A.F.of L. Changes in

oT

Wagner Law Imperil Labor, Madden Says

Declares One Proposed Amendment Would Inspire

Unfair Conduct by E

mployer in Interest of

Green Faction and Give It Seal of Approval.

By LUDWELL DENNY Timer Special Writer

WASHINGTON, April 19. —Chairman Madden of the Labor Board to-

day for the second time turned the

heat on the divided A. P.of I, Tn

the Senate Committee hearings on Wagner Law amendments, he attacked most of the Walsh-A. F. of L. proposals as destructive of the law and of

labor's interests.

With committee questions indicating that A, PF, of I. criticism of the

board is taken much more seriously than employer attacks led by

the

National Association of Manufacturers, Mr, Madden today, as yesterday, devoted most of his time to blasting the A. F, of L. amendments,

Board officials were encouraged when he got the conservative Senator Taft, a critic of the board, © say that one of the A, F, of L. proposals=t0 loosen the restrictions against employer interference in laPo organization—probably went too ar. Mr, Madden's testimony appears to have impressed favorably the prolabor group on the committee, led by Chairman Thomas (D. Utah).

A. F, of L. Chiefs Split

With A. FP, of IL. officers themselves reliably reported to be divided over the basic Walsh-Green amendments, Mr, Madden today continued to hammer in his argument that they would help antilabor employers and hurt labor, He adds that the Board favors neither the A. F. of L. nor the GC, 1. O. Mr. Madden told the committee he believed it might be a violation of the Wagner act for an employer to call a union leader a Communist, Under questioning by Senators Holt (D. W. Va.), Davis (R. Pa) and Ellender (D. La.), Mr. Madden said

MOVE OF FLEET TOWEST COAST HELD WAR KEY

Order Was Roosevelt's Own, Capital Hears; May Be Aiming at Japan.

By LYLE C. WILSON (Copyright, 1939, by United Press) WASHINGTON, April 19 =Presi= dent Roosevelt’s sudden order Ye- | turning the fleet to the Pacific was the key mystery today to a com= plete understanding of the nternas tional situation and how close or how far the world is from war, Rest information is that the fleet order was Mr, Roosevelt's own and that the admirals did not know it was coming. Whether the State Department was advised=—or suggested the move—is not known, | Practically all unofficial evidence points either to the fleet movement las a counter to some expected Japanese strategy or to consummas [tion of a “wink of the eye” agree= ment between London and Wash= {ington for mutual disposition of sea power under given' emergency eir= CUMSHANCES, This “wink of the eye” under= standing or agreement has no official confirmation. The phrase was coined a couple of years ago hy Arthur Krock, head of the New York Times Washington bureau, who wrote he had been expertly in= formed that a naval agreement which it “hardly more than a wink or A nod” exists between this coun= try and Great Britain,

Outhurst in Congress

There was a loud official outory against the suggestion and the House Naval Affairs Oommittee considered subpenaing Mr, Krock to demand identification of his expert informant. A fundamental of American poli=

he believed such a designation lachian operators before reporting ties is that no Administration may

would be a violation “under certain circumstances” even if true. He opined an employer's only purpose in describing a union leader as a he growth of the leader's union.

Unions Often Restrained

Senator Ellender asked Mr. Madden “why an emplover should be punished for saying something that is true?” Mr. Madden replied that courts often restramed unions from advertising that an employer was “unfair to organized labor” even if that statement were true. He said it would be the “grossest sort of discrimination” to give employers a free rein, but to deny this right to workers, Today Mr, Madden went even further than yesterday in condemning the series of A, F, of L. amendments to modify section 8 of the law. He began his testimony this morning with the following blast: “The proposed (Walsh - Green) amendments have the effect of giving the employer comparative freedom to interfere with self-organiza-tion and collective bargaining, and more particularly enable the employer to encourage and support one organization at the expense of all others . . . I believe that the proposals are unnecessary to correct any defects in the act, that they would serve to increase industrial strife . . . that they will lead to a tremendous growth of company unionism, and that they will restore

many of the conditions prevailing |

before passage of the act.” Attacks Green Stand

Smarting under the invalidation of certain A. F. of L. contracts by the board, William Green demands amendments to modify the Board's power, Mr, Madden attacked this as an attempt to protect employers who violate the law provided they will make a contract with one union. He said:

“If the employer is sufficiently |

successful in committing unfair labor practices, so that he drives a majority of his employes into 8 favored organization, then (under the A. F. of L. amendment) the employer is permitted to seal his illegal conduct with & closed -shop contract and render himself immune to any remedial action by the law.” In denial that the Board has been pro-C. I. O, Mr. Madden said there have been only 74 cases of “important disagreement between the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. upon the appropriate unit,” and these were decided by the Board as follows: A. F. of L. upheld in 35 C. I. O. upheld in 30, each upheld in par in 8, no decision necessary in 1.

back to Labor Secretary Perkins, He spent the morning in confers ence with James F, Dewey, Federal |conciliator who has been on the scene for more than three weeks and who has twice entered the nego= tiations in a thus far fruitless effort to break a deadlock which threatens |a serious fuel shortage. | Miss Perkins intervened last night ‘by sending Mr. Steelman to replace Mr, Dewey. After announcing that he believed there was some hope of lsettling the dispute, Mr, Dewey | telehoned Miss Perkins and his re{port evidently induced hen to intervene. There was no announcement of why he had been replaced by his boss. | The dispute had idled 338,000 members of the United Mine Work ers of America, employed by 2000 soft coal operators, since April 1,

BRITISH READY T0 JOIN PARLEY

Halifax Declares Nation Approves of Roosevelt Economic Talks.

LONDON, April 18 (U.P)~-A British plea for mutual understanding with Germany was voiced by Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax today in announcing that the British Ambassador would soon return to Berlin. Lord Halifax said Britain was ready to participate in the ecoImomic discussions proposed by Pres- | ident Roosevelt, The government, Lord Halifax emphasized, had worked for an in[ternational understanding and was ‘ready to keep on working toward that objective until “it became clear by the German military action lagainst Czechoslovakia that the ‘essential basis for this policy does not at present appear to exist.” Then the Foreign Secretary emphasized that the Government has no desire to abandon such efforts (if there is any hope of success in (creating & mutual basis for under(standing, In this connection, he disclosed (that Sir Nevile Henderson, who was [recalled from Berlin in a diplomatic {slap at the Nazis, would return to his post as soon as he had com=Ipleted a short vacation.

|enter an argreement of that kind (and there have been denials from lalmost every source. On the other hand, Washington is buzzing today with plausible and possibly navalinspired reports that the President's order carried out a program whereby our seapower would be concentrated in the Pacific if British sea power was compelled to concen trate elsewhere, The facts today are that British sea power is concentrated in the Mediterranean and home stations and that ours is about to make an emergency return t the Pacific. Whether by agreement or eoinei= dence, the fact of that disposition is unshakable. And Great Britain plans - still coincidentally = somewhat to reduce her Asiatic squadron, at least by one eoruiser to be withdrawn from Singapore,

Aiming at Japan Belief

Quite as unofficial as the “wink of the eye” agreement on fleet disposition was the report started in London 17 years ago when the Singapore naval base was under construction, and still cwrrent that it was built, in fact, for the use of the United States, It was not suggested that the United States asked or knew that the great Far REastern base was being built for our use but, merely, that in the event of another general war, the British fleet would be busy in European waters and, if the United States were party to the war, our Navy would find a com= modious base ready for it at Singa-

pore, The British thesis then and now probably was that the United States and Great Britain would be on the same side in the ‘next war.” Unofficial strategists believe the Navy is being concentrated in the Pacific to discourage Japan from taking advantage of a European crisis to seize more land in Asia, The record on that is interesting, too. Japan previously has been suspected of synchronizing major anaouncements of Asiastic policy with unusual naval developments in Great Britain and the United States.

HIS ANNABELLA COOL AND CALM

Movie Couple Plans Early Wedding and Honeymoon ‘When and If)

HOLLYWOOD, April 19 (U, P.).— The romance of Tyrone Power and Annabella, blond French actress, turned out to be the “MeCoy” and today the couple made plans for an early wedding an a honeymoon “when and if.” “Tt is all very indefinite, said the 24-year-old actor when he appeared with his smiling fiancee at the Mar= riage License Bureau a moment be= fore it closed and filed notice of in=tention to marry, “But yes,” added Annabella, “We just don’t know what our plans are, We are going to work it all out ac= cording to our studio schedules, When we have time, we'll be mar-

ried.” Going Back to Work

Their friends believed they would find time for the wedding almost any day, But their respective studios didn't think there would be any honeymoon for at least 10 weeks, Mr, Power's work schedule calls for him to spend the most of each day for the next 10 weeks before the cameras. Annabella’'s is almost as confining. Mr. Power was nervous when he stood before License Clerk Rosamond Rice and was handed the necessary blank to fill out, His hand shook and his pen wavered as he put down his age as 24, his birthplace as Cincinnati and a check-mark to show it was his first matrimonial venture, Then Clerk Rice asked him for the $2. Annabella’s Last Name At Last

Flustered, he dipped into his pocket and peeled off four $1 bills, “Here's your change,” said the plerk, handing him back two of them, Mr, Power blushed, Annabella sailed through the ordeal with aplomb, She calmly furnished the information that she was 25, a native of France and had been married and divorced, (Jean Murat, French playwright and actor, divorced her a few months ago.) For the first time Hollywood, which knew her only as Annabella, learned that her real name is Suzanne Georgette Charpentier,

FOUR LOCKED IN ICE CAR FREED BY JUDGE

Four young travelers who rode into Indianapolis locked in a refrigerator car were on their way out today, instructed to use the highway instead of the railroad. The four were given suspended $1 fines yesterday by Judge Pro Tem. Harry Gause after they told the judge that riding here from Lafayette locked in a refrigerator car was equal to 10 days in the county “cooler,” They were locked in the car after they boarded the train at Lafayette and could not get out until detectives discovered them here, they said.

7 SENATE GROUP SPLIT

ON RELIEF CONTROL

WASHINGTON, April 19 (U, P). ~The Senate Unemployment snd Relief Committee, considering proposals to reorganize the WPA, split along party lines today on the issue of Federal or local control of a work-relief program, Republican members of the committee asserted in a minority report that the program offered by Chairman James F, Byrnes (D, 8, C,) is “essentially a forward step in the reformation of Federal unemployment relief activities,” but does not cure “all of the injustices” »f the present system, The report, drafted by Senator Lodge Jr. (R, Mass.), was signed by Senate Minority Leader Charles L, McNary (R, Ore.) and Senators Frazier (R. N. D.) and Davis (R, Pa.). Senator Byrnes is preparing the Democratic majority report which will contend that the proposed program will establish a “first line of defense” against economic distress, Republicans complained particularly against failure of Senator Byrnes’ program to ‘promote a greater measure of local control and local responsibility” in the finan-

JOHNSON BALKS ON CASH-CARRY PLAN

WASHINGTON, April 19 (U, P), —Senator Hiram Johnson (R., Cal) declared today that the plan to permit all belligerent nations to buy United States war materials would make this country the ally of Japan in the Pacific and Great Britain in the Atlantic. Senator Johnson implied the socalled cash and carry plan, spon=sored by Chairman Key Pittman (D, Nev), of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, thus would place the United States in conflicting positions as between the totalitarian and the democratic blocs, “Japan could do as she pleases in the Pacific and Great Britain could do in the Atlantic as she desires” Senator Johnson said, He interrupted testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee of Breckenridge Long, former U, 8S, Ambassador to Italy, who advocated the plan as the nearest possible approach to true neutrality. The cash and carry scheme would permit all nations engaged in declared or undeclared war to buy arms and goods in this country so long as they paid cash and transported them in their own vessels or ships of third nations,

EXPECT HITLER TRADE APPEAL

Demand for ‘Economic Live ing Space’ Is Forecast in Reichstag Address.

BERLIN, April 19 (U, P.) —Adolf Hitler intends to demand ‘economic living space” for Germany in his ipeech to the Nazi Reichstag April 28, replying to President Roosevelt's appeal for peace, it Was reported today in well informed political quarters, Doubt was expressed that Herr Hitler would ask the United States for trade concessions as the price of German participation in any peuce program, Nevertheless it was suggested that, in demanding “economic living space,” Herr Hitler might call attention to his recent statement that Germany must export er starve; that he might emphasize what Nazis call Germany's inalienable ratural right to dominate central and eastern Burope economically and politically, and might take occasion to demand free access to vital Taw materials——colonies, Nazis say to critics of their “expansionist” program that the need for “economic living space” is increasingly a matter of life or death, Despite all efforts, Germany's export trade continues to dwindle alarmingly, That is one Teason why Nazis are angered at British and French efforts not only to bring Balkan countries into their “peace front” but to increase British and French trade with Balkan nations, They hold that the trade bid is a challenge to Germany in countries which should be left to Germany economically, As Fuehrer Hitler and Field Marshal Hermann Goering, his righthand man, conferred today, diplomatic quarters discussed the newest bid tp break the expanding BritishFrench ‘peace front’-—the appoint» ment of Baron Franz von Papen as Ambassador to Turkey, During part of the World War Mr, Papen was chief of staff of the Turkish fourth army under. Gen, Kimon von Sanders, He has many contacts in Turkey, Also he is the man who prepared the way for Austria's absorption by Germany. Mr, Papen just escaped with his life in the Nazi ‘blood purge” of June 30, 1934, His private secretary was killed,
