WILL BE ANNOUNCED Corman ‘Convinced’ That Strike Will Be Most Successful. WASHINGTON.—(#)—The Nat ijonal Labor Relations Board ap- parently is ready today to inter- vene swiftly to avert a convulsion in the gigantic textildd industry. The board watched closely as strike leaders in North and South, acting on secret instructions from the United Textile Workers here, perfected plans | for a national walkout which they say may even tually involve 800,000 workers. Authoritative information is that ‘the secret order sets the date of the walkout as September 4, the day after Labor Day. Other sources, however, hold that the strike will be called on or before next Saturday, the original “dead line.” To Make Date Public Francis J. Gorman, chairman of the national strike committee, expects to make the date public shortly. The position of the union leaders as outlined today is that although they are willing to dis cuss the matter with the National Labor Relations Board, they are not willing to postpone the strike pending negotiations. : Only a definite settlement of their demands, they say, will bring peace. These include an end to the “stretch-out” system of re quiring workers to tend more ma chines, wage improvements, and a halt to “discrimination” against union men. The industry, denying the union’s accusation, says the cotton textile code has increased employment and boosted payrolls. The union leaders say the strike order will affect 500,000 workers in cotton factories, and that 300, 000 persons may be called from their jobs later in silk, rayon and woolen industries. Gorman said he had no doubt the strike actually would takg place. Convinced of Success “I am fully convinced,” he ssaid, “that the strike not only will ma terialize but will be successful.” The labor board—called the “su preme court” of labor and headed by Lloyd Garrison—is expected to do everything to bring peace in a situation which carries a threat to the Roosevelt recovery pro gram. The board, however, cannot compel arbitration. Gorman and Garrison _have con ferred several times, and are ex pected to meet again today. Definite word that the date for the strike had heen settled was sent to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor by Gorman last night. He wrote: “The general strike committee of the United Textile Workers hav ing agreed upon a date for a na tion-wide stoppage of work in cotton textile mills. and strike orders having been sent to all local unions, subject to release, it seems advisable to report to you for your information in some de- (Continued on Fage TWo) President Goes to West Point Today to Make Inspections By FRANCIS M.

HITLER PLEDGES SUPPORT TO SAAR Says ‘“Whole German Na tion Behind You'’ in Ple biscite to Be Held. EHRENBREITSTEIN, Germany— () — The Saar territory, soon to participate in a momentous pleb iscite, had the word of Chancellor Hitler today that “the whole Ger man nation is behind you.” More than half a million per song jammed together here yester day for a great demonstration of loyalty to the Saar and to give Hitler a tremendOug ovation. It is inevitable, Hitler said, that the Reich region would vote Jan uary 13 to return to Germany, in preference to remaining under the mandate of the League of Nationg or becorming part of France. He said ' this should yimprove Franco- German relations.’ “The Saar ig the greatest prob lem now separating France from us,” he asserted. “We shall not give up the conviction that the other side eventually will view this problem as it really is and that France will not deny her assist ance in solving it. “Phere is no reason whatever why two great nations should re main forever hostile on this issue.” : NOT A CANDIDATE SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—(#)—Formal announcement was made today that Mrs. Henry T.

FREIGHT RATES Petition Is Presented By * Railway Executives This Morning. : Action |s Promoted By, Restoration of 10 Pct. Cut in Wages. 1 WASHINGTON—(#)—The larger railroads of the country asked the interstate ccmmerce, commission today to autuorize an $170,000,000 increase in the nation’s freight bill. Citing ' mounting costs, they pleaded for 4 general increase on every commodity and class of freight, ranging upward to 10 per cent on first class freight. They said an estimated $293,000,000 in crease in costs In 1935 would “jeopardize the solvency of .a larger number of . important rail way systems” unless relief is given. The proposed boosts touch all manufactured products, ma jor farm products which in recent years have . been exempted from increases, and products of forest and mine. The petition was offered by the association of Railway Executives for all class 1 carriers—railroads doing $1,000,000 or more business a year. Similar petitions will be presented to all state railroad commissions, the proposal being to raise intrastate rates also. An early hearing ig asked. . The roads ask an increase of 3 cents per 100 pounds on grain and grain products except in the East where there would be no raise; 3 to 30 cents a ton on coal and 3 to 45 cents on coke; 10 per, cent on cotton with a maximum of § cents per 100 pounds; 10 per cent on to+ bacco with a maximum of 4 cents, and other products in proportion. There are some exceptions in the far west and in sections where truck competition is keen. Some rates which were raised Aug. 20 are exempted. The action is promoted, sayg the petition, by the restoration of the DR SANFORD WILL PRESENT TALMADGE University President to Introduce Governor Here on September 10th.

Smith-Roosevelt Standing Occupying Capital Minds Politicians = Wonder |f “Frank' and ““"Al’” Have Parted for Cood. By EDWARD J.

Past .alliances and the present distance hetween Mr. Roosevelt and his predecessor as Democratic presidential nominee have ceased to arouse much comment of late. but the Smith affiliations with the new forum for property interests; and the White House hints that this organization forgets the rights of people in its uneasiness over the prospects for property, (Continued on page two.)

FARMERS TO GET BILLION IN 1934 Estimated AAA Will Dis tribute That Amount By End of This Year. WASHINGTON—(#)—More than $1,000,000,000 ig destined to go into the pockets of the nation’s farm ers through the AAA before the end of 1985. Cotton, tobacco, wheat and corn- hog benefit payments will total $779,402,000, officials estimated to day. Of this sum $282,882519.21 had been paid out up to August 25. Of the latter payments cotton farmers have received the lion’s share, $152,510,793. ‘Wheat farm ers netted §567,781,951, corn-hog farmers $46,815988, and tobacco growers $15,773,785. In addition to the $779,402,000— which is being paid out to farmers for controlling production — cattle raiserg will net about $120,000,000 and sheepmen approximately $7,- 500,000 by selling drought-stricken animals to the government. This raises the tota] ior farm adjust mens close to $1,000,000,000. The figures do not include ben efit paymentg under the sugar pro gram which is still being drafted. These aré expected to boost the outlay well above the billion dollar figure. : » Two Planes Search For Missing Pilot Who Carried Mail ALBUQUERQUE, N.

HIFT BETWEEN NAA HEAD AND OFFICIALS FIRST KNOWN TODAY Administrator Walks Out Of Conference At White House Last Monday. DISPUTE IS SETTLED Reported Difference With Richberg Is Given As Cause of Trouble. (Copyright, 1934, By The Asso- ciated Pre_ss) WASHINGTON, — The deep seated character of NRA’S latest trouble became apparent today when it was learned that general Hugh S. Johnson angrily walked out on last Monday's White House conference, resigned in writh};. and reconsidered only on the firm insistence of President Roosevelt. The dispute arose over an NRA reorganization plan submiited to the president by Donald Rishberg, the NRA ‘counsel, and Krances Perkins, the secretarv of Labor, Among othe, things, the plan was interpreted by Johnson as contem plating his own retirement to pri vate life. PN The general walked out when Mr. Roosevelt, seeking to sooth the ruffled spirits of his conferees, suggested that a decision be post poned, while Johnson took a rest and a trip to Europe. v ‘ The reconciliation, so far as Johnson is concerned, was consum mated just before Mr. Roosevelt’s departure Saturday for Hyde park. Under its terms Johnson stays on as administrator and probably will become, later on, chairman of a board controlling NRA. ) The implications respecting Mr. Richberg and Miss Perkins are less clear. Richberg's friends say he will remain the NRA counsel, al though there will be no further doubt that Johnson is boss, Miss Perkins is expected to confine hee activties more closely to the labo#® department, ¢ ' The nsde story of the incident, ‘as related to the Associated Press 'authoritively, is this: . Relations between Johnson and Richberg, although outwardly friendly, have been undergoing a change over a period of months. Johnson had heard whispers that people were saying it really was Richberg who ruled NRA. On his side, Richberg felt slighted when Johnson, last June, submitted & reorganization plan to the ngg House without giving him a copy. Acting under the president’s later authorization to draft a pro= gram for general coordination of all recovery activities. Richbers prepared plans of his own far NRA. Miss Perkins became Intere@2 because of the labor angles. Tos gether they saw the presideng last Monday. el Latér that day they were asked to return. Johnson also was pres sent. He told the president blm that he felt an effort was hein made to drive him out of NRAs There were denials and further words, Finally, Mr. Roosevelt sugs gested that the general needed & real rest after his unremitting sers vice, and might taxe a vacation trip abroad, surveying me;(@gm recovery eforts in Europe. .. & o Johnson exploded.
