SOUNDS WARNING
NOTE TO NATION
Declares Other Countries
Will Retaliate Against
High Tariff.
BY PERCY C. RICHARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. U.P)
-Rapping proponents of American
isolation in politics and denouncing
the cry of "high tariff" Owen d..
Young, chairman of the board of
General Electric company, New
York, sounded a warning note to
Americans in his speech to the
1000 delegates attending the 43rd
annual convlave of the National
Electric Light Association here last
night.
His address, which was broadcast
over a network of stations, attack
ed the tariff and American political
islation but at the same time offer
ed y cure for Americas greatest all
ment-overproduction.
81 had hoped that that old doc
trine of narrow and self-dcstroying
selfishness was being supplanted in
this new day by a consciousness
that men helped themselves the
most by helping others too
"Isolation in our politics, cXclus
ion in our tariff, means that we
will retain as a just penalty to our
own littlness the surpluses which
we might otherwise market to the
peoples of the world, and which,
so long as they stay with us, destroy
our own prosperity" he declared in
warning his listeners to beware OF
retaliation from other countries in
the form of high tariffs.
Young, who is also chairman of
the board of the Radio Corporation
of America and chairman of the
executives of the National Broad
casting company, took for his sub
ject, "The Problem of Our Ameri-
can Surplus"
He said the surpluses America
was most seriously confronted with
were: agriculture, raw material out
side the fields of agriculture, in
dustrial surplus, exportablc surplus
and surplus earnings.

SENAT
DIVIDED
ON ISSUE
Judiciary Committee Sub
mits Double Report On
Labor Injunction
WIDELY DISPUTED
Both Sides Favor Trans
fer Of Judges In Con-
tempt Cases.
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 20. UP)An
issue which promises to play a
prominent part in the forthc oming
elections was raised in the senate
today when its judiciary commit
tee submitted opposing reports on
the bill to limit the use of injunc-
tions in labor disputes.
The bill involves what some sen
ators call the issue between "human
and property rights" which figured
so prominently during the recent de-
bates over President lloover's nom
nations of Charles Evans Hughes
and John j. Parker to the supreme
court.
Two reports were submitted by
the committee. One was ma jOr-
ity report opposing the bill and the
other minority report, signed by
seven Of the committees II mem
bcrs, vigorously advocating it.
The bill would limit the issuance
by federal courts of injunctions in
labor disputes except when the dis
putcs involved violence, fraud OF
threats. Even then injunctions
could be issued only when all other
means of lawful restraining had
been exhausted.
The bill also would outlaw "yel-
low dog" labor contracts and declare
the public policy as favoring col
lcctive bargaining by employees.
Chairman Norris of the judiciary
committee, submitted the minority
report 1t declared "public senti.
mcnt has reached the conclusion
that some such limitation on injunc-
tions is necessary"
The ma aiority report, submitted
by Senator Steiwer, Republican,
Oregon. said substantial progress
has been made in relations between
employers and employees within the
past 10 years and that therefore
$50 far as abuse of injunction is
concerned there is less compelling
reason for the enactment of feder-
al legislation than formerly cN-
istcd"
Both reports favored the Nanden-
berg bin to provide for transfer of
judges in the trial of contempt
cases growing out of editorial crit
icism of judicial action, which had
been incorporated in the injunction
measure.

The Great Northern and the West
ern Pacific railroads were author
lied today to build 22s miles of new
constructions connecting their sys-
tens between klamath Falls, Ore,

The decision, announced by the

eliminates one of the longest drawn
and bitter legal battles in the his
tory of western railroading and as
sures the San Francisco bay region
of second great transcontinenta

Virtually every prominent rail
road official and counsel in the
west were assembled last fall al
San Francisco, when the Great
Northern-W Western Pacific applica.
tion was presented in a 10 day
hearing b c f ore Commissioner
Charles d. Mahaffie.
Before the hearing was over, more
than $50 civic, county and state
organizations representing the ter
ritory from San Francisco to the
Mississippi river had entered the
battle, mostly aligned on the side
of the applicants.
The Southern Pacific, then mon
opolists in the territory, sent corps
of more than 100 legal, railroad,
agricultural and economic experts
to protest the application on the
ground that their billion dollar in

SUSPECTS Held
IN new YORK'S
MANIAC DEATHS

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, June 20.
W.R Joseph Clarke, "a year old
escaped inmate of the Crecdmorc,
n. Y, hospital for the insane, was
arrested here today, and after a
brief hearing, ordered sent to New
York as a suspect in the "manias
MURDERS of Queens, Long Island.
He was traced through a letter
which had been received some days
ago by +. M. Clarke, Queens Viii
lagc, Long Island. At almost the
time Clarke was taken into custody
today, John MOszynski, brother of
Joseph Moszynski the first man muir
dercd by the Queens madman, re-
ceived a special delivery letter at
his home here threatening him with
death.
The special delivery letter to John
Moszynski was much the same in
tone as some of the maniac e com
munications. 1t said that he was
"neXt on the list' and ordered him
to leave the valuable papers, in
the lavatory of the Broad street
station of the Pennsylvania station
in Philadelphia, or death will fol
low
The man who wrote TO the New
York Evening journal of the kill
ings was obsessed with the problem
of recovering some valuable papers
and apparently also was imbucd
with an idea of protecting woman
hood.
While Clark was in court here,
word came that another suspect in
the Queens murder cases had been
arrested in Newark, n. j. He an
swered the description of an escaped
inmate of the Kings Park hospital
for the insane, New York.
Clark's description differs consid
erably from that given by the girl
companions, witnesses of both the
Moszynski and Noel Sowley killings,
the latter the second man killed by
the Queens lunatic.
