the conference itself struggled TO

There was considerable SpccUla-
ton in conference circles that the
course taken in Brussels by Nor
man II. Davis, Americas rowing
ambassador" might be used to
sound out American public opin-
ion at home on the possibility OF
letting down the restrictions Of
L. s. isolation 20 permit close col
alteration with other pcace-.Ov-
ing powers.
Whether or not this speculation
was correct Il grew steadily m
conference circles which recalled
that President Roosevelt, in his
recent Chicago speech. suggested
n Quarantine" Of aggrcSSor ma
tionS and indicated t&at the Uni

other governments IN maintaining

have a "momentous effect" on the
L. S. foreign policy.
The three demOCraCjCS, working
in close concert, ovcrpOwcred Fas-
cist Italy yesterday when, despite
loud Italian objections, they won
approval of an American plan to
establish a special committee 10
mediate between China and Japan
and seek an armiSticc IN the orr

The line Of conflict between the

The full conference rcConvCncd
at 1880 a. m. today, however, TO
draft a note to Tokyo asking the
Japanese for constructive state

China and advising them of the
proceedings thus far.
The 10 nations of the confer

Rome tomorrow.
The German embassy said he
would officiate at Italy's signing

Minnesota Man
Is National Corn
Husking Champ
Over 100000 Spectators
at AgricuIture's "World
Series" Event

WEBER FARM, MARSHALL,
Mo-, Nov. 5. (UP)-Minnesota's
Ray Hanson. who farms 400 acres
in Cottonwood county, picked and
shucked 1897 pounds of corn in
so minutes yesterday to win agrl-
cultures world Serics--the nation
al corn husking championship.
It was one Of the lowest marks
ever made in the tournament,
which this year drew more than
100000 spectators. Hanson, 30,
one of the oldest contestants in
the field of 20 that picked in n
rain-swept cornfield on the big
Weber farm. drew heavy penalties
because of the wet shucks clinging
to the ears he banged into his
wagon in the contest.
Cecil Vining, 30, of Baldwin, in
Douglas county, Kas., was second.
Hanson, a big raw-boned farm
er from Bingham Lake, MIMI,
took off his glasses to out-shuck
the field of champions and run
ners up from 10 states. He was
only a runner up in his own state,
and he had a rainstorm to beat.
His total-which reduced to 81
bushels and q pounds-was far
from the record for the event but
was considered excellent going be-
cause of the weather conditions.
Hanson, who won 800, finished
249 pounds more than Vining.
William Rose, Illinois state
champion, and tournament favor
ite, ran far behind although he
tossed the greatest number of
ears into his wagon. He lost be-
cause there were too many husks
on them.

call any major strikes for the

wood, New York regional director
for the C. I. o. revealed today.
The abandonment Of the policy

their unions, Haywood declared.
Citing the automobile workers
as an example, Haywood said
"they have the biggest portion of
their industry organized so now
they can afford to stabilize their
union"
Pointing out that the &c. I. O.'s

TRUCK DRIVERS WPA MARCHERS
WATCH COURT CLAIM VICTORY,
FOR DECISION LEAVE CAPITAL
White House, Hopkins
Promise Hell

Assured by their leaders that
their invasion Of the National Capt.
tai had ended in victory, the army
of 1850 joblesS Works Progress
Administration marchers decided
to abandon their camp in West
Potomac Park and start home to-
day.
Their principal solace for the
week Of sun.burning, followed by
a drenching, was word from the
White House and from WPA Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins that
no further arbitrary lay-offs would
be made on the work relief pro-
gram.
Committees representing the
marcherS also reported two other
slight concessions following con-
ferences with Hopkins. One was
a promise to halt discrimination
dismissals and the other assurance
that an attempt will be made to
work out with the jobless leaders
a more satisfactory method Of
handling complaints.
The proclaimed principal OBJ
jectives of the march, which
brought the jobless here from all
parts of the country, were to pro-
mote passage Of the Schwellen-
bach.Allen resolution guarantee
ing work for all workers not alb
sorbed by private industry and to
obtain reinstatement Of some
450,0 discharged WPA workers.
A majority of the marchers al
ready have abandoned their
camp in West Potomac Park, 1t
was stated at the headquarters
of the Workers Alliance of Amer
lea, under whose auspices the
march was made. Those remain.
ing, it was said, are scheduled to
hold special conferences with
Hopkins and his aides and will
then depart,

Interstate Operators
TangIe With A. F. |.

DETROIT, Aug. IS UN.S0.
The nations long distance truck
drivers kept one eye on the road
today and another eye on q Cleve-
land Federal courtroom as the
American Federation Of Labor
and a group Of Michigan truck
operators fought for control Of
the interstate truck industry.
Charging their trucks were be-
ing stopped on roads in many
States, the Interstate Syste m
Equipment owners Association Of
Detroit filed at$300,00 damage
and Injunction suit in the Cleve-
land court against IA local unions
affiliated with the International
Brotherhood Of Transfers, an A.
F. Of L. organization.
OWNER-DRIvERS
Kit F. Clardy, counsel for the
trucking group, explained 1t was
an organization of 1853 individual
truck owners who lease their
tractors and trailers to the Inter
state Motor Freight System, Inc.
Motor Freight, in turn, hires
the owners as drivers, and most OF
the ner-driverS are union men,
Clardy said. Nevertheless, he
charged, trucks of the firm were
being stopped on the outskirts Of
several cities and delayed until
they were turned over to drivers
belonging to one Of the IA local
unions named as defendants.
Other trucks, it was said, were
being "marooned" at loading docks
because union Stevedores refused
to handle their cargoes.
Clardy said no dispute over
wages, hours, or unionization Of
truck drivers was in progress. He
asserted the controversy conferred
over demands Of the A. F. Of L.
unions for the right to make con-
tracts and leases for the truck
owner.drivers and with the motor
freight system.
VIOLATES TRUST LAWS
This attorney charged stopping
Of the trucks and delay Of ship
mentS was in violation of the Sher'
man antitrust act and also in
volved property rights" Of the
owner-driverS.
Ultimately, Clardy said, the en-
tire interstate trucking industry
may be affected.
