Freeman Of Opposing Group Pleads For The Defeat Of Bond Issue In State
DENOUNCES COERCION
Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—UP~War veterans who seek payment of a Slate soldier's bonus are In the same class as "mercenary Hessian drcnadiers," Addison B. Freeman, of the American Veterans Associa¬ tion, declared today.
The association Is vigorously op¬ posing efforts of ex-servicemen to secure approval ot an amendment to the State Constitution permitting a bond issue ot $50,000,000 to pay such a bonus to veterans of the Sp-inlKli-American and World wars and the Boxer Rebellion.
Kreeman, in a telegram to Otto Mcssner. State Commander ot the American I.cgion, diargcd the Legion "had taken n. wrong attitude in supporting the bonus amend¬ ment."
"We believe your stand incom¬ patible with the best interests ot the State," the telegram said, "and ask for an explanation of your posi¬ tion."
Tlie reported plan of the Legion to iiiace a uniformed man at every pcjfling place in the Commonwealth was denounced by the American Veterans Asso.iation as "improper attempt at coercion of voters through the use of the uniform."

MYSTERIOUS DEATH \   PROBED BY CORONER
Mysterious circumstances veil the •udden death ot a Nantlcoke woman who passed away last night In Nantlcoka hospital one hour after •he had been admitted. The woman nad been separated from her hus- oand tor the past two years and *as engaged as housekeeper for a >.'Idower.
The victim was Mrs. Julia Stefa- W'k, 46, ot 120 E. Union street. Her employer was Michael Hrinko, father of four children. He was not »t home when the woman collapsed.
Patrolman Anthony Swltras ot ^antic^ke Police Department Inves¬ tigated tlie case. He reports that one ot the Hrinko children stated 'he woman complained ot a head- B«h. .. - oclock    whllo   Bha    was
seated in a chair. The child de¬ clared that a few minutes later the victim tell to tlie floor. A neighbor was summoned and she was taken to the hospital.
Upon arrival at the Institution, .Mrs. Stefanick was unconscious and ilid not regain her senses before death. County Coroner I. C. Mor¬ gan was called on the case. After viewing tho remains he hesitated to declare tiiat death was due to natural causes or whether it might have been caused througii other means. A post-mortem examination will be cdiulucted today.

•Washington, Octfl 28. —UP — America's great steal companies were charged with "coUu»lon" to¬ day by Joseph B. Eastman, Federal Transportation Co-ordinator, who rejected their bld» LOOCOOO tons ot steel rails.
The rails were to have been bought by the nation's railroads, with funds borrowed from the gov¬ ernment, in a dual effort to Im¬ prove road beds and speed the wheels ot Industry.
Eastman, however, made public letters from four big steel com¬ panies, all ot which offered to sell first class rails at $37.75 per ton.
In a reply addressed to W. A. Irvin. president of the United States Steel Corporation; Eugene Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Company; L. K. Block, chairman ot the Inland Steel Company, and Arthur Boeder, receiver ot the Col¬ orado Fuel and Iron Company, the administrator said:
"The fact that these letters bear a common date, that they r.^me an identical price for the first quality rail, F. O. B. mill, and that this prloe to the odd tlgufe of $37.75, point unmistakably to the conclu¬ sion that the letters were the result of consultation and collusion."
Eastman said that unless the steel companies reduced their bids to $35 a ton, or allowed their books to be examined to provide for "some safeguard to the consumer," ho would   reject   their   bids.
Backed By Roosevelt The co-ordinator said In his let¬ ter that his refusal to accept the bids had been authorized by Presi¬ dent Roosevelt, who regards the Iirogram to aid tho railroads as an Integral part of his whole recovery plan.
"Because ot the evident consulta¬ tion and collusion In arriving at the new and uniform base prices," East¬ man explained. "It seems clear that these are non-competitive prices lacking the safeguard to the con- I sumer which competition provides. Manifestly, also the NRA code was not intended to limit competition. On the contrary, it Is by its own terms a 'code of fair competition."
"In view of these circumstances and of the past history ot the steel- rail prices In this country and what is known about them, I am author¬ ized by the President to say that the Federal government is unwilling to lend money to railroad companies for the purchase ot steel rails at the new base prices which have been filed, witliout some safeguard to the consumer and to the public interest to take the place of competition. Tills substitute safeguard Is an ex¬ amination by government account¬ ants ot the Vioks and cost records of the steel companies.
"Under existing candltlons and to avoid possible delay the government Is willing to lend the necessary funds without such an examination, provided the base price, F. O. B. mill, tor first quality steel rail, is made not more than $35 per gross ton."
Must End Diiputet Labor disputes pointed tonight to a showdown on whether various In¬ dustrial theories such as those held by Henry Ford and the nation's giant steel companies will come un¬ der the Roosevelt Administration new deal policies embodied in NRA. The administration made clear that It was backing .NRA to the limit, even at the risk of a Suiireme Court test ot the constitutionality of the Recovery Act.

RECEIVES SIX RULES
Standard Of Fair Practice Is Set Forward By NRA For   Industrial   Codes
BAN UNDERSELLING
Larger Share Of Consumer Dollar For Middleman Seen  In  Latest  Spread
STUDY TAX AND WAGE
¦Washington, Oct. 28 —UP —Six basic and standardized rules ot fair practice were recommended by the NRA tonight for inclusion in all future iDdustriaJ codes. A Joint ctsmmit*—-j^mtmafOAe -IWI* the Commerce Department developed the principles after a study ot more than 1,000 proposed codes and of rules approved by the Federal Trade Commission.
The committee found that "while unfair practices can be covered by six basic principles, there have been over a thousand different ways ot stating them." It felt such diversity would hinder con¬ sideration and enforcement of codes.
The six provisions would cover: "Inaccuracy: Under this heading are the restrictions against Inac¬ curate advertising and other mis¬ representations ....
"Attacking Competitors: This heading gmbracea the practices aimed against competitors and their business such as inaccurate reference thereto, claims ot gen¬ erally underselling all competitors, unjustified threats of legal pro¬ ceedings, and, most Important of all, selling below cost.
"Price Discrimination: Secret payments or allowances of any kind fall within this class; also any form of discriminate rebate and consignment except on a bona fide order or in a form that ts account¬ able.
"Commercial Br i b e r y: Than which there is no greater evil, as it results in the betrayal ot a trust, is covered by prohibiting the infiu- encing or rewarding the action of an employee or agent without the knowledge ot the employer or tho principal, and the rendering of an inaccurate  bill.
"Breach ot Contract: It is con¬ sidered in this bracket that the Interference with another's con¬ tracts or the repudiation ot one's own are equally reprehensible.
"Coercion: Under this caption are the forced purchase of one article by the purchase ot another and the discrimination known as the black-list.
An increasingly larger share of the consumer's dollar has been going to the middleman since last May, which was early in the Re¬ covery fight, Frederic C. Howe, consumer's counsel of the Agricul¬ ture Adjustment Administration, said today. On a study ot the costs of 14 leading products supplying the housewives" tables, Howe esti¬ mated that the spread between what the housewife pays for groceries and the amount the farmers re¬ ceives was at Its highest September 28th.
"The figures,"" Howe sajd, "re- emphasize the need ot analyzing these distributors' and processors' margins more thoroughly and ot bending every effort to reduce tlio spread all down the line." Howe conceded that processing taxes and higher wages for I,,abor miglit ac¬ count for some ot the Increase and that the increase might be due in part to the low margin under which middlemen operated in the first part ot the year.
"But," he added, "I concur In the opinion of Dr, Rextord Guy Tug- well that, despite these added costs, the middlemen's margins can bo brought down by eliminating waste ot all kinds. Including wasteful services involved In high-pressure selling.
"I agree heartily with his sug¬ gestion that 'Reduce the spread" is an appropriate and necessary slogan tor tlie Reco\ery program."
Flight Of Jews Leads To Riots

CALL TO PINCHOT TO USE INFLUENCE IN MINE DISPUTE
Governor Is Looked Upon As Powerful Mediator In The Hard Coal Region
A TIME FOR ACTION
Governor Pinchot has a rare op¬ portunity to render memorable services to a section of the Com¬ monwealth that honored him with the greatest vote ever accorded a candidate tor the high office of Governor, lending his Influence and assistance toward a settlement ot the present distressing situation that threatens to paralyze business Industry and social order In the two counties that produce two- thirds of anthracite tonnage.
During his two terms as Govern¬ or he has always maintained close connections with the working forces ot the anthracite territory and under such conditions there does not seem to be any other distin¬ guished citizen so capable ot render¬ ing aid necessary to bring the warring leaders of anthracite work¬ ers to amicable terms in order that workers and business can enjoy to the fullest the prosperity the an- tliraoite industry at last promises after a long and discouraging period   of   stagnation.
A few days delay and it may be too late to bring his Influence to bear In such a manner that tho wheels of Industry may be again set In motion and confldence re¬ stored to the halt million people In Luzerne and Lackiwanna coun¬ ties, worried and disheartened just at a time when the season of cheer and   good   will  is so close at hand.
The present chaotic situation cannot be continued for a much longer period without bringing Irreparable damage to an industry that in ten years has lost half its tonnage and which for the first time has good cause to feel that the worst is over and that pros¬ perous days are about to return. Tonnage reports show that tho in¬ dustry is one million tons ahead ot the same period for 1932. This is the first swing in the right direc¬ tion in several years and no effort should be considered too great to protect  It.
Governor Pinchot Is perhaps the only man In Pennsylvania in posi¬ tion to render the service that is desired.   Will ho do If?

DANCE PAVILION LOST IN EARLY SUNDAY FIRE
ALL GRIEVANCES HELD IN DISPUTE OFFERED REMEDY
Official Statement Urges Miners To Return To Places On Tuesday With Chance To Again Build Up Old-Time Process For Removal Of Causes Of Present Walkout
FATHER CURRAN URGES PEACE
Reinstatement without discrimin¬ ation ot men who deserted ranks ot District One, United Mine Workers ot America, for tlie recently organ¬ ized Anthraclto Miners of I'ennsyl- vanla, last night appeared as a possible solution ot Luzerne county's widespread mine strike.
From John Boylan, District One president, the Independent learned last night that such a proposal, it made in the proper manner, will meet favorable action ot the dis¬ trict executive board. Tlio action, it taken, would bo somewhat simi¬ lar to that of William J. Sneed, president of the United Mine Workers in the Illinois tjeld, who yesterday Issued an invitation to employes of two companies who affiliated with the Progressive Miners Union, to return to the U. M. W. of A. without cost or dis¬ crimination.
It was pointed out In union circles here last night tluit United Mine Workers who join a dual organiza¬ tion automatically forfeit their rights and privileges in the union. District One officers, however, have held tliat intimidation and threats of violence have resulted in many members forsaking tho old union and Joining the new and that these men would bo done nn liiju,stlce if deprived of the rights and protec¬ tion of their original organization. Further Indication that concilia¬ tory machinery Is being set in oper¬ ation by the United Mine Workers organization was seen yesterday when officers and committeemen of every local union, under the Glen Alden Coal Company, met the dis¬ trict executive board yesterday at Scranton and issued a statement urging the men to report to work on Tuesday morning. The entire Luzerne county system ot the Glen Alden has been shut down for more than ten days by the general strike call ot tlie Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania.
Conditioni Of Peace The "olive branch" ot the District One officials will not be looked upon kindly by officials ot the Anthracite Miners ot Pennsylvania, as Boylan made It clear last ni.^ht that the men eligible to receive the special con¬ sideration would be those allegedly misled by sponsors ot the new union and not Its officers, most of whom are expelled from tho United Mine Workers for terms averaging fifteen years. Those in this group would Include Thomas Maloney of Wilkes- Barre Township, jiresldcnt; Willard Morgan, Scranton, vice president, and Henry Schuster, Scranton, secretary-treasurer.
Rlnaldo CappellinI, State presi¬ dent ot the new union, was quoted last night as declaring the member¬ ship ot his union would "positively not" accept a reinstatement offer if such a move was made by the Dis¬ trict One executive board.
Possibility ot a reconciliation be¬ tween the United Mine Workers and members who have joined the new union loomed almost on the eve of a special convention called by the A. M. of P., tor the purpose of dis¬ cussing conditions that led to form¬ ation of the new union. CappellinI was quoted last night as saying, "We'll leave it up to tho delegates whether they desire the membership to continue in our organization or stop being In it. Were going to take up the conditions in the mines during the past five years, especial¬ ly violations of the contract be¬ tween the operators and the United Mine Workers of America.'"
The special convention, scheduled to open its first day's session to¬ morrow morning at ten oclock In the Y. M. C. A. auditorium on North Main street, will begin on the day that the annual John Mitchell ob¬ servance by the anthracite workers will bo celebrated. Today Is the Mllcliell anniversary but the ranks of mine workers will observe it to¬ morrow. A recent proclamation to this effect was issued by Thomas Kennedy, international secretary- treasurer of the United Mine Work¬ ers, in which he urged all mine workers to remain away from work in commemoration ot the Immortal union leader.
Restore Grievance Body In union circles here last night, the action of the District One exec¬ utive board, in meeting represent¬ atives of all the Glen Alden Coal Company local unions, was looked upon as meaning that the district adminlHtratlon may recognize gen¬ eral grievance committees which were abolished by order of the exec¬ utive board some years ago.
General grievance committees flourished at one time In every big anthracite producing company In District One. While their existence Is not siieclfically provided for in the union constitution the general lioUics at th.it time functioned un¬ der guidance ot district officers who played an Important part In their formation about 1917.
Rlnaldo CappellinI, State presi¬ dent of the A. M. ot P., came Into prominence about 1920 as president ot the Pennsylvania Coal Company general grievance committee, then the mo.st powerful ot the bodies. He is reputed to liave called 65 strikes In an eleven month period ns head of this committee. Subsequently abuses are alleged to have crept into the conduct ot general commit¬ tee affairs In which politics played a prcjmincnt part. Several years ago. by order of the district executive iiorird, tho general grievance com¬ mittees were abolished.

MALONEY EXPLAINS CONVENTION PLANS
Early today fire destroyed the dancing pavilion In the Dunmore ball park. Origin of the blaze Is unknown. An estimate ot the loss was fixed at $8,000, The building, a two-story franio structure, 90 by 100 feet, is a total wreck. The property was ow.ied by the I'otter estate and in recent years had been leased periodically to several pro¬ moters.
Dunmore and Throop firemen fought the blaze for one hour. Traffic on tlie Lackawanna Trail was impeded, due to liuridreds ot motorists flocking to the scene from various sections ot Lackawanna valley.
The objective in calling a special convention ot Antliracito Miners ot Pennsylvania at this time was ex¬ plained in detail by President Thomas Maloney to delegates at¬ tending the general session ot em¬ ployees ot Glen Alden Coal Com¬ pany in Union Hall, this city, last night. Representatives of eighteen tilen Alden mine locals nffiliated with the new union answered the roll call and reported whether their respective collieries are idle as a result ot the strike call.
In his remarks, the aggressive in¬ surgent leader who is liopetui of unseating John Boylan and other officers ot District One, United Mine Workers ot America, pointed out that all grievances ot mine workers in tlie district will be taken up and disciis.sed on tlie con¬ vention floor after the delej-.ales are seated tomorrow at tlie Y. M. C. A, He further advised the men on strike to remain idle until the pro- tram to be outlined at the sessions
of the convention is carried out.
Maloney said tiiat State and Fo4- eral labor deiiartment officials hafl been invited by telegram to attend the convention and show their hand in iiringing about peace and tho resumption ot coal mining. Tha leader hinted tliat failure ot these olllclals to accept the Invitation ot tlie new union may mean eventually tlie expansion ot the present indus¬ trial strife over a larger area and a general tieup ot all companies la this dl.strlct.
Tlie new president, however, was emphatic in stating that the con¬ vention would demand tho decapi¬ tation of John Boylan and a special election to decide which organiza¬ tion has tile sympatliy and mipport ot tlie rank and file. Just as in United Mine Worker conventl<mH. dilegiites to tomorrow's conclave will iiy i)a8ed upon tile size ot the membership In each local union, one delegate being allowed for every T)© meiiibers.
