NRA WINS TRUCE.
IN DRESS WAR

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 G.N.S).
The strike of 10000 dress work.
ers virtually ended at 1 p. m. to-
day when employers voted with a
cheer to adopt collective bargain
ing agreements.
BY this action, sweatshop
wages and hours of work were
swept out of existence.
It was unionism's greatest VIC
tory in the history of the gar
ment industry.
Grover A. Whalen, mediator
for the National Recovery Ad-
ministration, was given full credit
for the agreement.
After a conference between
labor and employer factions at
NRA headquarters, which lasted
until o'clock this morning, no
one expected him to appear at
the meeting of the National Dress
Manufacturers Association a +
noon.
But promptly at noon. Whalen
made a dramatic entrance and
took over command of the situa-
ton. The association members,
numbering about 400 and all of
them open shop jobbers who were
out of sympathy with the union,
seemed unable to reach an agree
ment.
Whalen made brief but sting
ing address, in which he insisted
that collective bargaining was the
heart of the NRA movement. He
cautioned the jobbers that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mrs. Roose-
velt were watching the dress
strike, that the President would
invoke the licensing provisions
of the National Recovery Act if
necessary and that affiliation with
unions would be a strong bulwark
against Communism.

The Federal Government has
made good in its declaration Of
war against kidnapers.

naping aroused the nation and
brought government forces into
action against the snatch
racket" there have been 13 major
abductions.
And arrests have been made in
each Of the 13 cases, a survey dis
closed today.
The government agents have
worked behind the scenes quietly
and efficiently, cooperating with
local or State authorities. In
many cases, the part played by
the Federal sleuths was not made
public.
The capture of Harvey Bailey
and four others in Texas, charged
with the kidnapping of Charles F.
Urschel, multi-millionaire Okla
homa oil man, marked the
invasion of the southwestern
"badlands" by an army If 100
Federal agents.
When Senator Royal S. Cope
lands subcommittee on racketeer-
ing reports it's findings to Con-
