A. F. l.. to Explore
Peace With G. !.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The American Federation of Labor
said yesterday that the possibilities
of peace with the C. I. o. would be
"explored" at the winter meeting
OF the A. F. of L. Executive Council,
opening in Miami Monday.
The federation issued a statement
saying other problems to be dis
cussed are congressional legislation
to amend the Wagner Act and wage
hour law, the expansion of organ
izing work, especially in textiles.
and fraternal relations with foreign
labor organizations.
1t is expected that President Will
liam Green will make a report to
the council on his informal talks
with Secretary of Labor Perkins
concerning the prospects of reopen
ing c. I. GA. F. of L. negotiations
before spring.

heretofore applied to hourly pay
rates on w. P. A. The Appropri-
ations Committee struck out House
language which would have put a
Is per cent limit on the amount of
wage differential in different local
tiles for the same class of work.
Consideration of these other ques-
tions came as an anti-climaX after
the tense roll call, on which the
economy group and the admins
tration forces were so closely divided
that the result was in doubt until
the last name was called.
For several days, while debate
went on, leaders on both sides knew
the result would be close, and both
had expressed confidence of victory
yesterday morning. Several SEN
ators are believed to have waited
until the debate was almost con-
cluded, however, before making up
their minds. Administration sup
porters indicated last night they
had not expected to lose the votes
of Senators Reynolds of North Caro-
lima and Lucas of Illinois, both
Democrats. They also had enter
tanned some hope that Senator
Davis, Republican, of Pennsylvania
might vote for the larger amount,
but he supported the committee,
after pointing out that the bill
leaves the President the opportunity
to ask for an additional sum later
If he so desires.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah
left sick bed to go to the Capitol
long enough to cast his vote for
the committees estimate.
Business Encouragement Forecast.
In bringing the debate to a close
Senator Adams declared that if
the country sees that Congress is
going to use some discretion In
making appropriations and put the
brakes on the spending program
business will be encouraged and you
will be surprised at the amount OF
unemployment in industry that will
| result"
In his closing argument, Senator
Byrnes minimized the value of tele-
grams from mayors of cities urging
Congress to increase relief appro-
priations.
Senator Byrnes also told the Sen
ate he is making inquiry to deter
mine how many married couples are
both on w. P. A. employment rolls.
He said that at national headquar-
tiers of the relief agency there are
46 such cases. There are 21l w. P.
A. employees here, he said, whose
husbands or wives are in some other
Government department. Figures
for the field service are not COM
plete yet, he said, but a partial re-
port shows 128 cases outside Of

Survey Seeks 10 Spur
u. :, Plane Sales
In Latin America
Expansion Sought to
Cut German and
Italian Trade
By the Associated Press.

by LHS hsSoSioeSo = ASoSs
An extensive survey of the air
craft and air transportation business
in South America has been started
here as an adjunct of the national
defense program.
The study was described authori-
tatively today as foreshadoWing
Government encouragement and
possible assistance in improving
markets which American aircraft
manufacturers recently have report
ed are being endangered by Ger
many and Italy.
More than half dozen Govern
ment agencies are cooperating with
the Civil Aeronautics Authority in
gathering information on the DO
tential airplane market in Latin
America.
Authorities said sales expansion
would be of benefit to the United
States in checking the German and
Italian trade drive there. and in
providing further work for Ameri-
can manufacturers, thus keeping
them better prepared to handle
United States military orders as
they materialize.
Healthy Sales Increase.
The United States last year led all
competitors with sales of about $12,-
100000 worth of airplanes, parts and
accessories to the 20 Latin American
republics. This represented a healthy
increase over the s1O,53o,756 total
for 1887.
Some Of the European govern
ments have gone to great lengths in
subsidizing aircraft sales in Latin
America" Leighton w. Rogers. re-
firing president of the Aeronautical
Chamber of Commerce, reported
this week.
There are several Instances
where Latin American governments
have been invited to buy European
alrplanes in exchange for minerals
or commodities and we may expect
further efforts to be made along
that line"
Mr.. Rogers also pointed out that
Germany and Italy have allowed
up to five-year credit terms in SELL
ing planes, thus putting American
manufacturers at a tremendous dis
advantage.
George Grant Mason. member
OF the G. A. A., declared in recent
speech here that aviation was being
used by Italy and Germany to win
markets and gain political foot
holds to the south of U.S."
Natural Barrier Hurdled.
He also said the infiltration into
South America of European aircraft
and alrmen virtually neutralized the
natural barrier provided by the At
lantic Ocean.
Of11cials said the European COM
petition might be met by granting
long-term credits of the Export
Import Bank to manufacturers
Such credit already is under con-
slderation, particularly in connec-
ton with one or two countries about
to place large aviation orders.
In this connection Mr.. Rogers
commented:
While to date American aircraft
have been sold because of superior
performance, a more liberal credit
system must be devised either with
or without the active support of our
Government"

Snow Muroons IS Families
On PENNSYLVANIA Mountain

the past week, when heavy snows
swept this district and the temper
aure dropped to zero levels.
Mr.. Morrison. whose farm is 3
miles away, said 1t was not unusual
for those marooned to be snowbound
for weeks and that the hill farmers
prepared for this by laying in ample
supplies of food and fuel. Morrison
added that unless serious sickness
should develop, he believed there
was no cause for alarm.
The nearest town is Ohiopyle,
miles from the Fayette County
slopes of Sugar Loaf. Farmers in
the valley believed the hill folk could
make their way thereon snowshoes
if necessary-if an emergency de-
man0ed.

Welles Says Foreign
Policy Goal Is Peace,
With Reservations
Defends Right to Protest
! Attitudes Threatening
U. S. or Violating Treaties
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Peace-
but with reservations-is the pri-
mary objective of Americas foreign
policy, Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles told the New York
State Bar Association last night.
He identified these reservations as
the right to protest or, if need be,
challenge the foreign policy of any
other nation threatening the Sc
curity of the United States or vio-
lating its treaty rights and to con-
demn any country engaged in ''cruel
and inhuman treatment Of human
beings"
His speech summarized this coun-
try's official position at this 'gravely
serious" and "disquieting moment in
our civilization"
Holding that the cardinal element
ir' the policy of the United States
should be to retain at all times COM
plete liberty of action" Mr.. Welles
added that these traditional tenets,"
however, have never involved the
right on the part of this Govern
ment to condemn or to assail the
form of government under which
other peoples may live
Neutrality Law Weaknesses.
The Undersecretary urged that
Congress. in considering amend
Rlents to the present neutrality law,
observe President Roosevelt's recent
warnings as to the dangers OF eX-
listing legislation.
Our existing neutrality legiSla-
ton, which modified in certain par
ticulars our traditional neutrality
policy" he said, was enacted with
the intention of minimizing the risk
of the United States being involved
in the difficulties which would tend
to draw our country into contro-
Versies not of its own making.
But as the President said in his
message to Congress the other day:
:AFe have learned that when we de-
liberately try to legislate neutrality
our neutrality laws may operate un-
evenly and unfairly-may actually
give aid to an aggreSSor and deny II
to the victim. The instinct OF SELF
preservation should warn us that
we ought not to let that happen any
more"
Other Important Objectives.'
Deploring an ever more rapid de-
terioration in international relation
ships and in human relationships,
Mr.. Welles said the administrations
foreign policy had highly important
obiectives" besides peace.
These, however, he said were sup
Elementary to the fundamental OBJ
iective that the people of
the United States be kept at peace
and that they be permitted to live
their lives in a peaceful world"
He listed as other detectives:
"The developing and strengthen
ing of our friendly relations with
other powers; the Improvement OF
commercial opportunities for Amer
lean trade abroad; the maintenance
of the legitimate interests and treaty
rights of American nationals in
foreign countries; the re-establish-
ment of the reign of international
law to supersede the rule of force;
the reduction and elimination OF
economic barriers to international
trade. and the limitation and reduc-
ton by international agreement Of
military and naval ornaments"

Trial in March

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., Jan. 28.-
The first action filed by the Wage
Hour Administration to enforce the
Fair Labor Standards Act will prob
ably be tried at the next term OF
U. S. District Court here, which is

The suit was filed yesterday to en-
join the Central Weaving & Spin
ming Corp. of Fayetteville from vio-
lating the act.
The corporation manufactures
silk and rayon cloth and pays it's
employees on a commission basis.
The complaint alleged the mill paid
some employees less than Is cents an
hour and had failed to keep records
required by the Wage-Hour Act.
The act sets a minimum pay of
Is cents.

George A. McNulty, associate gen.
eral counsel of the Wage and Hour
Division, who filed the suit. said a
number of similar suits in other
parts OF the country would follow.
The suit, he said, was not re-
garded as test" case, but a rou-
tine step in enforcement. The Wage
Hour Act provides for such civil
suits as we'll as for criminal actions

The action seems to restrain the
corporation from engaging in inter-
state commerce. The complaint set
forth the cloth sold by the company

is also transported in interstate
commerce.
