Pending the finding of the re-

they could not offer a theory as

The county coroner said he be.
lieved the woman had been dead
not more than 48 hours when
the legs and arms were found,
and that _ the amputations were
made within 34 hours after death.
Two men walking through the
field stumbled across the limbs
at 5 a. m. They called police, who
at once roped off the field from

however, that the torso and bead

AKRON, O. Sept 4—«-A re-
sort to the courts for punishment
of employers violating collective

codes today was promsed workers
by William Green, president of the
American Federation of labor.
In a labor day appeal for support
of the Roosevelt Recovery program,
toe Federation leader said he was
"confident that more than a mil-
lion new members have joined with
us ’ He described the NRA as open-
ing "the door of opportunity for in-
dustry and labor."
Green spoke under the auspices
of toe Akron Central Labor Union.
He aaid, "a new deal has been ac-
corded industry and labor."
“In all fairness,’ Tie aaid. in-
dustry could not expect to appro-
priate to itself toe benefits of the
National Recovery act and deny
to labor the benefits which were
accorded it. If Industry is per-
milted to organise and control busi-
ness labor likewise must be permit-
ted to organise for mutual helpful-
ness and protection And labor is
doing that very thing
