The en- tire settlement, with the exception of three buildings-a home, an almshouse and a church~tvere de- stroyed. No lives were lost.

The destruction at. Oliver Settle- ment was caused . by the Giilis Gulch fire in Restigouchc County joining another fire at Stillwater and sweeping across old burn for more than 10 miles today.

Situation Regarded As Ominous By Wash- ington Leaders - Steel Strike May Be Averted.

(By Juan Cope) (Associated Prcn Stuff Writer) (A.P. By Guardian's Speck] wlm) wAsumaTou, may 2a - A chance that grave trouble in two of the United States‘ key industries —-eteel and textiles - might be averted, was seen by government officials today after conferences

with union leaders.

Heads oi American Federation of Labor Unions in the two fields laid their walkout threats before gov- ernment spokesmen but continuing conferences were arranged.

"I am very hopeful ‘that the steel strike can be averted," said Senator Robert Wagner, chairman of the Labor Board, alter an. hour with Mike F. Tighe, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, steel and Tin Workers of America.

A conference between textile la- bor and industry leaders next Fri- day was announced by NRXS div- ision administrator, Harry O. King. after two hours with Thomas F. McMahon. president of the Unit- ed Workers. It was King's hope something could be done that way.

But Washington labor leaders, viewing the general labor situation continued to regard it ominous, fearing trouble through the sum- mer.

“I believe that there is greater and more widespread ill feeling towards employers today on the part of labor, organized and unor- ganized, than ever before in this country." said P. Frey, head of the Federation's Metal Trades De- partment in a conversation with reporters. ,

Causes or the steel and textile troubles. both threatening to come to a head next month, differ wide-

The Union steel workers are smarting under inability to make a. dent in the industry's announced policy to deal with their men through company unions and to oppose independent unions with all their might.

The textile Unionists threaten strikes because the industry, with NRNs consent is about to go on

a 25 percent curtailed summer schedule without labor getting a compensating increase in wage

rates.

In the steel situation-effected today also by final moves by the industry to modify its code at NRAB’ requesv-Wagner proposed further conferences not only with the Union leaders but, if possible with steel executives. Today's con- ference, he said, was to give him a clear picture of the situation.

The strike situation in o.her parts of the United States was as follows;

TOLEDO—-A threatened strike of Toledo Edison Company workers that would shut off home current and 90 per cent of Toledo‘; indus- trial power was the latest hazard on the labor horizon. The electric strike is scheduied for Thursday. The time for a general strike is to be announced Friday. A hundred pickets leered and threatened :60 employees at the Blngham Factory while militia officers kept an eye 0pm for another siege.

PITPSBURG, Kas-Jfearing that marching miners had put out boil- er fires and closed a strip mine, coal operators of the southeastern Kansas strip fields said they would ask for troops to pioiec. their workings. Deep aha-it operators had shut down.

SAN FRANCISCO-at comprom- ise suggested by Pacific Coast ship owners was flatly turned down by the longshoremen’: strike commit- tee, which ainounced that the strike "had just started." The ship men had offered union recognition, adhering tc the open shop prin- ciple and leaving to future negoti- ations the question of higher pay and a 30 hour week raised by the longshoremen.

NEW YORK, May 3Q two huge martial pcnce- me dis- plays, one on each sidc of the Atlan- tic and the manoeuvring of budgets for naval and military appropria- tions through the legislative houses of France, Italy and the United States occupied naval and military men today as the disarmament. con- ference opened in Geneva.

By some ironlcdl combination of circumstances the day was marked by such a renewal of military activi- ties as has not been sccn in some time.

Warriors of the Heinz were repor- ted from Cairo to be marching a- gain on Sana. The mountain capital of Yemen, Arabia, us negotiations for peace progressed faltcringly be- tween the two descrt kings. Word tonight that the Imam of Yemen hacl agreed to carrying out peace terms reached earlier indicated the current temporary peace would be made permanent.

Massed troops in the Canada and strongest sections of the Chaco jun- gles contlnucd to engage one another as the selge of Fort Bnliivan went on with much loss of life but, little ter- ritorial change.

Italian nnrnl experts attracted the attention of the British press by an- nouncing a programme for the building of two new capital cruisers at. a cost of $82.000.000, and the Manchester Guardian recalled that. this figure was to be added to the already announced Italian naval budget of $40,000,000.

At the some time. Premier Benito Mussolini announced he would fin- ance Italy's next war by putting state capitalism into force instead of by taxing the people. The state pro- fit will be in the neighborhood of $8,500.000,000 annually, he said; and the confederation of industrial lead- ers sent him messages approving the plan.

The air committee of the Cham- ber of Deputies in Paris unanimously passed ft national defence project involving the expenditure of $64.- 000,000 for new planes and the mod- emization of naval aviation gener- ally. ' United States Secretary of War George H. Dcrn told the House in Washington that the national de- fence system was inadequate, recom-

At Lorlent, France, on the Bay of Biscay, army, navy and air units all converged on the fortified port in a war game to which a. touch of real- ism was added by a. renewed search for spies. A despatch revealed, “to- night the French ‘blue’ army massed on Rhuis Peninsula, determined to defend the Atlantic Coast against a French ‘red’ fleet in the battle to- morrow while army reservists in their own aeroplanes will be the air force of the army. Problems sug- gested by new types of armaments and the shifting alignment of milit- ary powers are being worked out."

In New York City plans were go- ing forward for a review of the Uni- ted States fleet, more than 100 ships of which will sail up the Hudson River past President Roosevelt's sti- luting base Thursday afternoon.

Critical Situation Fac- es European States- men at Geneva.

(I7 George lfambleton Cuudhn Press Staff ‘Vfltcrl. GENEVA, May 29—l.n an et- mlosphere of outwardly calm del- iberation, but evdient underlying tensity, the critical session of the world disarmament conference op-

ened today.

The United States called for re- sumption of discussions on the basis of the British draft plan, the only plan actually before the con- ference, and 1‘ zssia called again for the complete abolition of arm- aments.

These were the only national viewpoints submitted at the open- lng session, as the great powers began their say. Tomorrow the French and British viewpoints will be submitted, and on the tone of the French statement by the vet- eran Louis Burthou largely hinges the question whether nuy progress is possible.

The underlying issue is the fate of the two-year-olcl disarmament conference itself, for on the course of the speeches the steering com- mittee will base its recommenda-

' tions as to future plans.

The statesmen who spoke today -foliowing Arthur Henderson's opening presidential addr-ess—did not. conceal the difficulties. “The situation is really critical," "Uncle Arthur" Henderson warned the de- legates as he opened the proceed- ings.

"We meet again, but with hopes dimmed," said Norman Davis, the Amrlcan Ambassador at large, in a tone of disappointment. And Maxim Litvinoff. the urbane Sov- ict Commissrtr of Foreigns Affairs,

(C. P. By Guardian's Sftecial Wire) LUNENBURG, N. 8., May 29. — Hank MacDonald of Sydney, N- 5- alias “Dr. W. R. MacCumber," al- leged fake eye specialist, was con- vlcted today by a Supreme Court jury of obtaining $987 under false pretenses from Enos Dares, aged Lunenburg County farmer. Mac- Donald pleaded guilty to a second charge — breznking away from the Lunenbuxg jail.

As the prisoner was led back to his cell following the jury's finding be flung imprecations against “s0- called Canadian Justice" and used abusive terms in pouring out. his opinion of the provincial press. Enos Dares, on whom the eye “op- eration" was performed, was the star witness for the Crown, and was one of 51x witnesses examined by Crown prosecutor J. G. A. Robertson before Mr. Justice Hugh Ross.

Dares told the court that on Sept- ember 6 last two men arrived at his home in Dayspring, Luncnburg County. One gave his name as “Dr. MacCurnber" and the other said his name was Hamilton. The “doctor” he identified as the prisoner. He paid out $087.14 to them for an op- eration in which MRCClllllbPl‘ pre- tended to take a. “foreign stibstonce" out of his eye.

MacDonald, going on the stand in his own behalf, declared that he was in Halifax on the day in question "repairing a. sewing machine ibr a man named Kirkwoocl." No other witnesses appeared for the defense. ‘Iwo months ago MacDonald bro-kc away from jail but after a track's liberty was discovered by Mounted Police lit a.
