SHANGHAI, Nov. l8.-The Nip pon forces made another dent in the Chinese Hindenburg" defense line, according to, the Japanese Army spokesman.
 Japanese troops thrown against the line between Shanghai and Nanking have captured one gate of the walled city of Kashking, the southern keystone of the line, it is claimed
 Both Chinese and Japanese have reported heavy fighting in the area around kashking, which is 60 miles southwest ol Shanghai and 30 miles south of Soochow, the main point of the Chinese defenses. The news of the Japanese push against the southern wing defenses came few hours atter an oifiei&l Chinese governments warning had spurred a mass migration of ciVil- ians from Nanking

China had no alternative but to fight for Shanghai, since it guards the approach to Ranking, capital of General Chiang, whom the Jap anese had determined to elimin- ate from the Chinese government.
 In those three months probably one of the most concentrated battles in history has been fought for the area, criss-c crossed by canals and small creeks, northwest of Shang- hai
 Shanghai itself has probably known greater horrors of war than any other modern city; thousands of civilians killed in air raids, vast areas of the native city wiped out, hundreds of millions of dollars of property destroyed.
 Chinese Forced Back
 Military experts agree that pos sibly 5o0,0O0 troops have been en- gagged along the 25-mile battle zone from Shanghai northwest to the Yangtze river as well as hundreds of warplanes and more than three fourths of the Japanese navy.
 Under the continual pounding of the guns of the Japanese fleet and the deadly raids of her modern warplanes, the Chinese slowly have been forced back, but not without terrible losses to both sides.
 Three times they fought back Japanese efforts to land before suf- ficient Japanese troops got foot hold for the drive inland. Then, doggededly fighting each step Of the way, the Chinese withdrew to their first line of defense after exactly month of almost continuous bat tie.
 Northern Defense Crumbled
 There they held out for six weeks unt'l they retired Oct. 26 to- their long prepared winter line" about five miles to the rear and complete ly out of rang ofe the Japanese fleet.
 Against that line the Japanese have massed the full force of their superior mechanized army for re- peated smashing efforts to cut off the Chinese right flank from pro- ly out of range of the Japanese al Settlement.
 But while the Chinese in the south held the Japanese advance to scant 20 miles, Chinese resis- tance to the north all but col lapsed without the support of the Chinese regulars being used at Shanghai and Japan began con- solidation of her conquest of North Chinas five provinces of Chahar, Hopeh, Shantung, Suiyuan and and Shansi.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. = The November elections prove one thing -deuces will be wild in Americas political poker game next year, ano again in l940.
 And labor will hold the deuces against the old-line Republican anc Democratic parties.
 While local issues cluttered ur the results this year in such cities as New York, Detroit, Pittsburgh Canton and Akron. Ohio, the labor vote played a conspicuous part ir these and other municipal elec- tions.
 Through them all, however, foul important facts stick out to plague the regular political party organ izations.
 1. Labor groups can organize big
 blocs of votes in eastern indus
 trial areas, without the helr
 of any outside forces.
 This most important fact was demonstrated in New York City There the American Labor party en- tered the political ring, for the first time a year ago to vote for Presi- dent Roosevelt and Governor Her bert H. Lehman, the Democratic candidates. The labor party sur prised everybody by polling well over 100000 votes.
 The Vote in Detroit
 This year, the New York labor or ganization gave it's support to Re- publican-Fusion mayor and Re- publican candidate for district at torney, and mustered another sharE surprise. Its vote stood well over 400, ,000-almost double the number

New Trade Pact
 Between !. OndOn
 And Washington
Reciprocal Tariff Adjust ments May Become Real
 ity After Long Work

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.--It was announced today that the United States and England have agreed tc negotiate reciprocal trade pact.
 The decision is fraught with far reaching conomic and political implications.
 It is the first formal step toward an objective long sought by Presi- dent Roosevelt as an indispensable feature of a program for the liber- alization of world commerce.
 The proposed move was made pub lie by Secretary of State Cordell Hull who asserted merely that the United States "contemplates" such negotiations.
 Actual Work Plan
 The actual work on the plan is expected to begin in a few weeks cBmaxing more than a year of ex- ploratory work by representative of both the London and Washington governments.
 It appeared there was good req son to believe the British govern ment had probably consented te consider granting American treat ment equal to that which London now accords goods of the British Dominions.
 Secretary Hull invited interested persons in the United States tc submit suggestions to the State De partment to aid in determining a list of produce to come under the rules of the pact
 Valuable Exports
 Last years trade statistics show leaf tobacco. fruits nuts meats, fats and petroleum products to be the most valuable American export products to the United Kingdom.

SEATTLE, Nov. 18.-The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says editorially today that the Pacific Northwest asks an immediate report from Sec. retary of State Cordell Hull as te the action to be taken or contem- plated on the question of the Jap anese invasion of Alaska fisher. ies."
 The editorial says that thre, separate courses of action looking toward ending such an invasion have been proposed, as follows:
 One-The State Department plar locking toward a settlement of thi' and related questions through dip. lomatic representations.
 Second-Alaska Delegate A. J. Di. monds proposal to extend the Unit. ed States sovereignty beyond tn obsolete three mile limit.
 Direct action of labol calling for picketing of Japanest ships"
 The editorial goes on to point oui Labor has temporarily suspended its plans but in advocating the boy. cotting of Japanese goods implica- tions are tremendous as "Japar buys heavily of our lumber, cottor and other products it might de- velop sources of supply elsewhere,
 The editorial says Delegate Di- mond's plan raises the perplexing question of economics and Interna- tional law, but that the Pacific Northwest looks to Secretary of State Cordell Hull to make prompt and vigorous representations to Ja- pan," meantime reporting on the status of such action.

SEATTLE, Nov. Is. = Thirty five members of the Stewards Department of the Northland Trans ortation Company's steamer North Sea are on a strike.
 The steamer is scheduled to sail at 10 o'clock tomorrow forenoon for Southeast Alas. ka ports.
 The Marine Cooks and Stewards Association served demands that all stewards de- partment work on Alaska ships be rotated among tbe members of the unions.
 Officials of both the North land Transportation Com pany, operating the North Sea and Northland, and AL aska Steamship Company, op- erating a large fleet on the All aska route, denied the de- mands.
 The Alaska, of the Alaska Steamship Company is posted to sail at 9 am. Saturday.
 A conference is slated be- tween union officials and those of the two steamship lines in an effort to avert a tie-up.
 The steamship companies. in refusing to grant the demands, said they wish to retain the men now employed on the vessels instead of changing the crews each trip.
 The officials say the agreement with the union contains clause allowing the companies to employ the men in the Stewards Depart ment permanently, if they are sat- isfied.
 Seven Alaska ships will be hit if the tie-up takes place. the North Sea, Northland, Alaska, Yukon, Dellwood, Bering and Evelyn Berg.

LONDON, Nov. 18 - War risk insurance rates for International Maritime Commerce, one barometer of the tension of war, have been sharply reduced on cargoes going Co the Orient and to the Western Mediterranean.
 The reduction, announced by British marine insurance under writers is believed due 10 three de- yelopments
 The first of these is the transfer of Sno- Japanese hostilities from the Shanghai area; the second, an ap- parent end 10 the Mediterranean piracy scare, and the third, an out growth of the Spanish Civil Wars seeming quiescence that has eased the political situation throughout Europe.

HUNT FOR SLAYER

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 18.-The po- lice today questioned newspaper columnist in the first move to hunt for the slayer of Corcoran, the 45- year-old labor leader shot down near his home last night. Cederic Adam, of the Minneapo- lis Star, is the columnist being questioned, especially regarding an item in his column of November g which said prominent labor lead CT of Minneapolis will be taken for ride within two weeks"
 Adams attributed the information to an unnamed friend but said the item referred to another labor lead CT and not to Corcoran who was found dead, a bullet in his brain and the body discovered lying on sidewalk at the rear of a neigh bors home.
 The sum of $400 in a wallet was not disturbed. The Secretary Treasurer of the Union and also of the joint labor council often car ried large sums of money.
 The police disclosed that Corcoran was recently attacked in union headquarters but they gave out no details concerning the attack.
 Gov. Elmer Benson has offered state reward of $500 for apprehen- sion of Corcoran's slayer.

Three months of "sideshow" war for control of the Shanghai delta has effectively screened Japan's vir- tual conquest of China's five north ern provinces--an area equal to that of France, Germany and Spain combined and with a population only slightly less than the United States.
 By a strategic feint at Shanghai, the Japanese have held the flower of German-trained army to the defense of 800 square miles of rice paddy terrain while they swept over 500,000 square miles of North China, an empire twice the size of Japan
 The war at Shanghai started Aug ust 13-just three months and five days ago. But the real struggle began in North China last July ' when night maneuvering Japanese troops cfashed with Chinese 10 miles west of Peiping.
 Such Incidents Before
 Under the protocol signed after the 1900 Boxer uprising of Chinese against foreigners, Japan, like other world powers, maintained a North China garrison. Troops of that garrison engaged the Chinese guards at Marco Polo bridge at midnight July T. No one knows who fired the first shot.
 Similar incidents had occurred before, ending with Japan gaining new concessions from China This time, however, a China made na- tionalism- conscious by Generals simo Chiang Kai-Shek began nov ing in troops for determined resis- tance
 Those troops, ill-trained and half equipped proyincials that they were. countered the Japanese drive for a month, while the national govern ment prepared to move in it's we'll trained regular army. At that point the pattern of Japanese strategy took on familiar shape and the war shifted suddenly to Shanghai just as in 1932.
 Shanghai Battle Rages
 On August g Chinese killed two Japanese marines outside a Shang- hai airdrome. China said they were spies. Japan asserted it was the latest of long series of unpro- voked attacks and her information al settlement guards began to take defensive measures.
 Chinese troops rolled into the area and on August 12 fighting broke out in the northeastern quar- ter of the International Settlement
