 Smith Says Charge False
 MT. Smiths statement on Father Coughlin's remarks follow:
 q have been asked by the press 10 comment upon the remarks of Father Coughlin with respect to me. I find no fault with Father Coughlin when he disagrees with my views concerning sound money; that is his right. I insist on the right of free speech for myself, and I would be the last one in the world to attempt to deny it to any one else.
 "The country's monetary policy is a subjest upon which there may be honest differences of opinion, as may be seen from the debates and the, statements of economists and prominent citizens on both sides of the question; but do very deeply resent any statement about me made by rather Coughlin which is not true and the charge that my position on the monetary question was in any way affected by any loan from J. P. Morgan is abso- lutely false. ''So, too. the suggestion that I borrowed money from the house of J. P. Morgan, or anybody con- nected with it, to progress con- struction of the Empire State Building or for any corporation with which I am connected, is ab- solutely false.
 "When Father Coughlin insinu- ates to his vast radio audience that I even spoke to MT. Morgan or any body connected with him about this or any other financial trans action he is stating what is ab- solutely false. have never talked with MT. Morgan on any subject except our joint service under our appointment together by the Ma yor of the city on a committee to allocate State funds for unemploy- ment relief.
 "When 8 man presumes to ad- dress so great number of listen- CTS as Father Coughlin reaches, particularly if he is a priest, he assumes the responsibility of not misleading them by false state ments or poisoning their judg-

 If was the second outbreak or mob violence in widely separated narts of the country since the ivnchnip of two white men Tor the Hart Kidnapping in California Sunday night. As in California, the mob battered jail doors with n long section of heavy pipe. The fail was virtually wrecked in the battle before Warner was surren- dered to the mob.
 Police Chief Charles Enos said today he had made no arrests and that he had no clues as to the identity of the mob leaders. Assistant Attorney General Will liam Sawyer came to St Joseph from Jefferson City, the state capi- tai, to conduct an investigation. At torney General Roy McKittrick had ordered him to investigate re- ports that the lynching was plan- ned yesterday at a luncheon at a local hotel.
 The negro was surrendered by Sheriff Otto Theisen when but one | IIlIu uOOI 1ClhdAhCu OOLWSCA GAAO prisoner and the mob.
 The bitter battle had been waged | for five hours. Defending officers had exhausted their tea gas. Theisen said he feared for the lives of 10 other negroes and 60 white prisoners confined in the jail.
 Gov Guy B. Park who had pre- viously said a lynching was 'im- possible in Missouri, tried strenu~ ously to save Warner. National | guardsmen summoned from nearby cities to reinforce the St Joseph tank company arrived too late to help.
 The governor and Attorney Gen- eral Roy McKittrick said a thor- ough investigation would be made today. St Joseph authorities, how ever, planned no action against the mob or it's leaders.
 The negro's victim, a Jewess 21 years old, is in a hospital here in a critical condition. The attack, which occurred Sunday night, be- came known after Warmers con-

tion of the church officials there.
 Acked what public reaction he had received from his Hippodrome address, Father Coughlin declared he did not know. His personal re- action, he said, had been "a good days rest" He asserted he would continue his efforts in support of the president. but when asked to outline his program. he replied: That is my secret"
 Outlining his conception of "this man, Franklin D. Roosevelt" Fa- ther Coughlin said:
 "He has, as every other man, certain characteristics which dis tinguish him. First, he has hu- mility, in the correct philosophical meaning of the word. He is not mentally proud. He is willing to listen and to learn, as he has evil denced time and again.
 "In the second place, he has what the world might call sympa- thy, but I will call charity. He has preached a doctrine against selfishness-a doctrine that looks forward to the good of the major ity. He has preached g doctrine of neighborliness which, I think, every American knows means q willingness to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

 We used every effort to urge the mob to disperse. When they started breaking down the doors, l had to make decision under stress. I believe innocent lives were saved by my decision to sur render Warner.
 Bricks were falling in my dining room, in the living room, iu the iaiI office. Everywhere glass was clattering. My wife, her mother, Mrs Hannah Flaherty, my wife's sister, Miss Nellie Flaherty, and Joe Connors, a nephew, were in the residence. Bricks were falling all about them.
 Members of the mob were pound- ing on the jail door. Presently an iron pipe was thrust through. The door gave way. and my depu- ties were in the office. We saw them coming through despite tear gas, State Militia tanks, our guns and all other hindrances. We could have opened fire, but why?

 You all know the story about how it took twenty 1rishmen to whip a Dutchman. I'm not going into that now because there arc more than twenty Irish in this crowd and Dutchman knows when he is whipped"
 I told them was going to give them Warner. I went back into the jail. I unlocked Warmers cell and took him to the door and turned him over to the mob.s II wasn't long before the mob had the poor negro hustled off to a nearby tree. saw them light the body that was all could stand.

 train which had left Wollaston sta- ton at S:19 a. m. telescoped the rear coach of a passenger train which had left Norfolk Downs at 8:15 a. m. and which was stopped at Atlantic station.
 Scores of persons on both trains were jolted from their seats at the terrific impact. which was followed by derailment of the locomotive of the moving train and several coaches of both trains.
 Trapped in his cab, the engineer of that locomotive lost one leg and was feared near death at a hos pital.
 Due to the steel construction of the cars, no fire followed the crash. But passengers, tossed about as the derailed coaches bumped along the roadbed, were showered by schat- tered glass, and many were bumped and bruised.
 Shrieks and means of the injured spurred rescue work. A general alarm brought ambulances, doctors and nurses to the scene within Q few minutes after the wreck.
 So great was the impact as the locomotive ploughed into the rear coach of the motionless train that the engine was showed backward, also telescoping the first car of its own train.
 Most of those hurt were passen- gers in the last car of the stalled train or the first car of the moving train.
 As the victims were extricated from the wrecked coaches, they were laid out along the roadbed pending first-aid treatment. As soon as means of transportation were available, they were taken to hospitals or doctors offices. New Haven railroad officials said they had no idea as to what caused the accident. On regular schedule, however,, the two trains which were involved run only few min- utes apart.
 The heavy south shore commuter traffic was delayed by the wreck. Each of the trains involved con- i sisted of six cars, all filled with | commuters enroute to Boston offices and stores.
 The Neponset drawbridge, over which the trains would have passed enroute to Boston, had been opened to allow schooner to pass through, and the forward train was waiting for the span to open. The second train apparently missed a signal.

 Calling for eradication of the spirit of speculation from com mercial banking, Aldrich said the testimony before the committee and his experience as a bank of- ficial convinced him many of the banking abuses had arisen from failure to distinguish the fact that commercial and investment banking are essentially different.
 Aldrich complained that the Glass-Steagall bill does not ade- quately prevent interlocking man. agement between investment and commercial banks nor prevent such inter-connection between com mercial banks which are not char tered under the National Bank act.
 He outlined half a dozen methods by which the regulations of the bill could be avoided. He said the purpose of the act could be avoided under terms of the Glass Steagall bill itself and the Clayton act and proposed that both be changed.

 Baltimore, Md, Nov 29.-(UP)-| Warden Martin of the Baltimore city fail, travelling alone, planned to return to southern Maryland to- day the four alleged lynching sus- poets who were seized yesterday by state militia and brought here after a battle with 5000 citizens at Salisbury, Md.
 A writ of habeas corpus requir- ing two of the suspects to be pro- duced in court in Princess Anne, scene of the lynching six weeks ago, was handed to the warden early today. Writs for the other two were expected later this morn ing.
 Warden Martin indicated he would leave for Princess Anne as soon as the new writ was received. He said he planned to take no state troopers or other guards with him. Attorney General Preston Lane in Annapolis said he would not go to Princess Anne to contest the habeas corpus proceedings and so l far as could be learned no arrange ments were made to present the states evidence against the four. Sheriff Luther Daugherty of Somerset county arrived at the Baltimore city jail at 2 a. m., and filed copies of writs requiring two of the prisoners to be produced before Judge Robert F. Duer in Princess Anne at D. m.
 The writs were issued for Will liam H. Thompson, Q druggist and Irving Atkins, a special police of- | ficer, both of Princess Anne, where they were alleged by the state to have participated in the lynching six weeks ago of George Armwood, 28-year-old negro, who confessed attacking an aged white woman.
 The writ originally required the two to be brought before Judge Duer at a. m. Gov. Albert c. Ritchie in Annapolis obtained a postponement in order to allow time to work out plans for guard ing the prisoners on their return into the eastern shore counties where 300 national guardsmen and state police battled yesterday with Salisbury citizens who sought to liberate the suspects.
 It was considered likely that the 1 WrlLS WOulQ pc eXCenQcu to lncluQc the other two prisoners, William P. Hern, of Shad Point and Will liam s. McQuay of Pocomoke City.
 Governor Ritchie in formal statement explaining his reasons for sending militia to arrest the participants pointed out that Brig Gen M. A. Reckord, adjutant of the Maryland national guard, had planned to take tho men before a magistrate in Somerset county yes terday.
 "But the temper of the crowd was such that General Reckord considered this action unwise, and for that reason the men were brought to Baltimore and not given a hearing in their own county ' the governor said.
 Sheriff Daugherty immediately after delivering the writs to the city jail here started back for Princess Anne without waiting to accompany the prisoners.

Green Tells $4,000
Steel Strikers to
Quit Without Union
NRALabor BoardGives
Steel Bosses Weapon
to Smash Strike

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - The
Weirton Steel Co. was granted its
first demand yesterday against the
$4,000 strikers by the N. R. A. and
the A. F. of l.. officials on the Ma
tional Labor Board-that the strikers
return to work Immediately without
union recognition.
The strike started when workers
found their wages cut, and rapidly
spread to three cities where the Weir
ton Steel Co. has plants. 1t was the
first shutdown in 20 years.
Ernest T. Weir, chairman Of the
board of the steel company, declared
he was living up to the full letter Of
the steel code and refused union rec
ignition.
The leadership Of the strike is in
the hands of A. F. of L. officials of
the Amalgamated Association Of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. The
leaders urged the men to refrain
from picketing, which permitted
scabs to be run into the plant. Later,
the workers rejected this order, and
frequently clashed with state troopers
protecting scabs.
Yesterday evening, after secret
meetings between the steel bosses
and the National Labor Board prom
inent on which were William Green
and John l.. Lewis, active in breaking
the miners strike, set of proposals
agreeable to Mr. Weir we're worked
out and approved by William J. Long,
president of the Weir Cove Lodge
of the A. a.
The proposals are: ID Strike to
end Immediately. without union rec
ignition; % no discrimination against
strikers; 90 an election of workers
representatives in tn esecond week in
December; "a N. r. A. section Ia TO
apply on collective bargaining; "a no
strikes, but submission of disputes to
the N. r. A.
The workers have not yet been
given an opportunity to vote on the
proposals.
