Would Call 28th Division into Unit Assembly In Camp At Indiantown Gap
SEEKS FUNDS
Two IVIillion Dollars More Required To Complete Plans At Big Reservation
A MASS REVIEW
HarrlsliuiK, Pa., Nov. 4.—UP— The Htate Department o( Military Affairs is uwaltii* JiiFtructlons from the Jlllltia Finiu of the AVtir Beparlinent before malUnt; lUfinilo plan.s for the trniiiliig ot I'cniisyl- vanla National OuanJ for 1S3+. If futids aie available the entire 2Stli Division will he In camp ut the same time at the new reservation In Indiantown Gap, I/ebanon county.
Plans Bubmlttcil by the ilepart- ment to the militia bureau call for a six weeks training period to be¬ gin on July 7. Alternate plans alMO tre uniler conslderaiion v.hleh would reduce the training period to two weeks.
Approximately J2.000.000 Is needed to complete the Improvements planned for the Indiantown Ha)) reservation. ThlK money 1« needed for mess halls, toilets, nhower baths, watering troughs for horses, sew¬ age disposal plant and hard roads. Word received here recently In¬ formed the department that $200,000 In Federal funds had been allocated for work at the Clap.
Oflieials are waiting to learn what projects have been approved by Washington for Immediate con¬ struction. They hope to obtain additional funds to continue Im¬ provements at the reservation so they will be completed In time for use next  Summer.
More   Money   Needed
Additional funds are needed to acquire more land In the vicinity of the reservation. There is an unexpended balance of an old aii- proprlatlon, but It Is n(jt sulllclent to buy all the ground  needed.
Governor I'lnchot last week In Lancaster while addressing the an¬ nual convention ot the Pennsyl¬ vania National Guard, exi)res-id the hope that It would be possible for him to review the entire divi¬ sion next year at Indiantown Gap The entire scheme depends largely upon the amount ot funds avail¬ able.
The artillery regiments are sure to train at Indiantown Gap next Summer. The infantry und cavalry units are expected to be at Mt. Gretna.
Oflieials In the department have a tentative plan whereby all the guard units will be in camp at tlie same time during the training period. Thia would permit maneu¬ vers between Mt. Gr<;tna and In¬ diantown   Gap.
The cavalry and Infantry while In training could march to the ar¬ tillery reservation and when all units are thero a review ot the en¬ tire division  could be held.
Ford Workers Send In Appeal
Newark, N. J., Nov. 4—UP— Requesting an early hearing on formal charges against Ford Motor Company, counsel for strikers at the Ford company plant In Edgewater tonight set forth In a letter to Recovery Administration Hugh Johnson their grievances concerning the regulation ot working hours.
"Our grievances center aroimd tho tact that the average work¬ er only works for 200 working days In a year and receives therefor a wage at the average rate of $4 a day or a total of $800 as a yearly Income with which to maintain his home and nipport himselt, his wife and family," the letter, also address¬ ed to Senator Wagner of the Labor  lioard,  said.
"We are convinced that the adoption on the principle ot col¬ lective bargaining through rep¬ resentatives of the workers' own choosing Is the only Intelligent method of stabilizing and social¬ izing  Industry."

Washington, Nov. 4—-UP —The State Department today completed final plans for the momentous con¬ ferences next week between Presi¬ dent Roosevelt and Foreign Minister M. M. Litvinov of the Soviet Union, designed to end 16 years of non- intercourse between the United States and the Soviet.
The protocol phase of the plan indicates that lack of troops and a military band will mark the only difference between the welcome to be given Litvinov and that usually accorded visiting statesmen. He will be met here Tuesday by Secretary ot State Hull and taken directly to the White House.
On the political side, the State Uepartment's plans call for a thor¬ ough discussion ot the question ot debts, claims, trade and the absten¬ tion ot Soviet diplomatic agencies here from aiding Communist prop¬ aganda.
On the eve of the conferences the forces that have opposed Soviet recognition for many years showed no weakening in their opinions. The head ot the American Legion in New York publicly objected to the Adnilnistriilion's plan.
Lltvlnov's program, briefly. Is this:
He will arrive In New York early next Tuesday aboard the Beren¬ garla. James C. Dunn, chief of the State Department's division of pro¬ tocol, will meet Litvinov and escort him to Washington. At the Union Station here the Soviet official will be formally welcomed.
Litvinov will be driven to the modest red brick house on Massa¬ chusetts avenue which Is headquar¬ ters ot the Soviet Union Informa¬ tion Bureau, his temporary home. Kn route, perhaps, he will pass the White Stone mansion on 16th street which formerly was the Imperial Russian i:mbas8y. It Is held In trust for the Soviet Government, to whom It would revert upon recogni¬ tion,

OFSTATE'S DYERS
Says Pennsylvania Holds To Its Supreme Rights In Guarding The Public
PERMITS APPEAL
Philadelphia. Nov. 4.—UP—Penn¬ sylvania Is still a sovereign Com¬ monwealth and capable of enact¬ ing Ita own laws. Judge Robert Lamberton ruled today In declaring that a "price fixing" agreement in the cleaning and dyeing Industry was against public policy. The agreement was made to settle a strike affecting  the  Industry  here.
The Phlladeliihla Cleaners and Dyers Association brought equity proceedings to enjoin several firms which allegedly were violating the trade agreement which provides for minimum prices and wages.
The defendants filed objections to the bill of complaint based on the ground that the agreement was against public policy and contrary to decl.slons ot Pennsylvania Su¬ preme Court.
"Being nn Intra-state matter," Judge Lpmberton ruled, Vlt must bo decided In accordance with the lawa of T'ennsylv.Tnia.
"In view of the importance of the case, we will permit an amr'iidment to the bill of complaint so that It may evr-ntually be carried to the Slate Supreme Court."
"It, Is true," sa'd Judge I,aniber- ton. "that the law must progress so as to keep abreast of changing con¬ ditions. It is true th.'il the pulilie policy of our early days may not he the public policy ot todnv." The Jurist added, however, thr't the law should he cert.iin and that "changes should not fluctuate with temporary public clamor or with personal opinion or phillsophy."
"A radical change In the law of Pennsylvania would be required in order that price fixing agreements might be held legal," Judge Lom- herlon stated. "The obvious and best way to accomplish such change would be by an  Act of Legislature.
"Counsel for the complainant ar¬ gued that the making of this agree¬ ment was in nccordince with the liollcy of the NRA. A suffliient le¬ gal answer would be that Pennsyl¬ vania Is still .a sovereign State and that Congress has no power, nor has the President any power under a law of Congress, to declare the policy of Pennsvlvanla In such mat¬ ters."

STRIKERS BOARD TO GET PROPOSAL TO A VERT CRISIS
Speedy Action On The Walkout Of Anthracite Workers Is Obtained On Arrival Here Of Man Trained In Solution Of Many Problems Similar To One Presented Here
MEET AT 11 THIS MORNING
First steps toward a possible con¬ ciliation ot differences responsible for tomorrow's acheduied general strike of 70,000 mine workers In Lu- jierne and L,ackawanna counties will be taken here this morning at eleven o'clock by John D. Moore of New York City, technical advisor of the National Labor Board.
Reaching this city last night after a hurried train trip from Washing¬ ton, Mr. Moore Immediately set about the task assigned -him I9y United States Senator Robert F, Wagner, chairman of the National Labor Board—to Investigate the charges made by the United An¬ thracite Miners ot Pennsylvania against anthracite operators and District One, United Mine Workera of America.
Early today announcements came from Air. Moore. Monsignor J. J Curran. pastor of St. Mary's church, nnd Thomas Maloney, president oi tho new union, that the initial con¬ ference will bs held at eleven o'clock this morning In the rei lory of St. Mary's church, where the labor board advisor will be acquainted with the varioua causes contributory to the Issuance yester¬ day morning of a gi^ncral strike call for every mining operation In tho two counties.
Although discussion ot conditions that led to tho general strike call will be thorough wiicn the confer ence Is held this morning, there Is no possibility that the general strike call will be immediately re¬ scinded. Maloney made that much definite last night when he declared that such an order must first come from a reconvened special conven¬ tion and only after the new union receives positive guarantee ot rec¬ ognition, reinstatement of dis¬ charged men and the right to pre¬ sent grievances to tho National Labor f'.uaid.
Peace Proposal A iieace i>ro|iosaI will bo sub¬ mitted to the new union and Mr. Moore ai this morning's confertnce. It was stated laat night by Mon- sl„'nor Curran. In tho hope of avert¬ ing the turmoil and economic dis¬ tress that would be ocasioned by a lengthy general strike.
In divulging the nature of his plan to the Sunday Independent l.-ist night. .Monsignor Curran said: ".My proposition is this. Arrange for a court of two or more judges or rep¬ resentatives of the N;itional Labor Board of Washington. Conduit open sessions here. Take all the testimony ot the mlnjis relative to their grievances. Then the defense of the coal operators and any other questions In dispute. The miners go back to work In the meantime, pro¬ viding they are convinced of re¬ ceiving a square deal at tho hands of the judges. This would be simi¬ lar to. though not as huge and complicated   a   trial   as   that   which
PENNSYLVANIA'S LOAN CARRIES 18,000 JOBS

Elaborating on the personnel of the proposed court of "two or more," Monsignor Curran declared that Mr. Moore and perhaps Dr. Joseph H. Willitts dean of Whar- ton School. University of Pennsyl¬ vania, could very capably serve as members of the tribunal. Monsignor Curran said last night that he had heard that Dr. Wlllltta who was first assigned here as Investigator, might come to this city tomorrow. Mr. Moore declared he had no knowledge of the reported visit of Dr. Wlllltts.
Federal   Man   Speaks
The Labor lioard Investigator gave his first newspaper Interview to a Siinilay Independent reporter last night shortly atter his confer¬ ence with .Monsignor Curran. He declared that he contemplates a thorough investigation ot the local situation and said he will take up the matter with all parties Involved, Including tho striking miners, offl- ci.Us of District One United Mine Workers of America, and the an¬ thracite operators.
Just what conclusions are to bo drawn will depend entirely upon hla findings, ;\lr. Moore declared, de¬ tailed reports of wiilcii are to be submitted to Sen:4tor Wagner and the National Labor Board at Wash¬ ington. Ho declared the delay in sending a representative ot the board here was not because federal .agencies were neglecting the re¬ gional situation, but because Sena¬ tor Wagner waa endeavoring to as¬ sign an investigator wlio would be familiar with conditions. Dean Willitts was decided upon origin¬ ally and word was given out that he was enroute here, but when the educator reached Philadelphia it was necessary tor him to change Ills   plans.
Mr. Moore, a keen-eyed official with a marked resemblance to Al Smith, ex-Govcrnor of New York State, Is not unfamili.ir with the anthracite region, h:ivlng made sev¬ eral trips here in the past and possessing wn extensive working knowledge ot the hard coal Indus¬ try. He la a graduate of the Massachui-ctts Institute of Tech¬ nology, is a surveying engineer by occupation, had chaj";;e of fuel allo¬ cation for the United States Ship¬ ping Board during the World War and for four years was Conserva¬ tion Commissioner of New York State. He has been connected with the NR.\ In Washington since the start of the Administration's drive to restore prosperity and has taken active iiart In a number of notable labor affairs, including silk strike agitations and bakery employees controversies, all recently settled liy the National L.ibor Board.
