TOWN IN STRIKE.
One Shot, 80 Injured in
Picket Line Riot

wEsTwooD, Cal, July IA
U.N.S0.-The San Francisco CIO
council protested to Governor Mer-
riam today as nearly 900 men
with rifles patrolled this small
northern California town to pre-
vent more than 500 CIO strikers
from returning here.

ber community while groups
smashed a picket line and searched
homes to oust the strikers.
MINORITY RULE CHARGED
After being driven out of town
by $500 men, including workers
opposing a CIO strike against the
Red River lumber mill, the strike
committee said it would flight to
see that Westwood is reestablished
as United States territory"
A spokesman for the antistrike
forces said they were combating
an attempt by a "CIO minority"
to rule the mill, largest of its
type in the West and the only
industry of the town founded by
the company. The mill closed
Monday, rendering 1900 men job
less, after 900 members Of the
CIO International Woodworkers of
America struck against a 1712 per
cent wage cut.
VIGILANTES ACCUSED
CIO Organizer Joe Ring called
the situation "a seizure of power
by vigilanteS." He charged:
"Vigilantes 60 staggering UP
and down the streets armed
with guns and engage in what
ever violence they please. The
lumber company controls the
town and all the officials"
Denying the charges, spokesmen
for the town asserted tine per-
sons patrolling the streets were
citizens deputized to preserve law
and order.

REFUGEE PARLEY.
REWORDS DRAFT.
TO SUIT REICH.
Resolution Will Be Up
For Vote Tomorrow

EVAN. LES BAINs, July IA
G.N.S).-Chiefly to avoid offend
ing Germany, minor changes were
made today in the 32.nation draft
agreement for a permanent Lon.
don commissio non refugees.
Heads of delegations met secret
ly and completed the final draft
resolution, which will be voted on
tomorrow.
PRESSURE BY REICH
A secret plenary session adopted
a subcommittee's report covering
various countries immigration
immigration laws.
The Reich, it was said, brought
pressure at the current conference
here on her small neighbors and
some Latin-American countries, to
tone down the demand that coun-
tries forcing minorities to emigrate
should allow them to take their
possessions.
PRINCIPLE RETAINED
In the American view, however,
alterations in the draft are more
a matter of wording than principle.
The permanent commission plan
has now been accepted by all the
represented nations here, and the
conference will adjourn tomorrow
until August 3, when a second ses-
sion will be held in London.

mother and daughter, separa-
ted by the blight of insanity,
today were united in death.
Victims of the "mercy death"
pact in the State Hospital for
Claire DOwIing, %, inmate of
the institution, and her mother,
Mrs. Nina Bowling.
BOTH TAKE POISON
The tragedy took place in the
visitors rest room of the hos
pital, and despite heroic efforts
to save their lives, both women
died shortly after taking a
draught of poison.
Piecing together facts that led
up to the double tragedy, Off
cials of the hospital learned
that the mind of the beautiful
young woman was weakened
some time ago and she was COM
mitted to the institution.
HeartbrOken, the mother came
to visit her daughter as often
as she was able, always hoping
that doctors could work a
miracle and restore her daugh-
ter'S mind. But she was told
this could not be done.
HEARS DEATH SENTENCE
Then the mother suffered an
other blOw-dOctOrs told her
that she had not long to live.
Death did not frighten the
elderly woman, but she hated
to leave her daughter alone in
the asylum.
1t was then that she de-
termined on the course of action
that ended both their lives.
She visited her daughter for the
last time. In her purse she
carried a bottle Of poison.

NEGRO EDUCATOR
 SOUNDS WARNING

Wellesley, Mass, July 14.-(UP)- The press and contemporary politi- cal literature indicate that the great race problem in America is to keep the Anglo-Saxon stream free from Negro or European or Semitic blood" Dr. Ira De A. Reid, Negro head of Atlanta university's sociology department, said today.
 Race prejudice, he told the Well lesley college summer institute for social progress, lis one of the pow CTS shaping the world Germany is now governed by men whose main policies involve certain hard and fast race beliefs. Italy found 1t useful to whip up animosity against the black-skinned men to justify an imperialistic war"
 Describing forms of racial preju- dice in the modern world, Dr. Reid said:
 From the press and contempor- ary political literature we may rea- sonably conclude the following: That whites are superior to blacks, that the Asiatic peril is race peril, that the Japanese of late have be- come very yellow-so much so that the Chinese have almost become white brothers in comparison--and that the great American problem Is to keep the Anglo-Saxon stream free from the condemnation of negro or European or Semitic blood"

GOOD OUTLOOK.
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Market Conditions Improve ing in About All Depart
 ments at Present

Boston, July 14-(UP)--Market conditions in the New England area continued to improve this week in all branches of the textile trade Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said in it's review today.
 In the shoe and leather industry further good progress also was re- ported.
 Primer prices were the rule in most divisions of both industries.
 Commodity prices f1rmed generally and the business outlook showed marked improvement over the last three weeks.
 Buying showed a remarkable in- crease in the last 10 days of June in the Boston wool market and this activity has beenu well maintained into July. Prices have been marked up rapidly and quotations at coun- try points also are up several cents pound.
 Demand for Clothing
 An increased demand for clothing has reduced stocks of finished goods in mill hands, improving their out look. May had already seen a 28 per cent increase in raw wool con- sumption over April and New Eng land spindle activity was increased about Ia last month. Further gains are now being recorded.
 Massachusetts cotton mills in- creased operations in May 30 to 40 per cent above December, 1897, and during June here was still further expansion. Fall River particularly experiencing rapid recovery. Gray goods displayed activity. Finished goods trading was brisk Heavy cot- ton goods have begun to move more rapidly.
 Some More Active
 Raw cotton, Worsteds and Woolen yarns were more active. New Eng land mills bought raw cotton more freely but buyers were inclined to resist price increases in the other lines.
 Sharp increases were reported in hide and skin prices and there was a gradual stiffening of leather prices with all grades of leather selling in larger quantities.
 New England shoe production ad- vanced and producers have raised their asking prices. Massachusetts, with May production of 6,309,000 pairs, continued to lead production.
 Lumber Advances
 With hardwood prices up several dollars per thousand, building lum- Der quotations have been advanced Cement prices, too, were up. Build- ing was slow, but there were indi- cations of an increased call for new homes. Pig iron prices were marked up, although demand was slow.
 Department store sales rose 9 per cent but collectoins were below last year and installment payments have begun to lag somewhat. Averaging only fair, wholesale account pay ments were somewhat improved.

 SEEK DIVORCE

New York, July 14.-CUP) The Daily Mirror in a copyrighted story today said that Mrs. Margo Bathelt would seek an annulment of her marriage to John Bathelt, who pleaded guilty in the cement coffin murder case at Northampton, Mass.
 Mrs. Bathelt, according to the mirror, said that she felt the fact her husbands crime took place six days before their marriage was cause for annulment.
 I'm going away for rest" she was quoted as saying. I'm terribly shocked by what has happened. I want to go into seclusion for a while. I don't understan how my husband could have committed such a terrible crime" the Mirror continued, but I understand even less what happened in court yes terday. I think there is something fishy about it."

 May Be England
 London, July IA - (U.PD - Lord Aberdare, British member of the International Olympics Congress, said today that if Japan gave up the 1940 Olympics, they might be held in Finland or England.
 Lord Aberdare, who opposed the selection of Tokyo for the 1940 games at the March meeting of the I. O. c. in Cairo, indicated that the olympics could be held at the Sched- uled time despite the short notice of cancellation.
 If Tokyo has decided to give up the games then Finland will be ap- proached,' he said. If this falls through there Is a possibility of London being chosen"
 Before attending the Cairo meet ing Lord Aberdare said that the Chinese Japanese war made the po- sition of the I. o. c. difficult
 The fact that Japan herself is wondering whether she will be able to hold the games makes the I. O. C's position difficult" he said. "Just the same, 1t is Japan's privilege to keep the games if she wants them"
 Nothing To Say
 Wellesley, Mass, July IA - (U.P) William J. Binham, Harvard ath- letic director who resigned from the Olympic committe last month in protest against the even being held in Tokyo, had nothing to say" to- day on the announcement that Japan has virtually abandoned the 1940 games.
