was widespread as miners converged on
Searight. in the heart of the coal belt,
for gigantic mass meeting at pm.
New contmgents of miners marched

the Carnegie Steel Co.
Several manufacturing plants in the
Pittsburgh district closed and workers
in others struck. About 300 men and

ing workers at the Weirton. w. Va. and
Steubenville Ohio, plants Of the Weir

SAID yesterday the plant will reopen
soon.
Shortly before midnight pickets
stopped a truck headed for the en-
trance and beneath tarpaulin found
IL men. They conveyed them to the
State line and ordered them to go

to resist any move to return to work.
In ordering the miners to end their

son, recovery administrator. to go back
to work and that to refuse would con-

At Clarion. as pickets tried to pre-
vent a car load of employees from en-

through the line. brushing several
strikers and knocking down an Amer
lean flag they had planted at the en-
trance.
At another entrance to the plant,
three car loads of workers were stoned.
One windshield was shattered and an
employe was cut about the face.

Giant partisans. Goslin then lined
toward right and Terry made leap

ease the situation for Hubbell and the

TOXIC, October 3.-The foreign Of
flee disclosed today that the japanese
Embassy at Moscow is pressing vigor-
ously for cancellation of Vladivostok
port regulations which an official
spokesman said he believed were de-
signed to hide the progress of military
works converting Vladivostok into a
formidable war base.
Japan contends the regulations, en-
forced since August 8, especially the
requirement that all foreign vessels en-
tering Vladivostok shall be placed in
the command of a Soviet pilot, unwar-
rantedly interfere with trade communi-
cations.
Moreover, the spokesman said, the
measure obviously is anti-Japanese
because japanese vessels are the only
alien craft calling regularly at Vladi-

Damon and Pythias

When Roosevelt's afflictlon
struck him so suddenly and
terrifically, laying him upon his
back for years, it was Louis
Howe who quietly took charge
of his political future, who kept
his name before the people, who
saw to it that Roosevelt re-
manned always a personality
and potential force in the
minds of the politicians. That
period of the Presidents physi-
cal helplessness brought to
flower one of the SinCerest and
most beautiful friendships in
history, one that suffers not at
all from comparison with the
love that existed between
Damon and Pythias and Ro-
land and Oliver. BY resolution.
unflinching courage and the
power of conquering himself,
Roosevelt proved himself to
Howe, and by loyalty and intel
ligence and tremendous indus
try Howe proved himself to
Roosevelt. Is it any wonder,
therefore, that this little dark
man, with the almost emaciated
body and a heart that flutters
dangerously whenever he at
tempts the smallest flight Of
stairs, holds first place in the
Presidents affections, trust and
estimation?.

House a Handicap

There is no leadership worthy
the name in the House today,
There is no organization of the
majority that can function.
Chairmen of important COM
mittees are shirking their du.
ties, reporting measures with
out examination, voting them
without debate, scrapping their
platform pledges, and making
of the legislative oath "a scrap
Of paper"
The disorganized and unled
House of Representatives is the
greatest handicap under which
the Roosevelt administration
labors today.
This fearless group Of con-
scientious Senators who are
spurning the degraded example
Of the House are not only rem
dering real service to the leader
ship Of the President. They
are also recalling to the recol'
lection of the American people
the high standard set for the
United States Senate by Daniel
Webster when he said:
"This is a Senate, a Senate
of equals, of men of individual
honor and personal character
and of absolute independence.
We knoW no masters, De 0c-
knowledge no dictators. This
is a hall for mutual eonsutt0-
fion and diseussion, not an
arena for the exhibition Of
champions"
