DETROIT, March 2.-Only one
issue national minimum hourly
wage-stood today between negotia-
tions for General Motors Corp. and
the United Automobile Workers Of
America and completion of their con-
ference.
They hoped to finish their task by
night. Tomorrow the union enters
its second conference with a large
automobile producer, the Chrysler
Corp.
The Detroit automotive concerns
whose plants are occupied by sit-down
strikers held show-cause orders
against the workers described in their
complaints as former employees"
Discrimination Issue Settled.
The General Motors parley sue
ceeded yesterday in reducing to writ
ing agreements on all points except
the unions wage demand. The last
to reach settlement was an undiscloSed
method of handling cases of alleged
discrimination against union en-
ployes.
c. E. Wilson, General Motors vice
president, said the written terms still
were subject to final revision.
Earlier the conferees composed diff
ferences which closed the Fisher body
and Chevrolet plants at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, and announced they would re-
open today.
1t was revealed that the final agree
ment between the corporation and the
U. A. w. A. would not be written as
q legally-enforceable contract, but
would depend upon good faith by both
parties.
Judge Allan Campbell issued the
court orders against the sit-down
strikers late yesterday on petitions
by the Ferro Stamping Manufacturing
Co. and the Timken- Detroit Axle Co.,
suppliers of the motor-car industry.
Fifty-eight Are Cited.
The circuit Judge directed the SO
persons who have occupied the Ferro
plant since February 18 to show cause
tomorrow why an injunction restrain
ing them from interfering with opera
tions of the plant and from picketing
should not be issued.
Three persons were injured in a
disturbance at the factory last Satur-
day. The management said it had
received no demands from the strikers,
but said they were seeking 20-cents-
an-hour increase in present rates of
SIS cents for men and As cents for
women. The company employees 800
persons.
The court also directed 400 sit
down strikers who have held the Tim
ken-Detroit plant since Februry %
to show cause Thursday why an in
junction ordering evacuation of the
premises should not be granted. The
company's complaint said large ma
jority Of the l,7o0 employees were
eager to continue their work" and
accused the strikers Of being guilty Of
trespass.
A union ofiicial said today that a
Nationwide sit-down might be called
in the 1000 5-and-l0- stores OF
the F. w. Woolworth Co. unless the
strikes in two of its Detroit branches
are settled by Saturday.

Panama Canal Tolls Rate
Revision Is Proposed

A BOLTON of the dual system
"A of measurement of vessels pass
ing through the Panama canal was
asked by the President in special
message to congress, in accord with
a report of an advisory committee.
Nothing definite was said about rails
ing the revenue of the canal.
The War department recently as
sailed the present dual system of
collecting tolls as permitting in
equalities, manipulations, and end
less reductions in charges, resulting
in losses to the United States and
unfair advantages to shipping in
terests. At present the canal, a 546k
million dollar investment, is losing
almost a million dollars a year.
Manufacturers and other shippers
of the Middle West have long main
tanned that the Panama canal toll
charges are so low that the effect is
to substitute shippers Of the East and
West because it is cheaper to ship by
water from either coast than by rail
from the Middle West. The middle
westerners have urged that the
rates be raised to give them equal
footing with seaboard competitors
and also to give promise of amortiz-
ing the canal investment.

The report concludes that per-
manent adjustment agency should
prove useful as central co-ordinat-
ing body, or board of strategy, for
an occupational group composed OF
small and loosely organized operat-
ing units such as In agriculture. 1t
recommends the continuance OF the
federal agency In order to assist
farmers in adjusting their industry
to changing technical and CONNER
cial conditions and to cushion the
shock of disasters such as drouth
and flood.
AS for crop insurance, the belief
is expressed that system OF all
risk insurance under government
sponsorship would prove financially
sound and beneficial to farmers II
premiums and indemnities could be
kept on a true actuarial basis. 1t
insists, however, that crop insur-
ance should not be mixed up with
the ever normal granary proposal.

court justice who would retire at
this particular time, by virtue of
the bait that was held out to him,
would not be the sort of Individual
for whom l would have the greatest
respect"
The retirement bill was favored
by the President but, as Senator
Pat McCarren said, was not part
of Mr.. Roosevelt's bill for enlarge
ment of the court. The controversy
over the latter measure grew more
bitter day by day and to the sur
prise of the administration, it was
found that it was likely to be de-
feated in the house. Therefore the
majority leaders decided to let the
senate act first. In that body the
decision rested with some twenty
five senators who had not yet an
nounced their position.
Mr.. Roosevelt stood firm in his
determination to force the bill
through congress, and announced
he would deliver radio speech in
its defense on March 9, the day
before the one set for the start
of senate judiciary committee hear
ings on the bill. The President de-
MED report that he would make
a tour of the country in behalf of
his plan.
Senator George of Georgia, Dem
ocrat, stepped into the fight with
an assertion that the Supreme court
enlargement proposal is repudia-
ton of the party's 1896 platform
pledge that it would seek a clarity
ing constitutional amendment if it
could not attain it's social-economic
welfare program by legislation.
In defense of the measure various
members of the cabinet and heads
of federal agencies began a speak
ing campaign.

President Asks State
Soil Conservation Laws

TN IDENTICAL letters to the gov
errors of the 48 states Presi-
dent Roosevelt called on the state
legislatures to enact soil conserva-
ton laws which would supplement
the federal measures designed to
lessen the ravages of floods and dust
storms.
Along with his letter the President
sent the governors copy of a
model soil conservation bill pre-
pared by the Department Of Agricul-
ture. This provides for the organiza-
ton of soil conservation districts to
carry on erosion control projects
with federal aid and regulations for
use of land.
According to the plan the sug-
gested state laws would have no
bearing on federal soil conservation
benefits, but enactment of state
laws would be necessary before a
state could receive any federal con-
servation funds.

Start of Bonneville Power
Sale Asked by Roosevelt

n PEN warfare by the govern
~ ment on private power inter-
ests will be started soon if the rec
concentrations of President Roose-
welt to congressional leaders are
acted upon favorably. In letters
to Vice President Garner and
Speaker Bankhead, the President
urged that prompt action be taken
to provide for the sale of electric
power from the $51 100000 Bonnie
vile project on the Columbia river
in Oregon; and he intimated this
might be taken as the forerunner Of
a national power policy. The rec
concentrations were in accord with
a report from the committee on ma
tional power policy and also with
the position Mr.. Roosevelt took in
the controversy with DR.. Arthur E.
Morgan, IVA chairman, who IA
vored cooperation with existing
power companies and consideration
for their investment.

Vidal Quits as Head of
Air Commerce Bureau

EUGENE VIDAL has resigned as
IL director of the federal air COM
merce bureau and says he will re-
enter private aviation. His conduct
of the bureau has been subjected
to much criticism at times and a
committee headed by Senator Cope
land of New York has recon-
mended the reorganization of the
bureau. Recently the bureau and
representatives of the air transport
industry have differed sharply over
causes of the series of major air
crashes.
Vidal's successor is Prof. Fred D.
Fagg of Northwestern university law
school. He became associated with
aviation during the war when he
served as second lieutenant with
the ninety-second aero squadron in
France. After the war he returned
to the United States and specialized
in air law. His assistant in the bu-
reau will be Maj. R. w. Schroeder,
also of Chicago.

News of the Strikes,
Sit-Down and Otherwise

TT AVING virtually countenanced
i L the sit-down strike in the case
Of the General Motors controversy,
the administration found itself en-
barrassed by that favorite ma
neuver of John Lewis Committee
for Industrial Organization.
Out in Monica, Calf, about 200
employees of the Douglas Air
craft corporation went on strike and
"sat down" in the big plant, COM
pletely stopping work on $24, 100000
worth of airplanes the company is
building for the government.
Finally the strikers were indicted
for conspiring to violate two old
California laws against forcible en-
try and trespassing, and when 300
armed deputies appeared at the
plant, they surrendered and were
taken to Los Angeles for arraign-
ment.
Another big government job was
halted for a time by a sit-down
strike of employees of the Electric
Boat company at Groton, Conn.,,
which is building submarines for
the navy. There, however, the local
and state police soon evicted the
trespassers and arrested them, and
the rest of the employees, a large
majority, resumed work.
Shutdown strikers in the plant Of
the Fansteel Metallurgical corpora
ton at North Chicago, ILL.,, who de-
fed court eviction orders, were
routed by a force Of deputies and
police armed with tear gas guns, and
were arrested for contempt of court.
Also taken into custody was the
strike leader, Max Adelman, who
had fled to Wisconsin. The strikers
and their friends insisted they would
prevent the reopening of the plant
by strong picket lines and the cor
poration obtained an injunction
against such procedure. The sheriff
said he was prepared to deal with
any act of violence. This is another
c. I. o. strike, and Governor Horner
of Illinois gained no glory in his
efforts to settle it.
Among the many strikes in the
OGLTOlt UiSLIICL Was OIf6 VI 4OO GILL
ployees, mostly girls, of the largest
Woolworth store in Detroit. They
planned to extend the strike to all
other units of the company there,
meanwhile keeping the big store
closed by the sit-down method.
Japan had two strikes that at a
distance seemed amusing. A large
number of geisha girls struck for
collective bargaining and "sat-
down" in a temple on top of noun
tain. Then the merchant marine Off
GERS employed by the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha, largest Japanese
shipping company, struck because,
when the emperor was reviewing
the fleet last October, the COM
pany did not order the raising Of
the national flag on all its vessels.
This, said the officers, was an in
suit to the emperor and the ma
ton, and they demanded an
apology.

According to informed sources,
the foreign secretary then went on
to declare that before Great Britain
even could consider returning the
reich's colonies or yielding League
of Nations mandates over former
German overseas possessions, h e
security of Europe must be estab-
lished by a general accord.
Eden said the question of raw
materials for Germany was one in
which all the great powers who
had control of principal raw ma
terials were interested. In this con-
nection, he said that while III e
league should settle the colonial
matter, he could envisage an al
tentative method of approach
through diplomatic channels.
