that negotiators for General Motors
and the union would meet tomor
row. probably in Detroit. The U. A.
W. had said the dispute should be
Ironed out at Flint: the corporation
invited the U. A. W. to meet with it
in Detroit. Finally Mr. Martin In
formed Mr. Wilson the U. A. W. was
willing to confer at any time and
any place.
A U. A. W. sit-down strike in the
Nash-Kelvlnator Corp. plant at Ke
nosha, Wis., which closed other
plants in Racine, Wis., and Milwau
kee, apparently was settled during
the day as the union repudiated the
strike and voted to return to work
Monday. The company agreed to
rescind its order discharging 300
men who participated in the dem
onstration upon the assurance of
the U. A. W. local that members
responsible for the strike would be
penalized. The sit-downers de
manded an increase in the piece
work rate.
Telegram to Martin.
Mr. Wilson's telegram to Mr. Mar
tin today said:
"Your authorization of the strike
at Fisher No. 1 plant is in direct
violation of our agreement with
your organization which provides
that there shall be no strikes until
after all steps set forth in the griev
ance procedure have been exhausted
without success. The'issue in this
case has not been appealed from
the last offer of the plant manage
ment to adopt a day-work plan pro
vided the union would give guar
antees to the management that
production would be maintained and
labor costs not increased by slow
downs. We demand that this strike
be called off at once and the issue be
appealed In accordance with your
agreement.”
The appeals referred to would be
to corporation officials.
Previously a telegram from Mr.
Martin to George C. Paterson, Fish
er plant manager, brought a reply
that "the matter has been referred
to the corporation in Detroit.”
Mr. Martin and Elmer Dowell,
head of the union's General Motors
Division, issued a statement today
which asserted that the current
Issue “has been through the entire
grievance procedure, up to the heads
o< the corporation on three different
occasions over a period of a year
and a half. In each case they have
been referred back to the general
manager of the plant.”
Strikers Will Return
To Chrysler Plant
NEW CASTLE, Ind., Dec. 3 UP.—
Striking workmen at the Chrysler
Corp. plant here will return to their
Jobs Monday morning as the result
of negotiations which ended tonight
when United Automobile Workers’
Union leaders agreed to prevent
eviction of unafflliated factory em
ployes.
Under the agreement 3,600 em
ployes will re-enter the plant, closed
since Thursday after U. A. W. A.
workers denied admittance to the
factory members of the Die Sinkers’
Union (A. F. L.).
In a Joint statement by U. A. W. X.
and company officials, the plant
heads declared all employes should
return to work Monday and "both
international and local representa
tives of the U. A. W. A. • • * agree
to prevent further evictions.”
“All employes of the Chrysler
Corp. have the right to enter and
leave the plant in connectipn with
their work for the corporation,” the
statement declared, "and the United
Automobile Workers’ Union of
America agrees that it will not in
terfere with or prevent any employe
of the Chrysler Corp., whether a
member of the U. A. W. A. or not,
from entering or leaving the Chrys
ler Corp. plant at any time.”
A
AT MONOPOLY INQUIRY—Leon Henderson (left), noted New
Deal economist, shown as he testified yesterday before the
12-man Monopoly Committee. Mr. Henderson, pictured with
Chairman O’Mahoney, estimated the number of unemployed at
upyard of 10,000,000. —Underwood Photo.
Monopoly
(Continued From First Page.)
estimated the labor supply at 54,
800,000.
Says Growth Is Halted.
It is due largely to this gradually
increasing national labor supply
that the “prosperity production”
levels of 1929 still would fall short
of comparably full employment in
1938. leaving, in fact, nearly 6,000,
000 still without jobs, even though
the country should suddenly re
turn to the glad days of nine years
agQ.
Informing the committee blunt
ly that the economic growth of the
country has halted, Mr. Henderson
warned that "we are at a strategic
point. If we go on as we are, we
are in for stagnation and decline.
One of the interesting observations
of recent years is the inability of
the system to maintain itself at
any level it has attained. We do
not stop. We either go forward or
back.
"Personally, I don’t think we are
going to accept a condition of stag
nation and decline.”
Committee Outlines Scope.
For the first time in such complete
detail, the committee secretary out
lined the scope of the two-year
study.
The outline follows:
1. Concentration of control of eco
nomic power and wealth.
2. The price system and price poli
cies.
3. The effect of governmental poli
cies on economic activity.
4. Desirability of the creation of
a bureau of industrial economics
proposed to stabilize production.
5. Types of competition which are
socially and economically harmful.
6. Improvement of anti-trust policy
and procedure.
7. National standards for corpora
tions.
8. Mergers, interlocking relation
ships. industrial, utility and bank
holding companies and investment
trusts.
9. Insurance companies.
10. Corporate practices, including
existing forms gf business organiza
tion and trade associations.
11. Distribution and marketing
laws.
12. Credit mechanisms for small
enterprises.
13. Over-all economic data and
special studies, covering such things
as consumer credit, labor racketeer
ing, depreciation and cost account
ing and debt growth.
Scrutiny of Policies.
That the scrutiny of government
policies insofar as they affect busi
ness will be a penetrating one was
indicated by a further breakdown
by Mr. Henderson of that particular
item. The breakdown follows:
1. Specific policies, as named by
resolution authorizing inquiry,
a. Taxation—burden on in
dustries, relation to ex
pansion and lack of new
investment. As stimulus to
activity.
b. Patents. Pools. Specific
abuses. Place in competitive
enterprise. Litigation—costs,
duration, effect on small en
terpriser. Delays in granting
procedure. Division of own
ership-individuals and cor
porations. Utilization and
suppression. As stimulus to
activity. Key patents. Place
in technological displace
ment.
c. Adjustment of purchasing
power to 1926 price level.
2. Government policies not spe
cifically named by resolution.
a. Compensatory fiscal policies.
b. Governmental intervention:
corporations, loan agencies,
etc.
c. Foreign trade, reciprocal
trade agreements.
d. Agricultural program.
e. Housing.
f. Governmental regulation.
Lessons to be drawn from
experience of I. C. C., Coal
Commission, S. E. C., Federal
Power Commission, Maritime
Commission, Labor Board,
Wage and Hour, Walsh
Healy, Federal Communica
tion, etc.
g. Social security.
h. Results of other legislative
committee studies: muni
tions, holding companies, etc.
Hits "Lilliputians of Left.”
As the committee concluded its
first three days of open hearings
without any noticeable “witch-?
burning,” a warning against the
future appearances of the "Lillipu
tians of the Left” was distributed
for newspaper release by Merwin K.
Hart, president of the New York
State Economic Council and chair
man of the Committee for American
Private Enterprise.
“I, for one,” Mr. Hart promised,
“am going to see that everything
possible is done to prevent the peo
ple being misled in any wav by
what takes place before or through
this committee. I call upon all sin
cere Americans to be on the a>lert
against attempts to use this inves
tigation in such a way as to carry
us further into social control.”
He said the “%ble chairmanship”
of Senator OMahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming gave assurance the
hearings would be “conducted with
fairness to all” but declared the
first three days’ testimony showed
the "Lilliputians of the left will be
there with their doctrines and the
ories.”
“They would like to take Ameri
can business apart and put it to
I
gether again,” Mr. Hart continued.
"They would do this through more
social control. One more effort is
to be made by the social controllers
to lure the American people into
economic planning.”
No Preconceived Pattern.
On the other hand. Chairman
OMahoney declared as the group
adjourned yesterday that “it ought
to be pretty clear that the commit
tee has no preconceived pattern to
which it desires to force business
compliance.
"We are obviously trying to de
termine basic economic facts on
which all agree in the hope there
may be a common determination
and understanding as to remedial
plans for solving the important
problem of ‘unemployment of Doth
capital and labor’.”
Commenting further on the three
days of hearings, the chairman said:
• The per capita production of na
tional income is greater today than
it was 25 years ago, but it is less
stable. That is our essential prob
lem. We re living on a higher plane
than our grandfathers were, but
they had more stability. Our prob
lem is to find a way of stabilizing
our living standard upon the new
high level which we have attained,
and of raising that level.”
John Morgan Burns
Dies in Alabama
John Morgan Burns, 64, an attor
ney and assistant to the solicitor of
the Department of Agrictulture, died
today in Selma. Ala., after a long
illness, it was learned through the
Associated Press.
Mr. Burns' home here had been
at 1539 I street N.W.. but he had
been away from Washington sev
eral months. He had been with the
Department of Agriculture since the
early part of President Roosevelt's
administration. Earlier he had been
an assistant to the solicitor of the
Agriculture Department during both
of President Wilson's administra
tions.
Active in Alabama and national
political campaigns, Mr. Burns had
attended nearly every Democratic
national convention for about 40
years. He frequently had been a
; speaker in many political campaigns.
At one time he served in the
Alabama Legislature as a Represent
ative from Pallas County and ran
for the United States Senate in 1932.
Among survivors is his widow, Mrs.
Helen S. Burns.
Funeral services were scheduled
to be held today in Alabama.

shock and fright of her distressing
experience.
Although Mary “seemed to be
improving steadily” yesterday, her
father said, she still is confined to
bed under doctor's orders. In the
presence of members of her family
and State police, Mary yesterday
afternoon gave her first interview
to reporters.
She said that, although blind
folded, she was convinced her cap
tors took her through Reds Corner,
on the Southern Maryland, pike, 5
or 6 miles from her home. The
girl said she knew the roads near
tier home and estimated this from
turns taken by the truck.
Later, she said, she became con
fused as to direction while the truck
proceeded, sometimes at a speed
which seemed at least 70 miles an
hour, until 2 o'clock on the morning
after she was abducted.
The girl’s sister, Lucy, 15, has told
how she saw her sister thrown into
the truck on Box road near their
home about 4:45 o’clock Wednesday
afternoon. The younger girl ran
home and spread the alarm.
Mary said the men took her to a
shack, removed most of her clothing
and burned it in a stove, in order to
start a fire She said the men threw
her on a mattress and two lay down
beside her, one on either side.
Although one of the men knocked
her unconscious with a blow in the
stomach, she said, she was • not
criminally attacked.
The men later decided to take
her home, she said, after learning
her father could not pay ransom.
The return was made in a sedan,
she said.
Reporters who talked to the girl
yesterday said her face still retained
marks across the eyes, as if caused
by a tight bandage which had re
mained in place a long time.
A physician who examined Mary
on her return home reported to
investigators that she bore no marks
of violence, and apparently had not
been injured, although she was in
a highly nervous condition.

Six Radio Stations
Accused of Barring
Speech by Dies
Officials of Three Say
No Request Was Made
To Their Knowledge'
By the AuoctkUd Prtk*. -
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—An official
of the American Defense Society
declared today that six radio sta
tions had refused to broadcast a
speech before the society by Repre
sentative Martin Dies, Democrat, of
Texas, chairman of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities.
Officials of three stations (WMCA,
WOR, WHN) declared, however,
that to their knowledge no request
was made for radio time. The Na
tional Broadcasting Co. (WEAF,
WJZ), which said it attempted Uf
select the most important and ap
pealing programs from the many
offered it, stated that the society
requested radio time, but Mr. Dies
had not. It added that Mr. Dies “has
been heard over N. B. C. networks on
seven occasions since last April."
Columbia Broadcasting System
tWABC) made no coihment.
Telling a luncheon meeting of the
society that broadcast time had been
denied, Arnold L. Davis, society
vice chairman, demanded, “Who has
the power to do that?”
Several luncheon guests shouted.
“We know.”
Others called for the names of
the stations, but Mr. Davis said
they would be revealed “in due
time.” A spokesman for the society
later listed the names and said
officials explained they had no time
available and that Federal regula
tions required that a speaker on a
controversial topic must be followed
by one giving the other side of the
argument.
“The enemies of this country,”
said Mr. Dies, “think they have been
very clever in seeking to handicap
our investigation in every conceiv
able manner. They have not been
clever; they have been stupid. Their
tactics of ridicule, misrepresenta
tion, lies, abuse, etc., have done
more to arouse the patriotic people
of this country to the seriousness of
the situation than all of the testi
mony we have heard. • • •
“The people know that this abuse
and misrepresentation started with
in a few days after our hearings
began. They know, for instance,
that Miss Perkins (Secretary of
Labor) and Mr. Ickes (Secretary of !
the Interior) denounced the com- !
mittee a long time ago. The people
also know that these individuals
and organizations, charged with un
American activities, failed to come
before the committee to disprove
any of the testimony received. * •

New Thought Alliance
Head Died Suddenly
Yesterday
Funeral services for James Arthur
Edgerton, 69. past president of the
International New Thought Alliance
and one time candidate for Vice
President of the United States on
the Prohibitionist-Labor ticket, will
be held at 2 pm. Tuesday at the
Hines funeral home, 2901 Four
teenth street N.W.
Mr. Edgerton died suddenly at his
residence, 3008 Virginia boulevard.
Beverly Hills, Va., early yesterday
morning.
He had been active and prominent
’ in literary, educational, political,
fraternal and religious affairs for
approximately half a century.
Was Native of Ohio.
Born at Plantsville, Ohio, January
30, 1869, he received B. A. and M. A.
degrees at Marietta College, where
Vice President Charles G. Dawes
was a classmate. As a writer for
and later the editor of a number of
country newspapers, he won atten
tion for the earnestness of his con
victions and developed a reputation
which took him into reform politics
in company with William Jennings
Bryan and the leaders of the Popu
list party. His first public service
was as secretary of the State Labor
Board of Nebarska, 1895 to 1899.
Then, turning back to journalism,
he was a member of the staff of
the Denver News, carrying on
Eugene Field’s famous column in
that paper from 1899 to 1903.
Mr. Edgerton's next employment
was with the American Press Asso
ciation in New York. Subsequently,
he was associated with Watson's
Magazine and. as an editorial writer,
with the New York American. He
came to Washington in 1913 to
accept an appointment offered by
President Wilson to be purchasing
agent of the Post Office Department,
a position which he filled until
1921, when he was named prohibi
tion director for the State of New
Jersey.
In Private Business.
During the last decade he had
been in private business, with offices
in the National Press Building.
Mr. Edgerton meanwhile had
achieved distinction as a leader in
philosophic fields. He was president
of the National New Thought Alli
ance, 1909-1914. and of the Inter
national Alliance, 1914-1924.
His published books included
“Songs of the People." “New Thought
and the Coming Religion," “The
Philosophy of Jesus" and several
other titles. A new volume of poems
is now in press.
Mr. Edgerton was nominated for
the vice presidency in'1928. He was
the candidate of the Prohibition
Labor party and made an energetic
campaign not so much for election
as in behalf of support for laws
designed to abolish the illicit traffic
in liquor. It was his belief that the
merits of prohibition never could
be demonstrated until it had been
\ enforced effectively and honestly.
Si* Children Survive.
In 1895 Mr. Edgerton married his
second cousin. Miss Blanche Edger
ton, who survives with six children:
James C.. wartime pilot and pioneer
airmail flyer; Joseph S.. aviation
editor of The Star; John Eldon,
Justin, Esther (Mrs. George Lacy)
and Elizabeth (Mrs. Frederick Koci).
There are eight grandchildren.
For many years the family home
was the old Leadbeater estate at Fort
Lyon, near Alexandria. Va. The
house was destroyed by fire, and Mr.
Edgerton _built a new residence in
Beverly Hills.
He was a 32nd Degree Mason and a
member of the National Press Club.

Man With $43 of Boss'' Cash
Sees Baby Son Die in Want
PETER MURPHY.
■—A. P. Wirephoto.
by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—A human
sacrifice to honesty was recorded
today in the action of Peter Mur
phy, 43, janitor in a West Side tene
ment, who saw his new-born son die
in his wife's arms rather than touch
$43 belonging to his employer.
Penniless after paying bills with
his $24 bi-weekly relief check, Mur
phy said it ‘‘wouldn’t have been
honest” to use his boss’ money,
jingling in his pockets, in an at
tempt to save the infant's life.
There was neither food nor fuel
in the cold ground-floor flat where
they lived, rent free in return for
Murphy's service as janitor and
rent collector.
The family’s food had run out
Wednesday. Then yesterday, weak
from a 24-hour diet of only two
cups of coffee, Mrs. Anna Murphy
held the baby In her arms and
watched its face turn blue. Then
it died.
‘Tve been collecting rent for six
years now,” said Murphy. ‘‘I've
never taken a penny, of it. * It's just
a habit, I guess.”
Deputy Chief Medical Examiner
Dr. Benjamin Morgan Vance said
an autopsy showed the baby had
died as a result of a cardiac defor
mity. Cold and lack of nourishment
might have aggravated the condi
tion, he said.
The baby will be buried Monday
afternoon. Mrs. Murphy was feeling
slightly better today. There was a
fire in the kitchen range and some
food for her husband and their
three older chil'dren. Neighbors and
police saw to that.
