Willing To Dis-

(By Lloyd A. Lehrbas. Associated Press Staff Writer) (A. P. By Guardtan’: Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, June l-Pres- ldent Roosevelt today reiterated the willingness of the United States Government to hear the grounds on which Great Britain and other na- tions owing war debts seek revision of their payment schedules.

In a special message to Congress. Mr. Roosevelt declared against any legislation on war debts at the present session and stated that the United States was "ln a lust posi- tion" to expect substantial sacri- ficeg from debtor countries.

The United Statm would take in- to consideration, Mr. Roosevelt de- clared, the use made by debtor countries of the funds at their dis-

All commended the tone of the messag and expressed the opinion that it reflected the sentiment of the people of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt reviewed the en- tire debt quostion asserting em- phatically the view that the people expected the debtor countries to make a determined effort to meet the obligationg arising from war loans to them. "The American people would not be disposed to plaoe an impossible burdgl upon their debtors," _ the. President said, "but are neverthe- less in a just position to ask that substantial sacrifices be lnade to meet thme debts.

Deadlock Develops In Efiorts to A v e r t Strike in Textile In- dustry.

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, June l——An un- expected deadlock between labor and management developed to- nlkht after effom of Hugh S- Johnscn, national recovery admin- istrator, to avert a general strike in the United States cotton textile industry apparently was. near-suc-

An all day conference of union leaders with Johnson, George A. Sloan, chairman of the cotton tex- tile code authority and Robert Bruere, chairman cf the cotton textile industrial relations board, recessed abruptly until tomorrow when tbs opposing factions" failed to agree on details of an adjust- ment proposal submitted by the NRA. administrator.

As he left his office Johnson, visibly irritated, told newspaper- men the conference would be re- sumed Saturday morning and in- dicated ho still expected a satis-

factory adlustlnent would be reached. General Hugh S. Johnson,

studying the threatened strikes in the srel and textile industries, announced Friday that every ef- fort would be made to avert them, but said no specific plan was ready.

President William Green of the American Federation of Labor said in Chicago that the steel workers had been denied rights of collective‘ bargaining assured thcrl under the NRA. and put the strike bianle on the employers.

A new strike developed among Great Lakes tugmen, who q ‘i work at half a. dozen ports de- manding an eight-hour day. Med- iators worked on new terms to compose the strike of Pacific coast longshoremen.

Minor strikes in Pekin. Ill., dis- t"‘ “lea and Birmingham, Ala., packing" plants were settled when the workers were accorded their demands. As the drought lifted milk prices, scattered disputes be- tween cnailymen and distributors broke out.

Prospects seemed brighter last night that the planned general strike would be averted. Union

ExtensiveDamage By Roof Fire

A roof fire at

the house owned e ._at.tl1§»¢9r-.

Park Road caused considerable damage yesterday afternoon. The fire, which originated from a spark from a flue. was confined chiefly to the Wing at the rear of the double tenement building, and quickly penetrated the interior of the house. More than half an hour's work was required before the flames were extinguished, and the use of a. large amount of water was necessary. The firemen were oblig- ed to do considerable cutting before the fire wag finally put out.

Mr. W. J. Hennessey lived in one Dart of the house and Mr. Reginald Cox in the other. Extensive dam- age was caused by water as well as by fire. The loss is between $1,000 and $2,000, and is partly covered by insurance.

LCS ANGELES, June i-At least 50 persons were injured, one ser- iously today in a riot that resulted when police broke up a. congreza- tion of unemployed in front of the county welfare offices. Three wo- men were arrested.

The injured included 10 of the 300 policemen and sheriff's reserves rushed to the scene. Police estimat- ed the crowd eventually numbered about 2,500.

A committee of unemployed from the Relic: Workers’ Protective Un- ion was informed by Captain C. A. Hodson a few members could enter the building to call on Supt. Earl E. Jensen of the charities depart- ment. A crowd attempted to fol- low these members in, Hodson said, and his men then were attacked with clubs and stones.

The committee sought to pre- sent to Jensen a petition complain- ing that charity grocery orders were being cut down until they contained scarcely enough food for subsistence.

Postmaster General Replies To Opposi- tion Criticism.

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

OTTAWA, June 1.—To the victors belong the spoils. Hon. Peter Veniot left no doubt in the House of Com- mons today that was his motto in regard to small post office appoint- ments. If he were ever made post- master general again that would be his policy.

The post office estimates were be- fore the Housc at the time and there had been some criticism of Hon. Ar- thur Sauvc, Postlnaster General that he had fired Liberal postmasters and put Conservatives 1n their places. Most of the objection was as to the qualifications and records of the Conservatives appointed.

Recalling the barrage he under- went whon he had charge of the Post Office Department because of appointments he had made, Mr. Venlor said he was not going to criticise his successor for "catering to his political friends so long as he does it fairly.” "If the fortunes of war, or I might say politics, brings the Liberal party to parser and I have the honor to 'be made postmaster general again, I shall play the same game as I play- 1 Ed before."

Mr. Venlot referring to the mil- liong that had been lopped off mail distribution services and from the salary lists. In i028, he said, it had been accepted by both sides of the House that although the postoffice department showed deficits the de- velopment. of a first class service to the people was of paramount im- portance and the deficits could be over-looked. "

For the fiscal year ended with March 31, i933, the department had reported a surplus of $600,000 and for the year ended March 31, 1934, a. sprplus of $1,164,000. But in spite

Farmed by a strong north wind, the fire near Blaokville, Northum- berland County, was spreading away from the village in a southeasterly direction toward Blackvllle Tower, nine miles distant. Earlier today the flames in this district travelled six miles toward Rogersville, l5 miles from Blackvllle.
