German Forces
Storm Defenses
OF Warsaw
Troops in Suburbs
After Capture
OF Fortress
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Sept. 26.-An army com
munique indicated today German
forces had started to storm the
defenses of Warsaw after all efforts
had failed to convince the Polish
commander of the "gruesomeness
and uselessness of resistance"
The Polish capital has been
besieged since September 8. The
drive to crush Warsaws resistance
was launched yesterday.
In q surprise attack, the COM
munique said the Germans cap
tured Mokotowski fortress and then
pushed into the warsaw suburb OF
Mokotow. 2 MokotoWski Is one oi
four forts guarding Warsaw from the
south and west. The others are
Forts Bema, WolsN and Szczesliwicki
Today's comluunique said the army
in Poland was moving toward the
German-Soyiet Russian demarca-
ton, and that in brief fights with
the Poles along the lower course Of
the San River 1000 prisoners were
taken by an armored division.
Adolf Hitler returned today from
the eastern front No further de-
tails were divulged.
Six Planes Reported Shot Down.
Artillery fire and minor scouting
activities were reported on the
western front along with the shoot
ing down of six French planes and
two captive balloons. This boosted
the air toll in the west, according to
German figures, to 80 planes and
balloons.
A new gesture of friendliness
toward France by the Nazi govern
ment was expected in informed
quarters. Rumors, completely With
out official verification, were to the
effect that Germany might release
French prisoners taken to date on
the western front.
The same rumors had 1t that Ger
many believed the soldiers would
be good peace propagandists, If they
could be convinced the Reich feels
no animosity toward France.
Odicial sources contended Ger
many has no war aims regarding
France and that her chief concern
is that her opponents may violate
the neutrality of Belgium and thu
Netherlands to attack Germany at
spot unprotected by the Siegfriet
Line.
Neutral Violation Feared.
According to earlier reports from
London, the British feared tina
German troops massed near thu
Netherlands and Belgium nigh
strike out toward France through
neutral territory. DNB, of1icia
German news agency, said, ut ma,
be true that the neutrality of Bel
gium and the Netherlands is endan'
gered, but not from the German
side"
DNB added that Germany "woule
least want the battle front along thl
Netherlands and Belgian frontier
because that is uncomfortably clos.
to the Ruhr coal fields and to th'
highly developed lower Rhine indus
trial region.
"The constant revival Of this dis.
cussion must lead to the conclusion
here that there Is a basis for sus'
picion that there is the intention
on the part of Germany's opponent
to violate Belgian and the Neither
lands neutrality for which they ar
now seeking q plausible excuse"
A man close to the Governmen
said, in summing up German policy
I'VE are ready for peace, and we ar
ready for war. but the initiative TO
warlike actions must be taken b,
Germany's opponents"

Neutrality Farley
Weighs Limits Of
'No-War' Zones
Delegates Hail Settlement
An Oppressive Peace
Connot Be Accepted
By the Associated Press.

PANAMA, Panama, Sept. 26.-
Representatives of 81 American re-
publics met in closed session today
to determine the limits of neutral
zones in American waters from
which all belligerent activity would
be barred.
Hailing assertions the Western
Hemisphere never can concur in an
Oppressive peace" the delegates
turned today to consideration of
practical measures to protect their
own neutrality In the European war.
Delegates apparently were almost
unanimous in approving the key
note speech of Panama's foreign
minister, Narciso GarAy, who de-
clared yesterday the neutrality con-
ference would gain '1mperiShable
glory" if Through our efforts we
may declare peace throughout the
world"
Garay, president of the confer
ence, added that the Western Hemi-
sphere would resist all attempts to
establish an Oppressive peace based
on the points of bayonets and the
mouths Of cannon"
In Closer Bond.
Meanwhile. diplomats who at
tended the Pan-American Confer
ence in Lima last December voiced
belief European hostilities had
brought the American nations much
closer together
European observers indicated they
were impressed with evidences Of a
united stand against violence and
the businesslike manner in which
the conference settled down to dis
cuss concrete means Of guarding
neutrality of the two American con-
tinents.
Among proposals expected to re-
ceive consideration were:
Establishment of cooperative
patrol of American waters to
protect shipping lanes against
belligerent activity threatening
normal maritime commerce.
A common neutrality declara-
ton to supplement previous in
dividual proclamations and
strengthen continental solidarity.
"ReprovaT of all actions by
belligerents tending to carry
hostilities to American waters.
Mutual commercial aid where
required, supported by bilateral
arrangements to relieve the prob
lem of surpluses in many coun-
tries.
In connection with the last point
the delegates studied with interest
the speech of United States Under
secretary of State Summer. Welles
who said yesterday his country
wishes to cooperate with all other
American republics in the efforts OF
each to develop its resources along
sound economic and non-competitive
lines"
Numerous delegates also voiced
support of Mr.. Welles' call for a
stand against any activities in New
World regions by warning European
powers.
Mr.. Welles said he believed the
time had come when the American
republics must state, and state
clearly and in no uncertain terms,
to all of the belligerents, both as a
right of self-protection and as q
right inherent in their position as
peaceful and independent powers,
constituting an entire continent re-
mote from the causes of the hostili-
ties which have broken out, that
they cannot agree that their secur-
ity, their nationals, or their legiti-
mate commercial rights and inter-

American Federation of Labor, the
presidents of the several departments
of the American Federation of Labor,
and such other officers of national and
international unions as he may deem
advisable.
Roosevelt to Get Action of Conference
"We likewise recommend that this
committee present this action of our
conference and of this declaration and
petition to the President of the United
States, to the President of the Senate,
and to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and to urge immedi-
ate and favorable cooperation in this
effort to right these grievances and
wrongs.
at is our further recommendation
that upon adjournment of this con-
ference the representatives of all
unions in attendance visit their re-
spective United States Senators and
Congressman, and urge upon them
the necessity for immediate and fa-
vorable action on this petition. Then,
too, we recommend that copies of this
statement of grievances and petition
for relief be forwarded Immediately
to all central labor unions affiliated
to the American Federation of Labor
for their information and guidance"

relief measure is working vital in
jury not alone to labor but likewise
to free enterprise in the construction
Of other fields Of industry.
"If the Government is to continue
in it's construction policy and in ven
turing into other fields in competi-
tion with free enterprise, then in our
judgment it should prove an exem-
plar in the establishment and de-
velopment Of labor policy that will
tend to raise the standards of life
and work rather than to lower them
and repress our wage earners.
Congress Urged to Re-enact Prevailing
Wage Rate Provision
"There is a well established method
for the redress of grievances-the
right of protest; the right of petition !;
the right of appeal to Congress and

"This conference is aware that the
Congress is now in session.
"In keeping with our rights this
conference, therefore, petitions Con-
gress Immediately to redress griev-
ances and wrongs herein complained
of by Immediately reenacting the pro-
visions calling for the observance of
the prevailing wage rate on w. P. A.
projects.
"In order that these declarations
and petition may be carried out with
out delay, your committee recon-
mends that the president of the Amer

sentative committee whose member

"This tremendous pressure for i'm
mediate action by Congress prevented
adequate discussion of serious conse-
quences that would follow Immediately
should the provisions of the prevail
ing wage be eliminated from the Act.
Government Has Hitherto Approved
Prevailing Wage Rate
"This action taken by Congress was
seemingly violation Of the princi-
Piles covering wage earners on all
other Government projects which had
heretofore been established by Con-
gress.
Congress had heretofore enacted,
and the President signed, the Bacon
Davis Act which provides for the pre-
vailing wage on work done by the
Government.

proved, the Walsh Healey Act which
provides for the payment of the pre-
vailing wage on all manufactured
goods purchased by the U. s. Govern

ever since w. P. A. has functioned
the prevailing wage has governed and
has been paid under joint resolution
| of Congress whereby the President
was authorized and did fix the rates
of wages so as not to affect adversely
or otherwise tend to decrease the 60
ing rates of wages paid for works OF
similar nature.
"It is clearly evident from the fore.
going that the policy Of the Govern
ment up to this time has been to es.
tablish, formulate and administer its
labor policy so as to protect the work,
ers in the prevailing wages established
and followed in free and private en-.
terprise.
"It has always been the definite
policy of the Government up to this
time to so protect and advance the
rights of wage earners to collective
bargaining in free enterprise in order
that advanced standards of compen
sation and Of working conditions might
be established for all workers from
time to time.

lieve that the government of thu

Heavy overnight buying orders

to cash in and dealings dwindled ap-

In addition Wall Street thought it
