provisions for the cooperative par

the annual convention of the

The convention referred to the

which recommended such action
clearly indicated its objection to
existing methods of alleviating un
employment in this manner.
The unemployment relief pro
gram provided for the appoint
ment of committees by President
Hoover, governors of all states,
mayors and Bther similar officers
of cities and towns and by the
state and local labor bodies. These
committees, working with the as
sistance of federal and state gov

ate recommendations in their re

means of minimizing unemploy

carried to the territories of Al

tant crop months of July and

While conditions In the

unabated, with springs and
streams showing farther decline

they rebels were said to have
withdrawn after heavy fighting,
leaving three machine guns, 4.S00

BERLIN, Oct. 13 (APt
Confusion was added to an al

Reichstag and Prussian diet hvld
stormy sessions and the metal
workers union successfully call
ed 126.000 wor'-i-rs from thir
Jobs.
Paul i-oeb as re-elecr-4

sible. President L-oebe. who fees
served nine rears in that offT,
polled a ifnal vot-s of 229 agairt
209 for Dr. Ernst Scholz, German
peoples party candidate.
Election of Fnnz Stoehr. ra
tionalist socialist, as first vk
president, was th single feature
of the Reichstag election which
the Fascists could claim a?
gain for their party.
The diet session was tuamK
tous. The Fascists and comniu
ists engaged in sharp alterca
tions and blockati any real work.
Even the proposed vote on ro
confidence against the govern
ment had to go over until h
morrow when the delegate -came
hopelessly entangled in a
squabble over the government's
refusal to lift prohibition of the
wearing of communists and Fas
cist uniforms.
The strike of the metal work
ers was linked with the political
situation in its economic signif
icance. The walkout grew out f
the refusal of th workmen tf
accept wage cuts ordered by th
government as a part of Its rw
economic construction policy.
Apparently nobody today for
the moment knew what to do
next. The Reichstag's council ?
elders is attempting to get ad
journment of the house for v

ernment's declaration Is read to
morrow afternon by Chancellor
Breunlng.
There were no disorders in
Berlin today other than the dis
turbances within the two hons
of government. Heavy polic
guards were maintained at 'stra

were established so that the au
