 Some on Politics

 Tunney, now something of a politician, said he favored Joseph Mckee for mayor of New York but believed the Sunday night speech of President Roosevelt favored Fiorello La Guardia.

STRIKE AT |BROCKTON
 IS WORSE
Mayor of That City Says
 Leading Shoe Concern Violates Code
PRESIDENT HAS
 BEEN NOTIFIED
National Labor Board Has Been Asked to Come
 to the Scene

Broekton. Mass, October 24 - (UP) - The Mayor of Broekton. in telegram to President Roose- welt today. charged that the w. L. Douglas shoe company of this city is operating in direct violation of the NRA. and asked that the National Labor Board be ordered to investigate the situation.
 The telegram was dispatched a few hours after a motoreade of breakers had been waylaid, reportedly by strikers and sympa- thizers, and showered with rocks, and a strike breaker had fired two ineffective revolver shots.
 At his office in Boston, President Joseph Bartlett of the Douglas Co denied that the firm was violating the code and defended its action in doing business with the old-es- tablished Boot & Shoe Workers Union. Fifteen other Brockton shoe plants involved in a recent strike have recognized the com paratively new brotherhood of Shoe and Allied Craftsmen.
 The Douglas company, Brock tons largest shoe plant. normally employees 1,500 operatives but now, due to labor troubles, it is employ ing only 300 to 500.
 Mayor Horace c. Bakers tele- gram to President Roosevelt read:
 ITO my mind the w. L. Douglas company of thiS city Is operating in direct violation of the national recovery act. 1 am appealing to you directly in the interest of BrocSton's shoe workers who are suffering because of this violation. Thus far there has been no disor- der. All other shoe manufac- turers are complying with the act. I feel that a direct order from you to the national labor board to investigate the situation will lead to an early solution"
 Commenting on the mayors tele. gram, President Bartlett said:
 q know of no code violations or Our pdEt. W0 dTG 0Di0AhS " 0i the laws that we know of. WV are obligated by contract to con tinue doing business with the Boo | and Shoe Workers Union. Th' question of what we were doint was presented to the national la tbor board sometime ago and hear ings were held.s They have made no decision as yet, nor has anyone officially criticized our position"

JAKE THE BARBER CALLED TO GIVE
 SOME EVIDENCE
Senate Racket Investigate ing Committee Got Him
 to Tell Kidnap Story

Chicago, oct 24.--(UP)--Jo (Jake the Barber) Factor, erst- while British promoter, was called by the, senate racket Investigating subcommittee today to give a first hand story on how 1t feels to be kt1naped.
 Factor unfolded graphic story of the hours he spent in the hands of kidnapers. He was subjected to beatings, he said. and threatened with torture by fire.
 Closer government cooperation in dealing with Kidnapping cases was recommended by Factor. who said his own experience led to the belief that the ,gangsters held local authorities in contempt but had re . spect for the federal department of Investigation.
 "once I asked them to mall Q letter to my wife, lIe saids but they refused because they didn't want to get mixed up with the gov ernment. They never stop, once they start working on easel" he quoted his captors as saying.
 Factor, who rose from Halsted street barber to confident of the Prlnce of Wales, was called before the committee of U. s. senators as an interlude in the long parade of police and law-enforcing officers.
 The com niittec had heard dozens of suggestions regarding methods of putting a halt to tho kidnaping racket and now was prepared to hear the first person story of an actual victim of the newest and most lucrative racket of the gangs.
 Factor was kidnaped last spring and held for $50.000 ransom. He himself is not entirely out of the hands of the law as the British government has been seeking in- effectively to obtain his, return to that nation to face charges of bilkipg investors of several million dollars.

FRANCE AGAIN IN MUCH TROUBLE
 OVER CABINET
Premier and His Official Family Forced to Re-
 sign Early To-day
. BY RALPH H. .HEINzEN

(Unted Press Stan Correspondcnt)
 Paris, oct. 24-- Albert Lebrun consulted political leaders at the Elysee palace today seeking a premier capable of guid- ing France through one of the m ost portentous phases of her re- cent history.
 A strong government, sure of an adequate majority to force through parliament a rigorous economy program and pursue q firm diplo- matic policy in view of the disarm- ament crisis and Germany's de- mand for armament equality. was regarded as urgently necessary.
 Edopard Daladier. radical so- cialist premier who had headed the government, since January 31, re- signed at 3:30 a. m. today after a defeat 329 to 241 in he chamber of deputies on his proposal to cut civil service pay between 3 and g per cent in order to balance the budget.
 To replace his government Leb- run sought coalition cabinet, if possible composed of the center parties with representation from the moderate left wing groups.
 The president first called into conference Jules Jeanneney, presi- dent of the senate, and Ferdinand Bouisson, president of the cham Der.
 He was understood to have told them that prompt solution of the political problem was vital because of danger to the currency if foreign spectators attack the franc be- cause of the budget deficit.
 Lebrun hoped he would be able to get either Albert Sarraut. n left democrat and minister of marine in Daladiers cabinet, or Camille Coautemps, radical socialist and Daladiers minister of interior, to form a coalition or concentration cabinet.
