TWO THOUSAND
TO WALK OUT AT
los ANGELES

! UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE,
Los Angeles, Cal, June 12-Every
union man employed on building CON
struction in Los Angeles will be
called out on strike tomorrow morn
ing, according to an official state
ment today by Secretary E. F.
Mooney of the Building Trades
council.
Seventy-one per cent of the mem
hers of the council, in a referendum
vote which has Just been tabulated,
voted for the strike. The officers de-
clare they are prepared for a finish
fight.
Although 1t is asserted that the
strike is called with the object of
enforcing the union card, the i'm
preston is general that it is part of
a program for the more complete
unionization of Los Angeles. Union
officials refused today to discuss this
feature of the matter. 1t is known,
however, that such has been contem-
plated.
Two thousand men will be affected
by the move. The craftsmen that
will leave their work include plas-
terers, painters, carpenters, plumb
ers, steam filters, tin workers and all
allied crafts.

sideration of the Louisiana contests
The Louisiana contest is between
three delegations of six delegates
each, who claim the right to cit as
delegates at large.
Furious at the seating Of the two
Taft delegates from the fourth Callfor-
MIA district, the Roosevelt men de-
clare that the national committees
action is only part Of a Taft plan to
lay the foundation for an attack on
the whole delegation from California
and other states, where delegates were
elected from the state at large.
ELL WIN Pop"
This attack, they claim, will come
before the committee on credentials.
1t is understood the real reason for
the committees action was their be-
lief that, no matter what the commit
tee did, the Roosevelt men we're de-
termined not to recognize their tenn
porary roll for the convention. The
national committees action, however,
has embittered the Roosevelt faction
still more and makes It certain that
pandemonium will prevail ON the
floor when the convention is called to
order So bitter is the feeling that IL
is almost certain that there will bo
personal encounters
The Taft steering committee deny
that the national committees action in
the fourth district Of California case
means that the Taft men plan to ouut
the entire Roosevelt delegations from
California and other states when tho
credentials committee meets.

CHILToN'S BILL

Government.

1 United Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, April H. Basis for
a claim against the United States OF
500, 100000 or more Is contained in
a bill introduced in the senate by Sen
ator Chiffon, of West Virginia.
THE bill will make the country sit
up and take notice." Chiffon declared.
Its object Is to give jurisdiction to
the court of claims to determine the
claim of any of the original states
under the cession made by Virginia
in 1854 for the vast territory west OF
the Ohio river-the northwest terri
tory
Virginia claimed all this territory
under colonial grants Maryland and
other states objected to entering the
Federation Of States If Virginia had
this land. The Old Dominion state
thereupon agreed to convey the terri
| tory. Heretofore it had been accepted
that this cession was made without
conditions.
Chiffon raises the point that the
cession did not provide that the
United States should have the bene
fits of this land-and holds that only
the three original states should bene
| fit by 1t.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Universal
sorrow was expressed today over the
death of General Frederick Dent

confined to military circles, as the

the constant companion of his disting-

he often told friends that the sight
of his fathers suffering had complete

When he was seized with throat
trouble last year, he was convinced
that the malady which ended the ca
reer of his distinguished sire, cancer
of the throat and tongue, had laid its
heavy hand on him, and all efforts to
shake off that feeling failed.
Friends believed today that this
feeling Of depression must have inter-

was heart failure
