100000 MEN
AFFECTED
BY MOVE
Plant Organizer Dillon Sends
Word to A. F. of l. Units
in All Auto Factories

DETROIT, March 1 GN.S).
The American Federation Of La.
Dor today announced it has asked
its membership in the motor
plants to decide whether a gen.
eral motor strike shall be called.
Francis j. Dillon, chief auto
plant organizer, announced at
10:30 a. n. today that the auto
workers council of the A. F. of L.
has ordered q strike vote in
the Federations 176 automobile
unions.
If the workers vote to strike,
the council will call the walkout,
affecting approximately 100000
men, Dillon said.
Number Not Known
Whether the Federation of La
Dor locals have sufficient member.
ship to make a strike effective at
this time, is unknown. Elections
held by the Automobile Labor
Board to choose collective bargain
ing representatives have resulted
in about per cent vote for A.
F.. of L. candidates. But the labor
leaders explain this by the claim
that their men were instructed
not to take part in the elections,
and that many of them who did
vote voted "unaffiliated."
Asked today what the member
ship of the 176 unions totals,
Mr.. Dillon said:
II am not in a position to
make a statement on that at
this time. The membership
figures are continually fluctu-
ating. l would rather not be
quoted on any specific figure"
Board Repudiated
The A. F.. of l.. action results
from the rift between the labor
unions and the Automobile Labor
Board, which President Roosevelt
set up almost exactly year ago
to avert a similar strike threat.
The federation recently served
notice on the White House that
it had repudiated the Labor
OOoANAs anu WONAO 1lCA1SCAOA VA4 PAO
ceed Independently toward agree
ments with the employers.
Chief cause of the Federations
bitter feeling toward the board,
headed by DR.. Leo Wolman, is
the boards insistence upon the
principle of proportional repre-
sentation" on collective bargain
ing. The A. F.. of l.. maintains
the principle of majority rule"
Points in Dispute
Briefly. the two principle are as
follows:
Proportional Representation
The thesis that when workers
in a plant are divided as to who
shall represent them in collec-
tive bargaining activities, each
agency shall be empowered in
proportion to the strength Of
it's backing among the workers.

NEW REGIME OF
 AUSTRIA WTLLBE
 FRIEND TO ITALY
Prince Ernst Rudiger won Stafhemberg Personal
 Adniirer of MhssOlini
By ROBERT H. BEST (Copyright 1895 By United Press)


 Vienna, Oct. 18-(UP)-Prince Ernst Rudiger Won starhemberg, friend and admirer of Benito Mus solini, today ordered full speed ahead toward consolidation of his virtual dictatorship over Austria.
 The fascist vice-chancellor, whose power overshadows the nominal au- thority still resting in the hands of Chancellor Kurt Gchuschnigg after yesterdays bloodless coup, took his first step toward control of the country by consolidating all military organizations into unified nation al militia.
 Position Strengthened
 His position was further bul- warked when 5000 of the lower Autrian Heimwehr marched into Vienna. They will take paft tonight in a torchlight, demonstration in fa- vor of the new government.
 The opinion prevails in Vienna that Austria, under Starhemberg's leadership, will inevitably display strong Italian leanings and conse- quently will be less friendly to Eng land and the League.
 The attitude of Austria's "stfong man" toward restoration of Arch duke Otto to the Austrian throne is not entirely clear. While he has long been an openly declared nonarchist he is known to have always been avid of personal power. It is regard ed as significant that Major Emil Fey, minister of interior in the oust- ed cabinet, still remains at the head of the Vienna Heimwehr. The Sec- ond most important cabinet change was removal from the ministry of agriculture of Joseph Reither, peas- ant leader. Fey is replaced by Major Baar Won Baarenfels, also Heim- wehr leader enjoying great popu- larity among the Catholic element of lower Austria. Reither resumed his position as governor of lower Austria today.

YOUNG STAMFORD
 NURSE ON TRIAL

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 18.-UP) -Garbed in mourning and sitting beside a court matron, Mrs. Ada M. Schueler, young Stamford nurse. to- day followed closely the selection of the jury which will try her on a second degree murder charge in connection with the fatal beating of her 9-year-ol(l stepdaughter, Mari- lyn, last month. Conviction carries a mandatory life sentence. Two other verdicts can be rendered, not guilty and manslaughter, the latter carrying maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
 Three jurors were needed today before the state opened it's case. The state charged Mrs. Schueler caused Marilyn'S death by beating her be- cause she refused to eat her lunch when she returned from school Sept. 6. The child died before she could be taken to doctors of- flee. Mrs. Schueler will plead emo- tional insanity, according to defense counsel. Her husband was expected to be a witness for the state. He announced after the results of ai, autopsy had been made known he would not aid his wife's defense.

voked attack by Germany or any other power. While Britain has re- fused to give any blanket assurance that she will give such help without first having an opportunity to study the circumstances of the particular case, it is likely that she will be able to formulate some sort of pledge that will satisfy France. The result of this diplomatic ma- neuvering will be that Britain will go ahead at full steam with the pro- gram she has already launched to stifle Italy's trade and finances.
 Competent observers abroad, how ever, do not believe such measures will be enough to stop Italy soon enough to suit Britain. At Geneva they are already talking of the early probability of a naval blockade and the closing of the Mediterranean and Red sea.
 Mussolini Stands Firm
 Then there will be trouble. In all this long and tiresome business, Mussolini has not backed down at any time on single point. He has plainly stated that a blockade means war and i've will reply to acts of war with acts of war"
 Naval experts agree that the Ital- ian naval and air fleet can put up lively resistance in the Mediterran- can even against the powerful Brit ish concentration.
 At the same time, the big Italian army in Libya can cause plenty of trouble, and it is conceivable that the imposing legions massed in the north of Ethiopia can divert their attention from the black men and push across the border of the Anglo Egyptian sudan towards Khartoum.
 England Puts Screws On
 London, Oct. 18-(UP)-Close CO., operation between France and Eng land in efforts to bring the Italo- Ethiopian war to speedy end were forecast today in well-informed cir- cles. S
 A joint Anglo French effort to re- store peace in East Africa, it was believed, will be based upon rapid imposition upon Italy of all sanc- tions applicable under League of Nations authority.
 The program for halting Musso- lini's conquest of Ethiopia will be decided upon in the next "A hours, it was predicted. There was strong feeling here that Frances reply to London's request for plain ives" or mo" answer on French assistance in the Mediterranean in the event of an attack on the British fleet will be affirmative.
 Evidence is multiplying that John Bull is determined to bring the full force of article XVI of the League covenant to bear upon Mussolinl.
 The air ininistry's plans for ex- pansion of the Royal air force pro- vide for construction of IS types of aircraft, mostly bombing machines Two thousand machines will be built between now and March, 1887. Air craft factories all over Great Britain are already organized to meet the heaviest rush of work they have ever had.
