Danubians "InVent"

GENEVA, Oct. 18 G.N.SJ.-1t
used to be said before the war
that if it were not for the exist
ence Of the Austro- Hungarian En-
pire, it would have to be invented.
That is exactly what is happen
ing now. After is years without
an Austro- Hungarian Empire, the
people Of the impoverished
Danube are inventing one.
The thought they could get
along separately, each in his own
way, but they have finally been
forced to admit that they cannot
do it. Slowly and still rather
against their will they are recon
structing a union of the states Of
southeastern Europe, including
the territory which used to belong
to the Hapsburgs and some more
besides.
One Corner Missing
There is just one corner miss
ing, now a part Of Italy. But it
must be reckoned with, too, be-
cause it contains the former Aus
trian port, Trieste. The posses
sion, moreover, Of Trieste gives
Italy a stake in the game.
Mussolini is taking, and Is be-
ing conceded, a special interest in
southeastern Europe. Mussolini
considers it his right as the head
of the principal neighbor state.
The other big powers are letting
him have pretty much his own
way.
Little Entente Acts
It took the return Of dictatorial
power in Germany to bring the
Danube to its economic senses.
The Little Entente acted first. BY
agreeing to form one state so far
as foreign policies were concerned
they opened the way for Danu'
bian economic peace.
They formed a political bloc to
protect what they consider their
most vital interest, the frontiers
they made for themselves at the
end Of the World War or were
given by the peace treaties.

With Men Who Quit; Word
From Dearborn Awaited
BY International News Service

ny AnteFHdtlOHh1 Nc"B SeENACO
Despite statements from Dear
born that the Ford Motor Com
pany will not meet with repre-
sentatives of strikers, Superin-
tendent Brown and w. E. Moak,
Of the Ford assembly plant at
EdgeWater, N. j., were in session
today with representatives Of
strikers and an NRA Labor Board
representative in the NRA head
quarters in Newark.
This was announced by Senator
Robert F. Wagner, Of New York,
chairman of the Labor Board.
Wait Word From Ford
He said that his representative,
Gordon Wagenet, had telephoned
that Brown and .Moak doubted
their authority to continue nego-
tiations, but were going to stay
in the meeting pending further in
formation from Dearborn.
Wagner Asked Hearing
Senator Wagner said:
81 began arrangements for a
meeting to settle the strike at
FOrd's Edgewater and Chester
plants on October IA, telegraph
ing Dearborn to that effect and
suggesting a hearing on dis
elimination against employees"
Wagner then made public the
full text of the Ford Company'S
reply to his invitation. The tele-
gram, addressed to Senator Wag-
ner and the board, read:
Replying to your telegram
Of Saturday, October IA, and
delivered here Saturday after
noon. While this company is
advised by counsel that it is
under no obligation to attend
hearings in the matter under
consideration, yet this company
takes pleasure in advising your
committee that it is not and
never has been our practice to
discriminate against any appli-
cant for appointment on the
ground of his affiliatiOn with
labor unions or otherwise.
UNFAIRNESS DENIED
"Such being the fact, this
company does not believe any
discrimination against any
member of labor union has
been practiced. Nor has this
company refused to meet any
authorized representative of its
employees. 1t is impossible for
this company specifically to
answer charges when. there is
no specification of time, names,
and facts.
eff you will furnish such
Specifications this company
will make an investigation and
If it is found that such dis
elimination that you describe
has been practiced by subOr-
dinate it will be corrected. This
company, while reServing its
full constitutional rights in the
matter, desires to give your
committee any reasonable in
formation"
(Signed) Ford Motor Co.,
Dearborn, Mich,
The apparent confusion over
the intention of Ford officials to
meet with representatives of their
employees under the auspices of
the National Labor Board was
caused by a misunderstanding
over the word "employes, it was
said today at NRA headquarters.
Strikers Not "EmplOyes"
Apparently the Ford company
did not consider workers on
strike at it's assembly plant at
Chester, Pa, and Edgewater,
N. j., as employees"
The National Labor Board, how
ever, ruled several days ago that
it would consider all strikers as
"employes'' of a company, no mat
ter how long they had been out,
just so they had not interrupted
their strike by returning to work.

CONVICT
Printing Bill Vetoed By
Governor Ferguson

Galveston, Texas.-Gov Miriam
Ferguson vetoed the bill which pro-
vided that the State Board of Con-
troll could contact with the Prison
Board to have the state printing
done in the Huntsville penitentiary.
Organized labor fought the bill
throughout the entire session of the
Legislature, but the reactionary inter-
ests persisted in jamming it through
both houses. Labor circles believed
the measure was the forerunner of
others to bring about complete indus
trialization of the prison system.
Last year the Board of Control ar
bitrarily attempted to have state
printing done at the penitentiary, but
were halted by an injunction secured
by the Texas State Allied Printing
Trades Council.
Governor Ferguson based her veto
on Section q of Article XVI Of the
state constitution which provides that
state printing, with few minor ex-
ceptions, shall be done under contract
given to the lowest responsible bid
der. She said the constitution could
not be repealed by legislative fat

went down.
The value of steel, coal, wages and
other essentials went up
As measured in dollars.
They were just as good dollars
But the dollars would not buy as
much.
Figure it out for yourself.
Anyhow, the supreme court almost
sobbed in sympathy with the public
utility corporations.
They said it would amount to con-
fiscation of their property
To make them render service at the
contract prices
Contracts made in a free country
under no compulsion.
Mind you
Now comes a widow up in Mime
sofa, who owes mortgage.
She is asking court to reduce the
amount of the mortgage.
Her claim is that the values of
things have changed So
That she cannot get as many dol
lars for bushel of wheat now
That her debt was contracted when
she could get So for one bushel.
And that now it takes from two
to five bushels of wheat to buy a
dollar.
She is barking back to that su-
preme court decision.
She claims she does not owe the
number of dollars set forth in her
mortgage.
Now, that is just too bad
Because: the lady is poaching on
the preserves of Mr.. Morgan!
Will she be told where to get off
at?
She willard a-plenty!
The sacredness of all contracts
must be preserved
Unless you are a member of the
Morgan private bank partnership
1t all depends upon whose gull is
being bored!

STRIKE CALL
OF Hosiery Workers RevOk-
ed on Pledge of Getting
Square Deal

Philadelphia (1LNS)-The f1rst Ia
Dor crisis under the industrial recov-
cry act has resulted in q pledge to
withdraw measures taken by employ
ers to prevent workers from union
izing. Because this case was the flrst
in which Section IA of the new law
was invoked, it is regarded as of real
Importance.
An appeal by Secretary OF Labor
Perkins a general strike OF lU,UUO
workers in 48 non-union hosiery mills
of Philadelphia, was postponed by
the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers which
had issued the strike call. The non
union manufacturers agreed to cease
active opposition to unionization OF
their employees.
Miss Perkins wired William Smith,
secretary treasurer of the union, as
follows:
II understand that Full Fashioned
Hosiery Workers Union has called
general strike of workers in this in
dustry effective Thursday morning,
June 22 (stop) Under administration
of federal recovery act negotiations
for establishment of minimum wage
and maximum hours of work and la
| Dor code are now proceeding between
| the full fashioned hosiery manufac-
! turers' association and the Full Fash
ioned Hosiery Workers Union (stop)
| In public interest and that OF both
employers and workers it would seem
sound policy to suspend this general
strike action during the period OF
these negotiations in the hope that
| both parties can arrive at amicable
settlement of their difficulties (stop)
| | am informed by DR.. Leo Wolman
chairman advisory committee of in
dustrial recovery administration that
| the Manufacturers Association has
agreed in return for this truce tC
| instruct its members to refrain from
any measures designed to prevent
their workers from joining the union
and from taking steps to weaken the
organization of labor (stop) In view
of this understanding strongly urge
upon your organization the withdraw
al of your general strike order SO
| that both the union and the Manufac-
turers Association may proceed with
friendly discussion of their differ
ences."
! Following a conference between
South and Alexander McKeown, pres
ident Of the Philadelphia branch of
the union, the following reply was
sent Miss Perkins:
"The Philadelphia Union has ac-
cepted suggestion of Secretary Per-
kins and is postponing the strike un-
til such time as the code of practice
pertaining to labor has been adopted
we strongly urge your department
to begin an immediate investigation
of the comparative conditions which
led up to this general strike call.
Indications already point to the fact
that Constantine does not speak for
the Manufacturers Association mem
bers (stop) We have entered into this
truce in good faith and are hoping
that the dispute at issue will be an
immediate subject for your depart
ment"
The Constantine referred to is
director of the National Association
of Hosiery Manufacturers.
