President Green s Urg ing Mediation in Quar rels With Capital. WASHINGTON.— (AP} — Old jurisdictional problems plus new ones added by the Recovery Act promise to fulfill predictions that the American Federation of Labor convention starting Monday will be at least as momentous as those during war days. Some important problems sched uled “or consideration during the, fifty-third annual convention are: An executive countil report that NRA wages must be higher and hours shorter, with a 30-hour week likely for adoption, ‘ Relief for the unemployed. Spreading unionization under NRA codes. Speeding the public works pro gram Collective barganing policies un der the NRA, including strikes. Election of ' a president, with William Green considered certain to succeed himself, .~ ‘ Green |s Hopeful | This was the forecast of its offi cers and Green was hopeful a lit»{ tle adept reasoning would induce‘ the approximately 500 delegates to lay aside their factional dis putes and work together in a re covery war as they had in the last real war, He and his aides were confront ed wiht a number of major prob lems, among them the contentions} of many that the recovery program is moving too slowly and that only a forceful show of strength, pos-l sibly through strikes, will bring the desired speed. { Already Green has issued an“ appeal that organized workers use strikes only as a last resort, after‘ taking their problems to the new federal agencjes—llabor boards—set up to mediate between employer and employe. But thousands of workers still remain on strike. Delay Is Criticized Further, some of Green’s aides held that the annual report of the Federation executive ecouncil had not made his work any easier, for the council held that all the re tovery codes now operating must be revised to assure higher wages and shorter hours. It added, too, a criticism of delay in the expendi ture of money omn public works, ending ‘with the statement that “We urge action.” : Federation officers predicted the convention will again approve a resolution demanding a 6-hour day, 5-day-week for all workers.

World Series Opens Tuesday Between Giants and Senators Last Minute Odds on Washington Drop When N. Y. Money Comes in. } By HERBERT W. BARKER . Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK — (#) — The New York Giants and Washington Sen ators prepared for a last minute “fire drill” Monday before they | plunge into the blazing competi tion of wrorld series combat in the polo grounds Tuesday. ; An overnight flood of New Yorks money had forced the betting odds,| favoring the Senators, down to o to 5 from 10 to 7, with prospects| of a further shortening ‘to even| money unless stronger support de-| veloped for the American league| champions. ! ’ The swing toward the Giantsj and indications that the ticket] sales for the first two games in/ New_ York, Tuesday and Wedqes-l day, have not come up to expecta- | tions, took all the play away from’ the actual competitors and their| pre-series practice sessions slated for the Polé grounds this fafter-l noon. | “The Giants’ business office an nounced Sunday that beginning at 9 a. m. Monday reserved seats would be sold separately for either the first or second games. This Tuling reverses the Giants’ previous policy of disposing of tickets only in strips of three, covering the first, second and sixth i games. i ‘Washington announced soverall days ago that single game seats’ would be sold for the three games] which will be played there Thurs ay, Friday and Saturday. The shift in betting odds failed to perturb Joe Cronin, youthful manager of the Washington club.

LOS ANGELES.—(AP)—A sharp earthquake of short duration, ap parently centered in the Pacific ocean or the desert, awakened residents from Santa Barbara to Long Beach at 1:10 a, m. Mon day, and caused the injury of four persons in Los Angeles and a light property damage,. ‘ i The telephone companies and ‘railroads, three hours ~after the ‘shock, reported they had no re !ports of extensive damage or any ‘deaths.

MACON, GA, —#)— Willlam Lawrence (Young) Stribbling, heavyweight boxer, his ring career ended by the amputation of his left foct as the resulf of an automobile accident Sunday today was fight ing for his life. Fate wrote a tragiosfinish to the boxing career of the' former con tender for the world’s heavyweight champidénship who fought every middleweight and heavyweight ti tleholder of the past 10 years, And today, with his physicians giving him a ‘6O-50" chance to live the 29 year old fighter wag wag ing his greatest fight to gain a verdict over injuries received in a highway accident which cost him his left foot and a fractured pelvis, . “Pa” and “Ma” at Bedside His mother and father reached his bedside early Monday morning.

Her family physician informed her of Stribling’g injuries, which also in cluded a fractured pelvis. ! She was permitted te speak to him after an x-ray had been taken, she bore up well after the ex changed greetings, Later she saw him again. . “How'g the baby” Stribling asked “Fine,” she replied. / Mrs, Stribling was crying when she was wheeled back to her room.

They were to make a more com plete examination later in the day. The injured leg was the same {one that causéd Stribling trouble. He suffered an ‘injury to the left knee while training for a match in England and there was some doubt that he would be able to box again, but he tried it out later and ;found it working to his satisfac {tion. A motoreycle—one of Stribling’s pei hobbies—was the instrument which proved his undoing. He was astride his machine enroute from a golf course to a hospital here Sunday to visit his wife and their third child, born two weeks ago, at the time of the accident. Traveling at 35 miles an hour, the “King of ‘the _Canbrakes” waved a greeting to a friend ap proaching #n an automobile and apparently failed to see another car behind that of his friend, Roy Barrow, of Macon. Crushed by Car The ring veteran who packed 300 engagements into 15 years of fighting without receiving a per manent scar, attempted to dodge the second car but he wag too late. The fender of the automobile struck Stribling, crushing his left leg and sending him sprawling to the pavement.
