Japanese Get Nasty

Peiping, Aug. 5-(UP)-Japanese affronts became subject for com- plaint by foreigners here today, as they had been at Tientsin after inc cidents in which photographers of the United States and other nations incurred the displeasure of Japa- nese soldiers.
 A Japanese column of 250 trucks, 35 tanks and @ battery of four big field guns paraded through the city on It's way to Tungchow, IS miles east, scene of a revolt by Chinese soldiers and militarized police last Friday.
 Sheridan Fanhestock, of New York, 0 free lance writer and fre- quently @ contributor to the New York Herald Tribune, was hit three times in the jaw by Japanese sol- diers in front of the Pekin hotel because he tried to photograph the parade.
 ! Mrs. Joy Lacks, e photographer for the Associated Press, was pushed by soldiers and the lenses of hei camera were covered. A special United Press corre- spondent, Robert MacGregor, suc- ceeded in reaching Tungchow where the parading Japanese troops were bound. There he found two American teachers, James A. Hunt. CT, of Peoria, H., and Harry 8 Martin, of Boston, at the Jefferson academy. They had stuck through. out the dangerous fighting anc bombing, and they were busy aiding thousands of refugees.

 TO PASS HOUSE
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D to adjournment-now expected around August 21.
 The American Federation of La- bor gave its full backing to the bill as redrafted for house action Amendments to protect collective bargaining agreements brought it in line with federation demands.
 Leaders prepared to give the bill right of way in the house next week. Passage by a good majority was predicted by democratic lead- CTS.
 By accepting the senate bill pro- visions restricting the labor standards board to setting wages not over 40 cents an hour and hours not under 40 a week, the committee, leaders said, claired the way for southern support. In addition, the bill would require the board to take into con- sideration local conditions in setting wage levels-a proposal backed by southerners on the committee.
 Vital Changes Made
 Vital changes made in the senate bill included:
 1. Elimination of the Wheeler Johnson child labor provisions and reinstatement of the original senate bill provision banning oppressive child labor.
 2. Inclusion of retail store em- ployes under scope of the act with the exception of outside salesmen."
 3. Declaration that employment of women or minors on graveyard shifts" (midnight to 6 a .m) is a substandard labor condition.
 4. Strengthening of collective bargaining protection by placing safeguard abobt such agreements including adoption by the board oi the principle that minimum wages should not be set lower than pre- vailing local wages. ..
 5. Revision of the senate tariff provision to provide that the tariff commission investigate cost differ entials on imports and increase du. ties if necessary to equalize ane maintain the labor standards.
 6. Requirement that the boart consider in declaring minimum wage requirements the differences 1T unit costs of manufacturing" oc' casioned by local and natural re' sources" or other factors In pro- duction costs.

BATTLE TOSAVE
 BABY MAY LOSE
Continued from Page D

Three other expectant mothers await removal to the hospitals two delivery rooms. Should their babies be born before Mrs. Boccawsini's, 1t would be necessary to carry her to an emergency room on an upper floor. The time thus wasted might cost the infants life.
 If the mother dies, 1t was eX- plained, the operation must be per- formed within a space of eight min- utes before the blood ceases to flow through her veins. Otherwise the child would die of suffocation.
 Await Moment
 An interne and two nurses await ed the moment of death or labor. A nurse by the stricken woman's side kept close watch in order to sum- mon aid the instant either approch- es. Surgeons said 1t might be 15 minutes or IS hours"

AUTO INDUSTRY
 NOT PEACEFUL
Chrysler and United Auto Workers Meet Today;
 To Discuss Trouble

Detroit, Aug. B. (UP)-Chrysler Corporation officials and represen- tatives of the United Automobile Workers Union meet today in an attempt to fix responsibility for a new labor controversy in the auto mobile industry that has made 2l,- 900 workers idle.
 Chrysler closed its Plymouth fac- tory, employing 11,000, after nine workers had been injured in an inter-union fight inside the plant The shutdown forced the Briggs Manufacturing Company, which em- ploys 10000 workers in making bod les for Chrysler, to close its plant
 Followed By Sit Down
 Chrysler spokesmen said the fight ing had been followed by sitdowr strike in the Plymouth sheet mea department that tied up key opera tionS and necessitated closing the entire plant.
 The company officials charged that the union had broken the agreement that ended a ChrysleI strike early this year. Union repre- sentatives replied that the company had shown "favoritism" toward the Independent association of Chrysler employes-the rival union whose ac- tivities were blamed by the U. A. W for yesterdays conflict.
 Tn @ statement explaining the cause of the shutdown, Chrysler of- ficials said that Frank Dillon, presi- dent of the Independent Union, and Robert Pemberton, an organizer, had been beaten by U. A. w. members. four of the attackers were dis charged, they said.
 Employees Sent Home "Thereupon," the statement added, "the members of the U. A. W. ceas- ed work in a key department of the plant; whereupon the employees were notified to go home.
 After the shut down, fight be- gan inside the plant in which four men were seriously injured. Two of them are now in hospitals.
 Union officials demanded rein statement of the four discharged workers, contending that they had not participated in the fight and also asked company officials to permit election to test the o. I. O.'s strength in the plant.

R. Burke, democrat, Nebraska, and because if MT. Roosevelt attends 1t will give him his second opportunity of the summer to meet with con- gressional democrats in the informal privacy of convivial occasion.
 Burke Will Be There
 Burke was the most vigorously outspoken democratic opponent of MT. Roosevelt's supreme court plans. Barkley, whom he now pro- poses to honor publicly, was known when his candidacy was advanced to favor action on MT. Roosevelt's program and Harrison, supported by Burke and other anti-court bill dem ocrats, was expected to push con- gress toward adjournment regard- less of the court If the leadership came his way.
 MT. Roosevelt met with congress sional democrats last June in a three-day stand at Jefferson Island @ Chesapeake Bay club. The oc- casion was ballyhooed at first as an opportunity for disgruntled demo- crats to discuss their troubles with the president. But conferees re- turning to the mainland reported nc business transacted.
 May Ease Party Tension Observers do not expect much harmony progress from the Bark ley dinner. But Farley's reiterated assurance that there will be no re- prisals may considerably eas party tension.
 Farley calls reprisal talk "piece of moonshine" circulated as repub- lican propaganda. Political observers generally are awaiting campign year developments before attempt ing to guess exactly what is in the political winds.
 Meanwhile, the best evidence on party discord is showing in New York city where Alfred E. Smith and Tammany hall are backing Sen Royal s. Copeland, democrat, New York, for mayor against Jeremiah T. Mahoney, regarded as the choice of party leaders friendly to the new deal. smith bolted MT. Roosevelt and endorsed Gov. Ali M. Landon for president last year. Copeland is rated as an anti-new deal demo- crat.

 Gateway to Peiping
 Nankou traditionally is the gate- way to Peiping from the northwest and Chinese control of this position must be broken before Japanese control of north China can be se- cure. It has been the scene of countless battles since the days of Ghenghis Khan. It was there that the late Marshall Chang Tso-Lir, while dictator of Manchuria, made safe his brief tenure of power in

Major Battle With
 Chinese, Japanese
Ccontinue0 from Page D

Peiping by defeating Marshall Feng Yu-Esiang in the north China civil war of a decade ago. Chang took the position by a cavalry attack from the rear-sending MOngols from his western territory.
 General indications were that the situation was moving slowly to- wards @ major Chinese Japanese war.
 Developments Today
 Developments included:
 In Nanking the newly formed sue preme war council, headed by Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai-Sek, central government chieftain, debated the details of general strategy and the allotments of men to be furnished by the provincial leaders. Chiang was represented as still loath to risk major hostilities as long as there is the slightest chance of a peaceful solution. In this view he is supported by Marshal Yen Hsishan, the veteran pacification commissioner for Shansi and Sui- yuan provinces, and opposed by Gen. Pai Chung-rIsi of Kwangsi province, and Liu Hsiang, of Szechuan.
 The Japanese Domei News Agency understood the council had evolved a plan to mobilize China's economic system on wartime basis under which the government would con- trol banks and trading exchanges and fix the price of bonds, and com- modities. Speculation would be pro- hibited.
 Japan's Desires
 Tn Tokyo Foreign Minister Koki Hirota told parliament that Japan still desires a peaceful solution of the crisis but still demands that China accept her dominance in the north and cooperate with the irn- perial government in busting com munism from Asia.
 This, Japanese here admitted, Nanking cannot do.
 The upper house of the Japanese parliament-the house of peers was expected to pass Premier Fu- mimaro Konoye's emergency budget for the north China expedition to- morrow.
 The exodus of Japanese from China's interior cities continued and scores of small Japanese business establishments were closed.
 Chinese, too, continued to flee from Nanking and the coastal cities, fearing Japanese bombing opera tions.
 More than 50,ooo Chinese refugees over-ran Shanghais foreign-con- trolled areas-the international set- clement and the French concession. The Chapel area, the native city, which was destroyed by the Japa- nese in the Shanghai war of 1892, was virtually deserted and many in- dustrial establishments there were forced to close.
 At Hankow, up the Yangtse river, the U. s. consul general advised American residents of exposed areas to flee to the coast.

 The state figures show that in ag36 . total of $4,215,0l1 was col lected and that in the month just past the total was only $3,294,35l. It was explained, however, that there ere two excellent reasons for the de- cline.
