Industry that had been paralyzed for a. time by the mass walkout last Monday of nearly 100.000 workers was revolting against the decrees set up by the strike organization for the emergency conduct of its affairs.

In Portland, Ore, meanwhile, the strategy committee of the Central Labor council pledged Senator Rub- ert F. Wagner it would use its in- fluence to postpone the calling of a general strike there until the Sen- ator could prcsent to the Federal Mediation Board at San Francisco the information he gathered in Port- land.

Senator Wagner, who reached Portland this week as an observed for the White House and Federal Labor Board, said he will leave to- morrow for San Francisco.

The San Francisco strike comlnit-

tee had authority only to recommend the course it took. Leaders said the various unions would have to ratify the action by votes. This was con- sidered only a perfunctory mutter, however, as many of the locals al- ready had votcd to go back to their jobs and others were balloting. After “advising" all unions on sympathy strikes to resume work at once, the strike committee pledged “every resource. moral and financial, for the continued prosecution and for the successful termination of the Maritime workers‘ and longshcre- men's strike."

CRISIS THREATENED

Its resolution referred to the sit- uation as "a crisis threatening the community with disastrous results attendant upon the breaking down of civil government when superseded by martial law."

"The general strike committee," the resolution went on, “has done ev- erything within its power to avert this catastrophe." _ Referring to its previous action rc- commending that both shipplllBlll- tercsts and the striking Maritime unions submit the problem of arbit- ration by the federal longshoremens strike board, the strike committee said it thus had proposed “a fall‘ and equitable basis upon which this general strike may be ended at once. saying the longshoremcrrs board has "endorsed" the original IJYOPOSll of the strike committee. it then reit- erated me employers should submit to arbitration of the marine work- ers‘ issues if their differences could not be settled by collective bnrsnlrl- ing. It said the mllrinc workers should submit also and cull of! their strike when both sides had laid their cases before the board.

The strikers’ convention thcn p115- sed a resolution asking thc ivlth- drawal of 4,500 national guards mcn from the strlkebound area and an- other perpetuating the generill strike committee “until such time as the president oi’ this body shall deeds- General Hugh S.

Johnson, who yesterday called

upon the strike committee to call oil the mass walkout as a prvrflqlllsll-e in federal peace efforts, told Vandc-l leur:

Dissension In Cabinet Over Charges Of Ex- Premier Tardieu.

(BY John Evans Associated Press Staff Writer)

PARIS. July l9—A knock-down mlltlcal floht between right and left members today brought the “truce government" 0f Premier 055ml Dilllmersue near a crisis.

Tardieu, who previously had en_ Dyed the aged Premier's favm; in- Cuffed his anger yesterday with an attack on the Radical Socialist Governments in testimony before a commission ‘investigating the ram- ifications of the collapse of Stav- isky's Bayonne municipal pawn- shop.

The Premier urged the cabinet to rcmilln together "for the sake of the country," and said that he would come back if necessary.

If the break comes, it was m- sllrdcd as likely that lie would m- organize his government and hold on unlil September before calling an election.

Tardicus charge that (he Rad- ical Socialists knew Stavisky was looting France precipitated the most better fight in several months and shock confidence on the bourse. Government bonds and francs were sold freely.

BERLIN, July l9—Wltl-i thc va- cation season well under way and the weather extremely warm, thc Nazi government today was observ- ing a moratorium Oll public pol- itical activity.

Where iwo or three weeks ago one communique followed on the heels of another and one speech crowded the next, thc press and meeting halls of Germany now have become void of political talk. The political moratorium appear- ed not to apply to reports and ru- mors, which wellcd up in profusion abroad and all of which were offi- cially denied by the office-holders who remained at their desks to work on a variety of problems fac- ing the third Reich.

The only man in high place who continued to cngagc in political activity during the last iwo days

NaziLeadersSeek ToResto re Morale OfTbeStonn Troops

was Robert Ley, Labor front leader who has been going around the country making speeches to work- crs in praise of Chancellor Hitler.

The general cessation of of pub- llc activity does not mean, however, that thc government and the Nazi party are inactive.

The government has a number of pressing problems, including the prospects of dwindling food sup- plies, finances. unemployment re- lief and the various effects of the heat wave.

Careful perusal of the provincial press indicates that there are nu- merous intro-party conferences among Nazi leaders who are bend- ing their efforts toward restoring the shattered reputation of the storm troops.

There is also evidence that con- siderable internal reorganization is

taking place within llle Party. though changes are being made quietly and without any violent

disturbance.

British Prime Minis- ter, Accompanied By His Daughter, Will Spend Some Eight

Weeks In Canada -- May Visit N e w - foundland.

By C. R. Blackburn, Canadian Press Staff Writer. (By Guardian's Special Wire)

QUEBEC, July l9.-Apparently in excellent health and spirits Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald was tonight heading eastward on a long promised pilgrimage to the Maritime Provinces with Digby, NS, his im- mediate destination. With an entire lack of ceremony in keeping with his expressed desire that his vacation trip might free him entirely from political or official duties, the British Prime Minister landed at Quebec this morning, accompanied only by his daughter, Ishbel, and a secret service operative.

Mr. MacDonald lifted the ban on political questions sufficiently, how- ever, to describe as "rubbish" reports that he was about to resign and that there would be a general election shortly in Great Britain. He par- rled a question as to whether or not he would visit Washington before m- turning to England but intimated that he would not travel west of Quebec. It had been reported he would go to the Rocky Mountains.

A stay of some eight weeks in Canada, probably most oi’ the time in Nova Scotia, was the intention of the distinguished visitors, but there was no set itinerary, Mr. MacDonald said, and he would make a. leisurely tour, stopping wherever he found the restful surroundings he sought. There was a possibility. Miss Malc- Donald said, that she and her father would visit Newfoundland. ~

A welcome to Canada was person- ally extended by Prime Minister R. B. Bennett who, pausing in Ottawa only a few hours on his return from Calgary, travelled down to Quebec in time to meet the liner. He accom- panied the British Prime Minister to his hotel and spent the morning in his company.

Prosecution Has New Evidence In J o n e s C a s, e

(C. P. Cable By Guardian's Special Wire)

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, July 19-Prosecution attorneys seeking extradition of a youthful ship steward, Robert Jones, sprang a surprise here today by producing a photostatlc copy of the extradition treaty between Great Britain and the United States. Because of its important bearing, the case which concluded last Friday, will re-open on Saturday.

It came from the Department of State at Washington, was auth- cnticated by the Secretary of State and bore the great seal of the Am- erican Republic. Prosecuting law- yers said they believed it a trump card in their efforts to exlradite Jones and take him to Texas to stand trial Ior thc murder of Mrs Ircllc Debolt.

Jones has been hcld here for more than month since he was arrested on the Canadian liner Lady Nelson and was plllccd in thc

iDebolt last November near

Royal Gaol because of his re- semblance to Arthur C. Wilson, Cleveland, 0., man accused of kill- ing the wealthy and attractive Mrs Van Horn, Texas. But Jones claims hc is a native of Toronio.

Court proceedings lengthened in- to wccks as defense counsel con- tended that the prosecution had not presented authentic proof oi

‘the extradition trcniy. The case was

concluded last h-iday and Magis- trate K. Vincent Brown was to have filed his decision Saturday, but ow- ing to the importance of new ev- idence now in the hands of the prosecution, the case will be rc- opened, he announced today. Defense Attorney A. H. L. Mas- son immediately entered a protest on his pronouncement holding that it was an irregular procedure in that decision was reserved and thc case had been concluded. He asked permission to produce an historian to prove that Texas was an inde- pendent republlc at the time thc treaty was signed, in support of his argument that Texas was not under the Jurisdiction of the United States then and did not come within the scope of the agreement.

Defence Force Will Be Raised

By George Harnbleton,

Canadian Press Stafl‘ Writer. (By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, July l9.-—(C,P. Cable)- “We cannot delay and longer," de- clared Stanley Baldwin, acting Prime Minister, in the House of Commons this afternoon as he made the long- awaitcd announcement of British air force expansion.

Forty-one new squadrons will be added to the R.A.F., or a. total of about 500 new machines, said Mr. Baldwin. This will take place over s. period of five years, including the present year, in order that no un- manageable increase in estimates will fall in any one year.

Pursuing the decision that the British air force must be brought in equality with that of any country within striking distance, the home defence force will be raised to 15 squadrons. The other eight new

squadrons will be added to the fleet air arm and the air force abroad.

Mr. Baldwin stressed that thc policy of the British Government has consistently been to support inter- llatlonal disarmament. '.l‘hat policy has not changed and even now the British Government is striving to break the deadlock at Geneva.

Furthermore the British had eon- sistently set an example to the world by actual reduction of its forces un- ill they were at dangerously low lev- els. In the case of the Royal Air Force particularly, development had

been postponed time and again while deficiencies in equipment and stores mounted.

But other nations, Mr. Baldwin pointed out, had failed to follow Bri- tom's example. Expenditures on armaments mounted abroad. And the disarmament negotiations drag- ged our, longer than anyone thought possible. There was no end in sight yet. Britain had let her defences lag for eight and a half years while disarmament was talked of in ulter- national conferences.

“During this time,“ he said. “seri- ous misgivings have arisen from time to time in many quarters at the in- creasing accumulation of deficiencies ill our defence services. particularly in view of increased expenditures on armaments in many Olllfll‘ @011!!- irics.

“The government Dolley remains one of international disarmament and we have by n0 means abandoned hope of reaching some limitation."

But he listed Britain's commit- ments under the covenant of the League of Nations and the Locarno Treaty. symptoms of unrest in Ell!‘ ope and elsewhere. and the fail of other governments “to follow o example by comparable reductions’ in forces, as leading the British gov crllnlcnt some time zlgo to the decis iOn the possibility of keeping their armaments at thc present low level must be reconsidered,

"We have come to the conclusion," he declared, "that we cannot delay any longer measures which will in the colirsc of the next few years bring our air force to a level more nearly approaching that of our near- est neighbors."

LONDON, July ilk-The Govern- ment's decision to build up tllf Royal Air Force to 75 squadrons did not pass unchallenged by the oppmition party today. Sir Herbert Samuel. Liberal leader. and 10rd Ponsonbyg leader of the QPDOSltlOH in the House of Lords. both ex- pressed themselves sharply.
