By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 28.-—British legislation enacted after the 1926 general strike today offered the only clue to possible future New Deal | plans to amend the Wagner Labor Relations Act in behalf of employers. | There was no indication here of immediate action and ho assurance that | Mr. Roosevelt would propose amendments in future legislative programs.
| Bitter charges of partiality against @
the National Labor Relations Board I
| were followed by disclosure that Mr.
' Roosevelt feels the Board is operat-
ing with reasonable fairness to all concerned. Some Southern Democrats are restive over Committee for Industrial Organization activities in their areas. Last spring's sit<down epidemic generally disturbed Congress, and influential Democrats urged the President to repudiate that technique. The only immediate legislative approach to the problem, however, is by Republicans in the Senate. Senator Vandenberg, has prepared an amendment to the pending Wage and Hours Bill which would impose a large degree of contractural responsibility upon union labor and forbid “any threat, intimidation, coercion or physical violence” in recruiting union members.

Joseph D. Persily, regional C. 1. O. director, today announced peace= ful progress in the organization of Indianapolis municipal workers.
In outlining his program for organizing local city employees, at & meeting of 200 last night in union headquarters, Mr. Persily said: “The aims of the United Municipal Workers Union will be accomplished by means of legislation, negotiation and education. Strikes and picketing will be deemed a violation of the policies of the organization.” He has conferred with Mavor Kern on the organization, presenting a series of demands, icnluding wage increases. The Mayor pointed out that strikes and collective wage bargaining in the face of the City budget are impossible but added he had no objection to City workers organizing.

[kin (D. Miss), and Senator Nye, (R. N. D), within a week have de-
Gen. Johnson charged favoritism to union iabor at expense of em-
ployers. Senator Nye described the Board as “anh adjunct” of the C. I. O. Mr, Rankin in blistering language complained that the Board is “conspiring with Communistic ine uuences to destroy southern industries.” These allegations did not persuade Mr. Roosevelt either that there should be immediate action with respect to the Board or to amend the Wagner Labor Relations Act under which it functions. Mr, Roosevelt said there had been complaints from labor of board favoritism to employers while employers were complaining of Board favoritism to labor.
Feels Action Is Fair
* Under those circumstances, the President feels administration of the act is reasonably fair. Nor was Mr. Roosevelt convinced that the offense of contract violation is lime ited to labor.

Mr. Roosevelt had not further developed the idea of union responsibility advanced last winter in his interview with Mr. Krock untii yesterday, when he intimated that the British act might be a model to obtain a fair degree of mutual responsibility between employers and employees. The British act was passed after the 1928 general strike, which brought Great Britain for a few hours to the brink of widespread civil diso disorder.
STILL DEADLOCKED
Acute; Parley Fades.
By United Press BUFFALO, N. Y., July 28.—Representatives of wholesale food dealers and union leaders failed to break a deadlock ‘over wages at a confer ence today, leaving the city in the grip of an acute food shortage despite the fact that merchants reopened their strike-bound warehouses. The merchants refused a union proposal to submit the matter of wage increases to arbitration. It was reported that the strikers, members of an American Federation of Labor affiliate, had increased their original wage demands. Another conference of the two groups was scheduled by mediator John P. Boland for 5 p. m., but spokesmen for both sides indicated that final settlement still was far away. Previously, it was believed that a compromise of the union's demand for a closed shop had all but settled the strike. The compromise was reached late yesterday.
G. M. Raps Illegal Strikes for Losses
By United Press NEW YORK, July 28--Higher production costs due to unauthorized strikes may force General Motors to increase the selling prices of its automobiles, the corporation said today. According to the earning report for the second quarter of 1937, the corporations earnings declined $22, 377,272 compared to a similar period last year, Alfred P. Sloan Jr, chairman of the board ascribed the loss to the “inability of union leadership to control their own followers.” He said a trend toward rapidly increasing costs “must of necessity reflect itself in the form of a substantial increase in selling prices.” | He criticized “unauthorized strikes” which occurred after the company signed an agreement with the C. I. O. on Feb. 11. During the period, he said, there were only 10 working days on which there were no interruptions of some form or other,

tories outside Peiping. The Japanese, on the other hand, insisted that their modernized war machine was prevailing against the Chinese defenders, some of them fighting with the ancient two-handed sword against 1937 machine guns and artillery. All reports indicated great slaughter. The Japanese announced that they had “virtually annihilated” the 38th Chinese Division at Matsun, two and one-half miles south of Yungtimen, which is just outside the Peiping walls.
Report Japanese Victory The Chinese Central News Agency said that the Japanese had recaptured Fengtai, just southwest of Peiping, after heavy fighting. Earlier in the day it had been taken by the Chinese, who drove out the remhants of the Japanese garrison. The agency said the Chinese restreated three miles from Fengtai, where the fighting was still in prog= ress late tonight. The Japanese also counter-attacked at Langfang, southeast of Peiping, where there was also heavy fighting. Guerilla warfare went on all during the evening within a few hundred yards of Peiping’s walls. In Tienmtsin, the French concession ordered shops in the vicinity of the Japanese concession to close at 9
Pp. m The fighting at Taku was apparently related to Japanese charges that the Chinese turned trench mortars on the steamer Croan Maru as it neared the port. The ship was not damaged.
Proceeds at Dozen Points
Savage fighting proceeded at a dozen points outside the city’s ancient walls. Japan opened a general attack at dawn and fighting persisted throughout the day. Advices from Nanking said that 39 Chinese planes had left Nanking for Peiping. This was a development of urgent importance. It meant that the Central Chinese Government was getting into a fight that had been localized between Japanese and the 20th Army stationed in the Peiping area. According to American consular sources, the Chinese fired on a party of Marines who were escorting Americans towards the legation quarter, Gen. Sun Cheh-yuan, Chinese commander, and the Chinese troops who did the shooting apologized and explained that they thought the party was Japanese,
Marines Stand Guard
The American Marines, eager for a fight, stood their guard at the west gate of the Embassy quarter, on the American Embassy side. This position was a dangerous one. The gate is just north of the Chungwha gate which leads from the Tartar or northern part of the city to the southern part or Chinese The embassy quarter lies on the Tartar side of the boundary wall. Almost all of the 600 Americans took refuge in the embassy quarter, behind the sandbag fortifications thrown up at all entrances. America’s contribution to the defense force was 500-0dd Marines under Col. John Marston, compact, hard boiled ‘and ready for any emergency.
Report Full Mobilization
Tt was reported at Tientsin, 80 miles southeast of here toward the coast, that Gen. Sung had ordered general mobilization of all troops in Northern China against the Japanese, All round Peiping, it was war in all but formal name. The bitter hate pent up in Japanese and Chinese troops over the years burst in its fullest fury. A general Japanese offensive is under way at Papaoshan, Siaotangshan, Hsinkung, at Nanyuan, Hsiyuan, Hsiaochochen, at Lukouchiao, at Hsiying, the Japanese troops as the ultimatums to China expired. Airplanes rained bombs down on the Chinese, who sullenly refused to give in and abandon their posts.
Report Japanese May Bomb Peiping By United Press HONG KONG, July 28.-—Reports were received today that Japanese Army authorities at Peiping advised the commandant of the American Embassy guard that they might be forced to bomb Peiping. British authorities at Peiping, the reports said, protested to the Japanese embassy against the Japanese Army's failure to give notice of their “war” on Peiping. It was added that foreign diplomats and military officers agreed with the American commandant to impress the Japanese embassy that the embassy quarter must not be used as a base for military operations.

Appears in Defense
Mr. Jackson appeared in refutation of charges by Rep. Fish (R. N.Y.) that Mrs. Roosevelt had used tax loopholes in her charity donations, Mr. Jackson, who was general counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau in 1934 when the radio contract was executed, explained that Mrs. Roosevelt acted on Treasury advice. He defended her method as legal, applicable, in his opinion, to taxpayers generally and as having no serfous effect on Government revenues. “Mrs. Roosevelt received no income for herself and was no richer directly or indirectly for her labors,” Mr, Jackson said.
