HARTIVE NON AGREESTOTRUCE AVERTG STRHE Shipping to Continue Under 0ld Agreement During Arbitration. McGRADY’S PROPOSAL KEEPS 37,000 AT WORK Assistant Secretary of Labor Praises Workers and Employ- ers for Attitude. BACKGROUND— Pacific Coast maritime dispute which threatened to tie up $hip- ping hinged on expiration of work- ing agreements which jollowed the bitter 1934 coastwisc strike, in which a dozen men lost their lives and which finally led to a mass walkout of all unions in the San Francisco Bay area. Agreements were renewed a year ago by mutual consent, but this year both sides announced dissatis- faction. B the Assoctated Fress. ! SAN FRANCISCO, October 1.—A | threatened tie-up of coast shipping ‘hrough expiration of agreements be- ;ween shippers and unions represent- ng 37,000 workers was announced as | wverted early today through union ac- | septance of a 15-day truce proposed 2y employers. Under the truce, as outlined by As- istant Labor Secretary Edward F. McGrady., commerce Wwill continue inder the old agreements, with “no itrings” attached to the arrangement. During that period, he said, the nions will appoint committees to de- | side whether disputed issues shall be submitted to arbitration during an ad- jitional 45 days of proposed negotia- ions. The question of arbitrating these | fisputes has been a principal cause of | deadlocking negotiations. Th unions | declared they could not arbitrate such fundamental questions as recognition and the right to collective bargaining. Employers in Accord. Employers in turn said they had granted full unfon recognition and | were in accord with the workers'| rights to bargnin collectively. The suce was announced nearly half an hour after the time set for expiration of the old agreements,| snder which the maritime workers | genearlly were granted higher wages | end in proved working conditions than had e isted previously. Coa. ¢ shipping lowed to a fraction of its normal movement yesterday in enticipation of waterfront trouble. McGrady praised both sides. “If common sense prevails, I am | sure there is no necessity, for a tieup in the future,” said the official, who | spent all yesterday and last night | moving from one conference to an-| other. He was sent here by plane Entered as second class post office, Washingten, D. C. from Washington. In unanimously accepting the truce the Joint Union Negotiating Commit- tee thanked McGrady and Federal Conciliators E. P. Marsh and Edward Fitzgerald for “preventing a lockout by employers.” 1 Previously shippers had announced that, beginning today, they would hire only under their own terms, and at | docks instead of through jointly oper- ! ated hiring halls. Union chiefs, including Harry, Bridges, district president of the In- ternational Longshoremen’s Associa- | tion, said such action would be resisted &8s a “lockout.” Propose Arbitration. ‘The employers’ proposal for the truce i ‘was embodied jn a telegram sent the | newly created United States Maritime Commission. It specified that “each of the unions on or before October 15 agree with your commission and with us that any and all disputes that shall mot be settled by negotiation within the 60-day period * * * shall be sub- mitted to arbitration before your com- mission, and upon the understanding | that your commission will lend its ef- forts and influence to see that awards | and existing contracts are lived up to during the period * * * “We have advised maritime unions of our willingness to grant a 15-day extension.” Last week the unions proposed a 15-day truce, but employers then said they were “loath” to any extension which would not result in permanent settlement of difficulties. The big Dollar Liner, President Coolidge, diverted from San Francisco, sailed for the Orient several hours be- hind schedule from San Pedro. The delay involved crew demands for any benefits that might result from main- land negotiations during the 60-day voyage. MERCURY TO REMAIN LOW, BUT RAIN ENDS Water Seeping Into Trafic Light Puts All Out of Commission on Avenue. ‘The rain of the past two days ended today, but not much change in tem- perature was forecast for Washington todsy and tomorrow by the Weather Bureau.

By the Associated Press. 2 NEW YORK, October 1.—A heavy overnight rain turned the Polo Grounds into a miniature lake today and forced postponement of the sec- ond game of the world series between the New York Giants and New York Yankees. Weather permitting — and there were. indications that a two-day spell of intermittent rain finally was ready to call a halt—the game will be played tomorrow at the Polo Grounds. The series schedule, calling for the third, fourth and fifth games to be played at the Yankee Stadium, sim- ply will move back one day. The postponement was ordered by Kenesaw ‘M. Landis, high commis- sioner of base ball, after he had in- spected the rain-sSked grounds. In the left field section, where yester- day's rain had driven Yankee relief pitchers over to the Giants’ bull pen because of “high water,” was a vir- tual lake and the infield, though il had been protected by covers during the night, was a quagmire. Landis made his tour in company with Joe McCarthy and Bill Terry, the rival managers, and Travis Jack- son, field leader of the Giants, who took a one-game edge over the Amer- ican League champions by winning the opening game yesterday, 6—1, be- hind Carl Hubbell. - After he had had a chance to view the situation, Landis decided promptly in favor of a postponement. “It would be no fair test of base (See SERIES, Page A-2) DEVALUATION BILL FIVLLY APPROVED Compromise Measure Voted by Chamber—Senate Objections Win. BACKGROUND— Announcement last week that government of Premier Leon Blum would move to devaluate the French franc by epprozimately one-third led to stampede of other members of European gold bloc to jollow suit and spurred hopes for trade revival and vitimate stabilization of world currencies.

PARIS, October 1.—The French Chamber of Deputies late today gave final parliamentary approval to de- valuation of the franc, adopting the monetary measure, with its compro- mise clause on price fixing decrees, by a vote of 35¢ to 217. The vote meant that only the pro- mulgation of President Albert LeBrun is necessary to make reduction of the gold content of the franc a law. Before the final ballot, the Cham- ber had adopted, by a show of hands, the compromise Senate clause which government to control the cost of liv- ing. Mobile Guards Reinformed. The government and the Senate, earlier, had gotten together on the devaluation bill in a political atmos- phere charged with threats of dis- order. Rumors that the capital's mobile guards were being reinforced were reflected in the Senate debate, whge “the psychosis of civil war.” Premier Leon Blum announced he would leave Paris tonight on s delayed Journey to Geneva. Thus he indicated his confidence that the government's devaluation difficulties were ended. Committee Accepts Compromise. The Chamber PFinance Colmitted accepted the compromise definitely after the Senate had passed the substitute measure without a record vote. It provides for realignment of the currency, but provides a check on government decree powers to control price increases. Both M. Blum and Vincent Auriol, the finance minister, pleaded with the Chamber for speedy passage of -the compromise. The government approved the sub- stitute bill, withdrawing its opposition to Senate objections to -particular clauses in the original measure. The Sehate, bowing to the govern- ment's desire for speed, pushed through the compromise after only & brief debate. Made in Conciliation. Abel Gardey, presenting the report of the Finance Committee, said the concessions were made “in a spirit of conciliation.” M.

The President will make his second major address of the campaign at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh at 9 p.m. (Eastern standard time) tonight. Thousands Gather, \ In the beautiful amphitheater of Davis-Elkins College here, surrounded by stately buildings and red and gold foliage, thousands were gathered long before the President’s arrival. Auto- mobiles poured into this city in the Tygaart River Valley all through the night. Hotel rooms could mnot be found. Many of the visitors slept the night in their cars, others were thoughtful enough to bring trailers as living quar- ters, while some just walked the streets waiting for the hour when the Presi- dent would greet the folk of the Mountain State.

B the Associated Press. WATERTOWN, Wis, October 1.— Hibernating Arthur (Turkey) Gehrke, stifling a yawn, opined today he would defer his twenty-seventh annual all- Winter doze at least until the end of the world series, and probably as long as November 1. It was because he wanted to keep abreast of the Yankees-Giants civil strife at New York, for one thing, that he hadn't gone to bed already, the 54-year-old, 215-pound tavernkeeper explained. Last year he turned in before October 1. “They think I'm queer,” he said sagely, “but I think people who stay up and face those cold Winter blasts are the ones who are queer.” Gehrke’s first hibernation began in the latter part of 1910, he recalled, when he went to bed to ease a pain aggravated by cold weather, and stayed there all Winter upon discovering the cure was effective. Thereafter, he | took to the covers annually with the first twinge. ‘The keeper of bears’ hours had this to say today to non-hibernators: “If more folks went to bed all Winter there wouldn't be so much trouble and confusion in the world and every- body would feel better in the Spring.” Gehrke figured his probable loss in weight during his protracted retire- ment at from 10 to 20 pounds, al- though he always had a fair appetite as he lay in the second-floor bed room where he has taken refuge the last 26 Winters. | The sudden death of his wife, | Grace, forced him to end his sleep earlier than usual last Winter, and for the first time in years he was up | and around when the violets began to bud. | “I miss Gracie,” he said. “She was | a great help to me and was so sym- | pathetic in understanding my need for an annual hibernation. FEES ADHOER Communist Candidate and| Four Others Are Out of Terre Haute Jail. Picture on Page A-2. By the Associated Press. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., October 1.— Chiet of Police James C. Yates today released from jail Earl Browder, Com- munist candidate for President, and four associates who were arrested yes- terday morning when they came here to hold a campaign meeting. Browder and the others were ar- rested yesterday by Chief Yates in an effort to halt a Communist meet- ing last night. Browder, Waldo Frank, novelist, and Seymour Waldman, member of the Communist National Election Campaign Committee, both of New York; Charles Stadtfeld, Indiana Communist chairman, and Andrew Rems, a party worker, both of In- dianapolis, sll were held on vagrancy charges. The charges were dismissed at a brief court hearing this morning. For a time last night it appeared ful in preventing any Communist speeches, Browder was in jail and Indiana State Teachers’ College stu- | dents took over the hall where the meeting was to have been held and conducted a foot ball “pep” session. The chief had three policemen in the local radio station under orders to prevent any Communist speech there, but a few minutes before 9:15— the time Browder’s speech was to have been started—David J. Bentall, Chi- cago attorney, rushed into the station, hurried past the officers and was locked in a small broadcasting booth. Almost at the same time Chief Yates, 10 other policemen and ap- proximately 50 citizens hurried into the studio. The door to the broad- casting booth was locked, however, and Bentall began speaking. There were a few cries of “Let’s take him off the air” and “That door is not very thick,” but when all the policemen except Yates left, saying they had been given orders by the Board of Works and Safety to allow the speech to be made, the threats subsided. Yates asserted he did not “understand” what had happened, as he had given his men strict orders to prevent any Communist speech. TOWN GOES DRY TULLY, N.

ILLINOIS DOUBTFUL AS REGENT TREND 106. 0.P. 15 SEEN Down-State Swing Since Primary Held Favorable to Republicans. NEW REGISTRATION LAW IS FACTOR IN ELECTION Aftermath of Row Between Hor- ner and Kelly-Nash Machine May Hurt Roosevelt. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staft Correspondent of Ihe Star. CHICAGO, October 1.—Last April, at the time of the primary elections in Illinols, this State looked hopeless for the Republicans. The number of votes cast in the Democratic primary exceeded the number in the Repube lican primary by half a million or more. Today the State looks, at least, debatable ground, with the Repube licans apparently gaining strength. Whether they will be able to gain enough to carry the State for Lane don depends upon a number of ime portant factors, some for and some operating against the Republicans. The change In the situation marks a gain for the G. O. P. Since Gov. Landon of Kansas was nominated for the presidency in June, there has been |a marked swing back to the Repub- lican fold in down-State Illinois. In Cook County, which includes Chicago, the bitter strife which has existed be- tween the Kelly-Nash Democratic ma= chine and Gov. Horner, Democratic candidate to succeed himself, has been glossed over. But the bitter feel= ing continues. | These obvious and less obvious rela~ | tions between the Kelly-Nash Demo- cratic organization in Chicago and Gov. Horner operate in two different directions, both seemingly to the ade vantage of the Republicans. In the primary campaign this year, Mayor Kelly of Chicago and Patrick Nash, the Democratic national committee= man, decreed the political execution of Gov. Horner. They did not like him for a number of reasons, one of which 1s sufficient. He would not let them sop up all they wished; he would not play ball. Horner ‘went to the mat. He made himself out a martyr, the object of attack by a corrupt Chie cago machine. He told down-State Illinois that the Chicago bosses ine tended to dictate the nomination of the next Governor. Sectional Rivalry Intense. For years the rivalry between downstate Illinois and Chicago has been intense. The voting strength of the one section is about equal to {the voting strength of the other. | Downstate Illinois took up the cudgels | for Horner. Horner is a Jew and the | large number of Jews in the State, | many of them-in Chicago, rallied to | his support. Some Republicans went into the Democratic primary in order to help beat the Chicago bosses, Horner triumphed over the Kellys { Nash candidate by a considerable | margin. | Now, with the apparent reconciliae tion between Gov. Horner and the | Kelly-Nash outfit, Horner no longer looks to the downstate voters quite | the same. And, at the same time, if reports be true, the Kelly-Nash oute fit would not be averse to sticking & knife into Horner's back. This row, | therefore, may have a very definite effect on the outcome of the election, | mot only for Governor, but also for President. | In Chicago, which has so large a | proportion of the State's vote, an | election is no pink-tea affair. The political “deals” and corruption have | been almost unbelievable in the past. | No such thing as party loyalty of keeping faith has been known in | many of the wards. Republican ward leaders and committeemen have sold out to the Democrats, and vice versa, Political bandit leaders have floure ished. Five Women Sentenced. Only yesterday three women poll officials in the twentieth ward in lass April's primary were sentenced to a year in jail and two others to six | months. Three of the women were Democrats and two Republicans, They were found guilty of ballot frauds—and they were judges at the polls—after 14 persons had testified in court that they did not vote, ale though the poll books showed them to have voted, and 2 handwriting ex- pert had said 26 ballots were marked by the same person. All these 26 ballots were marked for President Roosevelt, for Bundeson for Governor (the Kelly-Nash candidate) and for John M. Bolton, candidate for State Representative, who has since been murdered. In addition to the women, five men have been held for the grand (See LINCOLN, Page A-5.) 39 FACE CHARGES IN LETTUCE STRIKE First Major Disorder Reported. Guards With Tear Gas Halt 500 Pickets.
