JOBS SEEN AS
FEDERAL DUTY
Putting Unemployed Back to
Work Is Roosevelt Job,
Says La Toilette.

Putting the jobless back to work
is the primary duty of the national
government, former Governor Philip
LaFOllette Of Wisconsin, told the
Indiana Council on International
Relations at the Roberts Park M. E.
church Friday night.
1T is ridiculous to say that a
government that modified it's peo-
pie to fight war 1000 miles away,
that told the farmer what to plant.
that told the induStrialiSt what to
make and what he could pay, that
actually took the men from their
homes and placed them in the army,
lacks the power to mobilize it's re-
sources to put men back to work, q"
La Toilette said.
Asked regarding the Roosevelt
program for unemployment through
public works, he said he only knew
about it through the newspapers.
but approved what he read regard
ing it.

PRESIDENT NOT
TO SEEK WAR
DEBTS POWER
Congress Not to Be Asked
for Authority to Revise
or Compromise.
BY WILLIAM F. KERRY
United Press staff Correspondent
lCnnu-irht 1879 ~ rrrt.na d.

tOOpNElENt. 1858. ON united PRESS
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Demo-
cratic leaders of house and senate
have been advised by the highest
administration sources that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has abandoned all
intention of seeking congressional
authority to revise or compromise
the war debts.
This information was Interpreted
today by party chieftainS as also
foreclosing all possibility that the
Chief executive might seek power to
grant a moratorium on Europe's
S14O 100000 June Is payments as a
trading point in the forthcoming
world ecoomic conference.
Great Britain, among other ma
tions, has made no provision in its
budget for the June payment. The
United States, therefore, apparent
~ must face wholesale defaults un-
less there is an unexpected change
in this countrys attitude.
Word on Capitol hill of the ad-
ministration's decision conceded
WIN a feDun OF new French pro-
poSal.
Ambassador Andre De Laboulaye
of France discussed the June pay
ment with both Mr.. Roosevelt and
State Secretary Cordell Hull Friday
night.
1t was learned that France Of
fered to pay the $4,000, 900 defaulted
last December if the United States
would grant a moratorium on the
money due next month.
Recalling that Great Britain
paid what was due last December
without compromising promises of
future concessions, Mr.. Roosevelt
feels that it would be unfair to give
Paris what was denied to London.

FARM STRIKE
POSTPONED
Holiday Leaders to Await
Results of RooSeveIt'S
Legislation.
BY WILLIAM +. HALLBERG
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ST. PAUL, Mimi May 13.-The
national farm strike has been post
poned indefinitely by leaders of
the movement, but from the ranks
oI the strike organization came
mutterings Of dissatisfaction today.
In Wisconsin, a milk strike,
second in three months, was ordered
despite the postponement Of the
national movement.
Elsewhere in the midwest mem
bers of the national farm holiday
association attacked action of their
leaders in abandoning strike plans
until the results Of President Roose-
velt's farm legislation became
evident.
Milo Reno, picturesque chief Of
the Holiday association, and four
teen directors will meet within two
weeks to survey effects Of the new
farm bill
If they decide results do not meet
standards predicted by the Pres
ident, a new strike date will be set,
and the embargo carried out as
planned originally.
OIsOn's Plea Wins Support
The meeting will be held in Des
Moines, headquarters Of the associa-
ton.
Reno, who came here Friday for
the conference with leaders Of three
other states, which resulted in can
ceiling of the strike, left for Des
Moines on a midnight train.
I'VE have in no way retreated
from our fundamental demand for
guarantee of production costs for
the farmer" Reno said.
He explained the strike was post
poned "out OF respect for our chief
executive and regard for the opin-
ion that public sentiment is in ia
vor of giving the administration an
opportunity to fulfill its promises"
A dramatic move by Governor
Floyd Olson Of Minnesota just be-
for appendicitis snapped the last
opposition to strike postponement.
Governor Olson dictated a mes
sage from his hospital bed, urging
suspension of the strike.
Two days ago he returned from
Washington, where he conferred
with President Roosevelt and re-
ceived a promise that the admins
tration would urge financial COM
panies to be lenient with farm
mortgages.
Seek to Avoid BIOOdshed
Governor Olson revealed that
Agriculture Secretary Henry A.
Wallace had told him he favored a
fair exchange clause" under which
price of wheat and other commodi-
ties would be increased to equal in
buying power corresponding units
of industrial production.
Wallace told Olson, the Governor
said. that he hoped to set the price
of wheat at "a cents a bushel, and
raise other commodities correspond
ingly.
In his plea for suspension Of the
strike, Governor Olson pointed out
that bloodshed, and perhaps death,
probably would attend the embargo.
A point set out by Governor Olson
which carried much weight with
Reno and the others was that the
strike, ( started now, would do
much to destroy favorable farm
sentiment built up in the east dur
ing the last few weeks.

Despite the many obstacles placed

for a strike but have been held back
by the officials, seem to be nearer
to it than ever before. The prom

Brush Workers OF
Amer. Safety Pazor
Walk Out on Strike

NEW YORK.-Yesterd morning,
the entire brush department of the
American Safety Razor Corporation
at Main Street, Brooklyn, came out
on strike when their demands for
union recognition and for higher
wages were not granted.
The shop committee presented the
demands of the workers before the
strike was called. The boss, dismayed
by the action taken, tried to per-
suade the workers that he could not
grant their demands because the cor
poration is operating at a loss and
jobs were being given only to keep
them employed.
The workers were not convinced by
this speech and decided to strike,
after meeting at headquarters, 33
Myrtle Ave-, Brooklyn. They sent
their committee again for final
answer and again the boss refused
their demands. Picketing will begin
this morning. The strike is led by
the United Brush Workers Union.
