No. 25 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCT. 26, 1937 PRICE FIE CENTS Rival Labor Unions Ready To Talk Peace Spokesmen Push Through Preliminary Quesions For Action On Unity Lewis And Martin Confer On Policy WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.- (P) - Spokesmen for the A.F. of L. and the CIO rushed- through a mass of pre- liminary questions today and reached the point of submitting to each other their proposals for peace and unity in the ranks of labor. Gathered about a conference table for the first time, representatives of the two embattled factions devoted two sessions today to a discussion of procedural problems, some of them highly controversial. Then, a joint statement was issued, saying it was "hoped" that when the conference reconvened tomorrow, each side would be ready to suggest a "basis" for peace negotiations. To this, George Harrison, leader of the A.F. of L. delegation, added: "Tomorrow we will take up the main question of the dispute. We will put on our overalls and see what we can do with it." Both Harrison and Philip Murray, leading CIO spkesman, told report- ers that since the CIO delegation of 10 men and the A.F. of L. delegation of three had full authority respec- tively to negotiate any kind of a set- tlement the 13 constituted a "full- fledg d" delegation. In addition other procedural mat- ters, the question of what new mem- bers each has taken in since the or- ganizations split apart two years ago was raised. "Both parties found that they need- ed certain infcrmation in order to ad- vance discussions in the conference and it is expected that information will be available by tomorrow morn- ing." the statement said.; In explanation, Murray said theI Federation, has asked specifically for] exclusive jurisdiction. If a peace planF is to be adopted the leaders must de- cide which wo kers or industries or complete identification of the Unions] which have joined the CIO, including 605 local industrial unions. "We are asking the Federation to submit to us the same informationt regarding their new groups," Murray added.1 In these requests for information,] observers saw arising the knotty ques- plants lie wthin the sphere of theI CIO and which fall within the A.F.1 of L.'s field of operations.3 For the nub of the controversy is:] Contiued on Page :w Amateurs Get Chance Tonight At Band Show Audience Singing, Novelty Tunes To Garnish 14 Act Varsity Night Program Paced by the "Six Sophisticate Sophomores," metamorphosed from the "Five Foolish Freshmen" who won first prize last year, the Univer- sity Band's second annual Varsity Night will swing into session at 8 p.in.

Labor senatorial candidates were leading every state as returns from Saturday's voting still came in. The Government pinned hopes for a majority'in the Senate on the State of South Australia. The margin of labor candidates there was slim on the basis of unof- ficial figures. The Australian Senate is elected by proportional representation so that the counting of ballots takes greater time than for the House of Representatives. Should th C)evernment capture the three seats at stake in Suth Australia it would retain its control of the 36member Upper House where it now controls 17 seats not contested at this election. However, the definite swing toward labor that became apparent in all states left the possibility that South Australia might join New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tas- mania and Western Australia where observers conceded labor yas gain- ing It was predicted that Labor's win- ning a majority in the Senate would precipitate a Governmental crisis when the new senate meets next July and organization of the new Gov- ernment begins. Meeting To Discuss Co-op Incorporation Incorporation of the Wolverines eating cooperative preliminary to signing a land contract for the build- ing at 209 S. State St. will be the main subject for action at the general membership meeting at 7 p.m. today in Natural Science Auditorium.

The plan, proposed in a notice urg- ing attendance of the co-op's 650 members, provides that if "profits' warrant it, a proportionate reduction in the price of board will be made during the last few weeks of next semester, instead of cash payment of dividends and return of membership fees in cash. Cou ghlin Sells His Publication To Ohio Group Walter Baertschi To Head Organization In Toledo; Priest's Return Asked DETROIT, Oct. 25.-(JP)-Sale. of "Social Justice," publication of Father Charles E. Coughlin's National Union for Social Justice, to an organization headed by Walter Baertschi of Toledo was announced today. The sale, made known by Father Coughlin's counsel, thus removed the priest's hand from a second medium through which he had carried on po- litical and social crusades. Recently Father Coughlin, follow- ing reproof from his church superior for certain utterances, cancelled a scheduled series of radio addresses which would have marked his return to the public forum after months long absence. Announcement of the sale came hard upon a statement by Baertschi thateFather Coughlin would not again write for the paper or deliver ad- dresses on national issues until learn- ing "whether he can speak his own mind." In the midst of the new arrange- ments, plans went forward in the at- tempt to return Father Coughlin to the air. Baertschi, the priest's chief lieu- tenant in the National Union for So- cial Justice, announced formation of the "committee of one million Chris- tians" whose members, he said, will seekto prevail on the church to have Father Coughlin resume his broaa- casts.

Three Scholarship f Winners Are Name The three winners of Phillip; Scholarshing in Ttin and Greek for Stiffens Line At Shanghai Jap Drives Slowed Down After Six Day Thrust, A Spokesman Says Ex-Minister Urges Advance On Russia SHANGHAI, Oct. 26.-(Tuesday) -(P)-Chinese bombing planes car- ried the fight to Japanese positions on Shanghai's northern fringe early today while Chinese infantrymen held doggedly against the onslaughts of some 160,000 Japanese along the twisting front north of the city. A Japanese army spokesman ad- mitted the Japanese drive had "slowed down" after six days of the fiercest offensive operations of the ten-weeks-old battle' for Shanghai. Foreign experts estimated some 300,- 000 Chinese troops were holding the line northwest from Shanghai to the Yangtze estuary. The city's international areas rocked to the bomb explosions, While new heavy anti-aircraft guns re- cently installed in Hongkew by the Japanese searched the moonlit heav- ens for the raiders. Fragments and shrapnel fell in. the international districts and police reported three Chinese had been killed and 19 injured in those areas in the last 24 hours. Five miles northwest of the city Chinese and Japanese were fighting hand to hand in the streets of Ta- zang, key to the back door of the Chinese positions at Kiangwan and Chapei, where the Chinese flank is protected by the neutrality of the International Settlement. Urges Attack On Russia TOKYO, Oct. 25.-()-General Baron Sadao Araki, who as minister of war directed Japan's conquest of Manchuria in 1931-33, declared to- day "it probably is necessary for Japan to strike directly at Russia" to eliminate Communist influence from the Far East. Communism, he asserted, is the root of the present turmoil in the orient and the cause of the Chinese- Japanese conflict. General Araki, in retirement since the Tokyo army uprising of February, 1936, recently emerged to become a member of Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye's high advisory council. He has long been a, strong advocate of a stern policy toward Soviet Russia. No Sitting Erect. For League Girls, No Sirr-r-e-eeeeee The League Council, a dozen good girls and true, were jolted out of their lolling lethargy yesterday after- noon by Miss Elizabeth MacDonald Osborne, personality expert from New York City. The members of the council were sprawling over the tables in cus- tomaryfashion, discussing the Big Apple, or something, when Miss Os- borne dropped into the smoke-filled room to give the young women a few hints in the general problems of poise and bearing. "Do not act as if you were ashamed of your feet by hiding them under the chair," she said. "Sit erect with your feet crossed (at the ankles) be- fore you."

Scottsboro Boy Loses Appeal To High Court Justice Black Is Silent; Patterson Doomed To 75 Year Sentence WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-(P)-The Supreme Court, after twice saving him from death refused today to in- terfere with a 75-year prison term imposed in 1936 upon Heywood Pat- terson, one of nine Negroes who fig- ured in the Scottsboro case. In asking the Court to review his conviction, Patterson contended' it was impossible to obtain a fair trial in Morgan County, Ala. He was found guilty of attacking Mrs. Victoria Price, a white woman, in a freight train near Scottsboro, Ala., in 1931. Justice Hugo L. Black did not par- ticipate in the decision. There had been some talk among observers that, if he did participate, the decision might be challenged because of his former membership in the Ku Klux Klan. Patterson and the others escaped the death penalty in 1932 when the High Tribunal ruled they had not been adequately represented by coun- sel and set aside their conviction. Subsequently, in 1935, the Court or- dered a new trial because negroes had been "systematically excluded" from juries which had indicted and convicted Patterson and the other' Negroes. At the next trial, Patter- son was sentenced to prison. Scandal Costs Belgian Prime Minister J ob Cabinet Resigns; Draft Letter Of Confidence To Former Leader BRUSSELS, Oct. 25.-(/P)-Premier Paul Van Zeeland resigned tonight to defend himself as a private citizen against charges of his politcal ene- mies concerning the administration of the Belgion National Bank when he was its vice-governor five years ago. His cabinet minister resigned en bloc with Van Zeeland and drafted a letter to show their confidence in his integrity. Van Zeeland's decision to quit the Government for a finish fight on his foes' persistent cry of "scandal" in connection with his Bank adminstra- tion threatened to force at least a few days postponement of the Nine-Pow- er Conference called for Oct. 30 at Brussels to seek "amicable means" of ending the Chinese-Japanese war. Moves were under way to retain the same kind of coalition government with little change of personnel, per- haps headed by Foreign Minster P. H. Spaak, Finance Minister Henri De Man, or even a non-poltician as pre- mier. The Government o p p o s i t i o n charged the National Bank, while Van Zeeland was vice-governor, had been negligent in accepting doubtful paper from the Goldzieher and Penso Bank, which failed five years ago. Hop, Look, Listen Boys Tell Co-Eds A t Northwestern EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 25.-(P)-If the co-eds want to date at North- western University they must hop, look and listen.

Those are the three major de- mands of male students, Jane Cline of Glen Ellyn, Ill., and Barbara New Piracy Scare Pushes Europe Close To Warfare France Takes Immediate Action As Two Vessels Are Raided Loyalist Defense Stiffens In North PARIS, Oct. 25.-(AP)-Aerial "Pi- racy" confronted Europe with a new Mediterranean crisis tonight. One French vessel was bombed and sunk and another bombed and burned by planes marked with a black Maltese cross. Three planes shot down while raiding Barcelona were Italian, the Spanish government declared. The Spanish government embassy here said the black cross was the mark of the Spanish Insurgent air- force. Insurgent representatives said they could not describe the standard markings of their pl'anes. Bombs French Submarine A cross-marked air raider bombed and set fire to a French submarine chaser today just outside the port of Fornells, on the island of Minorca of the eastern coast of Spain, less than 48 hours after a similarly- marked seaplane had sunk the French freighter Oued Mellah in the northern Mediterranean. The French government ordered its heavy destroyer Milan, which had just arrived at Toulon with eleven survivors of the Oued Mellah, tb speed immediately to Fornells. The foreikn office issued the following communique : "Following attacks by airplanes, of which two French boats have been the objects, the government has taken urgently necessary dispositions to determine and identify the ag- -gressors and adopt measures which are called for by such attacks. Warship On Scence "Already one warship has left for the scene. The government also is taking dispositions to assure protec- tion for the Air France line between Marseille and Algiers." Government officials who have in- sisted that the vital communications lines between France and her north African colonies must be protected said they considered the two inci- dents in as many days as "very serious." Diplomats believed the immediate reaction would be a stiffening of the French stand at the London meeting tomorrow of the non-intervention sub-committee which is seeking an agreement for the withdrawal of for- eign volunteers from the Spanish civil war.

ROY SIZEMORE Statements by engineering college faculty members last week condem- ing lighting facilities in drafting lab- oratories were upheld yesterday by six students picked at random from persons who have had, or are now taking courses in engineering draw- ing. The chief fault found by the stu- dents in laboratory illumination was the present of shadows. "Insufficient natural and artificial think that it was a definite strain on my eyes." The majority of the students inter- viewed scoffed at the statement that there was no drawing insthe labora- tories after 4 p.m. In spite of the fact that there are no regularly sched- uled classes after that time, they said that it was necessary to work until 6 p.m. in order to finish many exer- cises. Blame for this may be partly laid on faulty lighting. "Lighting in the laboratories is, in general, very poor," Morris Steere, '40E, asserted. "In the first place there is not enough light and in the second place light sources are seem- ingly placed without any thought whatsoever. The shadows are thrown in the wrong places making accurate line innrl irnn.c4h1P nlnec nnP a_ lighting shadows to draw create a great number of making it extremely difficult certain lines," David Lans- dale, '38E, commented. "This ob- viously slows down work besides de- creasing accuracy." More overhead lighting was recommended to im-
