AMBASSADOR TO GERMANY MEETS
 WITH PROTEST
Newspaper "Der Tag" Did Not Like Speech of
 Wm E. DOdd

Berlin. Oct IS. (UP)-The news paper Der Tag to-day criticised American Ambassador William E. Dodd to referring to half edu- cated statesmen" in a speech att tacking econmoic nationalism.
 Like Dodds speech. the news paper was not specific in It's re- marks and did not say at whom 1t thought the ref, 'ce might be aimed.
 But Der Tag < ted that a concise explanation the mean ing of the phrase might be expect imagine that Washington is par ticularly pleased at this phrase of its representative.'
 Der Tag Is owned by pr Alfred Hugenberg, leader of the dissolved nationalist party, was forced re- gently to resign from the NaZi of commerce.
 Dodd, in his speech, made before the American Chamber of Com merce yesterday-in the capital of highly nationalist Nazi Germany said that the half-educated states men of to-day swung violently away from the ideal purposes of democracy and thought to find sal- vation in arbitrary modes of autoc- racy. It would be no sin, he said, statesmen learned from history that no system, implying the con trol of society by privilege seekers ever had ended in any way but collapse.
 Berlin, Oct IS. (UP)-Ambas- sador William F. Dodd's scheduled appointment with Chancellor Adolf Hitler, at winch he was to make representations concerning Nazi outfages against American citi- zens was postponed to-day.

 Geneva - (UP)-A joint United States-League plan for a fiVe-year white dictatorship over Liberla' tiny Negro republic founded by freed American slaves on the west coast of Africa, now is before the I,iberian Legislature in MonroVla for adoption or rejection.
 If Liberia rejects the plan, she will fail to get any interest reduc- tions on her loans from the liar vev Firestone rubber interests ana tho promised assistance Of the league in the economic, financial educational and medical rehablll- tation of her country. Adoption of the plan means submis- sion 10 the dictates of an interna- tional white commission for i've years. Al,
 The League of Nations, the United States government and the Firestonc interests prepared tho "new deal' for Liberia in the form of a national reconstruction program under league supervis- ion, In return for Liberia's ap- proval of the plan the Firestone interests promise to reduce rom seven to five per cent the interest charges on a loan of $2,50O, 00o granted to Liberia in 1926.
 This loan was extended atter Firestone obtained a 99-year lease on 1,000,000 acres of land, ol which 53,000 acres are now under cultivation, for development of rubber plantations designed to free the United states from Brit ish and Dutch control Of the worlds rubber production.

the leagues program of assist ance to Liberia.
 Under the plan the league would send to Liberia for five years a staff of nine foreign ex- perts in administration, educa- tion, medicine, law, and finance to help the Liberian government to it's feet. The Chief Adviser, or chairman, of the international commission would have absolute authority in Liberia subject only to the veto of the league council.
 American interests, including the government, Firestone and various religious and educational societies spending about $25O,OOO yearly in Liberia, are insistent that the league name an Ameri can as Chief Adviser. But Liberia, partially inspired by British and Dutch rubber interests and fright. end of further American control of Liberian affairs, does not want an American and is holding out for a neutral.
 Under the 1926 loan contract Liberia already has an American financial adviser appointed by Washington. Liberians argue Il would be unjust to overload the administration of Liberian affairs with Americans. On the other thand, American interests, and es' pecially Firestone, hold that be- cause of Amerlca's traditiona! sympathy with Liberia ano money invested there, it only i' logical that the proposed plan ol assistance should be administered by an American.

NATIONAL LABOR BOARD FACING
 ITS FIRST TEST
Kentucky Coal Operators Have Been Ordered to
 Answer Charges
BY JULIUS FRANDSEN Limited Press Staff CorreSpOndenO

Washington, October l3-(UP) -- The national labor board, facing it's first case of open defiance by employers. today prepared to com. mand nine western Kentucky coal operators to appear before 1t ana answer the complaints Of unloh miners.
 The operators ignored q sum- mons to q hearing yesterday on charges that they had discharged 400 employees for joining the United Mine Workers of America and had refused to deal with workers who did not join a company union.
 The operators action brought an initial test of the powers of the agency set up by President Roose- welt to adjust labor disputes pend ing establishment of permanent arbitration machinery under NRA codes. Outcome of the Kentucky case, 1t was believed, will set a precedent which will define the scope of the boards authority.
 Chairman Robert r. Wagner said the board was backed by all ; the power of the Recovery Act which provides for injunction pro- cedings, fines and other sanctions against violators of the law.
 While the labor board wrostled with the Kentucky coal dispute, administration officials were hope ful that the agreement of steel companies to modified "check off" system under which they would collect union ues from union members in captive mines would bring an end to the long : sstrlko in Pennsylvania fields. , They were cautious in their comments, however, as 1t appeared further negotiations would be nec- essary between Thomas II. Moses, President of the II. C. Prick Coke Company. who has been represent ing the captive mine owners 'n conferences with Philip Murray, vice. president of the United Mine Workers. It was uncertain also whether the "check off" would satisiy insurgent union strikers who have ben demanding that the Prick Company sign a direct wage contract with the union.
 The Wolrton (W. Na) Steel Company rejected Il recommenda- ton by the board that 1t take back all strikers without discrimination and submit disputes to the board. Strike leaders informed the board the men would return to work If | the company agreed to let the j. board mediate. But President Earnest r. Weir. Jr, replied that he would not consider arbitration until after tho strikers returned The board expected to consider to- day It's next move in this case.

BUSINESS WAS
 IRREGULAR FOR
 THE PAST WEEK
But New England Was Inc clined to Hold Most
 of Its Gains

Boston, Oct IS -, (U.P.)-Bus& mess conditions in New England during the past week were some- what irregular, but inclined to hold most of the recent gains, accord ing to the Weekly Trade Review issued to-day by Dun and Brad street, Inc.
 "Labor has been inclined to set- tie it's difficulties" the Review said, land in the shoe trade. par ticularly, large, numbers have re- turned to work. In most lines of industry the rapid advances made during August have ceased, but, as a rule, the gains made at that per- iod have been held and there Is a growing feeling that the pause will be of short duration.
 "The woolen mills continue op- erating at high rate. with many sold to full capacity and in the mems wear division are at present declining to take new orders. Local clothing manufacturers continue quite active and the demand for meh's clothing at retail thus far has been fairly good.
 "In the goods market. women's wear has been moving slowly dur ing the week. Locally, the cloak and suit manufacturers are busy and there has been a good call for women's dresses. In these lines. the effect of the higher prices neces- sary still is to be tested on the ul-- innate consumer. The wool market | during the week was quiet, With scattered activity on all grades.
 "Cotton goods prices have not altered materially during the week, although there is firm undertone to the market. The mills continue actively engaged. with tendency to speed up operations slightly, but the sale of finished goods during the week has been moderate. Cur rent yarns sales during the week have not been large although in- quiries appear to be increasing.

The Railway Age has publish

For the first time, in magazine
form. all editorial content and
most of the advertising is devot
ed to presenting the facts con
corning an economic problem of
the first Importance.
The facts and figures in this
edition show vividly that q fair
deal for the railroads is essential
to the public welfare. But what
is q fair deal? 1t is simple
enough. Broadly, it entails the
following action, says Railway

The legalization of q transport

same principles.
The elimination of government
subsidies for Any carrier.
Equitable taxation of every
carrier.
No special favors for any car.

If we continue to allow com
mercial motor transport to ply the
tax built highways, unregulated
or half regulated; If we continue
to put up millions of dollars for
the operation of waterways; if
we donate other millions to sub
sidize competitive air mail and
steamship lines. the railroads
are headed for ruin and nothing
will stop it. When that happens,
a real business cataclysm will
have arrived. Every worker,
every investor, every executive,
every home owner, every farmer,
even every political job-holder
will feel the result. The rail.
roads are the greatest single in
dustry we have-and their fail

HOW ARIZONA FARMERS LOSE
$4,000, 900 ANNUALLY

r. The Arizona Trade Develop

Phoenix. L. G. Mccullough be.
ing secretary manager, is cir.
cular of information released to
members of that organization,
dated January II. tells how Ari
zona farmers are losing $4,000
600 annually because of the It'll
nerant- merchant trucker. This
information seys:
Arizona raises a large varity
of fruits and produce. but due
to conflict with other seasons of
productions. the home markets
are demoralized by wholesale
dumping from other states.
Strict adherance to home pat
ronsge among our retailers and
consumers would release to our
producers more than 81, 600. 900
which is now lost to the state
because of lack of support for
this industry of cur own people.
And this $4,OOO.OOO would rep
resent a much larger sum if it
could be confined to home chan
nels Of trade
This is telling arraignment of
the itinerant- merchant trucker
menace which ia sapping the
very life blood out Of the farm
ers of Arizona. 1t means, &C
cording to the calculations of the
Arizona Trade Developers. that
the raisers of the farm products
are losing 100000 annually TO
the itinerant merchant truckers.
And it is certain that if these
itinerant- merchant truckers had
not imported these products
vegeta bles, poultry, eggs, fruit,
etc. - then Arizona farmers
would not lose that 81 900, 600
annually.
The remedy is for the legisla
ture to curb this costly menace
to the farmers-before the far
mers lose their land under mort
gage foreclosures.
