BY HILLIER KRIEGHBAUM United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 1.— A modernized equalization fee plan and a farm mortgage refinancing proposal were prepared today for recommendation to the Democratic and Republican national conven-

tions this month.

Leading farm organizations, it was ‘learned, will offer those proposals for inclusion in the 1936 platform agriculture planks at Cleveland and Philadelphia. Upon their reception may hinge a sizable bloc. of farm votes. The “farm problem,” a perennial of undiminished importance this campaign year, will receive serious consideration by both major parties. The New Deal, however, is expected to stand by the soil conservation act, voted by Congress this year tp replace the invalidated AAA. The Republican attitude, however, has not yet taken definite form. Senator Arthur Vandenberg (R., Mich.), a possible presidential nominee, said in a radio address last night that he favored the principles of the old McNary-Haugen bill, which has as its basis the equalization fee plan,

Dressed in “False Whiskers”

Vandenberg termed the soil conservation act “the same old AAA, dressed up in false whiskers.” Under this act farmers are paid to plant lands in soil-building crops, effecting a modified crop-production control. Republicans generally have opposed the New Deal's curtailment programs, although Frank Lowden, former Illinois Governor, has considered Midwest support for -a soil conservation proposal under the states rather than the Federal government. Existing legislation provides for turning administration of the act over to states in 1938. President Coolidge twice vetoed the McNary-Haugen bil, although it was sponsored by fellow Republicans. The ‘House defeated the FrazierLemke farm mortgage refinancing bill last month. The National Farmers’ Union has not given up its fight for farm mortgage refinancing legislation. “The reactionary leadership of both parties ganged up on us to defeat the Frazier-Lemke bill,” Edward E. Kennedy, national secretary, said as he started a swing around the country to explain the situation to farmers. |

Five Years of Efforts

“That bill was our baby. We spent five years trying to bring it up for a vote and then it was defeated because both parties used the power of office, influence and persuasion against us. It doesn’t make much difference what the party patforms say; the candidates are the real issue.” The National Grange, one of the nation’s’ largest farm organizations, supports the export debenture as “one of the solutions of the problem of agricultural surpluses but insists that others, such as Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace's “ever-normal ganary” through farm storage and commodity loans and the preservation of “American markets for American farmers,” are necessary. The American Farm Bureau Fed- " eration, largest single unit of organized farmers in this country, will draft a platform to be sub- . mitted to both parties at a fheeting of its high command in Chicago next Friday and Saturday.

Stresses Need for Control

Edward A. O'Neal, national president, said: “Congress has been mighty good to the farmers and we won't forget it at the polls. Ours is a nonpolitical organization, but you may be certain that American farmers have got to have some sort of production control. They will _ have it, too.” The National Grange's proposals include: 1. A soil conservation program of “wise rotation of crops” with governmental rentals to build up our r-~tional resources.

3. Speeding up retirement of submarginal land from crop production. 3. Expand the surplus commodity corporation to deal with agricultural surpluses through farm storage and commodity loans, export debentures for sending products abroad and increased new industrial uses of farm crops. 4. Protection of “American markts for American farmers.” 5. “An honest dollar, one just to debtor and creditor alike, and preyenting, uncontrolled inflation or de-

6. Support of farmer - owned, farmer-managed co-operatives. 7. Maintenance of interest rates al the lowest possible rate.

Congressional leaders in former ‘Republican battles for farm relief indicated they would nqt attempt to push their party toward their special ideas. ‘Senator Lynn J. Frazier (Rep. N. DJ) will not make any special battle for the bill he introduced with Rep. William Lemke (Rep. > DJ), although he is an alternate to the Cleveland convention. : Lemke, also : Republican convention, said he beleva he STUAUmAlion Je Jas been

WASHINGTON, June 1.— The policy of the “good neighbor” as a means toward raising the “material, moral and spiritual well being of the

world” was urged upon the|

third triennial conference of the Associated Country Women of the World today by Sec-

retary of State Cordell Hull.

Mr. Hull welcomed foreign members of the association to the Unitéd States. He spoke from a platform at Constitution Hall upon which were seated Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and other dignitaries. More than 6000 women from every state in the union and 22 foreign nations arrived by automobile, train, bus, airplane and boat for the largest gathering of women ever brought to Washington. Conference officials said 6300 women had made reservations for the five-day conference. Nearly all of the delegates, it was expected would be Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's guests on the White House lawn this afternoos. A few months ago plans were made for an attendance of about 400 women. Three weeks ago the number had swelled to 1800. .

21 Countries Represented

A banquet is planned for Thursday at which Secretary Henry A. Wallace, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt were to talk, but there is no place in Washington where 6300 diners can be served. The problem has not yet been solved. The conference is the third of an organization formed in 1929, called the Associated Country Women of the World. Its first conferences were held in Vienna and Stockholm. Women arrived for the meeting in day coaches chartered by Western delegations, interstate busses equipped with tents and equipment for sleeping along the roadside, and private automobiles. Because farmfamily budgets are so often limited many of the women were to be found in sleeping quarters here at the tourist camp or in tents or in nearby rural homes.

Group, Discussions Slated

Twelve group discussions scheduled .for Wednesday. They were intended to be small, intimate affairs, but apparently more than 500 women will attend each.

They will discuss art in rural life, drama, education for country: life, folk dancing. and folk singing, handicrafts, health services in rural areas, . library service, motion pictures, music, organizations for rural young people, radio, and study of local history.

On Friday six groups will talk over—in non-political, non-partisan fashion—the countrywoman and the economic problem, use of rural resources, electricity in rural life, marketing of home products, rural unemployment, and the problem created by town people coming to the country as workers, residents, and hpliday makers.

Unique Cook Book Ready

The women in charge of the organization have found that the interest of rural home-makers ‘he world over in the common problem of feeding their families transcended all barriers of race, language, nationality and political differences.

Farm women from German Nazi groups and from women’s organizations in Palestine, country housewives from northern and southern Ireland, and rural Democratic and Republican women in the United | States worked together compiling one of the most remarkable cook books ever written, which is to be n sale at the meeting here. . t "has more than 500 recipes, most of them never before printed, for characteristic and traditional dishes served on farm tables in five continents.

grounds of subordinant consequence. “The act was not to meet an emergency; it discloses a pernmianent policy; the increasing number of women workers suggests that more and more they are getting and holding jobs that otherwise would be-

long to.men. Must Read Background

“The ‘factual background’ must be read in the light of the circumstances attending its enactment. The New York Legislature passed two minimum wage measures and contemporaneously submitted them to the Governor. One was approved, it is the act before us. The other was vetoed and did not become law. They contained the same definitions of oppressive wage and fair wage and in general provided the same machinery and procedure culminating in fixed minimum wages by directory orders. “The one vetoed was for an emergency; it extended to me as well as to women employes; it did not provide for the enforcement of wages by mandatory. orders. . “Much, if not all, that is said in justification of the regulations that the act imposes in respect of women’s wages applies with equal force in support of the same regulation of men’s wages. While men are left free to fix their wages by agreement with employers it would be fanciful to suppose that the regulation of women’s wages would be useful to prevent or lessen the evils listed in the first section of the act.

Men Likely to Take Low Wage

“Men in need of work are as likely as worhen to accept the low wages offered by unscrupulous employers. “Men in greater number than women support themselves and dependents and because of need will work for whatever wages they can get arid that without regard to the value of the service and even ‘though the pay is less than minima prescribed in accordance with this act. “It is plain that, under ‘circumstances such as those portrayed in the ‘facttial background,’ prescribing of minimum wages for women alone would unreasonably restrain them in competition with men and tend arbitrarily to deprive them of employment and a fair chance te

find work. »

Lan exposure of the Black Legion’s

highest political ramifications this week, has proved fortunate for Detroit and Michigan, however dreadful for Poole and his widow. Without such a shocking development, it is observed, the Black Legion, under its political cover, the Wolverine Republican League, might have accumulated political power until it reduced Detroit to the state of submission endured by Pontiac and Jackson until just now.

Detroiters do not forget that the Ku-Klux Klan, at its greatest in 1927, hoasted 875,000 members in Michigan—the largest enrollment in any state—and that it claimed to have. elected .a Mayor of Detroit, numerous judges and minor officials. Judge James E. Chenots’ one-man grand jury, expected to open its inquiry- by mid-week, may subpena two judges, a powerful Republican politicians, Mayor Frank . Couzens and Police Commissioner Heinrich Pickett.

Bullet Incident Recalled

Mayor Couzens, it became known today, will be asked to recall an incident at the last state Republican convention when the leading political leader tossed a bullet—the symbol and password of the Black Legion—in the air during a conversation. The police commissioner is. to be questioned on the police investigation: into a number of outrages—floggings, kidnapings and arson—credited to the Black Legion. The typically home-bred composition of the Black Legion—latest nightrider, lynch. mob manifestation in a long series of native aberrations from the star-spangled Know-Nothings of the 1840s to the Ku-Klux Klan in the last decade— awakens the misgivings of thoughtful residents in this most modern city More and more the sentiment grows that the Black Legion is the | product of Red-baiting; that its members, simple countrymen, bigoted and opinionated and searching for a factor of superiority, were hoodwinked into sinister midnight pranks by an anti-radical crusade. . The Black Legion has a woman's auxiliary. A half-dozen of its leaders, wives of knights, have explained their. reasons for banding themselves together by a blood oath. Invariably, these ordinary housewives ascribe indignation at “Communism in the schools” as their reason. Mrs. Hazel Holly, reputed “lieutenant colonel” of a woman's branch, spoke for her sisters when she said: “We're all furious at the way Communism is being taught in the public schools, the ideas which are ‘being put into our children’s heads.”

CLOSES MINES IN WAGE FIg

Five Guards and Miners Hit by Bullets in Alabama Iron Pit Outbreak.

By United Press , Ala., June 1.—Strike ing iron miners sniping with rifles from mountain eyries defeated ate tempts by a subsidiary of United States Steel Corp. to operate three

68 .| mines under an alleged “stretch out®

wage scale today. 3 Hidden sharpshooters dangerously wounded two deputized company guards and kept 92 nonunion miners besieged underground in the Wen onah mine of the Tennessee Iron and Railroad Co. One Negro miner was wounded seriously, and two white miners were reported slightly hurt in an exe change of shots at the company’s Muscoda mine. Br

Sheriff Sends Deputies

The Birmingham sheriff sent hastily mobilized deputies to the Wenonah mine throughout the night in preparation, for an attempt to remove the beleaguered miners this morning. Shooting began less than two hours after 2200 men struck at the three mines, located in a mountain district, where two years ago two men were killed, several wounded, and the National Guard mobilized in another strike. The T.C. 1. & R., owned by United States Steel, had ordered one of three shifts of miners laid off and the remaining men transferred from an hourly wage scale to a tonnage basis. George Googe, Southeastern representative of the American Fed eration of Labor, charged that the change was the first move of .a nas - tional effort by the steel industry to “mob up” trade unions around its fringe in preparation for resisting a campaign to unionize mill workers.

Small Force Reports

Only a fraction of the normal forces entered the mines at 6 p. m. when whistles summoned the first shift under the new schedule. As it became apparent that the force was inadequate to work the mines, company officials ordered the none union men out of the shafts. A few minutes later rifles cracked from dark mountain sides come manding the Muscoda workings. Some residents of the neighborhood said there were shots inside the wire-inclosed company property.

Almost at the same time, as the few workers at the Ishkooda mine scuttled from the shaft under the eyes of armed guards, a heavy gun fire broke out all around the ho= rizon. The guards deployed about the unlighted mine houses and re= turned a blind fire at distant flashes. Company authorities said more than 100 bullets ‘struck inside the mine property. Two guards, Wile liam Sanymeyer and Eddie Burgess, were wounded.
