of President Roosevelt, I am sure the
way is prepared for closer commercial
association" he said.

Fight to Finish
BetUeen Industry
and Labor Feared
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Threats of a finish fight this Sum-
mer between industry and labor
unions-with the battle lines extend
ing across the Nation-stirTed the
Capital today.
News of deaths in Toledo-where
troops fired on strikers in savage riot
ing-came on the heels Of threat of
a general strike in steel unless en-
ployers recognize the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, told
newsmen things looked very ominous
indeed" Some Government officials
reluctantly agreed.
U. S. Aides Give Warning.
Hugh s. johnson has warned OF
the danger Of a possible epidemic ol
strikes; so has Secretary of Labor
Perkins.
From Senator Wagner. Democrat
of New York, came an assertion that
passage of his labor disputes bill, now
in Congress, was urgent. This would
strengthen the hand Of the National
Labor Board and strike at company
dominated unions. Indications were
that Senator Walsh, Democrat, OF
Massachusetts,, chairman of the La Dor
Committee, would report it to the SEN
ate soon, in somewhat revised fern
It has aroused much opposition by in
dustry. Chances of its passage this
session have been considered profile
matical
Secretary Perkins hoped Charles P
Taft. son Of the late President Taft
would succeed in stopping the strife in
Toledo. She named him special me-
diator yesterday.
Unionism Factor.
It was around the question oi
unionism that labor leaders and some
Government officials feared a finish
fight. Unions, pointing to N. f. A
provisions guaranteeing workers the
right to organize without coercion
have collided in many cases with en-
plOyeTS whose interpretations VI tlIe
law have differed from those Of labor
leaders.
The Toledo affair is bound to have
a repercussion in all industrial centers
and will serve to inf1ame the minds OF
the workers everywhere" Green said
yesterday. II have been doing all
could to bring about settlement, but
have not succeeded, owing to the un-
yielding, stubborn attitude OF the
employers"
Green said that the men originally
involved in Toledo had been on strike
since February or March and had
been "goaded to desperation" by the
refusal of the management to bargain
with them-"so much so that other
laboring people have been aroused"

Q. Z. Dodd, roll call chairman IS
in charge OF the campaign. A fun
list Of workers and their assign
ments will appear In The Herald
next week. Active canvass will be
under way Tuesday and the chair
man hopes TO be able to complete
the work by Thanksgiving.
Chairman D0dd Is enthusiastic
over the prospects OF the campaign
and feels that Brownsville and
community should lend unstinted
assistance in enrolling q fine men,
bership and securing q Substantial
fund for local relief. Last year
through the ~liberality Of the citi-
zens. even under such dire circum-
stances. as followed the September
hurricane. the solicitors secured an
encouraging response to the roll
call appeal. and the business men
especially the lumber dealers or the
city. gave a liberal donation for the
chapters use in providing local
relief.
This year "A far larger number OF
citizens should enroll as members
and as conditions are much better
the donations should be many more
and equally as liberal. The executive
board OF the chapter feels that the
needs for the coming year will be
as many. and likely more. than have
been met this year. The local bud
get can scarcely be cut a dollar. and
on the other hand. IN there Is e cur
tailment OF federal and state relief
as now seems positively certain. there
viii likely be a double demand for
help make on the Red Cross.
In the light Of this. Mr.. Dodd
urges the citizenship to lend its full
cooperation In this campaign. The
workers will be gathered from our
finist, busiest women. who will lay
aside their home duties and social
engagements to give their services
to the cause OF humanity through
this channel. They are due every
courtesy and cooperation the pub
lie can possibly show them. They
will be on the streets and at your
doors this week to receive your en-
rollment and your donation.
PromptnesS and cooperation VII

hasten Its completion. III they fail
to see you when they call. just re-
members that your enrolment end
