SHOWDOWN IN
STRIKE NEARS
Presidents Arbitration Board
Struggles To Settle Dispute OF
Longshoremen.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. UP)
"A showdown in the troubled Pa
cific Coast maritime workers strike
was expected today as President
Roosevelt's labor board sought to
break a deadlock between striking
longshoremen and ship owners.
Archbishop Edward j. Hanna
and other members of the Presi-
dents board strove desperately to
effect peace as the deadline neared
for industrial leaders threatened
attempts to open the port of San
Francisco by force.
The port, together with those
from San Diego to Seattle, has
been closed to commerce since May
when $4,000 maritime workers,
led by longshoremen, struck.
Mediators succeeded in getting
the Industrial Association of San
Francisco to delay until Saturday
or Monday its threatened, forced
opening of the port.
Striking longshoremen modified
their demands for complete control
of hiring halls-the crux of dis
pute-but shipowners rejected the
overture, it was understood
Dissension developed in the ranks
of the strikers and the situation
became snarled almost beyond
solution as new outbreaks of viol-
ence gave evidence of the strife
that was to come should the medi-
ators fail.
Joseph P. Ryan, international
president of the international
Longshoremen's association, before
departing for New York, denounced
Harry Bridges, chairman of the
Joint strike committee authorized
to deal for 10 striking unions. Ryar
said Bridges doesn't want to END
this strike" and charged he was
blocking efforts at settlement.
Report More Violence
Bridges, meantime, rejected the
proposal of Andrew Furuseth, griz-
zled veteran of many labor bat
ties and leader of the Seaman'S
union, that strikers return to work
pending adjustment of the dispute
by the labor board. Bridges, ar
alien, was digruntled at Furuseth's
proposal.
Sporadic beatings of strikebreak-
ers. innocent victims of mistaken
identity, and special policemen con-
| tinued in San Francisco, Oakland
Portland, Seattle. Tear gas was
loosed at strikers and pickets al
Seattle, and a sailor was beater
! at Los Angeles harbor, only coast
port operating partly.
Labor's new proposal for operat-
ing hiring halls embraced forma-
ton of committee of three long
| shoremen and three employers ir
each port to determine policy ol
hiring and dispatching men, with
preference to I. l.. A. members
| over non-union longshoremen. Earl
ier the longshoremen had demand
ed complete control OF the hiring
halls.
O. K. Cushing, labor board mem
ber. said the board had submitted
to employers and workers separ-
ately questions which the boarc
asked them to answer at today's
conferences. He said a showdown II
| the dispute was expected.

RANCHERS ALSO WARNED

~ We are asking all cities. today
Immediately to fill up all their res
ervoirs to reserve capacity, M. j.
Dowd, chief engineer of the irri-
cation district told the board of
directors this mornir< Dowd add
ed that if conditions do not i'm
prove by Monday, all ranchers will
be notified to fill up their tanks
and other reservoirs with reserve
supply of water.
That the situation facing the
valley is critical was the opinion
expressed at the board meeting this
morning and it was the hope OF
the directors that the people of the
county would realize the situation
as it actually exists. 1t was point
ed out that one rancher was seen
sowing a crop this morning in spite
of the fact that the valley is fac
ing a water shortage within tne
next few days that will not be any
joking matter.
This situation can be relieved, IT
was further pointed out, only by
heavy rains in the upper water
sheds of the Colorado river ard
even should these come 1t would
take several days for the flow OF wa
ter to reach the valley.
Water for irrigation purposes VIII
be limited after next week it was
said and everyone in the valley will
be called upon to conserve whatever
supply of water that may be OH
hand in every possible way.
Phil Knights city engineer, III
commenting on the present situa-
tion this morning said that the re-
serve tanks at the city water plant
are now being filled He asks the
citizens to cooperate as much as
possible in the conservation OF the
city's supply by ceasing lawn lrr1-
CATION and in using the minimum
quantity to preserve trees.
The city engineer suggested tha'
residents use protective coatings O.
grass cuttings or some similar
means To be put around the wa
tered trees in order TO prevent TIC
rapid evaporation of the water
Residents can also reduce the
amount of consumption, knights
said by being careful in their
homes not to allow faucets to run
unnecessarily and further to have
all existing leaks stopped lmme-
diately,

Though the situation was SER

There we're half a dozen cir

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Cor-
dell Hull, secretary of state, today
put the blame for Germany's pre-
carious finances directly up to the
policies of the Nazi regime in
sharply worded note.
The note, with a frankness un-
usual in diplomatic exchanges, re-
ferred to extensive recent "Ger-
man foreign purchases of material
susceptible of military use" as one
of the reasons for the present fin
ancial distress.
The communication was in reply
and refutation to a German ex-
planation of the moratorium on in
terest and principal payments of
German bonds held by American
investors.
Hull took the German note apart,
excuse by excuse and found 1t
distinctly inadequate.
Hull discussed the policies of
Chancellor Adolph Hitler which he
blamed for the present state of af-
fairs.
"The asserted anxiety of the
German government to make every
effort to meet its obligations can
not be proven by a mere display of
its depleted balances, but must be
evident from an examination of
the whole trend and operation of
Germany policy Hull said.
"The narrow and exclusive con-
nection which the German govern
ment seeks to establish between
the payment of its external obli-
cations to American investors and
the correct state of the direct BIZ
lateral commodity trade balance
between the two countries seems to
this government a distinctly in
adequate approach to the problem. -
Hull pointed out that the Ger
man excuse that the reparations
drain had brought German finance
to its present condition, was not
applicable to loans floated in the
United States. The United States.
he said received no reparations and
loans furnished by U. S. capital
principally were used in recorstruc-
ton and moderniZation.

where he addressed a Purdue alumni
group, and where he is said to have
made a final decision on the matter,
Noble KiSer, Purdue athletic direc-

leave the Boilermaker school to
coach football at Ohio State.
He will, however. conduct sum-
mer football school at the Buckeye
institution. Kizer is thought to have
conferred with L. w. st. John, Ohio
State athletic director. in Chicago,
and finally refused whatever offer
was made to him to leave Purdue

Kizer said last night that he
thought an attack by Purdue alumni
on Ohio State for trying to WOO him
from Lafayette was unjustified,
stating that Buckeye advances were
legitimate and made through regu-
lar channels.

New York. Schulz is best known in
