TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE TO BE
CALLED BEFORE NEXT SATURDAY

tive council of the textile workers
in special session here Wednesday
to discuss final plans for the walk
out.
Sees No Solution
The special strike committee,
which was in session most of last
night continued its meeting today,
with members bleary-eyed from
lack of sleep.
German, face deeply lined and
voice tired said he was confident
that no solution to the workers
trouble could be found while the
mills still were running.
I'VE attribute this to several
causes including the absolute re-
fusal on the part of the reac-
tionaries within the industry to
carry out the principles of the
National Industrial Recovery Act"
he said. "They have Haunted the
economic and humane provisions
of the act and in desperation have
tried to even up their costs by i'm
posing excessive task burdens on
the backs of the workers"
Concerning the statement of
George A. Sloan, chairman of the
Textile Institute, that a strike is
"inconceivable," German said:
THE strike itself will answer the
uncomfortable part of what Sloan
has to say"

committG of the United Textile

Gorman'S statement Indicated
strike leaders virtually had COM

did not expect mediation attempts
by the government would be sue
cassful in averting the strike.
He said that under instructions
of the strike convention in New
York recently, he could not divulge
the hour of the walkout until "a
hours before.
The strike must be called on or
before September l." he continued.
The date has been set by the
strike committee. 1t did not begin
today and it will not begin to-
morrow. 1t must begin bby Satur-

begin before Saturday. The i'm
portant fact is that the strike will

OIL INDUSTRY
Says Further Action By Govern
ment Coming If Conservation
Not Practiced.

TITUSVILLE, Pa, Aug. 27-tU.P)
Harold Ickes, secretary of the in
terror, in an address prepared for
delivery at Drake Well memorial
park here today. scored rugged
individualism" and unrestricted
competition"
He warned of further government
interference if the future of the oil
industry were endangered by a
small lawless minority
THE greed of men for quick prof
it's" he said, without thought for
the welfare of the country :.
has been defended by a school OF
political thought which has eu-
phemistically applied the term
rugged individualism to unpatriot-
ic greed, ruthless waste and un-
paralleled selfishness."
Ickes explained that as much as
go and 80 per cent of the oil is
lost and abandoned in the sands. =
Scoring the lack of conservation in
the industry, he told of wells from
which billions of cubic feet of
natural gas were allowed to blow
into the air as owners waited for
oil
Oil men are beginning to real
ize, Ickes said. that reasonable
and regular profits" were prefer
able to a system of uncertain,
fluctuating profits, with unrestrict-
ed competition striking down the
weak and undermining even the

Nation Interested
The nation has a paramount
interest in OIL" Ickes said. at is
absolutely indispensable as a vital
element in our national defense.
This interest must be maintained
happily, if it may be, but never

Ickes explained a spirit of "un-
derstandlng and cooperation" ex-
lists between the government and a
majority of petroleum workers. He
said the government entered into
the oil industry primarily as the
"conservator of the public inter-
ests."
Industry leaders are realizing
that labor must be treated fairly
and given an adequate return OUT
of the profits of the industry; that
there must be square dealing and a
proper regard by all for the rights
of competitors; that the production
of petroleum is not a right
personal to any man or group Of
men," he declared.

HAS
EYE ON SAAR

COBLENZ, Germany. Aug. 81
U.P-Germany's determination to
regain the Saar territory in next
Januarys plebiscite was revealed
with new clarity today after a stir
ring speech by Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler. who made a gesture OF
friendship toward France.
The speech made it evident that
NaZi Germany visualizes no alter
native in the Saar plebiscite To full
return to German nationality
Hitlers plea for friendship with
France was accompanied by the
qualification that it must be friend
ship with equality and his whole
speech implied a certainty that the
rich little Saar territory, awarded
to France for Is years in compensa-
ton for coal mines which the Ger
man army destroyed in the World
War, must again go back to the
reich.
1t was perhaps the fullest out
line of policy that Hitler has made
in any speech since the death OF
President Won Hindenburg cleared
the way for him to assume the
joint offices of president and chan
cellor.
Hitler emphasized the nations
unity under Nazism.
Hitler climaXed his speech with
his plea for an understanding with
France-"Laying the groundwork
for a lasting peace between these
two great peoples"
"The Saar question" he said, "ls
the only remaining territorial prob
lem between France and Germany
and it is no reason for an eternal
feud bteween two great peoples"

IN HOLD-UP
Continued On Page 81

While sitting with a companion
in a parked automobile on Tenth
street between Brighton and Holt

held up by two masked bandits, he
told police after making his way
back to town, following the hold

II O'Clock the two men drove up
beside his parked car and told him
a holdup was being staged. One OF
the men sat in the bandit car and
held a gun which covered Freeman
and his companion. They we're
commanded to get out of the ma
chine and were then robbed. The
bandits took about $27 in currency
and $4 in silver from Freeman, ac-
cording to the police report, Wal
than watch, knife and the keys
to the car. Bet.)re leaving they
damaged the piston head of Free
mans car so that it could not be
started.

ated by the bandits was stolen as

given by a witness who stated he
saw two men take car from the
Edgar Brother used car lot at 3
O'Clock last night and drive away
in it, 1t was a tan-colored ma
chine, police were told. The two

vent just such thefts.
No description could be given of

chiefs over their faces.

DECISION On
DIESEL PLANT
Judge o. K. Morton Allows Ten
Days For Plaintiffs To Amend
Complaint.
CASE ARGUED LAST JUNE
Right To Construct Brawley
Station Attacked By Southern
Sierras Company.

Word has just beao received
here that the demurrer nled by
the irrigation district against the
suit brought by the Southern ST.
erras Power company relative to
the standby power plant to be built
in BraWley, has been sustained by
Judge o. K. Morton of Riverside.
The order sustaining this demurrer
allows the plaintiffs 10 days within
which TO amend their complaint
against the district.
This complaint was filed in the
local superior court on May 8 of
this year. 1t alleges that the con-
tract entered into between the ir-
rigation district board of directors
and the Hooven, Ovens, Rent
schler company for the installa-
ton Of a diesel standby plant is
illegal in that it was entered into
without bids having been called for
and no bond required of the COM
pany entering into the contract
with the district.
1t alleges further that by this
contract the irrigation district
would be put into the class of
,purveyor Of electrical energy which
is entirely unrelated to it's function
of supplying water for irrigation
| purposes. The court was asked 10
declare this contract as being null
and void and that the district be
perpetually enjoined and restrained
from taking any further money out
Of the public funds of the district
under this contract or in connec-
ton with any acts contemplated to
carry out its purpose.
The defendant company named
in the complaint should repay to
the district the $4,000 already ex-
pended as down payment on the
contract, according to the COM
plant.
Filed by Horton
Harry W. Horton, chief counsel
for the district, filed his demurrer
to this complaint on May 81. Judge
o. K. Morton of Riverside county
was appointed by the state judicial
council to hear the action and the
demurrer was argued before hm on
June Il. At the close of this hear
ing Judge Morton took the matter
under submission, asking attor-
neys on each side to file briefs
within 10 days.
In his argument in support of
the demurrer before Judge Morton.
Horton maintained that owing to
it's size, the Imperial Irrigation
district is not bound by the laws
pertaining to smaller districts. He
pointed out that in this regard the
local district can take certain ac-
