Indian Dialect Keeps
Radio Messages
Safe at War Games
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Aug.
19.-When the 2sth Infantry,
1st Division Regular Army,
found the enemy" anticipating
its every move in these war
games. officers decided their ra-
dio telephone messages were be-
ing intercepted.
The outfit thought 1t had the
problem solved when 1t turned
the radio over to a couple OF
German-born doughboys, but
the enemy" apparently had
some one who could speak Ger
man, too. Italian proved no
better.
The command of the 28th was
stumped-until some one re-
membered there were two full
blooded Tuscarora Indians
among the enlisted men.
The 28th's radio messages
meant nothing to the enemy
from then on.

Packing Strike Turns
On Armour's Attitude
On Written Union Pact
6. !. O. Makes Concession,
But Threatens WoIkout
If Company Refuses
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The prospect of a G. I. o. strike
in the packing industry appeared to-
day to hinge on Armour e. Co.'S re-
action to demand for a written bar
gaining agreement.
Van A. Bittner, chairman of the
Pacsinghouse Workers Organizing
Committee, holding out the threat OF
a strike before Labor Day, disclosed
here last night that the c. I. O.
would agree with Armour to put col
lective bargaining on a plant-by-
plant basis, but that the agreement
was contingent on Armours Wiling
ness to reduce any agreement to
writing.
The Bittner offer was a modifica-
ton of G. I. O.'s previous stand for
an agreement covering all Armour
plants.
Armour officials conferred with
Secretary of Labor Perkins here yes
terday. The Secretary quoted them
as saying local managers had ample
authority for separate plant nego-
tiations, but that the company op-
posed national agreement as i'm
practical"
Sitting with Miss Perkins at
press conference, Mr.. Bittner made
it clear his offer to modify his bar
gaining demands was limited strictly
to a promise of written contracts.
IF they don't agree to sign" he
said, there will be a strike"
Mr.. Bittner said he did not know
Armour's attitude on signed agree
ments, and Miss Perkins refused to
say what position the packing COM
pany officials had taken in their con-
ference with her.
The Armour representatives re-
turned to Chicago with alternative
suggestions from the Secretary for
meeting the C. l. o. demands.

Canned Beef Imports
Gain During First Half
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
South American canned beef
which President Roosevelt described
as superior to the domestic product,
entered the United States in in
creasing quantities during the first
half year of 1899.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that imports for that
period totaled 41.00000O pounds,
compared with 80 100000 in the first
six months year ago.
In his comment last spring which
aroused the anger of Senators from
Western cattle States, Mr.. Roosevelt
mentioned only Argentine beef, but
the department report showed the
imports came from Uruguay, Brazil
and Chile as we'll as Argentina.
The President said that in this
country choice beef is sold fresh.
but In the Argentine the market is
not great enough to absorb the sup
ply and choice cuts are sold in cans

From Rumunio Drop
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press,
BUCHAREST, Rumania. Aug.
49, Lack of ready cash or credit
was reported in government quarters
today to have cut down Nazi Ger
many's oil purchases in Rumania.
Exports to the Reich are fixed at
30 per cent Of the total Rumanian
trade within their barter agreement.
Germany, in order to swell her pun
chases, has paid for additional ex-
ports of petroleum in cash or the
Czech credits which she absorbed
here after the breakup of that re-
public. With these spent Rumania's
oil exports to Germany now have
returned to the fiat 30 per cent
under the barter agreement.

His car halted on a lonely by
pass, Mr.. Moorshead was struggling
with the bandit who later died for
possession of .22-caliber pistol the
man had thrust in his ribs. The
other bandit, in the rear seat, was
slugging Mr.. Moorshead on the head
with blackjack
At the approach of the Guards
men, the bandits fed up hillside.
A dozen soldiers pursued them
through high weeds and brush.
Stop or We'll Shoot" yelled 1t.
Henry Ortlip
One of the men turned around and
yelled back that if we didn't stop, he
would shoot" the lieutenant related
later. Neither halted their pace.
Then we heard shot.
I'VE kept going and a little dis
tance ahead we came across a man
lying on the ground, unconscious. We
turned our flashlights on him
and saw he was bleeding from a bull
let wound in the right temple. Near
by lay revolver one bullet fired"
The other bandit escaped in an
automobile State troopers said was
