Strike of Relief-Roll Workers Is Broken in New York City Today Organized Labor Carries On Fight in Other States, However. | NEW YORK.— (#) —The strike |of relief-roll workerg at the low ! cos’ housing project under con ‘/s"ruction by the Astor interests— one of the key spots in the fight of ilabor unions against the gov ernment’s so-called “security wage'’ of $93.50 a month for skill ied help—appeared to be broken { today. Elsewhere over New York, and in other states, organized labor carried on the fight. “Flying squadrons” traveled throughout the city, seeking to pull relief workers off of federal-financed construction jobs. The State Build ing Tradeg Council and the State Federation of Labor in MNew Jer sey stood solid against accepting the $93.50 wage, as did labor lead ers in several Ohio cities. At the Aster project. it was said 365 skilled laborer were back at work this morning. This was the deadline set by General Hugh S. Johnson, Works Progress admin istraior, who issued an ultimatum last week that the relief strikers return to work or be struck off the relief rolls. The Asior project nominally em ploys some 400 workers in the skilled class. When the strike was called last week, more than 150 refused to work. When the whistle blew teday, there wag only a hand ful of workers who refused to punch the time clock. The principle involved in the dipute —the “security wage” as ‘against paying the workers at the regular hourly scale in union con iracts—occupied the council of the American Federation of Labor at{ its meeting in Atlantic City. 1 William Green, who heretofore‘ has given an implied sanction to ihe New York city walkout, prom ised tq discuss the stand -of the A.

SEEN A 5 PRESIDENTIAL BIID F&ner President Assails Jew Deal Again While Stopping in Chicago. “GREAT DECISION” No Indication Roosevelt Will Make Any Reply to Statement. WASHINGTON.— (#) —Herbert Hoover's challenge to President Roosevelt .to inform the people “openly” and “precisely” just how he wants the Constitution changed was regarded today as a major step in a Republican drive for a “knock down and drag out” fight on constitutional issues in 1936. ~ Stopping in Chicago on a trip; 'east. the former president hit at the New Deal last night in a state ment accusing the administration of “dictatorial” demands, of tramp ling on “primary liberties of the people” and of invading state’s rights, Seeks Revision Directly or indirectly, he said. the administration seeks to revise the Constitution to concentrate powers in Washington. Calling on the administration to declarg its intentiong before congress adjourns and to make it an open fight on a specifically worded amendment, he said: “No matter how destructive an amendment might be and even theugh the people were persuaded to ill-advised action upon it, yet it would be better for liberty to com mit suicide in the open rather than to be poisoned by indiréection in the capital of the nation. “Momentous Decision” “No more momentous. decjsion has been raised since the Civil war. gommon frankness requires that the administration come for ward to the people and declare pre cisely wherein, under our Consti tution, we can not correct evils and can not prevent social malad justments.” } While some Republicang and Democrats interpreted the state ment as a bid by Mr. Hoover for the presidential nomination next year, others denied this was nec essarily the correct way to con strue it. Meantime. there was no indica tion that President Roosevelt, who returned last night from a fishing trip on the yacht Sequoia. would make any statement. From Repre s€tative Vinson (D.-Ky.) came the comment: “No constitutional amendment has been submitted and nobody has said that one will be.” OELASSIE READY T 0 IVAKE CONCESSIONS Ethiopian Emperor Might Cede Section of Empire to Settle Dispute.

JAPANESE GENERAL - STABBED T 0 DEATH Subordinate Inflicts Fatal Wound After Argument With Director. . TOKYO,—(#)— Lteutenant Gen eral Tetsuzan Nagata, director general of Japanese military af fairs, died today of sword wounds, which the war office stated were inflicted by Lieutenant Colonel Aizawa during a fight in Nagata's rooms. 't The incident was said to have grown out of recent transfers of army officers. Gen. Senjuro Hayashi, minister of war, was said to have prepared his resignation as a result. General Nagata was one of his strongest supporters. The director General was wound ed in his rooms in the war otflce‘ where Aizawa called on him this ‘morninz. ‘There was a fierce ar-{ gument, during which the Ilesser ‘ottlcer drew his sword, the war .office said, and inflicted the wound. The war office, after reporting the incident, immedjately imposed a strict censorship on details. There has been a growing dis content among many army officers :)lnce July 16 when General Hay “ashi forced the ouster of Gen. !Jlnzaburo_ly[azakl as director gen {eral of military education and gave {his own faction complete adminis ltration of war affairs. Mazaki’'s ouster was accome fpanied by widespread shakeups !among divisional commanders and other high officers. I Nagata, 52, one of the strongest factors in the Hayashi forces, was made virtual administrative head of the army. Hayashi, when advised of the mortal wounding of his friend, im mediately prepared to resign and assume responsibi'ity of all the events leading up to today's out-l break. It was said that the resig nation probably would not be ac-| 'cepted. { Aizawa was promptly arrested. !

BETWEEN oENATE AND HOUSE MIGHT KILL PLANS Open Split Between Borah And LaFollette Features Fight on Amendment. Substitute Would Touch Million and Half of Small Salaries. WASHINGTON, — (# — Some legislators predicted today that if the senate should vote to bring the “little fellow's” pocketbook within the scope of the new tax bill, A senate-house deadlock may force the Roosevelt administra tion to scrap the tax bill for this session, This feeling, together with an open split between two noted sena torial independents, forcast new and hotter fighting on the contro versal issue. Senator Borah (R-Ida) attacked the senate finance committee plan for lower exemptions and higher taxes on small incomes a plan which Senator [LaFollette (Pro- Wis) succeeded in getting the committee to substitute for the house program last Saturday. “To increase taxes in this region and among these tax-payers is to accentuate their burden which al ready is heavy enough and neces saryily to lower their standard of living,” Borah gaid in a Sunday night statement. He said he would vote against such a Sunday night statement. He said he would vote against such a move, and that oth er independents were “critical” of it. i Lowers Exemption (The LaFollette plan lowers in come tax exemptions for marriei persons from the present $2,500 . ' $2,000 and for single persons from SI,OOO to SBOO, and increaseés the gurtaxes all along the line. The house bill would leave present taxes on income bslow - $50,000 un changed). 3 Legislators who forecast a pos gsible scrapping of the whole tax program, while unwilling to be quoted by name, pointed to expert estimates that 1,500,000 persons with small incomes would be added to the income tax-payers rolls un der the new amendment. 4 They also reminded newsmen that all seats in the house are at stake in next yeur's election.” Revenue in Line § S LaFollette offered the amend ment as a means of bringing fed eral revenue more in line with expenditures. b . Though President Roosevelt wds back in town from a fishing trip on the yacht Sequoia, there wag no public indication as to how he felt over the way legislators were treating his demand for what he termed “distribution of wealth.” Besides rewriting the house bill’'s income tax provlsions,“‘fty;_,“_ senate finance committe also alter (Continued On Page Eight) ) Frank Gaines Killed In Automobile Crash In City of Elberton ELBERTON, Ga.—(Special.) —Frank Gaines, well known Athens automobile man, was killed here this afternoon about 2:30 o’clock when a car driven by him was in collision with an Elbert county truck in front of the high school build ing.
