WOBBL|ES ARE
SEEKING UNITY
IN CONVENTION
Lone Lrsss:ber Worker Is
Sulking in Tent

The convention of the Indus
trial Workers of the World was
still busted yesterday with the
report of the credentials COM
mittee, after having absorbed
practically all the delegates who
first were inclined to adhere to
the split convention called by
Rowan and the other G. E. B.
members who had applied to
the capitalist courts for an in
junction.
No one was at the hall at $50
w. Washington St., where ]. A.
Griffith had asked all delegates
to gather, aItho the hall had
been paid for.
At Emmett Memorial Hall it was
stated that all delegates but one, from
the lumber workers, had come into
the convention. The whereabouts Of
this Lonesome Lumberjack" is I'M
known. Similarly, the leaders of the
Rowan group, Rowan, Bowerman,
Griffith and the rest, are not present
at the Emmett Memorial Hall. l. w.
w. members, when asked if they were
expected, declared that it was unlikely
as the membership were very bitter
against them.
Fighting Doyle-FIsher.
However, altho this group has failed
in getting a split convention to start
with, the delegates from the unions
controlled by them-altho not them
selves involved in the controversy, are
fighting inside the convention to wipe
out some of the stigma attached to
their representatives on the G. e. B.
by allegations of the Doyle-Fisher
group, and to attack Doyle and Fisher
for their conduct which, it is asserted
led to the split
The demands, sixteen in number,
which were made upon the convention
as a price of continued unity, are
quite lengthy and varied Among them
are the demand that delegates from
both factions in the metal workers
be seated and that the report of the
auditing committee, which found Rad
dock and Bowerman short some $500
in accounts, and upon which as par
tial evidence they were expelled from
their industrial union, be declared
void and their books subject to a new
auditing.
VIII Elect New Delegate.
The opposition to Doyle and Fisher
won point, or so 1t was considered
by Doyle and Fisher, in the unseating
Of Mike Gapper as delegate from the
small Industrial unions, on the
grounds that he was involved in the
controversy. These unions are plan
ming to elect new delegate.
Tom Doyle, the general secretary.
treasurer, told the DAILY WORKER
reporter that the whole convention,
from first to last, may be closed to
all but !. w. W. members. This is
an unprecedented procedure in the I.

giles, IL made no effort to conceal its

which had come up from the Wash

Police Ask Repeal of Regulation
Requiring "Slow- Down" at
Crossings.

A recommendation for the repeal
OF the new regulation recurring
motorists to slow down to eight miles

department only intended the eight

stated by police officials today that
the application of the reduced limit

was included through a misunder-

The police heads have recommend

such phraseology that it will cover

A few days after the regulation

THE commanding and practical

He believed that the true progress

His conviction was that Christian

PHkRA0H'S COFFIN
FREEF FROM SHRINE
Officials and Carter Now Dis
Cuss Date for Viewing
Kings Mummy.
By the Associated Press.

by Ine Associated EresS.
LUXOR, Egypt, February 4.-For
the first time in 5000 years the great
stone coffin of Tut-ankh-Amen stood
forth today in all it's majesty, shorn
of it's protective nest OF golden
shrines
The fourth casket proved, in How
ard Carter's experienced hands, a less
formidable problem than was first
surmised. and a few hours work yes
terday suf1iced to disengage the sar-
cophagus. Then II was seen that the
enthusiasm evoked by the glimpse
obtained four weeks ago Of one end
of the sarcophagus through the open
doors of the inclosing shrines was
justified.
AS massive in construction as it is
chastely simple in design, and as un-
touched by time as it is inviolate from
the hands of tomb robbers, this
grandiose stone chest. cleaning pink
beneath the glare of the electric
lamps, must be acclaimed a unique
specimen of the Itinerary art of the
eighteenth dynasty:
Goddesses Guard Coffin.
The four crowned goddesses of
death who, in traditional posture,
stand at the four corners of the coffin,
with wings outspread to shield the
dead monarch from the forces Of evil,
are boldly and deeply incised-full-
breasted, with slender arms and
powerfully winged, each with one
hand grasping the "anch.' or key of
life, which figures in the dead pha-
raoh's name. The lid is massively
solid and inscribed in bands with
lines Of hieroglyphics.
The sarcophagus is thought to be
even larger than the massive coffin
of Haremheb, in an adjoining tomb.
which itself is a fine specimen of
eighteenth dynasty sculpture, rough
~, six feet high, five broad and seven
long.
1t was an emotional moment for
the eXcavators when they first gaZed
upon this royal coffin unseen by NOR
tails since the undertakers of ancient
Thebes set about their long. difficult
task of inclosing the sarcophaguS in
its four ornate fiorid castings.
Poignant Moment for Carter.
For Mr.. Carter the occasion was
particularly poignant, for in his long
years of experience in eXcavating
many important tombs it has never
before been vouchsafed him nor, in
fact, any excavator in the known
records of Egyptology, to gaze upon
an Egyptian royal sarcophagus un-
scathed by pillagers or marauders.
All the members of the party now
are anXiously looking forward to the
solemn moment i'll the near future
when the lid shall be raised and the
mummy of Tut-ankh-Amen exposed
to view.
The excavators have all the tackle
for raising the lid of the sarcophagus
ready to be erected. and a start will
be made in installing it as soon as
the sepulchral chamber is sufficiently
cleared. 1t is probable that consider
able manual labor with hammer and
chiSel will be necessary to loosen the
lid, as these are usually tightly
cemented.
Discussions now are proceeding be-
tween the Egyptian government and
the eXcavators, it is understood, rela-
tive to the date of the ceremonial of
the opening of the coffin, which is to
be attended by government officials.

News of Great Moment.
The news of the departure of Capt

as being of great moment, especially
because Of the activities prevailing

command of the Franklin, and will
