CANADA ACCUSED
OF BALKING LEAGUE
Frenchman Says Ireland Also
i Obstructs Concerted Eco
; > nomic Program.
BT the Associated Press.
GENEVA. September 29—Pierre
Etienne Flandin, French minister of
Commerce and industry, today before
the League Assembly accused Canada.
Irish Free State and other overseas
countries of obstructing the League's
program for concerted economic action.
These overseas members of the
League, especially the British domin
ion, M. Flandin asserted, have been ob
jecting in the economic committee to
approval by the Assembly of preferen
tial tariff rates in Europe for European
agricultural produce. These objecting
members hold the approval would be
contrary to the League's ideal of uni
versality because it would tend to shut
out overseas producers from free com
petition in European markets.
M. Flandin told the committee that
Canada and other non-European agri
cultural producers are separating them
selves more and more from the League’s
economic program and are menacing
the success of the movement for con
certed action to remove obstacles of
trade.
“Dumping” Attitude Modified.
The debate arose during considera
tion of resolutions adopted by the War
saw Conference for a group of Danube
and Baltic agricultural states acting in
behalf of their export trade with other
European countries.
The Assembly Economic Committee
today considerably modified its attitude
regarding "dumping.” A report of con- ;
demnation today was amended to "note *
more especially” the serious consequences
of various forms of "dumping.” The
new paragraph expresses a desire that
an inquiry with a view to concerted
action not only upon indirect protec
tionism, but in regard to every aspect
of dumping, should be pursued with the
least possible delay within the protocol
of March 24, 1920.
This protocol, drafted by the eco
nomic conference, is not supported by
a number of members of the League,
especially not by the overseas states.
This causes the inquiry to be regarded
as sidetracked and virtually buried so
far as League organizations are
concerned.
Only 18 Sign Convention.
John O'Sullivan, spokesman for the
Irish Free State, objected to a recom
mendation in a committee report which
urged all states to sign a convention
adopted last March by the Tariff Truce
Conference.
Only 18 states signed this 'conven
tion. he said, and therefore it could not
be the sense of the Assembly majority
that this convention be executed. The
Candian. South African, Indian and the
New Zealand delegations supported the
Irish position. None of them has
signed the commercial convention, which
looks to ultimate reduction of tariff
laws.
Polish and Rumanian delegations,
which seek recognition of their claims
for preferential for European agri
cultural products entering European
countries, sharply criticized the position
of Ireland and the British domains ahd
said they were interfering with the
League's economic work.
Difficulties of American governments

oF state were explained to the Assembly
of the League of Nations today by
Orestes Ferrara, Cuban delegate.

POLICE HUNT MAN
IN BOLD ASSAULT
Montgomery Police Search
for Colored Assailant Near
Hyattstown.
; By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md.. September 29.—A
county-wide search is in progress today
for a colored man who attempted to
criminally assault a young married
woman in her home near Hyattstown
Saturday night and later escaped from
the gunfire of two policemen.
The man being sought is William
Jackson, 45 years old, of Blocktown.
A warrant charges him with the at
tempted assault of Mrs. Maude Mc-
Donough, 23-year-old mother of two
children, one 3 years old and the
other 5.
Woman Describes Assailant.
Police say they learned the identity
of Mrs. McDonough’s assailant through
a description furnished by the woman.
Early yesterday morning Montgomery
County Policeman Roy Bodmer and
Special Officer Dunbar Padgett went
to Jackson’s home to arrest him, but
as they neared the house the man ran
out and fled through the woods.
The officers chased him for more
than a mile through dense underbrush,
emptying their revolvers as they ran,
but finally were outdistanced.
According to police, Mrs. McDon
ough was lying on a bed beside her
children when the colored man climbed
through her bed room window. She
had just put the children to bed and
they had fallen asleep.
Climbs on Roof.
The man reached the second story of
the house by pulling himself up from
the roof of a shed below the window.
Mrs. McDonough said the man struck
her on the side of her head as she
arose to her feet and then threatened
her with Instant death if she made an
outcry. She said she saw a razor
handle protruding from his pocket.
The struggle which ensued awakened
the children, and their cries brought
their father to the room to investigate.
As he opened the door the intruder
jumped out of the window.
County-Wide Search.
Every policeman in the county has
been instructed to keep a strict watch
for the fugitive and Washington police
were requested to aid In the search.
Last night a colored man, suspected
of being Jackson, was arrested on a
minor traffic charge and held at the
tenth precinct in Washington for in
vestigation. Bodmer went to Washing
ton this morning, and when he failed
to identify the prisoner, the man was
released.
CAB DRIVER ROBBED
Two Armed Colored Men Take $lB

Held up by two armed colored men
yesterday. Frank R. Hopkins, a taxi
cab driver, of 3207 M street, said he
was robbed of his cab and sl2 In cash.
Hopkins told police he was hailed by
the men at Four-and-a-half street and
Virginia avenue southwest and in
structed to drive to Twenty-seventh
and O streets. The men, however,
ordered Hopkins to stop at Eighth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, where
he said they drew their guns and
ordered him to surrender his money.

1 TEXTILE WOK
GO OUT ON STRIKE
Dan River Mills Close After
Efforts of Government
Mediators Fail.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va., September 29.—The
long-anticipated strike of textile oper
atives in the Dan River Mills, one of
the largest cotton manufactories in the
South, was an established fact today.
Following the decision yesterday of the
managing committee, none reported for
work today and those who gathered at
the gates found them locked.
Orders Mill Closed.
H. R. Fitzgerald, president of the mill»
ordered the gates of the mill closed on
hearing of the strike at Charlottesville,
and in a statement today he said they
would remain shut for a few days or
until it is possible to determine just
what proportion of the workers wish to
continue their daily labor.
The opening of the strike was orderly.
There were pickets at every mill gate,
but they had no' work to do. Some
groups of women were singing, and
there was a general air of good humor.
Appeal for Order.
Overseers became day watchmen this
morning and were not interfered with
as they entered the mill gates. Mass
meetings last night were largely at
tended by mill workers, who heard
union spokesmen make appeals for good
order and unity.
The union claims there are 4.000
members of the local union. Actually
only 2.000 were employed at the mills
last week, owing to the restricted sched
ules due to the condition of the goods
market.
Efforts of Btate and Federal con
ciliators to effect a settlement of dif
ferences between the mill employes and
operators failed definitely yesterday,
and in a mass meeting held at noon
the workers enthusiastically approved
the management committee’s order for
a walkout.
Two thousand workers attended the
mass meeting, which, because of its
size, was divided into two sections.
There were no disorders.
The strike follows long-extended dif
ferences between the employes and op
rators which have chiefly concerned
the operators' attitude toward the Tex
ule Union, wages and working con
ditions.
BIG LAKE DRAINED
IN HUNT FOR MAN
Search Made for Salisbury Inn
Proprietor Missing Since
Friday.
Special Dispatch to Th« Btar.
SALISBURY, Md., September 29.

of the city is being drained in an effort
to determine the fate of Nathan Urn
stead, 50-year-old proprietor of the
Red Star Tourist Inn, North Division

Umstead has been missing from his
home since Friday night.
Stating her husband had frequently
expressed a desire In the last few days
to "take a swim” in the lake, Mrs.
Umstead appealed to the city to
drain It,
After a consultation between Mayor
Wade H. Inaley and City Engineer
Francis H. Dryrien, the latter ordered
a partial opening of the floodgates
under Isabella street. Mr. Dryden said
It would be several days before the lake
is entirely emptied. He estimated ap
proximately 150,000,000 gallons of water
were Impounded there.
The body of water is frequented by
bathers and boatmen as one of the
city’s beauty spots. Mrs. Umstead told
police her husband was awake at 3
a.m. Saturday, but said he was soon
"going asleep." That was the last she
had seen of him.

coming absorbed in his work.
Mrs. Hoover was busily engaged upon
her return in making preparation for
departure late this afternoon for In
dianapolis, where tomorrow and Tues

: ZONING PROPOSAL
FIGHT EXPECTED
Clash on Sixteenth Street
Property Classification
Looms Wednesday.
A vigorous contest before the Zoning
Commission at the public hearing
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock looms
over the proposal to lower the zoning
classification of property on the east
side of Sixteenth street between
Arkansas avenue and Upshur street.
Edgar B. Henderson, president of the
Piney Branch Citizens’ Association,
served notice today that spokesman for
his organization would attend the meet
ing to oppose this and any other peti
tion to change the zoning of Sixteenth
street property to make possible the
construction of additional apartment
houses.
The petition in this case aska that
the zoning classification be changed
from residential A-restricted and resi
dential B-restricted areas to residential
A area, which would permit the con
struction of an apartment house on this
tract.
The association has not acted on
this particular case, Mr. Henderson ex
plained, but since the association is on
record as opposed to similar changes
on Sixteenth street property, a delegate
would attend the meeting to voice op
position. The Executive Committee of
the organization, he said, expected to
meet prior to the Wednesday zoning
hearing, to act on the matter.
