labor unions, the citizens began to

their wrath descended on the centers
Of radical agitation. Within another
"a hours the power OF public opinion
was in complete control and the
labor radicals ran TO cover.
As San Franciscans look back on
the situation now they realize that
the conflict from the beginning was
largely within the ranks OF organized
labor. Most of the unions for many
months had been pinched between a
titular leadership, grown moribund
and ultra conservative, and more in
terested in its own political advance
ment than in the welfare OF its con-
stituency, and rising group Of young
radicals, many Of them members Of
the Communist party.

The conservative leaders feared and
despised the Communists, but, none
too sure of their own hold, they were
afraid openly to resist them.
Thus the radical minority had Gre
ated a species Of terror in almost
every labor union in the city. The
great rank and file of unionists dis
liked them, but were afraid to speak
out.
The most relieved group in San
Francisco today undoubtedly is this
same rank and file of union members.
The popular uprising against the
strike came to them as release from
the labor terror. Encouraged by 1t,
the orthodox labor leaders rose up
and put the radicals out. ably assisted

A double pantry with many
shelves leads into the kitchen
which is a full size one. OH

TRUCK AND SILVER

NEW YORK, November 17.-Scrap
silver and sludge with an estimated
value of $4,000 to $4,000, being
transported from Rochester, N. Y, to
Irvington, N. j., in a lotion truck,
was sought tonight by police of seven
States.
The truck started from Rochester
Tuesday and no trace of it has been
found since. Another truck, similarly
loaded, arrived at Irvington safely.
The silver and sludge-I9,O00
pounds in % drums-was being sent
by the Eastman Kodak Co. to the
1rvington Smelling g. Refining Co.
Eastman officials said it was impos-
sible to estimate definitely the value
Of the load because waste sludge varies
widely in silver content.
Disappearance of the truck was re-
vealed through police alarm. OFF,
GERS in New Jersey. New York, Penn
sylvania, Delaware. Maryland, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, were
asked to aid in the search.
Oficers said the truck might have
been hijacked or might have met
with an accident on some isolated
stretch of highway and rolled into
a gully.

ROME, November 17.-Hugh r.
Wilson, American disarmamcnts ex-
pert, tonight laid before Premier
MuSsolini the plan of President
Roosevelt for an international pact
to control manufacture of and COM
merce in arms.
He talked to the Premier, in Eng
lish, for three-quarters of an hour,
but afterward said he could not dis
cuss their conversation or MuSsolini's S
reaction to the American project.
Opposition Is Seen.
Italian semi-official circles, how
ever, were frank in saying Italy still
remained opposed to such pact.
They said both MuSSolini and
Undersecretary of State Fulvio Su-
vich, with whom Wilson talked yes
terday, refused to give final answer,
but contented themselves with ask
ing for more detailed explanations
and stating Italian objections.
Italians felt that the Roosevelt
proposal would have the effect of in
citing states which do not have their
own ms-manufacturing plants to
start such plants.
ii Duce Is Cordial.
The plan involves publication of
information concerning the manu-
facture and sale of fighting equip
ment.
Mussolini, it was said in Italian
circles, was most cordial to the Ameri-
can emissary. but gave him no
grounds to hope for favorable reac-
ton.
Wilson departed late tonight for
Geneva to attend meeting of the
Disarmament Conference bureau, at
which it was hoped a subcommittee
would be given instructions to draft
the American plan into its protocol.
His interview this evening came
after Wilson had almost given up
hope of seeing II Duce during his stay

TEXTILE LEADERS
THREATENS STRIKE
Board Hears of "Discrimi-
nation" Against Unions
in 200 Mills.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy Iie aSSOS4dIco Z fiCos'
Labor leaders representing all divi-
sions of the Textile Industry served
notice yesterday upon the Textile
Labor Relation Board that strikes
would soon be ordered in 200 mills
unless satisfactory adjustments are
made of cases involving alleged dis
elimination against union men.
The union officials. after delivering
their blunt ultimatum to the Labor
Board, then sat in a six-hour session
to determine whether requests for local
strikes should be granted Immediately
1t was determined finally that no strike
action should be taken within the next
few days. but, in a statement the
United Textile Workers announced: ::
I'VE are hopeful that the orderly
procedure of the board will remedy
the situation, and it is our disposition
to give the board every fair and proper
chance. If that fails, then we shall
have to rely upon our economic
strength. Nobody wants that to come
to pass, and it is admittedly the final
remedy"
Steei bOdru WOrkS.
Meanwhile the Steel Labor Board.
which has the same membership as
the Textile Board, was striving quietly
to effect an agreement between the
giant steel industry, long q foe of
organized labor, and its A. F. of L.
union.
With the industry reported on the
verge of granting recognition to the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, these secret
negotiations begged down because the
amalgamated demanded majority
rule"
AS concession to President Roose-
velt's plea for an industrial truce,
the steel magnates had agreed, it was
learned, to recognize the union, but
only to the extent to Shich it repre-
Sented the workers. Union leaders be-
Geved this would mean retention of
the company unions" and rejected the
offer. Since then the Steel Board has
made no appreciable headway.
The deadlock, incidentally, closely
parallels the situation in the automo-
bile industry where union leaders are
chaf1ng at the proportionate represen-
tation basis upon which a threatened
strike was settled several months ago.
In this case, too, the union wanted
majority rule.

to newspaper men there was grave
danger Of new tie-ups in their industry

elimination against union members in

would appeal to the jefferson Circuit
Court next week in an effort to show
Todhunter abused the discretionary
power vested in him by an old statute
heretofore little used.
Todhunter said he had examined
Shank daily and that the accused
slayer of Alvin Colley, his wife and
two children had done nothing to in

attorneys claim he has become insane
since he was convicted of Colley's
death last December.
