SEVEN STATES
RUSH TO PLEDGE
COOPER Alto n
Andrews Makes Radio
Plea For Help

GN.S3 Governors and State
labor commissioners Of seven
States today wired Wage-Hour Ad-
ministrator Elmer F. Andrews
that he could expect their fullest
cooperation in enforcement Of
the new fair labor standards act
and in the setting up Of State
wage-hours standards equal to
those in the Federal statute.
Andrews broadcast over a ma
tion-wide radio hookup today and
told the country that he was en-
couraged to believe the new act
would soon result in the ascent
minimum wage and the 44hour
maximum week being applied to
all industry. He said that soon 1t
would not be necessary to draw
q line between intraState and
interstate commerce because ma
tional cooperation would make
the law apply to all Of industry.
PLEDGES WIRED
States that wired Andrews were
Alabama, Iowa, Mississippi, Texas,
Louisiana, Utah and Nevada.
Andrews appealed to employers
against establishing the IS cent
minimum pay in the law as q
maximum. He said:
"The law does not have any
thing to do with setting the
wage. It simply places floor
under wages. It is up to the
generous employer and the
worker by mutual agreement to
raise the wage floor above the
Is cents an hour minimum"
APPEALS TO EMPLOYERS
The wage hour administrator
closed his talk with an appeal to
employers not to go below the IS
cents minimum, even in the case
OF learners and handicapped work
ers, for whom exception is pro
vided in the act. He said it should
be possible to pay the Is cents an
hour minimum to every worker in
industry capable Of handling any
job at all.

WAR VOTE PLAN
FIGHT SU RE IN
NEXT CONGRESS.
Sentiment Still Strong
To Keep Peace

1N.SO. Opposition will be re
newed at the next session of Con
eress to the war referendum plan
by which the people would vote
on whether they want to wage any
war in which invasion of the
United States is not threatened.
This was foreshadowed today by
senators and representatives who
returned to the capital from senti-
ment-sounding visits to their
homes.
President Roosevelt is expected
to continue his opposition to the
war referendum plan. He vigor-
ously supported Secretary of
State Cordell Hull during the last
session, when the war referen-
dunn resolution. introduced by
Representative Ludlow Cd, Of
Indiana, was killed.
DIVIDED ON NEUTRALITY
Linked to the war referendum
fight will be a major struggle over
the neutrality law, with Congress
sharply divided. One group wants
to make the law more mandatory
on the President and curtail his
discretionary powers; another bloc
would modify the present law,
while a third faction would repeal
the act entirely.
Il think Congress will act to
lessen the discretionary power Of
the President" said Senator
Walsh (DO of Massachusetts,,
chairman of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee. He added:
There will be demands for
war referendum measure of
some kind. I think the Amer
ican people are unalterably op-
posed to anything that might
lead to war, except in case Of
invasion.
FEELING INTENSE"
'I don't think we realize the
intensity of the feeling in this
country against war. We should
avoid any word or deed that
might offend other nations or
lead to war"
Senctor Reynolds CD OF North
Carolina, who has visited nearly
every State during the last few
months, said he had found wide
spread sentiment in favor of the
war referendum proposal"
The Administration has opposed
the proposition on the ground IL
is impracticable; that if a war
we're threatened valuable time in
meeting the enemy would be lost
while the Government awaited
the result of a referendum.

Premier Bella Imredy today pur-

note rejecting Prague's territorial
concessions and demanding speedy
satisfaction.
Hungary's note recognized an

vakia'S proposals, but held that
some Hungarian-populated towns
in Czechoslovakia were not in
cluded in the cession offer.
The Hungarian legation in
Berlin denied reports in America
that Wednesday had been set as
the deGdline for q satisfactory
Czech offer, 1Dith military action
as the Hungarian alternative. II
l0GS pointed out in Berlin that the
new note to Prague proUided an
opportunity for further discussions
With scores of thousands Of
troops still lining both sides Of
the Czech-Hungarian frontier, il
was understood here that Hungary
expects to occupy the purely
Hungarian areas of CzechoSlo
vakia peaceably by November /
It was stated that the Hungarian
army of some 400, 900 men is i'm
patient, and the government can

More than 1000 voters were
visited in their homes, on their
farms, and in their stores during
the first two days Of the poll. Al
though they gave the lead to Gov
ernor Herbert H. Lehman, his
margin over his Republican op-
ponent, District Attorney Thomas
E. Dewey, is only 3.6 per cent.
LEHMAN IN LEAD
Lehman got 51.8 per cent Of the
straw votes collected during the
first two days, against 48.2 per
cent for Dewey. When he was
last elected in 1886, Lehman got
54.8 per cent Of the actual two
party vote, against 45.2 per cent
for the Republican candidate, VIII
liam F. Bleakley.
The straw poll thus far indicates
Lehman has dropped 3 per cent.
Most of the loss is shown in the
straw vote upstate, although the
poll indicates he is also slightly
weaker in the city.
Lehman's percentage Of the two
party vote upstate in 1885 was
4O.71; the straw poll thus far gives
him 39.4O per cent upstate. His
percentage in the city in 1885 was
67.35; the straw poll thus far
gives him $500 per cent.
GAIN OFFSETS LOSS
Lehman lost heavily in every
assembly district polled in the city
except one, the Eighth Bronx, in
which his gain over 1886 was al.
most great enough to balance the
loss in all the rest. Here is how
the returns compare with 1896:
