Labor Says Industry Is
Arming for Conflict

QEFOaE the senate subcommittee
- on labor appeared spokesman
for organized labor with charges
that there is great movement of
machine guns, tear gas and police
clubs into industrial centers for use
In contending with strikes and at
tendant disorders. The first wit
ness to tell the story of the arming
Of industrial plants for conflicts
with labor was ]. p. Harris, steel
worker from Portsmouth. Ohio. In
support of his assertions came a
mass of data compiled by the SEN
ate munitions investigating commit
tee and presented at the hearing by
Heber BlankenhOrn, an employee of
the national labor relations board.
At one point Harris testified that
he knew the Wheeling Steel corpor-
alton at Portsmouth was "arming,"
a Statemen: that brought from cor
poratiOn officials at Portsmouth an
assertion that company police were
armed to protect property against
thieves and firebugs. and they will
continue to be armed"
AT another point in the hearing
there was testimony that general
"rumors" were being circulated that
the Ford Motor company was "shot
through with spies, hired to report
on the activities of labor.

had sustained great loss.
Mr.. Beck was not only one of
the foremost lawyers of America
but for more than three decades
was public man of distinction,
holding numerous offices at Wash
ington, and an influential place in
the counsels of the Republican
party. Born in Philadelphia in 1861.
he first held office as United States
attorney for the eastern district Of
Pennsylvania, as a Democrat. He
left that party on the silver issue
and was made an assistant attor-
ney general by President Mckinley.
In 1927 Mr.. Harding appointed him
solicitor general. an office which he
filled with distinction. He then
served three terms in congress,
where he was one of the best de-
baters, and retired in 1884 because
he thought congress had become
rubber stamp" Since then he had
been prominent in the legal attacks
on various phases Of the New Deal.

Summarily Ousted with Gales,

bers stayed away, scornfully assert
ing their presence was useless be-
cause the preparation of the meas
ure was utterly partisan. Repre-
sentative A. 2. Lamneck of Ohio,
Democrat, was insistent on his plan
to raise $50O,OOO,OO0 by a fiat 20 to
% per cent tax on corporation in
come. To produce S263, 100000 more
and bring his plan nearly up to the
money requirement outlined by Pres
ident Roosevelt, Lamneck would re-
peal the present exemption of cor
poratiOn dividends from the normal
income tax rate. On that, he was
in agreement with the committee
program.
Harry L. Hopkins, head Of the
WPA, appeared before a subcom-
mittee of the house appropriations
committee, also in executive session,
to urge compliance with President
Roosevelt's request for an addi-
tional billion and a half to finance
relief in the 1887 fiscal year. Vari-
Gus committee members at once de-
manded that Mr.. Hopkins tell what
had been done with the $4,SOO,OOO,-
600 granted last year. He was said
to have promised to do his best to
satisfy them, but Chairman J. P.
Buchanan warned the minority
members that this is not to be
made into an investigation"
The committee extracted from
Mr.. Hopkins reluctant promise
that relief funds will not be spent
hereafter on projects not approved
by congress, these including espe-
cially the Florida ship canal and

Tangle of Diplomatic
Rivalries in Europe

NTUSSOLINI'S African adventure
4V1 and Hitler's Rhineland doings
and future intentions, tangled to-
gether, have created a situation
that seemed to imperil the formal
friendship between Great Britain
and France. The British were in
sisting that Italy be curbed, that
her use of poison gas in Ethiopia
be taken up by the League of Ma
tions and that peace negotiations
between Italy and Ethiopia be
opened quickly to forestall any at
tempt by Premier Mussolini to sign
settlement which might rise from
ruins of Halle Selassies Ethiopian
empire. Foreign Secretary Eden in
dicated the British were determined
to make peace progress before we
leave Geneva" Britain reserving it's
decision as to what to do next if
this conciliation effort failed.
The conciliation committee of the
league was making little or no prog
ress, and in Rome Mussolini told
his cabinet that Ethiopias armies
should and would be totally ami
hilated." His own forces, mean
while, were moving rapidly toward
Dessye and Adds Ababa.
France was reverting to her for
mer policy of letting Italy go ahead
with its African conquest, devoting
her attention mainly to Germany
and central Europe. The British
continued to treat all that in a con-
ciliatory way, which disgusted the
French.

charm Of good furniture of any
