NEW ORLEANS
FIGHTS LONG
City Takes Battle With Huey
Into Courts To Break Hold
On Louisiana.
BY II. O. THOMPSON

United PreaC Staff Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. S. = City
authorities today launched deSper-
ate battle in the courts to prevent
New Orleans being taken over
lock, stock, and barrel by Sen. Huey
P. Long. The court moves were
made in the face of new state laws,
becoming effective tomorrow mid
night, that establish virtual die
tatorship with the "kingfish' as
the dictator.
Federal Judge Wayne G. Borah
interposed the weight of the federal
government in the bitter war be-
tween Longs political machine
which controls state government
and the political machine that con-
trolls local government.
He issued an order restraining
r. ]. Gregory, registrar of voters,
from erasing any names from the
registration books for the Septem-
ber IL congressional primaries. At
ter the militia under the "king--
fish, direction seized the registra-
ton office recently, Long boasted
that the names of $4,000 citizens
had been scratched from the books
Civil District Judge w. c. Jones
issued an injunction in Baton
Rouge prohibiting Longs newly
created state police from invading
New Orleans primary day when,
New Orleans officials charge, Long
plans to "steal the election. =.
The injunctions were believed on
ly the first of court efforts to stave
off the effectiveness of the laws,
recently passed by the Long-dom-
mated legislature, which would re-
duce New Orleans to the status OF
conquered province.
1t was believed an injunction
might be sought against EACH OF
the 26 new laws.
The two injunctions failed to
daunt the strutting "kingfish. -
He planned to go ahead with his
militia-guard inquiry into vice con-
ditions in New Orleans, by which
he hopes to oust Mayor T. Semmes
WalmSley.

HYDE PARK, Sept. 5.-President

today to speed a settlement of the
strike spreading through Americas
huge textile industry.
Upon recommendation of the ma
tional labor relations board, the
President announced he had de-
cided to have special board Of
three members to mediate the
strike
The President, who had main
tanned policy of hands Off in re-
gard to the geatest labor conflict
under NRA, broke his silence unex-
pectedly at time when reports
showed the slow paralysis of the
strike was being extended.
The percentage of strikers in New
England had increased this morn
ing, thousands of silk workers walk
ed out in New Jersey and violence
was reported from the south as
pickets sought to spread the walk
out
The national labor relations board
reported to the President that. in
the face of the spread of the strike,
it had tried without success to bring
peace to the industry.
The labor relations boards recon-
mendations were contained in a
two page letter to the President
made iotablic simultaneously with
the announcement that a special
board was being selected.
Lloyd K. Garrison, chairman of
the national board, in his letter to
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote that "in defer
ence to the Important function
which we have been created by you
to discharge, we believe that the
public interest would best be served
by our immediate withdrawal from
further mediation efforts in the
textile strike.
From our knowledge of the sit
uation we are satisfied that media
ton looking toward. termination
of the strike can best 60 forward by
your creating a special board under
public resolution "A, with full auth
ority to investigate the causes of the
strike and to propose just basis
of settlement"

hours talk I ever had in my life. I

What Mr.. Hoover means are

Sinclair revealed that SO far as
