W. PICKARD -By- -EDWARD G by Western Newspaper Union. X7ITH the arrest of Bruno Richard ' Hauptiuapn government In .New York city, the agents and state police appeared to be. well oh the way toward the strike to all branches of the textile Industry, Gorman sent out orders for 20,000 dyers to quite their jobs. The union workers were still enraged at Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, NRA administrator, for his attack on the strike at a meeting of code authorities in New York. He charged that the walkout was in "absolute violation of an agreement made by the United Textile Workers with the government last June. This the union leaders flatly denied, and they demanded the resignation of Johnson. Gorman said : We will not join In submitting any issue to the NRA as long as General) Johnson is administrator or occupies a position of determining influence in the recovery administration. We said he ought to resign and we meant It. Since that is our view, we could not join in any submission to the NRA while he has the power to make NRA decisions. If present plans are carried out, a quarter of a million cotton garment workers will go on strike throughout the country on October 1. This strike is called, according to the union leaders, because the manufacturers refused to comply with NRAs order to reduce the weekly working hours from 40 solving the Lindbergh baby kidnaping and murder mystery. . The prisoner, a German a lien thirty-fiv- e years old, was nabbed after he had given to a filling station man a $10'' gold certificate that was found to be part of the ransom paid the kidnapers by Dr. John F.

Its nature is yet undetermined. Its scope is still veiled In secrecy. There Is the certainty, however, that the Roosevelt administration is prepared to present proposals dealing in a new way with the railroads of the country. The first Intimation of this probability came recently through a visit to the President by Joseph B. Eastman, federal of railroads. Mr. Eastman let it be known after an extended conference with the President that railroad legislation was being drafted and that it would be presented to congress with the request that It be placed near the top of the must legislation desired by the President Since Mr. Eastmans visit to the summer white house at Hyde Park, New York, however.

Quite unofficially, it is said restoration of the Hapsburg monarchy would not be opposed by either France or Italy, but the British foreign office scouted the idea. The little entente nations would be strongly against it hut might. not hold the Vienna government entirely responsible. In Vienna a spokesman for the foreign office said that the return to Austria of the Hapsburg family, even as private individuals, is still Impossi' ble." Some member of the Hapsburg family may be allowed to return to represent the family in the long pending lawsuit over, the Hapsburgs proper- ties, he said, but this Is not likely to be Archduke Otto, because of the danger that disturbances might result from his presence. Socialists and labor unions would surely start trouble. the cotton pro- section of the farm administration, announced that the third cotton parity payment due in December would be combined with the second rental payment and that both would be distributed in October. The total thus to be paid out will approximate $72,500,000. Mr. Cobb said that tenants and share croppers had an interest in the .parity? payment and that to put off payment until December, the usual season for many tenants and renters to move to other farms, would cause unnecessary complications.

Coupled witii the certainty that there will be railroad legislation considered by the forthcoming Federal ., session' of .' congress' Ownership . Is a strong renewal of activity . atnong advocates of government ownership. In. previous .letters, I have reported ownership advocates in and out of the administration, were said to be working on plans for legislation designed eventually to result in federal' ownership of the transportation Systems. How far this has gone cannot now be stated. It can be said definitely, however, that the movement is gaining force and observers well acquainted with the undercurrent of government plans Insist that the railrbads"- have a battle on their hands that is larger than the immediate prospect of additional restrict: I : i. ive legislation. " ' ' In some quarters" in Washington we hear the expression that the administration plans to seek enactment of regulation for the "bus lines and other carriers that are In competition with the railroads. This has been tried several times before, but" nothing, has come of it because congress heretofore has refused to he serious about legislation for control of the bus. lines operating over state and national highways. It is. to be recalled, though, that congresses heretofore-- ' have not been as subservient to the Chief Executive as has been the case since the New Deal became operative a year, and a' half ago.: g0 the extent to which the "administration will or can. go respecting, control of the bus lines seems at this writing to be. highly problematical. Authori:, ties tell me, however, that plan, which must' Be assumed to have Presidential approval,, will be comprehensive and of itself,- should give an indication of the severity of the fight that Is to come. " ' - - vocates are using the argument and find their case Is difficult to prove, because the average Individual does not understand the ins and outs of such financial problems. On the side of the railroads, the argument is being advanced that the carriers, 'for the most part are In fairly good financial shape and that as- soon as there is any sign ofrecovery they will benefit by an increased volume of traffic which, "of course, means more revenue. The railroads claim further that there, is too much restrictive legislation anyway, and' that Additional steps by the government in the nature of supervisory control is going to make their job more difficult if they are to earn sufficient revenue to pay their ex. penses,. There is. still .another phase of the railroad question that is causing some concern among students'of the. problem of transportation,. It is that, if the of Interstate Commerce present set-u- p commission control over the railroads .is disturbed, the chances are great that politics will again become involved. I think most persons agree that the railroads have kept out of politics to a large extent in the last ten or fifteen years, but the students of transportation insist to me that if. such an office, as secretary of transportation with cabinet, membership is created 'tight then the. , railroads'', again will be In politics up toi lehrs. " Politicians .will not long overlook 'the .opportunity to dig theif "fingers into such, a luscious situation." They" will see how they can manipulate freight rates to, the benefit of their own1" districts or states or other areps, they will likewise see numerous' jobs! and politics without jobs sinks :to a low ebb. It is thus made to appear, and in .this statement I am voicing the consensus of numerous observers, that we are.on the vergd of a crucial decision. .
