provides that the company must be

of any strike. 1t provides that in
the event of a stoppage of work the
unions shall leave enough men on
the job to take care of necessary

The agreement has many other
points which are subject to criticism
but the main thing is the purpose
for which this agreement was
brought forward at this time: To
provide a starting point for splitting
and strikebreaking maneuvers.
Frey and his colleagues, following
the standard official procedure,

get a majority OF the craft unions
to sanction the Washington agree

Publisher Withdraws
Application for Writ
To Restrain Picketing

STATEN ISLANDS. I. New
house, publisher of the Staten
Island Advance, withdrew his new
papers application for an injunc-
ton to restrain the Newspaper
Guild from picketing his establish
ment and carrying on mass actions
to force the reinstatement of Alex
ander Crosby, an editorial writer
who was fired by Newhouse for join
ing the Guild.
The withdrawal of the injunc-
ton application was considered by
the Guild as a victory resulting
from the pressure placed against
Mr.. Newhouse through Guild activi-
ties on Staten Island.
Meanwhile the fight for the re-
instatement of Crosby continues.
Sunday members of the Guild adj
dressed two Staten Island cham
pionship ball games from a sound
truck, calling on the sport fans to
be good sports and support the
newspaper men by refusing to buy
the Advance until Crosby gets his
lob back. Yesterday reporters pic
keted the Manhattan entrance to
the Staten Island Ferry. Mass meet
ings were to be held throughout the
Island last night.

Gust Workers
From Relief
Tax Hearing

NEW YORK.-After representa-
tives of working class organizations
had waited all afternoon to express
their opposition to the proposed
LaGuardia relief tax program and
to present an equitable plan of tax
alton for relief, The Chairman of
the Board of Aldermen hearing on
the relief tax in City Hall yesterday
arbitrarily closed all discussion of
opposition to the LaGuardia scheme
and called on the proponents.
Not one worker or representative
OF workers was allowed on the floor.
The board had spent all afternoon
listening to unlimited speeches by
Grover Whalen and his group of
business men who expressed oppo-
sition to LaGuardia's plan, in favor
OF a tax on subway riders.
Representatives of the United
Action Conference on Work, Relief
and Unemployment were not per-
mitted to say word. They were
merely allowed to file their names
as being opposed to the LaGuardia
tax. When Emanuel Levin, organ
izer of the United Front Confer
ence, and James Gaynor, chairman,
protested from the floor, they were
entirely ignored by the chairman,
who quickly called upon Welfare
Commissioner Hodson, supporter of
the LaGuardia relief tax. Levin,
Michael Davidon and George Walsh
were later elected forcibly from the
room by policemen.

Militarists
Ask Action
Army and Navy Circles
Chafe at Slow Pace
of Foreign Office

SHANGHAI, Aug. 81 (By Wire
Less differences on denouncing
the Washington naval pact and on
war plans against the U. S. S. R.
are sharpening between the Foreign
Ministry and the Naval Ministry of
Japan, according to Tokyo papers.
The Foreign Ministry insists on
the necessity of delaying the de-
nunciation of the naval treaty at
least until completion of negotia-
tons in October, the more so as
premature denunciation will create
the impression that the breakdown
of the naval conference is caused
by japanese actions.
The Naval Ministry insists on
more decisive actions" The role
of the japanese military clique,
which is driving the government to-
ward a more aggressive policy, can
be judged from the newspaper,
Teito Nichi Nichi, which speaks
about disagreements not only re-
garding denunciation of the Wash
ington agreement. This newspaper
also says that army and navy
circles are dissatisfied with the for
eign policy of the Okada govern
ment considering it "as not acting
sufficiently energetically before an
approaching crisis"
The paper writes: THE navy de-
mands denunciation Of the Wash
ington agreement, and the army in
sists on stronger action toward the
U. S. S. r. Day after day, discon-
tent with the Foreign Ministry is
becoming palmer. The army and
navy think it is necessary to re-
move all hindrances."
1T is extremely likely" concludes
this newspaper, that the forthcom-
ing negotiations between the War
Ministry and the Foreign Ministry
will be very stormy"

Trucknen
Talk Strike
Bosses Refuse Promised
Wage Rate-Three
Locals Act

NEW YORK.-A truckmen's strike
that will perhaps tie up all truck
service in Greater New York loomed
here yesterday when it was an
nounced that the joint executive
boards of Locals 807, 282 and 816
of the International Brotherhood
of Transfers and Chauffers were
to meet Friday night at Beethoven
Hall, 210 E. Fifth st. for a strike
vote.
The union contract with the
trucking associations expires on
Sept. /. The union men are de-
handing a new contract on the
basis of the 1929 wage scale. In
February, 1882, union leaders urged
the men to accept a IS wage reduc-
ton, with the understanding that
the cut would be returned in 1884.
Truck owners, however, now declare
that they will give no increases in
pay.
The fight of the union is directed
chiefly against three big trucking
associations: the Truckmens Bu-
reau, the Express Owners Associa-
ton and the Allied Trucking Asso-
citation. Men working for the
Truckmen's Bureau, who are re-
ceiving $40 a week, are demanding
a S. increase. Drivers for the Elk
press Owners Association are re-
ceiving $3.50 and are demanding
SO, $40 and $11 increases, according
to the sizes of the trucks.
Three locals that are initiating
the action are urging other locals
to join them in the fight. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 10000 trucks
in the city. There are $4,000 mem
bers in the three locals.

Production of Steel
Down to Is Per Cent
In Pittsburgh Mills

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 81
Steel, the key American industry,
has dropped to the slowest
tempo since March, 1893, reports
today showed. Steel activity in
the Pittsburgh area is only Is
per cent of capacity, as COM
pared to about 81 per cent for
the industry as a whole.
Steel has shown steady
downward curve for the past
three months. For May and
June production averaged 81 per
cent Of capacity. This sank to
about Is per cent in July and
kept dropping.
Automobile manufac tuners,
construction industry and rail-
roads are the greatest buyers of
steel. Slumps in all these in
dustries have in turn affected
steel sharply.
