
speed in fog have been filed by Fed
eral steamboat inspectors at Boston
against Capt. Archie H. Brooks, master
Of the steamer Fairfax, which collided
with the tanker Pinthis of the Massa-
chusetts coast June 10 with the loss
of 40 lives.
Ship Lanes Conference Urged.
D. N. Hoover, who heads the steam
boat inspection service, announced the
proceedings today.
He recommended that Commerce Sec
rotary Lamont call conference of ship
owners establishing ship lanes in coast
wise waters and that tank ship oper-
ators be requested to work out a plan
for anchoring such vessels during fogs
where there is a chance of collision
with passenger carriers.
The Fairfax, q Merchants & Miners
liner operating coastwise, was held to
have collided with the Pinthis about SIX
miles or Scituate. The Pinthis was
tank carrier, owned by the Lake Tank-
ers' Corporation of Wilmington.
Blazing oil Trapped Many.
Gasoline from the tanker cargo
caught fire Immediately, and the blaz-
ing oil on the water contributed largely
to the loss Of life. OF the 40 dead, i6
were passengers on the Fairfax and
the balance were members Of the crews
Being nssskiiled was another charge
made against Capt. Brooks. If he Is
found guilty at the trial, his license as
master Is subject to revocation.
nothing IN the investigation to indicate
any laxness of Federal inspection serv-
ice as applied to the two vessels.
In specifying the charge of reckless
navigation against Capt. Brooks, the in
spectors charged that while in the
vicinity of Humarock Shoal buoy" he
had caused his vessel "to be navigated
in the waters Of Massachusetts, Bay in
dense fog, thereby causing q collision
between the steamship Fairfax and
motor vessel Pinthis.
Proper Maneuver Held Lacking.
second charge SAID the speed was
not moderate as contemplated by
article is of pilots rules while the
third charge llfulness-specified
that Capt. Brooks had failed to make
the proper maneuver on sighting the
motor vessel Pinthis, thereby causing
collision" The final charge of
negligence asserted that the liners
master had neglected to have an eff
flcient and diligent search made for
possible survivors who might have been
floating in the water" after the
collision.
No time has yet been hxed for the
trial board to sit. but under the usual
custom it will probably convene at
Boston. Its members, who will be local
inspectors of the Federal service, Will
have authority, in case their findings
are adverse to the master, to suspend
completely his license or to remove It
temporarily, but may make no findings
involving fines or imprisonment.

INJUNCTION BARS
GARF|NCKEL STRIKE
Justice Bailey Grants Tenn.
porary Order Against
IronWorkerS' Local.

Justice Jennings Bailey of the District
Supreme Court today granted tempo
rary injunction against Local No. 5 of
the Bridge, Structural and Ornamental
Ironworkers of America, and John A.
Locher, its business agent. to prevent
continuance of strike called ct the
Garfinckel Building, Fourteenth and r
streets, The local and Its agent are
directed to vacate and suspend until
further order of the court the strike
order preventing union men from con-
tinulng their employment with the
Tompkins Co., which has the general
contract for the building.
The injunction was asked by the
Metal Door & Trim Co. of La Porte,
Ind, through Attorney w. G. Sullivan,
who claimed that because the Indiana
company was using union carpenters
to construct elevator enclosures in the
building instead of ironworkers, a

on the building. The union and
Locher. through Attorney James S.
EaSby-Smith moved to dismiss the bill
and Justice Bailey has had the mat
ter under advisement.
Contract for Doors.
In the course of his opinion Justice
Bailey said: THE plaintiff Is q sub
contractor of Tompkins company, the
principal contractor engaged IN the
erection Of the Garfinckel Building and
Is under contract to install certain
metal doors in the construction of
that building. In doing this 1t has en-
ployed and claims the right to con-
tinue to employ union carpenters for
the installation.
The defendants, union metal work.

ana In order to coerce the plaintiff to
employ them have called a strike on
the other work being done by them on
the building. They have offered the
principal contractor the alternative of
either removing the doors already in
stalled by the plaintiff and having them
reinstalled by the ironworkers or to
have the remainder of the work done
by the lronworkers and to specify in all
future contracts for similar work that
1t be done by the metal workers.
Interference Is Charged.
cit is evident that by reason of the
inter-dependence of the various parts
of the construction of the building that

vent, or at least materially delay and
hinder the work which the plaintiff
has contracted to do, and constitutes an
unlawful interference with the plain.
ttds rights. There is no contract re-
lation between the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANT; 1t is not question of wages
nor even between union and non-union
labor. and in my opinion this case falls
squarely within the principles of Gen.
tral Metal Co. VS.. O'Brien, 27e Federal
827, which was affirmed by the Circuit
Court Of Appeals"
The Indiana company was required
the defendants from loss by reason of
the granting of the injunction.

MURDER GUN ONLY
TANGIBLE EVIDENCE
Owner of Weapon Declares
Barrere Had Access to 1t
Before Crime.

The .32-caliber gun used in the MUIR
der of Mary Baker is the only tangible
evidence in the hands of the police
which has developed in their investi-
cation into the crime.
So far they have been unable to de-
termine in whose hand the gun was
held when the three fatal shots were
fired into the body of the Navy Depart
ment clerk.
Ballistic experts at the Bureau of
Standards have definitely determined
that the bullets removed from the slain
girls body were fired from the pistol
turned over to police recently by Herbert
Campbell, Virginia real estate operator.
Fingerprints will not assist police in
determining who held the gun when
the shots were fired. The handle of
the gun bore many fingerprints, most
Of them badly smeared. The experts.
after photographing the gun for finger
prints, said it had been carelessly
handled by at least half-dozen persons

Under the rules, q petition for
cloture is automatically voted upon by
the Senate after one full day has in
tervened between its submission to the
Senate and the vote. It requires two-
thirds vote TO adopt cloture. After 1t
has ben adopted no Senator may speak
more than one hour all told on the
treaty or any amendment or reservation
thereto. Supporters Of the treaty insist
ed they had more than enough votes to
adopt the cloture rule If 1t becomes nee
essary. In the meantime efforts win be
continued to reach an agreement for
the limitation of debate, which would
obviate the necessity of invoking cloture.
Is or More Sign Petition.
Senator Watson found no dificulty
obtaining signatures for the cloture
petition. Only Is signatures of Sena-
tors are required for the cloture petition,

ators had signed.
Senator Watson said he had not de-
cided whether to file the petition today
or tomorrow. If he should bring 1t In

morrow the vote would come on Monday
He indicated again that If an agree

however well justified, would give the
opposition a chance to cry that it had
been gagged.
When the session of the Senate
opened today, Senator Watson told the
Senate that If the opposition would not
agree to limit debate beginning next
Tuesday, cloture, the only means by
which the majority could curb un-
necessary debate, would be invoked.
Johnson Refuses to Agree.
"Is the Senator from California
ready to agree to limit the debate?"
asked Senator Watson.
Il am not" replied Senator johnson
in loud tones.
"Will the Senator" continued Senator
Watson, agree that beginning next
