Attack Planned
By Legionnaires

FRESNO, Calf, Aug. 10. U.H -
Greater denunciation of Commun-
ism and opposition to subversive
activities was promised today by
resolutions ready to be offered to
the annual state American Legion
convention.
Nine of 30 resolutions proposed
by the various posts on file here
urged greater efforts in the Le-
gions battle against radicals. The
proposals will be considered by the
resolutions committee and the con-
vention on Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Not one resolution mentions the
soldiers bonus. State Adjutant
James K. Fisk, said he had heard
of no plan to inject the issue into
the state convention.
Abrogation of American recog-
milton of Soviet Russia because of
alleged spreading of subverSive
propaganda in this country in vio-
lation of the recognition agree
ment, was proposed by the Bur-
liugame post.
San Francisco's Post No. ia sug-
gested a united front of the Legion
and other fraternal and patriotic
organizations against Communists.
other resolutions would praise
the American Federation of Labor
for its fight against Reds, would
designate May Day for series Of
LOYALTY" demons tr tions, and
would advocate registration and
close supervision of all aliens.

MADE: AGAINST
mrs. SE: WELL. |.

LOS ANGELES, Aug, 10. UP) -
Leah Clampitt SeWell, who has
been in court almost continuously
for the past six months, today was
accused by her husband, Barton
SeWell, millionaire yachtsman, of
misconduct with a colored stew
ard.
The charge was contained in
SeWells answer to her separate
maintenance suit.
The SeWells figured recently in
the sensational wife trading" di-
vorce suit between Walter Emer-
son, actor, ana mis- wife, Mrs. Jane
Scholtz Emerson.
Since then Mrs. SeWell was
named correspondent in the di-
vorce action the wife of Buster
Keaton filed against her comedian
husband.
In hsi answer to his Wife's sepa-
rate maintenance suit today, Sc
we'll admitted association with Mrs.
Emerson. He claimed the associa-
ton was subsequent to his separa-
ton from Mrs. SeWell. This sepa-
ration, he contended, was forced by
his wife's misconduct.
Sewell now is in Las Vegas Ne
yada, where he has brought a di-
vorce action against his wife.
SeWell claimed the asserted mis-
conduct between Mrs. SeWell and
the "colored steward" took place
on a vacation cruise on the Sc
well yacht in Alaskan waters.
The answer recited that the
SeWells were accompanied on the
trip by three guests and the regu-
lar crew Included in the crew was

Union leaders made most of pro-
tests against the WPA wage scale
in more than a dozen cities. The
New Jersey Federation of Labor in
formed Gov. Harold G.. Hoffman by
telegram that it would support
strikes on every WPA Job begun in

scales were paid. Alfred Ellis. head

would refuse to work for WPA.
Union labor officials delivered
similar ultimatums in Ohio, Iowa,

President William Green of the A.

ation's executive council and said
he feared widespread strikes.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. UP) -
! mo work; no food"-that was the
/ new deals" answer today to work
! erS rebelling against the S19 to S94
a month security wage paid under
the S4,O00,0O0,00O employment pro-
/ gram.
The ultimatum came straight
| from President Roosevelt and Har-
ry L. Hopkins, works progress adj
Ininistrator. The administration
they said will not retreat from
that stand.
They refused to admit labor could
strike to combat their security
pay in New York City although
900 workers are expected to quit
their jobs by Monday.
The laborers, Mr.. Roosevelt eX-
planned, are not striking-they have
returned to their homes. There will
be no effort, he added, to bring
them out again.
He outlined this procedure as his
policy to silence the protests: Have
Hopkins, as relief administrator,
refuse TO give home relief to all
recalcitrant needy. They can work
, or so hungry.
He said he knew of no move
within the administration to in
crease the pay work-relief workers
now are receiving, Sl9 for unskilled
, laborers in the south to $3.50 for
, skilled workmen in the larger met
> ropolitan centers.
, Hopkins, it was learned, has de-
cided not to arbitrate labor's pro-
] tests despite predictions from VIII
liam Green, American Federation
; OF Labor president, that the trou-
) BILE will spread to other cities.
Increased wages would hinder the
program in putting 100000 men
to work with its $4,000. 100000 be-
cause more of the money would go
for labor Hopkins said.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. TO- U.P -
Success of the Presidents Los An
geles jobs program was threatened
today as opposition of eastern Or
ganized labor to the Works Prog
ress Administration security wage"
spread to he Los Angeles Central
Labor council.
The local executive council has
voted strong opposition to the "se-
curity wage" and intends to resist
it Ito the last ditch" J. w. Buzzell,
secretary Of the council, announced.
Action which may take the form
Of a mass protest meeting of all
organized labor in Los Angeles
county on Labor day, September 2,
or issuance OF an executive order
from the council forbidding union
workers to accept work on WPA
projects may be taken, Buzzell pre-
dicted.
Such an order, Buzzel said, would
disrupt the WPA program since the
! council has a membership Of 5000
men, comprising the bulk of the
Skilled Works S in the county.
IF the WPA wage scale went in
I" effect in Los Angeles county. the
result would be the establishment
of starvation wage, not only on
relic: projects but in private in
dustr5 as Well,' Buzzel said.
The security wage, tentatively
set in she county at s55 month
for common laborers to S96 for
skilled labor, would have ten
dency to Uring all wages down to
this level hs said.
Existing union wage mlnimums
ranging from 62l5 cents an houI
for common labor, and 81 an houl
for skilled labor upward, would bf
reduced at least so per cent, ht
predicted.

Board Kept seesawing

Roosevelt presumably knows that if Smith and Henderson were voting, the liberal majority would consistently uphold meas ures for labor and consumer pro lection and that Williams and Whiteside, thus rendered impotent, probably would resign.
 At present Leon Marshall, the fifth voting member, moves from left to right and back again.
 Roosevelt obviously doesn't want either a clear conservative or q clear liberal majority dominating MIRA at present. The existing sit- uation makes 1t easier to dominate that show by taking a hand in any critical issue.
 Nevertheless, at the recent night White House conference, when re- covery agency heads were sum- moned to discuss the future of MIRA, the president took a much more advanced position as 10 fu- ture government supervision over industry than has been shared by Williams or Co-ordinator Donald Richberg,
