In Biloxi, Miss.
OMAHA, Neb, — (&) — A de

entire Nebraska national guard
mobilized to enforce it was the
reply of authorities Saturday night
to tram strike violence which has
caused one death and injuries to
80 othprs here in the past thred
nights,
Acting swiftly after a long dis
tance telephone conversation with
Governor R. L. Cochrah, who is in
Gulfport, Miss., Lieut. Governor
Walter H, Jurgensen, acting chief
executive, at Lincoln issued the
' proclamation of martial law for
‘Omaha and Adjustant General H.
J. Paul immediately directed mobi
lization of 1,800 troops in all parts
of the state.
The Omaha units of the guards
under command of Brig. Gen. Amos
‘Thomas were first on the scene.
~ 'The state authorities intervened
when, officials of city and courty
requested aid to maintain peace
following Friday night's climactic
battle between police and strike
sympathizers in which one man was
killed and more than 35 others were
injured.
Wire For Help
| Mayor Roy N. Towl of Omaha
land Sheriff John Hopkins of Doug
las county had telegraphed Jurgen
sen:
“Situation in Omaha beyond con
trol of local authorities. Hundreds
are arming and planning attack on
car barns and business establish
mets, One killed and 90 injured
last night. Police and sheriff's
force wholly inadequate to cope
with the situation. Intervention of
national guards forthwith impera
tively necessary to prevent serious
Iloss of life and property. We here
by respectfully request such inter-
Ivention in time to prevent riot
ling tonight.”
. Their plea was relayed to Gov,
Cochran, who had attended the
Iconferenc-e of governors at Biloxi,
' Miss. He answered with telegraph
ed instructions to summon the mili
tary.
Paul and Jurgensen announced
their step was taken solely to pro
tect lives of citizens and indicated
they would not permit street cars
to operate in the trouble zone—the
south Omaha area, largely poup
lated by stocKyards workers.
" Area of Riots

last three nights occurred, each

Apprehension Subsides,
Although China Has Not
Answered Ultimatum
TIENTSIN. — (&) — Japan, her
north China garrisons reinforced,
waited calmly Saturday for China's
next move in the curreng Sino-
Japanese grisis.
Despite: continued non-settle
ment of the “Changpei incident”
and the national government’'s de
lay in replying to demands pre
sented May 29, apprehension in
this area visibly subsided and an
exodus of frightened Chinese resi
dents southward lessened. |
A Japanese army plane flew over
Peiping again, presumably to over
see the continued outward move-I
ment of Chinese, but reports fromn
that ancient eapital said it attract
ed little attention. |
Nipponese military men, who
said the detention of four Japanese
at Changpei, Charhar province,
Wednesday was ‘‘engaging our
most serious attention,” awaited
Governor Sung Chei-Yuan’s reply
to demands for cessation of anti-
Japanese activities there, punish
ment of those responsible, apolo
gies and assurances against repe
tition.
} As to Hopei province, Lt .-Col.
Gennosuke Matsui, of Japan’'s
Kwaniung army, said military
preparedness would not be relaxed
until China accepted in writing
the May 29 demands for removal
of all anti-Japanese elements and
influences. :

FUSION “FAR AWAY"”
Strength of Independent
Forces Now Regarded
As Cnly Slight
BY EDWARD J. DUFFY
(Associated Press Staff Wiriter)
" WASHINGTON —(#)— Quicken
ing political activity tended this
week to clarify the outloak for 1936
somewhat. Many more “ifs” need
to be removed, however, before the
battleground is plain.
Two certainties stood out Satur
day night. The major party mana
gers, despite current efforts to
consolidate “liberals” and sporadic
talk about break-up of the tradi
tional lines, count on doing busi
| ness under the old labels as usual.
And they consider it yet far too
learly to commit themselves on
strategy. 3
Earlier estimates of the power
independent forces may wield have
been revised. Spirits rallied by the
Republican mid-westerners confer
ence showed where the main chal
lenge of the “ins” lay.
| Fusion Far Away
' Whatever national strength such
lunits as the Wisconsin progressives
or the American Liberty League
come to command, the capital in
;general now looks for it to bg
thrown principally for or against
the major platforms. Fusion seems
far away,

Both House and Senate
Forego Usual Saturday
Recess to Speed Work
By CLARENCE M. WRIGHT
Associated Press Staff Writer.
WASHINGTON.—(#)—New in
formation raising fresh doubt of
their ability to jam through a bill
abolishing “‘unnecessary” utility
holding companies Saturday
prompted a decision by congres
sional chiefs to ask President
Rceosevelt if he would be satis
fied with something less than
abolition.
As they reached that determi
nation, both house and senate
were foregoing their usual Satur
day recess to speed other “must”
measures on the President’s pro
gram. The senate worked its way
‘through a batch of minor amend
ments to the social security bill;
the house was rushing through
miscellaneous measures to make
room for the nuisance tax exten
sion and AAA amendment meas
ure Monday.
A closely-guarded survey of
sentiment in the house on aboli
tion of utility holding companies,
it was learned authortatively,

vided as to presage a stiff battle‘
when the issue is brought to the
floor. I

A feature of the convention will
be the exhibition of the original

The Whitney gin is owned by J.

valuable early designs of machin

have been made by representatives
of the Smithsonian Institution and
the Henry Ford Museum for per

that it will be donated to one of
these organizations following the

Commissioner of Agricul
ture Takes Market Bulle
tin Trouble to Yeomans
ATLANTA, Ga.—(#)—Commis
sioner of Agriculture Tom Linder
carried his troubles with the fed
eral goyernment to the state’'s at
torney general Saturday, in quest
~of legal advice in his fight to keep
the Market Bulletin in circulation.
~ Next Thursday the commis
sioner must answer a complaint
from the United States postoflicef
department that editorial matter
published in the Bulletin, official
publication of the agricultural
bureau, oversteps strict postoffice
regulations.
The complaint amounted to an
ultimatum for Linder to cease his
“political” assaults on the Agricul~
tural Adjustment Administration
or the Bulletin would lose second
class mailing privileges. ‘
Application of the higher first
class rates would halt circulation
of approximately 125,000 copies
going weekly into Georgia farm
homes, since state appropriations
are insufficient to pay them.
What advice Linder might have
obtained from the attorney gen
eral, M. J. Yeomans, was not
divulged.
The commissioner contends the
postoffice department has an “ar
bitrary” right to tighten the lines
on his publication but that “legal
ly it's none of the federal governy
ment's business.” Yeomans' decis
ion will likely be announced this
week, . ;

Threat of Coal Strike Set
For Today Removed by
Temporary Truce .
FRESH OUTBURST
Washington Review Is
Issued After Meeting;
Assails Program
WASHINGTON. -—~(/P)—Relieved
for the moment of major labor
trouble, President Roosevelt Sats
urday dug into the job of setting
up the migdet NRA to the accom
panime.t of a tresh blast of erifi
cism from the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. .
The threat of a recovery dis
rupting soft coal strike, originally
set for tonight at midnight, was
removed when Appalachian pro
ducers agreed with the United
Mine Workers to contizue present
wages, hours and working condi~-
tions through June 30. :
Executive crders to preserve the
recovery administration’s shell
were forecast for today. James L.
' D'Neill, vice-president of _ the
Guaranty Trust company of. New
York, was reported to have been
selected» to head the new organ
ization.
The Chamber of Commerce, in
its Washington Review, issued
‘after a directors meeting, assailed
practically the whole administra
tion recovery policy. The business
lorganization stressed particularly
its opposition to the Wagner labor
‘disputes bill and the eccnomic
security program. ¢
: Agree to Scale
The coal producers represented
at the joint conference with the
miners agreed unanimously to
continue their present wage and
hour contracts, and to reassemble
June 24 to negotiate new agree
ments to replace those expiring
June 30.
This action was requested by
Mr. Roosevelt Friday to give cons
gress time to aet on the Guffey
coal stabilization bill before the
bituminous situation was furthes
confused by a strike.
Several southern producing dis- .
tricts were not represented at
Saturday’s conference, but John
L. Lewis, prseident of the!mine
union, expressed confidence they
would “go along.” Most of the
operators in these southern dis.
tricts oppose the Guffey bill to
create a “little NRA” for the sof§
coal industry.
The new NRA with which Mr.
Roosevelt busied himsell has &
three-fold purpose:
(1) To handle voluntary agree=
ments by industry to Kkeep up
wages and employment and to bag
child labor.
