More than half Of the 1000 Ameri-

Surveys undertaken after the an

today to account for at least 1000 men.

little hope for anxious relatives that
their fate might ever be learned.

are understood to be in the units now
being withdrawn. Some of them are
injured and have been In hospitals.
200-300 in Hospitals.
Between 200 and 800 others are re-
ported still to be in Spanish hospitals,
their evacuation delayed by serious in
juries or by difficulty in getting them
out of the central zone. which has no
communications with France.
About 100 wounded veterans have
returned to the United States. State
Department reports show that 80 to
100 are in Gen. frances prison camps.
The department has records of the
deaths of only about 200 Americans
during the entire campaign. The rest
are simply missing, their fate un-
determined after long inquiry by rela-
tives and American officials in Spain.
Search has been complicated by the
fact that many of the volunteers
fought under assumed names.

Virtually all Americans who went
to Spain enlisted on the Madrid Gov

Kurt Lindenberg. German Consul
at Cristobal. had offered his services
to help a military investigation which
was made before the four young pris-
oners were delivered to civilian police.
Herr Lindenberfl blamed the Incl
dent on an innocent Sunday outing
which, he said, led the picnickers into
forbidden zones. He declared Army
officials were within their rights to
resent stupid. though unpremedi-
tated, intrusion on the military reser-
vation."
The four were arrested Sunday
while taking pictures Of Galeta Point,
first defense of the Atlantic approach
to the canal.
They entered Fort Randolph Reser-

denied, the sentry said. that they had
a camera. The question is routine to

Close Watch on Visitors.
By the Associated Press.
The Canal Zone, most heavily
fortified area under American control,
sometimes is called the Achilles Heel"
OF United States defense, because OF
its apparent susceptibility to attack
or sabotage.
Seizure Of four Germans alleged to
have been taking photographs In the
Fort Randolph area indicates the close
watch kept on visitors to the area.
Millions Of dollars have been spent
to fortify the 50-mile system of lakes
and locks through which the American
Navy must pass to move from the
Pacific to the Atlantic coast.
There are six permanent fortifica-
tions, manned by about 10000 soldiers.
The forts are heavily armed with long
range guns and anti-aircraft weapons.
In addition there are scores of the
Army's latest fighting planes, and
three squadrons Of the Nays new
long-range patrol bombers. Half a
dozen submarines and some small
gunboats also are kept there
President Roosevelt inspected the
canal defenses on his cruise last sum-
mer. He had visited there previously
in 1884.

mately $50 warships will pass through

The action led to formal protest.

CHICAGO (ILNs). Opposing
the position taken by the American
Newspaper Guild that collective bar
gaining" is the central idea, the chief
purpose, the crux Of the National
Labor Relations Act, Victor A. GLAND
er, Secretary treasurer Of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor, while on
the witness stand tcstifying as an ex-
pert for the American Federation Of
Labor at recent National Labor Re
lations Board hearings in Chicago, de-
clared that "some very grave errors
may be made" if the NLRB upholds
the position taken by the guild.
Mr.. Olander testified under oath,
in part, as follows:
"For many years the American
Federation Of Labor sought to or
ganize the newspaper writer's. 1t did
succeed in bringing into existence
some local trade unions in a few
cities like Boston, and think there
was one in Philadelphia.
News Laws Aided Organization
"Then came the National Industrial
Recovery Act with section IA that
gave to the workers everywhere a
greater opportunity than they had
ever had before to organize with
safety, without discrimination on the
part Of employers, or less discrimina-
tion than in previous years, and then
as the movement, beginning with sec
tion IA of the Recovery Act, grew,
and the Labor Board resolutions fol-
lowed, and finally the establishment
of the National Labor Relations Act,
such groups as the guild that had
had as the newspaper writer's that
had had very little opportunity to or
ganize before got together, first IN
these local unions, generally under
the banner of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. That was true Of the

Ia Pan American Nations
Have Minimum Wage Laws

Minimum wage laws have been en-
acted in fourteen Latin American re-
publics, according to an article in
the current issue Of the Pan American
Union, which analyzes labor legislat-
ion in force in the various countries.
Laws either fixing minimum wages
by statute or by statutory commissions
have been enacted in Argentina, Boil
ivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico,
Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venez-
uela.
In most of the fourteen countries,
the article declares, the regulation
of wages is accomplished by special
commissions, but certain wages have
been established by direct legislative
action in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil,
Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Uruguay and
Venezuela.

Union Head Protests
Communists Arrest
washington, D. c. lILNS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)
Francis J. German, president Of
the United Textile Workers Of Amer
lea and member Of the Textile Work
ers Organizing Committee of the
C. ]. o., has protested to Gov. Robert
e. Quinn of Rhode Island against
recent arrests of communists in Woon-
socket, r. T., as a violation Of civil
and constitutional rights.
"Our organization guarantees the
right of political and religious free
dom, and we don't propose to see
those guarantees swept aside by q
pocket edition of Hitler, either IN
Jersey City, or in Woonsocket," Cor
man said in an open letter to Quinn.
"The workers of Rhode Island are
not communists. But if the right
of assembly is denied to communists,
we know that our trade unions can
be affected in the same manner. We
are constantly protesting the Hitler
persecution Of Jews and Catholics IN
Germany, and we cannot be con-
sistent or in keeping with American
principles if we permit the use of the
same methods of prosecution against
any minorities in the United States.

Revival of Business Indi-
Gated Says Cabinet Officer

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) secre-
tary of Commerce Roper says that
natural economic factors, coupled
with the influence of constructive leg
islation by congress, point the way
to an early favorable trend in the
business cycle for which business
Immediately should make provision"
The principal factor pointing to-
ward revival, he said, is that selling
is running ahead of production in
many lines. Inventories in key busi-
nesses are about 14.5 per cent below
those of 1887. Most Of this reduction
has come since February.

President Signs Measure
Against Strike-Breaking

Hyde Park, N. Y. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has signed the Byrnes
bill making transportation of strike
breakers across state lines a felony.
Violation Of the act is punishable by
a fine of $4,000 or by two years
Imprisonment.
Railroads and other common car
riers are exempted. The men who
hire and pay for the transportation of
strike breakers are the ones aimed
at.
The bill was introduced by Senator
James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina,
to remedy a weak point in his earlier
bill, enacted in 1886.
