Hope to Keep Down Fur

SECRETARY PERKINS
OFFERS ASSISTANCE

WASHINGTON, July 10. (UP).
Strikes in various parts OF the
country were regarded so serious
ly here today that President
Roosevelt was wirelessed reports
on the situation. The newly
sworn-in national labor board
plunged Immediately into the task
of preventing spread of violence
and bloodshed from the Pacific
coast and Bridgeton. N. j., scenes
of serious rioting.
The board, headed by Lloyd
Garrison, S7-year-old grandson Of
the famous abolitionist, hoped to
be able to avert additional viol-
ence at least until President
Roosevelt returns from his holt
day on the cruiser Houston.
Major labor conflicts were re-
ported from New Jersey to San
Francisco and from Minneapolis
to Fort Worth. In almost every
case federal mediators were busy.
trying to end armed forays and
an almost daily toll of dead and
injured.
New to its task, the boards
first objective was to familiarize
itself with reports of about 100
disputes which were turned over
to it by the national labor board
headed by Senator Robert F.
Wagner d.. N. ", which it re-
places.
Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins and her staff offered the
full resources Of the labor depart
ment to aid the mediators in
speedily coming to grips with the
cream of knotty problems with
which it is faced.
For the present, the board is
retaining the facilities of the re-
gional labor boards organized UNI
der the earlier set-up. These
bords are the first line of de.
tense in maintaining industrial
peace. Appeals are taken to the
national board which Is a court
of last resort.
Two of the most serious con.
flicts are in the hands Of special
presidential boards named bv Mr..
Roosevelt. These are the Pacific
coast longshoremen's strike and
the steel industry fight. The
longshoremen's strike presents
the most immediate crisis with q
general strike threatened and
several dead in bitter rioting.
Of equal portent is a threat Of
renewal of strife at Minneapolis
where two were killed in a truck,
ers' strike in May A mass meet
ing for Wednesday has been
called to vote on q general strike.
Other problems include a. truck
farm strike at Bridgeton, N. j.,
where several score persons wer
injured in rioting. a strike Of on
ion weeders at McGuffy, o.,
where q machine gun was called
into play and a threat Of a strike
of steel car workers and bus driv-
ers at Fort Worth, Texas.

Excavation in Advanced
Stage; to Finish Main
St. Project Soon

Work of excavating Seventh
avenue east was we'll underway
today, preparatory to resurfacing
the entire street from Main street
to the Southern depot, while con-
tractors told Mayor A. V. Ed
wards they were planning to re-
surface Main street at once.
Mayor Edwards said he under
stood the resurfacing of the cen
ter of Main street from WHICH old
paving and the car track recently
were removed and a new concrete
base laid, would be started Wed
nesday and that this work would
require only a few days, with
little inconvenience to traffic.
The surface will be of three-inch
asphalt and can be used as soon
as it is rolled, it was said.
Seventh avenue east will be re-
paved in its entirety within the
east and west limits specified.
The street will have a five-inch
concrete base and a three-inch as
phalt top. This work will require
about eight weeks, it was estimat-
ed. Meanwhile, business firms on
the street will be Inconvenience,
it was estimated, although a ma
jority have alley or side street
outlets. Mayor Edwards said traf-
fic signs would be erected and
that merchants on the street
would be given every "break"
possible.
While the city administration
has had no control over the street
work, the contracts having been
let by the state highway commits
sion with federal cooperation,
Mayor Edwards has kept in close
touch with the projects and is
enthusiastic over the improve
ments. Comparatively few COM
plants of business handicaps have
been received, he said, although
business firms manifestly would
have preferred that the work be
done at any other season of the
year.

BERLIN, July 10. (UP).-An

today to meet Friday at 8 p. m.
to give formal blessing to the
acts of Hitler's government in
suppressing the Roehm revolt.
Ten minutes after announce

BERLIN, July 10.-(UP).-
Menace of food shortage caused
the newly "purged" Nazi regime
to bring it's dictatorial powers
into play Monday.
Economies Minister Schmitt,
exercising the absolute authority
granted by last Thursdays law
making food dictator, issued de-
cree raising the import quotas on
potatoes to overcome a shortage
throughout the reich.
Authorities emphasized that the
action was to overcome the "nor-
NAL" early summer shortage, but
admitted this was acutely accen-
tuated by heavy frosts in the
spring. The people have been put
on rations of potatoes in many
sections. Three pounds to a per-
son was the rule in areas affected
worst. German farmers also have
been hard hit by the drouth this
summer, and the crops will be
short in many districts usually
counted upon for food.
The duty on potatoes also was
reduced until the end of July,
from six marks ($2.30) to two
marks (76 cents) per double cent
ner, or 220 pounds.
Until the end of this week,
when the German crops are ex-
pected to begin pouring in, Hol-
land has been granted supple
mentary quota of 35 carloads OF
200 centners each, daily; Italy, 40
to 60 carloads, and Belgium, 30
carloads.
The scarcity of potatoes led to
closing of several grocery stores
in the west end of Berlin, on
charges of profteering.
In conformity with announced
plaus to restore the nation to nor.

BERLIN, July 10.-(UP).-A
new move to take millions of Ger
mans out of uniform and restore
the reich to normal civil life
gained impet us last night with
an order for the Steel Helmets
war veterans organization to take
en- enforced holiday until August
Is.
During the vacation period,
wearing of the uniform of the
organization was strictly forbid
den.
The order followed a declara-
ton earlier of a months holiday
for the Nazi Storm Troops. They,
likewise, are not to appear in uni
form during July. The result was
expected to lessen tension be-
tween the two semi military
bodies and permit the people to
forget the bloody events of the
past ten days.
The Storm Troops new COM
mander, Viktor Lutte, also grant
ed members permission to leave
the country for trips abroad, such
as the Nazi welfare organizations
have scheduled for workers this
summer.
The vexatious problem of de.
mobilizing the Storm Troops will
be Chancellor Adolf Hitler's first
most important task of returning
from a quiet weekend in Bavaria,
where for the first time since ex-
ecutions began on June 80 he had
a chance to review the troubled
domestic situation calmly.

waters, it was reported reliably.
He will be accompanied by De-
