RUCK HOLDS UP
FUSION DECISION
1
Says He Must Get Opinion
Before Issuing County
Commissions.%
By a SsaJI Correspondent of Tbe Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., November 17.—
Gov. Ritchie announced this after
noon that he would seek aa opinion
•irom Attorney General ' William
Preston Lane, jr., before replying to
Ithe request of Fusion leaders of
Montgomery County that Aie issue
commissions immediately to the suc
cessful candidates to the county
board.
As the Attorney General was out of
town this afternoon, Mr. Ritchie said
he would be unable to get his opinion
before Monday, the day on which
'Commissioner John B. Diamond of
Montgomery County is scheduled to
throw the county commissioner re
turns of the second district into court
.by petitioning for a recount.
Usual Procedure Cited.
' Gov. Ritchie said the usual pro
cedure is to record the returns from
;all the counties and then send out
the commissions at once. If, as he
'expects, this system is followed this
year, the commissions to Montgomery
and the rest of the counties will go
out the latter part of next week, he
|said.
The Executive declared he had not
heard of the proposed recount until
'he received the Fusionists' letter, and
added that he saw no reason, because
of the threatened court procedure, to
.change his regular method of issuing
commissions. He will be guided, how
•ever, by the advice of the Attorney
General, Mr. Ritchie said.
• As representatives of the successful
county Fusion commissioner candi
dates, the law firm of Peter & Simp
son wrote the Governor yesterday
asking him to Issue commissions im
mediately to Paul M. Coughlan,
Frank H. Karn and Charles E. King,
so the three could take over the
management of the county at once.
The letter termed the threatened
court action as "an attempt to delay"
the induction of the Fusionists into
,Office. It pointed out that, in the
opinion of the writers, the Governor
!*as required under the law to issue
the commissions as soon as he received
'the returns from Montgomery County.
It said that, should the Governor
fail to comply with the Fusionists' re
quest, they would petition the court
for a writ of mandamus compelling
him to issue the commissions at once.
MONTGOMERY RECOUNT TALKED.
Defeated Fusioniste Consider Petition
to Circuit Court.
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCK VILLE, Md„ November 17 —
•Two candidates of the Fusion party
who met with defeat in the Montgom
ery County election said tonight that
they were considering petitioning the
■Circuit Court for a recount.
• They are Walter W. Dawson, chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee and Fusion nominee for
;State's attorney, and Samuel E. Stone
braker, candidate for county commis
sioner from thé fourth district.
Dawson was defeated by James H.
Pugh, Démocratie candidate, by 46
votes on the basis of official returns
made to the Board of Election Super
visors, while County Commissioner
Robert D. Hagner won over Stone
braker by 320 votes.
Both Fusion aspirants said that they
were being urged by their friends and
supporters to ask for the recount and
would probably reach a decision in
the matter over the week end.

meets, In January, to consider the
proposed legislation. He believes the
■proposed law will have plenty of
teeth in it, especially designed to take
care of the numbers racketeers.
"However," Mr. Prettyman reminds,
"that law may not be passed by
Congress until February or March.
Maybe later. No one knows. In the
meantime, Washington is being over
run by racketeers. The newspapers
are doing a marvelous job in creating
public sentiment against vicious gam
•bling. They can do a better job, if
they want to, by trying out an experi
ment—the suppression of the numbers,
totaled, after the races. I'd like to see
them try it. Certainly it can do no
harm."
Mr. Prettyman pointed out that
only one radical change is suggested
in the bill which will be introduced
In the next Congress, the same bill,
practically, that passed the Senate
last March. That change, however,
would enable the police "to put their
fingers" immediately on the "big
Shots" of the numbers racket. It
would make prima-facie evidence of
k,the possession of any * * * tickets,
certificates, bills, slips, tokens, or
other device * * *" used in the
numbers racket. This hits at the
heart of the evil. At present, police
are practically unable to get convic
tions.
Sent to Organizations.
Copies of the proposed bill have
been sent by Mr. Prettyman to every
civic organization in the city with
the request that their membership
study the subject and submit any
suggestions for improving the pro
posed law.
As the bill passed the Senate last
year, Mr. Prettyman sees that hurdle
as an easy one. His concern is with
the House of Representatives, and new
members who know little or nothing
of Washington affairs.
"Here is another place the news
papers can help," the corporation
counsel said. "Educate the new Repre
sentatives about the evils of the num
bers game."

FRACTURES LEG
IN FALL AT HUNT

(Continued From First Page.)
hunt of the Piedmont Hounds, near
Upperville, Va.
At the hospital last night her con
dition was reported satisfactory. She !
is under the care of Dr. James Mit
chell, Washington surgeon.
An ardent horsewoman, active ih
foxhunting for years, despite the mul
tifold nature of her civic and social
interests, Mrs. Rumsey was the third
victim of a disastrous morning in the
Piedmont field. Two other women
were thrown during the day, Mrs.
Robert Young, wife of the well known
Virginia steeplechase rider, had a
fall earlier and her collarbone was
fractured. A short time later Miss
Margaretta Rowland, a debutante here
two years ago, also fell from her
horse, but escaped unhurt.
Animal Takes Plunge.
Shortly after noon, when the hunt
was almost over and most of the
riders had gone home to prepare to
attend the Middleburg races run yes
j terday afternoon. Mrs. Rumsey's thor
! oughbred hunter made a mistake at
a stone wall as she rode in pursuit
j of running hounds. She was riding
side-saddle, as is her habit, and th»
I animal rolled on her. Dr. Archibald
C. Randolph, M. F. H. of the pack,
had jumpêd the fence jus£ In front
of her and -gone on with the chase.
He was not aware of her accident until
he returned home.
Friends riding behind her picked up
Mrs. Rumsey, and she was rushed to
the hospital !%.« car summoned by
Mrs. Delancey Nichols. Dr. Mitchell
had been telephoned in advance by
Miss Dorothy Randolph, daughter of
the hunt master.
Dr. Randolph said last night that a
few moments before the accident he
had been chatting with Mrs. Rumsey
and she told him she had worked late
Friday night in Washington on N. R.
A. business in order to participate in
the Saturday morning chase. Sports
men in Virginia consider her one of
the keenest and best cross-country
riders among the women of the fox
huntine set.
Sister of Harriman.
Mrs. Rumsey is the widow of Charles
Cary Rumsey. the noted sculptor. She
is a sister of William Averill Harriman.

Pacific Railroad and now himself con
nected with the N. R. A.
A personal friend of Mrs. Roosevelt,
she is well known in Washington. She
was the founder of the Junior League
and always has been outspoken about
the part society women should play in
community life. Recently, she roundly
criticized members of the Junior
League generally for their lack of
interest in worthwhile charitable en
deavors.
In addition to her philanthropy, she
is a patron of the arts, former owner
of a chain of newspapers in he South,

momentarily.
"The one thing that is needed is a
thorough spirit of co-operation," said
Harrtman. "The Government must
not attack business and business must
not attack Government.
"It is time for everybody to get
together. We've washed out a lot of
water. We have to get down to bed
rock and we are ready to go to work.
If business goes ahead there will not
be a man out of work within a com
paratively short time."
Richberg spoke with enthusiasm of
the chamber's plans for organizing
business into a joint recovery cam
paign. A resolution adopted yester
day by the board, he said, was "very
fine."
Harriman left Washington last
night for an extended speaking tour
which will carry him Into virtually
all sections of the country preaching
the new doctrine of business' confi
dence in the administration and in
the future.

One of the 130,000
Juvenile Protective Association, Through Chest,
Helps III Girl Back to Health
and Happiness.
The Community Chest, through
its affiliated organizations, last year
aided more than 130,000 persons,
or 25 per cent of the population of
Washington. This is a typical
example in which only the names
are fictitious.
Margaret, 14 years old, was a bright
little girl who had been excluded
from school for three years before she
becamç known to the Juvenile Pro
tective Association. Her type of ill
ness required rest and special nourish
ment if it were to be overcome. But
the parents had wholly failed to pro
vide these necessities. The father
earned a wretched wage and the
mother went out to do day's work to
piece out the family income. Mar
garet was left at home under the ne
cessity of doing the housework and
of taking care of her two little
brothers. Dnder these conditions, she
was making no progress toward re
covery at all and she was miserably
unhappy because she wanted so much
to go t· school.
A worker from the Juvenile Pro
tective Association stepped into the
situation at this point and started
again the child's long-neglected clinic
visits. The health instructions re
ceived at the clinic were passed on to
and interpreted to the parents. Extra
milk was , rovided. The mother was
made to realize that the child could
not do the housework and must have
rest. But what meant most to Mar
garet, a tutor was provided, who went
to the little girl's home three or four
times a week, supplied her active mind
with happy occupation and helped
her to catch up the time that she had
lost with her studies. This was done
to such go63 effect that, when the
doctor at last pronounced her able to
return to school, she was not far be
hind the other children of her own
age.
The work of the Juvenile Protective
Association is supported by contribu
tions made through the Community
Chest.

cent of its quota, left it almost ex
actly at "par" for this year's drive.
At the same point in the campaign
last year exactly 50 per cent of the
quota had been raised.
For yesterdays report luncheon,
after the magnificent showing of
Friday, the Campaign Committee
sent its "first string team" to the
bench and the head table was manned
entirely by the "second team." com
posed of vice chairmen and sub
chairmen of the various units.
Wyckoff Wields Gavel.
Campaign Chairman H. L. Rust,
jr., turned over his gavel to Bernard
WyckoCT, vice chairman of the com
mittee. The campaign unit chairmen
for the first time went down from
the head table to sit with members
of their units at the lower tables,
and in their places sat Laurence E.
Rubel, chairman of the Publicity
Committee; Mrs. Leonard B. Schloss
of the Speakers' Unit, W. W. Wheeler,
vice chairman of the Publicity Com
mittee, in charge of the Speakers'
Unit; Herluf Provensen, in charge of
the radio campaign; Wallace Robin
son, in charge of the Governmental
Speakers' Unit, and James A. Coun
cilor. chairman of the Audit Unit.
The Chest volunteers heard another
caution against overconfidence from
the day's speaker. Miss Katherine
Lenroot, assistant chief of the United
States Children's Bureau, president
of the National Conference of So
cial Work and president of the Mon
day Evening Club.
"This has been a great week for
the Community Chest and for Wash
ington," Miss Lenroot said. "You
have made splendid progress, but I
know you all realize that the next
week will be harder than the days
which have passed, in respect to the
demands which will be made upon
your enthusiasm and loyalty.
"It is always when we get to the
end of the campaign that we have to
hold our lines and be sure that the
message the Chest has to give has
been given to every single person.
Appeals for Children.
"Of course, when we think of the
Chest goal on one side and the human
need on the other, we realize the vast
gap between the two and the ever
increasing measure of the human
need in Washington as the problems
of unemployment and relief mount
and multiply. The needs of the chil
dren of this city are very great. Let
ters come to me every day from
parents, young people and children
just out of high school, and they ex
press the feeling of the increasing
difficulties in meeting economic needs.
These things are true all over the
country and so they are true in Wash
ington."
Miss Lenroot declared that she is
certain Community Chest officials and
workers and the city as a whole will
not be content "with a static program
which is just a little better than the
year before." She indicated her be
lief that the usefulness of the Chest
will increase as time goes on and
that the demands made upon it and,
through it, upon the people of Wash
ington will increase.
Washington and the Tennessee Val
ley. Miss Lenroot said, "are the two
real pioneer places in the country
today, because we are trying in these
places to build up a new social order
which will give greater security to
our children and our families."
Never Greater Challenge.
"There never was a greater chal
lenge presented to our forefathers
than we have here today." she said.
"This Chest and the organizations of
which it is composed form a major
part of the program of social security,
without which we would not be able
now to go on into the next stage of
the planning.
"We must have renewed determina
tion: renewed effort and renewed
courage and the feeling that until all
the people in Washington who possibly
can give have given to make our
Capital city a safer and more secure
place for our boys and girls who are
to be the citizens of tomorrow, we
have not successfully completed our
task.
"We can't be satisfied." she said,
"until all who can possibly give
through the Community Chest to meet
the human needs in Washington have
been brought into this great enter
prise."
Mr. Wyckoff told the workers that
they must not be content to accept $1
or even $5 contributions during the
final days of the drive unless they are
absolutely certain that the prospective
contributor cannot afford to give more.
Five-dollar contributions should be
pushed up to pledges of at least $1 a
month for the coming year, he said.
"Even then." he said, "we still will
have to see a great many people if
we are to put this drive over. We have
raised more than $1,100,000. but we
must remember that in the four days
which remain we still have to raise
two-thirds as much as we already have
raised in six days. We cannot afford
to relax our efforts for a moment, but
must drive on as hard as we can go
to the very end."
The invocation at yesterday's
luncheon was delivered by Rev. Robert
M. Skinner, pastor of the Georgetown
Presbyterian Church.

TEXTILE LEADERS,

Board Hears of "Discrimi
nation" Against Unions
in 200 Mills.
«•Continued Prom First Page.) t
come when we can endure no more
from che recalcitrant minority among
the manufacturer*.
"We r.pent the entire morning today
in conference with the Textile Labor
Board and as a result we believe there
is a better general understanding be
tween the board and ourselves.
"We informed the board there was ·
great danger of renewed strike action
because of the, prevalence of discrimi
nation against former strikers by a
group of mills numbering at least 200.
"We were given a most sympathetic
hearing by the board. What its action
will be is something that will have to
be announced by the board, but I can
say that we shall at once file com
plaints against specific mills with a
request for a public hearing.
"In our first request for hearing we
shall name perhaps a half dozen mills
and possibly more, selecting the worst
cases of discrimination and eviction.
These complaints will go to the board
with the assertion that the union
stands ready to produce witnesses In
person to prove every count in the
complaint."
Gorman declared that "we mean
business" and continued:
"Discrimination has got to end. It
must be borne In mind—and we are
sure the board bears it in mind—
that discriminations are in violation
of the President's prescription for
ending the strike. The union took
the President's terms as virtually
mandatory upon the union, and the
union Intends to see to it, one way
or another, that they become manda
tory upon the Industry."
Praises Some Mills.
Gorman paid tribute to mill own
ers who had complied with officiai
recommendations through which the
general strike was terminated, and
said a majority of the mills had re
employed strikers without discrimina
tion.
"Seme of these fair employers," he
added, "have pleaded with their own
recalcitrant minority to change tac
tics but to no avail."
Meanwhile, there developed a possi
bility of sectional conflict among
manufacturers over the N. R. A.
codes for the textile industries.
Southern manufacturers were report
ed contemplating a vigorous demand
I for a wider wage differential between
northern and southern mills while
Representative Edith Nourse Rogers
I (Republican of Massachusetts) was
pressing a recommendation that wage
differentials be eliminated and south
ern manufacturers be compelled to
raise their wages to northern levels.
SILK STRIKE VOTED
15,000 Expected to leave Looms in
Jersey.
PATERSON, N. J., November 17 OP)
—Eli Keller, general manager of the
Associated Silk Workers, announced
today that broad silk workers had
voted to strike next Wednesday mid
night. He said about 15,006 would
leave their looms.
The union will demand, Keller said,
that the manufacturers honor a con
tract, signed over a year ago at the
conclusion of the 1933 textile strike,
and declared by the manufacturers as
abrogated in September when the silk
workers joined the national textile
strike.
