C. p. Savery sees at various points.
Generally the officers
had the best of it, but not always.
Near Gushing, Ia, force of fifty dep
uties that undertook to escort FIVE
truckloads of hogs was attacked by
hundreds of farmers armed with lead
pipes and sticks. and eleven deputies
were injured. The aroused sheriff de-
clared the picket lines would be
broken. 1t is noteworthy that many
of the members of the late bonus army
have entered the fray on the side Of
the striking farmers.
ENGLAND was confronted with one
II of the worst strikes Of recent
years when more than 125,000 cotton
weaverS in Lancashire quit work be-
cause of a wage cut and working con-
ditions. While most of the mills
were forced to close, some continued
with depleted staffs and others, which
made private arrangements with the
workers. operated at full capacity. The
leaders of the weavers' union esti-
mate that the walkout was two-thirdS
effective on the first day and believe
it will spread to all the mills.
A direct appeal to King George to
intervene through the government in
the dispute was sent to Balmoral by
Joe Compton. former Laborite men,
Der of parliament. who Yields great
influence in the mill district.
1t appears likely that the 10000 con-
ductors and drivers of London buses
would strike soon because of wage re-
auctions and changes in working con-
ditions ordered by the London Gen.
eral Omnibus company.
GERMANY was tremendously ex-
" cited when its parliament met,
for Adolf Hitler had decided that his
23O Nazi members should not support
the Won Papen government. At the
last moment the chancellor had
luncheon with Hitler and in their dis
cussion the breach between them was
widened. Won Papen then went quickly
to Neudeck, where President Won Hin
denburg was resting on his estate and
received from him authority to dis
solve the reichstag al his discretion,
giving him almost dictatorial powers.
The aged president told the chancellor
he was at liberty to take this step IL
the reichstag tried to vote no conf
dence in Won Papen's government and
its $500.O00.000 reconstruction pro-
gram. which seemed certainty. This
would give the chancellor's regime at
least three months further life.
The entire German press features
the Neudeck confab as Of historic mo-
ment. There is no doubt that Won
Papen enjoys the presidents full con-
fidence and the chancellor will not
yield even to a Nazi-Centrist combina-
ton unless the president can be shown
that such a coalition would set up
a presidential and not party cabi-
net and that it would offer a con-
crete program of action. acceptable to
the majority of the reichstag and at
least as good or better than Won
Papen's.
Clara Zetkin. seventy
Communist, presided over the opening
session of the reichstag. being entitled
to that prerogative by being the old
est member. She demanded the i'm
parchment Of the president and cabi-
net in a long speech. The National
Socialists behaved with dignity and.
with the aid of the Catholic Centrists,
Nationalist and Bavarian Peoples
party. they elected as speaker Her
mann William Goering, one Of Hitler's
lieutenants. Goering declared he would
act impartially but would stand for
nothing derogatory to the national
honor.

Edward A. Dato. Krenn's partner in a
real estate firm, has announced that
before Mrs. Mccormick died Krenn

tate as we'll as his interest in the
