NAVAL BUDGET IS
HOTLY CONTESTED
Plenty of Opposition Against
Having an Enlisted Force
of Only $4,000 Men.
(Ry Tho AssOcIated Press)

April 12.-The 1929
naval budget ran through hostile
waters in the house today.
AS the weary end of solid hours of
debate was reached today, with less
than a corporals guard on the floor,
the air was filled with claims by lead
ers opposed to the bills provisions for
an enlisted force OF $4,000, that votes
enough had been pledged to beat it.
This prediction, coupled with vio-
lent attacks on the measure, took the
edge off Chairman Kefley's smile, and
once or twice he put on his fighting
clothes Time and again the chair
man broadly charged that back Of the
movement for a bigger navy was the
desire of members from navy yard dis
tricts to increase the total appropria-
tion so that the activities OF these
establishments might not be curtaiied
Suggestions from some sources that
the committee add little to its per-
sonnel strength were cast aside by
Chairman kelley with the declaration
that the bill had to stand or fall as
reported, and that IL the enlisted figure
was raised to $4,000 there would be a
record vote in the house.

LOT MORE NONUNION
MEN ARE ON STRIKE
Lewis Estimates That $4,000
Additional Nom Union Miners
Have Joined in Strike.
lay The AssoeIa.ad Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April IA
Seventy-f1ve thousand nonunion coal
miners, an increase of $4,000 this week,
have Joined the union workers on
strike in the soft coal fields, according
to the estimate tonight of President
John L. Lewis, of the United Mine
Workers of America This increase,
he said, brought the total of idle min
ers to 665,OOO. the largest number
ever engaged in a tie-up OF the coal
fields. The total includes 155. 900 an
thracite workers, half Of whom ap-
proximately are not members of the
union.
While union figures did not include
any announcement as, to the distrt-
button by states OF the men on strike,
it was declared that the strength of
the nonunion movement was in CEN
tral Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Union officials said that coke and coal
production in the Fayette, Pa, county
field had been cut in half during the
last ten days and indicated that they
expected further inroads to be made
by the union organization.
Mr. Lewis and other officials de-
cIined to comment on Attorney Cen
eral Daughterty's anDouncement that
he would not permit operators and
miners to repeat acts which had led
to indictments for violating the Sher-
man antitrust law. However, the
union view here coincided with the
statement In New York Of Vice Presi-
dent Murray of the miners organiza-
tion, who declared that government
intervention to force the bftuminous
operators into conference was the
only means for ending the strike.

THE One BIG UNION
Charges William Forest of Be-
ing the Instigator of Move
ment in Organizations.
tsy rhs Associated Press,

CHICAGO, April 12.-William z.
Forest who directed the steel strike
was charged tonight by Samuel Com
pers. president of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor with being the insti-
gator of the so-called One Big Union
movement in the labor organizations.
The charge came in an address before
presidents of various unions in the
Chicago Federation of Labor and fol-
lowed session in which the One Big
Infon movement was assaiaed and de-
tended.
Forest had spoken In defense of the
One Big Union principle recently ap-
proved by the Chicago Federation OF
Labor which passed a resolution
petitioning the American Federation Of
Labor to call a conference to discuss
feasibility of amalgamating all unions
in any industry into one central body.
This resolution, Mr.. Gompers contend-
one big union.
Back of that resolution Mr.. Com
pers charged, is the propaganda of
radical revolution to overthrow the
constituted government Of the United
States. To do that, as Lenine himself
said, the American Federation of La
Dor must be overthrown and William
iz. Forest wants to become the auto
crat OF America"
The meeting ended after Mr.. Com
pers' address when Forest tried to
regain the floor but was unrecognized
by Mr.. Gompers, as chairman and was
shouted down.
Replying to criticism voiced by
speakers, that the American Fedora
ton OF Labor was distntegrattng Mr.
Gompers asserted that "in no similar
era of American Industrial history has
the spirit of unionism been so alive
and virile.."
