C.I.O.Organizers Into Dominion-Demands Quebec and Ontario Have Greater Say in the Affairs of the Dominion.Toronto, June 4.\u2014No longer a \u201cMackenzie King Liberal,\u201d Premier Mitchell F.Hepburn today looked back on a long association with the Dominion Prime Minister, an association that ended because of the alleged \u201cvacillating\u201d policy of the federal administration over the Committee for Industrial Organization issue.In a speech last night before the Canadian Life Insurance Officers\u2019 Association the Ontario Premier renewed his attack on the John L.Lewis Committee for Industrial Organization against which he has been adamant since the start of the recent Oshawa automobile workers\u2019 strike.Then he raised his voice and said: \u201c1 am going to make a serious statement, one that will probably make a headline.I am a reformer, but I am no longer a Mackenzie King Liberal.I\u2019ll tell the whole world that and 1 hope he hears me.\u201d The renunciation came after Mr.Hepburn declared there would be no lawlessness in Ontario begotten by the C.I.0.as long as he was Premier.\u201cI cannot speak for Canada,\u201d he declared, \u201cbecause we have a vaodlatmg government at Ottawa.\u2019\u2019\t-\u2014- Eleven years ago Mr.Hepburn was elected to the House of Commons as a supporter of Mackenzie King.He was re-elected at the general election of 1930 and sat under the present Prime Minister until he took active leadership of the Ontario Liberals and 'became Premier of the province in 1984.?- DUKE OF WINDSOR MAY DROP THE STYLE OF \u201cROYAL HIGHNESS\u201d 1 London, June 4.\u2014 British sources considered it possible today that the Duke of Windsor might drop the style of \u201cRoyal Highness\u201d which has bpen denied his wife.They pointed to omission of the \u201cRoyal Highness\u201d from statements ou the Duke\u2019s behalf after the ceremony.Previously the \u201cH.R.H.\u201d had been used in similar announcements from the Chateau de Cande.Was One-Time Champion of Present Premier At the last general election in' 1935 Mr.Hepburn toured Canada in the interests of his old leader.The C.I.O.issue to which he referred had its inception early last April in the Oshawa strike.Numerous Canadian business leaders heard the Premier\u2019s statement of renunciation last night.Premier Maurice Duplessis, head of Quebec's Union Nationale Government, was to have spoken on the same programme, but was unable to attend.Ontario and Quebec provided the large bulk of revenue for the Dominion Treasury, Mr.Hepburn declared.His own province contributed forty-seven per cent, of the total and Quebec another substantial portion.Therefore, he fled, they should have more say in national affairs.Of Premier ^ Duplessis, the Ontario Premier declared: \u201cI look forward to the day when he will play an ever more important part in the affairs of this Dominion.\u201d Doubts Present Prosperity Is Really Sound ?-* Mr.Hepburn said he doubted present prosiperity in Canada was fundamentally sound.It was promoted, he believed, by Europe\u2019s feverish preparation for war.Business revival could not ho prejudiced seriously so long as United States maintained the present gold price.After making his announcement of a break with his former leader, Premier Hepburn said he was willing to \u201cforget partisanship in the interests of my country.\u201d As long-as he w-as Premier, he said, \u201cUnited States organizers won\u2019t get their hands in the p*y envelopes of Canadian workers.\u201d Substituting for Premier Duplessis, Hon.Bona Dussault, Quebec Minister of Agriculture, declared there was no idea of separation in the policy of the government he represents.Just because it called itself \u201cNational\u201d it did not mean it favored separation in the Dominion.The country was greater than its parts, he declared.HEPBURN OUTLINES OWN POSITION WITH PRESS OPPONENTS OF COURT REFORM REJECT OFFER Proposals to Add Lesser Number of Justices to U.S.Supreme Court Not Acceptable to Anti-Administration Senators, Washington, June 4.\u2014The first public indication of an administration compromise on the United States Supreme Court bill brought a terse refusal from a leader of the Opposition today to accept any modification.After Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, said on the White House steps that amendments would be offered, Senator Burke (Democrat-Nebraska) commented: \u2018We will be here until the end of time before such a bill will ever pass.\u201cThere can\u2019t be any compromise on the.basis of adding a lesser number of justices to the Supreme Court for the purpose of influencing its decisions.\u201cIt is a perfectly clear issue between those who are willing to add some members and those of us who are fighting to maintan an independent court.\u201d Robinson, who conferred with President Roosevelt for two hours last night, gave no hint of the nature of the proposed amendments 1o the controversial bill.He said he might offer one himself.\u201cThe measure,\u201d he said, \u201cwill be Please Turn to Page 2, Col.7.ASSASSINATION PLOT EXPOSED IN AUSTRIA Vienna, June 4.\u2014 Nine persons were under arrest today charged with a \u201cfantastic\u201d plot to assassinate Chancellor Kurt Von Schusch-nigg and bomb the Chancellery from the air.A Chancellery official disclosed the immature conspiracy last night and said nine persons of Nazi sentiment had been arrested.The Chancellor was to have been shot, police said their probe disclosed, when he visited the grave of his wife.FRANCE PLACES ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS ON BORDER Action Taken to Protect French Towns from Possible Attack by Spanish Insurgent Planes.Perpignan, Franco-Spanish Frontier, June 4.\u2014France armed her side of the Spanish border with anti-aircraft guns today to repel any attack by Spanish planes.The step was taken after protests from the French city of Cerbere when it was machine-gunned recently by Spanish insurgent planes in a raid on Government-held border positions.GERMANS AND IRISHMEN RETURNING HOME Lisbon, Portugal, June 4.\u2014 Two hundred and ninety Germans who arrived last night from Seville, southern Spanish insurgent base, made ready for departure today for their homeland.It was understood the Portuguese steamer Mozambique had also been chartered to transport 650 Irishmen home from Spain.Insurgent Spain Stunned By Death Of Leading Aide To General Franco General Emilio Mola, Commander-in-Chief of Fascist Forces in Northern Spain, Instantly Killed when Plane Crashed on Fog-Bound Northern Coast.Toronto, June 4.\u2014Premier Mitchell Hepburn\u2019s views on his position with Toronto newspapers was associated by the Ontario Liberal leader last night with his renewed denunciation of C.I.O.policies and his renunciation of the leadership of federal Prime Minister Mackenzie King.Mr.Hepburn named all three papers: the Daily Star and the Globe and Mail, both traditionally Liberal, ami the Evening Telegram, Conservât ivo, The Star has taken issue with the Premier\u2019s stand against Labor Leader John L.Lewis\u2019

of a fog-bound airplane on the Biscayan front where his tactical genius had brought his armies within sight of besieged Bilbao.Flags were at half-mast throughout insurgent-held territory.Officers in uniform wept openly as the news of his death was broadcast.All public activities were sus-pended and newspapers called his loss \u201cirreparable for Spain.\u201d Franco in a special decree posthumously awarded the commander of all the insurgent armies in Northern Spain the Grand Cross of San Fernando, Spain's highest military honor.Immediately after the death of the forty-six year old \u201cSoldiers\u2019 General\u201d was known, Franco split his former command.General Fidel Davila, head of the technical junta of the insurgent regime, was named commander of the forces operating against Bilbao and on the Biscayan front; and the Aragon, the Soria and thy Madrid fronts were placed under General Andres Saliquet, who had directed operations against Madrid under Mola.The same penetrating Basque fog which had temporarily held up the advance of Mola's armies caused his death.Two staff officers and two pilots died with him.Despite the protests of his staff, he left.Vitoria

Men\u2014Deadlock Between C.I.O.and Independent Steel Producers Continues.Detroit, June 4.\u2014The Chrysler i fer at Columbus with Ohio\u2019s Gov Gorp.announced today that its ! ernor and asserted: Jefferson and Kercheval plants had been closed following a sit- down strike in the Jefferson avenue plant.Approximately 11,000 men were affected.\u201cThe sit-down was on the motor line at the Jefferson plant,\u201d a company official said.\u201cIt came when two members of the United Automobile Workers refused to work alongside two non-union men.The sit-down spread to other departments and before long we had to close both plants because of a shortage of cars and bodies.\u201d He said no conferences have been scheduled with the union.UNION RENEWS DEMAND FOR STEEL CONTRACT Youngstown, O., June 4.\u2014Philip Murray, chief of John L.Levis\u2019 steel forces, uncompromisingly declared u union contract must be signed as he scheduled his first peace conference today in a bloody seven-state strike against three ¦major producers of the United States.As the C.I.O.Steel Workers \u201cI\u2019m not going to settle this strike until Tom Girdler signs an agreement.\u201d Girdler, chairman of Republic Steel Corp,, the only one of three concerns attempting to operate in the face of militant picket lines, was Murray\u2019s target at a strikers\u2019 mass meeting last night in Warren, O.A few hours before, he had announced in conjunction with a meeting of key leaders along the Buffa-lo-Ch:'cago strike front which has made at least 72,000 men idle, that a campaign would be started for members in Minnesota and Michigan ore fields of the three concerns.It is in these states that Republic\u2019s northern mines are centred, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.and Inland Steel Corp., other major independents who have constantly refused to sign union contracts, are making no attempt to operate their sprawling mills in the nine-day-oid strike.Decision of Gov.Martin L.Davey to confer with Murray, director of strike activities in the greatest test of the S.W.O.C.\u2019s year-old organization drive, was disclosed in Columbus by John Owens, Ohio Organizing Committee added a director of

Illegal.The Sherbrooke Daily Record regrets that it has published misleading statements in their issues of May 28th and 2\u20189th with reference to the seizure of a diamond ring made by Mrs.B.Cohen, of this city.No implication was intended to have been made that the transaction in which Mrs.Cohen was concerned was illegal or reprehensible in any manner, shape or form.Further, the reference that interest of twenty-four per cent, was charged on the note is untrue, in that seven per cent, was the rate charged.This newspaper withdraws any London, June 4.\u2014A suggestion that Rev.Robert Anderson Jardine, vicar of Darlington, who performed the Anglican marriage ceremony for the Duke and Duchess of Windier, should be deprived of his Church of England living was advanced today by Rev.Prebendary F.Anstruther Cardew, Rural Dean of France, in an interview by telephone from Paris with the London News-Chronicle.\u201cAny clergyman under my jurisdiction here in France who performed such a breach would almost certainly be deprived of his living,\u201d said Prebendary Cardew.\u201cWe must wait now and see what steps are to be taken in England by those responsible.\u201cSome time ago, after the Duke had left England for Austria, the Bishop of Fulham (Rt.Rev.Basil Batty, who was in charge of Anglican affairs on the continent) \u2019ssued an order to all English clergy abroad reminding them of conditions which had to be fulfilled before they could perform marriage ceremonies.\u201cReference was intended to the Duke.While he was still in Austria, the problem of their probable marriage was outside my control as Rural Dean of France, but as soon as the Duke arrived at the Chateau de Cande it became my responsibility.\u201cThe Duke must have known of -\"^this prohibition from England, for so far as I know he made no attempt to secure a church ceremony through me.No doubt he wished to spare my feelings, for I would have had to refuse and this would have been painful to me, for he is an old friend' of mine and I have known him since he was a Iboy, \u201cIt was, therefore a great surprise and a great shock when I learned that Rev.R.A.Jardine had arrived from England to perform the marriage ceremony.* CANADA URGES LEAGUE REFORM AT CONFERENCE Desirability of Bringing United States, Germany and Japan into League Membership Discussed by Imperial Conference Delegates.London, June 4.\u2014Reform of the League of Nations was before principal delegates to the Imperial Conference this morning.Amid the varying views expressed there was general agreement, it is understood, along two lines : That despite its failures in regard to Ethiopia and Manchuria, the League should be continued as an influence for world peace; That measures for League reform should be directed towards its uni-ver-sality ; in other words the adherence of the United States and the return of Germany and Japan.No concrete scheme for League reform, it is stated, has been considered.But discussion of universality brought under review the whole question of sanctions as provided by Article XVI of the League Covenant.It was argued that the League without the United States, Japan and Germany was a very different organization from that originally contemplated and that the effectiveness of the League would be increased as its membership approached universality.Foreign Secretary Eden also in- and all wrong implications which the publication of the articles com- ; formed the delegates of proposals plained of may have created in the : made by the

penalties, if any, will follow Mr.Jardine\u2019s behavior I do not know.It is of course a matter for the Bishop of Durham, in whose diocese Darlington lies, and others to decide.I might say, though, that any clergyman under my jurisdiction here in France who performed such a breach would almost certainly be deprived of his living.\u201cBut there again is another complication, for Mr.Jardine has performed the ceremony outside his own diocese.How he will register the marriage is a puzzle to me.He cannot, obviously, use my register here in Paris, nor my representatives here at Tours'.Nor can be use his own, for it cannot be moved without permission from the Archbishop of Canterbury.He must then have merely registered the service on a piece of his own notepaper.\u201cWe must wait now and see what steps are to be taken in England by those responsible.\u201cOne thing is clear and should be carefully remembered.Mr.Jardine, when he married Mrs, Warfield, did not represent the Church of England at all.He had no authority whatsoever.\u201d The Church Times, an Anglo-Catholic (High Church) publication, said that \u201cpretended solemnization\u201d of the wedding at the Chateau de Cande was an \u201cirresponsible action ' on the part of Jardine.''\t?î Picture of Duke Appears in British Press.*-?Meanwhile, for the first time in months, pictures of the Duke smiled from the pages of the
