Filling War Chest

THE REPUBLICANS are pre-
L pairing financially for q
hotter congressional campaign
than they ever were able to af-
ford before.
In about 10 days, Chairman
Joe Martin of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Com
mittee will file a report with
the Clerk Of the House showing
he has a bankroll of $175,00O
ready. BY the time the cam
paign starts, he expects to have
three times that much.
There is a prospect they will
be able to raise $500,000. Aver
age campaign costs about $780,
600.
MOTE: Incidentally, none Of
~ this money is to go into the
New England or other sections
where Republican victories are
automatic, or where Democratic
victories are Self-evident.

Chancellor HitIer'S prOpa-

With RUNC|MAN
seen AS FUTILE

PRAGUE, Sept. 5 G.N.S).
While all eyes were turned anx-
iously on the Nazi congress at
Nuremberg, President Edouard
Benes and ViScount Runciman,
British mediator, arranged an
other meeting today in their ef-
forts to settle the Sudeten German
controversy.
PROGRESS DOUBTED
The atmosphere was distinctly
unfavorable for any progress.
Sudetens indicated at. mass meet
ings yesterday that Reichsfuehrer
Hitler had given Konrad Henlein,
Sudeten leader, no authority to
make any concessions at their
recent BerchteSgaden conference.
This information, it was believed,
was conveyed to Lord Runciman
by Frank Ashton-Gwatkin, his
aide, who talked with Henlein at
Asch Sunday.
mo COMPROMISE"
At the Sudeten mass meetings
the illegal Horst-WeSSel song was
heard, and Hitler was referred to
as "our Fuehrer." In the presence
of Henlein at ASch, George
Woellner, Sudeten member of the
Czech parliament, went so far as
to demand that "all Czechs who
come to the Sudeten districts
after March, 1918. must return
to their home districts"
In our fight" said Woellner,
"there can be no compromise.
The Sudeten demands for au-
tonomy are only the beginning.
We are not alone in this fight.

u. S. AND Britain
SOON TO AGREE
ON TRADE PACT
Wheat Surplus Only
Remaining Issue

O.NSO The flve-monthS-long
"horse trading" for an Anglo
American reciprocal trade treaty
was approaching an end today.
Virtually every major point OF
controversy in the trade arrange
ment has been agreed upon by the
negotiators of the United States
and the United Kingdom.
The single remaining point on
which a rapprochment is still
lacking, however, is the thorny
question of reconciling the oppoS-
ing views of America and Canada
on disposal in foreign markets OF
their enormous wheat surpluseS.
WHEAT BIG QUESTION
It was said in authoritative quar-
ters that once this question Is out
of the way the signatures can be
placed on the formal treaty.
Just when this date will be
reached, however, remains a moot
question. There is possibility the
treaty may be drawn up swiftly,
leaving the wheat question an
open matter to be settled and In
serted in the treaty later.
It is felt that both the United
States and the United Kingdom
would not wish to see the etire
trade negotiations wrecked on the
shoals of a single item such as
wheat, important as this is to all
three countries. =,
Both the United States and
Canada look to the United King
dom as a principal absorptlVe
market for the wheat surplus, be-
ing shut out of such markets as
Germany and Italy.
SUBSIDIES PROVIDED
To aid disposal of the American
surplus and combat lower price
competition in the foreign market,
the Wallace subsidy program has
been put into effect, providing a
subsidy of from 4 to 7 cents a
bushel for wheat. Canada, like
wise, receives duty free treatment
in the United Kingdom and in
addition the British government
pays the farmer a subsidy.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
sought Vainly to obtain a working
agreement with Canada with mu-
tual disposal of the crop Surpluses
without the two countries com
peting against each other.
The United States also iSinSiSt-
ing on obtaining the same treat
ment for its wheat as Canadian
wheat enjoys If the trade treaty
is concluded.

LAND SEIZURES.
Cardenas Spurns Two
American Demands
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

Q.N.SD. Diplomatic relations
between the United States and
Mexico were nearer rupture today
than at any time in the past Is
years. Mexicos bold and defiant
rejection OF American demands
that it's citizens be recompensed
for lands seized from them was
the cause.
The United States, it was un-
derstood, will refuse unequivocally
to accept Mexico'S position on its
asserted right to confiScate Amer
ican-owned properties without
provision being made for prompt
payment.
PENALTIES PROBABLE
The United States probably will
find it necessary to resort to heavy
economic penalties against the
Cardenas government unless fur
ther diplomatic demarche evokes
0 change in position considered
satisfactory to Washington.
In its note to the United States
last night, the Mexican govern
ment hurled defy on two major
American demands. These were:
/. Refusal to meet the American
demand that a fund be set up in
escrow pending settlement through
international arbitration of the
claims of some 200 small Ameri-
can agrarian land owners whose
property has been confiscated
since 1927.
2. The outright rejection OF
American demands that further
expropriation of American prop
critics cease until assurances are
given that prompt, just and ade-
ouate payment will be made for
lands taken by Mexico.
REJECTION SEEN
In the light of these two points.
there was no doubt in Informed
circles here that the United States
would reject the Mexican note in
its entirety.
Mexico's defiance left the rela-
tions of the two countries IN an
uncertain and chaotic condition.
The State Department received the
note with official silence.
Mexico's domestic prosperity Is
based almost wholly on foreign
sale of oil and silver. 1t has vir-
tually no other exports of impor-
tance. In the past the United
States has been its chief market
for these two commodities.
MAY END BUYING
In an effort to be good neigh
Dor the United States last Decem-
Der agreed to make huge monthly
purchases of silver bullion at
price we'll above the market to
keep the weak Mexican peso from
tottering and plunging the whole
country into an economic morass,
with the certain result Of a much
lowered scale of living.
Should the Cardenas govern
ernment continue to decline to
show a reasonable attitude toward
what the United States considers
lenient and just demands for pay
ment of property seized from its
nationals, further purchases OF
the two major exports by this
country will probably cease.

Employer Union
Plan Defeated
NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS
Bv PAUL MALLON

(WOrd copyright Syndicate AZ Rights Reserved
A RECOMMENDATION for employer unionism in bar
gaining with labor uonsm nearly included in the
presidential report on British labor relations.
The Washington times., 1938-09-05

The rebel vas President
Charles R. Hook. of the National
Manufacturers Association, who
is also head of American Rolling
Mill Company. He is a leading,
liberal industrialiSt, but he OBJ
jected to employer unionism in
his own industry just as force
fully as he objected to this COM
mission recommendation. When
U. S. Steel decided to accept
John L. Lewis and CIO, Mr..
Hook declined a union with his
big competitor. He is still de-
clining.
Lesson for Employers
VOU may be sure Mr.. r. did
l. not send his commission
abroad to get facts already in
possession of his Labor Depart
ment experts, merely because
this is Labor Day and he de-
sired some Administration pub
licity for it. This Government
has gone long way for pub
licity on occasions, but not that
far.
It is apparent also from the
factual text of the report that
he was not trying to promote
some amendment to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, as
was suspected by John Lewis
at the time the investigating
com m SSion was appointed.
There is no hint or suggestion of
any possible amendment in The
report.
Therefore, those who know
the inS and outs of the incident
are inclined to suspect Mr.. Roose-
velt laid down the document as
a lesson to employers. They will
find the main lesson in the Sec
ton referring to the registry"
of British labor unions and the
clear evidence that registry ex-
empts the unions from liability
for damages.
The question which Mr.. Roose-
velt seems to ask industry in the
report is whether they want
the British registry system or
whether they will let the New
York antitrust suit, brought by
the National Electric Manufac-
turers Association against the
AFL Electrical Brotherhood, de-
termine whether American
unions are liable for damages
under existing law.

ALLEEGD WIFE
 BEATER JAILED
South Main Street Man Faces Second Charge
 When Term Ends

Trouble and double trouble will follow Frank Antonio of South Main street for the next two months when he is in the county jail on & charge of wife-beating. And as soon as he is released he will be arraigned in city court on another charge, also based on his habit of beating his wife.
 Antonio was sentenced to serve two months in jail when he was ar- raigned in the court of common pleas before Judge Edward J. Finn, on a charge of breach of the peace. He was arrested on that charge April 30, tried in city court, and given six months in jail. The appeal was successful in that it shortened his sentence.
 However, while awaiting arraign- ment on his appeal, Antonio again took to beating his wife, and was arrested again on Monday. That case is still pending in city court and sentence will undoubtedly be imposed after the present term is completed. Antonio is the father ot five children. He pleaded guilty to the charge of breach of the peace.

sum is payable to the employe who reaches age 65 before being able to qualify for the monthly retirement benefits which begin in 1942, and MT. Austin stated that the employe does not have to retire from work ill order to collect his lump-sum pay ment.
 Proper Claim
 The death payment can be made to the estate or relatives of the en- ploye who dies before reaching age 65 and who has worked after 1886 in a job covered by the federal program. In order to receive either type of payment, the eligible em- ploye or the family of the deceased employe must file a proper claim with the boards field office.
 MT. Austin emphasized that this type of federal payment is based on the wages of the employe and that it should not be confused with old age assistance administered by the state and local governments tc needy persons who can meet the requirements of the state law and regulations.
 Persons entitled to the federal payment will be assisted in every way possible by the Waterbury field office, located at 108 Bank street, to get whatever money may be due them, MT. Austin stated. Full in- formation and necessary applica- ton forms can be obtained at that office.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-05

Volume of claims for lump-sum and death payments in New England under the feoeral old age insurance program is rapidly approaching advance estimates, according tc word received today at the Water bury field office of the social secur- ity board.
 R. E. Austin, manager of the office stated that about 800 claims for this type of payment, totaling about $15 ,000, are now being received each week from the six New England states, in comparison with an esti- mated annual total of about 27,000
 At the end of the programs first year, December 31, it appears that in many instances eligible persons had failed to file a claim for money to which they might be entitled, it was stated. and the boards advice tc these is, Its never too late to file your claim"
 Forgotten Claims
 The unclaimed federal payments are much like unclaimed deposits in savings banks, MT. Austin pointed out, sometimes forgotten by the de- positor or unknown to relatives of a deceased depositor, and he urged employees and their families to note the basis of these payments.
 A lump-sum death payment amounts to 3 1-2 per cent of total wages received after 1886 by persons under age 65 for work covered by the federal old-age insurance pro- gram, it was explained. The lump

Judge McEvoy May Ask Peasley to Re-Hear Evi-

Judge Frank P. McEvoy may re- quest that State Referee Frederick M. Peasley re-hear evidence in the appeal of Elizabeth Saginario from the action of the Liquor Control Commission in revoking her restau- rant liquor permit. The petitioner has made request with the court that the first report be accepted.
 The permit, for sale of beer at POI East Main street, was revoked July 9 for alleged violation of stipulation. Inspectors reported that Michael Saginario was working in the tav- ern, although the permittee in her stipulation agreed that he would not be allowed to do so.
 Question of whether the stipula- tion covered only the original per- init or the renewal has been advanc- ed, and this may precipitate the re- hearing by Referee Peasley.
