PICKARD RESIDENT ROOSEVELT extended no olive branches toward the Amer- ican Federation of Labor when he signed the cigarette Industry code, . which labor leaders had declared was ‘‘un- satisfactory.” The breach between the ad- ministration and labor is daily growing wider, The code, finally signed after montirs of argument between the tobacco industry and labor, calls for a forty- hour week and mini- a mum wages from 25 to 8. Clay 40 cents an hour. La- Williams bor leaders also ob- Jected to the presence of 8. Clay Wil llams, administration board chairman, who they declare Is not in sympathy with labor. The President issued a curt statement Informing the federation council that Willlams' services had been satisfactory and that he had no intention of removing him without cause, The executive council of the federa- tion, composed of Willlam Green and presidents of the federation of seven. teen International unions, states that some present administration labor poll- cles are bringing Increased unrest among workers which may reach the danger point of widespread strikes un- less corrected. Thus far, the President seems to have had the best of the argument Labor leaders, however, are expected to push the fight for a “prevalling wage” claube in work rellef legislation, thus endangering the administration program. NQUIRIES into the causes of the “quiver” which ripped away the two gas cells and caused the giant dirigible “Macon” to plunge Into the Pacific has Leen started. Even the surviving 81 officers and men of the “Sky Queen” are not certain just what caused the catastrophe, although Lieut. Com. H. ¥Y. Wiley, survivor of the Akron dis aster and master of the Macon, was said to have “some ideas” about it. His findings will be placed before the board of Inquiry. Some hints were made about struc tural weakness of the $2.450000 eraft, but naval officers refused to discuss the subject, In Washington President Roosevelt sald there would be no Im- mediate move to replace the ship. Survivors of the crash told a dra matic story of heroism. Cruising along at a speed of 63 knors, the ship twice lowered its elevation to avoid rain squalls. A short jar was felt, the ship began to take a bow-up position, and Commander Wiley received a re port that one of the 12 hellum gas cells was gone. The Macon then rose rapidly to 4.000 feet, its nose stick ing up at a sharp angle and then slow- ly sank toward the ocean as the crew made frantic efforts to right the lurch- ing craft As it hit the ocean the crew slid down ropes or dived Into the heavy swells Men swam through flame where flares had ignited oil and gaso line, others rescued companions whose lifebelts were lost or broken In long leaps into the sea. The sallors watched the ship crumble under the waves and at last disappear. Only two men were lost. Cruisers rushed to the scene and picked up the survivors. : RUNO HAUPTMANN will dle In the electric chair at Trenton, N.

The prisoner showed no trace of emotion as the Jurors announced their verdict and did not break under the strain until after Justice Trenchard had pronounced sen- tence, and he was returned to the cell There, his iron will gave way and he sobbed as he sat on his hard iron cot.

Witnesses testified that MeCarran's amendment would have increased the cost of putting 3,500,000 men to work by more than $2,000,000000 and would have defeat ed the purpose of the bill, MeCarran did not press his amend. ment In committee when a substitute was offered, but insists that he will do #0 on the senate floor, The fight the American Federation of Labor is mak- ing on this point Is expected to have considerable Influence with a pumber of senators, who fear the wrath of their labor constituents. The substitute, proposed by Senator Richard B. Russell, and adopted by a vote of 14 to 9, provides that the President shall establish the prevalling rates of pay whenever an investigation discloses that the federal wages of $50 a month are affecting adversely the rates on work of a similar nature. The matter Is entirely up to the President, however, and he can take ary action or withhold any investigation, just as he sees fit, which may mean much or nothing. REMIER MUSSOLINI found Em- peror Halle Selassie of Ethiopia is a man not easily frightened. Il Duce's demands for indemnities for Italian colonials killed on the borders of Ital- fan Somaliland were politely, but firm- ly, refused. The Ethloplans, undis- mayed by the vast preparations Italy has been making, declared they would fight to their last drop of:blood to pre serve thelr Independence, that they would not apologize or make repara- tions for what they maintain Is merely defense of their own country. This puts Mussolini In an embarrassing po- sition. He must either send an ex- peditionary force against the Ethio. plans, or back down after mobilizing troops, and that would be a bitter pill for the Italian dictator to swallow, HANCELLOR HITLER from his hermit-like seclusion with a number of counter-proposals which he offered in reply to the Franco -Brit- ish Der Fuehrer, # govern ment spokesman stat- ed, would definitely re- fuse to join any pact Austria's proposals. guaranteeing will of trian people Is consulied™ by the “the of n plebiscite termine whether that nation desires an “anschiuss™” (unlon) with the German Hitler will also follow Poland's to de Chancellor Hitler reich, the French sponsored eastern securities agreement “if it Is to be based on mu tual assistance.” although he is w.lling to Join an alr pact provided it allows Germany an air force equal to Soviet tussia’s. Hitler seems partienlarly anx- ious to avoid any agreement which would bind Germany to Russia and per- haps result In alding Russia In event of war between that country and Japan. From the tone of Hitler's demands, he evidently did not entirely believe that France and Great Britain were not preparing some trap for him. The Hitler reply demands that Germany must be given absolute equality of armaments before anything else can be discussed, and that Germany will ne gotiate an air pact If her relations with Soviet Hussia are considered, and if England, France, Belgium and Italy agree to consult each other before any action is taken. He also insists that the general question of disarmament is allied with the air pact and must be settled at the same time, When notified that Der Relchfuehrer would make reservations, official Brit ish sources Indicated that Germany must either accept or reject the agree ment In its entirety, and stated partial acceptance would not be agreeable to Great Britain.

It was reported the Bolivians, strug- gling desperately to relieve the pres sure on Villa Montes, had defeated the Parsguagans in the Nancorainza sec tor “after three days of bitter fighting.” This offensive, it was thought, might force Estigarribia’s northern wing to retreat, RANCIS BIDDLE and his national labor relations board took a hand in the controversy between the admin istration and the American Federation of Labor by offering a suggestion that section T-A of the recovery act “should be clarified” William Creen and his fellow leaders of the federation have long contended that the clause, guar anteeing employees rights to bargain collectively, should be enlarged to specify that the majority of employees should have the right to choose the spokesmen for all employees, and that company unions should be barred. The national labor board, which submitted a report of its first six months’ work, defended the majority rule at length. As is well known, the administration desires mection T-A continued une changed in the sew NRA law which is in the process of making. ITH the full approval of the ad- ministration, the army and navy are to receive $40,000,000 to carry out a program of national defense which will consist mainly of Improved strong: holds on the west coast and In the Pa- cific. The money, which will be shared equally by the two departments, comes from a $£300,000,000 public works fund, Some of the navy's part will be spent along the Atlantle, but the greater part will go for shipyards, dry docks and bases on the Pacific const, at Pearl har bor, Hawall, and at Coco Solo, Canal Zone, which is a submarine base. Nearly $11,000,000 of the army's share Is to be used in beginning the construction of a great alr base in Hawall. The total cost of this base is estimated at $18,000,000, The decision to use most of the money in the Pacific was sald to have been influenced by the fact that the fleet has been concentrated in Pacific waters during much of the past two years, Navy officlals stressed before the naval committee, that facilities on the coast are inadequate. Japan is supposed not to be alarmed by this program, congressional leaders having given public and careful assur- ance that no “offense” is Intended and that such propositions as the Hawall alr base would have been put forward even if Japan had not denounced the Washington naval treaty. At a meeting of the army high com- mand with the military committee of the house these plans for defense were threshed out thoroughly. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff, recommend- ed to the committee the purchase of 800 new armored and equipped air planes at a cost of £00.000000 to give the army the aerial armada of 2320 modern aircraft recommended by the iaker aviation committee.

Soon Pacific, after this meeting the com- manders of these three divisions were announced by Brig. Gen Frank M. An- drews, head of the GHQ air force. Lieut. Col, H. H.
