ILVSKERVILL Raleigh, March 5. —Democratic cir cles are still seething here today as a result of the speech Wednesday night by Senator Millard F. Tydings, of Maryland, at the so-called “Victory Dinner” supposed to have been given to celebrate the victory of President Franklin D. Roosevelt over the Re publican party, but which instead turned out to he nothing more than an elaborate setting for a bitter and vindictive attack upon the President by Senator Tydings, long known as one of the leading “Liberty League” Democrats in the Senate and as a bit ter enemy of the Roosevelt Adminis tration. President Roosevelt’s name was mentioned only once during the en tire evening and he was not mention ed a single time by Senator Tydings by name, who devoted his entire speech to talking about “dictators” and “dictatorships” and to criticiism of the President by inuendo and infer ence.

I. O. encountered mounting opposition today from the American Federation of Labor and employee groups in the steel industry. Indicative of the A. F. of L’s deter mination to halt the advance of John Lewis’ followers was an order to fight the C. I. O. shoe workers campaign in New England. Two A. F. of L units responded to President William Greene’s call to battle. The Maryland State Central Federation of Labor and Cleveland units ordered two city central bodies to suspend Lewis locals. Other federation units were expect ed to take similar action. The C. I. O. drive in the shoe indus try sought organization cf all work ers in one union. It was the issue of organization by industry or by craft that caused the split between the Lewis and Green groups. At Washington, Francis Gorman, United Textile Workers of America president, was quoted by The Post- as announcing the pending unionization of the industry’s 1,200,000 workers un der the C. I.

BABSON, Copyright 1937, Publishers - Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Fla., March 5. The curtain has just fallen on a most in teresting conference held here at my winter headquarters in Babson Park, Florida. The main subject, of course, was how different trends, such as the waste of natural resources, creeping inflation, labor troubles, and the like, are affecting the business outlook. Having had time to mull over the var ious formal talks and round-table dis cussions, I can now pass along some of the main thoughts to readers. Forward-Buying Too Heavy?

HENDERSON, N. C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, M ARCH 5, 1937 18 Steel Unions Loyal to A. F. L. (By The Associated Press) Possibilities of a three-way split in the nation’s labor leadership diminished today after employee representatives of 18 steel mills sought to align their strength with William Green’s American Federa tion of Labor in opposition to John Lewis’ committee for industrial Or ganization.

Makes An Apology To Germany Hitler’s Envoy Told Laguardia State ment Not U. S. Views on Fuehrer Washington, March 5 (AP) — The United States, apologized to Germany today for remarks made recently by Mayor Laguardia of New York about Chancellor Adolf Hitler. The State Department said James Dunn, chief of the d ! vision of west ern European affairs, in an oral state ment to Dr. Hans Thomsen, counselor of the German Embassy in the United States, said in substance: “The German government, through its Embassy here, makes complaint against certain utterance of Hon. Fiorello H. Laguardia in a public ad dress at the Hotel Astor in New York on March 3, stating that such utter ances seriously 1 and severely reflect upon the head of the German state and the German government. “ x x x I very earnestly deprecate the utterances which have thus given offense to the German government. They do not represent the attitude of this government toward the German government.” INSOIENTSIGE CHARGE AT FRANCE i Accuse Social Regime of Trying To Foment Dis turbance in Morocco Salamanca, Spain, March 5 (AP) The Spanish insurgent regime, ac cused France today of fomenting dis turbances in Spanish Morocco to force a pretext for invading the territory held) by Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s armies. Declaring any attempt at aggression against Spanish Morocco would be met with “an adequate reply,” the in surgent diplomatic cabinet lodged a strong protest note with all signato- CVmtinued on Page Two.) and largely due to artificial and psy chological influences. Among the lat ter, the race for war materials, stock ing-up in anticipation of higher prices and forward buying as a hedge a gainst labor troubles, were chiefly dis cussed. These subjects were upper most in everybody’s mind. Many were worried by this great wave of ad vance buying. Some felt that three or four months from now inventories will become top heavy and production will suffer. Others were alarmed by what they felt was too sharp a jump in certain commodity prices. Significant figures were quoted to illustrate this point. Just glance at the following table and see the tre mendous rise which has taken place (Continued on Page Six.)

Probably the biggest piece of labor news ever announced in America came as a result of a secret meeting between these two men—'Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the giant U. S.

Announcement that the Carnegie-Ulinois Steel company, largest unit of Steel, had agreed to negotiate with Lewis’ union, is considered momentous.

At a press conference Mr. Roose velt said messages to the White House were running seven to one in favor of his speech, in which he asserted uncertainty would ibeset the future of new farm, labor, trade and similar legislation unless something was done about the courts. Cabinet members and other high administration oficials were quick with praies of the speech, which the President will follow up March 9 with a broadcast on “The State of the Na tion.” Some opponents of his judiciary plan answered the speech with renew ed criticism of his program. Many withheld (^npient. Senator Burke, Democrat, Nebras ka, an outspoken opposition leader, praised the objectives set out by the President “for a better America,” but declared, “I utterly condemn the method by which he proposed to meet that goal.” While the controversy over the court was expanding, Mr. Roosevelt turned to the entertainment of Pre mier Mackenzie King, of Canada, who stopped off here on a southern vaca tion for an overnight visit at the White House.
