CAPT. CHAMBERLAIN IN
 FIGHT FOR HIS HONOR
Dismissed Marine Corps Aviator Insists He
 Told Truth.

Washington, June 25.-The senate naval committee investigating dis missal after court-martial of Captain Edmund c. Chamberlain. San An tonic. Texas, marine corps aviator, whose story of a sensational battle with German planes on the western front led to his return to private life, closed its doors to the press to- day soon after the inquiry started.
 This is a naval matter" Chair man Ball stated, ''and until it is es- tablished that the navy treated this captain right I am of the opinion that the investigation should be con- duced in executive session in accord ance with custom"
 Major Seth Williams, U. S. M. G., counsel for Chamberlain, stated at the outset that investigation had con- vinced him of the truth of Captain Chamberlain's claims that while on a furlough visit to a British sector in July. 1918, he participated in an air battle in which he brought down five German planes, damaged two others and accomplished other un- usual feats. Major Williams charged that Captain Chamberlain had been accorded no opportunity to gather evidence to substantiate his story, the denial of which by British off, cers. he said, led Admiral Sims, then commander-in-chief of American naval forces in British waters to or der an inquiry.
 ajor Williams said Captain A. N. Proctor, U. S. N., who was detailed to conduct a preliminary inquiry be- came convinced that Captain Cham berlain was guilty of falsehood, and decided to recommend that testimony by the defense be dispensed with.
 At this point the committee closed its doors.

Principles Advocated By
 Strikers Undermine
 Foundations Of Mutual Bargaining, Is Charge Made
If Accepted, It Would Give All Workers Right to Quit,
 Shut Down Plants and De-
 mand Arbitration.

New York. June 25.-The Interna- tiona1 Paper Co. in n statement to- day giving it's version of the strike (which has affected all it's mills since Aay 1. asserts:
 The practical value and fairness
 T mutual bargaining through the trade agreements in this industry. are to some extent on trial, and argu- mcnta in their favor are not strength ened by the expression of this strike" The company explained that, to llayoid a strike it had addressed their Communications to its employees. The ! first two explained conditions con- fronting the industry and emphasized need for readjustment. The third. 1 issued May 24. contained a concrete Iproposition for resumption of opera lions, with small wage reduction that would bring the scale down 10 W in effect in many of the larger
 s Of the country.
 Company's Explanation The necessity of arranging for mutual bargaining between the com- pany and it's employees was urge for the sake of preventing strikes in .he future by rcconciling difficulties by mutual agreement before, instead of after. the stopping of the machines" | no disguise of the companys ex- pressed desire to bargain with it's bwn employees collectively and the
 opipany's willingness for its em- ptoyes to be members of trade unions wus plainly stated
 Tho company assorted that at [ onference here this month, em- ployes had protested against any re- Aduction in the wage scale--which khe company said two and a half Vilmes as great as in 1915-but had made no counter proposal.
 oncr Is Rejected. ''The officers of the trade unions. as the conferences ended, proposed that the company should consent to the arbitration wage scale alone and start the mills under the old scale" added the statement. 'Inasmuch as Athc plan involved three arbiters on each side and an umpire and as the
 kbltrnted scale was not to go into
 feet until the week following the delivery of the arbitrsment. the com pany was obliged to reject it.
 For these who think that any arr bitration proposal must needs in fair ness be accepted, it must be pointed out that this proposal covered the wage scale alone and that the condt- tions of the arbitration proposed put q premium on delay in Investigating and in reaching a decision so that months might elapse before a new scale might afford any relief to the business of the company.
 "If the company agreed to the sug- rcsted arbitration 1t would mean that they would establish principle that without any previous discussion of the merits of the questions in dispute between tho company and its em- pioyes. could call a strike shutting down the plants of the company and then demand arbitration which. in actual practice. 4polishes mutual bar gaining between employer and em- pioye."
