ESSEN, March s. Employees Of
the Krupp Works, formerly the
greatest manufacturer of war ma
terials in the world, were pledged
not to yield to the French at .
Secret jubilee" Of 1,O40 workers
Sunday afternoon. Four women
were present, including Frau
Bertha Krupp- Bohlen, whose FAM
lily established the plant.
Says Germany h Firm.
The International News Service
correspondent was the only foreign
newspaper man present. The affair
was marked by the first public ut
terance of DIR. Krupp Won Bohlen
Halbach since the French invaded
the Ruhr. In a speech to the as
semblage he expressed the firmest
belief that Germany will not yield
to the French.
"All of us bear responsibility to
our country, but only as free men.
not as slaves" declared the speaker.
That was the meaning OF Ger
many's whole attitude
Frau Bertha Krupp-Bohlen to-
gether with five of her seven chill
dren and her mother were present
The monster jubilee (the diamond
jubilee of the founding of the plant
was attended altogether by about
5000 persons. All had been warned
to keep the affair secret lest the
French interfere and interrupt.
Under recent proclamation of
General DeGoutte. French COM
manderin-chief, due notice must be
given OF all such gatherings. The
jubilee was twice postponed for fear
Of French interference.
Diamonds Given Workers.
Frau Bertha Krupp- Bohlen and
her husband handed out to the en-
ployes magnificent diamond pins
and each was accompanied by a
hearty hand clasp. In previous years
money bonuses were distributed, but
this year 1t was not done for fear of
French seizures. Employees received
gifts Of money today while at work
So tightly guarded were the secret
arrangements that the French had
no inkling of the affair, although
this city swarms with French detec-
tives and spies. Only few scores
of yards from the scene e company
of French soldiers was quartered and
huge tanks squatted in the streets
or rumbled lazily back and forth.
Following the remarks of DR..
Krupp Won B0hlen Halbach, a
spokesman for the workers in be-
half of all Krupp labor solemnly
pledged loyalty to the Krupps.
During the past week and in the
hard times we still have ahead of US
and while we are defending our
selves against our enemies and
against oppression we are not fight
ing in a military sense but as peace
full men. Every worker, every Ger.
man must realize how closely We
are ell dependent upon each other

at stake in the Ruhr struggle.

workers must sacrifice their labor

ConIers At White House.

C0mIerB At Wll1ee House.
Relieving the failure Of the Sem
ate to confirm McNary's nominal
ton before the end of the Sixty
seventh Congress, President Hard
ing called him to the White House
this morning and offered him the
job.
McNary promptly declined. 1t
was announced subsequently that

who has been confirmed as COVER
nor of the Federal Reserve Board,
will continue to serve as Comptrol-
Ter until the President gets back
from Florida.
The announcement of McNary's
refusal to become Comptroller in
the face of criticism in the Senate
was made by President Harding per-
sonally shortly before leaving the
White House for his vacation in
Florida. He made 1t plain to news
papermen that McNary was never
a candidate for any Federal posi-
ton, hut was appointed because he
was held to be an ideal man for
the job.
Gives Out McNary Statement.
The White House made public a
letter from McNary to the Pres
ident as follows:
IT beg to express my great ap-
probation of the high honor you
re.appointing me with a recess ap-
pointment for the office of Comp
troller of the Currency.
Il am most grateful to you for
your continued confidence and
friendship and for your unfailing
support during the contest to pre-.
vent my confirmation.
mo one knows as well as you
that / did not seek the office. To
take this office oath means not
only severing all present banking
connections, but debars me from
renewing them for two years after
leaving the office. Also, the &C.
ceptance of the office means a
very considerable financial sacrifice
to me, as we'll as the sacrifice of
the comfort and happiness of my
family.
Charges Unfair Tactics.
After careful consideration, I
have been unable to convince my
self that should take up the re.
sponsibility of the office without
the full authority which goes with
a confirmation, which was pre-
vented by unfair tactics, which a
large majority of the Senate stood
ready to give, and without which
no man is in a position to render
his best service.
II beg, therefore, that you will
permit me to decline the recess
appointment with my most sincere
expression of gratitude and also
most profound regret which the in
cident has caused YOU"
