i. 5. Steps In 10 Bar
Aluminium Strike BY
Ordering Farley Here
ConciIiotor Summons
Both Parties as TuIks
Fail to End Pay Deadlock
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, July 6.-Anxious
to prevent any delay in the defense
program, the Federal Government
today took a firm hand in a dead
locked wage dispute threatening a
strike in the aluminium industry
vital to airplane manufacture.
In patriotic appeal to the C. I. o.
Aluminium Workers Union to con-
slider the Nations interests. DR.. John
R. Steelman, chief conciliator of
the Labor Department. asked that
strike action be withheld, and sum-
moned officials of the union and the
Aluminium Co. of America to Wash
ington to continue negotiations
Monday.
Speaking ION behalf of the Gov
eminent" DR.. Steelman told the
union that under the circumstances
no other alternative is available,
and both parties are expected to
comply"
Both Parties Comply.
N. A. zonarich, international
president of the union, and I. w.
Wilson. vice president of the COM
pany, gave quick assurance they
would
Observers said that was the
strongest language they recalled a
Government conciliator using In a
ma or labor fight.
The s250,000, 900 corporation, sole
producer Of aluminium in the United
States, has said almost 40 per cent
Of its production is for Government
, orders. Almost 80 per cent of the
modern airplane is made from
aluminium
DR.. Steelman made his request
after attending two conferences on
the unions demand for a 10-cent-
an-hour wage increase for $4,000
employees at five of the company's
plants. They are at New Kensing-
ton, Pa; Edgewater, N. j.; Badin
| N. c.: Alcoa, Tenn. and Detroit.
The last conference ended early
today with both sides apparently
steadfast. The company has re.
fused general wage boost, but ha.
indicated willingness to make ad.
justments in certain classifications
Profits Were S36,O00,O0o.
After months of dickering, two OF
the plants voted last week to strike

down.
Estimating the raise would total
$4,000 900 year, the union claimed
higher wages are justified in view
of the concerns $36,000,000 profit
in 1899.
The company countered, however
that the raise would run to $6,O0O,-
900 to include an additional $4,000
employees not covered by union con.
tracts. The management also said
its present minimum pay of So
cents an hour compares we'll with
such competing industries as steel
whose base rate is 621a cents.

Hull Reported Cool
To Second Place on
Democratic Ticket
Would Prefer to Keep JOB
As Secretary Of State,
Friends Declare
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull was de-
scribed by close friends today as
cool to the idea of running for Vice
President on a Democratic ticket
headed by President Roosevelt.
These persons said they had been
advised Mr.. Hull would turn down
the second place nomination if he
were consulted in advance of the
balloting at the Democratic Con-
vention. They added, however, he
probably would accept if the con-
vention drafted" him.
Mr.. Hull was said to feel he would
rather continue in his present job
than be Vice President But,
friends added, party loyalty might
impel him to take draft" nomina-
ton.
High sources said earlier this
week that Mr.. Roosevelt has de-
cided to accept third term nomi-
nation and wants the 68-year-old
Secretary Hull as his running mate.
Garner Not Interested.
Friends of Vice President Garner,
contender for the presidential
nomination. who also has been
mentioned for second place, said he
was mot interested" in another
term in his present Office.
While Mr. Garner will remain in
Washington during the convention,
his managers said last night his
name would be presented to the
delegates They already have opened
headquarters in Chicago
E. B. Germany and Mrs. Clara
Driscoll, Mr.. Gamers managers,
said in statement:
Mr.. Carriers name will be pre-
sented at the Chicago convention
Texas As votes are instructed for
him and he will receive substantial
support from many other States"
Wheeler Opens Headquarters.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, who
also is establishing convention
headquarters, has announced that
his name would be placed in nomi-
nation regardless of whether the
President runs. Senator Wheeler S
friends conceded it would be futile
to oppose Mr.. Roosevelt, however,
and asserted the Senator might
change his mind and withdraw if
it were certain the Chief Executive
would accept denomination.
Senator Wheeler repeatedly has
said he would not accept the vice
presidential nomination on any
ticket.
There was a widespread belief
here that formulation of the for
eign policy plank in the Democratic
platform would develop a major
battle in the Resolutions Committee
and that the fight might be carried
to the convention floor.
Senator Wheeler, arguing for a
strict peace plank" based on nom
involvement in European affairs,
said yesterday that approval of any
other policy would lead to the crea-
ton of a third party. He added,
however, that he would withhold
any decision regarding possible par
ticipation in such a party until after
the Democratic Convention.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, July 6.-The Italian high
command announced today that
two enemy attacks with strong
forces" were repulsed at the forts
of Capuzzo and Birsleman in North
ern Africa.
Fighting by fast-striking columns
and airplanes was reported by the
high command in Libya, near the
Egyptian frontier.
British air raids on the Sicilian
bases of Augusta, Palermo, and
Catania was said to have resulted
in little damage.
Meanwhile, the Italian cabinet
approved an appropriation of $685.
100000 lire ($13,250,O0O for the i'm
provement of naval bases.
The cabinet, meeting with Pre-
mier Mussolini, also approved a
series of minor wartime measures
which included provisions for re-
imbursing private citizens with gov
eminent bonds for war damages.
War pensions for injured civilians
also were authorized.
Marshall Rodolfo Graziani was
appointer governor general of Libya
by decree. He previously had re-
placed former Governor and Air
Marshal Italo Balbo, killed in a
plane crash recently, as commander
of the Libyan troops.
The Fascist weekly Relazioni In
ternazionai said Marshal Graziani's
succession to Marshal Balbo meant
the beginning of 'wide-scale oper-
ations to re-establish italian domi-
nance" in African Mediterranean
territories, which have been part
of the British Empire.
The cabinet also approved a pro-
posed law compelling moving pic
ture theaters to show war propa-
ganda films
Count Galeazzo Ciano and dele
cation of his foreign ministry aides
sped to Berlin for conference with
German officials, possibly concern
ing diplomatic move in the Bal
kans.
Although some quarters felt that
the meeting might discuss an axis
war move, perhaps a joint German
Italian attack on Britain. foreign
observers assumed the object was
diplomatic because Premier Musso-
lini sent foreign ministry officials
with Count Ciano rather than mill
tary officers.
Count Ciano left shortly after
midnight and an official announce
ment said his visit was on invita-
ton of the German government.

Change In Puerto Rico

President Roosevelt's appointment of Jose
M. Gallardo as governor of Puerto Rico marks
a new departure in our relations with that
island territory. For it places the executive
office in the hands of a native Puerto Rican
who is thoroughly familiar with the problems
of the island.
The break is more apparent because of the
contrast between the new governor and his
predecessor, Admiral William D.. Leahy. The
admiral is one of our foremost naval strate.
gists and he was sent to Puerto Rico pri.
marily because of the islands great impor-
lance in the defense Of the Caribbean and the
Panama canal. He was an able administrator
as well, but his appointment was made chiefly
with an. eye to American needs.
The selection of Mr.. Gallardo, on the other
hand, seems aimed directly at meeting the
aspirations of the Puerto Ricans themselves.
Many of the islanders have been impatient
for increased self-rule. More Spanish thar
American in background, they have been the
jobject of intensive propaganda by Spanish

Fascist groups. Economic distress in recent
wears has not helped to increase their regard
for the United States.
Mr.. Gallardo enters upon his new duties
with an impressive record. He has taught in
both Puerto Rican schools and American col
leges: he is a veteran of the World war. For
the last three years he has served as .com-
missioner of education for Puerto Rico and as
2 member of the governors cabinet. If he
measures up as an administrator he should be
able to do much toward improving conditions
in Puerto Rico and Strengthening the islands
ties to the United States.
