 Slave Of Strife
(By Associated Press)

Japan's offer of a truce to Soviet Russia in the border hostilities has raised hopes for peaceful settle ment in the present crisis which threatens to draw the Japanese troops into a second Asiatic war.
 The situation Is far from set tied however and is on dangerous grounds.
 Russian artillery is reported pounding the Japanese lines on the disputed Changkufeng Hill near the junction of the Russian-Japanese- Korea a-Manchoukuo border
 The next move is up to Japan as the result of the Russian Govern ment's brief statement setting forth how negotiations may be opened for peaceful settlement. In brief the terms are that fighting must cease, artillery be withdrawn and all Japanese soldiers evacuated from Soviet Territory and that Japan must recognize the Russia China treaty of 1886 with border maps at tached to it.

J. E. EDCERTON PASSES AWAY,

Fighter Against NRA, Col lective Bargaining, Dies
 Tn Tennessee

LEBANON, Tenn, Aug. 5.-John Emmet Edgerton, 58, who rose from laborer in the woolen mills of North Carolina to the Presidency of the National Association of Man ufacturers in the United States, died here last night He waged militant fight against the great textile strike of 1894 and also warred on many phases of the New Deal. More than a decade before Fran kiln D. Roosevelt became President, Edgerton began 10 years of service as head of the National Associa ton of Manufacturers in the United States, but it was after he had left that office and become spokesman for the industrial south that he at tackled the governments labor poli- cy under the National Recovery Ad- ministrat tion, blaming it for much of the labor trouble in those unset tied days.
 Claims Made
 At the outbreak of the textile strike in September, 1884, Edger- ton wired Roosevelt that the walk out was more against the govern ment, the National Recovery Ad- ministration, the code system and constituted authority than against the affected employers of labor" 1 But the roots of the strike, charged i this manufacturer whose own plant at Lebanon, Tenn, escaped unaf- fected, lay in the system itself It never would have happened, he said, had it not been for Section "A, the collective bargaining section, of the National Industrial Recovery Act and for "the commonly accepted as- 1 Surance that nobody shall go hun gry.p
 Raped Bargaining
 At every opportunity Edgerton rapped the collective bargaining clause, describing it on one occasion as the one-sided, wholly partisan unjust section "A of the National Industrial Recovery Act, which was written into it by the mailed hand of the American Federation of La bor."
 Of a promise to furnish strikers with food through Federal relief agencies, Edgerton said that if it were withdrawn the strike would 1 last less than a week.

 BIG WELCOME
New York City Greets Douglas Corrigan on
 Arrival from Ireland

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Cool, brash young Douglas Corrigan rode tri- umphantly up lower Broadway to- day, grinning as the temperature rose and sweltering thousands cheered his progress, indifferent to the oppressive heat. All the enthu- siasm for his mad solo flight from New York to Dublin was let loose and a continuous roar dinned upon his ears from the Battery to the City Hall.
 Tons of torn paper and ticker tape fell on Corrigan as he sat in the back of an open car.
 James McCurrin, Chairman of Mayor LaGuardia's reception com mittee, and the Mayors secretary, Stanley Howe, were in the second car with Corrigan's brother Harry and the latter'S wife.
 Such crowds and such boisterous enthusiasm has not been seen in New York City in years, perhaps not since the frenzied tribute given Col Charles A. Lindbergh.
 Fully 100000 persons gathered at the Battery and let out one mighty roar when Corrigan hove into sight Police said about a million people were watching Corrigan in the few blocks from the Battery to City Hall
 The Mayor gave him freedom of the city for the prepared impul- siveness of your grand flight"
 Corrigan remarked he could say little because the Mayors speech well nigh floored me-" but added that he could say to the Mayor that you too have your compass set in a certain direction and you'll get there if you want to-" With a note of slyness, he added further, If you know what I mean"
 Apparently the crowd knew for it exploded with laughter. The Mayor looked surprised, then he too, grinned.
 It was revealed late in the after noon that Corrigan was put to bed briefly suffering from chest in jury received apparently when t/- crowd stormed his automobile just before his Broadway parade earlier today. His Brother Harry said the cartilage around the breast bone was broken and he was quickly heavily taped. Corrigan said he would go through with the welcom- ing schedule and did.
