Connection of This Case With Tlia. of
Strecker Denied; Keegan Asserts
Conclusive Proof Is Held
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. (AP) Talk of impeachment
proceedings against Secretary of Labor Perkins cropped up
again today within the house committee on unamerican ac
tivities when that committee renewed its discussion of the
Harry Bridges deportation case. -
Two witnesses declared Bridges, west coast director of
a third, Stephen F. Chadwick, national commander of the
American Legion, asserted that in his opinion there was "no
excuse" for further delay in the Bridges case.
Whereupon, Representative Thomas (R-NJ) said from
the committee table that unless action were "taken quickly
(by Secretary Perkins) after theO-
supreme court's decision , in the
Strecker case" he would "take the
necessary action in congress." La
ter, he said he meant Impeachments
Some weeks ago Chairman Dies
(D-Tez) also spoke of the possi
bility of this step.
- Deportation proceedings were
instituted agaist the Australian
born Bridges some time ago, but
are now held in abeyance pend
ing the outcome of the Strecker
case, which Miss Perkins has
said controls the issues in the
Bridges proceedings.
(A government appeal from an
deportation ; proceedings against
Joseph Strecker, an Arkansas
restaurateur, is now before the

ted former membership in the
communist party, but the cir
cuit court at New Orleans held
that this, alone, was not suffic
ient to warrant deportation. It
noted there had been 'no show
ing that the communist party
advocated overthrow of the gov
ernment by force.) 1
The committee has "repeatedly
clashed with the labor depart
ment; and Miss Perkins oyer the
case. Chairman Dies and others
have disputed the contention
tbat the Strecker case has any
bearing on the Bridges matter.
Chadwick expressed similar views
today.
A Portland, Ore., police officer
told the committee Bridges and
Harold Prltchettt west coast la
bor leaders, were attempting
through their organizations to
overthrow .the United States gov
ernment. .
Capt. James Keegan, chief of
Portland detectives, testified evi
dence in his fUes "supports this
statment absolutely."
"Do you i say their real pur
pose is to overthrow this govern
ment by force and violence?" Rep
resentative Starnes ' (D-Ala), a
committee member, asked.
"Yes, sir'; was the reply. "They
are moving ! through their labor
movements land anything else
open to them. We have in our
files ample information to prove
these statements conclusively."

Other Nations to Release
-Workers for Peaceful
Production, View
NEW YORK, Dec. 7-;P)-World
wide war hysteria is causing an
nual expenditure of $15,000,000.
000 and employment of 15,000,
000 workers for non-productive
armament, H. L. Derby, president.
American Cynamid & Chemical
Corp., told the convention of Na
tional association of manufactur
ers today.
"While their (foreign arming
nations) own nationals are busy
ing themselves with these pur
suits, they have turned to the
United States ... to furnish ma
terials," be said, adding that a
return to "world sanity" would
mean that "about 8,000,000
workers will be released - largely
for the production of, industrial
produces. ' .
"That is equal to the entire
number of wage earners em
ployed by all factories in the
United States."
Derby argued that such a con
dition would inaugurate a great
international trade war and that
United States diplomacy and in
ternational trade agreements
should be based on recognition of
that principle. Criticizine the
Hull type of reciprocal agreement
which extends benefits to non-
signatory countries, he said:
"The theory that it is better
to give than to receive' cannot
be employed in this international
situation to the benefit of Amer
ican workers, American farmers,
and American business men."
ROME, Dec. 7-JP)-Fascists pa
raded today at Naples, Florence
and Perugia to shouts of "Long
live Italian Tunisia!" continuing
clamorous demonstrations of so
called "solidarity with oppressed
brothers" in French territory.
At Naples, 1,000 visiting mem
bers of Germany's "Strength
Through Joy" organization joined
the demonstration.
The Germans, just arrived from
Genoa, marched with fascist stu

where they cheered for Reichs
f uehrer Hitler' and Premier Mus
solini. Classes had been suspend

Several hundred Italian - stu

guards turned them back.
They waved flags and mingled
acclaim for II Duce with cries for
Tunisia, Corsica and Djibouti
French North African protector
ate, Mediterranean island departs
ment and Red sea port of Frencn
Somaliland, respectively.
There was a similar outburst
yesterday in Rome where qoung
fascists marched on the French
4 embassy. Italian troops were on
guard at the embassy today and a
squad of carabinerl was dispatch
ed to Villa Medici, an art acad
emy supported by the French gov
ernment. The Italian press continued con
tributing to the clamor.
II Piccolo published an account
of alleged anti-Italian acts in Tu

"New Series of Disgusting Inci

Mobbed and Beaten ... Violent

"Service" Claims
Of Firms Denied
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-UP)-The
wage-hour administration took the
stand today that concerns such as
banks, Insurance companies, news
papers, radio stations and tele
phone companies must abide by
the labor standards act.
Certain firms in such fields had
claimed exemption from the min
imum wage and maximum hour
provisions. They had pointed out
that congress provided exemp
tions for retail and service estab
lishments doing the bulk of their
selling and servicing in intra-state
commerce.
In aa interpretive bulletin, the
general counsel of the wage-hour
administration replied that in his
opinion congress meant by the
words service establishments only
such firms as hotels, restaurants,
laundries, garages, barber shops,
beauty parlors and funeral homes.

Daladier Faces
Hard Battle to
Retain Control
Conclusion of Pact With
Germany one Prop for
Right Wing Favor
But Left Is More Bitter
Than Before; Strikes
Being Ironed out
PARIS. Dec. 7.-Pr-Premier
Daladier, badgered by dissension
within his own party and con
fronted by a chamber of deputies
almost evenly split on his foreign
and domestic policies, sought to
night to whip together some sort
of a majority by which to govern
France.
Conclusion of the good neigh
bor pact between France and Ger
many yesterday and subsequent
French-German talks gave Dala
dier a sorely needed bargaining
point for support of conservatives
In the opening of parliament tomorrow.
Rightists had long insisted that
France needed an understanding
with Germany to be free to set
her economic house in order.
The new friendship with Ger
many, however, served to increase
the leftist opposition to Daladier
shown by strikes against his ec
onomic decree laws.
Most of Labor
Troubles at End
Except for the maritime strike
at Le Hacre labor troubles ,were
being ironed out.
The government dealt a blow to
the Le JIavre tieup by partly re
placing the crew of the French
liner Paris with ,pavy men. The
Paris sailed from' Le Havre last
night, picked up passengers today
at Cherbourg and departed for
New York. .
The liner Normandie remained
temporarily out of, service under
government orders.
A strike among metal workers
In the Valenciennes region of
northern France ended today
when union delegates of 1,500
who had remained on strike out
of the original 25,000 strikers
voted to return to work tomorrow.
Fourteen strike leaders at Val
enciennes were sentenced to pris
on from ten days to a year.
It seemed largely that the
struggle over the economic laws
was being transferred from fac
tories and docks to the lower
house of parliament where social
ists and communists planned a
bitter fight. The senate appeared
almost unanimous for Daladier.

in American delegations, and to
night said he found a uniformly
earnest disposition on the part el
each to reach unanimous conclu

Hull's idea of calling personally
on the other delegates was mor
"to sit down and visit with them"
than to argue Pan American poli

said.
