No NECESSITY
FOR LOCKOUTS
Or STRIKES
Labor Secretary Asserts U. S.
Already Has Machinery to
Settle Disputes

FLINT. Mich, Oct. 16 G.N.SO.
There is minority in this coun-
try in both industry and labor
that is threatening the whole
prosperity program, Assistant
Secretary of Labor Edward F..
McGrady charged today in ad-
dressing the Democratic Club of
Genesee County. He said:
-. 'Tt is the 10 per cent of
$. recalcitrants that is holding
back the quick march on the
road to prosperity"
McGrady said there is no need
for employers to lock their
workers out in any dispute and
there is equally no need on the
part of the workers to strike
to rectify any wrong.
"Whatever differences, what
ever misunderstanding there
are, all of them can be set
tied without aggressive action
on either Side," he added.
This can be done by appealing
to the local boards and if not
satisfied, an appeal can be taken
to the National Labor Board in
Washington.
IF either side would prefer
not to have their cases heard To-
cally, we have the national ma
ehinery already set up and in mo-
ton to hear these disputes and we
will try to compose the differences
through mediation, but, if neceS-
Sary, we are prepared to render
decisions" he asserted.
'"The right of individuals to
cease work cannot be denied them
and as a labor leader for more
than 80 years, would not deny
any man or group the right after
all other efforts have failed to
stop work. But there is this
difference today. We are at war
and no man, either employer or
worker, should take the law into
his own hands. Both of them
can secure justice from their
Government.
Labor must remember that
under the recovery act it has
been given a charter Of rights
IL never had before. COnSe-
quently, labor must recognize
its responsibilities and assume
them.
"Pay little heed to those who
are attempting to discredit the
recovery act. Their predictions
Of failure and their unjuStified
criticism places them in the
same category as the copper
heads of our revolutionary days.
Look upon these people with
suspicion; they may have self.
iSh and partisan motives" {.

AUBURN, Ind, Oct. 16
U.N.SO.-Police of three States
were searching today for two
men identified as escaped con-
victs who held up the police
station here yesterday, locked
two policemen in a cell, and
made off with the police arse

One of the bandits was iden-
titled as Walter Dietrich, 27-
year-old st. Louis bad man,
who escaped from the Indiana
State prison at Michigan City

Patrolmen Fred Kruger and
Henry West, both Of whom
identified Dietrich, were sitting
in the city hall police head

the two robbers entered. The
bandits covered the two police
men with revolvers and locked
them in a cell. They then re-

Various Methods Used by

eral income tax law, through
which the Government lost mil
lions of dollars of revenue in re-
cent years, it was learned today
from members of the Senate COM
mittee investigating Wall Street.
The loopholes were disclosed
during the Senate's stock market
inquiry, which delved into the in
come tax returns Of Wall Streets
private bankers. The inquiry re-
vealed that some of the nations
richest private bankers either
avoided entirely or paid but nomi-
nal Federal income taxes since
the great crash of October, 1929,
despite gross profits running into
millions Of dollars.
Ferdinand Pecora, the Senate's
special counsel, barred these tax
lodging schemes in order to fur
niSh information on which to base
a revision of the income tax law.
Members of the investigating
committee were determined to
prohibit a number of pure tax
lodging schemes, worked out by
clever lawyers, to evade the law.
These were used by partners in
the great banking firms. AS re-
vealed by the inquiry, a few Of
the schemes were:
j. p. Morgan escaped Federal
taxes in 1880, 1881 and 1882. He
charged off depreciation in his
stock investments against his
great income. This was permis-
sible under the capital gain and
loss provisions of the law.
Otto Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb d
Co., also escaped income taxes by
the same provision. Clarence Dill
lon, head Of Dillon, Read & Co.,
did pay income taxes, but his pay
ments were only nominal.

RABBI GREEN

His father died from the effects
of imprisonment by the Reds after
the downfall of the Car. He him
self still suffers from rheumatism
brought on by exposure during the
hectic Russian Revolution.
But if it had not been for that
exposure, occasioned when he fled
with one foot bare through half a
mile of wintry SHOWS to escape Ger
tain death, one of WaShington'S
religious groups would not have its
present spiritual leader.
He is Rabbi Zemach Green, of
the Ohev Sholom congregation.
Lived in Ukraine
It was in 1919 that Rabbi Green
and his family learned Of the hor-
rorS of revolution. He was then
19 years old. His father, Rabbi
Solomon Isaac Green; his mother,
two brothers and two sisters were
living in the little town of Sunni,
near Kharkov, in the Ukraine.
The Whites, Standard-bearerS Of
the fading Czarist regime, dis
puted continually with the Reds
for possession of the town. First
one group Of soldiers occupied the
place, then another. Marauding
bands of raiders swept through.
leaving desolation behind.
Fearing reprisal by the Whites,
the Reds at one point seized re-
ligious leaders and prominent citi-
zens of the village, holding them
as hostages. Rabbi Green's father
was among the group. After two
weeks they were released, but
within two days his father died, a
victim of privations suffered dur
ing the imprisonment.
Born in Russia
Shortly before this, two Of a
party of bandits that had raided
the village forced their way into
his home at a time when he was
dressing. To escape, he was forced
to Jump through a window with
but one shoe, and race across a
half mile of snow to safety. Per
manent rheumatism resulted.
Later his family fled to Lithua-
mia, where they lived peacefully
for five years.
Rabbi Green is a descendant Of
many famous rabbiS. He was born
in Ukmergy, Russia, in 1900, and

Serious preparations for war are
inevitable as a result of Germany'B

newspapers declared today.
Stating that the Treaty Of Ver-

said, will sharpen the imperialistic

While no definite decisions will

Cabinet probably would decide to

had it been sent after this event
it doubtless would have been
worded somewhat differently. He
added:
81 see no reason, however, to
suggest that the message be re-
called because, while Germany's
action may alter the situation
and make the task more diff
cult, solution of the disarma-

of such vital importance that
every effort should be made to
achieve it.

PASSION AGAINST WAR
Arthur Henderson, president OF
the conference, in an address be-
fore delegations to the world peace
organization, declared:
ut cost 100000 dead and
10000, 900 wounded to bring the
league into being.
''It won't break peace with
the dead. 1t won't suffer hope
and peace to be killed. 1t won't
let the world be plunged into the
barbariSm of another war"
Henderson's address was meant
as an answer to Germany'S with
drawal. But it failed to place
blame entirely on Germany. He
said:
"The world situation is grave
precisely because the govern
ments delayed too long to re-
duce ornaments.
Gas long as nations are free
to arm and use arms as they
see fit, wars are inevitable"

He insisted the conference was
already bound to an effective
reduction and abolition Of often
sive arms and said that for this
reason the world possesses the
beginning of a collective peace
system based on the League cove
nant and the Briand-Kellogg
Pact.
The government which rejects
this is encouraging its citizens
to regard war as inevitable, he
declared, asserting that inter

tries are identical with those who
believe war inevitable.

Tail FlOated Away
A fractured arm prevented his

his story, Wiseman said. He
explained:
"The plane was flying about

place, were quoted as saying that
nitroglycerin was the probable
cause Of the explosion.

edy. Officials of the airlineS

ment was backed by laboratory

on the nature of the explosive,
