STRIKERS' PLEA TO HALT ARMY RULE UNHEEDED Martial Law to Continue at Minneapolis in Truck War. Bn I'mltr* Prr MINNEAPOLIS. July 30—Picas of 166 trucking firms and their 6,000 striking drivers for dissolution of martial law went unheeded today by Governor Floyd B Olson as his adjutant-general announced that an “insurrection" has been suppressed. Simultaneously, additional trucks were given military permits to operate. Adjutant-General Ellard A. Walsh said commercial transportation had been to 65 per cent of normal. Prior to proclamation of martial law five days ago the strikers had halted virtually every type of trucking. A ban on trucks in interstate commerce was revoked because of its doubtful legality. The thirteenth day of the strike passed quietly yesterday with only the arrest of four men by national guardsmen and a mass meeting of union members to remind the city's residents that they were living under a dictatorship. Dock Strike Is Ended Ay United Press SAN FRANCISCO. July 30—The Pacific coast longshor men's strike was called off today with the men ■ prnmi ing to return to the docks to- | morrow at 8 a. m. after eighty-two i days of bitter and bloody industrial! strife in which eight were killed. The President's national longshoremen's board will conduct ar- J bitration of the dispute which led ' to the walkout of 12.000 longshore- j men May 9. Under the terms of the j agreement under which the men are going back, hiring halls will remain in control of the employers, but | federal and union representatives may supervise their operation to prevent discrimination. All strikebreakers are to be discharged. There will be no discrimination against the longshoremen for union affiliation or strike j activities. Question of wages and hours as well as eventual control of the hiring halls was left to the arbitration proceedings. Officials’ Arrest Asked 9? I nitrd I’rcsa KOHLER.

Gen. Johnson Orders Chiefs to ‘Stand by Guns’ in Two Cas’fes. By I’nitnt Prrstg WASHINGTON. July 30.—The NRA was under order by General Hugh S. Johnson today to stand by its guns in two major “crackdown” cases. Recovery subordinates were considering further action in the Harriman Hosiery Mills case and that of the Greif Bros. Clothing Company at the direct word of their chief. Johnson telegraphed Colonel G. A. Lynch, NRA administrative officer, from his Pacific coast vacation spot, that: “If the blue eagle was returned to the Harriman mills without an agreement to re-employ fifty strikers and insure collective bargaining it should be taken back again.” The NRA should stand by its de cision to remove the blue eagle from the Greif concern and that Johnson would “tell the public why” providing violation of the recovery act continues.

STARHEMBERG FORCES ANGRY AT NEW MOVE

Schuschnigg Is Named as Chancellor Over Young Soldier-Prince. (Continued From Page One) 1.000 wounded. Os these the government lost seventy-eight and 165 wounded. Beaten for the moment, the Nazis resumed their terroristic campaign. The electric power house and police station at Lusteau, on the Swiss frontier, were damaged by a bomb. A Nazi was killed in a fight near Styr. One of Schuschnigg’s chief tasks will be to keep the heimwehr satisfied. He is of determined character, though less aggressive than Dollfuss. Like Dollfuss he is a devout Catholic, and so is assured of Vatican as well as monarchist blessing. He is not likely to concede anything to Austrian Nazis or to Nazi Germany. Battle Is Imminent (Copyright, 1934. NEA Service. Inc.) RABENSTEIN, Austria, Yugoslav Frontier, July 30.—A battle is imminent between Nazis in control of this frontier village and loyal Austrian troops, a United Press correspondent found on his arrival today. The Nazis were barricaded in the railroad station and customs building. Sixteen truck loads of soldiers waited a short distance from town ready to open fire. But they had to wait outcome of negotiations between Austrian and Yogoslavian authorities over the prospect of permitting the rebels to retreat across the bolder. Nazis threatened to kill customs officials and railroad employes if the troops opened fire before they are able to cross the frontier to the safety of Yugoslavia. Germany Is Dismayed By Lulled Press BERLIN July 30.—Dismay and annoyance were exhibited by the government today because of Austria's delay in accepting Baron Franz Von Papen as special minister. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, when he closed the Austrian frontier during last week's Nazi revolt, recalled his minister to Vienna, Kurth Reith, dismissed Theo Habicht as leader of Austrian Nazis in Germany and named Von Papen envoy with extraordinary powers, thought he had convinced the world he was sincere in repudiating the revolt and seeking to restore friendship. The blunt statement at Vienna that the cabinet would not decide until this week whether it would accept Van Papen brought home to the government how strongly Europe blames German Nazism for the Austrian crisis. There was open annoyance also at reports that France and Italy were bringing pressure on Austria not to accept Von Papen unless Germany have guarantees against future interference in Austrian affairs. Italy Is Aggravated (Copyright 1934. bv United Press) ROME, July 30. —Government sources feared today that Dr. Anton Rintelen, former Austrian minister, communicated to Nazis all the secret information regarding conferences and diplomatic exchanges between Premier Benito Mussolini and Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. The United Press learned that Rintelen several weeks ago said to a friend here: “I will succeed Dollfus within a few months.” Rintelen is in a Vienna hospital under guard, suffering from a selfinflicted lung wound. He shot himself after his arrest on suspicion that he was secretly a Nazi, though he was a trusted member of Dollfuss’ party. His formal recall was announced at Vienna last night.

Among the new features on the train will be the repeating cannon from which two persons are fired bodily through space at each performance—circusdom’s latest attraction.

Misfortune Continues to Trail Circus, Due Here

Ft. Wayne Sues Show for Alleged Damage to City Streets.

The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined circus will pitch its tents here tomorrow for two appearances after a series of unprecedented misfortunes. Last week a typhoid epidemic broke out among performers and employes at Detroit, Mich. Saturday a section of the train was held up by a gang of Negro bandits at Lagrange, Ind., one employe being killed and another wounded. Upon arrival of Ft. Wayne for the performance Saturday, city and state health officials closed food and drink stands accompanying the show as a precaution against the spread of typhoid." Two more circus employes, meanwhile, were taken to a hospital suspected of having the disease. . Asa grand climax of the troubles, the city of Ft. Wayne filed a $2,000 suit against the show, charging that the heavy trucks and wagons had damaged streets.

PROPOSALS ON BONDS TO BUY GAS CO.ASKED

$7,000,000 Needed for Proposed Purchase. Mayor Says. (Continued From Page One) of which can be paid annual interest and principal of the bonds maturing each year. In view of the record of earnings of the gas company during the last few years, many bond purchasers doubt whether investors will be interested in revenue bonds on the gas plant as it now is operated. The Citizens Gas Company, after paying all operating expenses and fixed charges, showed a loss of $87,211.26 in 1933, and a lass of $lB.164.58 in 1932, according to annual reports of the company filed with the public service commission. Although there has been no public report as to current earnings, it is understood that a better showing has been made thus far this year. Observers of the situation believe that, in order to interest financial houses in revenue bonds on the Citizens company, it will be necessary greatly to decrease production costs by an extensive use of natural gas. Long Lease Handicap This may make it necessary for the city first to complete negotiations for the use of natural gas before it can obtain satisfactory proposals by investment concerns lor the purchase of the bonds, it has been pointed out. Another question which the city will have to settle in connection with acquiring the gas property is whether it will want to continue the ninety-nine year lease under which the Citizens Gas Company for several years has been operating the production plant and distribution system of the old Indianapolis Gas Company. Rental of more than $479,000 in 1932 and of more than $482,000 last year was paid by the Citizens company to the Indianapolis company, according to reports filed with the public service commission. In view of the possibility of obtaining natural gas much cheaper than artificial gas can be produced, payment of that part of the rental which is based on use of the production plant of the Indianapolis company may be considered of doubtful economy, it is reported. Other Factors Encouraging Other factors are more encouraging, however, according to observers. By the terms of the trust deed securing the gas company’s mortgage bond issue of approximately $3,000,000, all of its outstanding mortgage bonds may become due and payable at the option of their holders if and when the common stock is paid off. However, it is possible that the bondholders, or at least a part of them, may not require the payment of such bonds until their maturity date in 1942, or may prefer to exchange their bonds for city revenue bonds. It also is possible that stockholders of the company may prefer to exchange their stock for such revenue bonds.
