The disturbance had its root in the long and bitterly contested fight between the two labor groups, especially the determina-, tion of the Progressives to wrest recognition from the mine coni pany, now emploving United Mine Workers of America. The miners, armed with rifles and machine guns, refused to surrender their positions although 200 national guardsmen were rushed to the battle scene. W. C.

The chief executive warned that “it is for us to redouble our efforts, to care for those who must ! still depend upon relief, to prevent the disintegration of home life, and to stand hv the victims of the depression until it is definitely past."

LEGION VOTES RESOLUTIONS ON COMMUNISM National Meet Launches Campaign Against Communism, Crime \ VOTE TO RESTRICT ALL IMMIGRATION Chicago, Oat. 5. —(UP) —The American Legion today launched a strong campaign against communI ism and crime. The Legion's 1933 convention asked even stricter punishment for all agitators advocating overthrow of the government. It approved a vigorous resolution condemning I recognition of Russia and exten- | sion of credit >o that nation. Efforts of supporters of the Hitler regime iu Germany to organize a similar movement in the United States was disapproved. The Legion also voted to restrict immigration sharply suggesting a reduction of 10 per cent of the , quotas allowed under the 1924 law. Alien communists and any persons ■ subscribing to revolutionary be- , liefs would be barred. ' i A floor fight developed over part of this resolution. A phrase limiting non quota countries to 10 per cent of the number of visas issued in 1930 was interpreted by California delegates as designed to allow admission of orientals. Tlie resolution was revised to , make clear the Legion's stand against any oriental immigration. Supporters of the policy explained it was intended to apply to Canada and Mexico ra’her tlia'n China and Japan. ’ Smothered in committee were 1 proposals for repeal of the national economy act. payment of the) bonus, discharge of General Frank I T Hines, veteran administrator, ■ and several other suggestions in(CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) ENGLAND, U.

IN CONFERENCE Confer Today On Settlement of Great Britain's War Debts Washington, Oct. 5. — (U.P) —Four men faced each other across a table in tliT treasury department today to determine what Great Britain shall pay the United States on its war debt of more than $4,000,000,■OOO (B). Even deeper questions of monetary exchange and trade seem bound to enter the talks. Some observers foresee the stabilization of the dollar and pound as a result of the conversations. Undersecretary of Treasury Acheson and Frederick Livesay, economic advisor of the state depart ment, represent the United States. Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, economic ! advisor of the British government, and T. K. Bewley, British treasury expert, present the case for debt reduction. Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador, is expected to “sit in" from time to time. In preparation for the debt conversations. Secretary of Treasury Woodin, Secretary of State Hull, 1 Acheson and Undersecretary of State Phillips met at the state de- ’ partment last night to formulate) American policy. They declined to discuss their conversation. The British, who have paid more 'than $2,000,000,006 (B) in principal and interest since the Baldwin debt settlement of 1923. contend their burden is unbearable. British pay- ‘ ments now total around $184,000,-j 000 annually.. Concessions made to the British j probably will set precedents for, ' the treatment of the 14 other debt- i oi*k. or such of them as are grant-: ed reviews. o Continue Probe Os Investment Company Washington, Oct. s—(UP)—Senate investigation of Dillon Reed and : Company investment trust turned today toward revelation of the ex tent to which funds of the investing public under control of Dillon.
