Responsible for Main.
tanning Order.
ey the Associated Press.

SEATTLE. August 21.-Gov. Clar-
ence D. Martin laid responsibility to-
day for maintaining order in the Sc
attic Post -Intelligencer's nine-day-old
news room strike at the doors OF
municipal and King County authori-
ties.
Declaring claw and order have not
failed in Seattle" the Governor In
q radio address at Portland, Greg,
saw no occasion to talk Of use Of the
State patrol" or "even to think OF
the National Guard"
"The primary responsibility for
maintaining law and order and pro-
tecting the rights and safety of the
citizens rests on constituted authori-
ties of the city or county in which
the difhculty occurs" the Governor
asserted.
Assails Editorial.
He lashed out at what he called an
"inflammatory editorial" dealing with
the strike called by the Seattle Chap
ter of the American Newspaper Guild
August Is in protest against the dis
charge of two guild members. Hearst
newspaper executives asserted the
men were dismissed for cause. Strikers
said they were discharged for guild
activity.
The Governor expressed hope for
arbitration and rendered his services.
Guild pickets patrolled the closed
plant where publication was sus-
pended August IA. A few police were
on hand.
There was no intimation from either
side that the end of the deadlock was
in sight or negotiations under way.
Hearst States Views.
In a statement from Rome. Italy.
William Randolph Hearst, publisher
of the P-I. said:
1T has cost me over a million dol
lars to conduct my paper in Seattle
all through the depression and up to
date.
If the Communists want to relieve
me of that cost and of the duty CT
supplying jobs to labor. it is not an
unmixed evil I would save money.
However. there Is a greater issue
at stake than saving money.
There is the issue Of free press
and a free country.
mo press is free that Is subject to
mob rule.
mo country is free where the pub
lie officials are too cowardly or to-
corrupt to protect the fundamental
rights of loyal and law-abiding citi-
zens."

GUILD MAKES REPLY.
Fair Working Conditions Is Held
"Real Issue"

Real issue.
NEW YORK, August 81 P.-The
American Newspaper Guild, in a state
ment last night, asserted that "the
real issue involved" in the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer strike 'is the right
of organized newspapermen to seek
fair working conditions, and the
right of other organized workers to
support them In strike brought on
by the denial of those conditions"
The statement. signed by Haywood
Broun, international president. de-
MED that the strike had led to ter
rorism and the breakdown Of law
and order In Seattle.
Replying to a statement issued by
the general management Of Hearst
newspapers. it said that this manage
ment. while declining conferences to
end the strike. "is filling downtown
Seattle hotels with armed men. termed
loyal workers imported from Los An
geles and San Francisco"
It denied that there has been vio-
lence on the part Of trade unions
picketing the Post-Intelligencer. but
said many of the trade unionists have
been assaulted and that the Hearst
management "is using its immense
Nationwide resources to confuse the
public mind and befuddle and mis-
represent the ISSUE"
The Guild charged that workers i'm
ported by Hearst from other cities
wore fake Identification buttons of
local unions and "cruise the city In
cars, beating up picketS and terr0riz-
ing the wives Of strikers late at night
while their husbands are on the picket
line"
The Hearst management, it asserted,
breaks into Seattle radio programs
with attempts to incite a spirit of
mob violence against the duly con-
stituted authorities Of the city be-
cause they have refused to conoone
the reign of terror which Hearst has
already instituted" and quotes from
old kilograms of international presi-
dents of the printing crafts unions In
an effort to misrepresent the present
situation and make the strike appear
illegal.
The statement said that scores Of
labor unions In Seattle are actively
behind the strike; that the American
Newspaper Guild, an affiliate Of the
American Federation of Labor. as
sumes full responsibility for the strike
and its direction, and that Jonathan
Eddy. national executive secretary of
the guild. Is on the scene and in per-
sonsl charge.
The guild says It welcomes the aid
and cooperation Of other unions. Gin
Guiding the valuable and active aid Of
the teamsters, longshoremen and
woodsmen." and will 60 further by
seeking the backing of the entire Ia
Dor movement in America.
It adds that 'for the last six months
the American Newspaper Guild has
been engaged In a strike against
Hearst's Wisconsin News, in Milwau-
kee, where his cries of terror have
served to conceal the blunt refusal OF
the management to accord any form
of recognition to his exploited en-
ployes."

1900 EMPLOYEES
CUT 0FFR.A.STAFF
$4,000 of $4,000 in
0verpayments Still Is
Outstanding.
By the Associated Press.


A reduction Of 5000 workers in the
staff of the Resettlement Administra-
ton was reported today by M. E. Gill
fond, information director, coincident
with disclosure that employees of that
agency had received $181 900 too much
through duplicate pay checks and
overpayments up to last September.
Gilfond said the Resettlement Ad-
ministration's overpayments had been
repaid SO that now only $4,000 re-
manned outstanding. He added that
such bookkeeping errors" had hap
pened in several New Deal agencies"
but generally had been Strengthened
out"
The spokesman for Rexford g.
Tugwells agency said the errors were
due chiefly to taking over numerous
rural rehabilitation corporations
throughout the country that formerly
operated under the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration.
Lists Made Out in Advance.
PAY rolls must be made out eight
days in advance" he said. In the
shift from payments by headquarters
here to regional agencies. there was
some duplication between last June
and September. Part Of the money
oerpaid went to employees who re-
signed or were separated during the
eight days checks were made In ad-
vance"
Gilfond said the same thing had
happened when he was working in
Florida and relief STATS were shifted
from IF. e. r. A. to w. p. A." He
said that through later audits the
overpayments and Implications were
returned.
Noting that the $1s1. 900 had been
cut to less than $4,000. Gilfond said
much of this would be collected be-
cause no one could get Job Of any
kind until money he owed was repaid

Reduction Is Natural"
Regarding the recent contraction
in the number of Re Httlement Ad-
this was a natural sitting down In
all New Deal agencies" as they pass
through Organization phases"
He said reductions had taken place
both in the field and in Washington
through Combination of Offices and
duties" He predicted that reduction
Of personnel would continue for an
other 80 days"
Administrative workers had been
cut from 10000 three months ago to
10000, he said.

occurred. They had been up 1000 feet
or more. It was believed at the air
station that Comdr. Arthur was bring
ing the plane back to the station when
1t made its fatal dive into the bay. No
one at the base would venture an opin-
ion as to what caused the crash.
Witbeck's Body Removed.
H. B. Topping of Norfolk was about
rs yards from the scene Of the crash,
and he was first to reach the plane.
He removed the body of Witbeck from
the cockpit and held it above water
until Navy craft reached him.
He said he saw the plane fall while
he was reaching his own boat in
which he had been fishing In Little

my boat to the tail of the plane,
which was visible above water" Top

say practically all the ribs of his
right side we're broken and he had an
internal hemorrhage He was bleed

season Of holidays the trains are full
with vacationists from the humblest
walks of life who go to the sea or
to the mountains at the expense Of
the government. Hundreds Of thou
sands Of children are being sent to
camps for at least one month. Mus
solini keeps the nation happy, al
though the laboring classes draw
smaller wages than in almost any
country in western Europe. What
they lack in pay they get In play.
Italo-American children come even
from the United States for their vaca-
ton. The Italian communities pay
ship for transportation and II Duce
sees that they are taken care of in
Italy's summer resorts.
According to the government. the
unemployment problem is no longer
serious; there are less than 1,200. 900
unemployed in this country. And that
Is correct as far as government statis-
tics 60 because they count only the in
dustrial workers and the dependent and
independent craftsmen. some 5000. 900
people, to which must be added some
half q million white collar workmen.
Farm Workers Not Included.
But for reason of their own the
government statisticians do not in
clude the agricultural workers; they
say that these people can look after
themselves. The total populations
connected with agriculture is esti-
mated at about 100000 people, of
whom less than 3,0Oo,o 900 own the
land and 100000 are tenant farmers.
The rest are crop sharers and farm
hands. How many of them are un-
employed. it is difficult to say. There
are no statistics available But 1t Is
believed that at least 100000 of them
live from hand to mouth, sleep in
the fields and are Just little better
than beggars.
The agricultural corporation Is en-
deavoring to take care of them; but
since they are peasants. consequently
an element less likely to cause social
disturbances. relief comes to them
slower.
Jobless Cause No Worry.
The unemployment problem causes
only little worry in Italy. II Duce
realizes that unemployment must ex-
ist in every country. In Italy. he be-
lieves, this question will be solved
when the old generation passes out of
existence. The young men of Italy
won't know it. They will find jobs
in the country after they finish their
military service, at, the age of %, and
those who have no room here will find
ample opportunity for their activities
IN Ethiopia
For the time being no settlement
scheme for that addition to the king
dom has been worked out. There are
only very few Fascists and soldiers
who have fought the East African
war who want to stay there; they
have had enough and Mussolini does
not urge them. He wants that coun-
try to be settled with the new gen.
Grafton, which is still in schools now.
In the meanwhile he is preparing the
country for them and, say the Italian
authorities, when we get through
with our organization plans Ethiopia
will be the Garden of Eden for Italy's
youth. Then there will be no longer
unemployment In this country"
