EQUALITY PLEA
BY PREMIER
REJECTED
Preservation of Present Ratios
And General Cut of 20 Pct.
Urged by Secretary
By international News Service

Emphatic opposition to the
Japanese prime ministers sugges-
tion at Tokyo that the United
States and Great Britain reduce
their fleets to parity with Japan's
navy was voiced today by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Swanson.
Secretary of Swanson declared
that, while the United States
was prepared to engage in gen.
eral naval disarmament, it was
not willing to participate in any
one-sided Scrapping Of naval YES
sells.
U. s. Asks 20 Per, Cent Cut
Indicating the United States
may propose a 20 per cent gen.
eFal reduction in all naval cate
gories at the 1885 naval confer
ence, Secretary Swanson said he
personally favored this 20 per
cent offer, providing existing
ratios were maintained.
However, he made it plain that
he was opposed to any reduction
whatever in the American fleet
unless a similar reduction is made
In the fleets Of other naval
powers.
Secretary Swanson's immediate
opposition to the Japanese sug-
gestion led to the belief that the
United States would quickly turn
thumbs down on it If Tokyo
should present it formally.
Defends Present Ratios
In emphasizing his opposition
to the latest Japanese trial bal
loon, Secretary Swanson said:
81 take the same position that
I have always taken regarding
maintenance Of existing naval
ratios. The naval powers met
ct London and distributed naval
strength on what they thought
was a just and fair basis.
"The Japanese suggestion
would mean equality for the
japanese navy with our own
fleet, and I don't believe in that.
II believe that if we abandon
the existing ratio, there would
be no telling where we would 60.
my convictions are that we
should not change our position.
II am personally in favor Of
Offering to engage in q 20 per
cent, general reduction Of all
naval categOrieS rs . means Of
Gffecting substantial naval dis
armament, but this must not be
OneSided."

From troop headquarters in the

ated that picketS were preparing
to storm the farmers emergency
market.
Wash In Command
Brig. Gen. E. A. Walsh, in COM
mand of the troops, declared his
"no picketing'' regulations would
be emphatically enforced.
The general issued a state
ment saying the reason for the
seizure Of strike headquarters
was that "strike leaders saw fit

press in which they stated they
would resume unrestricted picket
Ing" in violation Of the troop
commanders orders.
. General Walsh said there must
be no interference with any
person or vehicle engaged in
business or any lawful pursuit
and "anyone who violates that
Injunction must suffer the con
sequences"
Second Raid Staged
Guardsmen raided Central La
bor Union headquarters shortly
before noon. There they found
about $50 men whom they dis
persed after searching many OF

The guardsmen reported they
found "deplorable conditions" al

the place was unsanitary. Several
men injured in the clash between
strikers and police on July 2C
were being treated there. Two

CHICAGO YARDS
Z FACE STRIKE
ULTHNATUN
Commission Men Threaten to
Hire Strike Breakers if
Lock Continues

CHICAGO, Aug. 1 GN.S0.
Commission men at the stock
yards moved today to force a set
tlement Of the strike that has tied
up the yards for the last week and
caused great financial loss to CON-
mission men.
A direct threat to hire strike
breakers to handle the livestock
was made by the commission men
unless the strikers agree to sub
nit their grievances to Federal
Judge Sullivan for arbitration.
Union to Reply
The union handlers were to re-
ply later today, but pointed out
that the union butchers had
promised not to butcher cattle or
hogs handled by nonunion labor
in the yards.
The commission men, in a
meeting with strike leaders, said
they had so far cooperated with
the strikers in every respect but
fear that farmers will find other
markets for their livestock should
the yards continue closed, and
that the trade will be permanently
lost.
, The main grievance Of the
workers is the stockyardS COM
pany's refusal to guarantee q $40
minimum wage. The company
has contended this is impossible
due to the wide variance in the
number of cattle coming into the
yards and consequent variation
in the number of men needed for
handling.
Prices Raised
AS the factions continued to
quarrel retail butchers announced
a price increase of two cents a
pound on pork as a result Of the
strike.
There were threats, meanwhile,
Of a sympathetic strike by 8,400
members Of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Work.
ers of America employed by the
smaller packing houses.
William Collins, organizer for
the Amalgamated, served notice
that the strike would be called.
He said the strike would paralyze
production at the yards.
Employees of the Burnett COM
pany walked out following a dis
pute with the company over
seniority rights. Theirs was not
a sympathetic strike, it was ex-
planned.
Johnson Expected
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, NRA ad-
miniStrator, was expected here
during the day to fill a speaking
engagement. What part, if any,
he will take in the peace negoti-
ationS remained problematical.
Growing threats of a walkout
among the union butchers and
meat cutters served to overcloud
peace negotiations that are being
directed by Federal Department Of
Labor conciliators.
Officials of the striking Stock
Handlers Union conferred with
the Department of Labor con-
ciliators and drafted a revised
statement of their position which
was submitted today to o. T.
Henkle, general manager of the
Stock Yards Company.

It would be a mistake to believe

end to Hitler himself. There are

turned against the Nazi system,
but still believe in Hitler.
The army, too, is by no means
against the person of Hitler as

still valuable political leader as
Chancellor. But there is a strong
group among the army generals
which does not want Hitler to be
their commander-in-chief.
In a moment like this in Ger
many scores of other solutions

permit Goering to advance his
favorite, Prince Phillip of HeSse,

Question Of Saar
Looking abroad one long range
effect of Won Hindenburg's death

takes Won Hindenburg's place, the
Saar will almost certainly be
lost to Germany and that popula-

Mr.. Allen left yesterday for .
three-Week vacation, after having
had a closed session with a delega.

The liquor dealers, wholesale
and retail, declared they wanted
fewer wholesale licenses in the
District and protested against the
procedure by which certain indie.
pendent grocerS have formed q
legal corporati ton which is recog.
nlzed as wholesale liquor deal
ing organization.
The liquor men declared thew
wanted the law changed so that
liquor is mixed, for the drinking
public out in the open. The Com.

before them several times pre-.
VlouSly, the last time, being a rec.

The Commissioners appeared
likely to agree with the board
until someone received a myster.

there was a united front against
open bars.
