an early discussion which Britain
hopes will lead to a new general
European peace agreement sup
planting the now defunct Locarno
security pact.
The foreign office also sum
moned a meeting of the Spanish
nonintervention subcommittee for
Monday evening to hasten estab-
liShment of an arms control COM
mission to keep foreign arma-
ments out of Spain.
Britain hopes that the commits.
sion will prove as effective as a
virtual blockade of Spanish ports,
thereby eliminating the necessity
for blockade by the belligerents,
with its attendant danger of in
ternational naval incidents.
Meanwhile, Britain is expected
to recognize the insurgents as
belligerents. This means that Gen.
eral Franco would be permitted to
stop and search British vessels
within the Spanish three-mile
zone, provided a blockade were
declared and proved actually effec.
tive and not mere paper
blockade"
Feud Centers on France
The FaScist-C Communist feud to
day became centered in France
with General Franco taking legaI
steps against the Bank of France
toward recovery of nearly $500,
100000 in gold shipped out OF
Spain by the leftist loyalistS.
In this step he has the reported
backing of Germany and Italy
Since much of the money has
already gone to Russia for "safe
keeping" the dangerous position
now is that Fascist Spain, Italy
and Germany are demanding re
dress from Leftist France and
Communist Russia.

BOYCOTT OF LABEL HIT

tionS committee, now completing
a report on dozens of proposals
dealing with the Federation c. I.
o. split, agreed that the commit
tee will recommend against final
expulsion of the rebel groups.
However, in a noisy, informal
gathering they voted that this
was not enough and decided to
wage a vigorous fight for rein
statement of Lewis unions.
Perhaps the most important
action taken by the federation
thus far in connection with the
C. I. o. battle lay in it's adoption
of a resolution boycotting the
union label of Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, one of the
suspended insurgent unions.
This union is headed by Sidney
Hillman, who with Lewis and
United Mine Workers Vice Presi-
dent Phillip Murray. formed the
Committee for Industrial organ
ization.
Max zaritsky, head of the Hat
terS' Union and himself a C. I. o.
associate, protested the action,
but the heavy old-guard fedora
ton majority overrode him, in
sisting that the action was not
in repriSal for Hillman's C. I. o.
activities, and the resolution was
adopted.

the Maryland delegation indicated
it is planning such an amendment.
The amendment, as proposed by
the Marylanders, would permit
Maryland and 81 other States to
share in the benefits of the unem-
ployment compensation taxing
clause of the Federal Social Sc
curity Act, even though they have
not enacted their own State COM
pensation programs, as stipulated
in the Federal act.
Would Aid All States
Their proposal would permit
Maryland and the other States to
collect the taxes levied against all
employers of eight or more persons
that became effective last Janu-
ary /.
Under the Federal act, only Is
States and the District of Colum-
bia call of which have local COM
penSation legislation approved by
the Social Security BoarO can re-
tain these unemployment inSur-
ance taxes. Those taxes collected
from other States were to be
pooled in a Federal fund for opera.
ton of the insurance plan in those
States with local programs.
Senators Millard Tydings and
George l.. Radcliffe of Maryland,
in joint statement issued last
night, gave the first hint of the
plan, which, it is likely. will gain
the support of the delegations
from other States that have been
slow in enacting State job-inSur-
ance programs. Their statement,
in part, read:
"To have the Maryland legis-
ture convene in special session
before January l to enact the
necessary State social security
law as will entitle Maryland to
receive its full share of the
National Social Security fund
will entail an extra expense of
some $4,000 to the State.
mot to have the legislature
convene and pass State social
security law might mean that
the funds collected for social
security payment would not be
returned to Maryland in the
same proportion to which they
were returned to other States
which have suitable laws"
If no such amendment can be
made, Maryland and the other
States will lose any claim to the
taxes collected for 1886.

Spikes "CanGrd"

But to get back to that so-called
boarding house." 1 remember
two or three seasons when Wallis
was in Nine. LIE Fevre's school,
that two of her cousins from the
South lived with Mrs. Warfield
and went to school with Wallis.
Whether they paid board, I do
not know. Probably they did since
Mrs. Warfield's relatives knew she
had little money. If they did 1
cannot see that that matters or
alters facts in the least.
The whole thing is just too silly.

Mrs. Buchanan Montague Mer'

"An act of rash impOtency."
This was the scornful reply to
day of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor after its
decision to boycott the union labe
of amalgamated. A Statemen
from the clothing unions head
quarters said:
"Tf the delegates to the A. F.
of L. convention had carried out
their boycott threat on the spot,
most of them would have left
the hall stark naked.
Perhaps the warm Florida
climate would permit such an
immOdest act, but surely the
delegates do not expect 60 mill
ion American males to do like
WISE"
Pointing out that the clothing
industry is the fifteenth largest
employer of labor in the nation
and crediting the clothing union
with playing an important part
in recovery of the industry, the
statement said:
"If the resolution had the
power it pretends to have it
would condemn 10000 Anal
gamated workers to joblessness,
and their $500 employers to the
hands of receivers. The Ameri-
can public will not be misguided
by this essentially meaningless
resolution.
"MOre than $500 employers
with a total annual payroll in
excess of $4,000, 900 have signed

Minority in A. F. of L.
Fights for "RebeIs"
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 81 G.N.SO.
A militant minority within the
American Federation of Labor
formally organized itself here to-
day to fight against heavy odds
for reinstatement of the 10 sus-
pended unions of John L. Lewis
Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation.
An initial meeting was held
which brought together about 100
representatives of State and local
trade bodies. several international
union delegates and some State
Labor Federation representatives.
Out of this there was created a
committee of seven to hold Ses-
sions over the weekend to draft
plans for unified opposition to
the A. F. of L. majority move
ment to continue suspension of
the Lewis faction indefinitely.

INSPIRATION
TO DAVID
Monarch Has New
Confidence in Self,
Says Britisher
BY DAVID p. SENTNER
Copyright 1895 by International
News Service)

LONDON, Nov 21-The great
steadying and inSpirational influ-
ence which Mrs. Wallis Warfield
Simpson Yields over King Edward
was disclosed to this correspond
ent today by a British lady who
enjoys close friendship with both
the monarch and the former Bal
timore matron.
Mrs. Simpson, the informant
declared, has made an inspired
man out of the King and given
him new lease on life, as we'll
as renewed confidence in his own
ability to do great things for his
people.
Englishwomen, in general, she
said, are Fundamentally grateful
to Mrs. Simpson, feeling she has
done what no English subject
could have done.
Distressed Over Poor
Before the present close friend.
ship developed the lady declared,
King Edward was high-strung and
nervous, and clearly distressed by
what he considered his helpless
ness in bettering conditions of the
English people.
He wants to be a beneficient
king. He always has suffered keen
personal distress over the plight
of the poor.
Mrs. Simpson, it was said, has
steadied him and encouraged him.
She has imbued him with conf.
dence he can help his people by
drawing public attention to their
plight and to the fact something
should be done for them.
King Edwards interest in social
problems is now manifest He re-
Gently enthralled a group of friends
with two-hour dissertation on
the British housing problem.
Democratic Friendship
The aristocratic lady who
vouchsafed this information stated
that King Edward worships Mrs.
Simpson and there is no question
of the attachment being mere
infatuation. Mrs. Simpsons atti-
tude toward King Edward is
mature almost motherly. She is
happy she has been able to aid
him, considers him great ideallSt
and is prepared to make any
sacrifice in his behalf.
An example of the Democratic
camaraderie existing between the
King and Mrs. Simpson was dis
closed in a story told by neigh
Dor of the American woman in
Cumberland Terrace.
Provides FirewOOd
King Edward arrived at the
house recently, driving her car
alone, and wearing a blue shirt
open at the neck, grey flannel
slackS and a checked sports coat.
Mrs. Simpson appeared at the
doorway of her home. She said:
"I'm so glad you've come,
David. There isn't a spot Of
wood in the house"
WhereupOn the necessary ar"
rangements were made to start
cracking a huge log fire without
which no British living room in
autumn or winter would be COM
plete.
1t was learned Mrs. Simpson has
leased the Cumberland Terrace
house only until the latter part
of May, after King Edwards cor
onation. She is now guarded like
a queen, with three uniformed po-
licemen and a plainclotheSman
guarding the house.

Having discovered that sea travel
is good for asthma, Lord Beaver
brook, publisher of the London
Daily Express. sailed for home
early today on the liner Bremen,
on which he had arrived here only
16 hours earlier from England:
In coming to the United States
Lord Beaverbrook had originally
planned a trip to Arizona, beliey-
ing it would improve his health.
but he felt so much better upon
his arrival here that he decided
to return Immediately. He said
that he might again come back to
the United States on the Bremen

Lived Beautifully

Wallis was brought up in an at.
mosphere which values all the de
tails of nice living. When Mrs
Warfield gave a party for Wallis
we children did not get the "best
china" as our elders did. We got
the Second BEST" But that "Sec-
ond best" was worthy of a mu.
scum. It was finer than most
wealthy homes have today.
In Baltimore society in those
days nobody talked about money.
We knew some of our friends had
more, some less. But those who
had great wealth did not live any
more beautifully than the War
fields. Everybody lived with dig.

ton, their friends.
I knew the Warfields were not
wealthy. That did not matter
They were of the best in Balti
more society. Mrs. Warfield, left
a widow long before Wallis was
Of school age, had only a small
income.
I get furious when I hear peo
pie refer to the lovely Bessie Mon
tague Warfield as a boarding
house keeper"
It seems incredible that people
will deliberately be so cruel. i
it were true, Mrs. Warfield, were
she alive, would be the first tc
say so. She had nothing of which
to be ashamed.
But it is not true.
The old Southern home was
perfection in every detail. Mrs
Warfield Schooled her daughter
just as did every other fashion
able Mary woman, to be a gracious
hostess.
Simplicity and sincerity were
the keynoteS of our lives. That
training has stood Wallis in good
stead. It has made her a favorite
in Continental society. It has
brought her the homage of a
King-Emperor.

But the old house had charac-

were fine silver, big old tea services
and elaborate candlesticks, and

Mrs. Warfield was charming

Whether it was family dinner
or SO people fol supper, there was
fine old china, beautiful linens and

prided herself on her cook and

Excellent Rider

All of us youngsters rode lot,
but there was never a fence too
high for Wallis to take.
Even as a girl she had a flair
for clothes. Her frocks were SIM
pie, but they had distinct style,
a schoolgirl style which suited her
to perfection.
When Wallis took a prize at
school, everybody said:
"Of course! Wallis can do
anything"
She played a fine game of ten
mis-. She was one of the first girls
in Baltimore to take up golf. I
read that now she frequently
spends hours on the links with
King Edward VIII.
In those days we young people
never thought of bridge. We were
too busy hiking, riding about the
countryside. I'm afraid we were
quite tomboyS. But we had mar
velous times. It was a perfect
childhood.
We had standing joke among
us about Wallis. We could all ride
all day, bounding over the coun-
trySide, cook our lunch over an
open fire but when teatime came,
Wallis could aways manage to
look fresh and neat. The rest Of
us had straggly hair and red
noses.
That ability to look well-groomed
under all circumstances is an
art. Wallis came by it naturally.
Yet she never missed any of our
good times. She loved to laugh,
loved good time.

had a charm which everybody
felt.
Wallis was a couple of classes
ahead of me in school. I used
to stand enthralled when she went
