P OVER STRIKE
HITS TOLEDO

TOLEDO, Ohio, June S GN.SO.
Toledo's power and lighting facili-
ties were slowly approaching a
complete shutdown today as cleo
tricaI and office workers walked
out on a union strike at the
Toledo Edison Company.
Five hunderd electrical workers
left their posts at 7 a. M, and
established heavy picket lines out
side the Edison companys five
plants. Shortly afterward, 200
office workers, members of a
separate union, joined the walk
out.
The first to feel the effect of
the strike, which threatens to
paralyze the entire northwestern
tip of the State, was the Electric
Auto-Lite Company, which was
forced to abandon operations.
Closing of the Auto-Lite plant az
fected 1000 employees. other
large industrial concerns went on
reduced schedules at once.

On LACK Of
WATCHMAN

ROCKVILLE, Md, June S.
Civil action against the Balti'
more and Ohio Railroad Com.
pany for its failure to comply
with the provisions of a 23-year'
old Maryland statute will be in
stituted Immediately by the board
of Montgomery county commits
sioners it was learned today, fol-
lowing a decision by the board
late yesterday to enforce the
grade-crossing law.
The statute in question, sections
846 and BAT, of article 16, Public
Local Laws of Maryland, provides
that the railroad company shall
maintain, in addition to safety
gates, a Waterman on duty from
6 a. m. until IL midnight, at its
grade crossing in Rockville.
Fourteen WilliamSport (Md0
high school students lost their
lives April II when a bus in
which they were returning to their
homes was struck by a Baltimore
and Ohio express train at that
crossing.
1t provides further that the rail-
road company shall be liable to a
fine of $50 per day for each and
every day it does not comply with
these regulations. The funds col
lected in penalties to be converted
into a public school fund.
The law firm o. Peter & Simp-
son, counsel to the board, is max
ing arrangements to file the suits,
some 300 in number.
Persons living near this grade
crossing say the railroad COM
pany has not complied with this
law for several years. but the
statute limitations of Maryland
will prevent the filing of suits for
a period of more than one year.
Edward Peter, in urging the
board to take this action, pointed
out to them that by delaying the
filing of these civil suits they
were depriving themselves Of $50
a day in penalties.

SEC. |CKES SEES
FREE PRESS
VITAL NEED

SHEPHERDSTOWN, w. Va,
June S G.N.S0.-This country
Is in the preliminary stages of
profound and significant social
changes" that will see Amer
icanism more strongly entrenched
over the current trends of
Fascism. Communism and other
"isms," Secretary of the Interior
1ckes told graduates of Shepherd
State Teachers College today. He
asserted:
"The present threat to our
American institutions does not
rest upon economic or political
fallacieS that are bred on alien
soil. These will evapOrote into
thin air when exposed to the
clear light of truth. The threat,
and it is a real one, comes
from within.
FREE PRESS VITAL
cit comes from those influ-
enceS that would circumscribe,
or even deny, those funda-
mental constitutional guarantees
of a free press, free speech and
the right of free assemblage.
Deprive us of these rights
and we will have no weapons
left in our hands with which
to resist the onslaught of error
Or fallacy, either from abroad
or within our own borders.
Leave us these three essential
weapons and we will be able
to resist any attack of poison
GUS propaganda or insidious
doctrine"
In the new social order which
Tckes declared is in the making,
he urged development of many of
the policies of the Roosevelt Ad,
ministration. He said:
LET there be no more child
labor. Let us do away with
sweatshOps. Let us protect our
women workers from unreaSOn-
ably long hours of employment
in tasks beyond their strength.
Let us be honorable and falr IN
our business dealings with each
other.
AVERT DEPRESSION
"Let us understand and con-
troll our economic system so that
it will no longer run wild at
intervals, smashing itself upon
the rocks and throwing millions
of men and women out of
work.
He urged social insurance, a
work program that would pro,
vide employment for all who
wanted employment and equal,
ization of farm prices with factory
prices-all parts of the New Deal
program.

NAME BROKERS
FOR LINT POOL
Firm Appointed to Give Out
u. S. Orders in New
York Market.

Times Special
NEW YORK, Oct. 28-The brok-
erage firm of Paine, Weber & Co.,
which has been appointed to man
age the transactions in cotton tu-
lures of the government cotton pool
under AAA jurisdiction, this week
will allocate the business among
Cotton Exchange Clearing Associa-
ton members.
This new arrangement, superced-
ing policy of passing the huge
business of AAA through six New
York City and one New Orleans
cotton firms, was determined joint
ly by Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A Wallace Jr. and Oscar Johnston,
management of the government cot
ton pool, following conferences with
the cotton trade.
A change in the brokerage set-up
for the government has been under
consideration since last June when
Robert j. Woods of Paine, Weber
& Co., carried a petition to Washing
ton protesting the practice of pass
ILlS oil SONC1 bAOrO1pSC
ness through small arbitrarily
chosen group of firms. Several
times since then the government
business has been the cause of dis
sension among the Cotton Exchange
membership.
The trade presumed that the AAA
officials would simply decrease the
volume of transactions going to their
customary brokerage representa-
tives and turn the trimmed portion
over to Paine, Weber & Co. to dis
tribute among various Cotton Elk
change member firms.
Under the new plan to be put in
operation" Mr.. Woods said, "a more
equitable distribution of the govern
ment business will be achieved and
it was for that purpose that the
change was determined upon.
Back in the days of the Federal
Farm Board under the Hoover Ad-
miniStration, cooperative broker
age business was handled exclusively
by one New York cotton brokerage
firm. The start off for AAA dis
tributed the business among seven
firms and the change now to be eff
fected will provide still more wide
spread distribution.
