SHIP TOOK POWDER
TO CUBAN CAPITAL
Ward Line Official Tells
Board Government Got
Shipment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 28.-If
Cuban political groups used NUM-
tions shipped on the MORO Castle,
M. o. Fano of the Ward Line tes-
titled today. the government, not
revolutionists. must have used them.
Fano testified before the Federal
board which is investigating the
burning of the Moro Castle with a
loss of 1872 lives.
All munitions carried by the liner
were handled under permit received
from the customs house at New York
and were delivered at a customs house
in Havana, said the witness, who is
an assistant to the vice president of
the Ward line, operators of the MORO
Castle.
Dickerson N. Hoover, head of the
Inquiry Board, told Fano that he
was interested in munitions trans
portation on the Moro Castle to de-
temine whether the Ward Line had
incurred the enmity of any Cuban
political faction which might have
sought revenge by firing the ship.
Fano gave a detailed account OF
munitions carried by the MORO Castle
this year, and Hoover asked:
Were these shipments made be-
fore the embargo intended for the De
Jure government of Cuba or the revo-
lutionaries?''
The witness replied that he did not
think any munitions we're carried
after the embargo in July.

Walker Signs for Schmeling
Contest Here IN November

according to Diamond. 1t is the Ger
mans plan to seek match with the
winner of the Art Lasky-Steve Hamas
fight next Friday as step toward
another meeting with Max Baer.
Walker and Schmeling have battled
before. In September, 1882, their
fight was stopped in the eighth round
after both of Mickey's eyes were cut.
Up to that time it was a close affair
and Walker ever since has desired a
second shot at the Teuton. Their
Madison Square Garden bout drew a
$4,000 gate.
Walker" Diamond said today. "is
in great shape. Mickey has changed
his manner of living. He went through
his money and now must get down to
business to eat regularly. If Jacobs
agrees to this fight. you'll see real
one, at least so far as Mickey can
make it one"
Turner wired Jacobs in New York
last night, but has not yet received q
reply. Both he and Diamond were
confident the German would be
signed.

Mickey Walker, former worlds

round bout here sometime in Novem-

Turner is awaiting word from
Schmeling's manager, Joe Jacobs, on
an offer of $4,000 to meet Walker at
the Washington Auditorium. He de-
clared this bout should draw more
than $4,000.
Walkers manager, Lou Diamond,
looked over the Auditorium today and
agreed with Turner that arrangements
could be made to seat 5000. The ca
pacity at present is $500.

EVASION CHARGED
TO MILL OWNERS
German Says Peace Pledge
Is Open Invitation to
Discrimination.
BY the Associated Press.

Francis j. German, strike director
Of the United Textile Workers. today
accused George A. Sloan. head of
the Cotton Textile Institute, of sub
terfuge" in his statement promising
cooperation Of manufacturers with
the newly created Textile Labor Re-
lations Board.
German referred specifically to
Sloan's statement that the Cotton
Textile Code Authority had recon-
mended that as work becomes avail
able workers who did not engage in
lawless violence be re-employed."
This statement" German said, "is
q subterfuge in tackling the discrimi-
nation problem. In fact, it is an
open invitation to the employers to
discriminate. Who is to be the Judge
of those the employers claim engaged
in 'lawless violence and what does
the chairman Of the code authority
say about the indictments in Honea
Path, where the agents Of the en-
ployers are charged with the murder
Of our members"
Specific Cases Cited.
German said he had submitted to
the new board specific cases of dis
elimination which the union charges
against six mills in the Columbus,
Ca, area. The mills and the num-
Der of cases involved German listed
as "Bibb, 287; Muskogee, 48; Brady,
8: Eagle Phoenix, 147: Perkins, 2e,
and Swift, 80
Asserting that Sloan "has taken
upon himself the duties of the new
Textile Board" German said the final
decision on wages and hours will not
be decided by those who desire to keep
the textile workers on a wage basis
next door to the level Of poverty"
Citing Sloans reference to re-
employment of workers who did not
engage in violence, German said:
I'VE are certain that this sort of
camouflage and evasion will not fool
the Textile Board.
In the face Of terrific pressure
caused by this violent discrimination,
we are again urging our membership
to withhold strike action to get these
cases properly before the board for
their consideration.
"Strikes Will Not Help."/
"A renewal Of local strikes will not
help at the present time. When we
expressed our confidence in the Pres
ident's board we must be consistent
and not put handicaps in the way of
adjusting the great difficulties with
which it must contend"
In its pledge to cooperate in Gov
ernment efforts to carry out the peace
plan that ended the recent strike, the
industry late yesterday expressed be-
lief the new Textile Labor Relations
Board, named by President Roosevelt
to adjudicate disputes, was unneces-
sary.
