recovery of Mr.. and Mrs. F. R.

crash at Dixon, near here last
night.
Mrs. McCafferty and her hus-
band are in serious, but not criti-

ABOARD U. S. C. G. c. ARGO,
OFF NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. "a.
U.P)-The United States crashed
into the lead Tor the first time in
the America IS cup series today
when Harold Vanderbilt sent his
cleaning white defender, Rainbow,
heeling over the line ahead of Tom
Sopwith S blue-hulled British chal-
lenger, Endeavour, for Rainbow S
third straight triumph.
The series now stands three vic

Rainbow outsailed the challen-
ger from the start. She stepped

deavour' big spnnaker as they
gli6ed over the starting line.

NRA BOSS IS
TARGET FROM
MANY ANGLES
Belief That NRA Is Political LA
bility May Lead To Its Sup
preston By Administration.
ONE-MAN RULE SCORED
Dispute May Be Carried To Con-
gress Unless President Acts Ia
Matter Before January.
By LYLE C. WILSON
ited Press Staff CorrespOndpr,


WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, due back today
at his job of bossing NRA, will
find his organization in confusion
and his own days in the Blue
Eagle IS nest numbered.
Odds are better than even that
the famous initials "NRA" will
be abandoned altogether in the
Forthcoming reorganization.
Some influential persons believe
NRA has become a political habil-
ity and that the sooner its identity
is extinguished the better for the
administration. But with the po-
litical tide as tested in Maine and
elsewhere flowing strongly with
President Roosevelt, there is no ne
cesSity for summary execution be-
fore the November elections
Whatever happens to NRA, some
of its features-prohibition of child
labor, limited degree of industrial
government, guarantee of
labor IS rights-will be continued as
t'new deal" policy.
In place of a one-man rule by
johnson a separation of policy
making and administration has
been proposed.
OvershadoWing Johnson IS per-
2 sonal fortunes as he returns to the
job is bitter dispute developing
between labor and industry over
NRA'S future. Disagreement Gen.
ters around section IA, the Ma
ticnal Industrial Recovery Act
guarantee that labor shall have the
right to bargain collectively.
Limitations Asked
The NRA committee of the Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce
took the initiative this weekend in
demand for drastic limitation of
MIRA scope. The. recommendation
was accompanied by a prayerful
cntreaty for an amendment of the
labor clauses of the act. Industry
wants to break the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor toe-hold on future
unionization of workers. Industry
points out that membership in the
prescribed company unions" may
not be made a condition to en-
ployment Therefore, it is insist
ing that neither shall employees
be compelled TO join the American
Federation of Labor or any other
union to obtain a job.
Organized labor's counter often
sive will be launched next week
from San Francisco where the A.
F. of l.. meets in annual conven-
ton.
Unless Mr.. Roosevelt takes a def
mite position on this question be-
fore January the dispute will be
carried into congress. Meantime
there is no reason TO believe that
the strike epidemic has ended.

ADOPTED At
MEET TODAY
Asks Alien Quota On Work And
Relief Be Limited To 10 Per
Cent OF Total Number Work
ing.
STATE AID ENLISTED
Present Conditions Urge Move
Following Example Of Other
Nations.

In a resolution adopted by the
board of county supervisors today
recommendation is made that laws
be drawn up and, if necessary,
constitutional amendment be draft
ed which might be the means of
bringing about condition where it
will be declared unlawful for any
one in the county to employ aliens
on any or all projects, both public
and private, in a proportion not to
exceed 10 per cent of the total num-
ber of men employed.
The supervisors would have this
limitation extended to operations of
individuals as we'll as groups oper-
ating not only in the county but
throughout the entire state as well.
Copies of this resolution were or
dered sent to Governor Merriam, to
the state legislature, to each coun-
ty board of supervisors, to the state
supervisors association and cham
ber of commerce, and also to all in
terested civic organizations through
out the county and state.
Behind this move on the part of
the county board stands the large
number of unemployed American
citizens at present residing in this
county with like numbers in other
counties of the state. This situation,
the resolution ayers, cannot be
cleared up so long as aliens are
placed on almost the same footing,
from labor or relief point of view,
with American residents of the
county.
The resolution points out, further,
that according to a survey made in
the county many aliens are given
places on the relief rolls and en-
ployment at the expense of Ameri-
can citizens and taxpayers, in many
instances causing the latter to be
without employment of any kind.
Another paragraph of the reSolu-
ticn points out that it is impossible
for American citizens to obtain en-
ployment in practically all foreign
countries because of laws protecting
nationals of these countries by linn
iting the percentag of outsiders
who might come into such countries
and obtain employment.
With conditions as exist here at
present. it is felt that justice to the
American workmen and taxpayers
demands that similar regulations
be enacted here to give the same
protection to workmen of this coun-
try.

MANY RE TURN
To WORK AS
STRIKE: ENDS

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. U.p) -
Back to their looms today went
thousands of textile workers with
the greatest strike of the New Deal
at an end and a new fight for un-
ionization of every operative in the
vast industry just beginning.
Though the strike is over, labor's
challenge to the industry will be in
tensified, Francis J. German, Uni
ted Textile workers vice president
who directed the vast walkout,
warned manufacturers.
He set his goal at 100000 union
members. The union now has about
100000.
The cost of the conflict, one OF
the bitterest and most far flung IN
modern American industrial annals.
was set today at 16 dead, more than
200 wounded, Si5,0000 600 lost in wa
geS and uncounted millions lost IN
business. In addition thousands OF
dollars of property was DESTROYED
and considerable sums spent for
militia, special guards and deputies.
Gorman's goal, If achieved, would
make the textile union the largest
unit in organized labor IN the coun'
try. It would also make German one
of the most powerful OF labor
! spokesmen.
Manufacturers are certain 10 re-
sist unlonization vigorously.
Among the questions atill TO be
settled is that OF industry's accept
ance of the peace plan Of the Win
ant mediation board. The union &C
cepted this as basis Of ending the
strike The manufacturers. while
generally expected 70 approve H..

SWORDFISH ON
EXHIBIT HERE

Caught or bought? That is the
question on the lips of local fisher
men today after viewing the $50
pound, 8 foot swordfish exhibited at
Clements drug store.
Fred Gianola swears by all that's
holy, and otherwise, that he snagged
the monster after a terrific battle
last Saturday. He exhibits callouses
AID blisters on his hands caused by
the work entailed in bringing in the
fish. Others, probably led by envy
claim that Fred obtained the fish
by means other than hauling 1t
out of the briny deep himself.
However, the fish is here and
there's no dispute about that fact.
