tory measure against the morato-
rum on exchange declared by
Germany.
It was stated in high authori-

Roosevelt inquired whether spe--
cific legislation would be required
to give the administration power
to take such action. 1t is learned
that the attorney general said
that such power existed.
The United States is not at
present contemplating a credit
seizure action such as England
and France have projected, it is

Steel union leaders today offered
to make the steel strike truce per-

They laid down q four-point
plank before Secretary Perkins.
It is based on the compromise
proposals drafted by Green and
accepted by the union convention
in Pittsburgh last week.
Settlement Of the strike was
believed imminent. Miss Perkins
and Mike Tighe, union represen-
tative, appeared optimistic, al

2O-Year Old Boy Burned
to Death in Brooklyn;
Over 100 Homeless

NEW YORK Negro women,
trapped on the fifth story of blaz-
ing tenement at 127 Edgecombe
Ave, Harlem, leaped to their deaths
early yesterday.
The women were Mrs. Mary Blake,
So, and her daughter, IT. Before
jumping to the street, they had
thrown Calvin White, 10 years old,
a grandson of Mrs. Blake, out Of
the window in a frantic effort to
save him from an even more horri-
BILE death in the blazing building.
These deaths, together with an
other which occurred yesterday,
bring the total fire fatalities under
the LaGuardia administration to 81.
The 10-year-old boy is in Harlem
Hospital, SO critically injured that
little hope is held for his recovery.
The three victims were cut off by
a wall of flame from the rear of the
building, where the fire escapes were
located. There were no fire escapes
in the front, in open violation of
the new multiple dwellings law.
The fire was discovered by Nor
man Blake, son of Mrs. Blake, who
was returning from work at about 2
am. He saw the smoke pouring out

National Rank and File Committee
in Washington has issued a call
for rank and file veteran conven-
ton to be held in Washington the
first week of May before Congress
adjourns. The Senate vote and a
further vote overriding the presi-
dents veto are still necessary to
submit to our demands.
1.-THE veterans see more clearly
that Congress and its New Deal is a
program for the bankers, large in
dustries 1t is a program of prepa-
ration for new imperialist war and
the establishing of fascism IN Amer
lea. Billions go for war and profit
subsidies. The veterans have been
cut in this program and not cent
for direct relief of the masses has
been set aside.
This establishment of the rank
and file of the veterans is overriding
the betrayals of the leaders of the
American Legion, Veterans of For
eign Wars and Disabled American
veterans in their opposition to the
united mass activities of the rank
and file and their support of the
unemployed and the poor farmer.

be fooled by the first victory. We
must organize this discomfort. We

Petition Filed
To Force Vote
On I'll. 1898
Lundeen in Last-Min-
ute Appeal for Support
of Insurance Bill

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Rep-
resentative Ernest Lundeen Of Min
nesota filed a petition today to COM
pei an immediate vote on the Work
ers' Unemployment and Social In
surance Bill Oh. r. 1899 in the
House Of Representatives.
At the same time Lundeen, who
introduced the bill and then con-
spicuously failed to defend it in
hearings before the House Labor
Committee. turned to the working
class for support of the measure,
urging more mass pressure" to
force representatives to sign his Pc
tition. A total of 145 must sign to
bring about the vote.
The Lundeen petition on the
Workers Bill is similar to that
which brought out of Committee
the Veterans Bonus Bill. Any rep
resentative can present such pc
tition whenever a committee re-
fuses to act upon bill within 80
legislative days.
ut is up to the unemployed, the
workers and everyone interested in
unemployment insurance" Lundeen
said, ito see that every member OF
Congress is informed that the Pc
tition for the vote on the Workers
Insurance Bill is on the Speaker of
the Houses desk, and that we want
it signed.
II like the Labor Committee of
the House." Lundeen said somewhat
apologetically. Then he added with
spirit, 'but the thirty legislative
days are up and they haven't acted,
so lost no time in filing the Pc
tition. I think the Labor Commit
tee must act favorably on the bill
but it's up to us to get the sig
natures on the petition
Lundeen's sudden concern for the
fate of the Workers Bill is another
reminder that the Congressional
elections, in which Lundeen must
face his Minnesota voters, thou
sands of whom are actively fighting
for the bill, come around next Fall.
1t is a fact, however, that the filing
of the petition gives every worker
an opportunity to make immediate
demands to the Congressman repre-
senting his district to support the
bill by signing the petition for an
immediate vote.

Representatives Forced
To OK Bonus, But
Fight Just Begins

NEW YORK.-Warning against
false hopes that may result among
war vets in view of the favorable
vote for the bonus bill in the House
of Representatives, the National
Committee of the Workers Ex-
Servicemen's League has issued a
statement calling for more inten-
sified action to force through real
decision on the bonus payments.
The statement points out that
due to the increased mass pressure
of the veterans throughout the
country, who are becoming aroused
because of their worsening condi-
lions, the Representatives were
forced to record a favorable vote
for the bonus. But having gone
this far, they hope it will be killed
by the Senate and the President.
The fight has only begun, de-
clares the Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League.
The statement appeals to the
rank and file of the veterans in all
organizations to develop mass dem
onstrations in every Congressional

British House
Votes to Meet
US. Navy Plan
To Match VinsOn Bill,
Build Navy Up to
Treaty Limit

LONDON. Mar. 13.-With the
votes of all but IS members, the
House of Commons last night passed
the British naval construction bill,
providing 1926, 849 ,875 to bring the
British navy up to full treaty
strength by 1886. The IS who did
not vote For" are Labor Party
Deputies.
But for the London Naval Treaty,
which expires in 1886, Great Britain
would be building an even more
powerful navy now, Sir Bolton
Eyres-Monsell told the House.
Following the lead of the Roose-
welt government which, through the
Vinson bill, is also building its navy
up to the treaty limits, all three
signers of the treaty, the U. S.,
Great Britain and Japan, will be
built up to the maximum, and ready
to go ahead in an even more gil
gantic race for power at the end of
next year.
TOXIC, Mar. 13.-Three members
of the crew of 100 of the torpedo
boat Tomotsuru were rescued last
night. None of the others who were
on the ship when it capsized in a
storm Sunday is expected to be
found alive.
The wrecking of this vessel re-
veals that Japan is embarked on a
substantial program of building
small heavily armed ships which,
being under 900 tons, are not linn
tied by any treaty. The armament
Of this ship, so heavy that it caused
it to cspsize, is almost equal to that
of the U. s. destroyers.
This type of ship is also being
built at a rapid rate by the United
States, Great Britain and France.
In the U. S. it is the type Of the
coast guard ships, which carry g.

Three companies of National Guard,

Nearly 1000 miners picketed

At Proter, Sheriff Alexander drew
his gun and threatened to shoot the
miners if they did not withdraw.
Brigadier General John C. Per-
