Madero, the martyr President of Mex
ico, and Minister Of Finance in his
nephew's Cabinet, pleaded guilty yes
terday before Judge Mcintyre in Cen
eral Sessions to an indictment charg-
ing grand larceny. The charge grew

of copper sulphate stored with the New
York Harbor Warehouse Company, by
means of which Madero and his asso-
ciates, Toxic L. Mile and Nathan Laz-
arus, obtained 100000 from the bank.

only 100 tons of the chemical in the
warehouse.
Restitution was made, and at the re-
quest of the National Bank of Com
merce for clemency, Judge MCINTYRE
suspended sentence on Madero and on
his associates, Milic and Lazarus. who
were also under indictment for grand
larceny. 1t was claimed by Mr. Madero
that he was in Texas at the time and
did not know Of the shortage in The
warehouse until after he was indicted
in April. 1918.

delegates from the 1870 local unions.
after a four-hour session. Of the
unions represented on the committee
40 had voted to participate in the

The resolution calling off the strike

to work Sunday or to-day to go on
strike again until tomorrow noon as
demonstration Of the solidarity of
labor so that ali would return to work
together
confused by this request, and it was
considered uncertain whether it could
be generally observed
Officials Of the Metal Trades Council,
$4,000 members of which are still on
strike, refuse to comment on the effect
which the end of the sympathetic walk
out may have on their strike.
Mayor Ole Hanson made the follow
ing sttaement:'
"The calling off of the general
strike will not replace union labor
in the high position it held in Seat
tie. Without reason, without cause,
our city lay PROSTATE. Union labor
must clean house. Seattle may for
give but it cannot forget"
The Mayor also declared that he
favored the passage of a law that
should compel employees of essential
Industries to swear allegiance to the
United States government in preference
to any union, and to make it illegal fol
them to quit their positions or strike
unless there were others to replace
them.

contractors on the S45,O00, 900 army
base in Brooklyn, yesterday undertook
to break the strike which has held the
work up since November i last. when
carpenters struck for $3.50 a day.
There were soldiers with loaded rifles
to protect the strike breakers. but they
found nothing to do, the union failing
to put on its picket line of ex-soldiers
and sailors in uniform.
Neither the Turner company nor
Major Perrine, the army officer in
charge of the construction work, would
give any figures as to the number Of
men put at work. At the Offices of the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton the number was placed at 100, or
about 5 per cent of the number that
will be required. OF this number many
were negroes A few were in army
uniforms.
The unions, on their part, struck
another blow at the members of the
employers association by ordering the
plasterers, elevator constructors, tile
layers, soft stone cutters and marble
layers employed on work OF members
Of the association to quit. BY this
it is expected to paralyze work on
these jobs and automatically throw the
men in other trades out of work.
