Labor Farley
Sidelights

A labor writer who has fol
lowed the fight between the
G. /. o. and the American
Federation of Labor for many
months said today that if he
were making a book on the
outcome he would bet 5 to 4
there will be no peace.
Phil Murray, who heads
the C. 1. o. group, has deep
brown eyes, emOtiOnaIly ex-
presSive. He Is tall, straight,
graying now and a bit bald,
with an infectious smile and
an uence in debate
matched by few men in the
labor movement. He was .
coal miner before he became
a key man in the United
Mine Workers, rising rapidly
to the top, where he is second
only to John L. Lewis, who
trusts him like a brother.
Chairman George Harrison,
of the federation group, is
younger, hardly more than 40,
judging from his appearance,
and came up in the labor
move m mt through tn e
Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks. He is clean-cut and
aggressive and, in a dark-blue
suit, looks more like a cor.
pOratiOn lawyer than a labor
leader.
"Mat" WolI, a member OF
the federation delegation,
perenniaIIy youthful in ap-
pearance, is another of labOr'S
most fOrceful speakers. Both
sides chose for the conference
men who can hold their own
anywhere, in debate or other
wise. In a rOugh-and-tumble,
however, the federation group
would be Outmached in num-
bers, if not in individual
weights.
In the rooms adjoining the
Willard Hotel suite, where the
conference Is in progress, are
tables, telephones, chairs, a
typewriter or two, and numer-
GUS newspaper men. The lat
ter sit or stand in the corridor
outside Room 3O1, as well as
in the press rooms. FuD-
licity men for both sides, on
good terms personally, run
in and out of the conference
room, but say nothing Of what
they hear, if anything.

BLACK FAILS
TOPART| |C|PATE
IN DECISION
75-Year Sentence
Is Held Valid

G.N.S.J With Justice Hugo L..
Black not participating, the Su-
preme Court today denied the pc
tition of Haywood Patterson, un-
der a 75-year prison sentence as
one of group of Negroes charged
with attacking two white girls in
Alabama, for a writ of review.
The high court, in effect, held
that the latest trials in Alabama
in the noted "Scottsboro cases"
did not infringe upon the Federal
Constitution. Twice before the
high court ordered new trials.
The high courts announcement
read:
"The petition for writ Of GER
tiorari in this case is denied. Mr..
Justice Black took no part in
the consideration and decision
Of this application.
The attitude of Justice Black
had been closely watched by court
observers because of his admitted
one-time membership in the Ku
KluX Klan.
Denial of Patterson's plea-with
Justice Black participating-was
regarded as possibly opening the
door for another challenge to the
new Justices eligibility.

BigBusiness'
AtHydePark
By GEORGE DURNO

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. 25
Q.N.SO-Troubled leaders of big
business, watching the stock mar
ket decline and pessimistic esti-
mates of this years Federal
budget, descended on President
Roosevelt'S Hyde Park home to-
day to suggest that the executive
get around a table with them and
discuss basic economic problems.
Averill Hartman, New York
banker who is current chairman
of the business advisory counsel
set up by Secretary of Commerce
Roper, headed a group Of four
to the Roosevelt home to urge
that the President dine and con-
fer with them "some time next
month"
There have been persistent re-
ports that Mr.. Roosevelt would
either make a statement or go
on the air with a suggestion that
industry and labor get together
on common ground again.
Accompanying Harrima n to
Krum Elbow were Ralph Elan
ders, of Springfield, Morris Leeds,
of Philadelphia. and Clarence
Francis, Of New York city.

Would Make Vote
On War Necessary

A constitutional amendment
calling for a national referendum
before America could go to war
was advocated last night at the
Columbia Heights Christian
Church by Clinton N. Howard, gen.
eral superintendent of the Inter
national Reform Federation.
"This does not mean," Mr..
Howard said, that America
shall not join with other nations
by every method short of a re-
sort to military force to stop the
international banditry now being
imposed upon pacifist China by
militarized mercenary and mer'
ciless Japan"

Advising George Abel, local
newspaperman, and Mrs. Drew
Pearson, Abell's former wife, TO
forget their bitterness toward
each other if they are sincerely
interested in their five-year-old
son. Tyler, Justice Daniel w.
O'Donoghue in United States Dis
trict Court today, refused Ahell's
application for temporary custody
and for temporary injunction to
restrain Mrs. Pearson from taking
the child out of the District. and
administered a scathing rebuke to
both parents.
OBTAINED RENO DIVORCE
Mrs. Pearson, the former Luvvie
Moore, obtained a Reno divorce
from Abel several years ago and
under the terms of the Reno de.
cree. Abel had part-time custody
of the child. Neither party was
to remove the child from the
United States and occasional visits
were to be permitted the divorced
couple.
Anell's application for temper
ary injunction and temporary
custody, filed a week ago. was
argued before Justice O'Donoghue
today. When the arguments were
concluded, Justice O'Donoghue
said:
"The question of care and
custody Of this child is not be-
fore this court today, but if it
we're, this court would judge
that these two parents are both
unfit to have the child.
nL-WILL SCORED
Their minds are poisoned
with selfishness to such an ex-
tent that they are using the
child to satisfy their il-will and
hatred of one another"
The judge declared that he
would not intefere with the present
arrangement, but would leave the
situation to be Strengthened ouS
when the application for perma-
nent injunction and custody is
heard.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 25.-The view
that a Japanese airman acted
deliberately when he machine
gunned and killed British
soldier. and fired purposely on
Americans and other foreigners
enjoying a Sunday outing on the
outskirts of the international set
tlement, gained ground today in
all circles of Shanghai.
AS the British listened for the
third time to Japanese apologies
for assaults, eye-witnesses unani-
mously declared the new attacks
must have been intentional.

to terrorize Britain.
In this strategy, it was believed,
Japan has three alt--4.ative mo-
tives:
One may be to provoke war
with Great Britain before she
has a chance to complete the
Singapore naval base and build
up her new battleship fleet,
which Japan believes is aimed
against Nippon.
