British Labor Law Is to Be Studied by FDR Commission;
 Seueral Surprises Promised
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 21.-When the Presidents special labor com missioners roll up their sleevs in London this summer, and plunge into the British labor law of 1927 they will discover, first off, what a lot of law it takes to keep a sem blance of peace in the British in- dustrial family.
 For the British have been head over heels in more or less modern labor legislation and customs for nearly 150 years. The 1927 law, while extremely important, is merely one statute among dozens.
 This stack of laws does not mean that the British have carved out an industrial Utopia, where em- ployers and employees lie down like the lion and lamb of Biblical fame. Only last year, on the eve of the Coronation, Londons bus work CTS went out on strike, and there was the devi to pay before they climbed behhNl their steering wheels again.
 But the big pile of British labor laws does mean that the British have accumulated a vast store of valuable experience worth any body's time and study

Relations Reported as Bad as at Any Time Since
 World Conflict

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Rela- tions between Germany and the United States are as bad as at any time since the World War and this is causing concern in both nations. Public speeches, mutual recrimina- tions and series of sharp diploma tic notes indicate the tenseness of the situation

 Three of the communications dealt with Austrias debts and the other with treatment of American Jews.

Great Britain Whipping Up New Drive to Get
 Fight Over
VALENCIA BATTLE
 RAGING AS EVER
Germans Continue Purge of Jews Through Hit
 ler's Own Paper
(By Associated Press)

Hopes are rising today for the ending of one of the worlds wars, or at least a lessening of its perils to the rest of the world, although carnage continues in both Spain and China.
 In London, Great Britain has ob- tained an agreement from delegates of Europe's major powers to the British plan to employ these same delegates in an effort to get foreign troops withdrawn from the Spanish battle-ground.
 British leaders hoped this agree ment might lead to truce in the now 23 months old Civil War.
 Pressure Is Brought
 Great Britain brought pressure to bear on France and Italy to enlist the aid of those two opposing na- tions in search of truce, but while the big powers bargained another day, the battle before Valencia brought no decision.
 The bitter see-saw war in the hllls north of that Government port con- tinued to rage first in favor of the Loyalists and then again in favor of the Insurgents.
 Valencia Bombed
 Insurgent air squadrons agair bombed Valencia yesterday, ano other Mediterranean cities, wreak- ing an unestimated toll of already staggering damage.
 The German press broke its bound silence in a loud cry for a thorough cleansing of Berlin from a flood of Jews"
 A Jew population of 140000 in Berlin, is beside itself with a great CT terror. Hitler's own newspaper sought to justify the campaign ot Jewish purge as an "act of self de- fense by the people against the Jews who are swamping Berlin, especially from Austria"

BIG FIGHT TO DRAW BANNER
 CROWD IN NY,
Sch m cling Comes from Training Camp Ex-
 pertsHave Opinions
BULLETIN = NEW YORK, June 21.-Fight odds are one to two against Louis to win and seven to ten against Schmeling to win.

NEW YORK, June 21. Max Schmeling, bronzed and ready after five weeks of hard training in the mountains, came to town today for the crucial fight of his long career in tomorrow nights 15-round tussle with Joe Louis, champion, in the Yankee Stadium.
 His entry today was by far a different one from that of two years ago when the German came here for his first bout with the wonder negro. Experts on that oc- casion thought they heard tumblers rolling through the streets and odds were to 1 and up that Schmeling was goner.
 Max Confident
 The time Schmeling comes as a proud confident conquerer and cer- tain he will be hailed as the first man to regain the title He knock ed the negro out in the 18th round in the first meeting and means to do it again before an expected throng of at least 75,000 with a $900,000 house.
 Again the weight of expert opin- ion is against the 32year-old Ger man but only in slight degree by comparison to the 1886 fight. Today forty percent of the experts like the Germans chances.
 The fight has stirred more inter est among the fight fans than they have displayed in years.
 Amazing Upset
 The bait that is turing the GUS toners to lay their cash on the line is the problem of whether Schmel- ing can repeat the amazing feat that stunned the boxing world which had acclaimed the Bomber as invincible. With odds quoted as high as 10 to against him, Schmeling refused to be frightened by the vaunted might of Louis and battered the bewildered color e d youngster to the floor.
 Since then, Joe has won the world title by kayoing Jim Brad dock and kept busy over the two year stretch, until at the age oi twenty-four he is training to wipe out the one blot on his record with determination he has never dis played before.
 Joe Smarter Now
 Braddock, a master boxer, has expressed the opinion that Joe will get his revenge and blast Schmel- ing out of the picture within sever rounds. Jim sums up the opinion of a large group which holds tha' Louis has grown ringwise since the last bout with Schmeling.
 Joe, they insist, will no longer be a sucker for Schmeling's crush

TT GOES BACK TO l799

The British were wrangling over collective bargaining in George Washington's time
 Sentiment was so strong against group negotiation, that parliament passed in 1799 a law to bar collec- tive bargaining. That was the year George Washington died. Strikes, destroyed property, and general confusion led to repeal within a few years, and thereafter coIlec- tive bargaining was generally ac- cepted.
 So in Great Britain now, no po- litical party regards a guarantee of collective bargaining as an essen- tial labor law. Many authorities agree it is practiced in about 90 per cent of British industry.
 The question of hours and wages came up over there a long time ago.
 While we were fighting 9 Civil war, parliament was about to con- slider eight-hour laws Some British industries at that time also were bargaining over reduced hours of work. Our first national eight-hour law reached the statute books in 1916, and it applied only to rail- road workers.
 Furthermore, our legislators have spent the last IA months fighting back and forth over the question of whether we should pass national law regulating wages and hours of such industries as Congress may regulate.

WASHINGTON-Notes on states manship:
 One of our more excitable con- temporaries wrote recently that the tension was so great in the War and Navy departments these days that people could not walk about the corridors without being stopped at every turn by guards detailed to protect military secrets from seiz- ure by spies.
 That took up bit by surprise and we went immediately to try it out. Nothing happened. We tried it again later, with a companion, to learn if change of days would bring change of atmosphere. It didn't.
