ROOSEVELT MOVES TO BRING PEACE
 TO COAL FIELDS
Bituniinous Mine Workers Still Unsettled Due to
 NOn-Agreements
Ry rRrpERICK A. sToRM


 New York, Oct 4--(UP)-Pres ident Roosevelt moved to-day to restore harmony for the third time. in the soft coal industry. He gave further study to plans for a per- mai,ent MIRA organization and to a program for the reopening of closed but solvent banks.
 MT Roosevelt scanned repom- mendations of General Hugh s. Johnson, national recovery admin. istrator, in the hopes of early so- luton of the coal ontroverscy and other MIRA problems. On the bank Mg question, he was relying large ly, 1t was understood, on proposals laid before him by Secretary of the Treasury Woodin.
 In connection with the coal slt- uation, made acute by refusal or captive mine owners to sign union contracts, friends of the president rfepresented him as feeling that quick and definite steps must be taken to assure industrial peace in the bituminous fields,
 With this in mind, he was re- ported as being in perfect accord with General Johnson's attitude that industry "must be stabilized in order to make a real industry of 1t again." What course of action they would adopt was not dls- closed.
 Both MT Roosevelt and Johnson were said to feaf that unless the grievances between the miners and the steel companies owning eap- tive mines were settled, particular- ly in the Pittsburg area, serious trouble would develop.
 As the result of q comprehensive survey in several states and on re- potts from other political sub-divi- sions, MT Roosevelt was prepared to spend s300,000,000 or more in the purchaseof surplus supplies for tho needy.
 After his address he will motor from tho Waldorf Astoria hotel to his speciaii train at Jersey City.

AUSTRIA PLANS SUPPRESSION OF.
 NAH ACTIVITY
Attempted Assassination of Chancellor DolIfus
 Produces Martial Tone
By ROBERT IT. BEST

vienna, Oct 4. (UP)--Ruthless suppression of Nazi activities in retaliation for the attempted assassination of Chancellor Bngel- bert polifuss was demanded to-day by government leaders.
 While Dollfuss recovered resili- ently from his wounds and planned to 50 to his office tomorrow, his would-be assassin, 22-year-old Rudolf Dertil, former army lance corporal, said:
 q wished through, my attack to attract attention to my stepfather, Dr Raimund Guenther, as the only man to assure Austria's prosper ity,"
 Guenther is an author.
 In statement to police previous E, the clean cut, rather handsome Dertil said he had not wished to kill Dollfuss but wanted to show that the diminutive chancellor was unable to take care of himself, much less the state. 2
 But 1t seemed the only effect of the shooting would be to solidlfy support of Dollfuss as head of the state and to bring fiearer--by much flrmer means--the semi- fascist state that the chancellor plans.
 Government sentiment was epitomized by Major Emil Fey, vice chancellor, at a mass meeting of the tieimwehr (home guard) troops, now aligned with Dollfuss, he said:
 we demand two things--re- venge and a proclamation of mar tial law. We are going to be hard as steel and ruthless. We are going to enforce order with an Iron hand. Mercilessly and untiringly we are going to end q situation in which any worthless agitator may open his mouth to voice his useless opinions.
 "uod has helped us to-day and shown he loves our chancellor"
 nollfuss, cared for by his wife, was resting easily at home. He had slight wounds in the arm and breast. In national broadcast from his home last night he de- scribed hls escape.
 'I wish to assure you, although as if by miracle I escaped ter ribls mischief. I feel fresh, perky. and cheerful"
 Dertii. tho attacker, left the army in May and arrived here from schladmlng September sT. His army comrades considered him q Nazi sympathizer but he was never aotlve politically.

FOREST WORKERS
MASSED BY SOVIET
Export Program Said to Be
Threatened by Timber
Transport Condition.
BY the Associated Press.

ARCHANGEL, Russia, September L.
The Communist party. alarmed at what
was termed the catastrophe condi-
ton" of timber transport which threat
ened the Soviet export program, for
the second time this year has ordered
a mass mobilization of peasants in the
northern region for work in the forests.
"A plan for transporting lumber
threatened with complete failure" read
decree of the Northern Regional party
headquarters ordering the party men,
bers and the young Communists -
marshal the collective and individual
peasants for 25 days of labor Their
work will be directed to getting the
timber out.
Shock Brigade Month.
The period from September to Sep
tenlber 25 was proclaimed as shock
brigade month" in which the man
power of the peasantry will be thrown
into the breach by the same methods
employed by the so-called Stain
march to the forests" last February.
Last February's orders directed Wom-
en- ard children tu carry on the work
in the villages while the men were
engaged In work at the lumber camps.
Peasants who refused were considered
as traitors and dealt with accordingly.
They were required to supply their own
horses and work in brigades under di-
Section of a trusted official
These methods were not detailed in
the latest party order.
One-half Of the personnel of the
Communist organization in the two dis
tricts nearest the scene of action and
two members from each rural Soviet
IN the region were given the task of
organizing the peasants into working
units and supervising their labor The
workers will be fed by the state.
Chief Secretary in Charge.
The chief secretary of the regional
Communist party will take direct
charge of the work in the fields.
'The timber is not sorted: the lum-
ber fleet works badly. With frequent
demurrage days and wrecks, factories
afe threatened with shortage of raw
materials" complained the party order.
"The party committee appeals to the
collective members, the workers and
individual peasants to fight against de-
sertions on the timber front. against
the Kulaks disorganizing the transport,
against idle workers, against losses and
to do their best to secure raw materials
for the factories for the accomplish
ment Of the timber export program"

Market Seen Waiting
On Fixed u. S. Policy

Just now we are in the midst Of
one Of these "soft pedaling" spells
when the "stabili1ation" rumor
goes around. AS Government
credit weakenS and Government
bonds crack, Professor Warren or
Mr.. Morgenthau, or someone, quits
marking up the paper dollar quo
tation for gold, and someone Sug-
gestS that maybe Stabilization Of
the dollar is near.
Then the metals and other in
flation stocks react. It may be
significant that these spells come
a little in advance of Government
refinancing periods.
At this stage in an initiation
program we are apt to get the
initial deflationary effects which
always attend such moves. Bonds
break, and that hurts many in
StitutionS. Funds fly from the
dollar, and this time do not go
into domestic equities" but flee
the country. This hurts business.
Even commodity prices were lower
last week.
Definite knowledge
So until we are told definitely
that We are going to have a real
initiation of the currency, stocks
are not likely to do much. Bluff
ing about "stabilization" may put
them a little lower. But when
the Government has handled its
December Is financing and Con-
gresS approaches, there is a good
chance that the initiation needle
will be pushed in again.
In that event the flight from
the dollar would again be into
stocks. In fact, we would be likely
to find increased restrictions on
exchange and exports of capital" I"
It is getting high time to put
up or shut up. These psychologi-
cal treatments of the dollar do
nothing but lower the foreign ex-
change rates, cause accumulationS
of American funds in England,
and hurt our Government credit.
Should Fix Basis
The Administration should
either announce its basis for re-
valuing the dollar or it's scheme
for currency expansion" or else
we are likely to see the gold buy
ing policy fizzle, with a rebound
in the dollar which would have
anything but stimulating effects.
I can see possibilities of g. three
point bulge in the market. But
whether it will have an initiation
ary or stabilizing effect Cor
which Of these would come firSt)
depends upon Mr.. Roosevelt's
policies. These I do not know.
