He told of the steps the commission
is taking to protect the mortgage in
vestor from fraud, and declared that
in mo other field of investment was
the purchaser so completely betrayed"
as in the real estate mortgage market
in boom days. He predicted great
revival Of building, but stated that
before promises can be translated into
realities three essential factors must
be introduced. He stated the cost Of
housing must be brought down in re-
lation to other costs; a new technique
of real estate financing must be in
troduced to take the curse of the
mortgage" and confidence of the in
vesting public must be restored in
real estate securities.
President Walter S. Schmidt in his
opening address, Gov. Harold G. Hoff-
man of New Jersey and Glenn Frank,

useful purpose. but should be dis

DIRT FARMERS

WAR BOILING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. U.P)-
Dirt farmers in their Sunday best
kept the potato situation boiling to-
day by gaining ground in their de-
mand that the new deal" enforce
the jail-for- r-pota o-bootleggers law
John B. HutSon, the AAA direct
or for potatoes, indicated that
compulsory control of potato pro-
duction as provided in the hotly
disputed Warren bill would be put
into operation. 1t was understood
that AAA officials, who had con-
sidered the regulations unenforc-
able, hoped to arrange a referen-
dunn among growers as soon as pos
sible to determine whether the pro-
visions of the measure could be
carried out.
AS the hearing resumed today
producers of potatoes spoke on the
necessity of higher prices for their
vegetables.
Herbert G. zukerman, Berkeley,
Calf, potato expert, producing
5000 carloads a year, read an essay
lauding the Warren bill. He said
he thought potatoes lately have been
receiving too much publicity, most
OF 1t humorous. and that the DO

teen hundred policemen doing ex-
ira duty kept the Italian-Ethiopian
war within bounds today in Har-
lem. A policeman and an Ethiop-
ian sympathizer were injured and
another Negro arrested before the
peace was assured.
Chief Inspector John j. Seery
said disputes between Negroes and
Italians were SO frequent and vio-
lent that one-tenth of the entire
police force would be maintained
on overtime reserve duty.
In the first major disorders aris-
ing from the African conflict, po-
lice used clubs and gun butts to
drive about $50 Negroes, angered
by flourishing of a police revolver,
from the front door of police
station. The Negroes said that

Negro picket line before an Italian
food store a patrolman pointed a

drove across a run in the eleventh
inning today to defeat the Chicago
Cubs to 5 in the third game OF
the world series.
The battle. which gave the Tigers
a two to one lead in the series, had
everything. Both clubs paraded the
Sesrength of their pitching staffs,
HiiAiluding the two aces, Lonnie War
neke of the Cubs and Schoolboy
Rowe of the Tigers. There were
half dozen sensational catches,
and four of the combatants-ln-

umpires were Woody English and
George Stainback of the Cubs and
Coach Del Baker of the Tigers.
It was tough battle for the Cubs
to lose for they staged magni-

Rowe's fireballs in the last half OF
the ninth to drive across two runs
and knot the count at SIS.
The Cubs, however, were not thy
only gamesters on the field today.
The Tigers, too, had to come BOOM

clSion. Licked to fragile in the
first seven innings, they went into
the eighth trailing 1-3. Then,
without warning, they wheeled their
big guns onto the firing line and
laid down barrage which brought
them four runs off Big Bill Lee,

PUBLIC WORKS
WORKERS WIN
WAGE BATTLE

WASHINGTON, Oct. A. W.P)-
Strengthening out tangled wage
and employment requirements him
dering the 1925, 100000 public works
program, Administrator Harold L.
Ickes today ordered that construc-
ton workers should be paid pre-
vailing wages.
1t was also announced that, for
public works projects, President
Roosevelt had waived his rule that
80 per cent of all labor should
come from relief rolls in cases
where sufficient relief labor is
unavailable"
Both announcements were inter-
preted as victories for organized
labor which sought prevailing pay
and opposed the administrations
decision that only relief roll needy
could qualify for work.
PWA has been paying prevail
ing wages as of April, 1888. The
new order, effective on all con-
tracts after October 9, makes pres
ent day rates effective lin accord
ance with local wage conditions"
The problem had been puzzling
program administrators inasmuch
as projects financed in part from
PWA's original $3,3OO,OOO,OOO ap-
preparation and part from the new
fund, were being forced to use two
different scales.
Until today's action, Works Prog
ress Administrator Harry L. Hop
kinS had insisted that 80 per cent
of all labor on any work project
must come from relief rolls.

United Press Staff CGrreSpOnden1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - The
United States is expected to fol-
low, at least for the time being, the
League of Nations attitude toward
the Italo-E Ethiopian conflict, high
staff department circles indicated
today.
This means that this government
probably will go slow in the formal
proclamation by President Roose-
velt establishing an arms and mum
ltions embargo against Italy and
Ethiopia, and a declaration by this
government that it considers that
a state of war exists eetWeen the
two countries.
Officials here indicated nothing
could be gained by hasty action in
asmuch as practically no war sup
plies have been sent from this
country to Italy during the past
year, and none whatever have gone
to Ethiopia. Any practical effect
to be gained by a formal declara-
ton of an arms erAbargo against
the two countries would be achiev-
ed on moral grounds only, and this
could be done by making the declar-
alton after the league has taken a
definite stand and declared the ex-
istence of a state of war.
This government was reported
anxious to cooperate, insofar as
constitutional and legal limitations
will permit, with the league in its
effort to preserve peace. About
the only practical contribution
which this government apparent
ly can make in the present situa-
tion is to voice aloud the senti-
ment, I'VE are with you to the last
ditch, in principle"

LONDON, Oct. Awhile war
RACES today in East Africa, peace in
Europe hangs by a very slender
thread.
Even before military penalties are
voted-there is constant danger, in
voteW-there is constant danger, in
view of the naval and air concen-
tration and the mining Of the Med
iterranean, of some accident or in
cident which might bring Italy in
to war in Europe.
The danger of such an incident
was illustrated today when ship
ping circles reported Italian ports
were being mined and all Dollar
Line vessels were ordered to omit
calls at such ports. For weeks,
other lines have been ordering
their vessels to detour from the
Mediterranean, giving as the reason
the high war risk insurance rates
in itself significant omen.
When Premier Benito MuSsolini
told me in an interview six weeks
ago that settlement of the Ethi-
opian problem must be something
radical and conclusive" and Italy
will pursue her aims with Geneva,
without Geneva or against Cen
eva" I was convinced he was not
bluffing.
Today's news from Africa, where
the Italian troops are in action on
all fronts after the ruthless bomb
ing of two Ethiopian towns, affords
ample Substantiation that he was
not.
No Bluff.
His words of two days ago also
do not strike one as bluff-"To
military measure; to acts OF
with military meaureS; to acts of
war we shall reply with acts of
war"
Tomorrow's news from Geneva,
where the council will meet for the
gravest decision in its history,
therefore will be pregnant with the
most dire possibilities.
Europe is faced now with the
staggering problem Of stopping the
war in Ethiopia without letting it
spread in Europe. Britain and
France are on the horns of a di-
lemma. They have committed
themselves to stopping Mussolini
and they cannot back down. On
the other hand, economic penalties

The Italian army of the north

today in the wake of bombing planes
that attacked the towns in its
