Union Rejects S-HOur Day
in BROOKLYN War Plant

A difference of four hours a week
between the demands of members Of
the international Association Of Ma
chinists and the concessions made oy
their employers. the +. w. Bliss Com
pam. NAV result next week in tie
up of activities of the big war NUM-
tions plant in South Brooklyn. Be
sides shorter working hours, the men
also demand an increase IN wages.
President James W. Lane, Of the
Bliss company, which has been employ
ing 4.200 men night and day, announced
Yesterday that il had been decided to
reduce the working hours OF all ma
chinists in the plant to forty-eight
hours a week The men want forty
four hours week and an increase in
wages.
(. J. Deerng, one Of the unions
business agents, said yesterday the
concession would not avert a strike.
Among local labor leaders It was
predicted yesterday that nationwide
strike in all United States arms and
ammunition plants would be launched
shortly 20 force the observance Of an
eight hour working day The strike
will affect 100000 machinists, brass
workers, moulders, pOttcrmakerS,
blacksmlths, sheet metal workers and
allied trades. labor leaders assert.
Michael J. Cearney. OF the lnterna-
tional Association of Machinists, made
the following statement yesterday:
"The strike IT Bridgeport was a
mere premature outbreak which had
not been anticipated By the interna-
tionaI officials 1t has delayed the
preparations for nationwide strike.
Many plants in this city and vicinity
will be the first to be affected by the
national eight hour strike. There are
many firms which are taking sub-con-
tracts from large firms for war orders"
Union members yesterday fouted re-
ports that German agents were respOn-
sible for the impending strike.
II do not believe that" said Mr.
Deering What we want is our legal
rights and the right to share in the
huge profits which the companies are
squeezing out of the toll Of their men.
There is nothing new in our demands
We have made them time and time
again The only difference is that We
were not strong enough to force the
issue then. But we feel We are strong
enough now to win"

stored.

LATE TO WIN BOUT
Batters Dundee Around Ring in
Closing Rounds, but Loses
on Points.

Johnny Dundee, of New York. defeat
ed Jose Rivers, Of Los Angeles, in ten
rounds at Ebbits Field last night, bit
one more victory like it and Johnny
probably will retire from the ring.
After assimlating all the punishment
Dundee could deal out, Rivers rallied
in the ninth and tenth rounds and fought
like a iend He battered Dundee froin
one corner of the ring to the other,
sweeping him on before storm Of
punches that rendered futile any guard,
however strong. He had Johnny weak
and tired and bleeding from half a
dozen cuts. In longer bout the MeXl-
can might have won, but his work in
two rounds, however heroic, could no,
overcome the effective work of Dun
dee in the preceding chapters.
The crowd cheered Rivers as he left
the ring, and not Githout cause. In
these two rounds he was every inch
the Joe Rivers who Iought himself up
to within reach of the lightweight
championship, only to fail when the
acid test was applied by AID Wolgast

There were probably two thousand
persons in the mob which packed the

Muttle had promised Rosenthal $3.50

Federation of Labor, will be called TO

labor leaders were Influenced by Ger
man propagandists in calling the re-
cent munitions and arms strikes at

These were brought to police headquar-

Daring the morning twenty delegates
Of the Central Labor Union OF Hudson

the union, said when questioned by
newspaper men it was absolutely nee

Kinkead has failed in his effort 10
induce the cities of Hudson County to
send to Bayonne a body of their po-
lice. He asked for a hundred uni
formed men. Yesterday he got five
from Union and eleven of the Hudson
Boulevard motorcycle policemen.
The Sheriff insists that il is impos-
sible to subdue the strikers with dep
uties in plain clothes. These are re-
garded by the workers as scabs who
have come to steal their jobs, and not
as officers Of the law.
All through the forenoon peace
brooded over Bayonne. Early in the
morning the Sheriff went the rounds
of all saloons in town, to see that they
were obeying the law and remaining
closed. Then he conferred with the
strikers committee, who promised TO
cooperate with him in keeping the
men Of the street and IN urging DIS
continuance of violence.
The remainder of the morning was
taken up by TIE strikers in the holding
of interminable meetings in Mydosh's
Hall. Twenty-frst Street and Avenue
F, and by the Sheriff in attempting TO
get the police he needed from the cities
of Hudson County. Union was the only
town to respond to his plea for help.
Jersey City and Hoboken both refused
to send men, saying that many Of them
were on vacation and that the remain
der were needed at home.

After the second Becker conviction.
Harris AYERS, Rose said he didn't want
Becker to 90 to the chair and had
hoped for a disagreement.
He several times asked me what

to anybody about me, be guarded in

Hartford T. Marshall. formerly Web

porating his letter to Chief Judge

peals, in which he said Weber told
him that Becker had nothing TO do
with the murder.

las known for twenty wears, told HIM
that it had not Been planned to Kill
Rosenthal; that the intention was TO
