His program for national re- covery bulwarked by an appeal from spokesmen of capital and labor for industrial peace, Hugh S. Johnson yesterday swung back to the job of bringing all indus- tries under wage and hour regula- tions. The hard-working administra- | tor returned tired and worn from the Summer White House in New York, where he received President Roosevelt’s approval of the im- mediate plan for settling the Pennsylvania coal strike and the long-range proposition of prevent- 1ng labor troubles through friendly co-operation of capital and em- ployes. Four more industries, including meat packing, employing nearly 150,000 workers, were authorized by Johnson to put into effect im- mediately their own codes for raising wages and shortening | hours of work. | To this growing list of proposed codes were added those of the electric light and power and gas industries. Both sought tempo- rary effectiveness of their wage and hour provisions. Denies Later Changes. In another direct effort to remove obstacles from the path of employers wishing to sign President Roosevelt’s blanket agreement to increase purchas- ing power, Johnson issued a formal statement challenging interpretations which he said had been heard over the country that the Chief Executive might exercise his power to cancel or ‘modify any order or approval and thereby change the terms of the agreement. “In the first place,” the administrator said, “I question the validity of this interpretation of the N. I. R. A, ‘The right to cancel or modify his own ac- tion does not imply any grant of power to the President to change the obliga- tion entered into by a person who has signed an agreement with the Presi- dent. “Certainly it is unthinkable that the President would ask employers to sign | agreements reserving to himself the power to rewrite the agreement and then hold the other party bound by an obligation he never assumed. Finds Theory Surprising. “Indeed it is surprising to think that any one should impute any such in-| tention to the President.” Taking precedence, however, over all other developments, was the appeal to spokesmen of business and their em- ployes not to precipitate strikes during the economic emergency, described by Johnson as “the most significant thing that has happened yet in this move- ment,” the joint statement, in the words of President Roosevelt, “proposes | the creation of a distinguished tribunal to pass promptly on any case of hard- ship or dispute that may arise from in- terpretation or application of the President’s re-employment agreement.” “The advantages of this recom- mendation are plain, and I accept it and hereby sppoint the men it pro- posed, whose names will carry their own commendation to the country,” the President said. At the head of this tribunal was placed Senator Wagner, the New York Democrat, who has made a long study of industrial affairs. Sitting with him will be William Green, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor; Dr. Leo Wolman, for- mer Columbia University professor and chairman of the Recovery Administra- tion’s Labor Advisory Committee; John L. Lewis, president of the Mine Work- ers’ Union: Walter C. Teagle, chairman of the administration’s Industrial Ad- visory Board; Gerard Swope, a New York manufacturer, and Louis E.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Work- ers of America, made no comment when informed tonight of the vote by some locals in western Pennsyl- vania not to return to work Mon- day. By the Associated Press. UNIONTOWN, Pa., August 5.—Turn- ing a deaf ear to the counsel of their leaders, officers of district No. 4 local of the United Mine Workers of America in the heart of the coal strike area, to- night voted 123 to 4 against returning to work Monday. Called together by District President ‘william Feeny at 7:45 p.m., to approve terms of the truce approved in Wash- ington last night, the men emcrged from a stormy meeting shortly before midnight with the following announce- ment: “We notified the President that we are undecided what action to take at this time and that we have postponed action until Friday at 7:30 p.m. Disregarding this action, a spokesman for the H. C. Frick Coke Co. largest operator of mines in the trouble zone, announced that 10 of its mines will re- sume operations Monday as planned. A hurried call for meetings of the various locals was sent out for tomor- row, at which time they Will decide on their own individual course and this will be presented at Friday’s meeting of local officers. Martin Ryan, president of Colonial No. 3 Local, leader of the opposition to the truce, said: “There is something about this agreement that we do not understand. I have a large group of men in my local and I have nothing that I can explain to them.” Another leader added: “If I had voted for something that I couldn't explain, I would have been killed when I re- turned to my men.” Other officers said they will await discussion of the agree- ment with their locals until they re- ceive further details regarding the pro- visions. Feeney declined to comment on the overthrow of union leadership. Meanwhile arrangements were made for a secret meeting tomorrow at which time, officers said, plans will be dis- cussed to prevent the re-opening of any of the closed mines in the district where union officials say 20,000 men are normally employed. Announcement of the decision “not to go back” spread swiftly throughout the region but the news was received without demonstration. President Sees Trade Rule Ending. HAILS HARMONY AS GREAT STEP Desires Industry to Take Back Own Fate. By the Associated Press. HYDE PARK, N. Y., August 5— President Roosevelt today put a national tribunal of- seven men over the troubles of industry and labor to preserve peace for the remainder of the recovery cam- palgn. The history-making move was prompted by a voluntary shaking of hands by employers and em- ployes for national welfare. The President described it as momen- tous. and pursued the unusual course as a medium for the dura- tion of the recovery drive. Looking ahead to the future, he made it plain tonight that he does not want a permanent Gov- ernment management of industry. He will leave it to time and de- velopment to determine the method of future control and the limit to which it will go. He is going to watch the way business men and their employes behave meantime. Board May Continue. The national tribunal of seven men, | headed by Senator Wagner, Democrat, | New York, legislative labor authority, will serve during the critical stage of the recovery drive. It may continue as & central body or eventually there may | be established arbitration boards for each industry. | Mr. Roosevelt does not want any! conflicts over interpretation of the | newly made industrial codes while the Nation is fighting its way up. To this end, he expects the tribunal of repre- sentatives of management and labor to preserve complete peace in the trying days of reorganization. He regards it all as new and, like any other law or innovation, he wants the movement to test itself out. Hi feels the great danger is in misinter- pretation of the new codes for industry and he has named the tribunal %o adjust any difficulties in this direction. It was macde plain here, however, that both Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, the industrial administrator, who brought the peace campaign here, and the | President want to avoid Government management of industry and to return eventually to industry the responsibility of its management. Complaints Dismissed. Backing up to the limit the National Recovery Administration, Mr. Roose- velt today also signed dismissals of complaints by three organizations which asked for exceptions from the cotton textile code. All units of the trade must go along together, he ruled. The proposal, which came volun- tarily from the advisory boards of the National Recovery Administration, was brought here in a dramatic night air- plane trip by Hugh S. Johnson, the industrial administrator. “Of importance to the recovery pro- gram is the appeal to management and labor for industrial peace, which has just been sent to me for approval,” sald Mr. Roosevelt in a statement an- nouncing appointment of the tribunal headed by Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York. “With compelling logic, it calls upon every individual in both groups to avoid strikes, lockouts or any aggressive action during the recovery program. Commends Move to Nation. “It is a document on a par with Sam- uel Gompers’ memorable war-time de- mand to preserve status quo in labor disputes—and in addition to the signa- ture of the President of the American Federation of Labor it carries the signa- ture of every great labor leader and every great industrial leader on the two advisory boards of the Recovery Admin- istration. It is an act of economic statesmanship. I earnestly commend it to_the public conscience.” ‘The action for a national mo- ratorium on strikes followed quickly an agreement won by Mr. Roosevelt through Gen. Johnson’s ending ol the Pennsylvania coal strike. With these 70,000 striking miners again in the pits, the administration believed that the welfare of 200,000 re- lated workers had been saved and as- surance given to keep the smoke going out of the chimneys of the newly working factories of the country. CHEATING ON THE BLUE EAGLE GETS ACTION FROM UNCLE SAM By the Associated Press. The Industrial Administration is con- templating strict action against what it considers “cheating on the Blue Eagle” by certain retail stores which have been reported here as opening later and closing earlier to avoid hiring new em- ployes. From within the administration yes- terday it was disclosed that an effort was afoot to have Hugh S. Johnson, the administrator, issue a statement within the next day or so publicly flaying retailers who have knowingly dodged the provisions of the code now temporarily in effect. In another quarter, Gen. Thomas 8. Hammond, director of the President’s re-employnient, or blanket code, agree- ment, said emphatically that investiga- tions would be made and that “if we find any one hitting below the belt, the Blue Eagle will come down from tleir swée fmnt.‘;‘ told he did ammon newspapginen he ' not know of any detailed complaints against a specific store. He indicated, however, reports had come to the ad- ministration of individual retail mer- chants failing to observe the proviso of the temporary retail code that stores remain open at least 52 hours a week, while all workers except executives or managets receiving more than $35 a week, be placed on a 40-hour week. From still ancther official of the ad- ministration, it was ascertained defi- nitely that such a volume of complaints of shorter operating hours by stores had been ‘received that concern was felt that the code would lose a sizable por- tion of its re-employment effectiveness. Hearings on a ent code for the retailers have set for August 15, but this same official said it was considered necessary to correct the practice of shortening store hours even during the present life of the tempo- rary code.

By the Assoclated Press.,, CHICAGO, August 5.— Undiscour- aged by the spectacular anticlimax to his balloon ascension, Lieut. Comdr. T. G. W. Settle today declared he was “eager for another go at it.” “It” was a reference to the strato- sphere, the far-off goal toward which he soared for a brief 20 minutes early this morning, the fond hopes of- the scientific world lifting with him. Massed thousands cheered as his huge balicon took off from the arena of Soldier Field and wafted like a sil- ver globule over the city. Their cheers became gasps of anxiety when the bag, etched against the sky at the apex of searchlight shafts, barely missed the cluster of skyscrapers over the “Loop” and disappeared. Slightly more than a mile from his starting point, in a railroad yard, the stratosphere expedition ended, a stuck gas valve responsible for the failure. Settle Is Uninjured. Comdr. Settle, who was not injured, slept through the forenoon and got up with the determination to try it again. “I want another go at it,” he said. “If the backers of the flight can agree, I hope to attempt another ascent be- fore the season is over.” Neither the balloon nor delicate in- struments for recording cosmic rays in the gondola had been injured by the forced 'anding, he said. Most of the organizations which 'fi::' sored the project declared their willing- ness to_co-operate in another flight. Comdr.

The first batch of certificates will number only 18,000, and their denomi- nations range from $50 to $5,000. The corporation, it was said, will rot at- tempt to push any large part of its $2,000,000,000 of bonds on the market at one time to avoid competing with the Treasury in the financing of its op- erations.

Six strikers were wounded. four of | them gravely, in a clash with police this afternoon in the nearby town of Regla.

One Fatally Wounded. An unidentified Negro was fatally in- jured in the clash here and a striker was wounded by a pistol shot. Owing to a police ban on meetings, further organization of the strike move- ment went forward in secret under di- Tection of a central committee, with headquarters in suburban Cerro. Secretary of the Interior Zubizaretta declared he did not believe suspension of constitutional guaranties was neces- sary at the present time to force an end of the strikes. President Machado had issued a decree yesterday threaten- ing such suspension and martial law to bring the movement to a quick close. “The omnibus, street car and other strikes have been practically settled since all workers' requests have been granted, but Communistic and other disturbing elements are seeking to maintain the strikes,” said Zubizaretta. Go on 72-Hour Strike. Meanwhile, chauffeurs and street car men in Camaguey decided to go on a 72-hour strike. Taxi and omnibus drivers in Havana, seeking lower operat- ing fees and increased income, were the first groups to strike. A commis- sion was sent to Florida, Ciego de Avila and other cities seeking co-operation in the movement. ‘The Federation of Physicians in Camaguey offered to aid the strikers. ‘The military superviser sent a supply of firearms to the police headquarters, but the city was quiet. The secretary of the interior said the strike in Ma- tanzas has terminated. ‘Truck drivers, messenger boys and to- bacco workers joined more than 24,000 other persons in strikes, including bakers, laundry workers, newspaper re- porters and printers, meat dealers, dairymen and gasoline dealers.

Rescuers from Tribune reached the Miller home in boats. Mrs. Miller and her husband were taken aboard two boats by Emmons, Carl Kelly and Prancis Strickland. Strickland’s boat landed with Mrs. Miller, but Emmons’ capsized. Miller and Kelly were dragged into Strick- land’s craft, but Emmons sank in the flood waters.

UNDER RECOVERY ACT Only One Independent Group Will' Join—Individual Drivers to Continue Unregulated. Already facing a serious financial crisis, Washington's two street railway companies, it was learned yesterday, are planning to adopt the industrial re- covery code, despite fears that it may spell bankruptey. With the exception of one group of independents, the taxicabs, which, through unregulated competition have cut heavily into revenue of the car companies in the last few years, have not made any gesture toward joining the recovery parade. The result, of course, appears disas- trous to the traction lines, unless, in the spirit of “blue eagle” patriotism, the public turns back to the cars for mass transportation—a proposition that the realists do not seem to entertain seri- ously under present conditions. ‘The car companies, after some care- ful figuring, found that application of the recovery code's 40-hour week to the men who run the cars, as well as the clerical and labor forces, will cost them an additional $700,000 & i‘esr, with no promise of a return on this heavy in- vestment. The Washington Railway & Electric Co. estimated its added outlay for salaries would total $400,000 a year. ‘The Capital Traction Co.’s figure is| $100,000 less. Sum Makes 'Big Difference. Back in the days of war-time pros- perity, the car companies would not have worried about such an additional expense. But the story is different now. A sum of $700,000 is the difference be- tween life and possible disaster. Steadily since the war the revenues of the car lines have declined, and the ever-increasing humber of low-rate taxicabs has just about killed all hope of a change for the better. Last year the Washington Railway & Electric earned only $35,000, exclusive of the dividend from its profitable child, the Potomac Electric Power Co. An increase of $400,000 in its expenses will leave the interest on its bonds protected and virtually nothing else, if operating rev- enue shows no further marked decline. The situatjon is slightly different with the Cabital Traction, which is suffering a little more financial pain from falling revenues. This company earned $57,000 last year, and paid out $364,000 in interest on bonds. Its loss in operating revenue was $300,000 under the preceding vear. A similar loss in 1933, coupled with an additional $300, 000 expense to meet wages under th | code, cannot mean anything but finan- cial ruination. Merger Expected to Help. Consummation of the merger, on committees of the two companies, is expected to alleviate the serious condi- tion confronting the street railway com- panies, and yet there is no assurance that it will pull them out of the finan- cial rut. The operating economies that will come through a consolidaion will save some money, but not enough to off- set the steady loss if revenue and the $700,000 to be added to the pay roll un- der _the code. The hope of the companies is that the public may boycott the taxicabs that do not dtsph{ the blue eagle and re- turn to the old custom of riding str-et (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.) FIVE MEN KILLED IN KENTUCKY VOTE Six Wounded in Ballot Rows. Another Slaying Laid to 1932 Election. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky. August 5—Five men were shot to death and six wounded in fights attributed to the primary election in Kentucky today, and another was killed in what was believed to be an aftermath of a row during the last November election. Four companies of National Guards- men were on duty in Harlan County, where two men were shot prior to elec- tion day rows over ballot boxes and election posters. A fight in which rifles, machine guns and dynamite were used occurred there Saturday morning, but no casualties were reported. The six wounded also were in Harlan County. The dead there were Robert Roark, 35, and Joe Lee, 44, and one of the wounded was Theodore Middleton, a candidate for the Republican nomina- tion for sheriff. Two shootings occurred in isolated sections of Clay County, Gilbert Buttry, 25, being killed at Foggertown precinct, and Estill Spurlock, 25, being killed at Oneida precinct. In Breathitt County Brown Strong, about 50, was shot to death at Whick, and Harlan Centers, 50, was probably fatally wounded at Hampton. The other victim was Tom Shelton, who died at Pineville of wounds suf- fered Friday in a row that was believed to have been an aftermath of trouble over the Bell County election last No- vember. Intense interest in county elections as well as the legislative races and fair ‘weather brought out a heavy vote in nearly all counties. Tabulation under Kentucky law starts Monday.
