It will apply to the Authority’s 17,- 000 employers throughout the Tennes- see Valley. The policy was formulated affer nearly a year of study and discussion with employes and their representa- tives. The American Federation of Labor, the American Federation of Government Employes and more than | [ & dozen other labor organizations were represented in an advisory capacity. Rights to Organize Recognized. Principal provisions of the policy are: “For the purposes of collective bar- gaining and employe-management co- operation, employes of the Authority shall have the right to organize and designate representatives of their own choosing. In the exercise of this right they shall be free from any and all gestraint * * * “There shall be no discrimination egainst employes * * * because of membership in any association of em- ployes.

He commented in an interview when asked what he thought of the possi- bility of the former New York Gov- ernor seeking the nomination. Raskob asserted there was no foundation for a published report that he might run against United States Senator P. A. McCarran in Nevada in | 1938. “In the first place, I am not a resi- dent of Nevada and have no intention of moving here,” he said, “as I have a very comfortable home and a lot of relatives in the East.” Raskob came here to attend a meet- ing of stockholders and directors of the Consolidated Virginia Mining Co.

AN AMATEUR bird fancier in the 2300 block of Nineteenth street northwest had been missing a squab or two regularly for several weeks.

He couldn't set traps, for he was afraid he would only catch his own birds; neither did he know what sort of traps to set. He watched the |cote at all hours he was free to do s0, but never saw any marauders. The other morning, a little after §, a lodger in the house next door hap- pened to be up. Glancing out the window, he saw an object moving near the cote. Knowing the owner’s trouble, the lodger 'phoned him. Together they stole stealthily out upon the lodger’s back roof. Against the dazzling whitewashed of the entrance to the cote, something was visible—but 5 barely so. Finally, whatever it was crept away from the front of the | cote and leftward toward a clutter- ing of boards and boxes.

But, the Secretary added, “when in ifs reply the Soviet government indicated an intention en, tirely to disregard its promise to “pre- vent” such activities as those com- plained of, it struck a severe blow at the fabric of friendly relations be- tween the two countries.” Unlike Democratic Government, the Soviet government cannot disclaim its obligation to preevnt activities on its territory on the ground of its in- ability to carry out its pledge, for, Mr. Hull points out, “its authority within its territorial limits is supreme and its power to control the acts and utter- ances of organizations and individuals within those limits is absolute.” 'MOSCOW GETS NOTE.

August 31.—Bench | warrants were issued today for the arrest of four Chicagoans charged | with a $350,000 stock swindle in a Federal court indictment, the airst returned under the securities »nd exchange act. The indictment named Joseph | Mendelson, Leonard I. Sutterman, Joseph Sherman, John J. Burke and | the John J. Burke Co. of Chicago. The men were charged with con- spiring to sell approximately 150.000 | shares of Stutz Motor common stock to the public from last January 2 to April 10, although only 134,000 shares were outstanding and listed on the New York Curb Exchange. John J. Flynn, trial counsel for the 8. E. C. declared that the Chi- | cagoans had madesa total estimated | profit of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,00 | in the last two years through the Stutz transactions and other deals not cited in the indictment. The indictment charged that Sut- terman, acting for the Burke com- pany, obtained an option for the purchase of 41,000 shares of the Stutz stock from Charles M. Schwab | before the stock was issued. Thus, it was alleged, the defend- | ants could control those shares. With actual delivery of the stock avoided, | the Stutz stock was “pegged at $3.50 a share” and then driven down to $1.25, wiping out marginal investors, the indictment recited. Most of the stock sold in this manner was distributed in Minne- apolis, Chicago, Atlanta and Phila- | delphia, Plynn uld. HUSBAND KILLS MAN FOR DATE WITH WIFE| By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 31.—A young wife’s date with another man ended death, and Robert Richards, 34, the husband, held for Larson's street- corner slaying. Police Lieut.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 31.—Con- fronted with increasing resentment against the Works Progress Adminis- tration’s ‘“security wage,” Adminis- trator Hugh 8. Johnson extended an olive branch toward labor unions to- day in the form of a 10 per cent in- crease. Effective tomorrow, Gen. Johnson announced, unskilled work- ers will receive $60.50 a month instead of $55. Union leaders continued their plans, however, for a mass demonstration and parade next week calling for en- forcement of the prevailing scale on W. P. A. jobs. In addition, they planned to seek from President Roose- velt a special order exempting New York City from the security wage pro- visions of W. P. A, Police were called to Floyd Bennett Fleld late this afternoon to preserve order during a demonstration of 250 ‘W. P. A, workers who had besieged the paymaster’s office. Checks were late, but arrived soon afterward, and the men dispersed as soon as they were paid. First announcement of the wage in- crease was made by Gen. Johnson in a radio speech last night, shortly be- fore Senator Huey P. Long went on the air to demand that the Govern- ment recognize union pay standards. “Men fainted at work because there was not enough in their stomachs on which to survive,” the Louisiana Sen- ator said. Apparently with the aim of further pacifying restless W. P. A. workers, Mayor F. H. La Guardia announced that the $13 stop-gap checks handed out to workers whose pay had been delayed would not be deducted from their salaries. An order directing de- duction was revoked before it went into effect, he said. Although their checks were not due until after Labor day, approximately periods ended August 21-23. As the first month of the Govern- ment’s huge re-employment program ended, Gen. Johnson announced that 25,700 persons had been transferred from the dole to W. P. A, jobs in New York City.

Note to Russia Secretary of State Calls Soviet Government’s Atten- tion to Plain Language of Pact and Exacts Responsibility. in efforts or movements directed towards the overthrow of our in- stitutions. The representative of the Soviet government declared in writing that “coincident with the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two Governments it will be the fixed policy of the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics: * * * 4. Not to permit the formation or residence on its territory of any organization or group—and to pre- vent the activity on its territory of any organization or group, or of representative or officials of any organization or group— which has as an aim the overthrow or the preparation for the overthrow of or the bringing about by force of a change in, the political or social order of the whole qr any nart of the United States, its territorles or possessions.” Covers Communist International. ‘The langusge of the above- quoted paragraph irrefutably cov- ers activities of the Communist International, which was then, and still is, the outstanding world Communist organization, with headquarters at Moscow. In its reply of August 27, 1935, to this Government's note of August 25, 1935. the Soviet gov- ernment almost in so many words repudiates the pledge which it gave at the time of recognition that “it will be the fixed policy of the government of the Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics * * * not to permit * * * and to pre- vent” the very activities against which this Government has com- plained and protested. Not for a moment denying or questioning the fact of Communist Interna- tional activities on Soviet territory involving interference in the in- ternal affairs of the United States, the Soviet government denies hav- ing made any promise “not to permit * * * and to prevent” such activities of that organization on Soviet territory, asserting that it has not taken upon itself obliga- tions of any kind with regard to the Communist International.” That the language of the pledge, as set out above, is absolutely clear and in no way ambiguous and that there has been a clean-cut disregard and disavowal of the pledge by the Soviet government is obvious. ‘The American Government, hav- ing previously made oral com- plaints of faflure by the Soviet government to carry out its pledge In connection with the protest lodged by Ambassador Bullitt against the violation by the Soviet government of its pledge of Novem- ber 16, 1933, with regard to monm- interference in the internal affairs of the United States and the reply of the Soviet government thereto, the Secretary of State yesterday made the following statement: The recent note of this Gov- ernment to the government of the Soviet Union and the reply of that government raises the issue whether that government. in disregard of an express agreement entered into at the time of recognition in 1933, will permit organizations or groups operating on its territory to plaa and direct movements contem- plating the overthrow of the politi- cal or social order of. the United States. For 16 years this Govern- ment withheld recognition—as did many other governments—mainly for the xeason that the Soviet government had failed to respect the right of this Nation to main- tain its own political and social order without interference by or- ganizations conducting in or from Soviet territory activities directed against our institutions. United States Desire For Friendship. In 1933 this Government, ob- serving the serious effects upon peace and prosperity of the many partial or dislocated international relationships throughout the world, took up anew the question whether the United States and the Soviet Union, two of the largest nations, could not find a way to establish more natural and normal relations, which would afford a basis for genuine friendship and collabora- tion to promote peace and im- prove material conditions both at home and abroad. After various stipulations in writing had first been carefully drafted and agreed upon by representatives of the two Governments, recognition was ac- corded to the government of the Soviet Union by this Government, in November, 1933. "One of the most impartent provisions of the agreement thus reached was the pledge of the Soviet government to respect the right of the United States “to order its own life with- in its own jurisdiction in its own way and to refrain from interfer- ing in any manner in the internal affairs of the United States, its territories or possessions.” The essence of this pledge was the obligation assumed by the Soviet government not to permit persons or groups on its territory to engage ——GooD MusiC AT COLLEGE STUDENT AID J0BS OUTLINED 564 of Total of 930 Are As- signed to F. E. R. A. Work Projects. ‘What work college students perform here in return for financial aid granted by the Federal Emergency Re- lief Administration is illustrated in & survey released yesterday by Elwood Street, District welfare director. There were 930 students receiving such aid at a recent count and of these 564 were assigned to a variety of work projects, according to informa- tion compiled by Denton H. Reed, ad- ministrative assistant to Relief Busi- ness Manager Otto Cass. Some students at Gallaudet College were performing social work among the resident deaf. Howard University and other college students were con- ducting special classes in recreation and educational character with groups of boys and girls from welfare insti- tutions. Some 35 students were assigned to act as guards at the District Public Library, to see that books taken out were properly checked. One student was assigned to studies of the best dis- infectants for cleansing of sponges at the Bureau of Pisheries. Others were at work with the Metropolitan Police Force compiling statistics concerning the population at the House of De- tention. Still others were assigned to work with the National Parks Association in | acquainting District residents with | poskibilities of the recreational, edu- cational and scientific purposes of the national parks system, it was stated. Many others were enlisted in work in connection with the work of schools of music, medical courses, sociology, history, physics, compiling of records for physical education departments, making surveys of community groups, preparing chemical laboratory speci- mens and conducting other educational research projects. and being deeply concerned over the growing instability of inter- national relations and the dan- gerous consequences thereof to peace and economic recovery, sought most earnestly in its note of August 25 to impress upon the Soviet government the sanctity of its pledge to the end that there might be between the two nations continued development of friendly and official relations and valu- eble collaboration in many bene- ficial ways. When in its reply the Soviet government indicated an intention entirely to disre- gard its promise “to prevent” such activities as those complained of it struck a severe blow at the fabric of friendly relations be- tween the two countries. Cannot Disclaim Responsibility. To summarize, in view of the plain language of the pledge, it is not possible for the Soviet gov- ernment to disclaim its obligation to prevent activities on its territory directed toward overthrowing the political or social order in the United States. And that govern- ment does not and cannot disclaim responsibility on the ground of in- ability to carry out the pledge for its authority within its territorial limits is suprefne and its power to control the acts and utterances of organizations and individuals with- in those limits is absolute. It remains to be seen to what extent the intention indicated by the Soviet government's reply, which is directly contrary to “the fixed policy” declared in its pledge, will be carried into effect. If the Soviet government pursues a policy of permitting activities on its ter- ritory involving interference in the internal affairs of the United States, instead of “preventing” such activities, as its written pledge provides, the friendly and official relations between the two countries cannot but be seriously impaired. Whether such relations between these two great countries ere thus unfortunately to be im- paired and co-operative opportun- ities for vast good to be destroyed, will depend upon the attitude and action of the Soviet government. feograteadenontraleed s’auulwn( in Perfect DIAMONDS < Also ccmplete line of standard and all-American made watches. hop at the friendly store—. yorre always greeted with & Smile—wish no obligation to hu’.
