UNION OFFICES
 IS CAPITAL
Washington Now Center of Nations Labor
 Affairs

Washington-Signalizing the in- creasing importance of Washington as a center of labor affairs. the United Mine Workers of America have just completed transfer of their entire national offices here.
 The national officers and a cler- ical staff of 30 are established in suites occupying an entire floor of one of Washington's most modern office buildings.
 President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers has a hand somely -panelled private office, with deep carpets and richly uphol- stered furniture. The entire cost of furnishing his office was borne by one of the district unions in West Virginia.
 The United Mine Workers - largest and one of the most power full of all American unions-main- tained headquarters in Indianapolis for years. As ational labor legisla- ton became increasingly impor- tant, and especially since the birth l of NRA, union leaders found their presence here continually impera- tive. Lewis and his aides have been here most of the time since MIRA | started. For months the union maintained what amounted to a branch headquarters in one of the capital hotels.
 Union officials believe the saving in hotel and travelling expenses will make the move to Washington an economy measure in the long run
 The union now has a member ship of close to 600,00O, topping the previous high of 557,000 ir 1920. Membership has been prac- tically doubled in the last year and a half. Aided by NRA, every inn portant field now has been organ 1 iZed.

 Jaeger May Be Chairman The name of eX-Alderman Jaeg- CT was mentioned today as pos sible choice for the office of town chairman. However, this was de- nied by the party leaders who said that their choice would be Attor- ney Palomba, who is also expected to be elected a member of the g. 0. D. state central committee, talk ing the place that will be made vacant by the resignation of Attor- ney T. E. Conway.
 No successor to Mrs Julius B. Smith. member of the central com mittee from the 18th senatorial district, which is controlled by the new group. has been decided upon. She is scheduled to go. however. The name of Mrs Mabel Preusser was mentioned prominently today for the post.
 In the 18th district. still con- trolled by the Organization" forces, Mayor William H. Sand land and Mrs Lura M. Dutton are expected to be reelected to the cen- tral committee.
 Mrs Sherwood in Lead
 Mrs John c. Sherwood appeared to be the leading candidate for the vice. of the town com mittee today. Many party leaders felt confident that Miss Mary Franklin would be dropped as sec- retary of the town committee despite efforts on the party of many to have her retained.
 Adam Callan, treasurer of the reorganization" group was re- ported today as being likely to be elected treasurer of the new town committee. succeeding the incum- bent. Fred Packard.

Greatest Walkout
 M Labor History
tcontinued from Page l,

Although the strike call will be for midnight. tomorrow, the mills will be closed normally Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Labor Day). so that it's actual effects will not become apparent until Tuesday.
 While calling upon the workers to be peaceful. union leaders in the some breath expressed fears of vio- lence in the South and in New England. They mentioned private detective agency thugs and in- dicated belief that riots were more than possible.
 Today the executive council of the textile workers was to con- slider whether to call out woolen, Worsted. silk and rayon opera tives, along with the cotton mill hands. German said conditions in all branches of the industry were "intolerable," and indicated that the walkout would affect all.
 Negotiations Collapse
 The crisis reached its head when negotiations begun by the National Labor Relations oBard collapsed. Chairman Lloyd Garrison invited stitute and the union leaders to AhSNS "Aeh tO1oy to oSSA - route toward peace.
 George A. Sloan, chairman of the institute, replied that he could attend no such conference in an official capacity, German an- nounced that If Sloan felt that way. peace negotiations were off and that there would be no use in this meeting Garrison again.
 In a message to Sloan in New York, Garrison expressed regret that the Institute is not willing to attend the conference proposed by us for the sole purpose of ex- ploring the possibilities of averting the strike upon some just basis and in the public interest"
 Even while admitting that the strike could not be forestalled, Garrison and other governmental officers pushed plans to end it as soon as possible. The program de- pended tentatively upon appoint ment of a committee representing the Labor Board, the Department of Labor and the National Recov- cry Administration.
 The latter body, probably to be composed of three men, would en- quire into the complaints of the workers, consider the position of the mill owners and make recon. mendations seeking a comprom- ise.
 What Unions Demand
 The unon insists that working hours be shortened from 40 hours a week to 30. that the present wage scale be continued. and that the "stretchout." whereby the workers have been forced to speed up pro- duction, be abolished.
 It also demands that the United Textile Workers be acknowledged as the bargaining agency for tex tile labor and that an impartial board be established to settle any further disputes.
 There were reports that several mills in New England intended to beat the workers to the gun by closing their mills before the strike became effective. In South Cato- lima the National Guard was called to watch what the governor feared might become a threatening sit. uation.
 Governor Ira c. Blackwood or. dered a company of Guardsmen from Greenville to Seneca after he had received reports that workers seeking to return to their jobs ht the Lonsdale Textile Mills had been threatened.

Dr William Howley, now dead is credited with originating the city's one-time slogan, There isl one Ann Arbor." Some 25 years ago a competition was strated by the then Board of Commerce. to obtain a good slogan for the city.
 Dr Howley's idea was selected as the best. He was quite elated. The idea caught and the town adopted the phrase. Business men had their stationery imprinted with the slogan. Merchandise pro- duced here was stamped with the words of the slogan.
