RUSS|A'S DEFIANCE
CALMS JAPANESE
Toxic Denies Threats as
Soviet Refuses to Pull Out
of Disputed Area.
RJJILETIN.

TOXIC. July % iPf.-Toklo
newspapers tonight quoted an un-
identified foreign office spokesman
as declaring that Japan lis ready
and has every right to take all
necessary steps" toward Soviet
Russia in their conflict over dis
puted area on the Manchukuo-
Siberian border. He was reported
to have said "Russia's action must
be interpreted as a challenge to
Japan"
BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. July 22.-Soviet Russia
made clear in plain words today she
will move troops as she sees fit along
her far eastern frontier. but that ii
there is to be war over the matter
Japan will have to start it. This. to
foreign circles here. appeared un-
likely.
The Russian governments sharp re-
lection of japanese demands for with
drawal of troops in territory claimed
by both nations. from the Soviet
standpoint, simply called Tokio's bluff
The next move was left squarely up
to Japan.
Japanese official spokesmen at
Toxic indicated Japan does not
contemplate sterner methods OF
enforcing its demands for with
drawal of Russian troops in the
disputed area. They denied there
had been any threats by Japan
to use force and pointed out the
whole matter involves question as
to jurisdiction, which Japan hopes
may be adjusted by compromise.)
Aim Is Defense of Status Quo"
The Russian stand was set forth
last night in a communique detailing
Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinoff' S
reply to representations of the jap
anese Ambassador, Mamoru Shige-
mitsu.
The disputed territory is near the
junction of Siberia. Manchukuo ano
japanese Korea, and of troop move
ments there the communique said:
Soviet detachments in this region
have no other purpose than defense
Of the status quo on our frontier
Unlike other countries, the Soviet
Union maintains armies not for in
vasion, but exclusively for the defense
of its own borders"
The Japanese demand for with
drawal Of the troops was rejected as
"unjustified and unacceptable" since
Russia regards the territory involved
as Russian.
The communique said Litvinoff told
the japanese Ambassador that al.
though threats of armed force might
be good diplomacy elsewhere. "suct
methods will not succeed in Moscow
"a japanese spokesman In Toxic sait
no threat Of force was made, but thai
Shgemitsu proposed withdrawal o1
troops be preliminary to a genera
comproinise)
Despite the rough language used by
both sides during the present dispute
one of many over the past five years
foreign observers here were disinclinet
to predict war.
The feeling was that Japan, with
her hands already full in China, wa.
not likely to risk actual conflict. (Thi!
appeared borne out by the Toxic
spokesman, who asserted the bordel
question could be disregarded for tn,
time being.)

BY JOHN C. HENRY.

ny JOnN y. HENRY.
Philip Murray. head of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee, told
the Senate Civil Liberties Committee
today that he knew of mo single
corporation in America that has re-
sorted to more reprehensible tactics in
opposition to legal trade unionism than
has the Republic Steel Corp"
Republic" he continued, "set out
to finance every known kind of in
strument to fight the lawful organiza-
ton of labor"
Under questioning. Mr.. Murray de-
MED without qualification that a
single instance" of any paid organizer
of the S. w. o. c.. indulging in any
unlawful act ever had been reported
to him. All such organizers were under
threat of discharge if such conduct
was attempted, he said.
On the other hand. Mr.. Murray de-
clared, organizers of the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee frequently were
spied upon. beaten up and arrested by
agents of the steel companies and un-
friendly local olice
Mr.. Murray testified that the C. I. o.
had spent about sl,500,000 on the
steel organizing drive and once had
employed as many as 328 organizers.
Since steel employees for the most part
were hesitant about openly becoming
organizers, the S. w. o. C. chairman
explained that most of the organizers
were brought in from other afiliates
of the c. I. o.
We discovered the industry was
well polluted with company unions
Mr.. Murray said in explaining initial
difficulties. 1T was the initial duty
OF the organizers to attempt peaceful
conversion of company union leaders
to independent trade unionism."
Asked about use of the strike
weapon in steel, Mr.. Murray read a
memorandum issued in March, 1887.
to organizers and S. w. o. c. locals
in which they were directed not to
present strike ultimatums to manage
ment and directing men to remain at
work pending negotiations toward
wage and hour agreements.
Mr.. Murray said the S. w. O. c.
now holds contracts with 535 steel
companies, covering 565,00O workers.
we have not had single strike in
these plants in the 18 months covered
by the contracts" he said. "Repre-

A sample of one of the "educational"
speeches was read by Chairman La

excerpt:

Agreed to End Practices
Opposed by U. S.
By the Associated Press.


The Chrysler Corp. was reported to-
day to have agreed to abandon several
auto-financing practices to which the
Justice Department objected last May.
The departments objections were
based on antitrust laws and were
placed before Federal grand jury at
South Bend, Ind. Indictments against
the Ford Motor Co., General Motors
Corp, the Chrysler company and 40
individuals we're returned.
Informed persons said the Chrysler
Corps agreement, drafted in the form
of consent decree, closely resembled
pending pact between the depart
ment and the Ford Motor Co. Both
agreements are subject to the approval
of Federal Judge Thomas w. Slick at
South Bend.
Although all parties were reported
ready to sign the pacts, Justice De-
partment official said Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings had withheld his sig
nature pending a conference with the
independent financing companies
whose complaints last year led to the
departments investigation. Approval
