(Central Press) Maryland Is Deciding Issue Roosevelt Posed Record Balloting In “Free State” on Pres ident’s Battle Against Tydings Baltimore, Md. t Sept. 12. —(AP) — Voters of traditionally - Democratic Maryland went to the primary elec tion polls today to pass judgment on the efforts of the nation’s No. 1 Dem ocrat, President Roosevelt, to “purge” Millard F. Tydings from the United States Senate. Reeord- balloting- was forecast as a result of the Intense interest aroused by the administration’s fight to un seat the conservative Tydings, who has opposed some of Mr. Roosevelt’s program, and to replace him with the liberal Representative David Lewis “one hundred percent New Dealer,” twice praised publicly by the Presi dent. > ';!!$£!

Middle Belt Markets Are Fast Filling Durham Sept. 12 —(AP) —The chant of the tobacco auctioneer will mova northward again Tuesday as another North Carolina tobacco belt, the Mid dle Belt, opens its 1938 season. The markets iq the belt are Dur ham, Aberdeen, Carthage, Fuquay Springs, Henderson, Louisburg, Ox ford, Sanford and Warrenton. Last year Middle and Old Belt farmers sold their crop of 192,000,000 pounds at an average price of $23.01 per hun dredweight. Experts declined to fore cast the opening day price range on the Middle Belt, since prices recently have slumped on the New Bright Belt in the eastern part of the State. W. P. Hedrick, tobacco marketing specialist of the State Agriculture de partment, said, however, the outlook for the Middle Belt season was “op timistic’.’ The Old Belt, which includes mar kets in North Carolina and Virginia, is next to open. A movement is now under way to advance the opening date from September 27 to Septem ber 20. Outlook Good For Prices Os Livestock Daily Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Waiter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 12.—New enthusiasm in the cattle trade has led to belief that prices for livestock of all kinds are likely to fall no lower and prob ably to go higher during the fall, ac cording to Paul L. Fletcher, livestock marketing spec-alist of the North Car olina Department of Agriculture. • “With a new top of for fed cattle having been scored, one school of market thought contends that Stocker and feeder cattle will not sell any lower this fall”, said Fletcher. “However, the more conservative wing of thought holds the view that stocker and feeder prices are still too high, and that higher prices are opt of the question unless cattle brought are to be fed and sold at a loss, as was true last winter.” Fletcher points out that feeders are scarce as compared with available feed, but the conservative wing, he says, points to a strong tendency for the finished cattle market to head in to a recession around September 20 after enjoying a late August and early September boom.

Capital, Labor Cooperating More Abroad By Cp ARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Sept. 12.—The recent report by President Roosevelt’s com mission, appointed to study European relationships between capital and la bor, gives the superficial impression that the English system is superior to our own. Other countries, especially the Scandinavias, remain to be investi gated. Britain is as far as the com mission has progressed to date. Anyway it appears that industrial employers and employes on the “tight little island” on an average get along with one another more harmoniously than employers and employes do here. However, an analysis of the report doesn’t bear out the conclusion that the English system is so much better than America’s. Seemingly the "sys tems” are not widely different. Ap parently the real difference is that English employerdom, on the one hand, and England’s organized work ers, on the opposite hand, are mutual ly more accommodating arid coopera tive than the two contrasting groups are in the United States. Had Their Battles. Time was when English bosses and their toilers were in as bitter conflict with one another as ever they have been here —and often are now. For one thing we’re a newer coun try. English capital and labor already have been through a shaking-down process which we still are experienc ing, though even here our capital and-labor are not as violent as once they were. This statement may be disputed by folk whose memories hark back no farther than late “little steel” clashes at Johnstown, Youngstown and South Chicago. But I recall the American Railway Union strike in the 1890’s. That verg ed on civil war, with Federal troops in action and President Cleveland and Governor Altgeld of Illinois exchang ing ultimatums, almost.

Germany partly mobilizes for maneuvers; then comes French and Czechoslovakian partial mobilization orders, as France pours men into the Maginot lines along the German bor ders; Germany sends men into her Siegfried line just opposite. On • th's sea, Great Britain concen trates her fleet off north Scotland in position to blockade Germany. France cancels leave o fealanmv cmfwy nn Marseilles under military law. Italy stands ready tor action. Persons close to the State Depart ment still believe conflict can be averted if civil governments and dip lomats make • the decision. But they fear the part the European military element might play in the negotia tions. Thus it was in 1914. The story of the military snowball is quickly told. Austria mobilized against Serbia after the assassination June 28 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife, by a young Serb. After diplomatic ex changes and ultimatum, Austria in vaded Serbia. Other Washington developments in cluded : Elmer F. Andrews, administrator of the wage-hour law, said he would an nounce tomorrow the membership of an industry committee to determine minimum wage rates for the textile industry. A similar committee on wage conditions in the tobacco indus try, he added, would be announced later in the week.

Chairman Leo Crowley disclosed 1 that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is studying the possibility of insuring bank deposits above thi present $5,000 limit, and a half ago! There was a genuine massacre —not a mere matter of a handful of killings, but a battle of creditable military proportions. Even as recently as the early 1920’s the rail roads and railroadmen had a disagree ment which tore the nation wide open Today railroad management and railroad labor, are as far apart on the wage issue as they were in the 1880’s. A strike is being voted on, in fact. Yet nobody actually expects a strike. The threat doesn’t upset business. The consensus overwhelmingly is that terms will be reached. This partly is because of arbitra tion machinery, but it’s more becAuse capital and labor, in the transporta tion industry, are mutually more civilized than they used to be. And the coal industry? The United Mine Workers and the coal owners are on the friendliest kind of relations at present. They're unitedly afraid of the competition of (Continued on Page Three.)

'Nurnberg, Germany, Sept. 12.—(AP)—Reichfuehrer Hitler demanded tonight that Czechoslovakia give 3,500,000 Sudeten Germans “their rights”, but did not indicate precisely what his intentions were toward Czechoslovakia.

The chief executive was with his son yesterday as he rallied from the effects of the anesthesia. “How do you feel?” the President asked James, who is a patient at the Mayo Clinic. “Rocky,” came the reply. • Mr. Roosevelt, who sped to Roches ter by special train from the summer White House at Hyde Park, N.

Fletcher Was About Only State Department Head Not “Ditto” To Governor Daily Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 12.—With departure of Major A. L. Fletchei*', erstwhile commissioner of labor, the State to day lost virtually its only department head who has not been a willing ditto mark for Governor Clyde R. Hoey and his policies. For all that the stocky major re commended appointment of Forrest Shuford as his successor, most obser vers and commentators are already tabling the new Labor Department boss as a bit more on the conserva tive side than his predecessor. The very fact that he was acceptable to the governor is taken as good circum stantial evidence that Mr. Shuford r o PAGES 1O TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY He had declared previously in the declaration of German foreign policy the world had waited tensely to hear, that the Czechoslovakia “millions of people are being manhandled and sup pressed.” He also told his cheering followers that “we see democracy and bolshe vism arrayed in a solid front” against Nai i Germany. The fuehrer, opening the speech for which the world was waiting, spoke a 4 length of what he called “th e suffer ing” of Nazi adherents in Austria be fore the annexation. Attacks Democracies The first portion of his pronounce ment, before the climactic meeting of the tenth annual Nazi party was devoted entirely to recalling the party’s fight for supreme power in Germany. Then, he turned to his attack against the democracies and bolshevism, asserting that they were united against Naziism under "the slogan of liberty, equality, fraternity. ’ “It is a bloody mockery of history, ’* the fuehrer continued, “that the demo cracies are allied with th e most bru tal dictatorship in the world. It was they which attempted to hinder Italy’s action in Ethiopia.” Hammering home the point the Nazis had built Germany into a mighty na tion again, Hitler turnde to Czecho slovakia . “Scorn is being heaped upon us to day, but thank God we are in a posi tion to prevent any rape, of Germany” he declared. “I am now speaking about Czechoslovakia.
