WILL to ANY LIMIT TO DEFEND LABOR'S RIGHTS
Members of Machinists' Unions May Be Assessed
 S1 a Week For Fund.

Washington, Oct. 25.-"We are willing to go to any limit to main- tain the right organized labor has enjoyed for 20 years" said one fed eration official in discussing the above.
 William 1T. Johnston, president Of the international association of ma chinists, the second largest interna- tional union affiliated with the fed eration said he would order a vote of the 35O,000 members of his as sociation. He and other officials said there was not no doubt that similar action would be taken by all the 112 affiliated unions..
 Mr. Johnston said there was in creasing tendency of some employ CTS to bind their workers with in dividual contracts so as to shut out trade unions. This was particularly true, he said, in the metal trades and "direct action' might be resorted to if all other means of advancing the interests of the unions failed.
 It was made known that the pro- posed anti-strike legislation would be one of the subjects to be dis cussed at the forthcoming confer ence here of union labor chiefs.
 In line with the call from President GOmpers for financial support of the steel strike Johnston announced that an assessment of $1 a week on the entire membership of the machinists' association as a defense fund will be proposed next month

MURDERER OF NUN
 CONVICTED TODAY Trial Clears Up Mystery of Dis
 appearance 12 Years Ago BODY FOUND LAST SPRING
Jealousy is Said to Have Been Mo- tive For Crime-Accused Was Put to Plea On October Made Con- feSSiOn.

Leland, Mich, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Stan 1slaWa Iypchinski, charged with the staying 12 years ago at Isadore, near here, of Sister Mary John, a Felician nun, was convicted of murder in the first degree by a jury in circuit court here this morning.
 The jury deliberated nearly 12 hours before reporting a verdict.
 Sister Mary John disappeared from the little convent at Isadore, August 23, 1901, and for years it was gener- ally believed by townspeople that she had become lost in a swamp, durins, the course of a walk through the woods.
 Early last spring, however, Jacob Flees sexton at the Isadore convent made affidavit that he had helped transfer human bones from a shall low grave beneath the convent to a nearby cemetery. The bones were ex- humed and with them were found pieces of the habit of a nun of the Felician order. Shortly afterwards a warrant was issued for Mrs. Lypchin- ski, who was housekeeper for Father Andrew BienOWski, priest of the Isa- dor parish at the time of Sister Mary's disappearance. The prosecution was not called upon to prove the bones were those of Sister Mary, the de- fence admitting this point to expe- dite the trial.
 Mrs. Lypchinski was placed on trial October 1, and a confession which she was alleged to have made to a woman detective was introduced by the prosecution. The confession, which gave jealousy of Sister Mary as the motive was denied by the de- fendant.
