EFFORT T0 SETTLE STRIKE DUE TODAY I:Iead of Firm Operatiny Alexandria Plant to Meet U. S. Aide. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 30.—Mor- ris Weinman, president of the Century Manufacturing Co., informed Howard T, Colvin, Labor Department concilia~ tion commissioner, this morning that he would meet him at the Labor Department at 2 p.m. today to discuss the strike that has been under way at the company’s Alexandria shirt plant for several weeks. Colvin will ask’ the company head to meet with a committee represent- ing the approximately 100 girl em- ployes on strike in an attempt to settle the issue, a recent 10 per cent cut in wages. 1t is possible that the meeting with the strikers’ committee, if agreed to by Weinman, will be held later today. Union Drafts Charges. Meanwhile, A. B. Gordon, vice presi- dent of the United Garment Workers’ Union, who has been here for several days, announced he is ready to pre- sent the case to the National Labor Relations Board as a violation of the new Wagner law if officlals of the company refuse to meet with repre- sentatives of the employes. Following a heated controversy be- tween Mayor E. C. Davison and Weinman over the question of police rotection for company's trucks sent ere to carry away goods from the plant, the company head told Mayor Davison yesterday afternoon that he ‘would not meet either the Strikers’ Committee or Commissioner Colvin. The controversy took place at a meeting of Weinman, his son, Sidney Weinman, who has operated the Alex- andria factory; Mayor Davison and City Manager E. C. Dunn in the lat- ter's office at City Hall. Afterward the son climbed in the driver's seat of a company truck to operate the vehicle while the first load of goods was moved from the plant. A handful of strikers on picket | duty and several police looked on. Drivers Refuse. Previous attempts to move mer- chandise from the factory had failed because the truck drivers, all union men, refused to operate their vehicles | when informed by picket guards that | a strike was on at the plant.

LA GUARDIA HOLDS 10K CASE” VIEWS Decline to Enter New Con- troversy to Aid U. S. Chorus Girls. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 30.—While re- verberations from the celebrated “laffaire Kress” showed no signs of diminishing, Mayor Fiorello La Guar- dia gingerly steered clear today of further international complications in refusing the suggestion of coming to the aid of Broadway' chorus girls ruled out of England. “Don’t you think I'm in sufficient international complications now?” he asked, referring to his refusal to issue a city license to a German immigrant. “Anyway, we barred the countess some time ago—maybe this evens it up,” he added, referring apparently to Vera, Countess Cathcart, whose en- try to the United States was held up here because of alleged “moral tur- pitude.” ‘The further inquiries, somewhat fa- cetious, over reported discriminations against American creditors in Man- chuokuo, he replied: “Pirst, I'll see how far the State Department backs me up this time, but I am always ready to co-operate with the State Department.” ‘The mayor indicated no disposition to reverse his stand against the German alien he refused to license as & masseur, on grounds the Ger- man-American commercial reciprocity treaty of 1925 had been violated by Germany in alleged persecution of Jewish-American citizens. “L'affaire Kress” took its name when the mayor disclosed the hitherto unidentified German license appli- cant was Paul W. Kress. Purther than making known the name of the mysterious “Mr. K,” the mayor would not emplify. CONTRACT AWARDED Piping to Be Installed at Sewage Disposal Plant.

Similarly, the burgomaster of Qued- linburg decreed that Jews may not enter local museums or cathedrals. As this ban is directed against all Jews, even those of foreign nation- slity, the decree flies in the face of federal orders to treat foreigners | courteously. Prayer for Church Freedom. Cardinal Bertram issued orders to the churches in his diocese to have the following prayer said after each mass: “Let us pray for the peace and freedom of our whole church, espe- cially within our Fatherland.” The Nazis put out & police com- munique from Recklinghausen which said that 10 lay brothers of the con- gregation of “the Brothers of Mercy” had been arrested at Maria Linden- hof, a home for feeble-minded and epileptic boys, on charges of immoral practices. The communique inti- mated that four additional institu- tions of the congregation will be simi- larly charged with immoral practices.

Reich to put the brake on ultra- mmfiuu Fundamentally the Nasl policy is directed at eliminating Jews alto- gether from Germany and smashing political Catholicism as well as every other form df political opposition. in danger, Hitier and other leaders attempt to curb the sphere of action of the less responsible subleaders. Leaders Seek Curb. Paying heed to foreign opinion, Nazi leaders slackened their campaign against “state enemies” and turned their attention instead to communism —especially in the United States. A high source said leaders, in coun- cil with Reichsfuehrer Hitler, decided to curb ultra-radical activities against Jews, ‘“political Catholicism” and other “menaces” because of the reac- tion abroad to the drive. The press, apparently prompted by the propaganda ministry, advised im- mediately and unanimously that other nations should clean their own houses before paying so much attention to the Reich. Hitler's own newspaper, the Voel- kischer Beobachter, carried the liner Bremen at New York Friday ‘Two photographs of strikers clash- ing at Sioux Palls, 8. Dak., were dis- played on the front page, and another of a Negro lynching at Fort Lauder- dale, Fla,, on an inside page. PRAYERS FOR GERMANY ASKED BY CHURCH HEAD Dr. Ivan Lee Holt Deplores “Bar- baric Treatment of Jews and Christians.” By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, July 30.—Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, president of the Federal Council of Churches, today deplored “the bar- baric trestment of Jews and Chrise tians in Germany.” “Let us in America pray, write to our Protestant friends in Germany and work with Teal concern lest re- ligion be crushed in a land which has given so much religious inspira- tion,” Dr. Holt sald in a formal statement. “I feel that T am voicing the con. viction of all Protestant Christians in the United States when I deplore the barbaric treatment of Jews and Christians in Germany,” he said. “The Roman Catholics seem to be suffering just now worse than the Protestants, but in the whole move- ment “directed sgainst Germans of other faiths than mine I find such a tendency to paganism as to make me wonder whether the reports I read from Germany can be true.” Fire Destroys Half of Town.
