ETHIOPIA WARNS LEAGUE
Geneva. Ethiopia warned the
League of Nations, now considering
her dispute with Italy, that she
would yield neither "to Italian in
timidation nor Italian violence."
Emperor Selassie's latest communi
cation was read by the council at the
end of the day's session which saw
Ethiopia formally charged with
maintaining slavery and the slave
traffic. Earon Pompeo Aloisi, the
Italian delegate, made the charge.
The day also served to emphasize
the difficulties confronting Capt.
Anthony Eden, British lord privy
seal, and Pierre Laval, French for
eign minister, who are seeking ways
to settle the frontier dispute outside
the league halls.
In contrast to Ethiopia's insistence
that the league deal with the con
flict, Eden and Laval faced Italy's
open unwillingness to submit to this
procedure.
Alaskan Set
tlers to Draw
Lots for Land
Matanuska Valley Colonlsis to De
termination Location of Their
Farms Thru Chance.
Talmer, Alaska, A lottery in
which nobody can lose, every parti
cipant to receive forty acres of rich
land, was being arranged for the set
tlers of the Matanuska valley. Ar
rangements for the "sure thing"
drawing under government auspices
were started as more than 600 new
colonists from Michigan and Wiscon
sin arrived in the new agricultural
empire to start life anew.
Their arrival brought tho perma
nent population of the colony to
about 850, not including some COO
transients destined to return to the
United States as soon as the set
tlers have been given a start In pio
neering under the midnight sun.
Location is the only issue to be;
settled by the drawings, which prob
ably will take place in a day or two.
Some families will draw acreages ad
jacent to Palmer, the community cen
ter. Others will find themselves as
much as ten miles out of town, de
pending on their luck, in the draw.
The newest, and for the present,
the last contingent of colonists
reached Alaska soil at Seward, ar
riving there from Seattle cn the
army transport St. Mihiel. The men
of the new group entrained at once
for Palmer, involving a 125 mile rail
journey to be here in time for the
drawn igs.
Already the location of the forty
acre tracts has been nearly completed
and each has been staked out by
Ross L. Sheely, of the University of
Alaska extension service and hi3 as
sistants, who began work the first j
week in April. The snow was hardly
off the ground at that. time.
The tracts are much the same,
with stands of wood on nearly all of
them, on a rolling plain. Scattered
over a wide area, some are as far as
ten miles from the newly formed;
community center here. Several
creeks and small rivers run thru the
valley.

Labor Backs
Roosevelt on
NRA Extension
President, Unions Join Hands In Mili
tant Drive; Wagner Disputes -Bill
Is Endorsed.
Washington. President Roosevelt
and organized labor Joined hands
Friday in a militant campaign to
put over a two-year national recovery
act extension and enactment of the
Wagner labor disputes act.
This was the first time the chief
executive has endorsed the Wagner
bill against which industry has bit
terly protested.
Roosevelt first made known his
views to senate and house leaders in
a White House conference. He said
he was opposed to the 10-month ex
tension provided by the resolution
adopted by the senate.
Then he called in William Green.
American Federation of Labor pres
ident, and John L. Lewis, United
Mine Workers president, and had
them sit with administration offi
cials in drafting legislation.
Harmonize Bills.
The work of "harmonizing" the
two bills was done in an outer of
fice. Those present also included Sec
retary of Labor Perkins, Senator
Wagner (D.), New York, and sev
eral NRA board members, including
Chairman Donald R. Richberg. Leav
ing the conference, Green said:
"It is my opinion the presi
dent is sympathetic and friendly
to the act sponsored by Senator
Wagner."
To senate and house leaders Roose
velt outlined this NRA plan:
1. Extension to April 1 or June
1C, 1937 that is, 21 months or
two years.
2. Prohibition against price-fixing
as provided in the senate resolution.
Code Removal.
3. Removal of codes on businesses
"substantially affecting interstate
commerce. The senate resolution lim
ited codes to interstate commerce.
4. Three months to revise codes
instead of one month as provided by
the senate.
House leaders gave assurance the
committee will report out a bill sub
stantially as the president desires.
The house may pass it Wednesday.
The chief 'executive Was warned,
however, tfiiat a prolonged fight faces
the proposed two-year extension in
the senate. Threats of filibuster
were being made by senators who
are determined to fight against any
thing more than a 10-month exten
sion. Strike Threat.
Green's threat of a general strike,
made at a labor mass meeting in New
York Thursday night, was reiterated
as he appeared as a witness before
the house ways and means commit
tee Friday.
The labor leader said:
"I meant just what I said.
Everyone knows we've got the
strength to put a national strike
over."
Green called for support of the
30-hour week and Wagner labor dis
pute bills in congress.
