for them. The Springfield band followed with the most energetic and flashy drum major yet seen. " He danced over the streets as if the sand really was hot and he got his full share of applause. » ” ”
Eowever, almost immediately, he was followed by the Cleveland unit which featured a drum and bugle corps directed -by a strutter who tossed a baton nearly three-stories high and then caught it. The only thing that marred he Cleveland unit’s demonstration that one of the nobles found his plus-four pant-leg down and couldn’t get it up. : The Oleveland color guard included a British flag alongside the American flag. Pittsburgh had the largest delegation yp until that time and the snootiest. - The officers were dressed in morning clothes—cutaway coats, ‘striped pants, high collars, white spats and carried canes. # t 4 ”
Three of the largest temples followed in order—Moslem of Detroit, Aleppo of Boston and Medinah of Chicago. The ' Detroit contingent was led by a color guard and a huge tinsel banner which spread nearly across the street. One of the largest bands so far in the parade played a march called “The Last Word.” The Moslem patrol drew a big hand from the crowd when, without warning; it cut some fancy capers which culminated in a full-front to the crowd. Their costumes were brilliant green, bright yellow, réd and white. They were followed by a group slashing at each others’ ears with sabers. Aleppo Temple was led by six horsemen, who were followed by pilgrims carrying ancient fowling pieces. Two dozen nobles pulled a beanpot, which was at least 15 feet high. Standing beside the bean pot was a
ladle into the pot and tempted the péople along the street with beans. ” » 2
The largest body of marchers ° during the morning was Medinah Temple of Chicago with an estimated 350 delegates in the patrols. Eight platoons; including a brass band, a lavishly attired Oriental . band and a sword guard, marched and counter-marched with quick precision. ‘This drew a tremendous burst of applause from the crowd. Oriental bandsmen wore beards and fierce mustaches, with their faces darkened nut brown. As the comedy relief, a rather

chef on a ladder who dipped his|
about the marchers on a tiny motor bike and amused the crowd by pretending to fall off the bike only to catch himself at the last minute with his foot, which could . touch the ground, even when the bike was upright. The crowd went wild when a chorus of 40 singers "serenaded them through megaphones with— “How do you do Indianapolis, How ° do you do, “How do you do Murat Temple, How do you do, “We are Medinah boys from Chicago, Illinois, “Howj do you do Indianapolis, How do you do.” ’ ® 8 8
About this time in the parade a good many people were getting tired of standing and opportunist who apparently had raided a greengrocers, went by selling high wooden vegetable baskets as seats. The only. trouble was that he wanted two-bits a copy. Baltimore had a fife and drum corps, the first that- had appeared in the parade. They also had a mounted patrol with 10 of the most beautiful horses in the parade. Louisville had a large Oriental band and drill team and Washington,. D. C., marchers wore sashes bearing’ the printed name “Washington.” # ® t 4 El Kahir Temple of Cedar Rapids, Ia., brought along a
wheezing . groaning horrible - sounding calliope whose operator had his ears well-stuffed with cotton. Morroco Temple of Jacksonville, Fla, had a vanguard of motorcycles and their official guide from Murat was Noble Herbert Spencer, a Marion County judge. The first rendition of “Roll Out the Barrel” came from the Tangler Temple band of Omaha, Neb., which was brightly arrayed in green pantaloons.’ Man-Mountain Dean, the famous wrestler, was in his usual place at the head of the Atlanta, Ga., Yaarab Temple hand. "and looked quite dignified, something like three pank presidents. A movie camera truck preceded him and Shriners said that whenever a convention is held a movie reel is always made of ManMountain Dean performing. And the largest cigar of the day was sported by one of Yaarab’s nobles. It was at least a foot and a half long. : Streamers of ticker-tape were thrown out of the Beard of Trade Building by stock market ems
ployees who filled every window.

craft plant took a strike vote today after a deadlock in negotiations for higher wages, approximately the same as sought by the C. I O. at the North American plant. This vote was described by union officials as the first step .in a maneuver to have the strike referred to the NDMB. The armistice between Southern soft coal operators and the United Mine Workers (C. I. O.) was transformed into a permanent peace last night when both parties announced acceptance of NDMB recommendations for settlement. Representatives of the union and the operators were to begin negotiating a contract immediately embodying the board’s proposals. Under the agreement ending the three-month = dispute, Sputhern mine owners consented to abandon the 40-cent dally wage. differential and match the northern scale calling for a $7 daily basic wage. Southern pick miners, however, will receive 15 cents a day less than those in the North.
Diecasters Go on Strike
More than 4000 C. I. O. diecasters at the Aluminum Co. of America plants at Cleveland struck yesterday, shortly after the inediation board opened hearings on their dispute, in circumstances similar to those at the time the strike was called at North American Aviation Co. The diecasters had agreed to postpone their scheduled walkout at the request of the NDMB. Negotiators were to meet with the board again today. The U. A. W.«C. I. O. called the strike at the Bohn company when negotiations ‘collapsed: last night. The dispute. was referred to the Mediation Board, which ¢alled ' a conference of company and union officers for next Monday. The compahy employs 4000 men. A spokesman for A. F. of IL. machinists, whose strike has hampered production -at 11 San Francisco shipyards since May 10, said the strikers probably would return to work if requested by President Roosevelt. The President conferred yesterday - with Harvey Brown, international presi@ent of the union, and reportedly “ordered” the machinists to end the strike. - Mr. Brown meets with the union’s executive council tomorrow to discuss his meeting with Mr. Roosevelt..
Seattle Workers Join
Seattle A. F. of L. machinists today joined their San Francisco union members in refusing to work overtime for less than double rates. This presaged a sit-down strike every Saturday in the yards of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., which has announced it will go on 8 six-day week next Saturday, with time-and-a-half pay. Members of . the International Wood Workers of America (C.1. 0) remained firm in their rejection of NDMB proposals to settle the strike of 12,000 loggers and mill workers in the Puget Sound area.

~ Curtiss Output Threatened :
The Curtiss Aeroplane Co. in Buffalo, N. Y,, telegraphed the Defense Mediation Board that it would be unable to mount wheels on its aircraft by the end of this week if the work stoppage continues. at the Cleveland Aluminum Co. plants. One defense official described the situation as “damned serious.” It was understood that most airplane companies had been getting aluminum parts on virtually a “day-to-day” basis, White House Secretary Stephen T. Early refused to discuss the possibility that Federal troops might be sent to Cleveland, where a strike was called late yesterday by e C. 1. O.’s Die Casters Union.’ The Defense Mediation Board called ‘Alcoa and union officials into what was described as a “very important” conference this morning. The negotiators were meeting here yesterday when the strike was called in Cleveland.
¢ Bohn Parley Ordered
The board summoned Bohn officiais and leaders of the Unies Automobile Workers Union (C. I 0.) to meet here next Monday in an attempt to settle the Detroit strike, which was called last night. - Both Bohn and Alcoa make ape craft bearings, forgings and parts essential to plane produ The President, meanwhile, En shalled the full powers of the Federal Government today to suppress “insurrection” defense -strikes and break the control of “subversive” labor leaders. - Local draft boards will begin reconsidering selective service classifications of strikers in defense industries and, if there are no other reasons for deferment, probably will place many of them in Class 1-A— available for ‘immediate military service. The order was issued with Mr. Roosevelt's approval.
“Insurrection,” Jackson Says
All administrative agencies of the government were Keyed to support the President’s.direct action against strikes. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson asserted that the strike at the North American Aviation Co. plant in Inglewood, Cal. to which Mr. Roosevelt dispatched the Army yesterday, resembled an “insurrection.” AsSociate Director Sidney Hiliman of the Office of Production s| Management. denounced the North American strike leaders as “irresponsible and subversive.’ In seeking to halt the strike threat to defense production, Mr Roosevelt had the full support of ©. I. O. President Philip Murray,
‘| As FP. of L. President William Green
and other major union leaders. Reports circulated in Washington labor circles that Mr. Murray plans a. thorough “house cléaning” of radical elements blamed ‘for some of the defense strikes. .A possible split in C. I. O, ranks was forecast over unreserved compliance with the Federal Strike ban.

NEW. YORK, June 10 (U. P.).— The shelling of the Egyptian steamship Zamzem, carrying BritishAmerican ambulance drivers and missionaries, was “brutal and premeditated,” one of the survivors said last night on his arrival by Pan American Airways Bermuda Clipper from Lisbon. Charles J. Murphy, 36, Forfune Magazine writer, said that officers of the German raider Tamesis claimed they sank the vessel because it was.traveling without lights or identification. Mr. Murphy was accompanied by David A. &cherman, 23, a photographer for Life Magazine, and Charles A. McCarthy, 29, a volunteer ambulance driver.
