KOKOMO PLANT ! IS ACCUSED OF USING JOB CLUB Fight 30-Hour Law or Be Fired, Is Ultimatum, Worker Charges. BV WALKER STONE Timet Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 14.—Evidence that laborers are being coerced to oppose passage of the thirty-hour work week bill was 1 brought, to light today by Senator Frederick Van Nuys. The Hoosier Democrat had read to the senate a letter he received from an employe of the Continental Steel Corporation of Kokomo, Ind.,j explaining that he had WTitten letters of protest “under the veiled threat of discharge.” Inclosed with the steel worker's! letter was a yellow slip, which the j writer said was passed out to all em-! ployes by the day foreman, and which bore the short, peremptory! command: “Please write to the following j three men protesting the six-hour day act. Use your own stationery j and bring to the hot mill office. We 1 will seal and stamp. Congressman Glenn Griswold, Senator Frederick , Van Nuys, Senator Arthur Robinson <all Washington, D. C.)” No Opinion Asked “Being a married man with a family to support,” the author concluded his letter, “I’ll sign—A Continental Steel Corporation employe.” “We were not asked what we knew or thought about this proposed law,” wrote the informant,! “but were requested to write out our protests on the shortest kind of notice and return same, unsealed and unstamped, to our department office, so the company could be certain that our protests were of a nature acceptable to officials. “It is evident that the last vestige of free American institutions, especially those involving human labor, has faded from the picture as far as the company is concerned. “The deplorable state of affairs existing in this corporation relative to wage scales and working conditions is almost incomprehensible to one not in close contact with them. We have less than'4o per cent of our 1929 wage scale left us at present, and when the diminished number of work days also are taken into consideration it means betwen 80 per cent and 90 per cent of our 1929 purchasing power is gone. Given Wage Cuts “We have had a number of wage cuts in the last two years and the last coming in February of this year was applied in three classes. One class was cut 30 per cent, another 35 per cent, and the third 40 per cent, j “About all the employes here are members of and pay monthly dues j Into a mutual benefit association for protection in case, of sickness or accident. yet it is a fact that, insofar as plant accidents are concerned, a man here either must break his back or both legs before he is allowed to remain at home to recuperate from an injury. “They work an injured man here on crutches, at his or that odd job, thus practically eliminating lost time from plant accidents. Advised Hoover Support "Naturally this corporation isn't in favor of a six-hour law, or any other legislation by the present administration. "They took it upon themselves during the election campaign to advise their employes 'o vote for a continuation of the Hoover administration. “Only last week-end a number of men in our department, after finishing their week's work at midnight

GERMANS' NEW ENVOY RUSHING TO WASHINGTON Hitler Appointee Is on ‘Urgent Business,' He Tells Reporters. By Vnitcd Prrtt NEW YORK. April 14.—Dr. Hans Luther, new German ambassador and first diplomatic official sent to the United States by the Hitler government, arrived today aboard the S. S. Bremen en route to Washington on what was described as “urgent business.” The new ambassador declined to explain the necessity cf rushing to Washington, but pleaded that “diplomatic etiquette” prevented him from making any political statements “at this time.” Dr. Luther at first refused to see newspaper men, but after an exchange of notes consented to receive them for five minutes in his stateroom. He then explained, while standing nervously behind a chair, that he could say “nothing at all" about world events, since he had not yet presented his credentials to President Roosevelt. Finally consenting to “listen to one question,” he was asked: “Is it true that two Nazis in uniform approached you at the reichstag and demanded, in Hitler’s name, your resignation from the reichsbank at pistol point?” . The ambassador flushed angrily, j and said, “That is not true at all. That’s not true. I decline to answer any questions.” He then read a prepared statement.
