LEWIS DECLARES
RAISE TOO LOW
1929 Increase for Steel
Workers Convincing of
Power, He Says.
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH. November John
L. Lewis. president of the United
Mine Workers, called the 10 per cent
steel wage increase today welcome"
but inadequate"
Leader of the drive to bring all the
steel workers into one big union,
Lewis predicted that the raise will
do more to make the workers of the
country conscious Of their power than
anything that's happened for q long
while"
Lewis described the negotiations be-
tween steel management and the en-
ploye-representatives that preceded
announcement Of the increase, as
shadow boxing to mislead the
steel workers and the public to be-
lieve they (management) are bar
gaining collectively with their en-
ployes.''
He made these statements at q
press conference before a meeting of
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization and its Steel Workers Organi-
zation Committee.
Meantime reports that additional
employe-representatives had agreed
to the raise were made public by the
steel companies, while union sources
said that some had rejected it.
Effective November I6.
Philip Murray, vice president of the
miners and director of the organiza-
ton drive, said that the increase would
60 into effect throughout the industry
November Is whether or not the en-
ploye-representatives agreed.
Lewis said that the main trouble
with the increase was that it would
freeze" the steel workers standard
OF living at its July Is. 1885, level.
If the rent goes up," he said, "the
steel worker may hope to get addi-
tional pay to make up the difference
but he can't rent better home"
The agreement with the employe
representatives provided that the new
scale would be adjusted upward or
downward automatically, within speci-
fled limits, with changes in the cost
of living from July Is, as reported by
the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Organized labor as a whole, Lewis
said, for many years had fought SINH
lar proposals.
He declined to state what he
thought would have been q fair"
raise, saying that should be left to
"bona-fide negotiations"
The steel barons are engaging In
some amusing antics" he said. "They
are shadow boxing with their self
created company unions in an attempt
to mislead the steel workers and the
public to believe they are bargaining
collectively with their employees.
They are fooling nobody by their
mental gymnastics, but instead are
making fools Of themselves"
Two Raises In 1888.
The coal industry, he said, had given
two raises in the Summer of 1888 "in
the hope of blocking organization" but
had been forced to give q third when
union contracts were signed that Fall.
Among the companies to post no.
tices of the increase were the

The war in Spain will continue to
be fought with enthusiasm by the
popular front government, despite its
evacuation of Madrid, DR.. de los Rios,
the Spanish Ambassador here, said
this morning on receipt OF a cable
from Valencia, the provisional capital.
The war will continue exactly as
today" he declared during few mo-
ments taken from day crowded with
appointments and interviews. Dur
ing the World War, France moved its
capital to Bordeaux, and many other
countries have found themselves in
similar circumstances during their in
ternal struggles.
What has happened in Spain now
Is an incident in the war which af-
fects neither the legal position of
Spain's only lawful government nor
the future of the war"
Even with the government gone,
Gen. Franco, leader of the insurgents
will have a difficult time in breaking
through the defenses of Madrid in
the opinion of Enrique Carlos de la
Casa, minister plenipotentiary and
counselor of the embassy.
This development means little" De
Ia Casa said. "The government Ia
strong and will fight on"
De la Casa came to Washington In
August to act as Charge d'Affaires
after the resignation of Ambassador
Luis Calderon, who said he was un-
able to continue after the election of
the Leftist Caballero government.
De los Rios, a professor at the
University of Madrid, has been here
only four weeks. At the same time
he arrived came Senor La Higuira.
first secretary, and Senor Mianna,
second secretary. The staff is COM
pleted by Acting Commercial Attache
Del Castillo, Agricultural Attache
Ichachagarai and Chancellor Mateos.
The prospect of having their source
OF money cut of does not worry these
men. According to La Casa, the
coined wealth of Spain is in France
and Washington banks are still honor
ing foreign exchange drafts presented
by the embassy.

PRESIDENT SPEEDS
BUDGET DECISIONS
Will Fix New Figures by Nov.
17-Wants to Reduce
Costs.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Devoting his full attention to gov
ernmental business, President Roose-
welt planned today to have the budget
estimates for the next fiscal year fairly
complete before he leaves on his con-
templated sea journey to Buenos
Aires on November II.
In making this known, the President
has plainly indicated he is anxious to
reduce the cost of running the Gov
ernment. 1t Is understood he has
impressed this on department heads.
For the next week or 10 days, Mr..
Roosevelt will hold daily conferences
with Daniel W. Bell, acting director
of the budget, to work on the budget
estimates and to eliminate expenses
which are not considered actually
necessary.
Besides conferring with Bell today,
the President also received Harry L.
Hopkins, works progress administra-
tor. and Secretary of Agriculture WAL
lace.
In a statement issued at the White
House, it was revealed that the Presi-
dent intends to make as few engage
ments as possible prior to his con-
templated South American cruise, to
give all the time he can to the budget
work and the disposition of accumu-
lated routine business.
Appointments Restricted.
This statement follows:
In order to enable the President
to give all of his attention to pressing
Governmental business prior to his
departure on November II for his
southern cruise, appointments with
the President will be restricted to
those dealing solely with Executive
affairs Of the Government.
"The President regrets the neces-
sity of this curtailment."
This course on the part of Mr..
Roosevelt is easily understood. He
has been flooded with requests from
political leaders, congressional chief
tains and others in all parts of the
country that they be allowed to visit
him personally to congratulate him
on his great victory last Tuesday.
One of the Presidents associates ex-
planned that If MIR. Roosevelt con-
sented to receive even a small number
of those clamoring for appointments,
he wouldn't have an opportunity to
give moment to the Nations business
the next month or so.
Another matter the President will
devote attention to before leaving
deals with Inauguration plans. Mr..
Roosevelt has been reminded that,
masmuch as the inaugural date has
been moved from March 4 to January
20, it will be necessary to start ON
plans without delay.
To Select Inaugural Chairman.
In this connection, it will be neces-
sary for the President, first of all.
to select the chairman of his inaugu-
raj committee. When this was dis
cussed at the White House today, it
could not be said definitely whether
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N,
retired, chairman Of the American
Red Cross, would again serve in this
capacity. 1t is understood that Ad-
miral Grayson, who was chairman in
1888, indicated that because of his
many other duties, he would prefer to
see some one else take over that
Craftsmanship.
Also, Mr.. Roosevelt must soon de-
eide on the scope of the inaugural
celebration he would prefer. There
Is every reason to feel certain, how
ever, that these details will be worked

SAN FRANCISCO. November T.
The Pacific Coasts shipping industry,
paralyzed by a strike of $1,000 union
workers, faced new difficulties today
from a walkout voted by 5000 ship
yard workers here.
Efforts to settle the maritime strike,
well into its second week. appeared at
a stalemate. although Assistant Labor
Secretary Edward F. McGrady re-
mained here to do what he could.
Various oficial and non-ofiicial
bodies watched for developments in
Washington. where Secretary of Labor
Perkins said the Chief Executive had
no present intention of stepping into
the strike picture.
Meanwhile, developments in New
York threaten to delay sailing of the
United States delegates to the Peace
Conference in Buenos Aires.
The West Coast walkout, called
when unions and employers failed to
reach terms on new working agree
ments. reacted in Eastern and Gulf
ports, where sympathetic union action
tied up ships and hampered COM
merce.
Gov. Joseph B. Poindexter of Hawaii
asked aid from McGrady on behalf of
600 travellers marooned in Honolulu
by the strike. Poindexter said the
position Of some was serious because
of dwindling finances.
5000 Workers Affected.
The shipyard strike was announced
last night by A. T. Wynn, secretary
of the Bay District Metal Trades
Council. He estimated 5000 workers
in the bay area plants of the Beth
lehem Shipbuilding Corp. would be af-
fected.
Wynn said the walkout was voted
owing to continued and fragrant vio-
lations of agreements with various
unions"
Some of the more than $50 ships tied
up by the maritime strike have been
put into drydock for overhaul. where
they may be caught by the walkout Of
shipyard workers.
About a dozen other vessels are
strike-bound in Gulf ports.

MAKE DANGER DRAMATIC
(JamestoWn, N. Y. Post)

Safety education in the public schools would do well to roll up it's sleeves and go at the matter in real earnest Whatever part this wise movement has had in reducing accidents among children the streets and highways, it is not enough. Youngsters still pop out suddenly from behind standing automobiles Boys and girls bikes still do snake dance down crowd ed badly lighted streets Children dart into the high ways after their toys and cut streets whenever they happen to think of it. And the casualties mount up with horrible acceleration
 Possibly too much of this safety education has been the form of lectures and charts So far as this is the chief strategy of any school, recommend thing more drastic-the dramatizaton of danger Why not stage within school gymnasums yards the act ual approximation of conditions the streets and the of perilous possibilities Let the children themselves set the stage and think up the possibilities Go far to that in the of school year every child takes part in this mock drama of needless ness on the highroad.
 We learn by doing. Children can learn of safety on the streets by doing the wrong thing under cond
 ons that reproduce all the perils of the street in miniature. We suggest that laying the dramatic emphasis on the wrong thing is better than undramat ic lectures on the right thing to do.
