pY ORDER of the national labor re-
- lations board there will be held
soon great workers election which
will determine whether organized labor
shall dominate the country's rubber in
dustry.
The board decreed that the Fire
Stone Tire and Rubber company and
the B. F. Goodrich company Of Akron,
Ohio, must allow their employees to
ballot on the question of whether they
want a company union or an; American
Federation of Labor union to represent
them In collective bargaining under the
NRA. Ao~ -
Twenty-one thousand workers, the
largest number ever polled by the labor
board on an NTsA question, will par
ticipate in the, elelcton. In addition
another 5000 workers of the Good
year Rubber company may ballot on
the same question.
Both the Firestone and Goodrich
companies have opposed the elections
now ordered. maintaining that condi-
tons in their plants are satisfactory
and that electioneering in rival unions
would only disturb the peace among the
workers.

cy relief act, providing for the grant
ing of funds for various relief pur-
poses, could not apply to the acQuisi-
ton of real estate and the construc-
ton of homes. This type of activity,
he said, would be of permanent and
not an emergency nature, and the act
was adopted to meet emergencies.

the controversy had been eliminated In

merce urges Senators Lewis and Die

the proposed treaty, saying In part:
'The apprehension we have felt
toward the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway treaty Is not based entirely
upon selfish interest. While we insist
that article VIII has no place In the
treaty because of the unfair penalties
1t imposes upon Chicago and the state

UNNECESSARILY impeded should the

A huge stretch of ice-covered Ant
arctic wastes, which previously had
been considered to be over water, was
said by Byrd to be land. He made this
announcement in a radio message to
President Roosevelt following flight
east into Marie Byrd Land. He brought
back with him conclusive evidence that
Marie Byrd Land runs in an unbroken
line from the Antarctic coast to the
South pole, and that transatlantic
strait does not exist. Byrd declared
it is all land, overwhelmed by ice."

GO FAR as the great steel industry
y is concerned, 1t appears that the
industrial truce asked by President
Roosevelt cannot be arranged, and the
prospect of strike Of the steel work
ers is growing.
In behalf of the United States Steel
corporation, proposal was made to
the American Federation of Labor that
recognition of that organization would
be granted, but that no contract would
be made. This proposal, it was said,
would be agreed to by IS per cent Of
the steel industry.
The labor Spokesman, led by William
Green, president Of the A. F. of L., re-
jected the tender on the ground that
it was hedged about in such way to
permit collective bargaining with mi
nority groups or company unions, and
that the employers were still unwilling
to accept the principle of majority rule
as set forth in the national labor re-
lations boards decision in the Houde

COBER minded American citizens

the fantastic story that Maj. Gen.

York, considered the tale of enough I'M
portance to warrant the calling of wit
nesses to prove or disprove It. General
Butler made his story public through
the columns of the. New York Evening
Post, as the proceedings OF the COM
mittee are conducted in private.
If Butler is to be believed, he was
approached by Gerald P. MacGuire,
bond salesman in the stock exchange
firm of Grayson NJ P. Murphy and
company, and urged to accept the lead
ership of soldier organization of half
a million men (which would assem-
ble-probably year from now-in
Washington, and that within a few
days it could take over the functions
of the government" MacGuire, accord
ing to the general, thought the over
turn of the government might be ac-
complished peacefully and suggested
that I'VE might even. go along with
Roosevelt and do with him what Mus
solini did with the king of Italy,"
Buffers story continued:
"He told me he believed that at

low me.

had two other candidates for the posi-
ton Of Man on the White Horse He
said that if / did not accept, an offer
would be made to Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, chief of staff of the United
States army, and that the third choice
would be Hartford MacNider, former
commander of the American Legion.
$50 far as / know, neither General
Macarthur nor MacNider has been ap-
preached. Their names were merely
mentioned as 'alternates.'
The general said he was offered con-
siderable sums "for expenses" which he
did not accept. He said MacGuire in
timated that among the hackers of the
plan were Mr.. Murphy and Col. Robert
S. Clark, a wealthy New Yorker with
offices in the Stock Exchange build
ing; and he added that later Colonel
Clark offered him money to go to the
American Legion convention in Chi
cago last year and make speech for
retention of the gold standard, which
speech MacGuire had previously given
Butler.
Clark, at present in France, admit
ted he had asked Butler ito use his
influence in favor of sound money and
against inf1aticn," but strongly denied
that he had sponsored Fascist move
ment. He declared he would take &C
ton for libel against any person &C
cusing him in such a connection.
Murphy and other Wall Street men
said the story was absolutely false
and unutterably ridiculous, and Mac
CURE, after being heard by the Nc
Cormack committee, said: 'It's q joke

Geneva a proposal by the United
States for international control of
arms traffic and full publicity to pre-
vent secret arming of nations. The
proposal was well received by most
of the delegates, and it will be studied
by committees in January.
By the American plan each govern
ment would license its manufacturers
of munitions for iye-year periods. No
reserve stocks would be allowed and
manufacturers would be required to
present bona fide orders before receiv-
ing license. Details of war vessels
built for other nations would have to
be reported. Reports Of licenses and
orders would be turned over to a GEN.
trail committee at Geneva and made
a matter of public record. A perma-
nent commission, including a men,
Der from each signatory nation, would
be empowered to investigate transac-
tons.
