In a formal statement, Connally predicted the new measure agreed upon by Senate leaders in place of the President’s court bill, would in- clude a clause “prohibiting the issu- ance of injunctions restraining the enforcement of acts of Congress on the ground of their unconstitutionality by a single judge of the Federal In- ferior Court.” His statement coincided with re- newed proposals from some House members for limiting the Supreme Court's power to invalidate laws de- spite a Senate agreement to take no action involving the Supreme Court. 80 Per Cent for Plan. Representative Dies, Democrat, of ‘Texas, said 80 per cent of the House membership favored a constitutional amendment to let Congress pass on decisions overturning legislation. A two-thirds vote would be required to reinstate such laws.

The Chinese withdrawal of the 37th Division from the Peiping area met Japan's first condition for settling the trouble. Transportation and other activities in the Hopei-Chahar district ap- proached normal for the first time since the tension arose. A Japanese Army officer at Tangku, Tientsin's seaport, declared, however, that “This war is not yet over by any means.” Two Japanese merchantmen were anchored at Tangku unloading light tanks and munitions on the crowded docks that have become a vital part | of Japan's system for bringing men | and war supplies into China by sea.

On the south side of the river fac- ing this hive of Japanese activity more than 5,000 Chinese troops were quartered.

WALKOUT WILL TEST STATE’S LABOR ACT Workers Seeking Shorter Hours, $25 Weekly Wage and Closed Shop. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y., July 24 —The In- ternational Longshoremen's Associa- tion clamped a meat embargo on Buffalo today as Dr. John P. Boland, State Labor Board chairman, called quick conferences in an attempt to settle the four-day strike of 2,000 food handlers. Stewards of the Longshoremen's As- sociation announced they would allow no more meat shipments unloaded in Buffalo after wholesale grocery truck drivers and butchers extended their strike to a fourth meat packing firm Union leaders called a walkout and started a picket line going at Swift & Co.'s plant after Sam Licata, business agent of the United Teamsters’ Union, charged the company's trucks were hauling butter and eggs for whole- sale grocers shutdown by the truck drivers’ strike. Dr. Boland, whose move into the strike was the first use of New York State's new Labor Board set up under a “little Wagner act,” announced the grocery wholesalers and union leaders had agreed to meet with him for an initial mediation conference. Closed Shop Is Issue. After a meeting with employers this morning he said: “The crux of the matter appears to be the closed shop issue.” Dr. Boland, a former Buffalo Cath- olic priest and chairman of the Na- tional Labor Relation Board's regional office here, said he had been sent here as a specially-commissioned mediator of the State Mediation Board because he was familiar with the local situation. A meat truck was overturned and burned slightly in the first violence of the strike. Bitter rivals on the Nation's labor front, the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for In- dustrial Organization have pooled their efforts here to tie up 42 whole- sale butter and egg markets as well as the four meat packing plants.

PAINTERS STRIKE PARLEY ARRANGED Labor Department to Bring Union and Contractors Together Tuesday. BACKGROUND— Two building labor controversies have broken out in Capital during past 10 days as construction unions Jought open-shop contractors on both District and Federal jobs District dispute seems settled, with tied-up work scheduled for resumption on Monday. Federal controversy, carried on by painters’ union, is still under negotiation. Officials of the conciliation service | | of the Labor Department today rolled | | up their sleeves and prepared to bring | | contractors and union spokesmen to- gether for face-to-face negotiations | aimed at settlement of the painters’ | | strike against Federal projects here let through the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department. | First such direct engagement be- | tween the parties involved in the con- | troversy was tentatively scheduled for | next Tuesday as Howard T. Colvin, | conciliation officer, requested William | | Wilson of the Atlanta firm of William Wilson & Sons to come here for con- ferences on that day. The Wilson firm, holding contracts | | for painting and plastering jobs at | the City Post Office and the Internal | Revenue Building, is charged by the | local painters’ union with refusing to | hire union men at prevailing union wage and hour standards. To Stay Off Work. In connection with the latter charge, Colvin is expected to refer the con- | tractor to the recent ruling by Sec- | retary of Labor Perkins that all| classifications of construction work | must be paid for at a predetermined rate, regardless of the type of workmen | | put on the job. In other words, labor- ers assigned to do skilled work must | be paid skilled workmen's wages rath- | er than laborers’ wages as alleged | against some of the open shop firms. The ruling by the Secretary was given in connection with public con- | tracts Jet by the District government and was instrumental in settling a controversy which had tied up work on three local school jobs Pending Tuesday's conference, the painters, supported by the glaziers' local, will remain off work on Pro- curement Division projects here. They have returned o jobs on private proj- ects and public contracts not handled | by the division after & 24-hour city- | wide strike earlier this week. Probe Under Way. Insistent throughout that the con- troversy was between the union and the contractors, officials of the Pro- | curement Division are not expected to take part in next week's negotiations. Colvin said he hopes to effect a| settlement with the Wilson firm flrst; and then take up the same dispute as | it involves the New York City firm of Coones & Raptis, which also holds a | contract for work at the City Post| Office. On another front, the charge of discrimination against union painters is being investigated by the regional office of the National Labor Relations Board. The inquiry was requested by Bryce P. Holcombe, business agent of the painters’ union, and Harry S. Wender, union attorney, FREIGHT WRECKED Freight House Damaged When 15 Cars Leave Track. AMSTERDAM, N.

Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md, July 24— Hyattsville is in arms, awaiting the next call of a “dawn burglar” who has been terrorizing the city for nearly three weeks, during which he has Tobbed at least one home every night. His latest call was at the home of C. Hodges Carr, Hyattsville merchant, living on Owens avenue, at 5:45 a.m. today. Carr, who had brought his shotgun home from his store in ex- pectation of the visit, was prevented from shooting at the man by his wife. - The fact that in each instance of housebreaking the trousers of the male members of the household have been carried into the hall, rified and left there led police to believe one man has perpetrated all of them.

Seven Victims of Blazin g Car To Be Buried in Single Grave| BY a Staff Correspondent of The Star. LAUREL, Md., July 24—A blessed candle burning in their parlor was the sole material reminder in the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lammers today that sudden death had shattered the quiet happiness of their lives, The candle symbolized the simple creed of the elderly couple in ever- lasting life for the seven young mem- bers of their family whose mortal lives were snuffed out in a few minutes of blazing automobile wreckage early yesterday With this faith to bolster them, Mr. and Mrs. Lammers accepted with quiet dignity the will of their Maker in causing death to enter their home. It was the first time in their more than 40 years of married life that one of their 13 children had been lost. “There's no use of fighting against it,” Mrs. Lammers said. “We can't even realize what it means yet.” The seven victims of the tragic automobile accident on the Crain Highway yesterday will be buried in one vault and in one grave at the St. Mary’s Church cemetery in Laurel tomorrow afternoon. 8ix of the bodies were little more than bone and ashes. Three of the dead were children of | the Henry Lammers. These were | Bernard Lammers, 21, and his two | sisters, Pauline, 29, and Mildred, 19 ‘The others were Anna May Lammers, 13, a niece of the other children; Frances Haker, 17, a cousin, and Prancis Baldwin, 14, and David Man- ning, 7, their nephews. The young persons were on their way home from a carnival at Glen Burnie, Md, when they apparently missed the road and stopped to turn their automobile around. A truck driven by B. M.

INGOME TAX DEATH PREDICTED WHEN HOUSE ACTS Heavy Land Levy Also Is Seen Doomed in Confer- ence Next Week. AGREEMENT EXPECTED ON BORROWING CLAUSE Senate Votes to Reduce Proposed Inheritance and Estate Payments Here. BACKGROUND— Pending District deficit brought Congress to decision to impose new taxes on local residents rather than increase Federal contribution to Nation’s Capital. Individual income, sales, busi- ness privilege and real estate levies have been favored at various times. House and Senate have approved widely divergent bills with differ- ences now left to conferees. BY J. A. O'LEARY. The District tax bill is headed toe ward conference today with indicae tions the House will refuse to accept the income tax and heavy land levy approved by the Senate when it passed the ever-changing revenue measure late yesterday. Assuming that the House will send the bill to conference when .it meets Monday, managers for the two branches of Congress will get toe gether next week in an effort to vage from the House and Senate measures a compromise tax schedule that would meet the city's impending $7.000,000 deficit. They are expected to agree also on a borrowing clause adopted by the Senate, to enable the Treasury to ad= vance operating expenses to the Dise trict until local revenues are collected, thereby preventing payless paydays for District employes. Representative Kennedy, Democrat, of Maryland, who drafted the original tax measure, predicted last night that the House would remain firm in its opposition to the income tax, which went back in the bill yesterday when a barrage of senatorial opposition forced elimination of the 2 per cent luxury sales tax. What Bill Contains. When the final vote was taken in the Senate here is what the bill cone tained: Income tax with rates graduated from 1 per cent on net income up to $2,000, increasing gradually to a maxe imum of 5 per cent on the amount of net income above $50,000. Estimated net yield, $2,200,000. A rate of $2.50 per hundred on the value of all taxable land in the Dis- trict and continuation of the $1.50 rate on buildings. The boost on land is estimated to raise $4,800,000. The inheritance and estate taxes, with the House rates reduced. Yield, $800,000. Revision of the personal tax collee- tion machinery, estimated to increase collections on intangible property by $500,000. The weight tax on motor vehicles, ranging from $5 to $12 on pleasure | cars, and from $15 to $150 on trucks, estimated to yield $1,500,000. The Thomas amendment authoriz- ing, but not compelling, the Com- missioners to install automobile park- Ing meters on congested streets, yield depending on number of meters in | use. During the debate Senators were under the impression the income tax proposal would raise $5,000,000, and this estimate repeatedly was used in support of the motion. District offi- cials explained last night, however, that intangible personal property tax payments under existing law would be deductible, and these amount to $2,800,000, leaving the yield from the income tax $2,200,000. The bill as it stands would require District residents to pay nearly $10,= 000,000 more in taxes & year. The $1,500,000 from the motor vehicle weight tax goes into the special high= way maintenance fund, which now consists only of the gasoline tax. This, however, still leaves more than $8, 000,000 of estimated new revenue for the general fund, in which the deficit exists. Even if the Budget Bureau and Congress approve a pending esti~ mate of $389.000 as the District's share of rebuilding the Washington (See TAX BILL, Page A3, Miners Rescued After 4 Hours In Coal Cave-In ‘Knew From the Start We'd Be Saved,’” Say Pottsville Men.
