Mdchinists Sign
2l8 Agreements
Wage Increases and Other
Union Benefits Feature
Contracts

Washington, D. C.-Many people in
the United States take vacations dur
ing the Summer. But these respites
from work evidently are not appropri-
ated by the representatives of the In
ternational Association of Machinists,
an affiliate of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The fact that the arduous efforts
of the Machinists' representatives to
strengthen the organization and i'm
prove the economic conditions of it's
members are carried on INCREASINGLY
is set forth in the July issue of the
Machinists' Monthly Journal, which
lists 21S new or renewed agreements
recently signed.
Many of the contracts carry wage
increases, shorter hours, and vacations
with pay. Practically all of the con-
tracts stipulate higher rates for over
time work and work on holidays and
Sundays than for regular time, and
regulations safeguarding seniority are
extensively applied.
Eureka, California, was the banner
town for the period covered by the
Machinists' report, with 81 renewed
or new agreements and three renewed
memorandums of understanding sign

automobile dealers signed up, and in
Redwood City, California nine auto
mobile dealers affixed their signatures
to the union agreement.
1t should be pointed out that the
21S agreements listed do not tell the
whole story. Some of them are null
tiple agreements in which employers
associations sign for a number of
firms. In San Mateo, California, for
example, the agreement with the San
Mateo County Motor Car Dealers As
sociation covers 10 firms. In Seattle,
Washington, the agreement with the
Automotive Maintenance Association
includes rs individual shops. In King
County, Washington, the agreement
renewed with the King County Deal
ers Association covers IA firms, and
in Mobile Alabama, the agreement
with the Southern Kraft Corporation
covers the firms eight paper mills and
one bag factory. If the different firms
covered by the multiple agreements
were segregated as individual units
the number of agreements listed would
be increased by more than one hun

State Officials
Hope To Salvage
Building Program
Progress Cited In Meeting
Courts Constitutional
Requirements
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, GA major part if not
all of the contemplated s10,000,000
welfare institutional building pro-
gram may be financed in manner
meeting with constitutional require
ments outlined by the Ohio Supreme
Court in recent decision, it was fore
cast last week by state officials.
Members Of the Public Institutional
Building Authority, created by the
Legislature to promote the financing
and construction of needed state well
fare buildings, other state officials
and representatives of bond under
writing companies have had several
conferences since the Courts decision
attempting to find a means of financ-
ing the program.
Welfare Director Charles Sherwood
announced last week that officials felt
reasonably certain that at least one
new state institution for the feeble
minded, to house $500 patients and to
cost approximately s2,50O,O0O could
be constructed within constitutional
limitations.
Bonds for the construction of such
an institution would be retired from
fees paid by the additional patients
cared for, which would meet with the
Courts ruling, it was said.
A study is being made of all state
institutions to determine what other
construction could be paid for in the
same manner.
William S. Konold, executive secre-
tary of the Authority, was optimistic
over the chances of saving all Of the
contemplated program, expressing the
belief that sufficient new revenue
patients could be cared for in addi-
tional buildings to make their con-
struction possible.
A definite decision as to the future
plans of the Authority and state off
cials, including the possibility of an
other court test, was expected this
week.

STRONG PROTESTS
 SENT TO JAPANESE
American Consulate De- mands Protection in
 Kaifeng District

Hankow, China, Aug. 4. (UP)- The American consulate sent what were described as strongly worded and urgent representations to Jap- anese authorities today to protect Americans in the Kaifenf district.
 An intense anti British campaign apparently had spread nto 8 gen. eral drive agaist foreigners, the American consulate said.
 Kaifeng is on the Great Yellow river, near the Peiping- -Sankow rail- road in North Central China.
 Before the representations were made 1t had been reported that sea- sonal floods were making 1t difficult for British missionaries, ordered from their posts in the Japanese sponsored anti-British campaign, to evacuate.
 A United Press dispatch from Peiping said today that it was esti- mated that 70 Britons, mostly mis- sionaries, were preparing to leave, or already had left, North China.
 It was reported that the entire Chinese congregation of the British Baptist church at Taiyuan had been arrested after IA Baptist and two Salvation Army Missionaries had been warned that the congregation was liable to harm unless Britons got out.
 Sixteen persons leaving the area had been missing for several days. They were due at Shichuachwang, on the Peiping-Hankow railroad, Tuesday.
 More than 20 Britons at sinanfu had not been heard of since they were ordered, two weeks ago, to get out within two weeks.
 Anti-British agitators at Peiping today installed an electric sign at the Tiunamen gate, near the for- bidden city of imperial China, in- scribed: Down With the British" It was explained that the purpose of the sign was ito enlarge anti British propaganda and awake the attention of residents to It."

appointed Emmons to the staff of the department canvassers, and in the city, according to Sergt. Petit, performed conscientious work.
 State police investigation of the fraud will continue in New London and Windham counties, to determine the extent of the activity. At one time during the questioning, Em- mons said he obtained only $50.
 Used Official Position
 Emmons admitted having used his official credentials as an accredited member of the convention commit eee to carry out the fraudulent en- terprise in town and cities far re- moved from the scene of the con- vention, and not included in the authorized lists of solicitees.
 Loughlin is well known in Water bury and has resided at the Palace hotel for some time.
 Emmons, Pannone and Loughlin were turned over to the state troop CTS immediately after their arrests last night, while Teller, who was picked up on East Main street by Patrolman Henry McCann, was talk en into their custody today.
 Solicited Advertising
 The men solicited the fraudulent ads for the officials program, which was highly praised by visitors here yesterday, after the book had gone to the printers. Loughlins' parti- cipaiton in the scheme is believed to

 Her left wrist had been slashed and a blood-covered handkerchief was found on the floor of the room, indicating she had attempted to kill herself, then decided to kill the children too. The police found three pictures in her suitcase. Two were of the children and the third of her husband.
 Thomas Weaver, a taxicab driver, who had his machine parked in front of the hotel, happened to look up and saw the three bodies plung- ing toward him. The mother struck the sidewalk fraction of 8 second before her children.
 Death was instantaneous. The children wore sun suits, exactly alike. Mrs. Langer was fully clothed.
 Policeman William Gonaude was on traffic duty at the corner.

 An hour later all three were plunging toward the sidewalk.
 Meanwhile, Langer had been awaiting their return, intensely elat- ed over the letter. Hours passed and he heard nothing and when police arrived at the Langer home early today, he was pacing the sidewalk. He spoke Czech but could manage a word or phrase of English. Friends had warned police that he had weak heart. So they told him there had been an accident" and took him to police headquarters to break the news gently.
 Langer's first reaction was such that onlookers feared he might have a heart attack. After his first out burst of brief, he regained some measure of composure and told his story in Czech:
 T had owned the Hynek Marpoles Textile Company which had been in my wife's family. My wife, our sons and myself went to France late in June, and July l came to the Uni- ted States. We left Prague because of the political situation in the country. We came here on a visi- tors six months visa.
 Since my wife has been in this country she has been Respondent and constantly talked about want ing to commit suicide and also to take the children with her. Yester- day she asked me for $20 and I gave 1t to her because she said she want ed to ysa to the zoo with the kids. She seemed to be in good spirits. They left and I didn't see them again"
 He was overcome again, and po- lice judged his condition to be such that he might be tempted to kill himself. Therefore, he was required to remain at police headquarters through the night.
 The Langers had been living in a small hotel. There were other Czechs there, including Mrs. Lan- gers aunts, Hermine Well and Ertha Bergman. One of the Czechs was asked to go to the police headquar- ters and act as an interpreter.
 "Langer is a friend of mine, and I'll be glad to so." he said. But I'll have to give you an alias, not my right name. You see, I am a refugee"
 The alais he gave was Eric Eis- ner."
 Miss Well, Mrs. Langer's aunt, told police that she was positive the fear of being forced to return to Prague had motivated the tragedy.
 Being without e home made her lose her mind" she said. "Y0ll know how conditions are in Czech- olslovakia. They might as well let Karl commit suicide tonight too. He'll do 1t anyway"

PLAN TO SETTLE
 STRIKE IS READY
Will Be Presented Today to General Motors Plant
 Employees

Detroit, Aug. 4 - A plan for set- ting the strike at 12 General Mo- tors plants, that has idled 5000 men for 8 month, cost them almost $1,- 100000 in wages and caused the company to suspend its employees security program, will be submitted today to officials of the Congress of Industrial Organizations United Au- tomobile Workers Union.
 James P. Dewey, federal labor conciliator announced that the peace plan had been drafted. He had just left conference with representa- tives of the company and the union, and his announcement was taken to mean that the conferees had ap- proved 1t. This would mean ordinar- fly that 1t had the sanction of the company and awaited formal union approval.
 Dewey gave no details. Should union officials accept the plan, 1t would be submitted to the rank and file tomorrow.
 The strike has been on since July 5, when tool and die makers, main- tenance workers and engineers-all classed as skilled workmen-walked out demaning special contract sup- plementing one the union has cover ing production workers.
 The company refused to enter such a contract until the question of whether the CIO or the American Federation of Labor's JAW repre- sented 8 majority of workers had been settled legally.
 The skilled workers also demand 8 flat wage increase in all plants, and the company contended that the subject should be considered at each plant individually.
 Eleven of the affected plants - Fisher Body, Chevrolet, and Cadillac manufacturers-were in the Detroit area. The other was at Cleveland, where 100 were injured this week in fighting among pickets and police- men. There also had been isolated outbreaks of violence in this region and 1000 policemen were put on emergency duty here Wednesday after fight among pickets and non strikers at Fisher Body plant No. 37.
 At most plants, production work CTS had stayed at their jobs throughout the strike, except where their work depended on supplies and tools provided by skilled workmen.
 More than 8 week ago, William s. Knudsen, president of General Motors, estimated that the strike had cost employees $700,000 in lost wages. The employees security plan was suspended effective July 10 be- cause of the strike. It had been de- signed to provide for employees dur- ing temporary lay-offs.
