Before the meeting Abbott, field
representative of Mrs. Bessie A.

The proposition, almost the same
as one passed recently by the city
of Los Angeles, would permit a
strike only after 81 per cent OF
more workers in a store or factory
voted for it. In addition, strict regu-
lation would be placed upon picket
ing. Sitdown strikes and property
seizures would be banned as well
as boycotts aimed at employers
with whom the workers have no
direct quarrel.
Far from Gripping the union
cause, the proposition would actual

LONDON, Sept. 27. (UP)
AS the diplomatic situa-
tion stood today Europe was
some SO hours from a general war
involving between 350,000,000 and
0000,0O0
Statesmen still clung to hope that
last minute development would
save peace, but the outlook darken-
ed every hour.
II war comes, neutral military ex-
pertS with whom talked today be-
lieve that it might last three or four
years
1t probably would be the most
frightful war in history. 1t would
be fought, in its initial stage, large
ly by airplanes with rich, ancient
cities the targets and men, women
and children, without distinction,
the victims.
AT this moment about 100000
men are ready to march.
Backing them up are about TO-
600 900 trained reserves.
1t was estimated that between
10000 and 10000 airplanes would
be in the field a short time after
the outbreak.
AS things stood now it appeared
that Germany and Italy on one
side, with about 118,0OO,OOO people,
and Czechoslovakia, France, Rus
Sla and Great Britain on the other
with about 100000 would be in
volyed within a few weeks.
1t was the opinion of military
men that in the early phases of
such a war France would remain
behind her Maginot line fortifica-
tions while Great Britain blockad-
ed Germany in the Atlantic ocean
and the Baltic sea.
Britain and France would be ex-
pected to await action by Premier
Benito MuSsolini. If he Joined Hit
Ter, France would be expected to
try to smash the Italian army with
the object of knocking it out of
the war, opening the way across
northern Italy to attack Germany
through its back door, the southern
Austrian frontier.
Inc British navy presumably
would aid the French navy to block.
ade Italy, at the straits of Gibral-
tar and the Suez Canal.
Warfare on the western front
would be largely confined to the
air, the experts forecast.
