as "our friend" Bedaux said that the former king had an extraordi. nary understanding of conditions in the United States and thus had helped chart the tour.
 The complete itinerary will not be available until Saturday, Bedaux said. The entire tour will be made by train.
 Industries in View
 The 16 basic industries which BedauX said the duke wants to ob- serve are: Heavy machines, light machinery, heavy chemical work, oil refining, textiles, tobacco, steel, rub Der, either coal or metallic ore min- ing, automobile manufacturing, pre-. pared foods, meat packing, logging, timber sorting plus lumber milling, pulp and paper production, and vegetable and fruit packing.
 Bedaux stressed the fact that the duke was interested in the laborers' living quarters as well as their working conditions. He said exc,ir- sions to inspect private industry would be balanced with trips to gov. ernment public works projects.
 At least two social events are on the royal party's program. The duke and duchess will have lunch- con at the White House with Presi. dent Roosevelt and will be enter. tained at dinner by the British am- bassador and Lady Lindsay in the embassy.
 Radio Broadcast
 A radio broadcast from Washing. ton also has been scheduled for the duke over all major networks Nov. l2-the day after his arrival in New York.

 He said that he had not voted in either of the past two presidential elections, principally because his work had taken him out of the country. but had the greatest ad- miration for President Roosevelts attempts to satisfy social needs.
 Bedaux Denies Charges
 Bedaux insisted that his system for getting a determined nun. Der of Bedaux units of human en. crgy from each workman was not 6 stretch-out system and said that William H. Hill of Oxford university has said the scheme was not phy. siologically bad for workers.
 He said that the American Fed eration of Labor's criticism of the Bedaux system two years ago as "a method of forcing the last ounce Of efIor. out of workers at the smallest possible cost in wages" was possi. ply based on insuflc .l investiga. ton.
 Bedaux said that his system was installed in e thousand factories employing more than 1000, 900 work. CT but tha. the duke would visit . surprisingly small" number of these establishments.

Duke, Duchess Visit Denounced By Labor
Baltimore Home of Wally Warfeld, Takes Initiative; Charles Bedeaux, Planning Trip,
 No Friend of Labor

Washington, Nov. 4.-(UP)-The Duke of Windsor's 37-day tour of the United States to study the work. ing and living conditions of the American laborer was denounced by @ unit of organized labor today as "a stunning trip protesting to study labor"
 Shortly after 1t was announced here that the duke himself had help plan the trip, the Baltimore federation of the American Fedora. ton of Labor unanimously adopted resolution disappearing the visit.
 Although the resolution was aimed directly at the visit of the former British king and his Baltimore born bride, 1t also was Q denunciation of Charles Bedaux, an efficiency engi- neer and founder of the "Bedaux System," the dukes ofiicial repre- sentative.
 It assailed Bedaux as an anti labor sympathizer and sponsor of the Speed-up and stretch-ou sys- ems. Joseph McCurdy, who intro- duced the resolution at the federa- tons weekly meeting. charged that Bedaux "schemed and connived to build Up a massive fortune at the expense of labor"
 Visit With Hitler
 Referring to the duchess past residence in Baltimore, the resolu- ton said that at that time the for- mer Wallis Warfield Simpson show ed no concern for the problems of labor or the poor and needy. It also criticized the WindSorS' visit with Hitler, whom McCurdy describ- ed as "the worlds most notorious foe of democracy"
 The resolution then said:
 That the Baltimore Federation of Labor warn all Baltimore trade unionlsts of the potential threat to free labor, and to free democratic government itself, Of stunning par ties protesting to help and to study labor, and of all those who either as emissaries of Relationships or as uninformed sentimentalistS support ing Q Stretch.out system, (Whether 1t be the old Taylor system or the more modern Bedaux anti-iabor stretch out)."
 The delegates at the meeting then moved that 1t be printed in the fed- erationiSt, organized labor paper. for distribution in all union shops in Baltimore.
 Passed After Bedaux Plans
 The resolution was passed only a few hours after Bedaux had spent 6 day here conferring with state de- partment officials, representatives at the British embassy and others in- terested in the dukes trip.
 Bedaux, a dapper industrial engi- neer who got his inspiration for the Bedsux system while working on the construction of c New York subway. revealed that the duke had helped plan the trip which will cover the United States honestly bat not complete" He said the du:e wants to learn-learn everything about housing and labor"

By the Associated Press.

NANKING, October 15-United
States Ambassador Nelson johnson
today forwarded to the State Depart
ment at Washington copy Of the pro-
test of the American community Of
Szechwan Province against japanese
aggression in China
The protest urged the United States
to use every peaceful means to with
draw moral and material support from
Japan. 1t declared American scrap
iron becomes japanese bombs which
kill civilians. American cotton makes
Japanese explosives, American trucks
transport japanese troops and Ameri-
can oil drives Japanese planes and
tanks
Let no specious neutrality repeat
our World War profiteering," the pro-
test said.
Broadcasting to the United States
today, Wang Chung-hui, the Chinese
foreign minister, appealed to the
American people not to resort TO any
action that would help Japan. which
he declared was trying to rob China
Of the right to exist.
Peace in the Far East is now shat
tered" he said, because Japan is
bent on destroying China's freedom as
the first step toward her domihation
Of Asia and mastery Of the Pacific
China happens TO be the first line
OF defense, and We are determined TO
hold out at all costs. Embarked on an
adventure of military conquest, Japan
has not only torn up laws and treaties
but is carrying out practices con-
demned by human conscience.
THE Japanese Army is now using
poison gas at Shanghai, where she has
failed to break the Chinese resistance.
This has been confirmed by DR.. H. F.
Ettinger, chief surgeon of the Nam
king Red Cross Hospital, and DR.. B.
Borcic, a representative of the League
of Nations, who personally examined
numerous such cases.

but said no military or naval damage
was done.
One Chinese plane was seen to pass
