WINNIPEG. June LEADERS of the
general strike have for the first time
given evidences of eagerness to settle
the industrial dispute which has en-
veloped Winnipeg for nearly four weeks.

nounced by the strike leaders and de-
mands for speedy settlement were fire.
quently voiced in union ranks today.
Although employers have stated that
the strike must be called off before any
settlement would be considered. strike
leaders refuse to say whether their ac-
ceptance of the Cancellation offer in
cluded immediate resumption of work
With the addition of l 800 veterans to
the police force. parades have ceased by

VIEWS CLASH AT TRIAL
OF POLICEMAN MELVIN

When the trial of Policeman Otis w.
with having committed an assault
upon Mrs. Augusta Ruby Nicholson in
her apartment at 907 18th street
northwest, midnight of March "a, was
called before the police trial board
this morning there was a clash be-
tween Attorney P. ]. Ryan. one of
the counsel for Mrs. Nicholson. and
Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert
l.. Williams, chairman of the board.
Mr.. Williams refused to permit At
torney Ryan to appear as counsel, for
Mrs. Nicholson for the reason. as he
expressed it, that the hearing was
not a prosecution of Melvin by Mrs.
Nicholson. but hearing Of charges
against Melvin brought by the po-
lice department.
Attorney Ryan gave notice of ex-
ceptions to the ruling of Mr.. Williams.
of the police trial board to permit
counsel to appear for all complainants.
and that as a member of the District
bar he had the right to appear before
the board as legal counsel for Mrs.
Nicholson.
He gave notice that he intended to
take the matter to higher authority
the District committee of the House.
Mr. Ryan caustically criticised Maj
Pullman, superintendent OF police, who
had failed to appear at the hearing
after having been duly served with
subpoena.
Melvin's defense is fiat denial
that he assaulted Mrs Nicholson and
his explanation of his presence at
the door Of Mrs. Nicholson's apart
ment is that he had gone there in
response to a report that had reached
him that there had been trouble OF
some kind, and he was there to in
vestigate.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Bradstreet's
review of trade says:
Wholesale and retail trade and in
dustrial conditions are more uniform
ly favorable than at any previous
time this year. and the chief source Of
complaint in distributive trade now 10
that present active demand is reveal
ing past ultra conservatism in order
ing. in shortages of merchandise in
many lines. Especially Is this noted
in retail lines, which have spurted I'M
der the stimulus of summer months
b. The only lack of favorable u1iform-
ity is that noted in crop reports from
the south. where continued rains are
putting cotton farther in the grass,
and from the southwest. where har-
vesting of a bumper wheat crop Is in
terfered with by the same trouble.
On the other hand. much needed rains
have helped spring wheat and newly
planted corn. and farther east warm
weather has quickened growth on
farms and in gardens.
The tenor of wholesale. trade re-
ports is as good as ever in all lines
and better in some hitherto tagging
trades"

STATUS OF MAR|NEHES
AND YE0MEN (F) TOPIC

The case Of the marinettes and yeo-
men CD in the Navy Department was
discussed by the naval affairs COM
mittee with Secretary Daniels today.
The opinion an expressed by members
Of the committee, by the Secretary
and in letters from the Civil Service
Commission is that these women
should not be put directly under civil
service, nor should they be allowed to
come into prejudicial competition
with returning soldiers and sailors
for jobs, but should be restored to
civilian status and then allowed to
qualify under the civil service in
competitive examination.
The opinion of the Civil Service
Commission as expressed in two let
tiers submitted by Chairman Butler
and signed by Charles NJ. Galloway
was as follows:
"The Navy Department justified it's
action in enlisting this force on the
ground that the duties were military
in character. 1t is inconsistent now to
urge that the duties are civil as the
persons.
1.-THE naval reservists who are
honorably discharged will DO thrown
into competition only with soldiers
and sailors who are also entitled to
preference"
One letter also points out that the
President is on record as opposing
classification of persons because they
had been holding such positions
Secretary Daniels, in effect agreed
with the commissions views,

EXECUTION OF NISSEN
BRINGS BERLIN STRIKE

BERLIN. June (by the Associated
Press).-The Greater Berlin soviet
which Is dominated by the radical
proletarian elements. has ordered a
general strike in
protest against the execution at Mu-
mich on Thursday Of Levine Nissen,
the Bavartan communist leader.
Many Of the large shops were closed
this afternoon and the surface and
subway transportation lines will not,
it is expected, be in operation at any
time on Saturday.
MUNICH, Friday. June (by the
Associated Press).-A general strike
threatens this city as result OF the
execution Of Levine Nissen. Occupa-
tional troops have been ordered to
prepare to meet any emergency.
It seems probable that Levine Mis-
sen, named above, is identical with
the bolshevik leader Levien, who has
figured prominently in the press dis
patches in Connection with the Munich
soviet regime. The arrest Of the COM
munist leader Levine" who had pre-
viously been referred to as editor of
the Red Flag Of Munich was an
nounced in a Munich message of May
Is, and a dispatch earlier this week
reported his sentence to death after

THINK Mr.. WILSON WILL
I NOT SEND TREATY TEXT
Officials Believe President Will Re-
ply Negatively to Senate
Resolution.

Administration officials believe Pres
ident Wilson's reply to the Senate
resolution asking.for the peace treaty
with Germany will be that it is not
with the public interest to
furnish the text at this time.
This belief was strengthened by dis
patches today from Paris saying the
American peace delegation apparently
is firm in it's decision not to authorize
publication of the treaty until it is
signed. The Senate resolution has
been sent to the President in Paris.
Preliminary preparations were be-
ing made today for the investigation
to be conducted by the Senate foreign
relations committee into statements
that copies of the treaty are in pri-
waite hands in this country. This in
quiry. authorized by a Senate resolu-
ton adopted yesterday, maye take a
wide scope.

Merchants Protest to Commission.
er Kutz That Entrances to Base

A committee representing the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
held a protest conference with En-
gfneer Commissioner Kutz this morn
ing in the District building in an eff
fort to check a police crusade against
uncovered sidewalk vault openings
to shipping Easements of stores. Sew
eral prominent merchants were ar
rested during the past week charged

The regulation has been in force for
years, but it was just in the past
week that the police began crusade

Sidewalk openings are absolutely
essential to the conduct of business.
and at the same time are a help rather
than a hindrance to sidewalk traffic.
