LABOR AND STEEL 10 WAGE FINISH UNIONIZING FIGHT Lewis and Green Factions May Be Reconciled by Difficulty. C.1. 0., IN STATEMENT, SCORES ‘DICTATORSHIP’ Organization of Workers Declared Imperative Due to Arrogance of Industry. BACKGROUND— Organized labor for some years has had two distinct factions— those favoring industrial and those favoring craft unionization. John L. Lewis, heading jormer group, took vigorous initiative recently in form- ing Committee for Industrial Or- ganization and boldly setting forth to organize labor in $5,000,000,000 steel industry. Immediately the industry opened strong backfire of publicity de- nouncing labor's intentions. At same time A. F. of L. attempted to censure Lewis and C. I. O. for over= stepping themselves. BY JOHN C. HENRY. The battle between the steel in- dustry and organized labor as rep- resented by the Committee for Indus- trial Organization will go on with- out quarter from either side, it was plain today as observers studied de- velopments of the last 24 hours in both camps. At the same time, the common cause of fighting capital may tempo- | rarily bring a reconciliation between | the estranged labor factions of John L. Lewis, heading the C. I. O., and William Green, president of the A. F. of L. It was noted that the two leaders, long at swords’ point over the issue of industrial vs. craft unionism, have refrained from fur- ther verbal warfare during the last few days. Lewis said yesterday he thinks it “inconceivable that the Executive Council (of the A. F. of L) would commit any act to split the labor forces of America” in the present crisis. C. L O. Statement Issued. Yesterday’s heaviest bombardment in the capital vs. labor dispute came from the C. I. O. after a four-hour session of representatives of its 10 member unions at the offices of Lewis here. The group issued a prepared statement after their meeting broke up, but most of the fire and brim- stone was contained in remarks of the burly Lewis at a press conference immediately upon adjournment. “If the steel industry doesn't want anything but a fight, we'll meet them,” Lewis growled. “We have no inten- tion of being diverted from our plans.” Discussing the industry’s publicity campaign, particularly the action of the American Iron and Steel Institute in inserting full-page advertisements 4n 375 newspapers, Lewis declared the *arrogant dictatorship” of the indus- try makes organization of its labor imperative. It is not the purpose of such organization to precipitate a strike, he continued, and if one oc- curs it will be due to the “provocative policy” of the industry. Encouragement to labor’s cause came unexpectedly vesterday from Secretary of Labor Perkins in a press confer- ence, in which she chided the steel industry for making the assumption that there is to be a strike, declaring (See STEEL, Page 3.)

(Text of President’s Speech. Page 3.) BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Staff Correspondent of The Star. BIG MEADOWS, Shenandoah Na- tional Park, Va., July 3.—Deploring what he described as the tragedy of | waste—human as well as material re- sources—President Roosevelt in a | speec: here today dedicating the | Shenandoah National Park made an | ardent appeal for the preserving and | developing the natural resources of | this country. Mr. Roosevelt declared that the Na- tion’s natural resources are “our price- less heritage” and that by developing them “we are equally conserving our priceless heritage of human values by giving to hundreds of thousands of men the opportunity for making an honest living.” The President delivered this dedica- Blue Ridge Mountains, in the presence of a large crowd. Speaking in a natural amphitheater, after a motor trip from Washington, the President sald the creation of the park is one part “of our great program of hus- bandry—the joint husbandry of our human resources and our natural re- sources” and he took occasion to praise the men of the Civilian Con- servation Corps for the work they have done on the park. Cities Pride in Labor. The share of the C. C. C. men in this park work the President re- minded his audience, is as significant as though, instead of working for the Government, they had worked in a mill or a factory. The men, the President said with feeling, have a right to be as proud of their labor here as if they had been engaged in private employment. Mr. Roosevelt was introduced by Gov. George C. Peery of Virginia, following invocation offered by Right Rev. H. St. George Tucker, Bishop of Virginia. On the platform from which he spoke sat Mrs. Roosevelt, Postmaster General Farley and Sec- retary of Interior Ickes, the latter making a brief address after the President; Marvin H. McIntyre, one of the Uresident's secretaries; R. Wal- ton Moore of Virginia, Assistant Se retary of State, and a number of Vir- ginia State officials and park officials.

C.C Motor Carriers’ Bureau Points Out Three Factors to Public. Declaring as its ultimate objective “to decrease accidents, save humaa lives and reduce property losses,” the Bureau of Motor Carriers of the Inter- state Commerce Commission today made public a tentative draft of rules and regulations for enforcing the safety sections of the new motor carrier act. | Three salient factors are involved, as follows: Every driver—mentally and phys- ically qualified to drive safely, possessor of driver's license, subject to rules and regulations relating to qualifications of drivers and safety of operation, and protected from hazardous fatigue by limitations on hours of service. Every vehicle—inherently safe in its physical specifications, properly equip- ped for safety purposes, regularly in- spected and maintained in safe work- tory address from a platform ing order and carrying visible means plateau in a remote section’ tification. “ Every accident involving death, in- jury or material property damage— carefully analyzed to determine fur- ther means of accident prevention. 300,000 Carriers Involved. About 300,000 common and contract carriers of persons and property are involved, and the commission also has power, if need be, to supervise private carriers of property to the extent of establishing reasonable requirements for safety of operation by prescribing qualifications and maximum hours of service for employes and standards of equipment. The section of the act relating to such private carriers is very broad and detailed regulations for its applica- tion—that is, to whom and under what circumstances it is for applica- tion—still are to be worked out. ‘The tentative draft of safety rules, the bureau said, is that which seems fit in light of present information.

BACKGROUND— The League of Nations paragraph on military sanctions originally em- powered the Council to “recommend to the several governments con- cerned what eflective military, naval or air force the members of the League shall severally con- tribute to the armed forces to be used to protect the covenants.” By the Associated Press. GENEVA, July 3—France called today for a reinforced system of re- gional pacts, supervised by the League of Nations, to guarantee world peace by military force. Yvon Delbos, French foreign min- ister, urged before the Assembly of the League a speedy reformation of the international peace body by which aggressors would suffer swift armed punishment. He addressed a group of statesmen whose nerves were on edge after the firing of two shots in the assembly hall. A Czech newspaper man, seated in a gallery adjoining the delegates’ benches, had shot himself. The wounded man, a Jew, left a letter say- ing he wished by his act to draw world attention to the situation of the Jews in Germany. Delbos announced France planned to establish new treaties and to strengthen existing pacts. He advocated elimination from the in Article XI that a unanimous vote of the Council is necessary on meas- ures to safeguard peace. said, the fundamentals of the cove- nant should not be changed. | The French foreign minister as- serted a system of regional pacts under League supervision would estab- !lish a close link between economic and military sanctions and would strengthen provisicns of the punitive Article XVI to make automatic mili- tary action againet an AgEressor.cer- tain. Dangers Increased. Declaring “the prolongation of un- certainty increases the dangers of a situation,” Delbos asked the members to submit suggestions for reform be- fore August 15, in order to allow the September Assembly to make decisions. He emphasized that “the League met defeat (in the Italo-Ethiopian con- flict) because the arms of the Cove- nant were not employed in full.” He argued that to reduce the League to a purely consultative institution would be to strike it a “terrific blow.” However, Dr. Halvdan Koht, for- eign minister of Norway, expresed grave apprehension “of the menace that lurks in regional pacts.” War sanctions have lost their mean- ing and the “last crusade is finished,” Jayme Fonseca Monteiro of Portugal told the League of Nations Assembly today. By lifting sanctions, League states admit certain articles of the Covenant are “too lofty” to be workable, he said. The League must be made practical and must be made “more than a great market of unrealizable dreams,” the Portuguese foreign minister asserted. Spanish Foreign Minister Augusto Barcia vigorously opposed reform of the League Covenant, He argued to the delegates: “The law is good. What is bad is the way it has been enforced.” Practice Needs Reform. The Spanish delegate declared what should be reformed is, not the cov- enant, but the practice and spirit of carrying out the covenant’s provisions.

BACKGROUND— Collapse of Eden’s sanctions pol- icy against Italy as peace weapon upped Hoare to post of first lord of the British admiralty, vindicating his view that a practical “deal” with Italy would have benefited the powers, saved Selassie’s crown if not all his domain. Labor has demanded the govern- ment resign, as Hoare did when his opinions were not supported. BY the Assoctated Press. LONDON, July 3.—A “practically certain” deficit in the British budget because of defense expenditures was forecast today in the House of Com- mons. At the same time the empire’s participation in the European arma- ment race was defended by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, pronounced the deficit warning as Commons passed the finance bill embodying budget pro- posals. Baldwin, speaking before a Con- servative Association dinner upon his return to London from the country, declared Great Britain joined the re- armament program of other Euro- pean nations because adherence to fu- ture League of Nations obligations “will very probably bring war in its train.” Admits Ruin Is Possible. He acknowledged large expenditures for defense, “if protracted too long, may ruin us all.” He expressed hope, however, armament reduction may be discussed “sooner or later.” Prime Minister Baldwin’s firm state- ment—"I will retire when I think fit"—meanwhile failed to halt parlia- mentary rumors he will resign next month. His friends believed he would, after further consideration, step out of office when Parliament adjourns about August 1. Of his personal position, Baldwin declared: “The first moment I feel myself incapable of sustaining the burden now resting on me I shall be pre- pared to pass it to other hands. But it is for me to decide and for no one to dictate to me.” Agree on Reich Planes. Baldwin adjusted what he termed a “misunderstanding” with the Mar- quess of Londonderry, former air sec- retary, concerning figures on the rate of German rearmament. His reply was made to opposition members in the House of Commons after La- borites charged the prime minister “lied. “It is not a case of there having been any difference between myself and the air ministry as to our earlier estimates of the rate of German re- armament in the air having been falsified by subsequent acceleration,” Baldwin asserted. Lord Londonderry said he was “quite satisfled” with the explanatory statement. HAIL AND RAIN DAMAGE NEW YORK COMMUNITY Windows Broken, Gardens Are Stripped by Storm in Vicinity of Rome.

CUERO, Tex., July 3.—Hundreds of lowland residents, warned by disaster upstream, fled from the muddy wa- ters of the notorious Guadalupe River today and gave way to its ruin- ous spread over the coastal country of South Texas.

Twenty- three persons are known dead, mostly in the area between Austin and San Marcos. ‘The emergency today was most acute between here and Victoria, a city of 11,000, where the lowlands appeared certain to be flooded.

They hung outside the campaign office win- dows yesterday until the South Park police noticed them. The police dispatched Patrolman William Miller to notify F. H.
