AF.L RESUNES DEBATE NG-A0 New Problem Arises’ for Council as Baltimore "Boat Workers Strike. BY JOHN C. HENRY. Distinctly on the defensive, the Ex- ecutive Council of the American Fed- eration of Labor resumed its quarterly session today with the responsibility of deciding whether the member unjons of the Committee for Indus- trial Organization are to stand “con- demined” or whether they are to be given a new “trial” at the Federation coRvention in November. . . Qver the week end a.new “problemt arose to claim attention of -the har- asded council as 700 striking tugboat workers tied up virtually all shipping in<Baltimore harbor. Three water- fraht labor groups called the strike over wages, hours and working condi- tionis, but controversy also was heated ovér whether the walkout has the ap- proval of A. F. of L. officials:” “The codncil may be called upon to clarify that situation. e original “guilty” verdict on 10 ofithe C. I O. affiliates was brought in-August with the council serving as judge and jury. Thus far, none of the 10° . have appealed and their leader, President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, has breathed militant deflance and complete indifference at regular intervals. « Plea for C. L. O. Hearing. From forces just outside the actual edntroversy, however, came the ac- tign which places the council squarely on the spot. On Friday the newly consolidated Union of United Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers adopted a resolution urging that the C=1. O. unions be allowed rerresen- tation at the November convention i order that the whole issue of in- dustrial organization of certain mass production industries may be thrashed out on the convention floor. The hatters proposed also that peace com- mittees be named by both the coun- cff and the C. L O. to seek & basis for reconciliation. With 10 unions of the C. I. O. under suspension by order of the council, they undoubtedly will be denied seats at the convention unless the council accedes to the hatters’ suggestion. The responsibility rests wholly upon the council. B N Although the new Hatters’ Union, with a membership above the 25000 mark, is not affiliated with the C. I. 0. its sympathies are believed to lie in that direction, and one of its officials, Max Zaritsky, is personally a mem- r of the Lewis group. ; bez)nly the remote possibility of with- drawal from the C. I. O. of Zaritsky or David Dubinsky, president of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- ers, could lighten-the responsibility of the council this week. In one or tWo conferences with the pair, Green is reported to have urged this course, but such action on their part is considered extremely unlikely. Typographical Dispute. Along with this main issue is the immediate corollary of what to do about the International ‘Typographical Union. Charles P. Howard, president of this organization, is secretary of the C. I. O., and was suspended along with Zaritsky and the 10 unions. Since them, the I T. U. has indersed Howard’'s affiliation and promised financial support to the C. I. O., there- by leaving itself subject to suspension *‘gut.side of its family quarrels, the council faces numerous tasks during the week, among the most important being a hearing on the Seattle situa- tion, where publication of the Post- Intelligencer, a Hearst newspaper, Has been prevented by a strike initi- dted by the American Newspaper Guild and supported by union work- ers in other departments. * Tomorrow afternoon the ncil will hear representatives of the guild, the publisher, the Seattle Central Dabor Union and other intcrested parties present their views on the sltuation. * Facing the council also is the task | of completing its bulky report to the ovember convention and of making ® final decision on where the con- ¥ention is to be held. Scheduled for *Pampa, the two-week session may be moved to another city unless the Plorida hotels agree to use of tnion mbor. At the present time they are completely unorganized and confer- @nces on the issue are under Way.

BOMBING SUSPECT KILLSSELF INJAL Officials Expect to Release Second Prisoner in Vir- ginia Slaying. By the Associated Press. EASTVILLE, Va., October 12.—With one of two prisoners held here in the mail bomb slaying of an Eastern Shore farmer dead by his own hand, North- hampton County authorities today indicated they would close the case by releasing his companion. Dr. H. R. Hege, 47-year-old Mount Alry, N. C., dentist, bled to death eArly yesterday from gashes cut in his wrist and neck with a fragment of his eye- glasses. - W. 8. D. williams, Northampton trial justice, called the prisoner’s death a plain case of suicide and said no inquest would be held. May Nolle Prosse Charge. Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Lankford, jr., charge against Ed Banner, Mount Airy W. P. A foreman, would be nolle prossed. "The two men were arrested in Car- roll County, Va., just across the border from Mount Airy, a week ago today, and charged with sending the “wedding present” bomb that killed Curry ‘Thomas, prosperous farmer, and seri- ously wounded his bride of a few weeks. Mrs. Thomas, who was a nurse in Dr. Hege's office for three years be- fore she married last Summer, was under $5,000 bond as a material wit- ness. Reveals Evidence. ‘Though an attorney quoted Dr. Hege as insisting he did not send the bomb, Lankford, who hitherto had closely guarded his information on the case, said the State had evidence the dentist had bought dynamite and had “had access to” lead pipe and fuses. Lead particles were found at the indicated a murder | —Star Staff Photo. spot where the blast Was set off as Mr. and Mrs. Thomas opened an innocent-appearing package as they sat in a ear in front of their home. More particles were taken by doctors from the widow's side. Lankford declared he had proof the parcel was mailed at a South Rich- mond post office. The prosecutor said Banner had told of accompanying Hege to Rich- mond a few days before *he Thomaces received the bomb, and stated the dentist got out several times to inves- tigate “tools rattling” in a baggage carrier, . —_— TESTS ANNOUNCED FOR MAIL CARRIER Examinations Will ‘Be Held for Substitutes at Arlington, Va., Post Office. ‘The Civil Service Commission to- day announced an examination for substitute clerk-carrier at the Are lington, Va., Post Office. The age limit lies between the 18th and 45th birthdays except for persons with military and naval serv- ice. It is required only that these be under retirement age. The commission® gives the follow- ing explanation on making appoint- ments: E “In filling vacancies, certification will be made of local eligibles—that is, of bona fide patrons of the Ar- lington Post Office, and of non-patrons who present with their applications satisfactory evidence that the office for which the examination is an- nounced is nearer their home than the office through which they receive their mail. No person, however, who lives within the city delivery zone of a first or second class post office may be considered as local to any other post office.

The morning ceremony, at 10 o'clock, was arranged by the Lido Civic Club, and representatives of the Italian-American Marconi Club, Woodmen of the World, attended. Harry Marselll was chairman of the Arrangements Committee, and Frank De Nunzio, president of the sponsor- ing organization, placed a wreath at the foot of the statue after deliver- ing & eulogy of the great discoverer. DeNunzio said that Columbus’ dis- coveries should be a common bond between Italy, the land of his birth, and the United States, the greatest of the countries arising in the land which he discovered. Following his talk, Ralph G. Urciolo made a brief address in Italian, stress- ing the world-wide significance of Co- lumbus’ discoveries. Parade Evening Feature.

LONDON, October 12.—The two Baxter sisters of Harrogate, both in their 70s, will get £120 ($600) a month if men keep away from their door. Their brother, Willlam Henry Bax- ter, died at the age of 86, leaving an estate of more than £250,000 ($1,- 250,000). He left them the monthly allowance on condition they do not allow any male person to reside in the house. The sisters are Georgina Todd Bax- ter, 75, and Lily Thorman Baxter, 76. Milk (connnued‘ From PFirst Page) power, what justification is there for the order, constitutional or uncon- stitutional? The 1,300 farmers on the Washington market do not benefit by this order. They remain in status quo.” Darr's case is one of two before the court for the same purpose. The other is brought in behalf of a model farm dairy producer by Attorneys Frederick Stohlman and George I. Cassidy. The agreement, the Government contends, merely fixes minimum prices which must be paid by distributors to producers. Darr insisted it jeopardizes contracts now existing between his clients and the Highland Farms Dairy. Highland Farms, he said, buys at a flat price all the milk produced by their farmers within certain quotas. Darr said his clients will lose on these points through the operation of the agreement: 1. They will not receive as much per gallon of milk as they do now. 2. They will be docked more than they are now for milk containing less than 4.0 per cent butterfat, 3. They will receive a price fob. the dairy under the agreement con- trasted with f.ob. the farm under existing contract. 4. Because the price is set at the end of each fortnight by the agree- ment administrator, the farmer can- not tell from day to day how much he is going to get for his milk. Justice Luhring questioned Darr's statement that the control is beyond | Congress’ power to legisiate for the District. “Is it not all right,” the jurist asked, “for Congress to regulate the amount of milk the distributors can sell?” “No,” Darr said, “not when it means abrogation of existing contracts. It constitutes a violation of the due process and equal protection amend- ments of the Constitution.” Darr also held that Congress had no righ{ to the control under the | interstate commerce clause. He cited | the Supreme Court's view in the Guf- fey coal case that even a commodity | produced for later shipment in inter- state commerce cannot be regulated as such until it is actually in inter- tate commerce. - oo F STREET 'NOW... Ay OTOBER 12, 1936. - LEMKE ABLE MAN, DECLARES BORAH Senator Speaker at Bouié, Idaho, Union Party Rally in Place of Smith. By the Associated Press. BOISE, Idaho, October 12.—Senator Willlam E. Borah, Repubiican, of Idaho told a political meeting here last night he regards the Union party’s presidential nominee, William Lemke, as a ‘“very able, very con- sclentious and very sincere legislator,” His statement was made in response to a questioner in the audience, who asked: 3 “What do you think of Mr. Lemke?" Borah spoke in place of Rev, Gerald L. K. Smith, Lemke campaign speaker, who was unable because of plane con- connections at Spokane, Wash., to keep the engagement here. The meeting hlltll been advertised as a Union party rally. Borah, candidate for a sixth term in the Senate, was introduced by C. A. Oliason of Meridian, Union party State chairman who referred to him as “the greatest asset the State of Idaho has today.” “I am going to advocate those things in thjs campaign which I be- lieve to be best, regardless of whether they cut across party lines,” the Sen- ator asserted. “I have been criticized for not be- ing regular? What is a regular? He is one who has no ideas of his own and waits for some one else to tell him what to do. Speaking on “Amer- icanism,” he urged preservation of the Constitution, Government regulation of currency and emphasized his oppo- gition to American enunzkmexy ina European war.
