A—2 %xx¥ LABOR PARTY IDEA DECLARED FOREIGN Green, at A. F. of L. Parley, Insists U. S. Maintain Its Neutrality. By the Associated Press. " ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., October 7. —President William Green opened -the fifty-fifth annual convention of “the American Federation of Labor to- day with a speech in which he de- nounced a proposed labor party as “the desire of a “foreign capital.” “No organization meeting on foreign %oil can tell the American Federation of Labor what it should or should not do,” he declared. He drew thunderous applause from the delegates with an anti-war declaration: “I know I give expression to the hearts and minds of the Nation's working men and women when I say that labor will say to our Govern- | ment: ‘Under no circumstance must we be drawn into this (Italian-Eth- fopian) conflict.” Fights Coercion Into New Party. On the proposed labor party he said: “The American Federation of Labor, in my judgment, will back such a party when the crystalized opinion of the workers is that their purposes can be better served by an independent party. “The American Federation of Labor will not be coerced into that—will not take that action because some order comes from a foreign capital directing the workers ‘of this country to form an independent political party.” Green said organized labor would carry the fight for a six-hour day and five-day week to every city, town and hamlet, as its solution for in- dustrial recovery. N. R. A. Successor Debated. The Executive Council put it up to the convention today to propose a successor to the N. R. A, The council, rather than indorsing a suggested constitutional amendment to replace the N. R. A., advised ex- haustive studies of recovery legisla- tion before recommending a future course. “That some control must be exer- cised over our former system of laissez-faire cannot be denied,” re- ported the executive body as the con- vention opened. “The experiment (N. R. A) which has been concluded has helped to point the way to the goal which we must seek.” The council condemned activities of Communists within union organiza- tions, and recommended emendment of the federation constitution to forbid recognition of any group “espousing communism or the violent overthrow ©f our institutions.” Peril Seen to Movement. 1t said Communists, under orders from Moscow. were attempting to dominate federation unions rather than organizing independents. Suc- cess in such efforts, the report said, meant “no more or less than the dis- #olution and destruction of our move- ment.” * The report said that re-employment under the N. R. A. was twice as rapid as in the unregulated recovery period of 1922, but cited many “insuffi- clencies” in the Blue Eagle program. ‘These criticisms included: Insuffi- cient formulation of policy, insuffi- cient labor participation in code-mak- ing, administration and reformation; insufficient statistics surveys and in- sufficient powers of enforcement. Drive Urged by Local Unions. The executive group reaffirmed the federation's position that shorter hours and higher wages were essential to better days. It also advocated a campaign among local unions, to be- - gin not later than December 1, to unionize all wage earners in their localities. More than 500 representatives of affiliated international, State and local unions gathered to hear the opening address of William Green, federation president. The delegates faced a showdown on the deferred argument over “craft” unions versus ‘“industrial” unions. Involved is the newly organized au- . tomobile workers' union, which has complained against craft organiza- . tions in machine shops and among . maintenance men, “RADIO STRIKE GRIP CLAIMED, DENIED Mackay Stations Tied Up, Say Operators, but Firm Scouts Assertion. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 7.—A com- plete tie-up of Mackay radio stations on the West Coast and on Long Island was claimed today by the American Radio Telegraphists’ Association but immediately denied by 3 Mackay offi- cial. The association, which called a strike of Mackay operators Friday, as- serted that 14 of 15 operators at the Southampton, Long Island, station and «the entire crew of 11 at Sayville, Long 'Island, had walked out. It claimed further that service on the West Coast was at & standstill 1rom 9 o’'clock last night until 3 o'clock this morning, the hour for which the last report was available. The Mackay spokesman, in denying the tie-up, said that all stations were operating on full schedule with the exception of point-to-point service at Portland, Oreg. Ship-to-ship service at Portland, however, was normal, he said. “Not more than five or six men at any station walked out,” the Mackay official said.

BY PAUL MALLON. AN DIEGO, Calif.—A confiden- tial report on relief conditions in this State was concluded recently by economic investi- gators for a substatnial non-partisan group. This group has been critical of the New Deal, but the facts of the report are apparently unprejudiced. At least, they will not be made public and were not intended for propaganda purposes. The relief problem is viewed by the | report with a more realistic eye than it is popular to use in public these days, but the things it sees should be of primary interest to every taxpayer everywhere. The problem in Cali- fornia is little different from other States. Relief Concept Held Wrong. ‘WIrong. is that relief is not an emergency ‘problem, but a permanent one. For instance, if business suddenly should become 100 per cent active all along the line, there probably would be be- tween eight and nine million unem- ployed left in the country. A perma- nent policy must therefore be devised. Such action is also financially desirable because experienced wel= fare executives told the economist invstigators they could meet the California problem with one-half or less of the State and Federal funds now being provided. The first thing to be done, in the opinion of the investigators, is to get the Federal Governmeni out of the relief business, actually and not theo- vatically. The permanent program nould be undertaken by citizens of each local community, who can best weed out their own undeserving cases | the deserving. These citizens should be outstanding men of practical ex- perience in business. The report does not decide where the money should come from, but it ernment should handle only the in- terstate movement of indigent or near- indigent transients. Facts Developed. | from the following set of facts de- veloped in the investigation: 65 per cent during the last year «fis- cal, ending June 30). The number on relief increased about the same (peak of 800,000 residents and 75,000 Federal transients last March). Cur- rent annual expenditure for relief and welfare will total around $150,000,000 and overshadow any other single ac- tivity in the State. The S. E. R.

With the American battle fleet sta- tioned in the harbor, and tuna pro- duction setting a new record, he community is booming. Yet approxi- mately 90,000 persons in this neigh- borhood are still on relief. (The pop- ulation of the city proper is about 180,000.) Rash of Fairs Feared. The success of this and the Chi- cago fair is about to bring on what may be a national rash of such events. There will be one in Dallas next year, possibly one in Los Angeles and Port- land the year following, and one in San Francisco the third year New York is planning one, too, for 1939. Perhaps all can succeed, but it is The fact is this fair will break about even.

Confronted with the greatest volume of work in its history, the Civil Service Commission is preparing to put on a night force in the application and rating sections, it became known today. It will be the first time the commis- sion ever has had to take a step of this nature. The nearest approach to it was during the war when District school teachers were given temporary employment for a few hours at night to rate clerical papers. The huge expansion is necessitated by the new law putting postal workers on a 40-hour week and increasing that force greatly, and by the executive order under which members of the tunity to qualify under civil service for administrative positions in the Conservation Corps. About 200 employes will be added | to the commission's staff here and | their work is expected to last from 90 | days to six months. The night shift | will start between November 15 and | December 1 under present plans. | The applications and rating sections handle the applications and examina- tion papers of Civil Service employes and it is anticipated that there will be hundreds of thousands of candi- dates for the new postal work and for the C. C. C. stafl. In the postal service the principal labor involved will be taking care of applications for railway mail clerks, the examination for which is on a Nation-wide basis. The clerk-carrier examinations and those for custodial workers and substitutes are being handled in the individual cities and | towns. These examinations are already under way and the commission has estimated that it will take about two | years to complete the program. The C. C. C. examinations will be at the | 2,500 conservation camps. 1 The heaviest year ever known at | the commission was in 1918, when | civillan recruiting was at its peak, | but it was said today that prospects | are that much more will have to be | done in the next year. By putting on a night force the work will be speeded up and the necessity for | taking added office space and pur- | chasing new office equipment will be | obviated. | 'M’REYNOLDS SCOUTS 'EMBARGO ON COTTON | el | Foreign Relations Chairman' Holds Material Would Not Be Put on War List. | By the Associated Press.

Before prying apart the wreckage of the giant, silver-hued airliner, a representative of the Department of Commerce, stationed at the Cheyenne airdrome, was hastily summoned. The soldiers formed a tight circle about the debris. ‘Witness Describes Scene. T. Joe Cahill, chief of police of Cheyenne, who was one of the ground searching party, thus described the accident: “There was no fire, but the scene was horrible. The bodies were broken and battered, particularly the pilot and co-pilot. Co-pilot Batty lay with his face down and his radio head set was still clamped on his ears, “By a freak, the mail sacks. a half dozen of them, were not even torn. A mail clerk had them in tow by the time we gathered up the bodies. “The stewardess on duty, Leona Mason, and Helen Warren, another | stewardess, who was just riding to Chicago, were easily identified from the color of their uniforms. “The other two women were distin- guished by their clothes. but we now are trying to establish their separate identities. “Of all the fires, explosions and legal executions it has been necessary for me to witness, this was one of the most trying experiences.” Line’s First Crash in Long Time. The nearest habitation is a pump- ing station for the City of Cheyenne, where perhaps a half a dozen persons live. The airliner left Oakland, Calif., last night at 6:25 o'clock, Pacific standard time, and was due to arrive in New York at 2:15 pm, E. §. T, today. The accident was the first in the last 28,000,000 miles of flving by United, the equivalent of 150.000.000 passenger miles, since the last acci- dent on the United Airlines, officials of the company said. Pilot Robert Ferguson of the U. A. L. searching fleet, operating from Cheyenne, was plane, at about 5:45 a.m., mountain standard time. “A dark mass of debris was about all I could see,” he said. “I merely circled the scene and returned here.” P. J. Arderson of Wyoming Air Service was the second flyer over the scene. T. Joe Cahill, Cheyenne police chief, whose career as a Wyoming pioneer has embraced virtually every type of land accident and disaster, raced to the scene by motor car and described it in these words: “It was one of the most terrible sights you can imagine. The bodies were like broken boxes. The airplane had skidded several hundred yards | along the hillside. “Debris made a trail along a ravine at the foot of the knoll. The ship itself was ripped apart. There were some indications, from the position of the wreckage, that the plane had attempted to climb, but had been shoved back by striking the hilitop, as if a giant hand had pushed it into the ground.” MATTHEWS WAS BANKER.

SALT LAXE CITY, October 7.— ‘The waters of Great Salt Lake were scanned by aerial searchers today for signs of a palatial transport plane, missing with its crew -of three since early Sunday morning. Private and commercial planes and a number ot boats were assembled in @ systematic search for the big ship, owned by the Standard Oil Co. of California. Fear was expressed that the air- liner—supplied with several thousand dollars of special apparatus in addi- tion to standard equipment—had plunged into the lake. ‘Those aboard were: R. S. Allen, 35, pilot, Oakland, Calif. G. A. Lenz, Calif. George C. Anderson, 25, mechanic, Alameda, Calif. Last reports were received at 2:02 a.m. yesterday, when thé flyers gave a position of 15 miles northeast of Salduro, Utah, about 45 minutes’ fly- ing distance from Salt Lake City. Twenty-one minutes later the Salt Lake airport received a request, pre- sumably from the same plane, for landing conditions at the field. The information was given. No plane ar- rived. Aviators skimmed the lake surface and searched the surrounding moun- tains yesterday, but found no clue. Although the water of the lake is extremely buoyant because of its salt content, airmen said the plane prob- | ably would have been submerged im- | mediately if it struck with any great force. The plane was on the way here to carry Harry D. Collier. vice president of the company, to the coast. Collier arrived here by train from New York.

Administration officials were dis- closed today to be working on plans for a new work relief program for next year. No decision has yet been reached on the size or the form of the pro- gram. Though President Roosevelt has expressed confidence that return= ing prosperity will lower emergency expenditures, relief officiais are con- vinced there still will be a big problem in taking care of the unemployed after the present $4,800,000,000 fund is gone. Formulation of another program foreshadows a new conflict between the views of Secretary Ickes and Harry L. Hopkins, work progress ad- ministrator, similar to the one in which this year's plan became en- snarled Ickes already has left-over projects from this year's curtailed public works program to form a sizable nucleus for next year. When the public works fund was cut to $330,000,000 it ex- cluded about $600,000,000 of already partially approved projects which could be put under way within a few weeks' time. Together with State contributions, these projects would provide a public works program costing from $1.000.- 000,000 to $1,500,000,000 in the ag- gregate. Associates of Ickes have no doubt that he will offer these projects the basis for next year's plan, & | that Hopkins will contend for speedi more flexible and cheaper work such as he is conducting now under the Work Progress Administration.

They said what- ever balance was left probably w be earmarked for projects already der way, but not completed. In preparing another program for next year, relief officlals are pro- ceeding on the belief that even sub- stantial business recovery would not i make the unemployment problem much easier.
