Textile Labor Heads Expect
Uncle Sam to Finance WaIkOut

Copyright. 1884 by the Associated PressJ
ATLANTA, August 25.-Labor lead
ers today said they expected the Fed
eral Government, through the Emer-
gency Relief Administration, to finance
the textile strike ordered into effect
next week.
At a conference in the Office of
George L. Googe, Southern represen-
tative of the American Federation OF
Labor, it was made plain that now
is considered opportune for strike
involving a national industry, since
the Government has pledged itself to

The United Textile Workers, order
ing the strike, has less than 81 ,000,0 900

money and the national fund would
last but short time. The workers,

TRIO AND ARSENAL
CAPTURED IN D. c.
Texan Styles Self as Jail
Breaking Bank Bandit in
Raid Here.

A 21-year- old Texan, who called
himself a jail-breaking bank bandit
and who said he came East to make
his way with two young Western pals
and small arsenal, was just another
ex-bandit today after Washington de-
tectives beat him to the draw last
night and captured his whole outfit.
The young Texans had been living
the life of Riley" here, detectives said,
since they arrived Wednesday with
$500 and yen for night life in big
city. They seem to have put pleasure
before business, as they had only $75
in their treasury last night.
Detectives walked in on the youths
while they chatted in their boarding
house room. Detective Sergt. Michael
Mahaney said the self-styled bank
robber, one Robert L. Anderson of
Temple, Tex, reached for his gun
Fasteners Too Fast.
But the Easterner was too fast on
the draw Mahaney had the drop
on the youths, an instant before
his companions, Detectives Thomas
Sweeney and Paul Jones, crowded In
behind him. Then they all went
down to headquarters to talk it ove-.
Before the party left, however. the
officers seized a sawed-off shot gun,
30-30 rifle-both with taped handles
two automatic pistols and an old
type revolver, along with several hum
dred rounds of ammunition. Some
of the bullets had been notched, like
the celebrated "dum dums" of the
World War.
At, headquarters Anderson modeStly
disclosed he was the bandit who
helped knock off" a bank at Tolar,
Tex, taking $4,000. He added he led
three prisoners in break from the
State prison at Waco several months
ago. Anderson said he accomplished
this with the aid of pistol smuggled
from the outside, police said.
Claim Barrows Link.
Among other things, Anderson init
mated he was associated in various
enterprises with Clyde Barrows and
Bonnie Parker, the gangster sweet
hearts who fell under a hail of police
lead in Louisiana several months ago.
He seemed vague as to details, how
ever.
A wire to Capt. Leon Hannah of the
Texas Ranger station at Denton
elected reply that authorities there
wanted Anderson. An Associated Press
dispatch from Fort Worth said no
Robert l.. Anderson broke Jail at Waco,
nor did such a person rob a Tolar
bank, so far as police there know.
The others described themselves as
Linden Floyd Boyle, 81, and Roy F.
Moreland, Is, both of Fort Worth.
They denied any connection with
crime. The youths came here in
car bearing Texas tags.
The trio was tracked down on in
formation received four days ago. Of
ficers declined to reveal the source of
the information or the location of the
boarding house, other than to say it
was in a respectable neighborhood.
Inspector Frank S. w. Burke said
last night he was arranging a spe-
cial lineup for the visitors at head
quarters tomorrow, when victims Of
recent hold-ups in the vicinity will
be invited to scan their faces.

President Roosevelt was told yester-

cannot copy Europe's methods of car
ing for the jobless, the aged and the
INDECENT.
Instead, Harry L. Hopkins told the
President, there must be an "Ameri-

He promised, too, that within 80
days there would be report from the
Presidential Committee on Social Sc
curity. This report will furnish the
basis for comprehensive social legis-

tion at the next session of Congress.

Meanwhile, Hopkins will visit Pres
ident Roosevelt at Hyde Park for an
overnight stay late next week. This
will be made the occasion for con-
tinuation of yesterdays discussions
and consideration of the products of

From the latter he cleaned several
ideas which may prove helpful, but
on the whole he came to the con-
clusion that much larger and differ

require solution peculiar to his own
country.

Union mobilization for a general
walkout in the cotton textile industry
gained such momentum yesterday
that a cripplng strike appeared almost
inevitable.
Mass meetings Of union workers
were held in affected areas. Posters
proclaiming the strike order were sent
to all local secretaries to be guarded
until the actual strike order is issued.
Hope that the walkout Of possibly
100000 men might be averted by the
National Labor Relations Board

chairman of the unions Strike Com
mittee, told newspaper men that I'VE
are not thinking of that board in
connection with the present crisis"
No Moves Contemplated.
"No moves have been made, and 1t
is not easy to see how any can be
made" he added. I'VE have none in
contemplation and we are moving
ahead steadily and rapidly with plans
for complete stoppage of work within
the time set."
Nevertheless, a belief that Chair
man Garrison of the National Labor
Relations Board would intervene
shortly in the strike situation was
heightened last night when, for the
second time in "a hours, he sum-
moned German for a further discus
sion of labor's grievances.
however, that the discussion with
Garrison had not altered the stu
alton, and he reiterated his belief the
walkout would take place within the
time seton or before September /.
German indicated that while the
door was not closed to negotiations
with Garrison's board, in which mem
bers of the Strike Committee privately
have expressed confidence, he felt the
strike would not be called of through
negotiation.
Fed up on Promises"
I'VE are fed up on promises" he
said, adding that while the committee
would negotiate If invited, the strike
plan would not be altered unless the
committees demands were met.
In response to the question, do you

Seen Reused by Staying of Doll

Retribution.

VIENNA, August 25.-A high Nazi
leader tonight predicted "the next in
surrection will be bloodier than the
last" as Austria's Christian authori-
tative government, determined to
avenge the assassination of Chancel-
lor Engelbert Dollfuss one month ago
today, rallied It's forces to stamp out
all opposition.
Now that the German plebiscite is
over" the NaI leader, who asked
that his name be withheld for reasons
of security, said bluntly, I'VE are
awaiting orders from Adolf Hitler to
start the next revolution"
1T will surely succeed where the
last failed" he added.
There will be fierce reprisals for
the hanging of our Nazi comrades"
Twelve Nazis Hanged.
One month ago today Nazi rebels
stormed Viennas federal chancellory,
pumped two bullets into Dollfuss' tiny
body and stood by while he died, his
last thoughts for Austria.
Tonight, the records showed, his
Nazi enemies had paid amply for the
abortive revolt that brought death
to Dollfuss.
An even dozen Nazis convicted of
implication in the July plot, among
them the two held directly responsible
for Dollfuss' assassination, have gone
to the gallows.

sands of Socialist leaders arrested in

Millions Levied in Fines.
Fines totaling millions of schillings
have been levied on influential Nazis
and their supporters in the govern
ment's determination to make the
rebels pay the cost of suppressing
their short-lived insurrection.
Taking leaves from the book of
Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany,
the government apparently has de-
cided to kill of opposition just as
Hitler did.
While underground rumblings of the
likelihood Of another Nazi revolt belle
Viennas outward calm, Kurt Schusch-
nigg, Dollfuss' successor as chan
cellor, and Vice Chancellor Ernst Won
Starhemberg have lost no time in
strengthening Austria's international
friendships.
The two, separately, have visited
Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy
who hurried hundreds of cannon and
thousands of soldiers to the Austrian
frontier when the Nazi revolt threat
ened to get out of hand-presum-
ably to seek II Duce's financial and
military aid in the event of another
outbreak.
Martial Law Continues.
That the government itself fears
new trouble is indicated by the fact
that the martial law Dollfuss insti-
tuted November 10, 1888, continues in
effect throughout Austria.
Prince Starhemberg's Heimwehr-
the Fascist Iron Guards held ready
for action and has been reported pre-
pairing lists of prominent Nazis in
each province to be seized as hostages
when and If civil strife is renewed.
Equally alert to prevent another
putsch are soldiers of the national
army and the police.
Meanwhile, speculation continues
rife as to the possibility of the restora-
ton of the ousted Hapsburg monarchy.

The speed boat was found in 35
feet of water. Police had received a
tip that the boat was sunk in the
creek Tuesday. the day of the sensa-

in the country within the past year
the strikers have received Federal aid
and he saw no reason why the Gov
ernment should not indirectly finance

claim will throw three-quarters Of a

would stop the strike, but If he did not
all union members would walk out
within week after the strike date
is fixed. The national organization
