R CRACKS DOWN ON THOSE WHO WON'T WORK Persons Wl:o—Refuse Jobs Will Be Cut Off Relief Rolls, He Warns WASHINGTON, Aug. 10— The contest between the New Deal and striking relief workers appeared | headed for a showdown today as, union leaders predicted the Ncw York walkout would spread to many cities. President Roosevelt has issued an ultimatum which said that those who turn down work relief jobs will be cut off the dole. Thus they will be deprived of any form of federal aid. Relief workers in Washington | after Imlngche'warrulu refused to recognize the New York trouble as a strike. The President took !flrry L. Hop- kins, Relief Administrator, with him on his week-end cruise and there was no indication of a plan to in- crease the security wage payments ranging from $19 to $94 a month. These wages long have been bitter- ly fought by the unions on the ground that they threatened to tear down the wage scale in private in- dustry. They are the bone of con- tention in the New York trouble, Reliable sources said today that the President's tax program suf- fered a blow when the Senate Fi- sance committee rejected his plan | for ia steeply graduated tax on cor- poration incomes. e — REPUBLIGAN NYE PREDICTS F. D. R '3 RE-ELECTION North Dakota Senator Sees| Formation of Third Party as Likely ; | WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.— Sena- tor Gerald P. Nye, Republican of North Dakota, predicted today a third party at the next election and said it appears President Roosevelt will be re-elected if he does not swing to the right. Nye said many liberals felt a third party should be created now “to be used as a progressive agen- cy with which to eye the future.” Speaking on what he believes likely to happen when Roosevelt leaves office, he said ‘‘without him it is likely the Democratic party will resume its former conservatism and should the Republican party re- main conservative there will be no place for us independents to go.” Thus he sees formation of a third party. Unless the Republicans nominate a real liberal he probably will sup- port Roosevelt next election, Nye said. ALFRED ZENGER, JR., INJURED IN FALL Alfred Zenger, Jr., 15-year-old son of The Empire's circulation manager, was knocked unconscious for a few minutes and suffered seyere cuts and bruises when he fell about 16 feet from a second- story window to a concrete side- walk on Main Street last night. Young' Zenger was attending a birthday party in honor of Bernice Waugh.
