Sylvia Kutchuk, fifteen years old,

Little Sylvia did not watch the per-
Torrance long. She ran and she didn't
stop until she dashed across the
threshold of the West 177th Street po-
lice station. Breathless, she told her
story, and the desk lieutenant assigned
a detective and patrolman to the job.
When the police arrived at the shop
they. saw a man hitting Schnitzer on
the head with a blackjack and demand
ing that he tell him the combination

Lands Wage Scale or
Open Shop in Chicago
Builders Association Serves
Notice on Employees; Some
Non-Union Men Working
Special Dispctch to The T,;b,,,,e


CHICAGO, Sept. 1o.-Oficials of the
Chicago Building Construction EN-
ployers' Association sent out an ulti-
matum to employees this afternoon
that the open shop principle of employ
ment would prevail in the building
trades next week unless the workers
accepted the wage scale fixed by Judge
X. M. Lands. Non-union hosting en-
glneers already have replaced those
who refused to work yesterday on two
big jobs. Other workers who laid down
their tools will be replaced by union
or non-union men on jobs where in
dlvidual members have walked out.
The builders association will post
the new wage scales on every building
under construction informing the work
men that they can have their Jobs
under the scale fixed by Judge Lands.
A majority of the unions will meet
Sunday to determine their course of
action. Some already have accepted
the award because they promised in
advance that they would abide by the
decision. But individual members have
refused to work at the reduced wage
and are seeking other employment.
The contractors, however, are con-
fdent that with millions Of men out of
work, not only in the building trades
but all other lines, it will be compare
lively easy to establish the open shop
in Chicago.

Democrats Try to Keep
Underwood of Council
Necessity for His hid in Tax
and Tariff Debate Is Urged;
Bornh Endorses Selections

From The Tribuns's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. --- Renewed
pressure by some of his Democratic
colleagues upon Senator Oscar Under
wood against his accepting President
Harding's prefer of appointments to the
American delegation to the armament
limitation conference was apparent at
the Capitol to-day.
Senator Underwood undoubtedly ranks
with the most able men in Congress on
the subject of tariff and taxation. 1t
IS Tor this reason members OF his party
believe he should remain in his seat in
the upper house%during the next few
months at least, or during the time
these two matters are Being, considered.
they contend that his services as
minority floor leader in helping shape
the tarlft and tax revision measures
would be far more valuable to his party
and. the country than any part he could
play in the armament conferences,
Similar urgings were pressed upon
Mr.. Underwood several weeks ago
when his. name was first mentioned for
one of the delegations and while the
democratic leader has not indicated. so
Tar as is known, what step he will take,
there is a strong impression at the
Capitol that he will accept.
Senator Borah, author of the dis
armament resolution which was respon-
sible for the calling of the conference.
stated his approval Of the membership
of the American delegation for the
first time to-day.
1T is very able delegation" he
said. ut is now up to the people of
this country to make their wishes
known and opinions felt"
Approval of the personnel of the
delegation was also given by Senator
Hitchcock, ranking Democrat on the
Foreign Relations Committee.
"The announcement of the American
members of the disarmament limita-
ton conference now officially made
should give general satisfaction.
Hughes, Root, Lodge and Underwood
constitute strong committee. Neces-
sarily they must represent in the end
the President and his views and pol
