LONDON. Nov. 23.-Italy's threats
against So world nations imposing
penalties on her for war-making

Gated today
Nation after nation, replying to
an Italian note sent to the penaliz-

HELD BACK BY WIND

Otherwise Devoid of

BY GEORGE KING
Second officer of the China Clipper
Written for United Press

ABOARD THE CHINA
CLIPPER, NEARING HOMO
LULU, Nov. % (By Radio)-
The China Clipper was streak
ing steadily toward Pearl Har-
Dor late this morning with
only a few hundred miles
to 90.
The precision of the flight is the
most wonderful experience of my
career. Hour by hour the instru-
ments in the cockpit fight deck are
making a strange record of this
amazing flight.
These instruments are the best re-
porters because, without errors,
they record every important OPP
Grafton aboard our airliner, from
temperature in the No. | cylinder
head of No. 3 engine, to the rate of
flow of gasoline into No. engine
and the barometric pressure under
the feeding valve.
The flight is not so much for
scenery, because there isn't any
thing else than an immense ex-
panse of ocean, although up to a
short time ago no one saw any
thing but solid clouds below and
stars and clouds above.
The only obstacle is that the
headwind that we have been buck
ing all night persists in pushing us
back from Is to 18 miles hourly.
Our predecessors over this route
the old China clippers of 100 years
ago. would have had an unpleasant
night of it, but. despite the head
winds, our clipper still is going as
far each hour as they would have
averaged in a day.
Never in the history of aviation
was there scheduled transport
flight like ours. Instead of fying
over the trackless ocean, we are
really rolling along an aerial high
way, marked out for us by our re-
markable radio compasses, enabling
lis to span the Pacific with the same
ease that an automobile follows a
carefully marked highway.

U. S. to Crack Down


WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The
A d m n iStration is considering
cracking down on abnormal exports
Of raw cotton to Italy. Secretary of
State Cordell Hull indicated today.
Hull made it plain the govern
ment has taken no steps as yet to
halt exports of cotton to Italy.
However, he indicated a study of
export figures is being made and if
cotton shows an abnormal increase
over the usual seasonal increase at
this period of the year some official
steps may be taken to curb the
trade
These probably would follow the
lines already taken to prevent large
increases in exports of American oil,
trucks, scrap iron and other essen
tial war materials"

CITY DEMANDS
SHARP REVISION
OF LIGHT RATE
Contract Offered by Com
pany Called 'UnreaSon-
able by Officials.

Directing criticism at the rate
asked by the Indianapolis Power
and Light Co. for supplying street
lighting and public building meter
service, city officials today said they
would demand new terms
Henry B. Steeg, city engineer, yes
terday criticised as unreasonable" a
proposed contract offered several
months ago by the light company.
Contract Expires Jan. /.
The present contract, an extern
sion of a 10-year agreement which
ended April i, will expire Jan. /,
1886.
The engineers report was re-
vealed after Mayor Kern met with
Works Board members, Mr.. Steeg,
Walter C. Boetcher city controller
and James f. Deery, corporation
counsel. While it had been in
ferred the city disliked terms pre-
sented by the utility, this is the first
time officials have given detailed
statement Of their stand.
The proposed contract would call
for net increase in yearly cost 20
the city of S94. 20 for street light
ing and meter service in public
buildings. Mr.. Steeg estimated.
Present Requirements
He figured the present contract
requires 1926 GAL "A for lighting and
$50 42544 for meter service. total
OF 1859, $685. Annual expense of
the new contract was estimated to
be S390332 80 for lighting and S27,-
1876 for meter service, or a total
Of S418,090.09.
Light company officials explained
this increase at the time the con-
tract was offered, by pointing out
that the city would purchase street
lighting equipment over a 10-yesr
period.
THE proposal was submitted on
basis of a 10-year contract" Mr.
Steeg explained. In that time, with
no additions or deductions from the
present system, the city would pay
an increased light bill of approx
mately $947000.
Basis of Proposal
The company's proposal is based
on the theory that the increased
amount is capital payment ex-
penditure rather than service
charge" he added. Attention is
called to the fact that at the ex-
piration of the proposed contract
the major part of the city's pur-
chase would be equipment that was
20 years Old
The Works Board intends to call
in light company officers for a con-
ference. Hubert S. Riley, president,
said. He indicated the meeting is
to be Wednesday in the board S
offices.
I'VE believe the proposals made
were the most practical we could
present" E. G. Ralston, executive
vice president and general man
ager of the utility said IF the city
has plan it wishes to discuss. we
will be glad to meet with Works
Board members"

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Presi-
dent John l.. Lewis Of the United
Mine Workers Union today resigned
as vice president of the American
Federation OF Labor
Lewis notice of resignation was
contained in a curt, brief letter to
President William Green of the Fed
Grafton.
1t marked the latest move in the
bitter fight between Lewis, an adj
vocate Of mass industrial unions
and Green and other old-line FED
Grafton leaders who support the
craft union systems
Lewis did not indicate what his
next move would be.
Resignation Follows Rebuke
Lewis resignation followed by
only u hours the delivery to him
of a bulky 25-page rebuke drawn
up by the executive council of the
Federation and attacking the mine
leader for his stand in behalf OF
vertical" unions.
The rebuke was written by Green
himself.
Lewis letter TO Green:
Dear Sir and Brother:
Effective this date. ! resign as a
vice president of the American
Federation of Labor
Sincerely Yours,
John L. Lewis
The Lewis-G Green fight reached its
height at the recent Atlantic City
convention.
Following defeat of his program
for industrial unionism on the con-
vention floor Lewis and his lieu
tenants announced formation of a
council to pool their resources and
~carry the fight into the field.
While Lewis could not be reached
for immediate comment on his reSig
nation. it was interpreted IN labor
circles as indicating that he would
intensity his fight for organization
of strong unions by industries rather
than by crafts.
Garry Fight to Opponents
With the industrial union council
formed by representatives of mine
workers, textile workers, garment
workers, typographical union and
other existing industrial unions as
a basis, Lewis would be in position
to carry the fight into his opponents
camp.
The council already has pledged
its resources both financial and of
personnel to aid the development Of
industrial unions wherever an OPP
portunity for organization is pre-
Sented.
The convention fight at Atlantic
City indicated that Lewis has strong
support in the Federation behind
his move. Although the crafts dele
gates managed to defeat most OF his
proposals. Lewis mustered between
80 and 40 per cent of the delegate
votes, substantial increase over in
dustrial union strength at any pre-
ViOuS convention
