A—2 % SURVEY ONN.R A WILL FIX POLIGY Figures to Show Whether Industry Has Abandoned Code Principles. By the Associated P ess. While the American Federation of Labor complained that lengthened work hours were hindering re-employ- ment, administration officials kept close guard today on statistics on which President Roosevelt will base his decision whether to recommend new N. R. A. legislation. The statistics, showing to what ex- tent industry has abandoned wage and hour standards of the deceased | codes, were flowing in from 700 field workers all over the country, but no inkling of what they disclosed was available. The survey was being conducted under the President's direction, and those in charge of it expected that| the results would play a large part in | determining whether new legislation would be asked of the next Congress to replace N. R. A. Labor Undertakes Survey. A similar survey, also incomplete, was under way at American Federation of Labor headquarters. Meanwhile, the federation contended, on the basis of employment and production figures, that increased industrial activity was bringing longer working hours instead of more jobs. In its monthly survey of business this week, the federation said produc- | tion had increased 8 per cent this| year over last, but employment and workers' income had not been raised. | It estimated unemployment in excess | of 11,000,000, or more than last year | despite increased industrial activity. The labor organization said that in 1934, under N. R. A, employment | and workers' income had kept pace | with the rise of production figures, but that this years' record was a “strong contrast.” N. R. A. officials refused to disclose whether the survey they are making for the President supported the con- clusions of the federation that em: ployers were extending hours instead | of taking on new men to increase | production. Silent on Results. They likewise refused to say wheth- er there had been any change in | trend since President Roosevelt's an- Houncement a few weeks ago that 90 per cent of business men were living up to N. R. A. standards. While the field force of 700 men will not have time to investigate all industrial sectors before Congress meets in January, officials said they believed the survey would give a true picture of conditions from representa- | tive units. | In some of the larger industries.‘ with many units, the field force is contacting as many as 5,000 indi- | What’s What Uphold T.

The | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, SANGTIONS GAUSE MORE WAR ALARM Conversations Over Fleets in Mediterranean Similar to Those of 1914. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. As Europe slowly drifts into the dangerous waters of a world war by T President Passes Through Canal on Way Home the old system of alliances, develop- ments abroad are causing more ap- prehension here than generally ap- pears on the surface. The fear that economic sanctions must inevitably produce war is grow- ing. The conversations that have been going on between France and England relative to what may hap- pen if an Italian fleet comes into con- flict with British forces in the Medi- terranean are not unlike the hurried exchanges that occurred in 1914, when it looked as if Belgian neutrality were to be violated, and France turned to England for assurances of aid. ‘The maneuvers whereby Austria is getting closer to Italy are viewed here as having some relationship to what might happen later at Berlin. It may | turn out that Adolf Hitler holds the key to the whole future situation be- cause there is no embargo on muni- tions or supplies to Germany from any country, and hence anything shipped to Germany can be trans- shipped through Austria to Italy with- out in any way violating the “sanc- tions™ of the League of Nations. Essential German Step. Germany’s acquiescence in the em- bargo measures and her wholehearted enforcement is an absolutely essential step to the effectiveness of the League of Nations policy. Germany is just now withdrawing from the League. | The demand that is coming from some of the smaller nations that a blockade be established against Italian ports is necessarily an act of war. Up to now there has been nothing resembling a declaration of war from any of the countries allied under the Covenant of the League. A declaration of war between the principal countries of Europe and Italy through the League would, tragically enough, solve in part Amer- ica's dilemma. For then, under the terms of the present neutrality law. D.

HOUSTON, October 19. — President Roosevelt pulled out into the Atlantic today from the San Blas Islands for Saturday fishing before pointing the Houston northward for home this evening. The tropic sun has baked the faces of the President and his party, but all hands aboard are eager for another try at their luck in deep sea fishing. The President today was delighted over the events of yesterday’s visit to the San Blas Indians in their thatched huts on the thickly populated islands. He and his party are carry- ing home a number of souvenirs pur- chased from the shy, brightly dressed women, who covered their faces to cameras. Heads Home Tonight. Tonight the President will reboard the Houston, which will head north for Windward Passage, between Cuba and Haitl. The destination is be- lieved to be Charleston, S.

When the President and his fellow adventurers neared shore in several of the ship's boats yesterday they were met by smiling, brown native boys, who skillfully paddled their dugouts to form a guiding convoy back to the beach.

This is espe~ cially true among the great ideal- ists who, heretofore, would not soil their hands by ertending them to a politician. There are reports that Farley re- cently won & big inside victory for his | viewpoint in a discussion at the White | House.

They are so strategically situated that they could brush his navy off the waves in three weeks.

SR FAVORITE-SON “GAG” United Front Necessary, Says Idaho Delegate in Bid for East-West Efforts. By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, October 19.—The “outworn favorite son gag” had mountain State Republicans won- dering today whether they should offer the name of Senator William E. Borah for President in 1936. Wellington D. Rankin, Montaha Republican leader, brought Borah's name before the eight-State “Grass Roots” Convention, declaring the Idaho Senator was the strongest candidate available, and adding: “Nominate Willlam E. Borah and you nominate the next President of the United States.” This brought a sharp reply from W. Scott Hall, a delegate from the Senator’s home State. He declared the “outworn favorite son gag” is being revived by “would- be big shots” of the party. “I have never been able to see that the interests of the East are opposed to those of the West,” he said. “With & united effort the Republican party can win the election and save the Nation.” The Resolutions Committee held the spotlight today with an expected reso- lution demanding remonetization of silver. s POLISH CONSUL ORDERED FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA Friction Over Minority Due to Alleged Speeches Against Praha Republic.
