STRUCCLEFOR
LATIN TRADE
American Textile Trade
Doomed Unless Aided
by Government

WASHINGTON, Oct.16. (UP).
The fierce struggle between Japa-
.nese and United States industry
over the rich Latin-Arherican
markets was placed squarelv be-
fore the government with a de-
mand for federal aid yesterday
by cotton textile exporters.
Henry Lauten of the textile
association warned the commit
tee on reciprocity information
obtaining data on proposed
trade agreement with Haiti than
japanese competition was becom-
ing mora intense daily.
Unless the government finds
some way of aiding exporters
through preferential tariffs or
quotas, Lauten said, United
States trade in cotton textiles to
Latin-America is doomed.
Japan's commercial penetra-
ton of Latin-America is viewed
here as an important part Of her
phenomenal trade expansion
which, in turn, officials associate
with the new spirit of nationalism
sweeping the country.
1t is dan extremely delicate
situation. Government officials
who chart the changes in trade
balances admitted last night they
had received Instructions from
higher-ups to limit their observa..
tons to public dissemination of
current export and import fig
ureS.
Privately they feel the ques-
ton involves more than the price
of a sheet sold in Peru. They
profess to see behind Japan's re.
ported plan to demand naval
parity with the United States and
great Britain at the forthcoming
conversations in London, another
example of the new nationalism
that has made the trade boom
possible.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-(UP).-

resented as a "good buy" at a
time when it was being pledged as
collateral for bank loans, the gov
eminent sought to establish yes

Persons who had bought the
stock or had assisted in it's distri-

stand. telling much the same tale
with little variation. The white
haired insult sat with eyes closed
through much of the testimony
and at times appeared to doze.
One purchaser became suspi-

and wrote to the company as fol-
lows:

Indy URGES
ACTION AS TO
AIR MAIL DEAL
Men "Blacklisted" by Far
ley Should Be Prose-
cuted or Exhonorated
SAYS LEADERS FROZEN
OUT OF INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. (UP)
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
told the Federal Aviation board
its most important problem is
clearing the status of aviation
leaders blacklisted by Postmaster
General James A. Farley.
Lindbergh testified that it is a
fact that several aviation leaders
were frozen out of the industry
through government fiat and that
it is disastrous to the morale of
the industry. He recommended
either charges be brought against
these blacklisted leaders through
proper courts or that they be
cleared.
The famous flier's opinion on
ways to improve relations between
the government and commercial
air lines was sought by the com.
mission in its extensive survey to
determine a future air policy for
the nation.
Lindbergh appeared in a room,
on the top floor. of the department
of commerce where seating ca
pacity is less than 200. At his
last public appearance in Wash
ington, in the huge senate caucus
room, he was heard by 500 men
and women who jammed every
corner.
Lindbergh's senate testimony
related to the Black-McKellar air
mail act under which private lines
now fly the mail. The aviation
commission has heard it attacked
by leading operators as "discrim-
inatory and unjust" Lindbergh's
attitude had been expected to be
similar.
He told the senate post office
committee last year that cancella-
ton of private mail contracts by
the administration was unwar-
ranted and certain provisions of
the Black-McKellar bill violated
constitutional rights of the carrl-
ers. Those provisions were elimi-
mated before the measure passed
congress, but some features OBJ
jected to by Lindbergh remained.
The commission already has
heard Gen. William Mitchell, for
mer army air chief; Col. Eddie
Rickenbacker, famous war ace,
and others and probably will sum-
mon Clarence Chamberlin and
Amelia Earhart to complete the
parade Of noted filters.
Meanwhile, representatives OF
the Air Line Pilots association
testified yesterday that six air
mail contractors were using
every possible subterfuge" to
evade the Black-McKellar law.
They named:
Pacific Seaboard Air Lines,
Inc; Braniff Anyways, Inc; Cen
trial Air Lines; Long and Hartman,
Inc; Delta Air Corporation, and
the Varney Speed Lines.
They urged the commission to
re, ommend Sound, progressive
policy" for the industry which
would provide pilots with ade-
ouate training.

THOUSAND MINERS END MASS
THREAT TO TAKE OWN LIVES
Wives and Children Greet
Them Historically After
Demand Adjusted

FUNFKIRCHEN, Hungary, Oct.
16.-(UP).-One thousand min
ers who threatened mass suicide
as a protest against low wages
emerged from their voluntary en-
tombment in the depths of coal
mine today after being assured
that their demands will be full
filled through personal inter-en-
ton of Premier Julius Goehboes.
They were greeted Historically
by their wives and children at the
pithead after more than four days
below the surface. More than so
of them are seriously i'll because
of bad air.
FUNFKIRCHEN, Hungary, Oct.
16.-(UP).-Deep in the mine
where they have immuned them
selves in a desperate hunger
strike, 1900 miners early today
considered captivating to the gov
ernmetn and mine owners, under
promise of an amelioratoin of
their working conditions.
At the point of exhaustion,
weakened by poisonous gases, and
dieing of hunger, the miners re-
ceived new offers of a compromise
shortly after they passed the
Tooth hour of their self-imposed
Imprisonment.
The government, by prodigious
efforts, succeeded in reaching an
agreement on four points, as be-
tween the unions and the mine
owners. They were:
l. Provision for a bonus of ap-
proximately $4,000 to the strik-
ers, and of a similar amount at
Christmas time.
2. No prosecution for the strik-
ers providing no damage has been
done to the mine.
8. No cancellation of vacations.
4. Appointment of a govern
ment commission "to see that JUS
tice is done"
A fifth point, covering the min
ers' demands for five days work
week was not settled.
sThe socialist leader M. Peyer
arrived - Funfkirchen at mid
night, and is believed to have been
the agent who communicated the
terms of the agreement to the
men 1900 feet below ground.

SUITS FILED
FOR DAMAGES
FROM FLOOD

LOS ANGELES, March 30. Up)
State and county officials were
accused OF responsibility for the
heavy toll of damage in the New
Years flood in claims for Sl08 1896
damages filed by ID property own
ers of La Crescenta, Montrose and
Glendale today.
Omissions of official duty were
charged on six points enumerated
in the claims, filed with the board
of supervisors by Attorney A. Clar-
ence Routhe.
Alleged negligence charged to the
state and county were. failure to
provide proper flood control; fail
ure to provide dams, channels,
check dams and flood lanes, failure
to provide proper water openings
under bridges; neglect in erecting
distractions TO the waters, wrong
ful diversion of waters from nat
ural channels into in d equate
channels: failure to warn residents
in time to permit escape.
Defending the county, E. c. Eat
on, chief flood control engineer,
said there are 100 miles Of water
shed on the eastern front of the
county which are subject TO disas-
trous brush fires which, burning
through the canyons behind Mont
rose, were q direct cause OF the
flood.
The county has been without
funds TO protect adequately this
No
brush covering burned Eaton
said.
Residents built their homes on
a debris cone which had been built
by floods similar to the New Years
downpour during past ages, without
leaving natural channels for the
water. This cannot be blamed on
county officials, who were without
laws to prevent the real estate sub
division"
