John Dillinger is in Paris, i Chicago, New-YorL.-Snint Lours, New Orleans .... thus news' j flashes report the progress of the nation’s most noted crimi nai ann ciesperaao. But they're all wrong. Mr Dillin ser passed through this .section Monday morning, seated comfort ably behind the wheel of a nifty new roadster, accompanied by two hirelings. That is the story that Webb Beam, who works down at l.eity Robinson's cigar store, 'tolls. It happened like this. Webb was down near Lincolnton at the serv ice station belonging to Mort Nor man. The station is located about 10 miles from Lincolnton on the Morganton road. A slick roadster pulled in from the road, and the driver told the clerk to fill-her up. Webb says he was standing not five feet front the car. and that there were three men in it, the one in the middle holding a sub-machine gun between his knees. All wore the hats or caps pulled low over their foreheads. After paying tor the gasoline, the car pulled out into the highway again, headed for Morganton. Webb vows that one of them was Dillin ger. The only flaw in the story is the fact that if Mr. Dilhnger had read the Cleveland Star, he would have noticed that Lincolnton had just purchased a miniature arsenal in preparation for a visit from him. and he probably would have had enough sense of humor to stop at the police station and replenish his ammunition from the Lincolnton supply station. 1 City Submits FERA Projects j A $4,294.60 water pipe an^| sewpr project was submitted to the Fed eral Relief administration by the city of Shelby yesterday, Harry Woodson, relief administrator here, announced.

Commerce Chamber Would Revive Monazite Industry In Cleveland The Shelby chamber of commerce and merchants association is trying to get all possible information con cerning the possibility of reviving the monazite industry in this and adjoining counties. The value of re viving the industry was recently pointed out in a letter to The Star and to state papers by Dr 8. S Royster, who is familiar with the amount of money brought into this section of the state in years past, when monazite was of considerable economic importance. It appears that tariff is the big question. If tariff can be placed on imports of monazite front riuuth America it seems likely the muring of monazite can again be profitable. Unless a tariff tan be obtained there will hr little probability of profn Letters to congressmen and sepa tors from this state and Sooth Carolina are now going out, it is understood, asking that such a tar ■ j iff be placed.

Washington Moves To Avert Strike i In Textile Mills Union Organizer* Threaten To Quit Worker* Protest 25 Ter Cent Cot In Production And A»k Pay On tl) Hour Basis. While textile union workers and organisers prepared last night for a possible genera! walkout on Mon day. protesting the 25 per cent cur tailment In production and conse quent changes in the payroll set up. the Roosevelt Administration act ed swiftly to avert the strike. Thomas F. McMahon, president oi inf unuco 1 exilic woriccrs oi America, and a delegation of union officials and organizers gave for mal notice to NRA today that a general walkout would be called for Monday if a recent order, curtail ing production by 25 per cent, ware earned out. Parley I* Called. Harry O. King. NRA division ad- ( ministrator. conferred for three ( hours with the union leaders and a? the session ended announced that, a conference of the workers,, the ( code authority and Hugh S. John- , son, recovery administrator, would be held here Friday in an attempt to reach a solution. The union spokesmen agreed to i ihe Friday conference but asserted that the plan for a general strike of more than 300,000 workers on Monday would not be altered un- , less the curtailment order were re scinded before that day. Only One Issue. Saying the curtailment order | granted at the request of the code authority to avert over production, was only one of many Issues in volved, Francis J. Gorman, vice president of the United Textile ( Workers asserted the strike, once | called, would not be ended until ( the workers' demands for shorter ] hours, higher wages and correction of alleged stretch-out abuses had been met. ( “This curtailment order is mere- | ly a subterfuge to evade the min imum wage provisions of the col- ( ton textile code,” Gorman said. ( He added (he union sough!, in stead of a 25 per cent curtailment of production, a restriction of ma- ( chine production to 60 hours a week,* divided in two shifts of 30 ( hours each. Under the cotton tex tile code, the first to be promulgat ed by NRA machine hours are re- 1 stricted to two shifts of 40 hours * each . 1 Asks No Redurtion. The union's demand for a 30 hour week with no reduction in wages 1 from the levels now paid for 40 hours, was regarded as certain tol‘ draw firm opposition from ,*ie in dustry. George A. Sloan, chairman ' of the cotton textile code author- ' lty. recently asserted the industry ‘ was solidly opposed to any reduc- * tion from the 40 hour week now in 1 effect. Fear that a Renetal strike in the * cotton textile .ndustry might be followed by walkout; in the silk ® and woolen industries was express- ! ed by union leaders, but they prom- c ised they would make every eff(n! c to confine the strike to the cotton |r and rayon branches. 1 FERA Office Tries in s**bniK Project .Inn," t Asking For Three Or Four Super visor Aides.
