Michael Tighe Urges Steel EN-
ployes of Mahoning Valley
to Take Lead.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, September 18
speaking before one of the largest
assemblies of workers ever held in
Youngstown, Michael Tighe, president
of the Amalgamted Association OF Iron
and Steel and Tin Workers, yesterday
called on steel workers Of the Mahon-
ing Valley to take the lead in a move
for complete unioniZation OF workers
throughout the United States.
Tighe fired the opening gun OF what
labor leaders plan to be the most stren-
uous union move yet made among steel
workers here. He pleaded for cool
action.
1T will require the best brains OF
American workers to take advantage
of the opportunity offered through the
N. r. A." Tighe said. Faith, will
and work will be required.
Cool, conservative action is needed
There should be no hot-headedness::
We should sit down with employers and
discuss things with them, allowing them
a profit and showing them clearly that
workmen have an interest in the busl-
ness and should have profit also. We
should talk to employers as free citizen
to free citizen. without fear.
I'VE should not be led into false
pastures. We should know the busi-
ness in which we are engaged, and
we should show the public our fairness,
so that they will know that any fric-
ton resulting Is not caused by unions.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt put another
$50, 100000 of Federal pressure behind
the credit expansion program today as
Southern congressional spokesmen rail-
lied for straightout currency imitation.
The new Federal funds were made
available to the Federal land banks by

financing of farm mortgages held by
banks whose operations have been re-
stricted by heavy portfolios Of such
paper.
Jones Announces Plan.
Jesse H. Jones, chairman, announced
the plan as the drive for currency in
flation picked up its strongest force
since Congress empowered Mr.. Roose-
welt to issue new currency or devaluate
the dollar. The gathering here Of cot
ton men and Southern political leaders
again made the imitation issue one OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's major problems.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa, who has telegraphed members OF
Congress asking their views on inf1a-
ton, said the meeting will choose a
committee to convey its imitation views
to the President. Every cotton State
was expected to be represented.
Thomas said Representative Byrns OF
Tennessee, the House Democratic leader,
was supporting the imitation move along
with So other members of the Senate
and House.
Senator Thomas said he had received
more than 100 kilograms in reply to his
message on imitation and that ''only S
per cent have reported as opposed to
imitation"
"At this rate" Thomas told news
paper men, indications are that the
members of Congress are overwhelm-
ingly in favor of imitation as a means
of raising the price of farm products.

things that farmers have to buy are
almost 80 per cent greater than the
prices of the things the farmer has to

quests have been carried by number
of party leaders in recent days, was

U. S. and British Representatives Join

PARIS, September 18 LP.-The de-
sire for a three-power front on dis
armament motivated French leaders
today as American and British repre-
sentatives joined them in conversations
preliminary to the reopening of the
Arms Conference in Geneva next
Monday.
French newspapers and legislators
have pointed to Nazi demonstrations
at the border and what they call the
possibility of the early completion OF
German air fleet as requiring flrm
stand against any loosening OF pacts
governing ornaments.
From the French point of view. the
current talks VIII have tffee OBJECTS:
To compare notes on charges that
Germany is rearming; to discuss q
course should Germany refuse to accept
a control plan which French opinion
considers prerequisite to the acceptance
of any disarmament treaty, and to get
backing for a French proposal for In
ternational arms control before arma-
ments are reduced.
Davis Represents u. S.
Ambassador Norman H. Davis is rep
resenting the United States and Capt.
Anthony Eden the British foreign
office. Speaking for France are Premier
Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minis
ter Joseph Paul -Boncour.
Reports that the United States will
support the control scheme and
change in the British attitude since
a demand was made to stop a "propa-
ganda bombardment of Austria" have
heartened official France.
But the feeling is general in France
that the Disarmament Conference will
enter a crucial period this Fall be-
cause of the fear of Nazi Germany.
The conference. which already has
had as many lives as cat. will early
arrive at definite results or, informed
quarters say, will be lost in war clouds.
Last November France presented a
control plan at Geneva. Since, Adolf
Hitler has come into power in Germany
and French willingness to disarm be-
fore q control is established has changed
to a willingness to disarm only after
such a control is proved workable.
Discussions Under Way.
The suggestion has been made that
M. Daladier himself 60 to Geneva to
reply to an exposition of foreign policy

expected to make for Germany.
The arms discussions got under way
today at a meeting attended by Capt
Eden, Foreign Minister Paul -Boncour
and experts. They laid the groundwork
for conversations which will be con-
tinued with Mr.. Davis tomorrow.
At this session M. Paul -Boncour re-
viewed recent Nazi acts and urged that
there was a vital need for a firm stand
toward Germany. 1t is necessary that
Great Britain, the United States and
France present united front at Ge-
neva, he said.
After luncheon, which Premier Dala-
dier attended, the conference was con-
tinued, with the premier presiding. It
was understood that Capt. Eden had
received a full report by telephone of
the meeting in London today between
Prime Minister Macdonald and Mr.
