Law, Fearing Disorders
In Fayette County

UNIONTOWN, Pa, July 20
(I.N.S. ).-Martial law was de-
clared today by Gov. Clifford
Pinchot in the strife-torn coal
fields Of Fayette county.
The proclamation followed o
night of telegraphic exchanges
between the governor and Sheriff
Harry E. Hackney, Of Fayette
county, in which the chief execu-
tive demanded the sheriff remove
his deputies and permit State
troopers to patrol the strike areas
and the sheriff refused.

Infantry were ordered to Union
town from Mt. Gretna.
More than 800 guardsmen,
equipped with machine guns,
rifles, chemical weapons and field
packs, were en- route by auto
and train for the strike area.
Sheriff's deputies were still In
charge this morning. The num-
Der of pickets had been reduced
to about half, partly due to
Sheriff Hackney's proclamation
prohibiting more than two picketS
from gathering at the same place.
No Disorders Reported
No disorders were reported in
the strike field.
The proclamation Of martial
law was not unexpected. Cover.
nor Pinchot for several days had

men to Uniontown when Sheriff
Harry Hackney, of Fayette

other proposition that State po-
lice take charge of the strike
situation, the Governor explained
today.
Governor Pinchot was at his
home in Milford. His office at the
Capitol released this statement,
which he telephoned here:
Having learned from press
sources that Sheriff Hackney
had wired me refusing my Of
fer to take charge i'm the strike
area and thus prevent violence,
I called him up about 2 o'clock
this morning and laid this def.
mite proposition before him:
"If he would make way for
the State by taking out his
deputies, whose handling Of the
strike has already led to so
much violence, I would send the
police in at once in sufficient
force to maintain order; IL he
would not, I would send in the

HARD BATTLE
EXPECTEDAT
HEARINGS
Sessions on Steel and Coal
Codes, to Start Soon, Will
Put Question to Test
BY International News Service

The battle between open-shop
employers and labor unions in
the framing Of codes under the
recovery act moved toward a
climax today as detailed rules
were laid down to govern the
Presidents 8 blanket codes.
With employers and labor pre-
pairing to come to grips in hear
ingS on the iron and steel code
on Monday, the issue was also
raised when large group OF BIZ
luminous coal operators filed an
"open shop" code.
Precedent Is Awaited
Gen. Hugh s. Johnson was pre-
pared to enforce the clear man
date of the recovery act as
passed by Congress, which guar
anteed to workers the right to
name their own representatives
in the framing of codes.
Application Of this principle,
however, was eagerly awaited both
by employers and labor leaders
seeking to establish a precedent
to govern all codes in the future.
In a far-reaching decision af-
fecting blanket codes, the re-
covery administration held that
union employers must adjust their
contracts to comply with the
blanket code before receiving the
administrations approval.
Wage Cuts Fought
Here, too, another labor issue
was sharply drawn, William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, declared that
labor would fight lowering Of
wages through the installation

Portugal will head the list Of
foreign nations with whom this
Government commences trade
negotiations, it became known
today.
Joao Antonia de Bianchi, the
new Portuguese minister to the
United States, en- route to this
country, is expected to arrive

the Western Hemisphere.
Original plans called for the
Portuguese minister to arrive

Portuguese government expressed
a desire to commence negotiations
without delay, and this Govern
ment, having approached Portu-
gal first, readily consented.
Colombia will be the first

POWER TRUST

Recovery Act Basis for Action
To Finance Public Plants;
Roosevelt FaVorS Move
BY international News Service


The new deal Of the Roose-
welt Administration today en-
brace a comprehensive
scheme of developing pub
licly-owned electric power in
all sections of the nation.
The President has personally
directed the movement, which is
made possible through the $780,
900, 900 public works bond issue.
The policy brings the Admin.
istration directly in conflict with
the so-called power trust" which
has fought Government develop
ment of power. 1t is regarded as
one of the most significant moves
of the Administration.
$26O,OOO,O0O Project
With approval Of the $63. .000,-
600 Grand Coulee project on the
Columbia River, the President
launched power and reclama-
ton development estimated to
cost finally $3.50, 100000. A great
section of the Pacific Northwest
will be provided with Government
electric power.
The Columbia River project had
been rejected by Congress prlm-
arily because it would bring new
farm land into cultivation. The
President, by limiting the initial
work, accepted this view but as
sured the power development.
With work being rushed on
Boulder Dam, from which power
will be sold throughout the
Southwest, two-thirds of the Pa
cific Coast and mountain areas
will be in the reach of public
power.
IckeS Plans Survey
The Tennessee Valley develop
lent, built around the huge Gov
ernment project at Muscle Shoals,
will affect several Southern
States.
If the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
tidewater route treaty is ratified,
another vast publicly-owned elec-
trio power development will be
carried out by the State Of New
York.
Secretary of Interior 1ckes,
who is carrying out the Presi"
dents policy as public works ad-
ministrator, disclosed that a care
full study of hydro-electric power
possibilities will be made in con-
ection with improvements
planned in the Mississippi River
Valley.
Competition Ignored
Still another evidence Of the
Administrations policy is Ickes'
statement that applications for
funds for building of municipal
electric plants will be favorably
considered by the public works
board-even though the plants
may compete with private COM
panies.
The Administration has fully
accepted the proposal Of Senator
George Norris, veteran Republi-
can insurgent of Nebraska, in
developing publicly-owned power
plants as "yardsticks" to deter
mine whether private companies
are charging exorbitant rates.

A decision Is expected to be reached
by the Post Once Department within
two weeks on the proposal to close
the branch postal station on the Mary

tise to leave the Maryland Office where
1t Is, at Connecticut avenue and Kirke
street.
Ofdcials of the department said to-
day a decision first will have to be
made by the First Assistant Postmaster
General as to whether the consolida-
ton should take place, before the ques-
ton of location of the new consoli-
dated station Is determined II the
ruling IS in favor Of the consolidation,
the subject will then 60 to the ONCE
OF the Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General to arrange for the leasing Of
quarters for the new Office.
While definite information has not
been made available as to the exact To-
cation Of the new Office If the change
Is decided upon. it was said that it
| would be on the District side. There
also are some indications that in the
event OF change and consolidation of
the Offices, the department may seek a
location not far from the circle on Con-
necticut avenue. At the department it
was said, however, that the question of
| location will not arise for settlement
until after a determination has been
reached as to the consolidation of
Offices.
In making their plea for retention
Of the Maryland station at its present
location, the citizens of that area have
emphasized that arrangements could be
made there for the additional space de-
sired for the post Office facilities.
