Constitution

Insisted Upon; Rail
; Solution Urged
. PITTSBURGH, Nov. U-JP)-The
new congress of Industrial
organizations, rolling at top speed
established a constitution today
without dissension and swung in
to! the task of writing its econom
ic! and industrial policies for the
future.
iThe convention approved,
shortly before adjournment until
tomorrow, strict observance of its
contractual relations with employ
ers as an "unshakable policy."
; Homer Martin international
president of the United Auto
Workers union, supporting the re
solution incorporating that pol
icy, pledged that his union would
do its part to observe contracts in
the auto- industry. He promised,
too, to write contracts with every
auto maker and parts manufactur
er in the nation.
The ten-point constitution vest
ed broad powers in the hands of
its officials, and provided for the
collection of a "war chest"- at
more than twice the rate of the
rival AFL.
! John Li. Lewis, chairman of the
convention and apparently certain
of election as president of the new
labor group, demonstrated the
firm grip he held on the 500 dele
gates during the day when he
crushed move by some delegates

Intend to let a man merely with

misunderstanding on this matter."
West coast delegates had
sought to insert the phrase, "or
political ' belief," in the section
specifying that the organization
should include persons "regard
less of race, creed, color or na
tionality!" Harry Bridges, west coast CIO
director, Mervyn Rathbone, of the
jAmerlcan Communications associ
ation, and" Joseph Curran, of the
National Maritime union, urged
reconsideration of the section yes
terday. They were ruled out of
order.'
With a roar ot applause, the
convention suspended rules and
voted approval of President Roo
sevelt' message to Germany on
the Jewish situation. " .
The . resolution directed the
chairman "to pay our accord to
President JRoosevelt for his public
statement - denouncing Hitler's
persecution of the Jews.
Delegates ; approved a resolu
tion of support for the Railroad
Brotherhoods in Joint efforts with
the carriers to draft a legislative
program to rehabilitate the na
tion's transportation system. An
other instructed the executive
cosncil to take appropriate action
toward development of coopera
tlves to protect wage earners
against price increases.
The council also was instructed
to create a system of union labels

The Oregon agricultural in

Widens Breacli
With Germany;
To Sign Today
Commerce With Reich to
Suffer as Blacklist
Effect Enhanced
J000 Concessions Made;
new Agreement With y v
Canada Included
WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-r1)-The
United States and Great Brit
ain drew closer together today by
announcing me conclusion 01 re
ciprocal trade agreement, while
the United States and Germany
drifted farther apart.
The state department said the -British
and new Canadian trade
pacts would be signed at the
White House tomorrow afternoon
at 4 o'clock. Prime Minister Mac
Kenzie Kink of Canada will come
here for the signing. Secretary of
State Hull, Mr. King and probably
the British ambassador. Sir Ron
ald Lindsay, will speak after the
cccemony.
The Anglo-American agreement
links two countries enjoying 40
per cent of the world's trade,
makes the 19th agreement con
cluded by Secretary Hull and
brings within trade agreements
about 60 per cent of the nation's
total trade.
At the same time it has the ef
fect of excluding Germany fur
ther from trade with this country
and deepens the abyss between the
reich and the United States.
IOOO Concessions
Grunted in Treaty
Officials" estimated that -about
1000 tariff concessions are grant
ed by both sides in the Anglo
American agreement. Since Ger
many is on the United States eco
nomic blacklist because she dis
criminates against Americas
trade, she will not be entitled to
shares in L the tariff . reduction
granted Great Britain as other na-
tions enjoying most-favored-na-t'en
treatment from this govern
ment will be able to do.
Trade between Germany and
the United States, which has al
ready declined considerably in
1938, may experience a further
drop. In a sense, the new pact is
considered Hull's answer to the
challenge presented by Germany's -trade
practices, such as barter
deals. .
Rumors reached the capital to
day that the German ambassador,
Htns Dieckhoff, might be ordered
back to Berlin by his government
as a protest against President
Roosevelt's -declaration that Ger-
many's treatment of minorities
was unbelievable in a 20th cen
tury civilization. These reports
were inconfirmed by Americaa r j
German sources here.
It was announced at the White ,
House today that Mr. Roosevelt's l
remarks applied to treatment of
Catholics in the reich as well as
of Jews.
Statements Back
President's Stand
Several members of congress
and officials issued pronounce
ments strongly backing Mr. Roose
velt's stand today. Senator Logan
(D-Ky) suggested -that Americaa
republics and European democra
cies "ostracize" Hitler's ' govern
ment as "the .only way to bring a
Secretary Hull said he had not
received confirmation of reports
that the American embassy in Ber
lin had tiled a-protest with the .
German foreign office against
damage to American property dur
ing the anti-Jewish outbreaks.
However, he said American repre
sentatives would, under standing
Instructions, have the right to
make protests in 'individual cases.
Hull plainly elated today over
the trade pacts. The British-Amer- -lean
agreement, first of its kind
between the two countries, has
long been a major goal of the state
department. The Canadian pact
replaces one expiring December

Details of the agreements will
be announced tomorrow night, for
