Neutrality Vote
Gag Charged

WASHINGTON. Nov. TO-
House administration leaders to-
day intensified their drive for
votes for adoption of Senate
amendments 10 the Neutrality
Act, permitting sending of mer-
chant ships into combat zones. as
foes prepared to charge gag rule
and intimidation.
The powerful rules committee
was called into session to vote a
special rule for consideration OF
Senate amendments on Wednes-
day, with possibility that the vote
may be deferred until Thursday
night.
The administration plan report
edly called for a rule which would
permit but one vote in the House
IA vote for or against the amend
.ments added to the armed ship bill
originally passed by the House.
The Senate amendments repeal the
ban on ships entering belligerent
ports.
Taking up the cry Of Senate foes
against lifting Neutrality Act ship
ping restrictions, House opponents
charged that vote for the bill
means certain war.
The purported plan to allow one
vote on adoption of Senate amend
Iments, thus avoiding the usual
method of sending a bill to con-
ference for agreement on differ
Iences between the two bodies, was
characterized as gag" rule by
Representative Kitchener (R) OF
Michigan.

In passing sentence. Judge Ca

circumstances because a rival
union had kept him from working
in the auto plants.
Judge Gadola said:
'Some people may think the
sentence is too light because un-

life while others may think IL
too severe. L assure you that
seven and a half years is long
time because am told that
time drags at prison"
Little had nine years of sen.

1889, when Martin took his fac.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-Great Brit~
ain will declare war upon Japan
within an hour of any clash In
volving japan with the United
States, Prime Minister Churchill
announced today.
In the course Of long speech
at the annual lord mayors
luncheon at the Mansion House,
in which he disclosed for the first
time that Britain has now achieved
air parity with Germany, Churchill
said:
I'VE do not know whether
efforts of the United States -

will be successful.
"But II they fail, I take this
occasion to say--and IL ID my
duty to say--that should the
United States become involved

CHEERS GREET PROMISE
Prolonged cheering greeted his
fortnight announcement.
This warning to Japan. the
strongest yet voiced by the Brit
ish government, was coupled with
disclosure that the British navy II
now strong enough to send rein-
forcements to the Pacific or Indian
oceans should further spread of
hostilities render it necessary,
Churchill frankly predicted that
the war may soon spread ITO The
remaining fourth Of the globes

ern Hemisphere.
I'VE stretch out the long axm,
of brotherhood and mofheEhoea
to the Australian New Zealand
and Indian people, he said.

He continued:

RELEASED BY JUDGE

He was re e d. however
shortly before midnight at the re
quest of Recorders Judge Johr
Maher.
II tried to explain to the man
when he arrested me that / had
a new garbage can" Weller said,
"but he wouldn't listen. All he
said was Il have a warrant and
you're coming with me-"
At today's hearing before Judge
Maher it was explained that wher
appeared in court October
3 he was granted an adjournment
to the 18th. In the meantime he
got his refuse receptacle. He
never appeared in court on the
18th and as a result the lega
machinery TO obtain and serve Z
warrant on him was set in motion
Commented the judge:
Its ridiculous for a man
living on city funds TO be
ticketed by city officer for not
buying a garbage can which
would have to be paid for out
of city funds"

NO MONEY FOR CAN

Weller. however, received at
least three other tickets for the
same offense and he says that
each time he appeared in court
and explained that he had only
his pension and his wife was on
welfare and that they did not have
money for a garbage can.
On his last appearance in court
three weeks ago he was given a
welfare order for the garbage can
and he purchased one for 90 cents,
he explained as he sat in his Jail
cell.

COPPER MINES SHUT


Here In Michigan you have
some copper mines that are idle
or are not In full production"
he said. II am informed that
elsewhere there are copper
mines that are closed down or
not In full production. Why:
I'VE want production--all out
production-yet we not only ne
glect opportunities but counter
ance strikes i'm defense indus
tries. The splendid work which
Bill knudsen and his staff have
done to speed output has con-
stantly been short-changed by
unpatriotic actions of selfish
labor leaders. Are we all out
for national security or union
security"
Fuller suggested the following
six-point program TO end labor dis.
turbances:
Congress should be asked
for resolution declaring
that strikes for the closed
shop. check-on or similar issues
directed TO coerce workers, are
against the public interest.
C-Congress should be asked
for another resolution de-
nouncing jurisdictional strikes
as against the public interest.
AMEND WAGNER ACT
Q-Congress should be asked TO
- amend the Wagner Act so
as 10 withdraw its benefits from
any union engaging in a strike
which has been declared against
the public interest.
1.-The President should in
struct the various media
ton boards. Cancellation serv-
ices and national lebor relations
boards, TO announce-as a mat
ter of fixed policy-that such
boards and services would re-
fuse TO recommend in favor Of
a union or even to recommend a
compromise with il, when the
unions demand was declared by
Congress to be against the pub
lie interest.
IA majority vote, by secret
- ballot under government
supervision, should be required
before any strike is recognized
as being legal. Cooling off, pc
RODS could be established. L/
e-The President should vigor-
" ously recommend TO officials
of state and local governments
that they strictly enforce ex-
listing laws against mass picket
ing and coercion of workers who
| prefer not to strike.

is the one hun

- the birth of joaquin

His period was primarily
the period of the great trek

1.-THE days Of old and the days
of gold" i'm California.
He wrote many things, but
his "Songs of the Sierras, I"
"Songs of the Sunlands,"
"Songs of the Mexican Seas, /"
did the most to make him
famous.
His novel, "The Danites, "
and his play OF the same
name added to his fame.
All these subjects were
western - far western - and
Joaquin Miller was notably an
author of the Far West, a
delineatOr of far western
scenes and people and Incl

western migration.
He had a most varied, not
to say spectacular, career.
He was born i'm Indiana.
His father was a Quaker

after the manner of many IN
those days, ever farther west
TO newer lands-first from
Ohio to Indiana, then to ILL

broad Pacific limited his west
