DT R¥E . BRITAIN'S TEXTILE + STRIKE CONTINUFS Both Sides Look i iiss . Bondfield for Wage Scale ‘ Settlement. By the Assoclated Press. . MANCHESTER, England, July 30.—A half million Lancashire textile strikers entered the second day of their self- imposed idleness today as firm as ever in their determination not to accept the 121; per cent reduction in their wages which the cotton mill owners imposed | last Saturday. | The mills were open, if tha “'orke:si wanted to come to work, and in some few of the mills, where the wage reduc- tion was not made immediately effective, a few thousand spinners and weavers followed their usual routine, unaffected by the strife which has developed else- Where. Contrary to the usual case in British trade disputes of such magnitude, bit- terness of feeling has not yet developed, and there was in many quarters a firm beliet the dispute would be settled amicably before it reached a more seri- ous aspect, or the stoppage in wages among the none-too-well-off workers began to be felt greatly. Dole Provided. Of the 500,000 workers who have struck all but 150,000 are union mem- bers and provided for by an unemplo7- ment wage or dole having an American | equivaient of from $192 a week for| young girls to $4.80 a week for men in the cardrooms: of from $1.64 to $6 for spinning operatives with 72 cents extra for every child in the family under 16, and of from $3.60 to $7.20 for weavers, according to the grades of their work. ‘These scales apply only to unionists. There are as many as 150,000 workers who are not union members and con- ceivably will be compelled to seek relief from the public authorities before many days. While the unionists under the fore- going unemploymenf wages of their guilds will be far from destitute, they will be far short of normal income, which, although a complicated system of piecework prevails, has been esti- mated at 47 shillings ($11.08) weekly for men and 30 shillings (8$7.20) for women. The reductions which the employers proposed to make effective would have reduced the averages to about 41 shil- lings ($9.84) for men and 27 shillings ($6.48) for women. Look to Settlement. There has been much talk since in- ception of the strike of negotiations be- tween ‘@e employers and employes look- ing to a settlement of the difficulty, but the divided condition of either camp has proved a deterrent. As far as the operatives were con- cerned, the spinners were said to be quite ready to negotiate their differ- ences with the mill owners, the card- room workers were understood to be less disposed and the weavers entirely op- posed to acceptance of any reduction, or negotiations to that end. On the other side, it appeared the em- ployers were less well organized than had been supposed, as indeed was shown by the fact some of the mills still worked at the old rates and refused to support the reduction, declaring the stoppage of work would kill important orders which they were filling. It was held generally the present La- bor government would be much more likely to find a way of settling the dis- pute than would have a government of another political complexion, and both operators and operatives looked to Miss Margaret Bondfield, minister of labor, for suggestions toward solution. MOTOR ASSOCIATION EMPLOYE GIVES BOND Suspended Sentence Given for| Driving Automobile With- out Permit. Richard Dudley Rollinson, 28 years old, 820 Connecticut avenue, advertising salesman for the American Motorist, official publication for the American Automobile Association, who was ar- rested yesterday afternoon for driving without a permit and attempting to make an unorthodox left turn, had his personal bond taken on the former count this morning when he was arraigned before Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Traffic Court, while the second count was dropped. Rollison was arrested at Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania avenue by Policeman R. C. Carter, who observed him attempting to negotiate the turn. He was booked at Traffic Bureau, and released in custody of C. P. Clark, gen- eral manager of the A. A. A. Represented by Attorney Charles Col- lins, Rollison today told the court that he had operated an automobile in Chi- cago, where the law does not require possession of a permit. He also had a California permit, but had lost it. He said he was unacquainted with the Dis- trict of Columbia laws, having driven in the city on three occasions only. He thought that the California license would obviate the necessity of his get- ting a local permit. On the recommendation of Assistant Corporation Counsel Chester A. Gray, ‘who said that he believed “justice would be served with the minimum penalty,” Judge Schuldt suspended sentence. He declared he did not believe Rollinson’s violation was intentional or serious. After his release yesterday afternoon Rollinson attempted to pass the test for a driver’s permit, but was unable to do so and was advised by C. A. Mus- man, examiner of the Traffic Bureau, that _he would have to brush up on the District regulations before he could drive here. ST A baby at Great Warley.

PROGRESS 15 SEEN IN ARMS CUT PLAN Another Conference Between British and U. S. Leaders Held in London. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 30.—The British gov- ernment believes tangible progress has been made toward accord to curtail world navies. An officlal communique issued last evening at Downing Street, office of Premier MacDonald, said: “A further conference was held at 10 Downing street today between the prime minister and the first lord of the admiralty on the one hand and Gen. Dawes and Mr. Gibson on the other. “It is understood substantial progress was made toward a naval agreement.” Conferred for Hour. ‘The conference of the American Ambassador, the British premier, Am- bassador Gibson and A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, lasted more than an hour. The communique issued at its end was the first to come from Downing Street on the subject. It was regarded as possible, although there was no confirmation, the premier would talk with the Americans again before Thursdey, when he will leave for a holiday at Lossiemouth, his Scot- tish home. ‘While there was no disposition to add to the wording of the communique at either the American Legation or Brit- ish official circles, it was believed pos- sibly the inclusion of the admiralty chief in the conversations yesterday meant the discussion had narrowed closer to the “naval yardstick” idea advanced by President Hoover as a basis for determining naval parity. Has Wider Scope. ‘There were rumors in political quar- ters that limitation of warships of all classes, mot particularly cruisers, was the aim of the conferees, and that eventually it may be found the pro- posals on which the negotiators are working may affect battleships, des- troyers and submarines even more than cruisers. ‘The London Daily Mail published a summary of the arms negotiations situation containing the assumption that an arms reduction conference would be forthcoming before the end of the year. This was said to be the hope of President Hoover, the paper, however, giving no authority for its statements. WOMAN IS HURLED INTO AIR BY BLAST Gas Tank Explosion Causes $1,000 in Property Damage at Harper Building.

IS FORECAST Maximum of 90 Is Expected by Weather Bureau, With Lower Temperature Tonight. With a maximum temperature of about 90 degrees expected by the Weather Bureau for this afternoon, as compared with 95 degrees yesterday, Washington is experiencing a slight re- lief from the torrid spell of the past few days, with prospects for a “comfort- able” night in view. The forecaster at the bureau stated that a minimum temperature some- where below 74 degrees, the minimum for last night, may be expected tonight, while the minimum for tomorrow night probably will be lower than that of tonight. ‘The temperature tomorrow is expected to be about the same as to- day’s. No rain is in sight. One heat prostration was reported at Emergency Hospital this morning, Fan- ny Harris, 36 years old, colored, 926 Snows court, having become ill due to the heat while on I street between Nine- teenth and Twentieth streets. Her con- dition was said to be not serious. John Painter, 26 years old, of Bethes- da, Md., was treated at Emergency Hos- pital yesterday afternoon after he had been overcome by heat while at the Chestnut Farms Dairy. FOREST FIRES COVER 36 SQUARE MILES | Villages in Wisconsin in Path Threatened by Flames Along Seven-Mile Front. By the Associated Press. RHINELANDER, Wis., July 30.—Both relief and apprehension were expressed today when a strong west wind abated after having driven forest fires over an area of more than 36 square miles along & seven-mile front in Forest and Oconta Counties during the last two days. With the wind down, the fire fight- ers for the first time were able to cope successfully with the conflagration, which during the night reached a point approximately six miles south of Wa- beno, Wis. At the same time they expressed fear that the lull in the wind was merely temporary and that it would shift to a new direction. If it changes to the southeast the village of Carter, with a population of 200, will be in grave danger. The fire has already leaped over one of the approaches to the town. ‘Townsend, Wis., with 119 inhabitants, also is in the path of the flames. Tele- phone communication with that point was disrupted yesterday when the fire destroyed wires to the village. RHINELANDER ANSWERS CHARGE IN $500,000 SUIT Responds to Daughter-in-Law’s Accusation of Alienating Hus- band, Who Seeks Divorce. By the Associated Press. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. July 30.— Philip Rhinelander filed his answer yes- terday to the $500,000 alienation of af- fections suit started against him three ‘weeks ago by Alice Jones Rhinelander, his daughter-in-law. ‘This is one of several court actions which grew out of the marriage of Leonard Kip Rhinelander and the daughter of a West Indian cab driver. Young Rhinelander is now in the West, where he has established residence preparatory to divorce action. He lost his suit for annulment, brought on the ground that his wife had deceived him about her color. ‘The contents of the Philip Rhine- lander answer were not made public. COOLER WEATHERIN BYRD PARTY FEELS TO-BELOW WEATHER Antarctic Explorers Shiver as Eastern U. S. Broils Under 100-Above in Sun. BY RUSSELL OWEN. By Radio to The Star and New York Times. LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, July 20.—While New York is setting a heat record we are undergoing our coldest weather so far this Winter. On Sun- day the temperature got down to 72.4 and was below 70 most of the day. What that means may be better realized if it is stated in this way: There was a difference of 166 degrees in tempera- ture beiween Little America and New York and a difference of more than 130 degrees between the temperature of our house and outdoors. Seventy-two plus below zero is cold, but as it was perfectly calm it was astonishing how little discomfort one experienced outdoors. It was desper- ately cold the day before, with a tem- perature of 66 below and a 20-mile wind blowing, and very unpleasant to- day at 45, with a 20-mile wind, but we still go outdoors and Comdr. Byrd takes his usual walks. When the temperature was 66, with a high wind, however, his eyelids froze together, so that he had to pry them open. It appears now as though the average temperature for this month will be colder than when Amund- had one astonishingly warm day, when the thermometers registered for a short time 2 degrees above zero. Amundsen's lowest temperature for the year was 74 below and it seems possible that we may find it somewhat colder than that before the Winter is gone. Comdr. Byrd has just received & mes- sage from King George of England in answer to one from Little America on the occasion of the services of thanks- ving among English people recently for the recovery of the King. English- men have done so much excellent work in the Antarctic, 50 much ploneer work, and our relations with New Zealand have been so close during the expedition that it is natural that Comdr. Byrd and other members of the expedition should among those feeling thankfulness for the King's recovery. The commander's message follows: “Little America joins with the Brit- ism Commonwealth of nations and all the world in thanksgiving for the recov- ery of your ml]eatg," ‘The reply, which was received today, says: “I am commanded by his majesty the King to thank you for your kind mes- sage on behalf of the members of your expedition. (Signed) Governor General New Zealand.” (Copyright, 1920. by the New York and the St. Louis Post-Dispate Rights for Publication Througout the Wor] PILOTS OF ROBIN IGNORE SPONSORS’ ORDERS TO LAND (Continued From First Page.) Times Co. n. Al eserved 1d word that the fiyers were about to land tpread rapidly.

Robin Circles Low. ‘While all this activity was taking place Jackson, at the controls of the Robin, circled low and one swoop barely ! missed a movie camera man standing on top of a truck. Then some one read a second mes- sage in a tube that had been dropped. i It read: “Don't forget to read on the bottom of the first one. We are going to land sometime. Ha! Ha!" Wassall looked more closely at the first message and saw the word “some- time" written in a fold in the paper. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and his wife stopped at Lambert-St. Louis Fleld 40 minutes today to congratulate Jack- son and O'Brine. The Lindbergh’s were flying from Santa Fe, N. Mex,, to New York City. “We just dropped in to congratulate the boys,” Col. Lindbergh said, leaning from the open window of his cabin plane. “It's a wonderful thing they're doing. I'm glad we got here while they were still up.” They left at 11:05 a.m. Before leaving the field the Lind- berghs flew alongside the endurance plane and rocked their wings in greet- ings. Col. Lindbergh said the motor of the endurance plane “sounded fine.” The famous flyer cut the motor of his own plane and dived before landing, in or- der to better hear the beat of the other engine. During his brief visit Col. Lindbergh met the wives of the endurance flyers and Jackson's mother, Mrs. Henry Jackson of Farribault, Minn. Eearnings of the flyers were past the $18,000 mark today. The Robin's rec- ord aggregates more than the combined total of the most recent endurance flights, that of the Angeleno and of the first of 1920, the Question Mark. In a note dropped late yesterday or- dering the night's gasoline supply. O'Brine told of a “crap game"—,500 feet, and revealed the optimism of the pilots was undimmed. It read: » see a nice crowd waiting down be- low for us to land. Well, we are sure sorry, but as far as we know, we will be up here this time next week, so tell them to go home and we will notify them when we get ready to land. “Red has gone into the wood-cutting business, I believe. It sounds like a bucksaw. He just had a nightmare and when he woke up he was singing ‘I wonder what's become of Sally, that old gal of mine’ (Jackson's wife is named Sally.) “We had a crap game up here this morning and I broke him, I got both nickels. We have been flying at 6,500 feet. We sure find it nice up here. It's so smooth.” Learn of Lambert Crash.

For all practical purposes, the new $20,000,000 co-operative marketing agency to be created by the Federal Farm Board, to deal with wheat, will be a stabilization body, but without au- thority to actually deal in stabilization operations of buying. selling, merchan- dizing and processing wheat for its effect upon prices. Information made public by the Farm Board yesterday disclosed that while the new agency will be provided with all the facilities to conduct stabilization operations on the open market, it must first obtain the board’s formal approval before stabilization provisions of the farm relief act may be employed. ‘The hope of the board is that the stabilization provisions will never have to be employed and that the corpora- tion, by a process of orderly buying and selling of wheat from and for its mem- bers under the jurisdiction of the board, will do all that actual stabilization operations might perform. ‘The board’s announcement was held by farm leaders in Washington to be in keeping with the apparent policy of the board to use its influence toward strengthening the co-operative market- ing system and not to use the money made available under the farm relief act until other methods have proved in- sufficient to deal with the situation. In creating the marketing corporation the board is endeavoring to provide the foundation of an organization which in time may function as a private dustry without Government aid. Board officials said that in the beginning, the corporation will be supervised by the board and will obtain a large share of its financial assistance from the huge revolving fund provided the board by Congress for agricultural assistance. Later they hope this supervision and financial help may be withdrawn. BAND CONCERTS. By the United States Soldiers’ Home Military Band, John 8. M.

These recommenda- tions in the Interdepartmental Pay: Board are in response to repeated de- | mands in Congress that the various de- partments affected get together and whip into shape a pay schedule which Congress could use as the basis for legislation. ‘The report was made to the various Secretaries of the departments inter- ested. . ‘The board was convened early in April, 1929, by agreement among the several departments to investigate the effect of existing pay laws and notably the joint service pay act of 1922, which, however, was not general pay legisla- tion, upon the six services covered by the latter. Three officers of the Army, two each of the Navy, Public Health Service and Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey and one each from the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard made up the board. Extensive investigations and discus- sions have been conducted by the board for more than two months and the re- port submitted represents a compro- mise. ‘The report contains an exhaustive survey of the history of previous pay legislation, governing principles upon which pay legislation should be based, the summary of the act of 1922 and the effects of the act of 1922 on the service. The report said that the pay sched- ule of 1908 “has been taken as a basis because of the fact that it was enacted | of prospective jurors while after careful consideration by Congress of the then existing and prospective economic conditions, and in its results appeared to be adequate and satisfac- tory to the services until the disturbed c conditions brought about by the World War.” The board pointed out that the dol- :;rdof 1908 “has shrunk to 49 cents ay.” ‘The members of the board follow: Admiral McNamee, chairman; Brig.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30.—The physical condition of Dr. James H.

Once he interrupted the examination he was taken to an antercom for medicine to relieve a severe pain in his back, and the court extended the regular morning recess to 20 minutes in order to let him go to the sheriff’s office, where he rallied from the strain of the courtroom. John F. Seidel, one of the former Ohio State professor’s attorneys, said that the natural reaction from the spinal examination such as Dr. Snook underwent may be expected to continue about a week, adding that “there is no “Don't believe that Dr. Snook fis feigning th's illness,” Seidel said, “for it s the real thing.

Normally, the largest populated and heaviest guarded, this penitentiary on the Hudson River had mounted a dozen machine guns on Its walls and 168 armed keepers were ordered to give no quarter in case of trouble. These precautions were ordered as & result of the revolt of the convicts at Clinton Prison at Dannemora a week ago, and the attempted delivery of 1,700 inmates at Auburn Prison yes- terday.

This was the first report authorities had received on any of the fugitives. Oneonta is about 100 miles southeast of Auburn. Photographs of the fugitives were shown Mrs. Hungerford by State troop- ers and she identified two of them as the men who surprised her while she ‘was preparing & meal in her kitchen. She said she ran to a nearby farm to summon help. When she returned with several men the fugitives had fled. The State police would not make public the names of the men Mrs. Hun- gerford had identified, but readily ad- mitted they were two of the conviets who gained their liberty in the first rush for the Prison gate.
