FUTURE EVENTS
WILL DETERMINE
NEW DEAL MOVE
Wallace T o Leave
Farm Act* To
Congres*
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—<AV
High New Dealers appeared today
to have adopted a policy of watch
ful waiting with regard to current
demands from some quarters for
constitutional amendment and re
vival of such experiments as AAA
and NR A
They seemed determined to await
future events and further crystal
lization of public opinion before
going into action with any broad
program.
For example, Secretary of Agri
culture Wal&lce told reporters late
yesterday that, despite recent de
mands from a group of farm or
ganization heads that AAA cdop
control be revived, the administra
tion would not ask the new Con
gress for control legislation.
"That is a matter for Congress
and the farmers,” he said.
Wallace left no doubt, however,
that he personally believes future
events will make “Just about every
body In th United States” favor
“some kind of production control.”
Despite the call of farm leaders
for re-enactment of the Invalidat
ed AAA system of curbing produc
tion, Wallace said drought and
high prices this year had led many
farmers it desire unrestrained pro
duction next year.
It would be a good thing from a
long range view If they got their
desire, he argued, because the piled
up surpluses that would result Ai
der normal weather conditions
would depress prices and evoke new
and stronger demands for federal
control.
President Roosevelt said this
week that he has not given thought
to the question of constitutional
amendment to empower Congress
to legislate certain social reforms.

TEXTILE STRIKE
First Steps For Walk
out Have Been
Taken
MANCHESTER, Eng.. Nov. 13.—
(*’)—A cotton strike by Christmas
threatened Lancashler Textile mills
today.
The first steps for a possible
walkout already has been taken, j
textile union officials have derided
to pole the membership for au- j
thorlty to call the strike.
The voting U expected to be
completed within two or three
weeks.
If the workers vote to strike, of*;
flclals said, they would quit their'
jobs during Christmas w cek.
Textile mill employes have asked
for a 14 per cent increase In wages 1
and have been refused. Mill owner*
Informed them they were unable to
meet the demands because of con
ditions In the trade.
One union official predicted the
vote to strike would carry in both j
the spinners and eardroom workers:
unions.
“Our members know from expe
rience,” he said, "that they are not j
likely to get anything unless they
are ready to fight for It."
Mill owners declared the 1932 j
strike cost them an estimated S60 -j
000,000 and they are takii::: meas- |
urea to keep their workers from j
striking.
A halt In strike plans has been
suggested pending a compromise on
all demands except the wage In
crease which the employers hope
can be postponed for negotiation
until the mills are making more
money.
But the unions have gone ahead
with their , plans which. If the
strike were tailed, would affect
more than 300,000 workers In all
lines of the cotton Industry and di
rectly allied business.

GREEN IN FIGHT
AS MINE UNION
BRINGS CHARGES
Threat Made to Bring
Him To Trial For
Actions
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—(A*)—
Facing reprisals by 1m former co!-|
lcagurs In the United Mine Workers,
William Green denied today that
ho conspired to have the mine un
ion thrown out or the American
Federation of Labor.
The charges of "conspiracy" were
hurled at the federation president
yesterday by the executive board ol
the mine union, recently suspended
from the federation with nine other
unions for “rebellion.**
The U. M. W. executive board,
headed by John L. Lewis, summoned
Green as a mine union card-holder
to stand trial before It next Wed
nesday Green indfeated he would
not be present because he must at
tend the federation convention at
Tampa, Fla.
But he wrote Lewis that his more
than 30 years of service In the mine
workers w'ere a refutation of the
charges against him.
Though Informed labor sources
believed the U. M. W. action was a
preliminary to expelling Oreen from
his old union, it was believed his
status as federation president would
not be Jeopardized. Other unions
were said to be ready to take him
lif, thus making him eligible for re
election to the presidency at Tam
pa.
Lewis received encouragement from
allies yesterday when the Interna
tional Ladles Garment Workers un
ion and the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers decided to send no dele
gates to the Tampa convention.
Waterway Project
Again To Front
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.—<A»>
After studying the composition of
the next Senate, friends of the St.
Lawrence Waterway said today
that prospects for ratification of a
Canadlan-Ameriean treaty provid
ing for the project are much lm*
proved.
A proposed treaty calling for in
ternational cooperation to com
plete the deep-water channel from
Great Lakes cities to the Atlantic
was rejected in 1934 by the Senate
of the 73rd congress.
But officials of the Great Lakes
I St. Lawrence Tidewater association,
I which numberr-nwir from 21 states
among its membership, say several
senators who opposed ratification In
1934 will be missing from the next
Senate.
Moreover, association officials
declare they already have commit
ments favoring ratification from a
number of the new Senate mem
bers and they believe several oth
| ers who were swept into office with
the tide of votes which reelected j
President Roosevelt will follow his
leadership.
They are counting upon the
President to submit a revised trea
ty early in the session.
The resolution will require for
I ratification a two-thirds majority.
The vote in the 73rd Congress was
46 in favor, 42 against, with eight
not voting.
