Federation Declares Measure
InimicaI to Public Interest and
Destructive Of Sea Power
BRITISH LEADERS TO SPEAK
BY IL, Associated Press

Cincinnati. O., June 13.-The Ship
Subsidy Bill now pending in Congress
was condemned by resolution unani-
mously today by the American Feder-
alton of Labor us inimical to public in
terest. and destructive of the Nation s
hope for seapower.
The program for today calls for
addresses by British labor leaders who
were sent TO this country as fratrrnal
delegates from the British Trades Clion
Congress.
From the messages of the foreign
leaders the convention delegates ck-
abroad that might be applied in this
country. and also be informed Of the
labor movement abroad. especially IN
the aspects applicable to both American
and European labor.
The British delegates are II. II.
Smith. acting president of the Miners
Federation of Great Britain. and II. G..
Poulton. an officer of the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union.
Strength for the movement in the
convention to elect Benjamin Schles-

She called neighhors. she said, and they
summoned physician.
Mrs. Rrunen was questioned by De-
tective Parker. but at first only in d
perfunctory fashion. as he wished TO
lull her into a sense of security. Her
mail and telephone calls were watched
from the time Of the murder. and she
was followed when she left home.
Cirrus MIN Feared Death
Narious persons we're questioned by
the nOlice. but all released. Mrs. Eliz :
abeth JaeSchkc, a sister of the murdered
man. caused sensation when she re =
vealed letter written to her in Chi
cago by lfruncn. in which he predicted
that he would be murdered. and begged
his sister to show the letter to the au =
tloritiPs in that event. He said in the
letter that he feared his wife was plot
ting against him.
Detective Parker kept secret hl4
moves until April 20. when he an
nounced that he had arrested Powell
three weeks previously as the murderer
Powell had confessed that he had fired
the fatal shot. Parker announced. The
confessed murderer sCrted that he had
been hired TO commit the crime by
Mohr. who was arrested in Camden
April 20.
According to Powcll's confession
MOhr said he wanted Brunen killed for
his brutality toward his wife and her
inother. Mohr denied the charges in
every detail.

and good many votes to lose If they
carry out the Presidents will on both
projects.
They oppose action on aid to shipping
at this session because it will be i'm
possible to secure action on it in the
Senate before November. With regard
TO the Senate. they appear to be on sure
ground. I learn that the private es-
tmate Of the most active Senate lead.
ers Of he date by which 1t will be pos
Sib'c TO obtain the passage of the tariff
bin through the Senate is October 1.
This will be in the height Of the cam.
naign and Senator'S cannot be kept in
Washington beyond that date. Nothing
but the tariff bill and the bonus bill
can be passed before election.
The House leaders believe it would be
good politics to pass the Musc'e Shoals
bill before election. even though the
Senate will be unable to act on it, and
that it would be bad politics to pass the
subsidy bill under such circumstances.
Perhaps n compromise will be reached
by which both bills will be put through
the House.
May Pass Trick Bill
So as to make the compromise n little
more feasible the Muscle Shoals bill
may go through in form that will not
be acceptable to Mr.. Ford. Members
up for re- election may then say that
they voted Muscle Shoals to Ford on the
only terms legally possible, but that
Ford would not agree to them.
That Is the line which the majority
in the House Committee on Military
Affairs took in its favorable report on
the bill. The Government built during
the war a steam plant at Muscle Shoals
on land that did not belong TO it. but
is the property Of the Alabama Power
Company. Mr.. Ford insists that this
steam plant is essential to the Muscle
Shoals project and that therefore he
must have 1t. The Government main :
tains that it. cannot let him have the
steam plant without the consent of the
a ALBANIA Power Company.
The Alabama Power Company will
not consent. The legal question is not
quite so simple as have made 1t seen
here. for the Alabama Power Company
has a shadowy contract with the Gov.
crnment regarding the steam plant.
Mr.. Ford says he will take his chances
on getting that steam plant II 1t is voted
to him and indemnify the Government
against loss through law suit.
The majority of the House Military
Affairs Committee voted to let him have
Muscle Shoals minus the steam plant
and there stands, for the present, wha,
may be a major political issue in al
agricultural sections of the country.

vention of the Northern Baptist

tinuatiOn of board meetings. which oc-
cupied most of the time Of the dee

creed to the convention which II ratified

tist Churches. 1t was said by mem :
bers of the more conservative element
