O. will “substantially” exceed the membership of his rival, the American Federation of Labor “This means that the C. I.

C.1.0. Chief Urges Caution in Drive
By United Press DETROIT, April 8.—The United Automobile Workers decided today to organize employees in Henry
Ford's, vast motor plants fully before moving “with caution’ to deal with the manufacturer who declared he “never would recognize” any union. In Detroit, John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organization, shouted to a cheering throng of union members: “Henry Ford will change his mind on this subjecf.” : “But,” Mr. Lewis cautioned, “have the men well organized before they engage Mr. Ford in conversation.” The Ford-Lewis exchange came while 90,000 workers in the Chrysler Corp. and ‘feeder!’ plants prepared to return to their jobs after seftlement of a month-old strike. The union won from Walter P. Chrysler the right to bargain for its own members in his nine plants, and he was assured that sit-downs and other strikes would be banned during the life of the agreement. Governor Murphy, who brought Mr. Lewis and Mr. Chrysler together, followed mediation of the Chrysler strike with swift settlement of a sit-down affecting 2400 Reo employees. He continued efforts today to end a strike that has meade 11,000 Hudson Motor Car Co. workers idle. News of Mr. Ford's statement reached the coliseum here as Mr. Lewis prepared to speak to a crowd of 25,000 gathered to hear the union leaders explain the Chrysler settlement. / “1 don’t let a little thing like a loose statement by Henry Ford bother me in considering the future of the industry,” the C. I. O. chief said. Mention of Mr. brought boos.

By United Press © MARION, Ind. April 8.—Emma Kuelzow, 65, La Porte widow, today had identified Warren Marr, reputed former Detroit millionaire held in jail here on charge of violating the State Securities Law, as the man who had taken $25,500 from her| in exchange for worthless stock in the Great American National Corp.

W. leaders in Detroit had expressed confidence that| the Ford Motor Co. soon would join two other members of the ‘big three'—General Motors and Chrysler—in recognizing the union for collective bargaining. Mr. Ford denounced sit-down strike tactics and said that public officials were charged with *‘protecting” citizens from such weapons of labor unions. “Those who seize property not their own are in the same category .as housebreakers,” he said. The manufacturer recently returned here from Detroit, where he conferred with company officials about a sit-down demonstration in his Kansas City assembly plant last

made in settling the strike.

Corporate Stiuetire of Rail Empire May Be Simplitied
(Continued from Page One)
action that might be pursued by officials of the Van Sweringen kingdom was that Alleghenny Corp., second high holding company in the structure, might absorb control or Chesapeake Corp., the holding company below it. Chesapeake Corp. controlled by Allegheny, has direct control of the Chesapeake. & Ohio Railroad. Already, it is calling in its outstanding bond issues for redemption, and dissolution of the corporation is expected. Removal of Chesapeake from the Van Sweringen edifice, most observers thought, would mean only the abolition of a holding company and its only effect would be to bring Allegheny in closer contact with op erating companies.
Simplification Started
Steps for simplification of the structural organization of the railroad companies themselves already have been taken it was pointed out. Chesapeake & Ohio has applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to acquire direct control of the Nickel Plate and Erie Railroads, a move which would tend to centralize control. In any case, experts said, the key action would lie with Allegheny Corp. It is through Allegheny that | Mid-America, which owns 47 per
cent, of Allegheny’s common stock, exercises its control over the railroads of the Van Sweringen system.
Move Possible
In Cleveland, observers wondered if establishment of the trust might take the seat of the vast railroad empire to another city. It was regarded as possible’ that control might be centered in the city whose bankers were designated to handle the trust. This has not yet been announced. : Financial observers considered remote the therat of a lawsuit by representatives of the-Van Sweringen estate, seeking to enforce a repurchase option granted the brothers by Mr. Ball and (George A. Tomlinson at the time Midamerica was sold. : They pointed out that even if suit to enforce the option were allowed, the estate first would have to prove tc the courts and the directors of Midamerica that all Van Sweringen creditors had been satisfied.

Girl Startles
ONNE TERRE, Mo., April 8.—Mary Christine Dunn 28 months old ‘and so smart she astonished professors of Washington University, perched on the back of a sofa in her parents’ home today and sang a song
Her face extremely grave, she sang in a high baby soprano:
O pretty little doves, Little doves, little doves, O pretty little doves, Flying in the air. Then, prompted by her mother, she pursed her lips without self consciousness, and sang “The Rosary” and “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” . Intellectually, Mary is the. most remarkable baby in the experience

A tiny mite with large, meditative eyes, she spoke slowly, selecting each word with care. Her sentences were even and complete. She said her favorite movie star was Shirley Temple but that she had never seen her on the screen. Her mother explained that she kept Mary away from crowds and, hence, she had been to a movie but once. “I saw the quintuplets,” said Mary. She picked up a magazine and opened it to a picture of the Dionne sisters. “Oh, those quintuplets! Aren't they precious?” Mary's father is Lawrence T. Dunn, an employee of a lead company. His income is above the average and the Dunn home is comfortable and well furnished.

Mrs. Dunn said that she and her husband realized the responsibility involved in rearing a child of Mary's promise. She said she would not enter Mary in kindergarten now, though Dr. Nafe said the child was quite equal to it. Mary will not go to school until she is at least 4, her mother said, and will not be pushed in any way.

FOREIGN FUNDS WORRYING U. §
Inflow of Capital Disturbs ~~ Markets; Government ‘Unlikely to Act.
By United Press : WASHINGTON, April 8.—Administration sources disclosed today that the Government is unlikely to take any steps in the immediate future toward curtailing foreign capital inflow for fear of further disturbing the already unsettled securities markets. Economists charged with devising some means of reducing capital imports received a hint of what might happen, if action were taken, in yesterday's stock market break. The break resulted from heavy foreign liquidation based on unverified reports that the Treasury was contemplating a cut in the gold price. The heavy inflow of foreign capital has been a problem of great concern to the Administration since last. fall, chiefly because of fear of credit inflation. But Administration fiscal experts also are aware that it is a delicate problem requiring cautious handling. :

JOE, CHAIN GANG VETERAN, LANDS IN COURT HERE
He's Pining for Dixie and Local Bondsmen Are So Advised.-
Fred Wiggins, alias Joe Millwood, 23, brought with him his best Greenville, S. C., dialect and a story of three escapes from a chain gang when arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Howard Young today on a | charge of Dyer Act violation. | Joe (he said everyone down in | Dixie knows him as Joe) waived Grand Jury action, but warned the Commissioner that he wanted to be | fair and that if he was put under bond he would exercise his powers of escape. The Commissioner, in a way, heeded Joe's warning. He placed him under $2500 bond, but told the U. S. Marshal to caution anyone who appeared to post it about Joe's threat. : Joe Does Talking Joe, who did most of the talking during his arraignment, said that when he saw an automobile parked {in Blue Springs, Mo., his pinings for Dixie influenced him te climb in and head for South Carolina.

The Commissioner said that if he pleads guilty or is convicted it might be possible for him. to return to Dixie to the Atlanta penitentiary.
