DAVS ATIAGAS ST ON TARFF Secretary of Labor Also Hits Immigration Stand of Dem- ocratic Nominee. By the Associated Press. PATERSON, N. J, October 25.—As- serting that the single issue in i.l'l:i presidential campaign is “how can we best maintain and increase the pros- perity in America and who is the best man to do it?” James J. Davis, United Btates Secretary of Labor at the Pat- erson Armory last night, attacked the policies of the Democratic party on the tariff and immigration issues as out- lined in the speeches of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. The restrictive immigration law, the Secretary said, “is the twin sister of the tariff law. One law keeps out a flood of low-priced goods, the other keeps down a flood of people willing to come here and work for lower wages.” ‘The Secretary also questioned if Gov. Smith can, if elected, direct his party policies, in so far as the tariff is con- cerned. “How can he,” Secretary Davis said, “take his party with him on: the tariff when his party refuses to follow him on prohibition.” Mr. Davis expressed himself as be- lieving that “the beloved American people will prefer to keep in office the party that originated the protective tariff.” The speaker declared that a protective tariff was necessary to safe- guard the silk industry in Paterson, and predicted that American people would elect Herbert Hoover for President. The address was made in the pres- ence of thousands of people in the armory and amplifiers outside the armory gave hundreds in the streets an opportunity to hear, if not see, the | speaker. Hamilton F. Kean, Republican can- didate for the United States Senate; Morgan F. Larson, Republican candi- date for governor, and George N. Seger, candidate for Congress in the seventh district, were the other speakers at the meeting of which John McCutcheon, vice chairman of the Republican State committee, was chairman.

PARIS CLAIMS LOAN OFFERTOPAYL.S. Proffer of $400,000,000 Is Held Sufficient to Settle With America for War Stocks. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1528. PARIS, October 25.—It is announced that France already has received several | offers of foreign loans which would en- able repayment next August of the $400,000,000 debt for war stocks to the United States. These offers are believed to have been made by American banks, either directly or through Dutch and British intermediaries. Flotation of a foreign loan for re- payment of this debt would relieve France from the financial necessity of ratifying the unpopular Mellon-Beren- ger war debt refunding agreement. It is believed that the government will nevertheless present the agreement to the Chamber of Deputies for ratifica- tion early next year, provided the com- mittee of experts reaches a general Teparations settlement with Germany, and perhaps even if no such settle- ment is reached. Meanwhile, the loan offers seem to strengthen greatly the French diplo- matic position toward both Germany and the United States.

Charging that navy yard machinists have been discriminated against in a matter of wage scales, E. C. McGregor, president, of Local 174, today asked the Navy Wage Board of Review that the | machinists at the yard be put on a wage parity with machinists employed in the Government Printing Office, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and in the repair of aMil Bags and Locks. He pointed out the navy yard ma- chinists are receiving 86 cents an hour, against $1.10 paid machinists in other branches of the Government service. McGregor told the new board which is sitting in annual session that he rep~ resents 1,502 machinists at the Wash- ington Navy Yard and about 500 others employed_at Annapolis, Indian Head. Bellevue Experimental Laboratory and the Naval Observatory. Data compiled by the committee of machinists submitted to the local yard’s wage board, he pointed out, showed that the average maximum wage for machinists_employed in_the industrial area from Rgchmond to Phil- adelphia is $1.01 per hour. lnp supporting his plea for higher wages for the navy yard employes, McGregor also pointed out that the cost of living, dating from the time of the Welch bill's provision going into effect, has risen in the District of Co- lumbia, according to Labor Department statistics, 215 per cent. This, he said, if the recommendation of the locfig wage board is approved by the ‘board of review, will lower the standard of living to approximately 7,000 whose livelihood depends upon the machinists employed in the Washington_ area. A The Navy Wage Board of Review will close its session tomorrow. It has been hearing for the past two days testimony of representatives of all the crafts em- ployed in navy yards in the United States for computation wage scales for the calendar year 1929. It will make its recommendation to the Secretary of the Navy and its scales are expected to be effective for the ensuing year. SEEKS COMPENSATION. Woman’s Suit Says Petition Was Rejected. Nannie Clayton, wife of Early Clay- ton, employe of the Potomac Electric Power Co., who died July 23 from in- juries received in his employment, to- day filed suit for a mandatory injunc- tion against R. J. Hoage, deputy com- missioner of the United States Com- pensation Commission, to compel him to revoke his rejection of the plaintift’s petition for compensation on the death of her husband, from whom she was separated. "The plaintiff tes the court that she was living apart from her husband at the time of his death, but was not di- vorced from him. On September 18, she says, the deputy commissioner heard and decided in her favor her claim for compensation, allowing her $200 for funeral expenses, $25 for attor- neys' fees and compensation of 35 per cent of $37.80, her husband's average pa; Later he recalled that finding and rejected her claim, she says, on the plea that she was not dependent on her husband at the time of the death.

NEW YORK, October 25—H. Ed- mund Machold, Republican State chairman, yesterday called upon the Democratic party to repudiate an advertisement inserted by the Demo+ cratic_county committee in yesterday's New York newspapers in which ap- peared the statement: “You can rebuke the party willing to accept the support of bigots by voting for Smith and Roosevelt.” Characterizing the advertisement as “a brazen attempt to capitalize reli- gious intolerance,” Mr. Machold asserted that through this advertisement “the Democratic county committee seeks to brand all Republicans as bigots and to win the support of Republican Catholics on the score of religious persecution.” Effort Called Scurrilous. “Every American,” he said, “will re- sent such tactics. I now call upon Gov. Smith and the Democratic party pub- licly to repudiate this scurrilous adver- tisement and to join with me to stamp out religious intolerance.” Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, chair- man of the metropolitan division of the Eastern treasurer's office of the Republican national committee, later issued a statement, in which he said that “through telegrams from indignant veterans” his attention was called to the advertisement “built around a pic- ture which will be taken by the ma- jority of people who see it as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.” Sees Memory Insulted. “If his spirit is conscious of earthly things,” Gen. Harbord said, “it must occur to him to wonder if a country is worth dying for if its public opinion will tolerate this insult to his memory, in which the leaders of a great party and its newspapers join in an attempt to capitalize his sacrifice for cheap po- litical effect. I believe that 4,000,~ 000 of veterans, without regard to party or religion, will resent this insult to their dead comrades and the appeal to prejudice, for which the advertise- ment was written.” Gen. Harbord commanded the Marine brigade at Belleau Wood and the 2d Division at Soissons in the World War. He also served for a year as chief of staff to Gen. Pershing. $10,000 DAMAGES ASKED.
