BARTHOU TRIP GOAL
Concessions in Africa to Be Of

By the Associated Press.

PARIS, September 29.-Removal Of
friction which has existed between
France and Italy since the war will
be the chief object of the trip Of Louis
Barthou, French foreign minister, to
Rome next month, it was indicated as
preparations went forward today for
that journey.
Premier Mussolini's demand for
more consideration for Italian interests
in Africa has been the subject of in
termittent negotiations for 10 years.
Barthou personally is willing to give
Italy more territory in Libya and to
extend preferential treatment to
Italians in Tunisia II Mussolini will
cease demanding navy parity with
France.
Officially the two governments are
as wide apart as ever on these ques-
tions. But Barthou hopes that when
he goes to Rome to talk to Mussolini
about Austrian independence and the
formation of a Danubean economic
bloc he may get the Italian premier
into such a friendly state of mind
that compromises on long g-standing
differences may be possible.
Financially, France and Italy are
being drawn together steadily as men,
bers of the gold bloc. But the Bank
of France has limited its cooperation
with Italy to technical support of
the italian Ira.

WILL SEEK PEACE
"Stretchout" Board Naming
to Inaugurate Plan for
Settlement.

The administration plan for peace
in the textile industry will be put in
full operation early this week, with
appointment of a board to regulate
the "stretchout," important funda-
mental cause of the recent strike.
The new Textile Labor Relations
Board. which is to appoint the sec
ond group, is studying list Of pos
sibilities gathered from various
sources. including suggestions by both
manufacturers and labor leaders. Yes
terday it was close to a decision.
Inquiry Is Prepared.
The Labor Department prepared
meanwhile, to set its inquiry into
hours, wages, wage differentials and
working conditions in the textile in
dustry into full swing tomorrow. 1t
prepared a schedule of items to be
included in the survey. Its agents

begin work.
Tomorrow, too, strikers who have
been refused unemployment will ap-
ply for work again in a move to COM
pile a new list of cases Of alleged
discrimination.
These will be filed with the Textile
Labor Board.
Union leaders decided upon this
procedure. at the recommendation OF
the board itself, for the purpose OF
determining the exact number Of such
cases and their factual basis.
The ''stretchout" is the title that
Southern workers have applied to the
practice of gradually increasing the
number of machines which an opera
tive must tend. The Winant Media
ton Board, appointed by President
Roosevelt during the strike, asserted
its importance, as a cause of that
conflict could not be overemphasized.

under the textile codes.
Plan Due by January.
The stretchout board will make in
vestigations in representative mills
selected by the code authorities and
the United Textile Workers.
By January it must submit a per-
manent regulation plan to President
Roosevelt. and prior to February /
the manufacturers are forbidden to
make any increase in the machine
load.

LABOR DEADLOCK
.THREATENSSCH|SM
A. F. Of l. May Be Asked to
Revoke Charter of Build.
ing Trades.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOclateQ Ffess.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 29.-
The deadlock between executives OF
the American Federation Of Labor and
leaders Of its Building Trades De-
partment over the status Of three big
international unions outweighed all
other pre-convention issues today and
produced threats Of a major schism
in organized labor's ranks.
Rumors were widely circulated that
the federation, in its convention OPEN
ing here next week, might be asked
to revoke the charter of the Building
Trades Department unless the latter
body yielded in the bitter controversy.
William Green, federation president,
and other high officials. remained
noncommittal when asked about
these rumors.
Observers said Green's power ap-
peared to be facing a test in TIE
internal crisis.
Reinstatement Proposed.
The three international unions
carpenters, bricklayers and electrical
workers-withdrew from the Building
Trades Department several years ago.
Last June the Executive Council of
the federation recommended yein-
statement.
The Building Trades Department,
in annual convention ending yester-
day, refused to readmit the three
unions, which have a membership of
about 468 900, or about the same num-
Der as the other unions in that divi-
sion Of the federation.
Green went before the Building
Trades and asked them to reconsider.
He called their action illegal. The de-
partment refused to reconsider its
action.
The federation president, smiling
over his initial defeat, said the issue
probably would come to the floor of
the A. F. Of L. convention. Observers
said this would mean hard battle.
Members Of the federation's Execu-
tive Council arranged to confer with
Green on the situation during the
week end.
The possibility of the federation re-
voking the Building Trades Depart
ment'S charter unless 1t admits the
three unions to membership was raised
by w. L. Hutchinson, president of the
carpenters.
Unions Could Get Charter.
Hutchinson said the charter then
could be granted to the three now
uncredited unions.
Alleged intentions Of the three un-
credited unions to unseat the present
Building Trades Council administra-
ton were said by council officials to
have been the principal reason for
the rejection. After rejecting the re-
instatement application the council re-
elected all its officers with two excep-
tons
Talking about other matters before
the federation, Green said the most
important general issues would be
the 30-hour week, higher wages and
labor's ''non-partisan political pro-
gram"

guieft conferred in historic Rilo
Monastery today on the wisdom OF
Bulgaria joining the Balkan pact and
on other political problems, King
Boris of Bulgaria and King Alexander
of Yugoslavia went away together for

The two monarchs left Sofia and
journeyed to King Boris hunting es-
tate at Tsechamkorje and talked

left their Queens behind, and they,

hood that they would talk over the
possibility of finding a royal husband
for Princess Eudoxie, Boris 36-year-
old sister.
Kings Now Firm Allies.
The visit of the Yugoslav royal
couple here has resulted in Alexander
and Boris becoming firm allies. Neu-
trail commentators said they regarded
the remarkable success and the un-
precedented cordiality Of the royal
meeting as notable contribution to
Balkan and European peace.
Boris, addressing his royal neigh
bor at the brilliant banquet attended
by more than 600 guests last night,
said:
Sire. I am particularly happy on
this occasion to offer your majesties
my warmest and most cordial well
come.
1T is with sincere joy that We Sa-
Lutte this angus: visit because it con-
stitutes a new manifestation of the
sincere desire of both our peoples
to follow policy of genuine peace,
mutual confidence and hopefulness.
Myself and the Bulgarian people
know this noble desire is dear to your
majesty, whom all hail as wise and
dignifled guide of the destinies Of the
Yugoslav people.
Urges Balkan Peace.
"As an interpreter of the senti-
ments of the Bulgarian people, 1 can
assure you that this visit of your
majesty, which is a new and precious
contribution to the efforts of Yugo-
slavia and Bulgaria for the conSoli-
dation of Balkan and international
peace. will find profound repercus-
sion with us and reinforce the work
of the rapprochement between our two
countries, contributing to their pros
perity, development and progress
Greatly touched by Boris tribute,
Alexander arose and said he recipro-
Gated all Boris sentiments and that
he would work devotedly for the
ideals and aspirations enunciated by
his fraternal neighbor
The sovereigns then exchanged
toasts in champagne.
