ents the contents of the order re-
ceived from Mrs. Thos. O'Berry,
director of the North Carolina
emergency relief, which calls for
discontinuance of relief to all en-

failure of people to help with the
harvesting of crops.
The officials of the local relief
office are asking the farmers to
cooperate with these relief cases

labor at current wages, or in
furnishing produce in exchange
for labor. The office has advised
it's clients to accept food products

Courts Must Rule
Majority Right In
Labor Bargaining

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. (UP)
Capital and labor today neared a
showdown fight in the courts over
one of the most vital issues of the
New Deal-the right of the ma
iority to bargain with employers
for the minority. -,
, The battle will revolve about
the decision handed down by the
National Labor Relations board in
the case of the Houde Engineer
ing Corp, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
board ruled that any agreement
reached between the employer and
the representative of the majority
was binding upon tn minority.
Majority representatives were
given exclusive right to bargain
with the bosses and the corpora
ton. was ordered to recognize an
American Federation of Labor al
filiated union.
The Buffalo concern defied the
board. Chairman Lloyd K. CARR
son said yesterday the government
soon would institute action against
the corporation in the U. s: Dis
trict court of the western district
of New York.
The department of justice has
been considering the case for two
weeks. The NRA backed up Gar
rison's order by demanding sur
render of the Houde corporations
blue eagle.
The Importance of the forth
coming decision by the courts was
emphasized by Garrison when he
said every effort would be made
to facilitate action on the case.

Are Given In Brief.
Hauptmann Court Action
at New York Postponed
One Week
BY UNITED PRESS

Developments which came rap
idly Monday in the Lindbergh case
included:
Colonel Lindbergh flew toward
New York to attempt identified
ton of Bruno R. Hauptmann as
the man he saw near a Bronx
cemetery when $4,000 ransom
was delivered, and to testify be-
fore the Bronx grand jury.
New Jersey authorities an
nounced they would seek extradi-
ton of Hauptmann for trial on
murder and kidnapping charges as
quickly as the Bronx grand jury
finishes it's case.
The grand jury questioned sew
en- witnesses, including DR.. John
F. (Jafsie) Condor.
Hauptmann, freshly shaven and
appearing unworried, was taken
to court but his arraignment was
postponed one week. He then was
questioned further at the district
attorneys office.
James M. Fawcett, Hauptmann's
attorney, said he had startling
evidence" which will "crack the
case wide open" but declined to
reveal it's nature. ~ -.
A New York detective was due
in Leipzig, Germany, to investi-
gate transactions between Haupt-
mann and Isidore Fisch, who died
there last March. Fisch's family
staunchly defended his character.
District Attorney Foley said
"Jafsie" had not identified Haupt-
mann.
The New York Law Journal
warned against third degree"
methods in obtaining statements
from Hauptmann. adding that on
the basis of present evidence he
could only be convicted of hoard
ing gold.
Witnesses told how Hauptmann
was treated for a leg injury which
may have been received in fall,
and it was recalled that the kid
naper probably fell when the lad
der he used broke under his
weight.
Federal operatives theorized
that the crime was a family job
with Hauptmann as "key man."
and said the prisoner is showing
signs of breaking under question

pointed out that Hauptmann, in
March 1892, was EMPLOYED on an
apartment building in a district OF
Manhattan from which two Of the

LOCAL CRASH.
REMAINS AT 4.
D. S. Morrison Said to Be
Somewhat Improved
at Hospital
2 FUNERALS TODAY
AND 2 WEDNESDAY

Funeral services for four Hen
derson county men who died of
injuries resulting from a collision
between a state highway truck
and Southern railway locomo-
tive yesterday morning about z
o'clock, at the Seventh avenue
crossing here, will be held this
afternoon and tomorrow.
Meanwhile, D. S. Morrison, 46,
the fifth man in the wreck, con-
tinued to hold his own at the Pat
ton Memorial hospital where he
was taken after the wreck. This
morning Morrison was reported as
possibly somewhat better, but his
condition was still serious. He suf-
fered chest injuries.
Funeral services for Jacob Hill
and w. L. Owenby were being
held this afternoon at 2 o'clock
at the Mt. Moriah Baptist church
in the Edneyville community, and
burial will take place there. The
Rev. Broadus E. Jones, pastor of
the First Baptist church, will con-
duct the services, assisted by the
Rev. Mr.. Drye, of Fruitland.
Services for Jack Levi, who died
yesterday afternoon at $3.50 at
the hospital, will be held Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
FfuitIand Institute auditorium.
Services for Fred Liverett will
be held Wednesday morning at 1
o'clock at the Moore's Grove
church and burial will follow in
Oakdale cemetery here.
The five men were riding to
work on a Ford truck belonging
to the state highway department.
There was a heavy fog and the
Waterman at the crossing had not
for duty. These two fac
tors are thought to have been pri-
marily responsible for the COLI
sion.
The truck was travelling west on
Seventh avenue and was struck by
a Southern locomotive going north.
The engine was the helper on the
Saluda grade which had been re-
lieved from duty a short time be-
fore.
The engine was piloted by En-
gineer C. R. Pinkston, of Ashe-
Vile, and the conductor was w.
B. Whitaker, also of Asheville.
The driver of the truck had not
been definitely established today
because four of the five men are
dead and the fifth has been unable
to give any information concern
ing the wreck due to his condition.
The truck was carried about
100 yards down the tracks in the
direction of Asheville and demol-
ished. The men and bits of the
wreckage were scattered over the
distance travelled.
Hill lay in front of the locomo-
tive and wreckage and Liverett
was entangled in mass of wreck
age at the side of the engine cab.
Hill and Liverett were killed
instantly and the three other men
were rushed to the hospital. Ow-
enby died a short time later and
Levi died yesterday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock.
Coroner J. F. Brooks empan-
elled a jury which viewed the
scene and bodies, but no an
nouncement of an inquest has
been made. Mr.. Brooks stated this
morning that details Of the wreck
had been wired to the state high
way department and that he was

Hull Construction Lomplet. ed-to Be Tn Commis-

A fine, new up-to-date river steamer to be called the Wallace Langley is now taking shape on the banks of the Kuskokwim River Et to take the place of the old river steamer Tana which has been in commission in the freight and pas sengef business on the Yukon and later on the Kuskokwim Rivers for the past 30 years.
 The Wallace Langley, so named in honor of Capt. Wallace Lang ley. President of the Inland Rivers Navigation O., was designed and framed in Seattle and the parts shipped to Bethel on the Kusko- kwim River to be assembled. The hull has already been put togeth- CT and it is expected that the ma chinery will be installed and the finishing touches put on during the winter in order that she may be ready to be placed in Commission when navigation opens next season.
 The Wallace Langley, when com pleted, will be the last word in steamers engaged in the freight and passenger traffic on Alaskan rivers. She is to be much larger than the Tana, and will have the latest and most modern appoint ments and fixtures in her passen- ger accommodations and the latest devices for the handling of freight. The ocean steamer Tupper, which is also owned by Capt. Wallace Langley, makes the trip from Se- attle to Bethel, approximately 100 miles up the Kuskokwim River, where connection is made with the river steamers that take care of the freight and passenger business on the upper reaches and as far as McGrath.
