SAN FRANCISCO, July IA
(UP).-Labor's blockade of in
dustry spread relentless through
populous Central California last
night.
Governor Frank F. Merriam
was prepared to use troops to
break a general strike believed
inevitable. >.
He warned that foodstuffs
must reach the San Francisco
Bay region.
The actual call for general
strike was delayed at least until
10 a. m. today, but there was
scant hope It could be aver ed.
Delegates Of 1T unions affl-
lated with the San Francisco la
Dor council met in stormy session
with the councils "strtegy COM
mittee" last night. Many opposed
a general strike, but a majority
appeared to favor the drastic step.
Each union will send a dele

meeting, empowered to recon-
mend q strike but not to call one.

The meetings will be to "unify"
the policies Of the unions in the
emergency.

George Kidwell, member of the
strategy committee"
The creeping paralysis OF in
dustrial strife conferred in San
Francisco, where business was al
most at q standstill, but it reach
ed out into the agricultural areas.
Governor Frank F. Merriam
stated he will not tolerate cutting
off food supplies from the Bay
area. -.
"There must be no food short
age in or around San FRANCISCO
because of strike conditions" he
said.
II am appealing through the
press to representatives of the
striking workers in the San Fran
cisco Bay region to make ample
provision for the free and unin-
terrupted transportation Of neces-
sary food supplies and needed
medical supplies into San Fran
cisco.
"Tf those most directly involv-
ed do not promptly meet this sit
uation 1t will become necessary
for Independent action to be
taken to guarantee that no wo-
man or child shall 60 hungry or
face deprivations during pend
ency of the labor dispute"
The statement was interpreted
as meaning that the governor
would order the national guard
to protect food trucks. -
Wartime conditions prevailed
today in San Francisco as strong
ly-organized labor forces swung
toward . general strike which
would cripple commerce and in
dustry, bring q dangerous food
shortage and menace public
health. :,
With more and more union
men rushing to the side of the
1000 workers already on strike,
the San Francisco labor council
was expected to give the signal
for q general walkout.
The city's food supply already
was endangered. Markets were
being besieged by panicky house
holders, intent upon stocking up
their larders against the impos-
sibility of obtaining foodstuffs
later.

Murder, Not Accident

Colonel Graham Seton Hutchinson, au- thor and publicist is author of the state ment that the late King Albert of Belgium was not killed in fall from the hillside but was murdered by a blow on the back of his head That's news, even if it was issued by "publcst". That seems to be the only fly in the ointment Of course, Colonel Hutchinson probably can cite plenty of facts to substantiate his claim, but, nevertheless, it is apt to be consid cred in most circles as much of "spoof" as he claims the death by accident story was.
 Colonel Hutchinson made his astonish- ing revelation in an address to a writer's club at Nottingham, England. Here are several sentences alleged to have been taken from his direct remarks: He did not die as a result of an Alpine accident, believe me. l know the facts. This proof was put over by planned perjury in such a way that it is simply baffling to intel ligent people. The story of Albert's death was issued in Belgium before he was dead. A man with rope around his waist does not go climbing by himself. .. ."
 As a matter of fact murder cry was raised in Belgium immediately after the kings death became public news. But 1t was generally ScOuLeu ana IHe acciueHt theory accepted by all. We're inclined to think that even Colonel Hutchinson's dra- matic story won't carry much weight with most people. It is quite apparent that if the monarch actually were murdered, it would have been quite impossible to inn pose 6 worldwide censorship on this fact. It would have leaked out and ultimately have been corroborated. Instead we get a fantastic story by an author and publicist Perhaps some day we may learn that this gentleman was merely outlining the plot of a novel himself.

machinery He would do the whole job and pay for it with Public Works funds It would be necessary, of course, to obtain the consent of the sovereign states through which the highway would go. There would probably be no difficulty about that; our Latin neighbors know good thing when they see it. They would have possession when the road was fin- ished, and would have to keep it open and in repair. Maintenance might cost more in the long run than the original expenditure.
 Our people may be dubious about spend- ing so much money in foreign invest ment over which we cannot maintain sovereign control. But it would make a wonderful link with our Canal, and should bring advantages in closer acquaintance, commercial profit and motor touring. It is at least worth discussing.

Careful Choosing

It is forgone conclusion that the state election in November is going to witness . supreme effort upon the part of the republicans to wrest from the democrats the governorship, control of the State Senate and whatever powers go with these offices. Should Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, in the event of his renomnation, be returned to office this fall, it would mark the third successive defeat sustained by the republicans of Connecticut. That would practically spell the disintegration of the present regime, headed by State Chairman J. Henry Roraback.
 We have brought to the attention of our readers, hoping thereby to stir up suffi- cient democrats and independents to ac- tion, the fact that the first name on the state ticket is giving republicans consider able NOTIFY. It is not going to be hit or-miss choice this year. There will be no trusting to past achievements to carry the party to victory. A determined effort is afoot to find q candidate who will appeal to greater mass of voters than the men brought forward by the opposing parties. If this weren't evident, we would not have the imposing array of potentials that now break into print.
 Only few days ago the Hartford Times commenting on Professor William Lyon Phelps refusal of the nomination stated that Perhaps it is q good thing that the republican party finds itself un- dor the necessity of choosing as carefully aB it apparently is planning to , " Our reaction to the Phelps boom was eH- pressed in these columns Monday night. It is our belief that there are going to be plenty of g.o.p. candidates advanced in the next few months with the view of lull- ing the democrats into a false sense of security. Perhaps we are crediting our republican brethren with too much guile but even SO the theory looks well in print.
 We actually expect to see States At- torney Hugh M. Alcorn secure the nom- ination. He would be Il strong candidate, perhaps too strong for the republican state central committee. It would have to guarantee MT Alcorn the right to do pYetty much as he pleased, if elected to office. Right now with several lieuten- ants angling for State Chairman Rora- backs place such a concession is broad one and unlikely. A Governor Alcorn might mean new republican alignment with the present bosses minus control. Likely alternatives are former Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel and Lieu tenant-governor Roy C. Wilcox But can either one defeat Governor Cross? That's the crux of the present g.o.p. situation. Democrats might well profit by it.

In i72O tho old schoolh rouse in tho center was sufficient for tho school needs of the town; # was repaired that year.

Springfield has inaugurated worth while thing this spring. It is sending trucks around the city to collect and dis pose of winter-kiled shrubbery. The toll in Springfield was unusually heavy due to the severe winter. Waterbury also ex- perienced considerable losses in shrubbery and hardy plants The idea in sending a truck around, though, probably never occurred to any one here. Most home owners have disposed of their dead shrubs themselves. Probably we should do more things along this line to facilitate our clean up week program which is now un- derway. Various cities employ trucks and city workers to go into all residential sections collecting rubbish from boxes and cans left on the curb. 1t is one way of making many man clean up his prop erty. If he knows the trash will me cart ed away free of charge he'll be more apt to do thorough job.

Less Work Or More Goods

Plunged into forced leisure, great many of us don't know what to do with it. Says Professor Jacob C. Meyer of Vest ern Reserve University: We are so used to working hard and long that we are un- happy with more leisure, unlike our Euro pean brethren, who have already learned it's use, especially in France"
 If we don't want this leisure, he sug- gests, we don't really have to take it. AS members of puzzled society now debat- ing the question, we have 6 choice between two things. We can accept the leisure imposed by shorter working hours to avoid large production, or we can agree to produce and use more things than we now have. The latter process might be carried pretty far if we set our minds to it.
 If we decide that we want more things, we shall not only work somewhere near the old number of hours for while longer, but we shall make more complete use of machinery, tapering down when- ever we get tired of comforts and lux. uries The professor thinks there would have to be government-supervis sys- tenn of distribution to guarantee that everyone would get his share of the abundance. Quite an argument could be started about that, in almost any crowd. We haven't given much thought yet to the mechanics of philosophy of abundance

A Book a Day
Tells How Pioneers Outlived Their Day
by BRUCE CAPTION

The pioneer is n sacred figure In American annals, and no one can lightly find fault with him.
 Especial interest, therefore, at- tnchcs to Melvin Lcvy'g new novel, "The Last Ploncers"' for in 1t Mir Levy takes healthy wind-up and socks the pioneer Just back of the loft car, calling atter ton to his de- fects in a loud and resonant voice as he dOcs So.
 His book is tho story of west coast city----hc names tt Puget, but it sounds rather like Seattle. He tells of three mon who brought 1t to birth back fin the wild old frontier days; m amOraI young Harvard graduate, an Alaskan prospector and shifty Jewish immigrant from Poland. These three consciously saw themselves as pioneers. They wanted no help from the east. financial or otherwise. They cree atcd city in which life was high, wide and. If not handsome. at lcaEt gaudy.
 They had limitIcps energy, aboundlng visions, no scruples
 
 | of social responsibility. First their city was raw frontier outpost. then it was q roaring boom town--and finally lt reached maturity. And it left the three creators behind, some- how. It grew out from under them. Az pioneers their work was finished.
 Their last whirl was the 1929 boom; after that ,hey were fin- lshed. and the city could get on better without them. for they were | useful only while the pioneer epoch lasted.
 It makes 4 good book. How closely it follows Seattle's history | cannot say; at any rate, it's in- tresting reading.

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Rome (uP).-t'or Italy. the League of Nations and Disarma. ment arc one probiem--tho pur- pose of the league Is to secure dis armament
 "If disarmament falls, it will be sufficient to register the death of the league" MussoiIni said recent ly.
 Fascist Italy has beef patient with the league, 1t K said here, and its Ion chain Of postpone mcnts, its intermlnable meetings without conclusion or settlement, and it would seem that MussOllni hopes little from it now.
 Recent Protocols
 The recent protocols signed with Austria and Hungary, though having nothing to do with disar- mament. tho rapldity with which matters were brought to success ful conclusion and. still more, the implication of other possible ac- cords and the opening up Of q new line of policy in the matter Of agreements between European powers, seem clearly to show that MussoIinI regards the usefulness of the league as nearly over.
 He is not likely 10 give the league It's death sentence by any deliberate act of formal with drawai. Indeed, the Duce has in these latter years been well dis posed 10 the league, and often has urged that vigorous attempts should be made to save it.
 League Sick"
 'rhe league K very sick" said MussoIini in 1892, at Turin. He likencd it to a patient who must be nursed back to health. "ItnIy will make every effort to cure the patient. if the patient will make m effort at self-preserva- tion."
 ItaIy's indictment of the league has been that it Is a league Of the victors Of tho Great War. that it is cumbersome, that it has failed in its object Of securing peace. !. Other criticisms made against tho league at the time when an of- fieially inspired communlque in tho North Italian press. which appear ed in the middle Of November of 1888. gave rise to tho supposItion that Italy might leave the league, were that there Is too much talk. that the small powers have vot- Ing capacity ott Of proportion Co their interest in league matters. and that the league was failing Co secure fie&fzzazn41k
