SEAMEN JOIN
TANK STRIKE

SAN FRANCISCO. March %. W.n)
Pacific coast maritime strikers
doubled their numbers today with
the addition of licensed Seamen to
the sailors already idle in a dispute
with operators of oil tankers.
Deck and engine room officers
joined members of the Information.
al Seamen IS union in the walkout
after ship owners had broken off
negotiations with their unlicensed
personnel.
While some sources believed that
the strike would spread to general
cargo vessels and also to the long
shoremen on land, most authorities
said there was little likelihood of
general maritime strike.
Tanker operators today repeated
their offer to arbitrate wages and
working conditions demands pro-
vided the union withdrew its de-
mand for preferential employment
of its members. There was no
Cndnse, however, III Ine uilion dOtl-
tude which last Monday led the op-
orators to announce they would not
continue to negotiate and would
prepare to resume normal business
with or without union crews.
No attempt, however, has been
made to operate any of the 81 tank
ers now tied up in Pacific coast
ports. Seattle and Portland ship
ping circles began to feel tine ef-
fects of the walkout which cut off
fuel supplies. California ports,
closer to the oil fields, had pipe
line connections which kept the
supply close to normal. The Union
Oil company plant at Oleum, near
Vallejo, may be forced TO suspend,
however, unless tankers bring in
fresh supplies.

10 lace Judge for sentence after con-
ylctlon on nine counts of violating the
state securities act, and 16 counts of
grand theft would appear like saving
farewell to the world for long period
Of time, unless one has a good under
standing of the operations of California's
board of prison terms and parole.
There is the case of Harold G. Fer
guson to prove that such a thing is not
nearly as serious as it seems.
Ferguson, former head of a Los An
geles real estate firm, was convicted of
defrauding investors out of SOS 900 bv
the illegal transfer of trust funds.
The court sentenced him to a term of
not less than five years nor more than
so years. That reads well, yet he is
leaving prison Saturday after serving
three years and two months, nearly two
years less than called for by his mini
mum sentence. He is to remain on pa
role for two years and nine months.
Of the 16 grand theft charges on
which he was convicted he was to serve
concurrent terms on four and consecu-
tive terms on the remaining r.
Betrayal of trust is not serious
crime in California Yet there are many
who will consider man who, possessing
a position of trust and responsibility,
betrays those who have trusted him, as
worse than the out and out criminal who
stages hold-up or robbery. Appar-
emily the state board of prison terms and
parole does not so consider it.
Ferguson's crime was not something
that happened on the spur of the mo-
inent. 1t was the result of cool and de-
liberate calculation. He thought he
could get away with it and was willing
to try. His release on parole will con-
vince anyone that he did get away with
it after all. Three years for S65,O00
(that being the sum upon which he was
convicted and undoubtedly not all that
he juggled) and twice or three times
that for stealing couple of hundred
dollars, lends proof to the oft-heard
statement, ''if you must steal, steal big"

An estimated one thousand dol.

vile this summer, the board of d.
rectors decided at their May meet
ing last night, and authorized the
entertainment committee to pro
coed with its program plans. About
$500 was spent last year for the
purpose.
The entertainment fund will be
raised largely through contribu-
tons by hotels and boarding
houses, business firms and indi-
viduals. In addition to weekly en-
tertainments at the high school
auditorium, street dances, sports
tournaments and other attractions
which proved popular last year,
the committee will expand its pro-
gram to include playground activl-
ties under a competent director
and assistants. A hostess for the
season also will be employed.
Recommendations made by o.
Y. Brownlee, committee chairman,
were adopted in full, including a
decision to open the entertain
ment program earlier than last
year and close it later.
Acting on a report by the adj
vertising committee, the board de-
clined to buy space in the rhodo'
dendron festival edition of the
Asheville newspapers, but favored
placing an entry in the festiva
parade at the request of the Ashe
vile Chamber of Commerce, pro
vided the cost is not too great
Continuing the discussion of ad
vertising, the board voted to ad
wise the local public that tn
Chamber of Commerce has not en-
dorsed any advertising project un
less the solicitor has a letter O.
recommendation from Milo w
Strong, president, or George M
Flanagan, chairman of the adver
Using committee. Heretofore, i
was said, the Chamber of Com
merce has been represented as en-
dorsing certain advertising wher
no such action has been taken.

meeting, described the unusual de
mand this year for Hendersonvill,

Bonus Bill Is Sent To President
u, S. AIRMEN SET NEW WORLD
RECORD IN SPEED AND LOAD
CARRYING OVER EAST COURSE
Observers Believe Tests
Preparatory to Trans
Atlantic Service

NEW YORK. May 17.-(UP).
Fourteen air records for speed
and load carrying we're set by a
Douglas Transport plane after fly
ing 3,105 GIT miles in 10 hours,
22 minutes and 40 seconds. Five
were of the marks lowered were
international records, the other
nine are new American marks.
The plane was piloted by D. w.
Tomlinson and Joseph Bartles.
Tomlinson and Bartles began
the last phase of their record
breaking 5.O0O-kilometer closed
circuit flight with a loaded land
plane at 12:24.41 a. m. (EDT) to-
day, when their plane checked
over this airport after a flight
from Washington.
They were on the fifth and last
lap. Whereas, the first four laps
had been flown over a triangular
course between New York, Wash
ington and Norfolk, Va, the Nor
folk leg was eliminated from the
las flap because of bad weather in
that vicinity.
Instead, the lap was arranged
to consist of a round-trip flight
from New York to Washington,
with the additional mileage to be
flown out in the New York area
over a triangular course of 43.9
miles with checking stations at
North Beach airport, Newark air
port and Floyd Bennett. The
plane circled this course five
times.
The mystery" plane last night
and early today raced through the
skies on a test 3,105-mile land
flight that may be the prelude to
regular transatlantic air service
The giant, low-winged mono
plane, piloted by D. w. Tommy
Tomlinson and Joseph Bartles,
pushed it across America when it
broke the transport record be-
tween the Pacific coast and New
York.
Ostensibly they were seeking to
set a series of international and
United States transport records in
five laps around a closed, triangu-
lar course between here, Wash
ington, D. c., and Norfolk, Va.
On their second lap they took
two world records from France,
set a world record for perform
ance that has not had a listed rec
ord and beat three U. 5. records

SENATE PASSES WAGNER BILL,
AIMED AT INDUSTRIAL STRIFE
Measure to Curb Unrest
Carries So to IL; House
Considers Similar Bill

WASHINGTON, May II. (UP).
The Wagner labor disputes bill,
designed to curb industrial strife
by compelling employers to bar
gain collectively with their work
ers, was passed by the senate
late yesterday.
The vote was 60 to II.
Eight Republicans and four
Democrats voted against the bill
while 40 Democrats, IL Republi-
cans, one progressive and one
Observation-Disclosures for it. The
IL voting "nO" were:
Democrats: Bailey, Burke,
Byrd and Tydings.
Republicans: Austin, Gibson
Hale, Hastings, Keyes, Metcalf,
Townsend and Vandenberg.
The vote came after the SEN
ate had rejected an attempt by
Senator Willard Tydings D., Md,
to write into the bill provisions
which would have prevented or
ganized labor unions from coerc'
ing workers belonging to other
unions and made trade unions re-
sponsible for their own acts.
A similar measure is pending
in the house, Although Presi'
dent Roosevelt has taken no pub
lie stand on the legislation, the
failure of administration leaders
in the senate to oppose it anC
statements by various labor lead
ers indicated the measure was &C
ceptable to the chief executive.
AS passed by the senate, the
bill has these main provisions:
irst, 1t writes into the law OF
the land the right Of workers tc
bargain collectively with employ
ers through representatives OF
their own choosing.
Second, 1t creates a board OF
three, appointed by the president
to serve as a supreme court OF

Bodies Of Miss Savage of
Charlotte, and Atlanta
Man Raised
JONES RITES SET AT
CHARLOTTE SATURDAY

The bodies of Miss Virginia
Savage, 25, of Charlotte, and VOL
ney Harmon, 81, of Atlanta. Ga.
who drowned on Tuesday night
when the boat in which they were
riding overturned on Lake Lure,
were recovered this morning at
$40 o'clock by members of the
dragging party that searched the
lake all day yesterday.
The finding of the two bodies
completed the tragic incident
which cost the lives of the two and
John Fl. Jones, of Charlotte, whose
body was recovered yesterday
shortly after 1 o'clock.
Both bodies were brought to
the surface on the same graphing
hook, at the same time, manned
by members of the Charlotte fire
department, who arrived at the
lake yesterday to assist in the
search.
The bodies were found in the
vicinity Of the same point where
the body of Jones was recovered
yesterday. Members of the search
ing party expressed the view that
the socks first picked up the
bodies in the vicinity of the spot
where the boat was recovered yes
terday afternoon, but it is gener-
ally believed that the three bodies
were close together, and this was
thought to indicate that both Har-
mon and Jones were making an
effort to get Miss Savage out Of
the lake and were unable to reach
shore.
Both Jones and Harmon, it is
believed, would have been able to
get out of the water except for
the fact that they attempted to
save Miss Savage, who was unable
to swim.
The body of Miss Savage was
taken to Charlotte this afternoon,
and the body of Harmon was
taken to Asneville for embalmlng,
to returning it to De-
troit for burial.
Funeral services for Jones, who
was 81 and the son Of J. A. Jones,
prominent Charlotte contractor,
and owner of the Skyland hotel
here, will be held at Charlotte to-
morrow afternoon. Services for
