BOSTON, April 1.-Chandler M. Wood. chairman of the executive committee of the democratic state committee, made public a letter which he had sent to. Herbert Hoo yer, asking whether MT. Hoover would accept the democratic nom ination for president if it were of fered to him.

HUNT WAS
 CONSIDERED FRIEND
 BY MOBILES, AYERS

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., April 7.- George w. p. Hunt, former gov- ernor of Arizona, was considered by one Industrial Worker of the World as being "a pretty good wobbIy," according to Mrs. Mar garet Bentley of Bisbee, who tes- tified toda. at the trial of Harry E. Wootton, charged with kidnap- ing in connection with the Bisbee deportations of July 12, 1917.
 Mrs. Bentley's testimony relating to the former governor was given while she was purporting to repeat con Versation she held with two l. w. w adherents, one of them being Charles Bentley, who she testified was heI divorced husband.
 We have good friends on the out side" one of the men was quoted by the witness as having said. Governor Hunt. during the Clifton strike, sent his personal check for $500 to win the stril<e.''
 .He was pretty good 'wobbly. wasn't he?" Mrs. Bentley said she asked.
 Sure" was the reply according te the witness.
 Mrs. MeIen s. Hall, rooming house keeper of Bisbee, said that one of her roomers, whom she be- Iieved to be a fuI-bIooded German, and who she said joined the strike, threatened to blow up the town. When she remonstrated with him regarding the effect the strike would have on the government, he replied, according to the witness, ito with the government"
 Mrs. Hall added that when the man said this, she struck him in the face with a newspaper, and ordered him out of the house.
 Mrs. Mary Wilson of Bisbee, whose husband and sonin-law continued working in the mines despite the strike said she overheard some of the strikers say one day that the old man had gone" but that they would get the son..
 Mrs. WinifreG Jolles of Bisbee. whose husband did not strike, said that on one occasion some man appeared sud- denly at her bedroom window and shouted .scab," greatly frightening her.
 "A sacrifice to my country" was what Mrs. Nellie Hoy, owner of a
 Bisbee newspaper, testified she thought she would be following threats by strikers to blow up her plant because she refused to print anti-government advertisements.
 Percy l.. Walton of Bisbee, de- fense witness, recalled by the state for further cross examination, denied being an I. w W. and having offered to di- vulge secrets of that organization.

 BERLIN, April "A private telephone message reaching Berlin late this aftes- noon, reports a serious clash between colored French troops and crowds of civilians in front of the main postoffice in Frankfort.
 The troops are said to have been annoyed by the crowds which continu- ously jeered at them, whereupon they opened fire. killing seven persons and wounding many others, including women and children.
 The message said the feeling of re- sentiment among the civilian popula- ton was visihly increasing as a result of the incident.
 Many rumors are current in Berlin to the effect that the United States is addressing a note to France demand ing the withdrawal of French forces from Frankfort.
 No newspapers are yet appearing in Frankfort, and the city Is entirely without information regarding the, contents or the notes exchanged be- tween Berlin and Paris and other events connected with the French oc- cupation of German towns.

 PARIS, April 7.-Considerable re- action was noticeable today in French public opinion. which was unanimous ly favorable N~>terday regarding the advisedness Of the occupation of the Rhine cities. Official circles were silent.
 The failure of the American am bassador, Hugh C. Wallace, the British ambassador. the Earl of Derby. Baron Matsui, representing Japan, and Count Bonin-Longare, Italy. to express an opinion concerning Premier MiIlerand's note is not interpreted as unfavorable but as merely pointing to the fact that none of them has yet received instruc- tions concerning the attitude of their respective governments on the situa- ton. The attitude of the government officials, however. is one of expect ancy, and there is even some anxiety regarding the probable course to be adopted by the allied governments.
 Great interest is displayed in the meeting of the British cabinet tomor- row and there is much speculation as to Washington's official expression
 Banking. financial and business cir cles are more outspoken: the opinion is freely expressed that intervention was untimely and detrimental to French interests. At the stock ex- change today the belief was expressed

OPEN SHOP FIGHT
ON IN MIDDLETOWN
Miami Cycle Plant Lays Off Polishers With Excuse o

Offer to Take Men Back After Shutdown of Four Days
At Reduced Wages, But Workers Refuse
and Strike

counselor is now on the ground in

The men are standing firm, and
with the exception Of a number of
those Who have taken up position
elsewhere, with the sanction Of the
local, every one Of them is on the
picket line The firm has induced =
number Of young, inexperienced men
to tackle the jobs, but it is said that
they are having a lovely time Of it.
1t is said that superintendent
Blackford has sent out letters to some
of the employees and to other manu-
facturers in Middletown, telling them
Of the unfairness Of the metal polish
ers and one Of their international
officers. This only convinces organ
ized labor Of Middletown that other
plants Of the city are going to CO.
operate with the Miami Cycle Com
pany in the fight to lower wages and
establish the open" shop in that city.
While the polishers are said to be
the only organized craft employed,
most all the other employees refused
to stand the cut, and there is very
little doing in the plant This fight
opening up at the Cycle Company
when it has, just when much unrest
is being aroused throughout the
country, because of the same tactics
of this company, is doing much good
for organized labor in Middletown as
it has awakened labor in that city to

are getting closer together.

The long-looked-for fight for the
"open" shop in Butler county is on.
1t broke out in Middletown in the
plant of the Miami Cycle Company
two weeks ago On Wednesday, Oe-
tober 27, the firm posted the following
notice: Owing to conditions in the
industrial world we are forced to close
down our entire plant Saturday, Octo-
Der so, until further notice The in
consistency of the firm can readily be
seen by its later action. On Monday,
following the closing down of the
plant on Saturday, Mr. Blackford
superintendent of the plant, asked to
meet committee from the polishing
room on Tuesday, November 2. This,
however, being election day and mum
Der of its members having been en-
gagged for other work on that day,
the committee refused to meet the
superintendent on that day, but ar
ranged for meeting for the follow
ing day, Wednesday, November 3.
At that meeting on Wednesday, Mr..
Blackford announced to the committee
that any of the polishers, willing to
return to work at so cents per hour,
can do so at any time. Previous to
the shutdown the men were receiving
80 cents per hour.
The committee reported back to the
men the results of the meeting and a
special meeting was called Of all the
men involved At this meeting the
situation was fully gone into and dis
cussed. Much indignation was arous-
ed when it was pointed out that the
notices posted that, owing to the
conditions in the Industrial world this
plant will close down indefinitely"
was mere camoufage for covering up
the real purpose that is, cutting
down of wages and the first step to-
ward inaugurating "open" shop meth
DDS in Middletown. The men voted to
return to work at the old scale of 90
cents or nothing. The committee so
informed Mr. Blackford, and that gen
tleman said the company positively
will not pay more than so cents per
hour, and the men declared strike
and the fight is on. The strike has
been officially sanctioned by the In
ternational Metal Polishers, Buffers
and Pliers Union. An international
