LEAGUE MEETS ‘ TO DETERMINE ITALY’S FATE British Delegation Leader Is Urging Penalties on Invader. (Continued From Page Onr) Italy the aggressor in its undeclared Leaders predicted that the first penalty would be a firm embargo on shipments of arms to Italy. This, though it will not of immediate embarrassment to Premier Benito Mussolini, will in itself constitute moral condemnation by the assembly. Boycott in Kfleet It was foreshadowed that next would come a financial and credit boycott-—already in effect to a great extent because the powers’ credits have been closed down tightly in past weeks. Next, it was said —and probable before long—would be an effort to strangle Italy's export trade. Nations would not be asked at first to stop selling to Italy products of normal international trade but to clamp an absolute boycott on the goods that Italy sells—and with which it obtains the foreign exchange to buy essentials. These essentials cover classes of imports that are indispensable to Italy in its war campaign and in its industrial life —coal, oil and cotton and similar products. As planned, the penalties commitIf'f is to be made un of the members of the league council, excluding Italy, and Italy's neighbor nations. Council members are Argentina, Austria, Chile, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Great Britain, Poland, Portugal. Rumania, Spain, Turkey and Russia. Neighbor nations designated to be on the committee include Austria, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Greece, and probably one Scandinavian nation in addition to Denmark. British Lead Movement Leaders looked to the boycott of Italian goods as the first real penalty. League members buy 70 per cent of Italy's exports. Great Britain was busy promoting the buying boycott. Fruits, Italy's chief export, and wines were particularly aimed at, in addition to olive oil, cotton rloth and thread. It was reported that in order to make the fruit boycott more effective Britain might forbid its refrigerator ships, which dominate the ocean lines of communication, to carry Italian goods. Britain took a forceful lead in lining up nations behind the plan lor penalties There were conferences up to the hour of the assembly meeting in which delegates of such nations as Austria and Hungary were urged to stick with the League in penalizing Italy. Economic experts of Britain, France and other nations were ready to propose penalties as soon as the sanctions committee was organized. They will be imposed under Article XVI of the League covenant, which has been invoked for the first time. Italy Ignores League Action BY STEWART BROWN (Copyright, 1935, by United Press) ROME, Oct.. 9.—ltaly, confident of its ability to pursue its course despite anything the League of Nations can do, watched for news from the Ethiopian front today and ignored proceedings at Geneva. The government believes that by diplomatic negotiations with other nations it has assured continued receipt of all supplies essential to the life of the population and to the continuance of its East African campaign. What expression of opinion there is, is confined largely to indignation at "Italy's execution at Geneva,” speculation as to whether Italy will leave the League and denunciations of Great Britain as tlie real power behind the League’s attitude. An official spokesman, outlining the government's position, said that Italy considered the League's attitude unjust, anti-Italian and antiFascist. "It is highly probable that Italy might leave the League he said: "It s highly probable that Italy will remain at Geneva even if penalties are applied. Italy's future presence at Geneva will depend largely on the procedure chosen in order to apply them. "Just what weight the penalties will carry is another aspect intimately linked with our continued membership in the League. "Italy is always ready to examine new proposals. ■ Italy has not advanced any direct peace plan. It is not up to Italy to make any offer after she presented to the League her memorandum containing complete data on her dispute with Ethiopia." (The memorandum contained charges against Ethiopia.) NORTH SIDE BUSINESS LEAGUE NAMES HEADS Earl Z. Sigmon Elected President of New Group. En>.l Z. Sigmon has been elected president of the newly oaganized Better Business League of North Indianapolis, formed by North Side merchants.

Oct. 9.—Ethiopians are salting wells and underground springs at the Italians advance from the Mt. Mussa Ali section of the eastern front, it was reported today, and the Italians already are suffering from thrist. The reports said that the Italians had advanced 25 miles into the desert from Mt. Mussa Ali, heading for the Aussa region behind French Somaliland. Italians were reported advancing rapidly from Italian Somaliland in a drive to capture Harar, the important strategic center in the east. One report was that the advance lines were within 60 miles of Harar, but this was doubted as the Italians would have had to march more than 200 miles through the Ogaden desert from the Ualual section.

TRUCE REFUSED IN MILK STRIKE Martial Law May Be Put Into Effect, Illinois Governor Hints. fill i nilnl Piths CHICAGO. Oct. 9.—His proposal for a 30-day truce rejected by striking dairy farmers, Gov. Henry Horner today was prepared to declare martial law to control outbreaks of violence in milk strike areas. The Governor increased the force of st,ate highway police in northern Illinois to 125 men. Striking farmers, many of them dissenting members of the Pure Milk Association, voted last night to reject the Governor’s truce proposal and agreed unanimously to form anew marketing organization. The Pure Milk Association, whicn is under contract to Chicago dealers, has refused to recognize a strike exists. Delegates from 10 Illinois counties, four in Wisconsin and one in Indiana, laid plans for the new marketing agency after voting 65 to 5 to continue witholding milk. The strikers demanding a flat rate of 5.37 cents a quart for milk instead of the present 3.75 cents rate for fluid milk and a lower rate for milk for other purposes. Outbreaks of violence continued in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin although deputies and state police succeeded in convoying 112.C00 gallons of milk to Chicago through heavy picket lines. Another 125.000 gallons was brought in by railroads under protection of special Federal deputy marshals armed with riot guns, shotguns and automatic pistols.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COMMUNIST IS EXPELLED FROM LABOR PARTY Convention, by Unanimous Vote, Refuses Seat to Red Delegate. ill/ ill it nt I’ri ss ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Oct. 9. The American Federation of Labor today expelled from its convention here a delegate who was a candidate for Congress in 1932 on the Communist ticket. Without a dissenting vote, the convention refused to seat E. H. Curry, Kalamazoo, Mich., president of the International Brotherhood of Foundry Employes, as a delegate from that union. It was the federation's first direct action backing up its executive council’s demand that the ranks of labor be purged of those with Communistic tendencies. Address by Spencer Miller Jr. Spencer Miller Jr., director of the Workers’ Education Bureau, addressed the convention at its morning session. He said that a paramount issue in the present day world was that of ‘‘bigness," and that labor’s problem in the future would be to gain a larger vision of an integrated economic system which would "provide a life of abundance for all.” An uprising among "baby" unions, loud in demands that the American Federation of Labor shift toward the theory of mass industrial organization, confronted federation leaders today as they pushed toward the more critical phase of their convention here. The newer unions, aggressive and ready for battle, consolidated their position in a meeting given over largely to denunciation of the conservative methods of the leaders. While doomed to defeat at the present convention, the newest affiliates, recruited from the automobile, rubber, radio and mill industries, struck an issue which will be hotly contested throughout the immediate future of the labor movement. Supported by Industrial Unions The industrial unions voted support for a resolution, which, if adopted by the convention, would give them jurisdiction over all workers in their industries, without regard for the crafts in which they are employed. They also voted to support the United Textile workers in their demand that labor form a separate political party. Federation leaders, confident of their strength but resenting the row raised by the industrialists, said in private discussions that the industrial unions were made up of men who had not joined the ranks of organized labor until the Federal government had sanctioned collective bargaining. They argued that these recruits, who had shunned unions before the NRA and its famous Section 7A invited organization, should fit their plans more snugly into the general craft framework of the federation.

LAWYERS' BODY MAY SUE BANKS Bar Group Charges Illegal Practice of Law by Institutions. Legal action may be instituted within a week against banks and trust companies by the Indianapolis Bar Association on the basis that the institutions are alleged to ba practicing law illegally. Court action was promised following a meeting yesterday of the Lawyers Association of Indianapolis at which the association voted to permit the Indianapolis bar to take the lead in defending rights of attorneys. The lawyers contend that banks and trust companies are doing legal work that lies wholly within the province of members of the bar. Supreme Court Judge Walter E. Treanor attacked a statement in a Chicago newspaper which declared that the Indiana high court was "five years behind in its decisions.” Judge Treanor told the association that the court is but six months behind. "Only 126 cases are ready for final action and all can be disposed of within six months," said. * BRITISH FEAR INVASION. DR.
