If the new conference fails to solve the tieup, reported to be dead- | locked on the union's demand for a closed shop, Labor Commissioner Thomas Hutson, uninvited to today's conference, said he might take] charge. Meanwhile, C. Winfield spokesman, said there is an acute | bottle shortage at many of the 2¢| plants because people have not been returning bottles.

Reiterates His Stand

Mn Hutson reiterated today that “there is no reason why all but the three struck plants—Weber Milk Co., Capitol Dairies and Furnas Ice Cream Co.—should not be delivering milk under available police protection.” Leslie Dobbs, union secretary, said that in yesterday's futile conferences, the union, when distributors refused to grant a closed shop, countered with a proposal for a preferential shop. He said: “Union officials also suggested that the industry as a whole adopt a basic wage scale equal to the average of the wages of the two highest paid companies. This was rejected by distributors.” Hunt Declines Comment

Mr. Hunt this afternoon would not say whether milk deliveries would be resumed tomorrow, He declined to comment on why nonstruck distributors continued not te deliver milk in spite of police reports of no threats of violence and offers of protection. Leon C. Coller, Marion County Ar>a Milk Control Administrator, said there was some hope of deliv- | eries by tomorrow morning. He said | that “the closed shop” issue was the | only barrier to settlement of the dispute. Mr. Dobbs also said: “We have begun to arbitrate and it is now the company’s duty to resume deliveries, The union will do nothing to inter- | fere with deliveries in nonstruck plants. It is up to the companies to stop the lockout that is preventing | deliveries. We have no intention of | shutting off the city's milk supply because we realize the results of a | complete tieup. “Move Not Backed by Union” “I understand a group of independent union drivers may seek an injunction against two companies, to force them to furnish milk so the | drivers can resume normal de-| liveries. This move is not backed by the union.”

He added that the main subjects |

to be discussed this afternoon were | the ‘closed shop” and wage scales. “We will hold out for a closed shop no matter how long it takes,” he said. Mr, Dobbs said drivers average from eight to fifteen hours a day, receiving from $15 to $60 a week. Plant employees, he said, average eight to twelve hours a day and receive from $12 to $30 a week. Mayor Boetcher, office after a two weeks’ illness said

that he would “go into the situation” he had said he

today. Previously would not interfere as long as the

State Labor Board was attempting

a settlement.

Mr. Coller said he hoped a settle-|

ment would be reached today. “I really believe,” te said, (Turn to Page Three)

LONDON, Oct. 11 (U. P.) —Belief hardened in London and Paris today that unless Britain and France stood together and took immediate measures to restore balance in the Spanish war, they would have to take much stronger action later. Two developments showed clearly the anxiety France and Britain share as the resuit of Italy's refusal to discuss with them the withdrawal of foreign volunteers from the Spanish Civil War: 1. The French general staff was again reported in diplomatic quarters to have told Premier Chautemps that it could not accept responsibility for the national defense if large scale foreign intervention in Spain, leading to a Rebel victory, were permitted. 2. The British Government canvassed all engineering works in-

But it seemed increasingly likely that in the end France would open her frontier for arm: and men for the Spanish Loyalists and that Britain would support her fully.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (U. P) — President Roosevelt's radio “fireside { chat” tomorrow night will deal with Six subjects, the White House an- [ nounced today, giving rise to belief that the President intends to give the nation a comprehensive review | of the entire national situation. | In a Pulaski Day speech today, | Mr. Roosevelt for the second time | within a week emphasized American | determination to pit her full strength against efforts to substitute force for freedom in international relations. “We as a nation seek spiritual union with all who love freedom,” | the President said, praising Poland. “Of many bloods and of diverse national origins, we stand before the world today as one people united in | & common determination. | “That determination is to uphold the ideal of human society which makes conscience superior to brute o| Strength he ideal which would 6 | substitute freedom for force in the | governments of the world.” Ccalents of tomorrow's address

Roosevelt ‘Fireside Chat’

on Six Issues

were carefully guarded, but it was pointed out that such a variety of different subjects could scarcely fail to include discussion of most of the immediate major problems facing the nation. Tt is to be the 10th fireside address. Stephen T. Early, Presidential sec retary, announced that the speech would include discussion of six subjects, but he refused to name them or comment on what Mr, Roosevelt might say. Things which the President might discuss include the possibility of a special session of Congress, flood control and power generation, wages and hour legislation, and the agricultural situation. . Although it was considered impossible that he would announce an extra session then, it was believed that he would cite needs for immediate crop control legislation and the enactment of his Wages and Hours Bill, The White House announcement of the address gave no indication of what the President’s subject will be. But it was almost unanimous(Tarn Page Three)

do not understood that no decision at all |

sit upon the Court.

At the sgme time the Court acted upon

a series of petitiong seeking to test constitutionality of New

Deal laws.

Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes announced as the Supreme Court met today that petitions filed by Albert Levitt, resigned Justice Department official, and Patrick Henry Kelly, Boston attorney, seeking to test Tigris li right to his seat had been rejected. ?

Justice Black, storm center | of Ku-Klux Klan charges, did | not participate in the Court's

deliberation of the petitions | challenging his right to sit on the | bench nor did he participate in the | decisions of the Court on any of |

the actions announced today. Black Takes No Part

Appended to the Court's list of orders—disposition of petitions seek= ing action—today was this note: “Mr. Justice Black took no part in the consideration or decisions of the cases in which decisions or orders are this day announced.” While some new legal challenge to Justice Balck might be filed with the Court at a later date, the action today appeared to end for the present possible legal action against his continued membership on the Court. Mr. Levitt said he had no plans for a new test of Justice Black's eligibility. Mr. Kelly was of the same mind. Chief actions of the Court today: Refused to reconsider its 5-4 decision declaring the New Deal Municipal Bankruptcy Act unconstitutional—apparently closing the door to reconsideration of close decisions unfavorabie to the Administration.

Refuses to Hear Argument

Refused to hear argument on three cases in which lower courts held the Commodities Exchange Act to be constitutional. Accepted new tests of the National Labor Relations Act, involving validity of its application to shipbuilding yards. Accepted a further test of the New Deal gold clause repudiation, In a case similar to one already filed with the Court by Robert A. Taft of Cincinnati. Rejected a slightely different type of case in which legality of the gold clause legislation was upheld by the District of Columbia

{Court of Appeals.

Gave the Government a minor victory in the long legal clash over the Tennessee Valley Authority it refused to consider the

junction barring it from participating with other utilities in an attack on TVA constitutionality. After the session Mr. Levitt was doubtful concerning further action. “At this moment,” he said, “I know which of four legal steps will be taken. It will depend on further thought and consideration of the opinion. Tt was not surprised because it was one of the possibilities which I had prepared for.”

Charges Issue Ts Evaded

Mr. Kelly said the Court had evaded the issue, “This is evasion of the issue that we brought to the attention of the Court,” he said. “For this reason: “The Court sua sponte (of its own

motion) when informed that an im=poster or usurper is seeking possession is bound to verify the truth of the matter. “If a private citizen informs the Court that any lawyer of the Court is guilty of misconduct the Court is bound to investigate that charge and if it does not do so it violates its oath to keep the Court pure and beyond suspicion.” The gold clause suit brought by John Ogden of Indianapolis was rejected. He sought to force the Government to pay in predevaluation gold value for his Liberty Bonds which he offered for redemption in accordance with the Treasury's 1935 call, and resulted in a District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals ruling upholding the Treasury's refusal to do so.

GRANTS REVIEW ON WATER RATE

High Tribunal P Passes on Pleas Made in Three Hoosier Cases.

Oct. 11 (UP) — The Supreme Court today granted the review sought by the Indiana Public Service Commission of a seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruling rejecting the Commission's rate orders for the Indianapolis Water Co. The Circuit Court upheld the company’s contention that the Commission's December, 1932, valuation of the company’s worth was unfair and that rates proposed under that 1932 order were confiscatory. In o doing, the Circuit Court overTuled a decision of the Federal District Court for Southern Indiana, which upheld the Commissioner's orders and found the proposed rates were not confiscatory. Because the District Court rejected the company's plea and no temporary injunction was sought from the Circuit Court, the new rates have been in effect since the legal battle began. In its petition to the Supreme Court, the Public Service Commission charged that the Circuit Court erred in holding that the Commission’s valuation was unfair because of rising price levels and increasing costs of replacement projects, as well as substantial increases in wage scales,

Conviction Review Granted

The Court today granted the petition of the Federal Government for a review of another Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals decision reversing the conviction of Ralph Raynor anld Chet Fowler, Indianapolis, on charges of possessing paper suitable for making currency. The Court denied the petition of Charles Martin, Greencastle, Ind. for a review of a District of Columbia Federal District Court decision rejecting his suit against Continental Distillers and Importers Corp. under the “Truth in Securities” Act, The suit arose out of Mr, Martin's efforts to regain what he paid for 300 shares of the corporation's stock on the grounds that its registration Statement contained untrue H facts.
