Approaching Crisis

Presidents Personal Representative Edward E. Me-
 Grady on Scene of Strike-UniOn Men Angry

wage increases granted later to be retroactive.
 McGrady telephoned to Mir. Roosevelt at Hyde Park, N. Y., late Saturday and told him complete deadlock existed and a coal strike was imminent. Operators and union leaders supported McGra- dy's opinion.
 The situation then was left in McGrady's hands, with the under standing that the president wante'l the mines kept open. The 7-day extension was the fifth granted this year at the administration $ request.
 Negotiations began again early yesterday, and last night McGrady said, i've met most of the day in friendly atmosphere. We are making progress"
 John l.. Lewis Stcadfast
 John L. Lewis, mine union pres- ident, was not optimistic. He characterized the sessions as "just another meeting"
 The impression was general that Lewis and his men had made their last concession, and that if no agreements are written this week, strike next Monday is certain.
 A large group of operators ap- peared willing to go at least part way with miners demands for average 10 per cent wage increas- es, but producers from Southern West Virginia, Alabama, and parts of Kentucky refused flatly to con- sider any kind of an increase. Some leading northern produc- CTS, also, were reported not alarmed over a possible brief ces- sation of mining operations, inas- much as there is 8 reserve stock of 39,0O0,000 tons. ~.. Two Govt. Moves
 Two government moves this week may influence the progress of wage negotiations. The district of Columbia supreme court today will hear the first case testing con- stitutionality of the Guffey act ere ating Little MIRA" in the soft coal industry. President Roosevelt has indicat- ed he will name the three-ma n federal commission early this week to administer the act. It sets up control similar to the coal code, and is looked to by the mine union and many operators to improve coal prices and generally bolster up the industry.

 They left the baby with us so they could attend church.
 Later they came back for din- ner. It was avery enjoyable meal. We talked and joked.

 He testified he shot Weiss 10 times.
 Roden told of struggling with Weiss and firing only when he be- came. convinced he could not wrest away the assassin's weapon.
 He said 1t was his opinion that Weiss fired only one shot.
 Roden said, he was 30 years old NI ierI, nd oh
 The question was asked, appar- ently, to contrast the two men who fought in the corridor after Long was wounded.
 We were in the house of repre- sentatives," Roden said. H e (Long) walked into the governor $ office. I waited at the door. "He came out and told somebody to have everybody there the next morning.

lDR. CARL WEISS
 l INQUEST BEGUN | AGAIN TODAY
Friends of Long Assassin Are Railing to Defend
 His Good Name

Baton Rouge. La. Sept. 16.- (CP) The inquest into the death of Dr. Carl A. Weiss, assassin of Sen. Huey P. Long. reopens today and is expected to become imme- diately sounding board for lead CTS of his all-powerful political machine and it's multitude of enemies.
 Longs sub-leaders were believed ready for an attempt to prove that some of Louisiana's most prom inent citizens, including four of her congressman, belonged to an as- sassination ring that designed Weiss as its tool.
 To Prove Him Martyr
 On the other hand, Weiss friends and patients were marshaling to prove him a young man of unim- peachable character who had no interest in politics and followed lofty ideals. The purpose, 1t was said, was to paint him martyr for representative government" Many of Longs political enemies, publicly and privately, have prais- ed Weiss as patriot who laid down his life with question"
 District Attorney H. Fred odom, an enemy of the Long machine who admits he attended the New Orleans conference of anti-Long politicians at which Long leaders maintain the assassination of their leader was plotted, will conduct today's inquest before Coroner Thomas B. Bird, who is generally regarded as favoring the Long regime.
 First Witness, Smith +
 First witnesses will be Gerald L. K. Smith, who is trying to snatch up Long's mantle as leader of the nationwide share the wealth movement and members of the state bureau of identification who served as Longs bodyguard. The latter will be questioned closely about why they fired 39 shots into Weiss body within a few seconds after he fired one shot at Long. Weiss friends charge he was "lynched."

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Pro-
gressives led a fight that forced
Democratic leaders today into de-
cision to appeal to President Roose-
welt for immediate guidance on his
tax-the-rich proposals.

down on tax proposals contained in
the Presidents special message
were made by a Senate group head
ed by Senator Robert NJ. La Fol-
lette prog, Wis., and in the House
by Rep. George J. Schneider (Progn

The whole tax situation was COM
plicated by the demand OF the Pro-
gressive bloc for action before adj
journment and a row between the
House and Senate over whether eX-
tension of nuisance taxes should
be for one or two years.
The White House, in transmitting
the message to Congress, indicated
that while the President desired
early passage of his tax levies on the
wealthy. he preferred to let Congress
decide when and how the measure
would be taken up
Neither House nor Senate lead
ers made any definite move until
confronted today by petition
signed by % Senators asking Con-
gress stay in session until a pro-
gram of increased taxes is enacted.
