WEATHER Continued Warm With Possible Showers MARKETS Stocks Gain. Wheat Sags, Cotton Eases VOLUME 2—NUMBER 159 STEEL AND LABOR PRIMING GUNS FOR FINAL SHOWDOWN ADMINISTRATION EXPECT ED BY EXPERTS BACK WORKER’S CAUSE WASHINGTON July 3 (TP)—The threatened labor war in the steel industry stands out today as one of the biggest imminent factors of the presidential campaign. John L. Lewis’ committee on in dustrial unionization has warned tiie steel industry that it is ready for a showdown. While denying that it seeks a strike, the Lewis group de fied steel operators’ threats to throw every obstacle possible in the way of the unionization drive. The stand pat attitude taken by both sides in the unionization dispute threatens to bring one of bitterest clashes in the nation’s labor history. If the outright break develops, it undoubtedly will have a tremendous effect on the presidential campaign. A dispute with such far-reaching ef fects doubtless will demand a stand by President Roosevelt. In that event, he will be faced with the choice of backing up the steel men, thereby antagonizing the American iron and ateel institute, which has declarea war on Lewis’ drive and the Amer ican Federation of Labor which op poses the Lewis movement. Indication that the administration will sympathize with Lewis was seen in a statement by Secretary of Labor , Perkins. Miss Perkins deplored the , st:el institute's announced resistance to the unionization drive and called on the employer’s organization to guard against becoming "nervous and panicky.” She reminded the steel men that Lewis’ drive was not a strike movement but a campaign to extend an existing labor organization. "I hope,” she said, "the steel in stitute will do nothing foolish and against the public Interest.” President Roosevelts position in the threatened labor war is less enviable than that of the Republican candi date, Governor Alf Landon. As an executive, Mr. Roosevelt probably will be called upon to take a definite stand, with the danger of vote oeses in either direction. Governor Lan don however, need not come out definitely in one way or another. By keeping q«uiet, he may corral the votes the President might lose.

She flew in from the east, and went straight to the Zloncheck home. Newsmen dashed along for an Interview but she eluded them. Airline officials said they had no idea where Mrs. Zioncheck boarded the plane. Her whereabouts had been a mystery during the period in which Zioncheck fled from a mental hos pital in Maryland and boarded a train for his Washington home.

The Congressman’s bride flew to Seattle today, arriving before Zton check’s train pulled into the city. The chastened Congressman was far different from the wild-eyed young man who staged a five-months spree in Puerto P|:o, New York, Pittsburgh and Washington. He wept at his mother's bedside and choked witn emotion. Zioncheck refused all talk oof politics. He made it clear he came home to see his mother, not the voters who sent him to Washington. Zioncheck reversed the attitude of j bravado which had stamped his ex ploits. Somewhere between Mil waukee and Spokane, he underwent his reformation. The crowds that packed Spokan station this morning I didn’t get a glimpse of him. The band played and the crowd cheered, but iZoncheck kept out of sight.

She told the court that they were constantly on the move because he couldn’t find a bed long enough for his feet. Mac- Arthur is a six-footer. Miss Frink said her newshawk husband took her to Hollywood in an upper berth. She said she lived on oranges for three days. Helen Hayes and MacArthur smiled sheepishly at most of this.

The French foreign minister, Yvon Delbos, told the league assembly that the first reform must give the league council of 14 the power to act with out a unanimous agreement. At present one dissenting vote in the council can destroy the decision of the other 13 members. France Explains In Note It was reported that France had formally amplified this proposal in a note presented to the president of the league assembly. Great Britain was said to have joined in the pro posals. It was suggested that the league have the authority to punish any aggressor with all manner of re pressive sanctions, including an oil embargo. The plan also calls for European nations to sign regional treaties to protect their immediate interests. The nations would guar antee to help an invaded nation with their armies. Troops could be mobi lized without consulting the League of Nations. The league asembly today referred Emperor Haile Selasies request for a war loan to the bureau of the assem bly. It is expected that league offi cials wil persuade Selassie to with draw his demand for a $50000,000 loan to Ethiopia. The league co-ordi nation committee, in charge of sanc tions, is said to haws .decided. the penalties against Italy shall be dropped between Jly 10 and July 15 Selassies’ New Terms The league meets today with two very embarrassing resolutions to de cide upon. Both were submitted by Emperor Haile Selasie, who is making a last desperate appeal to rally to his cause the league support which appears to be steadily fading out of sight. Selassies first resolution, filed with the league secretary, asks, In plain language: “Will the league pledge Itself never to recognize Ital ian annexation of Ethiopia?” The second asks: "Will the league, having promised to aid Ethiopia, lend me $50,000,000 to be spent in rallying the Ethiopian forces for an attempt to oust thef Italian armies?” These two resolutions call for just what the league has been trying to doge—a concrete statement. Instead of giving Selassie a value assurance of sympathy such as was scheduled, the league will have to say “Yes” or “No” to those two resolutions. The answer to both probably will be “no”, but in so voting, the league will go on record as turning down the ap peals of a nation which, only a few months back, it pledged to defend with all its strength.
