Organization Plans Drive
To Reflect Old Mem
bers And Also Add New
Ones To Party Ranks
By HERBERT PLUMMER

(By Associated PressI
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Al-
though Democratic control of the
senate is a mathematical certainty
regardless of what happens to
either the presidency or the house
in the November elections, party
leaders have no intention of iy-
nOring senatorial contests in the
coming campaign.
Senator Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania, charged with the respon-
sibility of seeing that Democratic
senators up for reelection this
year are not only returned but
that new ones are added, has per-
fected his organization for a de-
termined drive.
He expects to get under way
Immediately after the party's big
show Is over in Philadelphia in
June. He has his eye on several
Republican seats he would Ike to
see filled by Democrats.
Merely increasing the numer-
ical strength of the Democrats in
the senate doesn't interest Cuff
fey. The party already has more
votes than it needs.
Center Fire On Critics
There are several administra-
ton critics in the senate, how
ever, whose departure in Novem-
Der would please Guffey and
other Democratic leaders.
The Republican national con-
ventiOn may be o. some help.
Both Senators Borah of Idaho
and Dickinson o. Iowa are up for
reelection to the senate this year.
Choice of either one as a presi-
Dental candidate would make
Guffey's job just that much
easier.
Special targets for Guffey's at
tack will be Hastings Of Delaware
and McNary of Oregon. McNary
is Republican leader of the SEN
ate and Hastings is chairman of
the G. o. P. senatorial campaign
committee.
Because the Democrats need
not worry over losing control of
the senate this year they will be
able to concentrate on foes like
BOrah. Dickinson. Hastings and
McNary. There are other Rerub-
leans up for reelection, but these
are the biggest guns.
Democratic Future Safe
The campaign of 1888, how
ever, will be a different story for
the Democrats. Then 27 of them
in the senate must run.
However, of these u Demo-
cratic seats, IL are virtually not
open to successful Republican at
tack. If the Republicans should
gain all the rest. they would still
lack a senate majority.
Nothing but great political up
heavals in the coming campaign,
followed by further upheavals
against the Democrats in 1898,
and again in 1910 will drive the
senate Democrats out before
January 8. 1941.
Not a few political prophets be-
lieve it will be 1913. seven years
hence, before the Democrats can
be shaken loose from their grip on
the senate.

President William Green of

today, and half a dozen union
heads were ready to offer him
membership in their organiza-

United Mine Workers, spearhead

Green has been a member of the
mine workers for years, and
holds a card in the Coshocton,

The tactics Of Lewis, president
Of the mine workers, in calling
on Green to explain" his &C.
tions as mine worker member,
angered leaders here. They an
nounced that he would have no
trouble qualifying as union
member in order to remain eligi-
BILE as an officer of the Fedora

Leaders here said privately
they did not believe Green would
answer the United Mine Workers

SHIP STRIKE
Won't Negotiate With
Representatives, Say

NEW YORK, Nov. IL G.N.S).
New York shipowners will make
no attempt to negotiate with out
law strikers, with a view toward
ending the maritime strike here,
spokesman for the American Ship
owners Association and the Inter
national Seamen's Union, declared
today.
Their statements denied an as
sertion of Joseph Curran, strike
leader, that certain unnamed ship
owners had made overtures to the
strike strategy committee for a
speedy settlement.
R. H. Baker, president of the
Shipowners' Association, said:
II know of no agreement to
enter into negotiations with the
strikers strategy committee. We
have a contract with the Inter
national Seamen's Union and
we will not recognize any other
organization"
Officials Of the International
SeamenS Union, which is oppos-
ing the strike, expressed the belief
that Curran's forces were weaken
ing, and they said this was based
partly on what they interpreted
as his desire to reach immediate
negotiations with shipowners.

Final Effort Today
To End Ship Strike

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IL
GN.SO.-A final effort will be
made today by Assistant Secretary
of Labor Edward F. McGrady to
end the Pacific Coast maritime
strike.
McGrady said he planned to re-
turn East Saturday if his efforts
today fail to bring about negotia-
ton between shippers and repre-
sentatives of the seven striking
West Coast maritime unions whose
$1,000 members walked out two
weeks ago.
May Go to Tampa
McGrady said he had no def
mite plans when he returns East.
He indicated, however, that he
probably will go to Tampa, Fla,
to attend the national convention
Of the American Federation of
Labor, opening November is.
The ace trouble,Shooter of the
Government in labor difficulties
had the assurance today Of three
striking unions that they would
enter peace negotiations.
McGrady planned to confer
again today with Thomas G,
Plant, spokesmen for the coast
committee of sh;powners. and find
out whether the shippers will meet
with the union representatives.
Demands At Issue
The stumbling block of previous
attempts at negotiations has been
the union demand that "funda-
mental rights" be determined by
direct negotiations and not arbi-
tration.
In other words, according to the
shippers viewpoint, the unions
want to put forward their de-
mands only.
Denying this viewpoint, the
union leaders insist they are
merely fighting for the life OF
their unions"
Strikers Firm
At a mass meeting of maritime
strikers last night, Harry Bridges
and Harry Lundeberg, waterfront
leaders on the West Coast, charged
that the shippers were attempting
to break the unions" Bridges
said:
In 1884, the strike was local
iZed. This strike is national.
We have no fear. We know
what the outcome will be-"
Reports persisted in maritime
circles today that President RooSe-
welt may directly intervene to end
the strike which has tied up 178
vessels in Pacific ports and Homo
lulu. More than 900 passengers,
many without funds, are stranded
in Honolulu, unable to obtain
passage to the mainland.
WarehouSemen Eye Plan
Concerning the removal of per-
ishable cargoes from strike-bound
vessels, the joint policy commit
tee of the seven striking maritime
unions served notice on the ship
pers they would give no considera-
tion to the owners request for re-
moval of such cargoes until ship
pers withdraw a Federal court Or
der calling for removal of a $10,-
900 banana cargo from the Pan
ama-Pacific liner California at San
Pedro.
Meanwhile, 1,400 striking ware
housemen in San Francisco and
East Bay cities prepared to vote
on a peace proposal offered by
owners of general, cold storage
and feed warehouses

At the French bridge, where
the Corunna road crosses the
Manzanares a mile from North
Station, the insurgents crashed
into the solid ranks of the new
loyalist foreign LEGION" composed
Of French, Poles, Germans and
Russians who moved down from
Catalonia.
Cannons, tanks, machine guns
and hand grenades turned the
thinly settled area north Of for
mer King Alfonso's pet project,

the strongly entrenched Madrid
foreign legion was still holding.
The insurgen right flank,

More Than 300 Fires
More than 300 fires so far have
been set by bombs and shells, it
was officially stated, but casual
ties cannot be accurately esti-
mated.
Officers of the military junta

warning to the troops mot to
waste ammunition" indicating
that, in spite of foreign supplies.
the quantity of ammunition is
running low.

has appointed a commission for
