today as the fear that north China

on the lips of foreigners and Chin

'What will be the next Japan

When the conference' ended and
the Japanese announced no decis-

ended somewhat, the residents
feeling there was at least one

Japanese military demonstra

WASHINGTON, June 7. --
President Roosevelt asked con
gress in a special message today
for legislation which ultimately
would give the interstate com
merce commission control of
highway, rail, inland waterway
and air transportation.
He called for the enactment' of
bills to:
Help along railroad refinanc-
iag.
Put air transportation under
the Interstate commerce commis
sion.
Regulate highway motor car
riers.
Put inland waterway and coast
al carriers under the interstate
commerce commission.
Broaden and reorganize the
interstate commerce commission
into a federal transportation com
mission. Continue the work of Joseph
B. Eastman as transportation co
ordinator.
Of the six bills, the president
said . that giving the Interstate
commerce commission broader
powers might have to go over to
the next session; .
"It Is high time to deal with

LONGVIEW, Wash., June 7.
(iP)-Eight state patrolmen and
two patrol wagons arrived here
tonight with orders to keep lum
ber strike pickets from stopping
traffic and preventing . persons
from entering sawmills.
The state officers at once
went among the pickets and told
them they must confine their
picketing "within legal limits"
and that blocking motor and pe
destrian traffic would not be tol
erated. It was, believed here the state
patrolmen were acting under ord
ers of Governor Clarence D. Mar
tin who indicated in a speech be- .
fore the Washington state grange
that he intended to see that em
ployes wishing to return to the
mills are allowed to.
Pickets have stopped mainten

Breaking entirely from the

which has been the executive body

committee issued a statement ask
ing local unions to withhold-dues
from the Northwest council. The
strike committee opposed Abe

The newly appointed strike
committee cf Longview sawmill
and timber workers went under,
the banner of the Aberdeen com
mittee today, repudiating the
leadership of Mulr.
Dan Hawk, chairman of the
Longview strike committee here,
said his group is now empowered
to open negotiations with Long-
view mill operators for a signed
agreement calling for higher .
wages, shorter hours and full
union recognition.
In Seattle, Muir commented as
