Lewis Forces S h ow
No Disposition to
Back Down
BY EDWARD b. LOCKETT
International News Service

Official silence and quiet sur.
face today covered preliminary
moves of organized labor leaders
to prevent the open strife that
would attend trial" of twelve
rebel" unions scheduled by the
American Federation of Labor for
August 3.
The rebellious unions, compris-
ing the committee for industrial
organization headed by John L.
Lewis of the United Mine Workers,
meanwhile, showed no disposition
to abandon their defiant drive to
organize the steel industry along
mass. or industrial lines. Incom-
ing reports at headquarters of the
CLIO. advised that organization
work was proceeding apace.
Despite this activity, A. F.. of L.
leaders Assistant Secretary Of
Labor Edward F. McGrady and
some of the CLIO. chieftains
quietly moved ahead with con-
ferences seeking a way out of
the vexing internal strife that
would not drag the friction in
organized labor again out in the
open.
CLIO. chieftains did not ap-
pear to be satisfied at all with
the charges" of dual unionism
and insurrection laid against them
by the A. F. of l.. executive coun-
Gil in its recent session-but
seemed hopeful that some way
could be found that would post
pone the inevitable fight until
the A. F. of L. annual conven-
ton in November at Tampa, Fla.
There, they insisted, and there
only. should the bitter war be-
tween craft and Industrial
unionism be fought out.

EUROPEAN
NEAR, SAYS
CUDAHY
Ambassador Will Tour
u. S. to Tell How to
Keep Country Out

John c. Cudahy, World War
hero, linguist, big-game hunter
and one-time master of the worlds
largest cattle ranch, now United
States Ambassador to Poland back
in the United States on leave of
absence, will make a speaking tour
early this fall to warn the Ameri-
can people of the apparent inevita-
bility of another European war
and to suggest plan whereby this
country may escape entering that
war.
Mr.. Cudahy will fill his first
speaking engagements in Massa-
chusetts and in Illinois, he says
in a statement issued from his
country estate near Milwaukee,
Wis, as follows:
ut is my opinion that a war
in Europe, probably within the
next three years, is inevitable.
The significant question facing
the people of America is what
course should be followed to
avoid being involved. Converse
lions l have had with European
statesmen, and a careful study
of the situation in Europe, con-
vince me that this war is newt
able.
ut will mean the crash of
European civilization and at
attendant dire consequences to
America, economically and So
cially, even if we do manage to
stay alOOf.
Events of the past year show
we haven't advanced since the
days of AttiIa the Hun. The
mailed fist still rules in Europe
despite the advances of science
and marked social progress.
NatiOnaliSm is more and more
pronounced. The armament race
has developed into a grim Strug-
gle in the face of monetary def
cts and an intOlerable burden
of taxation"
Mr.. Cudahy said that if war
comes belligerents no doubt will
confiscate American shipments
thereby arousing American indig
nation and patriotism.
Relative to the League of Ma
tionS, Ambassador Cudahy said:
THE League was not liqui-
dated, because European powers
want and need some medium for
conversations. AS a deterrent to
armed conflict, the League is in
effectual."

Minneapolis hospitals, taxed be-

ing that any nurses, or men
capable of serving as orderlles,

Corn for July delivery closed at
80 cents. The December option
closed at 813s cents, the highest
quotation for that delivery during
July since 1880. Wheat, oats and
rye closed from 70 cents to 2 cents
higher. September wheat closed
at $1.057s.
Despite a Department of Agri-
culture report estimating prospec-
tive food supplies are only about l
per cent lower than for 1934-35,
and about 3 per cent less than
last year, retail prices for food
stuffs were generally higher in the
Chicago markets. The price of
fresh fruits and vegetables is
higher. Spinach, for example, has
practically doubled in price since
last weekend. Milk went up a
cent a quart yesterday. Butter
is up.
Meat prices are generally lower,
due to the heavy shipments of
drought animals from the stricken
States.

Mexico City faced a shortage of
water today and the city's food
supply was threatened by a scare
ity of ice as a nearly nationwide
strike wave grew rapidly.
The crisis assumed grave pro-
portions overnight and President
Lazaro M. Cardenas rushed back
to his capital from the northwest

situation.
One of his first tasks was to act
on an appeal made by all hospitals
in the capital that they be excepted
from the effects of Gripping

related key industries.
