perse a crowd estimated at 500 and
open way through Newspaper Guild
picket lines for workers to enter the
Duluth News-Herald plant, closed by
an American Newspaper Guild strike,
starting April 3. in demands for a
guild shop. The papers resumed

1t. Jack Englert, head Of Police
Traffic Bureau, read the rioting law
to the crowd, which had been milling

fired tear gas.

Robert F. Glander, Minneapolis, of the
Associated Press, and Carl Wallenton,

The returning workers had met last

unit of the American Newspaper Guild
the guilds demands. Their return
at 7 am. today came after another
week end meeting of their own group.
In st. Paul Gov. Elmer Benson re-
ceived a wire from Carl johnson,
president of the Lake Superior News
paper Guild, pleading for him to "re-
turn peace to this community before
lives are taken"
Mr.. johnson asserted police refused
to permit "even two pickets" in front OF
the plant and asserted full picket
line will resume tomorrow, adding that
repetition Of police brutality will
bring further bloodshed."

The American people somehow
missed a pump-priming scheme that
was pump-priming scheme back
in 1888, according to . letter that
went today to President Roosevelt
from Amos E. Pinchot, New York
lawyer, Who used to be "a warm
admirer Of your administration"
All about the scheme and the
letter was incorporated in q two
page account that found its way into
newspaper offices and repeatedly is
destined also for the Congressional
Record through the good offices Of
Senator Bridges, Republican, Of New
Hampshire.
Summed up, the 1888 pump printing
called for nothing less than showering
cash from airplanes cruising the skies,
in the hope that the submerged third
could get theirs If they felt like bending
over to pick it up.
The author Of the plan-Mr. Pin
chot speaking-was none other than
Thomas Corcoran, White House ad-
wiser.
Mr.. Pinchot, who is against the
present pump-priming program, re-
counts that he met Mr.. Corcoran IN
q New York hotel IN 1888 and was
sounded out on his possible appoint

Efforts to arrive at a compromise
to stave of a prolonged battle over
the curb on P. w. A. municipal power
projects in the work-relief bill were
being made today as the Senate pre-
pared to begin debate on the measure.
Majority Leader Barkley indicated
he was considering an amendment to
permit P. w. A. to make loans for
public power projects in cases where
municipality has offered to buy the
private plant with which the municipal
project would compete.
The Kentuckian was reluctant to
discuss what may be done until he
has given further study to the issue.
which threatens to delay adjourn
ment. He indicated, however, that
while he does not believe there should
be unrestricted Government compe-
tition with private plants, he does not
favor the amendment in its present
form.
Added to the $3,247, 100000 lend
ing and spending bill by the Appro-
priations Committee Saturday, the
amendment would prohibit further
P, w. A. allotments for public utility
DEVELOPMENTS that would compete with
private plants whose rates are subject
to public regulations.
Forecasts Defeat.
Meanwhile, Senator Adams, Demo-
crat, of Colorado, said he believed the
amendment would be defeated in the
| Senate.
Senator Adams, floor manager Of
the bill, told reporters he believed
raising Of the power trust" issue by
opponents of the amendment would
cause the Senate to reject the pro-
posal.
The amendment was placed in the
bill on motion of Senator Hale. Re-
publican, of Maine, after Philip H.
Gadsden, chairman Of the Committee
Of Utility Executives, had testified
the utilities were ready to launch a
large construction program If the Gov
ernment would aid in restoring con-
fidence of utility investors.
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat,

curb would not receive Senate ap-
proval, and said consideration Of the

To War on Proposal.
Senator Norris, Independent, OF
Nebraska, long an advocate of NUM-
cipal power development, announced
Saturday he would wage war on the
committee plan.
On the other hand, supporters of
the restriction will contend that use
of Government funds to build city
plants in direct competition with ex-
isting private facilities will not ac-
complish the purpose of the pending
bill, which Is to increase employment.

all Canadian products which now
enter duty free.
This closer tying together of
the English-speaking democracies
is part of a broad program for
a united front against aggressions
by the authoritarians dictator
ships of Europe. It is the hope,
if not the expectation, of the
Administration, that all of the
conditions which point to inter
national complications will create
a public sentiment strong enough
to induce Congress to authorize
the expenditure of hundreds of
millions, perhaps billions, of fresh
funds for building up the Army,
Navy and Air Force to what mill
tary men consider essential.
Appoints LandOn
The President is not unm1nd-
full of the fact that 81 Republican
members of Congress voted last
year against his billion-dollar
naval program. He is anxious not
to have national defense become
party question.
This is taken here as the reason
why he appointed the nominal
head of the Republican Party,
Ex-Gov. ALT M. Landon, as a
member of the United States del
egation to the Lima Pan-Amer-
lean Conference. Much stress
is being laid upon Gov. Landon's
declaration, in accepting the ap-
pointment, that partisanship ends
at the boundaries of the nation.
The defense program already
under way includes, besides the
building of the largest navy Am
erica has ever had, orders to large
manufacturers for essential war
supplies, so that they can get i'm
mediately into mass production of
weapons, gas masks and other
essentials if the situation gets
critical.
The President is backing the
plan to increase the number of
fighting airplanes from 2,230 to
more than 1000.
The stage is being set to fight
if we have to. The real idea back
of it all, however, is to convince
Europe that we are ready to fight
if the integrity of the Americas
is threatened.
