ELBERTON STRIKERS
CHARGES ARE BEING
HEARD HERE TGOAY
Representative of U. S.
Labor Relations Board
Conducting Hearings
TO LAST TWO DAYS
Two Union Representa
tives Announcse Suits
Against Hotel
A hear:ng begap this morning
before Judges Mapes . Davidson,
Trial Examiner of the United
States Labor Relations Board, on
charges brought against the Geor
gia Granite Corporation and B. F.
Coggins, its president by the El
berton branck of the granite cut
ters TYnternational Asociation of
America. |
The hearing is expected to last
throughout today and mprobably
most of tomorrow. However, an
approximate time for ending the
hearing cannot be set because it
ig not known how many witness
es will be called by either side.
It is charged by the granite
cutters that Coggins refused to
bargain with a union committee
after an election had been held
designating the union as sole bar
gaining agency, and for intimi
dation, coercion and entering into
an illegal contract with individual
workers who remained in the
plant, :
Union workers at the Elbertoo
quarrieg controlled by the Georgia
Granite Corporation, have heen
out on strike since August 1 of
this year.
Disorders have marked the strike
from time to time, with various
union and non-unoin men bhooked
on disorderly conduct charges.
Included in the demands o€ the
union ig a provision for installa
tion of machinery to eliminate
dust, which causes the dreaded
silicosis.
Among those here for the trial
are Bugene C. Curtis, commission
er of conciliation of the United
States Department of Labcr; Dick
Hudson, Atlanta, representative of
the International Granite Cutters
union; J. W. Luquire, Augusta,
and J. ¥. Barrew, representing
the American Federation of Labor,
SUE ELBERTON HOTEL
J. W. Luquire, prominent Au
gusta labor leader, and J. F. Bar
rett, publicity man for the A. F.
of L., announced here today they
had entered suit against the Sam
uel Elbert hotel for $25,000 each,
charging the hotel aided in a mob
kidnaping of the two men on the
night of August 4.
Luquire and Barrett 'were reg
istered at the hotel at the time,
working with other union repre
sentatives on the granite strike.
It is alleged by the two men that
a Mr. Whiters, said by them to be
managers ‘or the Samuer Elbert
hotel, aided in the kidntping in
thtt he unlocked a basement
door letting several men, who
had escorted the two union rep
resentatives from their rooms, out
into the street.
Luguire and Barrett were car
ried across the Savannah river
into South Carolina, and, they
claim, threatened with death
should they ever return to Elber
ton. "
Representatives of the United
States Department of Justice were
sent to Elberton to investigate the
abduction, since it automatically
‘became their business when the
two men ‘were carried across a
state line.
~ Two weeks following the Kkid
[naping, Barrett and Luquire re
turned to Eiberton and Barrett

A ‘total of $1,134.30 was raised
vesterday by canvassers in the an

campaign, falling far short of the
quota of $5,000 necessary for the
work of the Army during the com

However, according to Chairman
J. M. Feagle, it is hoped that the
figure will be brought up within
the next couple of days. The cam»

Those who have mnot been con

Georgia Farmers Favor
Compulsory Control
Law With “Teeth”
WASHINGTON__ i(#) —Admin
istration officialy showed signs of
worry today over financing the
proposed new farm program with
out upsetting President Roosevelt’s
forecasts of a balanced budget
next year,
Despite the chief executive's ex
pressed hope of balance without
increased taxation, there was per
sistent talk of establishing process
ing taxe to finance a crop control
Bystem at least partially.
Some of Secretary Wallace's
aides have estimated the ‘“ever
normal granary” system would cost
$700,000,000 a year, That would
be $225,000,000 more than the esti
mated cost of this year’s soil con
servation program. Together with
the projected deficit of $695,000,-
000, it would make close to a bil
lion dollars to be taken care of in
next year's budget, aside from all
other current expenditures,
That the situalion wag causing
concern was evidénced by a con
ference yesterday among the presi
dent, Secretary Wallace and Sec
retary Morgenthau.
Observers recalled that in the
past when prestdential advisers
sought legislation entailing addi
tional expenditures, Morgenthau
had been consulted and in some
caseg' the chief executive had in
smg he must be satisfied before
the program went forward.
Whilace at a press conference
yesterday again suggested pro
cessing taxes to help finance the
program,
The secretary also declared:
“It is essential that there be de
finite surplus control to protect
the tieasury and the farmer. Oth
erwise we might commit another

of war-weary government troops,
beaten back to the sea by insur
gent Generallisimo Francisco Fran
co’s relentless army, laid down, their
arms v surrendey the.port city of
Gijon at noon today.
News that this last important
government-helq c¢ity in aill of
northwest Spain had capitulated
spread quickly throqugh government
forces in other sectors of Asturias
province and squads of Asturian
minerg who had been besieging
near by Oviedo for more than a
vear marched north to throw them
selves at the mercy of the insur
gents.
(The miners’ army for more than
a year had laid siege to Oviedo,
held grimly by ap insurgent gar
rison.) :
Franco’s officerg here declared
they expected mass surrender of
remaining government forces in
the north within a few days.
Insurgent control of Gion left
the Valencia government troopg
holding only a tiny bit of Bay of
Biscay coastline from Gion west
to a few miles the other side of
Aviles.
(Border reports were- confusing
regarding the situation in Gijon
itself. Officers of six government

A score of Spanish government

put out to sea shortly before noon
with the intention of trying to res-

But as most of these vessels

ter Attitude Toward
Spanish Situation
LONDON — (#) . ¥Foreign Sec
retary Anthony ¥den, addressing
commons at the opening of the fall
session, togay thanked Italy for
making at “the eleventh hour” her
new and ‘“very welcome” contribu~
tion to Europe’s program of nom=
intervention in Spain—by agree
ing to preliminary steps for with
drawal of foreign fighters in in
surgent armies. s
Eden reiterated, however, Brit
ain’s determination “to maintain a
right of way on this main arteriai
road”—the Meditevranean. =
Britalp united, he continued, in
wanting the government to take
no sides in a purely Spanish mat
ter but “there will be no indiffer
ence on the part of the British
government where it is clear that
vital British interests are concern~
ed,”—(such as prurection of her
Mediterranean route to her colon
ies.) ol
The foreign secretary declared
that both Italy and Germany had
“substantially modified their views’”
on the relation of withdrawal of
| volunteers from Spain and the
granting of belligerent rights to the
Spanish combattants. 5
Turning to the Far Eastern si
tuation, Eden pledged Britain's
determination to “do everything in
its power to insure success” of
the November 30 nine-power cons
ference in-Brussels which will at
tempt to mediate the Chm;&%
Japanese war. He said Ttaly would
'send a delegation and that French
foreign minister Yvon Delbos would
represent France.
British officialy began work on
proposals for sending an interna
‘tidnal commission to tabulate the
-number of foreign warriors in

Must Decide it
At the same time the committee

first withdrawals shall be in equal
numbers from each side of he civil
war. =
TMhere was more than a suspicion
in London that Chancellor Hitler of
Germany was responsible for the
change in Italy's opposition to eva=
cuation of the outsiders from
Spain—a development yesterday
which was viewed widely as eas
ing a serious threat to general
European peace. & Ads
