Police at Loss

Murder Mystery
Only Suspect Arrested in
Michigan Staying Gives
Satisfactory Account
of His Actions.
Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Jackson, Mich, June 9.-Police ad-
mitted they were on the point Of
abandoning their two principal clues
as to the slayer of Miss Alice Mallett,
matron of the Florence Cr;ttendon
home, who was slashed to death with
an axe last night.
II is believed that Robert Brockie,
first suspect taken in for questioning,
will be released. He has given a
satisfactory account of. his actions
last night. Supposed blood stains
found on towels in his kitchen are
now believed to be varnish stains.
Search of swamp about two and
a half miles north of here was virtu-
ally given up late today. Farmers
at noon reported man making TO-
wards the swamp. A posse of 50 dep
uties and more than 100 townspeople
hurried to that district. They beat
through the heavy underbrush. The
swamp itself is impenetrable and it
is conceded no man could fight his
way through it.
Officers declare the crime was the
work of a mentally disordered per-
son and wide search has been insti-
tuted to round up every suspicious
character within 50 miles.
The last person to see Miss NAL
lett alive was Mrs. Adele Welsh, a
dressmaker, at whose home Miss
Mallett spent the evening. Mrs.
Welsh walked with Miss Mallett to-
wards the Crittendon home. The
body was found about 100 rods from
where the two parted.
Blood hounds followed trail
from the dead body to pond half
a mile distant, where it is believed
the murderer washed himself. At
the pond the trail appeared to be
lost.

Labor Leader Interprets Colo.
RADIO Coal Decision as Mega.

to Strike.
May Appeal to Congress

Cincinnati, June 9.-Protests of
organized labor, as voiced here to-
day at preliminaries for the annual
convention next week OF the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor, ccntercd
against the supreme court, the con-
gress and state legislatures in general.
Samuel Gompers, president of -
federation, in addressing a club Of
business men, interpreted the su-
preme court decision in the celebrated
Coronado coal case as a negation of
the right to strike, and declared that
organized labor would appeal to con-
gress for new legislation setting aside
the decision. -...I
VIII Not Dodge Fight.
In criticizing the supreme court,
Mr.. Gompers said that he expected
to be taken strictly to account" for
his utterances, adding that II do not
run away from a fight"
"But, it has come to pretty pass" +"
he continued, when an American
citizen can no longer discuss and
criticize the decision of the court. Any
one, if he feels so disposed, can criti-
cize even the president of the United
States or the United States senate
or the congress. Pray of what flesh
are the members of the supreme court
that they are above criticism beyond
that OF the president of the United
States!" .,...t.
Delegates to the meeting of the
metal trades department of the
federation, by unanimous action, as
sailed congress and state legislatures
as enemies of labor, and declared
for labor's active preparation in the
fall campaigns in an effort to elect
its friends regardless of their poll
tics. ' f..
Unions Liable.
In his speech, Mr.. Gompers said
the Coronado decision made inter-
national unions, endorsing strikes,
liable for damages, and he asserted
this meant the unions must with
stand constant litigation Q. get
out of business"
| IF you compel men and women,
regardless Of conditions" he con-
tinued, ito work against their will,
you have re-established slavery.
Some people seem to think now is

4 DESTROY the unions"
In this connection, he warned
against driving the bargain too
hard" asserting that "a "day OF
reckoning will come" and adding
that the organized workers are the
greatest stabilizing force" in the
country. Referring to rail union
chiefs, he said they had prevented
strikes, which he said had been de-

preston of a hope for the time when
employers and employees would
solve their problems at the confer

No LET UP in

November Throughout

DECEMBER WILL
BE RECORD MONTH

WASHINGTON. Dec. is Omitted
press) THE nationwide building
boom which commenced last sum
mer. is continuing through the win
ter months falling 10 show the eX-
pected seasonal decline, according
10 the national headquarters OF the
Associated General Contractors
here.
Contracts awarded for all kinds
of building during the month OF No
vember reached almost S250,00O,-
600. being but slightly below the to-
tai of contracts let in October. No
vember is the month in which
sharp seasonal decline is usually
manifested. Indications point to a
record month of December.
In some years nearly 100000
men have been thrown out OF work
during the winter months, when
employment Is sorely needed. This
year the number will be reduced to
an extremely low figure.
The explanation advanced by ex-
perts here who have had the fingers
On the pulse Of building conditions
since the war is that there is such
shortage that climatic conditions
and high prices are not a sufficient
deterrent to building deemed neces-
sary.
Statistics compiled by the associa-
ton reveal that as a whole the ma
ton is two and half years behind
on necessary building. At the other
extreme is Kansas City, Kas., esti-
mated TO be a fraction of a year
ahead of its building requirements.
While reluctant to make forecasts
of how long present boom condi-
tons in construction will continue
some experts declare that unprece-
dented building will take place at
least through next summer Begin
ming next winter. urgent construction
win have been taken care OF. they
say. and prevailing high costs of
building will then operate to bring
about another depression in the in
dustry.

when the Robinson amendment, designed to nullify the
results of the limitation of ornaments conference

Mr., Kendrtck voted with his Democratic brethren
