WASHINGTON.—With almost
he whole American Federation of
abor organization in San Fran
isco for the annual convention,
eadquarters here is pretty much
qmed over exclusively to “Labor’s
Brain Trust.”
You didn’'t know organized labor
had 2 prain trust?
well, it has. The current vogue
¢ turning to the colleges for aca
femically trained help is by no
eans confined to the government
br to industry.
Labor's brain trust isn’'t called
hat—it's known as the research
tafi—but it comes to the samel
hing. |
This staff was formed more|
nan a 4 year ago to prepare labor’s |
Lide of the argument when thei
odes were formed. Now that they
bre completed, it continues to
metion in keeping unions in
omed on code developments, !
ompliance, and interpretation.
The three principal members are
il college graduates of compara
ively recent years, and represent
kome of the ‘mew blood” which is
boine infused in the Federation in
uch guantities’ of late. i
They are Boris Shishkin (Co
umbia), Marjorie Clark (Wiscon
i and Nebraska), and W, £
biolden (Harvard) . l
Shishkin, Russian-born, worked !
n the construction, a]uminum,'
betroleum, shipping, cleaning and
iveing, lumber, and fabricated{
Inetals codes.
Viss Clark specialized on autos, !
butber, furniture, textile, and can-}
bing codes. She has lived in Mex- |
ico, and has a book forthcoming |
0 the labor movement thepe.
Holden handled the metal min
ine wheat liour milling, cement.
palt, and electrical manufac'turingl
odes.
Much discussion now going on
in the San Francisco convention
i< crounded on the research and
bractical experience of this “Labor
prain Trust.” of which you hear
ittle, but whose facts and figures:
nd direct contact with the unionsl
in the field are a sort of “ammu- |
ition dump” for the battles now |
being fought on the labor front. I

The Federal Trade Commission
is “cracking down” on “civil ser-l

courses.
They haven't, and though the
government has no objections to
courses that prepare applicants
Bior civil service ‘examinations, it's
out after the ones that give an |
impression that they control the
jobs
Right now, far instance, there
are 40,000 men and women taking

Cairo, Ga., Lightheavy Is

In Some Circles
BOTH FIGHTERS READY
First Bout Tonight at
Franks’ Arena Wil
Start at 8:30
By F. M. WILLIAMS
Professional boxing, which has
entertained thousands of rabid
fans during the last few months
that it has been progessing in this
city, will reach a thrilling climax
tonight, when two great battlers
hurl themselves from their corners
to stage what ghould be the best
battle that has ever been held here
as Earle Johnson, of Atlanta, meets
the Southern champion, Joe
Knight of Cairo, Georgia, and Mia
mi, Florida in a ten round battle at
Franks arena, located on the cor
ner of Foundry and Oconee streets,
at 8:30.
Both boys are well known, and
the fight is expected'tvp thrili the
record-breaking throng that will
turn out from the start until the
finish. The admission will be $1.50
for a ringside ticket, and 75 cents
for other seats. |
Knight, probably the best de
fensive fighter in his class in the
world. will be the favorite to take
the match, but the 21-year old
Johnson is out to make himself
known to the boxing world, and
may spring an upset. One can
never tell.
“Ready To Go”
“I'm in great condition, and
will be ready to go when the bell
rings tonight,” said the popular
Knight this morning. “I realize
that T am in for a battle, and I
wil] attempt to end it as quick as
it can be done,” he continued.
Johnson did not have much to
say, but stated that he w=2s iln
shape for the fight, which he hoped
to win, and that he would give
Knight a great battle. “‘l'm out to
make the fight of my life, and it
Knight whips me he will know he
has been in a battle,” said John
son. ;
Botp fighters went through a
light workout in Memorial hall
vesterd2y aftornoon, and the large
crowd that witnessed the workouts
went agway shaking their heads at
the ‘cleverness of Knight, and the
hard-hitting of Johnson.

IOWA FARMERS TO
I
VOTE ON CONTROL
e |
Referendum This Week
Expected to Influence
AAA in Future Course
S o
DES MOINES —(AP) — The
farm administrations question—-I
“dp you want to continue controll
ed agriculture?’ — is being ars
wered by lowa farmers at the polls
this week.
The poll is a part of the national
referendum which the AAA is con
‘ducting to obtain direct farm sen
timent on whether another agricul
ture adjustment program is want
ed.
The AAA is asking farmers to
vote “yes” or “no” to twu ques
tions:
“Do you favor an adjustment
program dealing with corn and
hogs in 1935?” and “do you favor a
one contract per farm adjustment
program dealing with grain and
livestock to become effective in
1936?”
* Towa'y answers to these ques
tions, although they will not act
ually determine the future course
of the farm administration, gre €x
pected to bear great weight with
the AAA, since this is the nation’s
largest corn and hog producing
state.
Farmers in general apparently
favor the production adjustment
idea. although many have objected
to the administration’s methods of
aceomplishing it.
Farm leaders themselves hold
divergent views on the poll. Mile
Reno, champion of the minority
groups—the farm union and farm
holjdy association—dismisses the
referendum with the words:
«The AAA will control the polls
and determine the votes. Tt (the
réferendum) doesn’t mean a thing.*

tensfon gerviece and Chairman R.
M. Evans of the corn-hog commit

Ceorgia Governor Advo
cates Merchant Marine
In Louisville Speech
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—(®)—A strong
merchant marine as a safeguard
against war was advocated Mon
day by Governor Eugene Tal
madge of Georgia in an address
before the national convention of
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The governor, who is honorary
chairman of the national maritime
league, told the veterans transpor
tation facilities at the outbreak of
the World War would have mater
ially shortened the conflict and
asked “how long will we ceontinue
to go on without providing for an
adequate merchang marine”
“Merchant seamen have render
ed valuable service in every con
flict in which the United States has
been engaged,” he .said. *“Side by
gide with the veterans in every war
has been the merchant seamen.
The seaman, like members of your
organization, has served abroad. He
is the instrument- which makes
foreign sorvice possible.”
Reviewing the nistory of ship
ping, he said that early recogni
tion of the value of seapower “is
found in the fact that the very first
laws passed by congress concerned
the development of this form of‘
transportatiorn.” |
fWhen the World War broke, |
we had just 17 vessels engaged in
foreign trade. These were immed
jately impressed into service. Oth
er tonnage was seized, bought,;
commandeered and requisitioned
wherever it could be found. ,
“‘Ships, ships and more ships’
rang the cry. Perhaps never in
history of civilizatlon were ships

American Tragedy’’ Trial
Is Attracting Interest
Over Entire Nation
y b
BY LEO W. SHERIDAN
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — () —
The commonwealth summoned
more than a score vr witnesses to
day in an effort to prove that
Robert .‘}llep Edwards blackjacked
Freda McKechnie to death as they
swam in Harvey’s Lake.
It was Pennsylvania’s ‘“American
Tragedy’’ trial, with the prosecu
‘tion charging that the 21-year-old
mine surveyor plotted one sweet
heart’s death so that he might
marry another. F¥Freda was the
home town girl; Miss Margaret
Crain, the friend of college days.
Fredas body was found floating
in the lake after she and Edwards
had gone swimming during a rain
storm the night of July 30.
Harold Flannery, assistant dis
;trict attorney, told the jury last
night that the prosgecution will
prove Edwards promised to marry
Miss Crain whiie plotting the death
of the other girl. !
“We will show the intimacies of
these two,” Flannery shouted. “We
will show what was back of this
crime. And we demand the ex
treme penalty—the electric chair.”
It was then that the flushed
vouth moved for the first time dur
ing Flannery's address.
Today District Attorney Thomas
M. Lewis will open the testimony
by ecalling upon County Detective
Richard Howell, a neighbor of the
Bdwards and the McKechnies. He
will trace his investigation back
séveral vears when Hdwards and
Freda ' met while working in 2

State’s attorneys decline to say
whether an effort will be made to

She said:
‘“They had been very friendly
before Bobby went to Mansfield
college. After that their corres

She said Ferda had “another bov
friend, George Thomas,” but she

. TOKYO—(®)—An official army
pamphlet which urged Japan 'to
make ready for a possible war with
Russia spread uneasiness among
the nation’s economic leaders to
- day.
This was reflicted on the stock
exchange. Leading shares declined
on an average of two yen ({(about
60 cents.) -
Newspapers said members of the
cabinet as well as civilians were
taken back by the army’s surpris
ing manifesto, which proposed
drastic changes in the nation's
weanomic life and in non-military
government departments.
It asserted the United States has
three airplanes to Japan's ons and
that America wanted a 2 navy larger
than this country’s in order to sup
pory vigorous policies toward the
Orient.
Newspapers asserted Ceneral
Senjuro Hayashi, minister of war,
would be questioned at the next
cabinet meeting about responsibi
-lity for authorship of the pamph
let. Political writers predicted the
statement would be a grave politi
cal issue at the impending specll!
session of the diet. <
A war office spokesman, asked if
the pamphlets were approved by
General Hayashi, who is now tray
eling in western Japan, declined
to reply but said “I can state that
the pamphlet expresses the vww_q'
of the Japanese army.” o
The pamphlet said the strength
~of the Japanese army prevented the
Soviet from interfering 'wltkfl
