man and the day the divorce de-
cree was final they secured a
marriage license in Monroe,
Mich, and were married several
days later"
The towel heiress flatly asserted
her objection to the settlement
proposed by the Reynolds family
because it gives away large
financial interests to which her
child is entitled.
Settlement Assailed
No member of the Cannon
family. Mr.. Hartsell said, was con-
suited about the provisions of the
settlement.
The settlement, offered by the
family, would give Annes
child approximately $9,O00,O00.
Lbby'S son would receive between
Sc, 100000 and $7,O00,O0O. Libby
would get $75O,o0o to equal half
settled on Anne at the
time of her divorce, plus interest.
Anne would receive no further
direct share in the estate.
Wants Entire Fortune
The balance, with exception of
$250,OO0 to each of the three
Reynolds children, would
be used to establish an educa-
tional foundation in memory OF
the dead youth.
Anne declared her child should
receive the entire fortune.
When she divorced Reynolds,
however, she agreed to make no
further claim on the estate.
Anne'S mother, Mrs. Annie l..
Cannon, wife of the towel manu-
facturer and co-guardian of Rey'
nolds' first child, through her
attorney Major L. P. McLendon,
also denied the right of Libby's
child to participate in its fathers

NRA Chief Would Abolish
Service Codes, ProberS on
"HiI" Are Informed

The 3,5O0,0OO employees in the
Iow-wage service trades will be
without Federal protection if
Congress follows suggestions
made today by Donald Richberg,
director of the National Emer-
gency Council, before the Senate
Finance Committee.
Richberg admitted the NRA
found it impossible to enforce
service code provisions and was
waiting for a decision by the Su-
preme Court to define the phrase,
interstate commerce"
Left to States
He told the committee enforce
ment of labor regulations and
fair trade practices should be left
to the States and local COM
munities, as it is at present.
The question of intrastate and
interstate commerce is. he said,
so involved and subject to vari-
Gus interpretations that enforce
ment of service trade codes would
be impossible without a final de-
cision by the country's highest
tribunal.
Fair Trade Gone
Citing service trades in which
the NRA has foregone all SEM
blance of enforcement, Richberg
listed barber shops with an en-
ployment total of 100000, and
laundries with $4,000 employees.
Service industries in which the
codes have abolished fair trade
practice enforcement he listed
as cleaning and dyeing, hotels
and restaurants, motor vehicle
parking and storage, shoe repair,
advertising distribution and out
door advertising and bowling and
billiards.

UNION
CHALLENGES
U.s.. BOARD
Mediation Body Is Accused
In Suit of Unfairness
In Railroad Case

In a test case involving the
power of the National Mediation
Board, under the recently
amended railroad labor act, the
District Supreme Court today was
asked to determine the right of
the board to compel employees
of a railroad to deal with it's
management through a desig-
mated labor agency instead of it's
own company union"
The Shopmen's Association of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
is plaintiff in the suit, which is
directed against the National
Mediation Board, the American
Federation of Labor, the Atlantic
Coast Line Rrailroad Company
and certain individual officers of
the defendant organizations.
Organized in 1922
Through Attorney Vernon B.
Lowrey, the Shopmen's group says
it was organized in 1922, pursuant
to a resolution passed by the
United States Railway Board, and
since that time has represented
the interests of the mechanical de-
partment of the railroad in deal
ing with the management and has
obtained terms of employment "as
favorable as any in the United
States"
The American Federation of
Labor has sought to interfere in
the organization, it is claimed,
and has sent organizers into the
ranks of the Shopmen and in Sep.
tember, 1884, the National Media
ton Board ordered an election to
determine whether the American
Federation of Labor would repre-
sent the group.
Company Union Wins
The election was won by the
S h o p m ms association, it is
claimed, but the board refuses to
certify the election and has
threatened to hold another elec-
ton and continue to order elec-
tions until the company union is
crushed.
The court is asked to examine
into the relationship between the
National Mediation Board and the
American Federation of Labor, to
compel the board to certify the
election, restrain it from holding
further elections, restrain it from
interfering with the present rela-
tionShip between the company
union and the company and to re-
quire the company to deal with its
own union.

feat following the collapse Of the
land revolt in Macedonia, Ex-
Premier Eleutherios VeniZeloS and
his revolutionary lieutenantS es-
capped from Crete aboard the
cruiser Averoff, pride OF the
Greek navy.
All other vessels, with the ex-
ception of one submarine that
the rebels had confiscated and
used to extend their rule OF 10
days to the islands of Lesbos,
Chios, and Samos, were recovered
by the government.
Death Terms Await
With the revolt claimed by the
government to have been COM
pletely crushed on land and sea,
authorities prepared today to mete
out severe punishment for the
VanquiShed.
Courts-martial began function
ing, and scores of death sentences
were expected to be imposed upon
leaders of the several thousand
rebels captured in the debacle in
Macedonia.
Formal demand was delivered
in Sofia, Bulgaria, for extradition
of Gen. DemetriuS KamenoS and
the % members of his military
staff, who fled across the border
after the disorderly retreat before
the onslaught of Field Marshal
George Kondylis, Minister of War,
in the Struma River front yester-
day.
The Greek Consul at Philip
popolis, Bulgaria, hurried to the
frontier to demand the arrest OF
other rebel leaders, and succeeded
in recovering more than $500, 900
taken from banks in Seres and
other points when held by the
Tevolutionaries.
Athens To Celebrate
The mayor of Athens called on
the population to stage a giant
mass meeting of thanksgiving this
afternoon. War Minister Kon-
dylis. returning like conquering
hero, and Premier Panayoti Tsal-
daris were to be speakers.

entire Macedonian fighting were
put at only II killed and %

the hundreds, chiefly from dis
astrous airplane bombardmentS.
Rear Admiral ColialexiS was
frustrated by police when he at
tempted to land yesterday at
Alexandria, Egypt, disguised as
an ordinary seaman aboard a
freighter.
One of the last rebel ships to
revert to the government was the
destroyer Psara, which was an.
chored in Suda Bay, Crete. The
revolutionary officers abandoned
her. and the crew WireleSSed TO
Athens for orders.

Politics Cramps
Navy, Says
Shearer
International News Service


Progress of naval defense and
the American merchant marine
have been retarded by political
pressure, William B. Shearer, self.
styled "big bass drum" at the un-
successful Geneva disarmament
conference of 1927, told the Senate
Munitions Committee today.
He said:
From my long experience
with naval officers 1 am sorry to
say much in the past has been
done to hurt the morale of the
United States Navy by political
pressure.
SHIPPING HAMPERED
"The reason we have not a
modern, fireprOOf, up-tO-date
merchant marine is also political
pressure.
THE reason for our being
without an adequate naval base
on the Pacific at this time is
purely political pressure"
Mr.. Shearer charged a foreign
government" dominates our marine
policy and prohibits construction
OF first class American ships. He
added:
81 question whether these fire
traps, such as the Moro Castle,
SagOvia, and sinkable tubs like
the Mohawk, we're not all part
of the game to discourage the
building of modern, fireprOOf
American ships"
PROBERS ACCUSED
Mr.. Shearer charged there was
collusion between the builders o1
the Mohawk and those persons
conducting an investigation of the
disaster that befell the liner of
the New Jersey coast. He said:
"The very man who is the in
SpectOr and who conducted the
hearings on the Mohawk comes
from the very Shipyard that
built these ships that I have
named. And another man from
the same yard becomes the code
authority to deny competition
either in price or designing.
"There is much evidence that
the builder of the ships has at
tended these conferences on
safety of life at sea-"
Incompetence Charged
Mr.. Shearer said that in many
cases shipyards employ appren.
tices and unskilled labor and that
the Navy is often forced to tear
out" incompetent workmanship
done in private yards, adding:
81 cite a case where a naval
officer who was the inspector
at private yard was told that
unless he passed this work he
would be transferred"
Mr.. Shearer declared he was
acting in the interest of the
United States Navy at the Geneva
conference where his activities
brought him into the limelight in
Senate inquiry. He said:
every fight that I made in
the interest of the United
States Navy was made at the
request of naval officers.
WORK PROTESTED
"My activities in Europe we're
protested by a foreign power
for giving out the facts and
truth.
Having attended the Wash
ingtOn arms conference in 1921
and being familiar with the
actions of foreigner who
dominated all news concerning
that conference, / could not

ENVELOPES ARE EATING RANGE
 OF FARM HERDS
Alberta Farmers Powerless Against Invasion of Pro-
 tected Wild Life

LUTHBRIDGE, Alberta, Nov. 12.- Harrassed herds of antelope have southern Alberta ranchers wonder ing what can be done to save pas lures for cattle and sheep.
 Under the rights of protection herds have increased to such an ex- tent they are invading the lowlands and eating everything in sight.
 Hunters are now allowed to bag two upon payment of a special $5 license but the season only runs from November to November II. In addition, animale can be shot only on occupied fenced lands with the consent of the land owner.
 Under such restrictions there have been no applications for licenses, hence no relief for farmers from that direction.
