CANTREL BACKED
BY INDEPENDENTS
Group Pledges Opposition to
Organization Men for
Second Time.
By JACK ALLEN.

The line between the two Demo-
cratic factions In Montgomery County
became unmistakably defined today
with the independents Endorsement
Of Joseph A. Cantrel in the sixth dis
trict congressional race.
1t was the second time in three davs
the independents pledged opposition
to State candidates supported by the
organization, and unquestionably it is
the last step necessary to align def
nitely the two groups against each
other in the State as we'll as the
county primary.
The Chevy Chase attorney long has
been a bitter opponent of the organi-
zation from the standpoint of county
politics and it occasioned no surprise
when the organization came out for
his primary opponent. former State
Senator William D. Byron OF Will
Transport.
With the independent faction, which
was formed originally to support a
slate of candidates for county Offices,
indorsing Mr.. Cantrel, the organi-
zation forces no doubt will be spurred
to renewed vigor in their efforts to
carry the county for Mr.. Byron.
Will Support O'Conor.
1t was first indicated two days ago
that the independents, who previously
had decided on a hands off" policy
in the State campaign. would go out
Ito get certain State candidates
indorsed by the rival county faction
They voted to throw their support
to Attorney General Herbert R. O'Con-
or, held to be the strongest opponent
OF Mayor Howard w. Jackson. who
is the organization nominee, in the
Democratic gubernatorial battle.
Previously it had been felt the
State race would have no effect on
the county campaign, but political
observers said today the indorse-
ment of Mr.. O'Conor and Mr.. Cantrel
would draw sharp factional lines in
the State primary as well as the
county primary.
Mr.. Cantrel, who is seeking nomnia-
ton for the seat yielded by Repre-
AoNio Lewis 81 IIldL lie
might contest the reelection of United
States Senator Millard E. Tydings,
leveled his guns on the organization
for the first time in 1894.
His Attacks Potent.
1t was in that campaign that Mr.
Csntrel and other i-organizat ton
Democrats joined with the Republi-
can party in a Fusion movement
opposing the organization in the
county election.
Placed on the Fusion ticket as a
candidate for the House of Dele
gates, he led his ticket to gain a
seat in the Maryland Legislature, one
OF the six places the Fusionists cap
tured in the election. 4
The Chevy Chase man also aerved
as chief spokesman for the Fusionists
in the "a race, and his vitriolic
attacks upon the organization are
generally credited with swinging a
sufficient number Of voters behind
Fusionists to elect three of their
number to the Board of MONTGOMERY
County Commissioners.

RAP At DIES UNIT
IS HELD EVASION
Nonpartisan League Claim
That Prober Is Fascist
Called Smoke Screen
By the Associated Press.

by tIle hSSOClateo HleSS.
Chairman Dies, Democrat, OF Texas
accused labor's Non-Partisan League
today of throwing up smoke screen
to obscure charges that many Of its
organizers and officials are Com
munists.
Mr. Dies said the labor organiza-
ton. political arm of the C. I. O., had
"evaded the real issue" when it charged
Edward F. Sullivan, one of the COM
mittee investigators, with having been
"a central figure in subversive activi-
ties"
The league delivered to the COM
mittee aft1davits charging that Mr.
Sullivan previously worked as labor
spy, that he had been actively asso-
ciated with Fascists and that he took
part in IAN undercover campaign of
slander" against President Roosevelt
in 1896.
The committee chairman, in a tele-
phone conversation with Mr.. Sullivan
in Boston, instructed the committee
agent today to prepare affidavits and
statements in support of his conten-
ton that the leagues charges are un-
true.
Mr.. Dies said Mr. Sullivan had de-
MED the charges and that the COM
mittee would meet in a closed session
to study both the leagues accusation
and Mr.. Sullivans reply as soon as the
latter is submitted.
Declaring that he had invited John
L. Lewis and other C. l. o. officials
to appear to refute charges that Com
munlsts held responsible positions In
the c. I. O., Mr.. Dies said Mr.. Sui
livan had nothing to do with pro-
ducing testimony on this point.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 26.-At
least 79 warehouses. including all the
wholesale grocery establishments in
San Francisco, were closed today by
a labor dispute involving a meandering
freight car and matter OF. principle.
Employers predicted suspension dur
ing the day Of the wholesale liquor
business, which would add about 20
more warehouses to the imperative
list and involve an estimated total Of
1000 workers.
Further complicating the labor re-
lation picture in San Francisco, scene
Of many of the nations bitterest and
longest strikes, was the threatened
walkout Of 1000 clerks in 81 major
department stores because Of a COL
lapse in negotiations for a new con-
tract.
Employers yesterday closed 36 gro
cery warehouses ahead of the eventual
arrival of freight car which for
more than two weeks has been refused
unloading by union warehousemen,
who contend it was loaded by strike
breakers. Many warehouses In trans
bay Oakland also are involved.

HELD IN KILLING
Each Accuses the Other of
Death of Illinois Farmer
Who Had Money.
By the Associated Press.

FAIRFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-Two
young women, vagabonds since they
left their homes in the Tennessee
mountain country July S, have ac-
cused each other of the murder of
Felix Shannon, 56-year-old Mount
Erie, Ill. farmer, Sheriff Earnest

The sheriff said Mrs. Jean Brooks
%, OF Elizabethton. Tenn, and Mrs
Beulah Honeycutt, Is, of johnson City.
Tenn, each declared the other had
fired the shots which killed Shannon
as he lay in bed.
Sheriff Burkett obtained oral state
ments from the women last night
after he had taken them on a 1OO-
mile trip around the countryside and
several witnesses had identified them
as having been seen near Shannon's
home Monday, the day after he was
slain.
During the trip, Mrs. Honeycutt, a
buxom blond, maintained an air Of icy
indifference, but Mrs. Brooks chat
tered amiably and twitted deputy

Sheriff Burkett said Mrs. Brooks
story OF the Staying was that Shannon
had picked up the women Sunday as
he was driving his 8-year -old son,
Carlyle, to Somerville, Ind, where the
boys mother resides. The Shannons

as saying, but he said he would stop
for us on his way back. While we
were there we met friend of Beulah's
who told us the old man was good
pickings' and had a lot of money.
Beulah's friend told us to 60 with
the old man for couple of days and
come back and see him.
Shannon met us and took us to his
house. We sat around for three or
four hours, drinking some homemade
wine, and then went to another room
and laid down on couch. Beulah
stayed in the room with Shannon.

by two shots. I ran into the other
room and there was Beulah She told
me I'd have to shoot the old man, too,

LABOR LAW FIGHT 1
SEEN|NCONCRESS
Battle Looms Over Extent
Of Changes Employers
Ask Many, c. |. 0. None.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Debate over amending the Wagner
Labor Relations Act, developing ever
since its passage in 1885, apparently
will reach climax In Congress next
winter.
Congress heretofore has blocked all
attempts to revise the act or to in.
vestigate its operation. Now, however,
Mr.. Roosevelt has suggested that the
National Labor Board, labor unions,
and employers get together to recon-
mend Qualifications.
Discussion in the Senate and House,
therefore, probably will center on the
extent of changes to be made.
Officials Of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce and the National
Association of Manufacturers have offs
fered long lists of proposed amend-
ments. Executives of the American
Federation Of Labor are drafting their
own suggestions at Atlantic City thin
week.
c. I. o. Opposes Changes.
On the other hand, representatives
OF John L. Lewis have said the c. ]. O,
leader was opposed to any changes in
the act, which guarantees to workers
the right to bargain collectively with
employers through spokesmen of their
own selection. The c. l. O. has urged
its members to demand that Congress
keep hands off" the law.
Persons close to the National Labor
Board said its three members were
puzzled by Mr.. Roosevelt's reference
to ambiguous sections of the law.
Board members have opposed in public
speeches most Of the amendments sug.
gested in various quarters.
Most pleas for revision OF the act
have been based on these contentious:
That it is "one-sided' because is
places prohibitions against employers
only, and not against unions of en-
ployes.
Fanatical EMPLOYERS,
That the act and its operation have
fostered industrial strife rather than
diminishing the causes of labor dis
putes.
That the act and Labor Board de.
cisions have been partial TO labor.
Chairman Madden Of the Labor
Board has referred to contentious that
the act is overbalanced for labor as
'ludicrous." He has declared that.
industrial strife resulted not from the
act or board rulings, but from ia
natical opposition Of employers until
Supreme Court decisions cleared the
air.
Edwin S. Smith, board member,
has reported that the board settled.
more than 10000 cases involving 2.
100000 workers. He said this in
cluded settling or averting more than
1900 strikes.
Changes in the law generally recon-.
mended by various employers organi.
cations include:
Changes Asked by Employers.
That unions, employees and others
as we'll as employers-be prohibited
from coercing and intimidating
workers.
That sit-down strikes, seizure Of
property and strike violence be def.
nitely outlawed.
That employers be freed from obi.
cations to bargain with unions which
indulge in unfair labor practices"
That unions be required to incor.
porate or publicly register their
finances.
That employers be permitted to ask
the Labor Board to step in and de-
eide contests between rival unions.
(Only employees now can ask board
action)
That the boards power to void labor
agreements and contracts be limited.
