KEY" STRIKE SETTLED.

DETROIT, April 10 R.-A key"
strike that threw 23,400 automobile
workers out Of their jobs has been set
tied, but mediators looked anxiously
today toward a threatened walkout in
the vital tool and die industry.
William Collins, American Fedora
ton of Labor leader, announced last
night that striking employees of the
Motor Pr0iucts Corporation had
agreed to return to work this morning
at a 10 per cent increase In wages.
This dispute involved 1000 strikers
and 1900 others laid of because of
the walkout.
In line with the agreement, the
Motor Products employees filed back to
their benches this morning. There
was no disorder.
Edward F. McGrady, N. r. A. rep
resentative of Gen. Hugh s. johnson,
played prominent part in this settle
ment, which was regarded as q dis
tinct step toward peace in the motor
car industry.
The strike in the Motor Products
plant, which makes auto parts, had
thrown $4,000 men out of work in the
Hudson factory Yesterday because of
inability to get materials. The Hudson
factory was expected to resume work
late today or tomorrow.
A threat of a strike of tool and die
makers who want 20 per cent wage
boost became the next hurdle for the
peacemakers. The Mechanics Edu-
cational Society of America may call
these workers out on Thursday in
Detroit. Pontiac and Flint II the job
shops in which they are employed re-
fuse to meet the demand.
Union estimates of the number Of
men who may be directly involved by
this strike run as high as $4,000.

adjourned itself until April 80.
The committee members reached the
understanding that Arthur Hender-

Warns Of Danger.
In the course Of the session, Hem
derson conjured up for the delegates
the specter Of another world war, and
he warned them that they must do
their utmost to prevent an interna-
tional catastrophe.
Disarmament, the Briton said, is a
world problem "only to be solved by
universal agreement" and he insisted
any program must include the United
states, Japan and Russia.

Stein characterized the situation as
disquieting.
He told them there must be a
universal treaty Of disarmament, de-
scribing 1t as q world problem. He
f1ayed verbally that section of public
opinion which declares the military
situation hopeless and the conference
useless.
That section, he said, "contemplates

CANNON COUNSEL
ABSOLVES WOMAN
Churchman Will Shoulder
All Blame in Handling
of Contributions,

Full responsibility for handling con-
tributions during his 1928 anti-Smith
campaign was shouldered by Bishop
James Cannon. jr, in District Su-
preme Court today as he absolved his
secretary, Miss Ada L. Burroughs, of
any responsibility and promised to
show that he was innocent Of any
misconduct himself.
Bishop Cannon's position was set
forth by his attorney, Robert H. Nc
Neill. as he and Miss Burroughs en-
tered the second day of their trial on
charges Of conspiring to violate the
Federal corrupt practices act. The
conspiracy charge u based on the fl
ing Of an allegedly improper report
to the House Of Representatives Of Q
SIS. 800 contribution made to q Po-
litical Committee headed by Cannon
in 1928 by e. c. Jameson, wealthy
New Yorker.
In opening the case yesterday, As
ststant United States Attorney John
]. Wilson told the Jury the Govern
ment expected to prove that Cannon
converted to his own use q consider
able portion OF the Jameson contribu-
ton.
Telegram Sent to Jameson.
In his opening statement to the
jury, McNeill promised the defense
would show Bishop Cannon had never
reported to Miss Burroughs or given
her the slightest information about
the Jameson contribution. He said
Cannon sent a telegram to Jameson,
saying: Il spent SIT 900 of your money
through the General Committee of
the Anti-Smith Democrats. The bal
ance was spent by me to carry Vir-
ginia for Herbert Hoover"
The attorney said it would be shown
Cannon gave a memorandum similar
to the telegram to Miss Burroughs
ana told her that was what she should
report to the House. I'VE will prove
that was the first time Miss Burroughs
ever heard Of the Jameson contribu-
tion," McNeill declared.
The attorney then indicated that
Bishop Cannon's personal defense
would be along two lines.
He said the bishop would admit his
leadership of the flight by a group
Of Southern Democrats to defeat Al
fred E. Smith, their party's candidate
for President of the United States In
1928.
Conversion Not Charged.
The defense by Bishop Cannon to
the specific charge In the indictment
will be that only $17,300 Of the jane
son contribution was reported to the
House because only that much was
spent in the general fight against
Smith throughout the fight in the
South. The balance of the money.
McNeill said, was spent in Virginia
alone and the law does not require
that such expenditures be reported.
McNeill pointed out that Bishop
Cannon Is not charged in the indict-
ment with converting any part of the
Jameson contribution and expressed
regret that this matter had been
brought into the case. But" he con-
tinued, "since the Government has
dragged this shameful matter before
you, feel that in justice to my client
] must show you members of the jury
that he at no time converted q single
penny Of this money"

BEHIND ESTIMATES
Lacks Billions Of Budget
Figures Made by
Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Government borrowing Is running
billions behind President Roosevelt's
budget estimate of $4,000, ,0oo, 900 for
the first half Of 1884.
In more than three months, the
Treasury has borrowed $2,250, 900 900
of new money" and is pretty well
fixed with cash for some weeks to
come.
Mr.. Roosevelt estimated the Gov
ernment would need $4,000, 600 900 Of
new money" in the six months end
ing June 80.
During the same period the Govern
ment has raised 81 l,500, ,000, 900 to re-
tire maturing securities. The Presi-
dents budget counted on $4,000, ,000.-
600 for the half year.
Including the billion dollar Fourth
Liberty maturity on April Is and .
quarter billion in notes due May 2,
Treasury financing for four Of the six
months will be only around $5,000,-
100000.
A stacking in emergency spending
during February and March provides
the explanation for the much-reduced
flotations.
The ledger book Of the Government
today looks something like this:
Debit-$26, ,160, ,000. 900 in outstand-
ing obligations-known as the public
debt.
