Labor Principle in

lic Steel Officials

Claims; Included

In Girdler’s Statement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (U. P.).—Two Republic Steel Corp. officials |

claimed today that the basic principle of British labor relations is “toler-

ance” and that industrial peace in

Great Britain is maintained with a

minimum of Governmental interference, aan They based the claim on their study of British laws last December.

It mittee as part of Republic Chairman Tom M. Girdler’s statement, but it had not been publicized previously, Mr. Girdler, at the same time, criticized the Wagner Act. It attracted considerable attention in view of the impending report of President Roosevelt's special commission of employers and Government and American Federation of Labor representatives which has spent the summer studying English and Swedish labor laws and industrial relations. The Republic claim was made by C. M. White, vice president in charge of operations, and J. A. Voss, director of Industrial relations, both of- whom are charged with enforcing Republic’s labor policies. Republic was one of the “little steel” firms against which the Committee for Industrial Organization waged a strike in 1937 after refusing to sign a contract. “The Government of Great Britain has come to the conclusion that industrial = disputes can be ‘settled in an amicable fashion only by making the laws ‘neutral, just and equal’ as betweén employers and workmen, and by remaining in’ the background and leading them

, to compose their differences among

themselves by reason and understanding, rather than by force of on Mr. Voss and’ Mr. White said.

_ England Has No Labor Board

“England has no labor board, as they feel their presence acts as a stimulus for labor disputes. Government seldom intervenes where a fairly satisfactory condition exists.” The Voss-White conclusions have been printed in a 38-page booklet for private distribution and contain this notice on the front: “The contents of this pamphlet Tepresent merely a collection of facts. They are not intended to, and do not in any way, purport to be conclusions, opinions, or recommendations of the Republic Steel Corp. or the persons who made the survey.” Mr. Voss and Mr. White claimed that the “:right to strike, picket, coerce and intimidate is restricted in Great Britain” and that “it is a criminal offense to break a contract of employment where the act may endanger human life or . valuable property.” Wage, Hours Not Fixed

They said that “minimum wages and minumum hours are not fixed by the British Government, either directly or indirectly, except in sweafed industries.” Wages are regulated on the old principle of the sliding scale, in other words so much per ton of production or so much per day, plus bonus on production, or on a flat datal basis, which are subject to sliding-scale percentages, they added. “Open shop policy is the rule in Great Britain,” they said. “The closed shop predominates in only a few industties; however, many in.dividual employers have closed shop agreements with the unions. “An employer may run an absolutely nonunion shop and may refuse to employ a union man. The employer is equally free to run a closed shop, employing none who will not join the union. “It is absolutely illegal for an employer to make deductions from a workers’ pay except for the stat-

ABOVE AVERAGE CORN CROP SEEN

Justin at Purdue Predicts 159,856,000 Bushels For Indiana.

LAFAYETTE, Aug. 13 (U. P)— An Indiana corn crop of 159,856,000 bushels, 76 per cent of last year and 12 per cent higher than the 19271936 average, was predicted today by M. M. Justin, Purdue University agricultural statistician co-operating with the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. ’ Mr, Justin reported that corn prospects had improved four and one-half bushels per acre during July, reaching an estimated yield of 39.5 bushels per acre on Aug. 1. “Abundant moisture, warm days and nights, and no extreme temperatures combined to make unusually favorable growing weather for all crops,” he said. The winter wheat crop was estimated at 31,744,000 bushels, 8 per cent below 1937 but 15 per cent higher than the 10 year average.

The yield was set at 16 bushels per acre, one bushel less than a month ago. The lower yields were in the south and southwestern part of the state, Justin said. Conditions of oats was “spotty,” but the crop was expected to amount, to 40,861,000 bushels with an average vield of 29 bushels per acre. Rye was estimated at 1,208,000 bushels, 60 per cent of 1937, with an average yield of 115 bushels per acre. No change was indicated for barely at 528,000 bushels or 22 bushels per acre. Production of Datatoes was estimated at 4,845,00° bushels or 92 per cent of acerage. Production on high ground was ‘very good,” Mr. Justin reported, but some damage was reported in low fields. Tobacco was about the same as last month with “some slight improvement in the dark crop.” Hay crops continued at a high prospect production of 2,967,000 tons, 28 per cent higher than 1937. Production of 44 eggs per hundred hens was high for the season and the production of 21.5 pounds of milk per cow was the highest since records began in 1925.

Italian Ship Falco Races Against Time To Salvage Silver Off Cape Hatteras

NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 13 (U. P.). —A treasure hunt as fascinating as ever conceived in the mind of a novelist was mowing rapidly toward a climax today in the klue waters of the Atlantic off Cape -Hatteras. The crew of the little Italian ship Falco raed against time and battled with fog to recover a vast treasure from the depths of the ocean. Unless they are successful before heavy weather sets in this fall the project must be delayed till next year. : This is the beginning of the hurricane season in the South Atlantic and occasionally a storm deviates from the regular path and strikes up the Middle Atlantic. One such blow would end operations for weeks, crew members said. : The reasure-seekers, led by Capt. Luigi Faggian, technical director, and Dr. Mario Silvestri, sons of two of Italy’s most important families, depend in their work upon light that filters through 220 feet of murky water to the treasure that lies aboard the sunken Ward liner 8S. 8S. Merida. The treasure—22 tons of silver bullion and a fortune in gold certificates—was lost on calm, foggy night May 11, 1911. when the Merida, en route from Mexico, passed the treacherous waters of Cape Hatteras on the last leg of the trip to New York, The S. S. Admiral Farragut of the same line loomed suddeniy out of the fog and struck the Merida a blow that left a gaping hole. The Farragut, limping with a broken bow, drew back and lowered her boats for the rescue work. An SOS brought the old Dominjon liner Hamilton to the scene and hours later the Hamilton with all passengers and the crew steamed to Norfolk, 65 miles away. The Merida thrust her bow upward and plunged

Most persistent of these was that the ship carried the jewels Emperor Maximilian gave his Empress Carlotta—diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other stones worth millions— before his assassination in 1867. Whether the jewels actually were aboard the ship remains unestablished. But fortunes have been spent trying to raise the silver, the certificates — and possibly the jewels. A few years after tl'e World War W. K:. Vanderbilt, using the best divers available at the time, spent $250,000 to salvage the treasure but was unsuccessful. A second and a third expedition were sent by Harry Bowdoin, who used so much dynamite that the superstructure of the Merida was entirely destroyed, Falco divers report. The fourth attempt was made by Klass Everetts, a Nor$08 diver. He, too, was unsuccess-. ul. Divers from the Falco, working directly over the Merida, have brought up tangible evidence they have reached the bowels of the ship —coins, dishes, a fever thermometer. The silver bullion lies in three huge safes, they report, on the bottom of the wreck. The dynamitings apparently have not harmed the safes, they said. The Falco crew uses three diving bells—perfected by Captain Faggian, a noted diver himself. The bells are lowered over the hulk and the crew, working only by natural light, remove pieces of the great hull bit by bit with explosives. and acetylene torches. When they reach the safes they plan to fasten heavy chains or cables to them and pull them to the surface. But according to plans of ‘ke Merida from which the divers work, the entire center part of the upward side of the hull must be ar

Cocos Island Treasure Shrouded in Mystery >

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (U. P.) — A strange tale of treasure hunting was published today at the State Department in the Foreign Service Journal, ; The story concerned a futile expedition ‘to Cocos Island in search of a fabled pirate cache. Written in breezy and seemingly semi-fictional style the account

concerns the latest treasure hunt | gold

condueted on Cocos Island by the captain and crew of the sooty old

Although the hunt occurred but a few months ago, the reports which grew out of it have become almost as numerous and as legendary as the tales of the fabled gold itself.

The humorous account of the voyage, as published by the Journal, was written by Horatio Mooers, American Consul at San Jose, Costa Rica. Mr. Mooers’ story says the captain and crew of the San Blas were induced to outfit their ship and embark on the treasure hunt by “a young man named Coleman” who scraped an acquaintance by borrowing a match from Capt. Wilson of the San Blas in a San Francisco bar. “Coleman, 29, restless, with a command of adjectives,- born in Omaha , . . found a way to teil Wilson and Chief Engineer Fanley plenty about Cocos and the gold that was hidden on it. “Lots of people thought they knew where the Spaniards had left their gold on that island, but only he— and blindfolded—could lead a man right up to it. He had seen ‘them old four-cornered pieces.’ ”

Captain and crew of the San,

Blas outfitted their ship and sailed in quest of pirate gold, with Mr. Coleman as supercargo. ; Just what happened on Cocos after they got there and discovered no gold “has not been revealed to the general public,” says Mr. Mooers’ account. “At all events, sudden dissension broke out between Mr, Coleman and the others. The cruise back to Punta Cortez was one of gloom and vivid disappointment. Particularly distressing was it to Mr. Coleman. There were stories that he had been ‘dragged for a piece’ at the end of a rope from the ship’s stern. Others said he was hoisted on the

| yardarm, so he could keep his

eye on Cocos. as they - wallowed away from it. “Anyway, immediately they droppéd anchor in Punta Cortez, a very scared and much humbled man in soiled garments crept ashore and begged police to give him protection. ‘It was too hot ¢n that ship’ and the authorities became convinced he didn’t mean the weather. : “Wilson, Fanley and the crew . . . don’t say there never has been on Cocos, and they won't say

FIRST LADY ASKED * TO HALT EVICTION

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 13 (U.

S. Marshals will go to Mrs. Barnett’s mansion in a few days to evict her. Just how far they will get with their eviction proceedings even they are inclined to question. : Mrs. Barnett has barricaded herself inside with her shotgun. She said she would “blow the place up” with dynamite before she would permit officers to carry out the Federal Court’s eviction order. The Court held that Mrs. Barnetts’ marriage to the illiterate Creek Indian was illegal, and that therefore she had no right to any part of his ese.

FAITHFUL N, Y, WIFE SLAIN, SUITOR HELD

Slaying Planned for Five Years, Police Say.

For five years, police said, John Curran carried a loaded revolver wondering how long he would be able to prevent himself killing Mrs. Catherine Boyle, because she would

not leave her husband and children and marry him. For five days he carried a note in his pocket, addressed to his mother and telling her that he was going to kill 27-year-old “Catherine and myself.” Today she was dead, but he was not. The note was still in his pocket when police caught him. It was dated last Monday and scrawled on a sheet from a note pad. It said: “Forgive me, Mother. AsI am intending to carry this plan out.” Besides the note and revolver, he carried 12 extra cartridges. He used five of the six cartridges in the gun after allegedly shoving Mrs. Boyle into the entrance of an apartment building where she lived and telling her that he had reached the limit of his endurance. The first four shots yeni wild. The fifth pierced her ead.

By MAJ. AL WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—When the German Focke-Wulf Condor transport landed at Floyd Bennett Airport after a nonstop flight of about 4000 miles in 25 hours from Berlin, a new era was opened in air transportation. The Douglas transport marked the begining of giant airplanes for passenger, mail and freight work. But ‘the Focke-Wulf Condor, the first of the four-motored commercial air giants, is a clear glimpse of what the future holds for multimotored : airplanes. » The record-breaking Condor is a stock airplane fitted with larger gas tanks for long-range work. At the Gatwick Air Meet in- England last June 25, the airliners of 11 nations paraded over the crowd of 150,000 people. It was the Condor, however, which earned the attention of every spectator. That same evening the Condor flew from London to Berlin (about 615 miles) in a little under three hours. : I was a participant in that Gatwick Air. Meet and was tremendously impressed with the significance attached to the performance of the Condor by the British airmen. 2

RACKET TRIAL

OPENS MONDAY

James Hines Says Dewey's ‘Charges Are ‘a Lot Of Baloney.’

. {i NEW YORK, ‘Aug. 13 (U. P)— Prosecution and defense were set today. for the opening Monday of Tammany Leader James J. Hines’ trial on charges that he was the power behind New York’s $100,000,-000-a-year lottery racket. The trial promises to be the most sensational criminal action involving a major Tammany Hall figure since Boss William + Marcy Tweed was sent to jail in 1871 for stealing $45,000,000 from the City

Treasury.

District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, facing the biggest battie of his rackets-busting career, spent this week sifting and organizing the bales of evidence with which he hopes to show that Hines was the “higher-up” who gave the late Dutch Schultz and his murderous henchmen legal immunity. Lloyd Paul Stryker, head of defense counsel, did not discuss what tactics he would pursue, but announced that “We are ready.”

Most of the first week was expected to be consumed in selecting a “blue ribbon” jury from a panel of 300 men specially chosen on. the basis of intelligence and character.

Davis Is Star Witness

~Star witness for Mr. Dewey will be J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, mouthpiece for Schultz and his alleged successor to the “presidency” of the racket. Davis pleaded guilty last week after several months in Tombs Prison. He was influenced to turn state’s evidence, it was reported, by his Broadway showgirl sweetheart, Hope Dare.

Although eight persons were named in the conspiracy indictment on which Hines will be tried, only one other defendant, Martin Weintraub, will go to the dock with him. Two others, like Davis, pleaded guilty, and the remaining three are missing. . . The indictment of Hines—former blacksmith, and friend of the President—came after three years of investigation by Mr. Dewey, first as Special Rackets Prosecutor and this year as District Attorney. Mr. Dewey charged that the trail to the man known as Jimmy, the most popular Tammany leader the 11th assembly district ever had, led from the dregs of gangdom up through minor figures in the city’s most lucrative racket to persons high in New York political life,

Dewey Names Three

Already Mr. Dewey has named three persons who, according to the indictment, were controlled by Hines in his alleged role of “fixer” for the mob. They were Dewey's predecessor, former District Attorney William Copeland Dodge; Magistrate Hulon Capshaw. Dodge and Capshaw denied it.The indictment, described by Hines as ‘““a lot of baloney,” contains 13 felony counts charging that the defendants conspired to organize the policy. lottery, which flourished chiefly among Hines’ constituents in Harlem, into a monop oly of which Schultz was the active head. The first count charges that in March, 1932, Hines met with Schultz, Davis and certain of their henchmen to discuss glans “to mfluence, intimidate and bribe” judges and other law enforcement agents. At that meeting, the indictment charges, Hines received “a first payment” of $1000 and the promise of $500 to $1000 a week thereafter. . The racket monopoly flourished until August, 1937, Mr. Dewey charged, with Davis taking over the titular leadership after Schultz and three of his associates were killed by rival gangsters Oct. 23, 1935, in a Newark, N. J., tavern.

Police said there was evidence that a struggle had gone on in the room shortly before they were called by a hotel clerk. “ The police said they were seeking a blond young woman who was seen to leave the hotel about the time a woman guest telephoned the'clerk and said there was a struggle going on in a room above her. a A woman's purse was found on a table in the room.

and America. Bui the heavy hulls of the flying boats of both nations represent a handicap in load carrying capacity. These flying hoats also require that all four of their engines must continue in operation in order that the craft can stay aloft. The Condor, however, is a land plane. Its fuselage mounted on a single wing and its landing gear— retractable, of course—represent an inconsiderable amount of dead weight. The Condor flight from Berlin to New York, nonstop, is a clear exemplification. of the contention: that a multi-motored land plane with light landing gear is the ideal ship for transoceanic operaon. Some experts insist that fransoceanic work should be done in planes that can alight on the wae ter. The chief reason for this argument is that airplanes, as we know them, are compelled at times to land for motor adjustment. The flying boats must land in case one motor is out of commission. The picture changes rapidly when a clean streamlined job like the Condor is able to remain aloft and continue its cruising, full load aboard, with any two of the engines out of commission x

‘Leg Art’ Ban

After Pretty Pickets Protest

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13 (U.

P.).—The 1939 Golden Gate Intere

national Exposition decided today, after dignified and deliberate cone sideration that “leg art” ‘'might be used in publicizing the fair. aa The decision was prompted, according to the carefully worded state= ment of the publicity department, by the “picketing” of the fair office by “20 beautiful girls, blondes, brunettes and redheads.” .

The girls, referred to by the pub-¢-licity department as “theme girls,” carried placards protesting a “ban” on pictures of bathing girls and pirates in costumes. Costumes of the pirate girls were at least as brief as the scanty apparel of the bathing girls, That the “picketing” was a publicity stunt, the publicity department denied. It was, the department said, upon strict orders of Harris Monnick, fair director, that “leg art” was declared - taboo. Pictures, thé department quoted Mr, Connick as saying, “must be dignified.” ‘Unfair to Fair Sex’

‘The theme girls, according to the publicity department, pouted and said they would demonstrate. Thereupon, they painted some signs which said: “This fair is unfair to the fair sex.” “Exposition theme girls out on a limb. What a legacy.” : The fair, according to the publicity department, was shocked. The girls’ appeals for reinstatement of “all this leg stuff,” as Mr. Connick, according to the publicity department, termed it, were successful. Mr. Connick, the publicity department said, told the girls to come: back to work today prepared to
