LABOR REVOLT
ON AUTO CODE
STIRS CAPITAL
A. F. of L. Hostility Brings
Talk of Strike in Three
Industries.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's industrial truce
was jeopardized today by an open
break with organized labor and
strike talk in three major indus
tries.
Automobile workers are reliably
reported to have sought American
Federation of Labor sanction for a
strike about March l in reprisal
against the renewed automobile
code.
There are some indications the
bloody textile strike of 1884 may
be repeated this year. The steel in
dustry is torn by dispute among
workers. A rank and file" organ
ization inclined to strike rather
than bargain for improved working
conditions challenges the leadership
of Michael Tighe, head Of the
Amalgamated Iron and Steel
Workers Union.
Inc A. +. OF II. executive council
meeting here is expected to hear
the automobile strike argument
this week. Automobile workers con-
template a mass meeting Feb. % in
Detroit to consider future action.
William Green, A. F. of L. presi-
dent, has rejected the code in be-
half of organized labor. His pro-
test was aimed at code continuation
of the merit" clause which permits
discharge of workers under circum-
stances which labor believes would
be detrimental to organized en-
ployes. Back of that, however, is
labor's dislike of the automobile
labor board headed by DR.. Leo VOL
man.
Donald R. Richberg, director Of
the executive council, today de-
Tended himself against charges of
John L. Lewis, leader of the coal
miners, that he was a traitor to Or
ganized labor"
Mr.. Richberg said the renewed
automobile code aided labor
through amendments to regularize
employment and provide time and
one-half for overtime beyond the
standard 48-hour week.

Hospital Here.

The body of William Edward

who died in Methodist Hospital
last night, was to be taken to
Bloomington today for funeral
services and burial.
Mr.. Showers, who was SIS, was

attention to improving the mat
tiers of government. We can tell
them now that our party is the
strongest in the United States.
Can any one say that the
Democrats are strong when they
are 100000 in debt?" Mr.. Zahnd
demanded.
Can any one say that the Re-
publicans. are organized when
they don't even know the names
of their party members?"
MIR. ZAHND refused, however,
N1 to reveal to The Times the
numerical strength of his party or
the amount of funds in its treas
ury.
The principal plank in the Ma
tional Progressive platform, he
said, is the abolition of uSury.
when We abolish usury we will
be able to do without taxation"
he maintains. There are a great
many people today who still be-
lieve that government taxation,
which is nothing but a parasite
and a public leech, is all right.
They must realize that when
these two evils are abolished we
will settle all other problems, such
as prohibition, religion and war"
Mr.. Zahnd is an orator of the
old school and his accent and in
Elections are those of the old
stage rustic. He delights in using
polysyllabic words, so much so
that he is not above inserting into
his words an extra syllable or
two unknown to the dictionary.
1--WE want neither a FaScistisism
under a MuSsolonia or a Sovietist-
ism under Stain. We only want
to stabulize our government and
to put an end to the manipuleer-
ing of the bankers that is en-
croaching upon the rights of the
people. The United States was
founded on a basis where that our
individualism must survive"

Most of tbe oratory came from

half. Mr.. Zahnd, who has been
the party's chairman since 1923
and who was its presidential can
didate in 1928, has shown no I'M
willingness to run again.
Mr.. Zahnd told The Indian

that the outcome of next years
