TRUCE INDICATED
IN FRENCH STRIKE
BIum's Government Agrees
to Halt Occupation
of Factories.
BACKGROUND


Workers in France tollowed elec-
ton pictory OF Lettists BY folded
arms" strike iChtch pdrdlyzed ar
terieS OF manufacture and COM
merce. Premier Blum, true to his
constituents, refused to use force to
clear factories, manned but idle.
Eventually, lawmakers boued to
strikers demands for 40-hour ,ceek
and numerous pay raises.
~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 25-Olive branches Of
industrial and political peace were Of
fered by the French government today.
The Popular Front administration
agreed to halt further occupation Of
factories by striking workmen, dele
cation of French Chambers Of Com
merce officials reported.
The CroiX de Feu won a new lease on
life wnen the government announced
the Right!st League would be permitted
to continue as political party on
the condition 1t drops all semblance Of
private militia"
The Chambers Of Commerce repre-
sentatives said they received assurance
from Premier Leon Blum no further
manufacturing plants would be tied up
by folded arms" strikers, whose num-
bers at their height approximated l.
100000 employees.
The chambers demand, the dele
gates said, was based on the general
accord reached between strikers and
employers June Z, which provided for
evacuation Of the plants.
The premier's Office declined to give
official confirmation to the report, but
did not deny it. Blum made express
reserves" it was said, in discussing the
labor situation with the group.
The continued existence of Rightist
organizations, which the cabinet Or
dered dissolved q week ago, presumably
extended to all four leagues, but the
peace offer was made specifically only
to the followers of Col. Francois de la
ROGUE.
IF the Croix De Feu constitutes it
self as a political party, that forma-
ton is perfectly legal" the govern
ment announcement said. "The gov
ernment never contemplated dissolu-
tion Of any political party"
Hasty revision of the leagues status
from what the cabinet called a COM
bat group and private militia" to that
of a political party followed the dis
bandment order.

including an American. from the
streets and side,Dalks as 5000 jap
anese troops marched to an army
denomination.
The American inpolped was re-
ported to be Capt. Henry S. Jerni-
gan, attached to the United States
Embassy as language student. The
Cavalry officer, in cipilian clothes,
aDds declared to haze pushed aside
a Japanese bayonet to avoid being

PEIPING, June 25.-Protest against
the rude, rought treatment" Of Amer
lean citizens during q military display
Tuesday was lodged with the Japanese
Embassy today by Nelson T. johnson,
United States Ambassador to China.
The official protest. complaining Of
the activities Of Japanese soldiers, was
made on instructions from Washing
ton.
The Japanese Embassy replied it
would submit the complaint to the
Japanese commandant and make q
formal answer later.
Woman Threatened With Sword.
Ambassador Johnson's complaint did
not name the Americans involved and
the embassy declined to disclose them,
but one was presumed to be Capt.
Henry 8. Jernigan, attached to the
United States Embassy. The other
was believed to be a woman who was
reported threatened with q sword by
Japanese offlcer to force her from
the pavement on q legation street
while Japanese soldiers were march,
ing.
The French Embassy also made
representations concerning the uncere-
monious handling of the wife and
child Of an ofiicer attached to the
French Embassy.
All the incidents occurred at a time
when virtually the entire legation
quarter was under occupation by
Japanese troops, who for reasons un-
stated were posted outside the United
States, German. French, Soviet and
Belgian Embassies and at foreign
banks In the quarter.
Parade Daily.
Ever since the arrival Of reinforce
ments last week, the Japanese soldiers
have paraded noisily and daily
through the legation quarter. with
trumpets blaring. apparently for the
purpose Of impressing the Chinese.
United States observers pointed out
the Japanese now have more troops
in Tientsin than all other powers to-
gether.
Japan has been acquiring additional
buildings in the legation quarter for
military administrative purposes and
officers quarters.
Tension between the Chinese and
Japanese has become so acute that
foreign observers feared serious
incident might take place at any
time to provoke further Japanese mill
fary increases in North China.

DO you consider the position

representing the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration's attitude at Washing
tom" Adams asked.
Cold Attitude
Parker replied that he was sure
he would have been notified Of any
change in the FCA's attitude.
Adams statement continued:
Upon further questioning him 1
asked # he was IN the valley dur
ing the month Of November, 1885,
in company with Goss. He said he
was. I asked, Did you two gentle
men meet with any public officials
in session on that visit, or any
individual public official not in ses-
sion? He said, No! ! then told
him that it was known in advance
by the Imperial Irrigation District
office thai Cess would be in the
valley at that time.
The cold attitude OF Parker, his
statement about Goss' decision and
the fact Goss vas in the valley and
not desiring to see any officials,
and the Imperial Irrigation District
officials apparently having no de-
sire to contact him, certainly con-
vinces me that the land owners
of Imperial Valley can absolutely
expect no relief from either the
Federal Land Bank Of Berkeley or
the Farm Credit Administration al
Washington, il favorable action de-
pends upon Parker and Goss.'

RATE PAYMENTS
ANNOUNCED IN
SOIL PROGRAM

Tho rates of navments which Cal
ifornia farmers NAV earn for spe-
cific soil-building practices under
the 1896 AGRICULTURAL conservation
program have been announced by
the Agricultural Adjustment ad-
rr1inistration's regional office in
Berlelev. following formal approx
NJ of the practices and rates by
Secretary o. Agriculture Wallace
The practices follow. in general. the
recommendations made by the state
committee for California. and are
= especially adopted to California
conditions.
The payments are to be made for
new seedlings of legumes and peren-
nial grasses. for seeding and plow,
ing under of green manure crops,
for planting forest trees for terrac-
ing and gully control, for protecting
summerfallow by specific methods,
and for perennial weed eradica-
ton. The rates of payment repre-
sent a Substantial proportion of the
overall cost of putting the prac-
tices into operation but are not in
tended to cover the full cost. The
payments will be made later in the
year after compliance is checked in
each county.
If grasses and legurnes are plant
! ed with nurse or companion crop
which is harvested for grain or hay
the acreage SO used is eligible to be
classified as a soil-building practice,
! but is NOT TO be regarded as de-
voted to a soil-conserving crop.
Farmers may substitute acreage
devoted to approved soil-building
practices of terracing and gully con-
troll, cultivated fallow, and weed
eradication for soil-conserving crops
and thus qualify for conserving
payments on that acreage.
II is pointed out. that the limit
of the soil-bui,ding payments which
farmers may earn is the soil build
ing allowance for the farm. This
: is determined by multiplying the
number Of acres in soil concerning
crons or uses on the farm by sl00
Detailed information as to these
. rates for specific soil-building prac-
tices may be obtained by attending
any Of the 10 Community Agricul-
tural Conservation meetings that

In all soil-building practices good
seed must be used and the land
must be handled III a manner ap-
proved for the locality. If any

ished free by any government agen.

ance companies, according 10 a
tabulation issued this week by the

newspaper. These are only the
claims paid on the lives of those
who died while their life insurance

This is an average of 260 claims
totaling over Sl80,O0O for each
business day on persons who had
taken out new insurance during
the previous u months. They were
in good health at the time OF
examination or they would not
have been insured. yet accidents
and sudden illnesses took a toll
of nearly $4,000 persons, involving
insurance OF over 54 million dol

This is even more significant
when it is realized that one in

Papa Emil Kaspar was doing well

and sugar were fed them from an

have, doctors said, a good chance
Of living.
While 47-year-old Papa Kaspar
puzzled over columns OF figures and
made wan jokes about getting a
box car in which to take his fam

indicated he would see to it that
the city or state assumed the eX-
pense of caring for the children
for a limited time at least.
Did Town Favor
The mayor, who likes to drive
around town with seven or eight
children in his car, said the Kas-
pars had done Passaic a great hon

of the four F's. He will seek TO
have the matter presented to the
