UPHOLSTERERS IN
APPEAL FROM AN
UNJUST VERDICT
Amazed at Decision for
Scab Employers

The upholsterers' union ask for a
new trial for the four members Of
their union and Fred Jurish, a mem
Der Of the painters union, who were
convicted of conspiracy 10 boycott
in Judge Wells court.
The verdict of guilty came as
complete surprise to the men on trial
who felt confident that they would
be acquitted The jury was out sew
eral hours before it brought in its
verdict. The jury not only found
the defendants guilty but fixed the
punishment. Thomas 0'Shea and
William Riordon were fined 500 and
Gus Dahl, Michael ]. McKenna, and
Fred Jurish were fined $50 each.
A Compromise Verdict.
The verdict was evidently a com
promise one reached by the jury after
it had deliberated some time.
The men on trial were indicted
last December following unsuccess-
full efforts Of the employing uphols-
tcreIs' association to break a strike
which had lasted since May first.
Dudley Taylor, attorney for the up
holstery bosses, was the prime mover
in having the men indicted and
brought to trial.
The entire case, boiled down, con-
sisted of the charge that the men on
trial bad pasted stickers appealing
to building trades workers to ask
upholstery workers with whom they
came in contact to show their union
cards.
So fiimsy was the case against the
defendants that they did not put up
a defense, considering that the state
had not proven that a conspiracy ex-
listed.
Life Of Unionism at Stake.
The men who were on trial have
repeatedly said that conviction would
be court declaration to the labor
movement in Chicago that union ac-
tivities were illegal "If we are con-
victed it may be legal to strike but
it will not be legal to tell anyone
about the strike. When a strike is
called it will have to be kept q
secret" is the way one Of the men
put it.
AS soon as the jury had returned
its verdict the lawyers for the de-
Tense notified the court that they
would make motions for q new trial.
The court has set March 9Th as the
date on which the motions viii be
heard.
The fines will not be collected until
after the motions for a new trial
have been heard.

LUDENDORFF ON
TRIAL FOR beer
CELLAR PUTSCH
Freshmen and Witnesses
at the Opening


MUNICH, Feb. 26.--In the gloomy
chambers Of the OLD war academy,
all entrances to which were pro-
tected by barbed wire and armed
lsoldiery General Ludendorff, his
step-son, Lieut.. Heinz Pernet, Adolf
HITLER and seven former army Off
GERS and doctors were tried today
for treason.
Ludendorff stalked at the head of
the little procession Of prisoners as
they were marched into the dock.
HITLER, notorious monarchist agi-
tatOr, brought up the rear, Juggling
a huge portfolio of defense docu-
mentS under an arm.
Ludendorff and HITLER entered the
trial chamber where sixty newspa-
permen and fifty witnesses were the
only ones besides judges and guards
admitted.
Of the prisoners, only Lieut.. Rob-
ert Wagner was in uniform.
Ludendorff's bearing was proud
and sneering, as tho he ignored the
cOAiCWHhb pOtllAOH Will
which he was confronted.
The crime with which the pris-
oners were charged was Of plotting
against the state in that they led
the ludicrous beer cellar putsch that
failed so completely Nov. 8, 1923.
The trial opened at $3.50 a. m.
The complete list Of prisoners in
cluded: General Ludendorff, Adolf
HITLER, Lieut.. Heinz Pernet, Ernst
Poehner, DR.. Wilhelm Frick, DR..
Friedrich Weber, Capt. Ernst Rohem,
Lieut.. Wilhelm Nrueckner, Lieut..
Robert Wagner.
Colonel Hermann Kriebel and Chief
Judge Ladgericht presided.
Altho 1t was understood that the
defense of the accused was to have
involved throwing most Of the blame
for the putsch that failed upon Gen.
eral Won Kahr and General Lossow,
plans were changed by defense coun-
sci at the last minute.
Won Kahr, dictator of Bavaria, and
Lossow, head Of the army, resigned
last week. The defense will insist
they co-operated in the putsch plans.
The defendants planned TO claim
they were not guilty Of treason
since they did not aim to separate
Bavaria from the reich, but to es-
tablish a new form Of government,
namely a monarchy.
The trial began after the judges
had filed solemnly into the chamber.
District Attorney Stenglein read
the indictment, which was lengthy
recital Of events or that Hateful beer
cellar night.

ANTI-LANDIS men
NOT INFORMED OF
CONFAD, THEY SAY
Conference. on Chicago
Issue, March IL

Representatives of those building
trades unions which refused to rec
ognize the Lands Award and have a
separate building trades council
charge that they were not notified
about an important conference to be
held March II for the purpose of de-
termining which is the authorized
building trades council.
Yesterday it was announced that
the conference is to take place with
the members of the executive coun-
Gil Of the building trades department
Of the American Federation Of La
Dor and international officers par
ticipating.
Lands Crux Of Trouble.
The situation which finds Chicago
with two rival building trades coun-
ellis grew out Of the arbitration
award Of 1921. Some of the build
ing trades unions agreed to arbi-
trate their demands with Lands as
arbitrator while some Of the unions,
notably the carpenters and the paint
ers, refused to arbitrate. Lands
handed down a decision adversely
affecting not only the men who had
agreed to accept him as arbitrator
but also affecting all trades which
had not agreed to arbitrate. As a
result Of the refusal of most of
the unions to accept the award ri
val building trades were set up.
The split in the ranks Of the
building trades workers was the sig
nal for the open shoppers, under the
leadership Of T. E. Donnelly to try
to force the employment Of nom
union workers in all the trades
which refused to agree to the terms
Of Judge Lands.
Meeting Just Held In New York.
The painters have been demand
ing that the building trades unions
be brought together in one council.
At the Portland convention Of the
building trades department of the
American Federation o. Labor the
executive council was instructed to
meet with the international officers
Of the unions and straighten out
the matter. AS a result the -Aecu-
tive council called meeting which
was held in New York Citv last
Monday The building trades depart
ment Of the American Federation Of
Labor refused to recognize either If
the Chicago building trades, councils.
At the New York meeting all the
building trades unions with the ex-
ception Of the carpenters were rev.
resented by their international off,
GERS. The carpenters are not part
Of the building trades department.
Their president, James Hutcheson.
was invited but declined to attend
the meeting.

CAL ASKS AID
FOR GUS TING
OFDAUGHERTY
Attorney General On Trial By
Wheeler Resolution

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-
President Coolidge today asked
his cabinet to help him decide
what to do about Daugherty.
The President was to place
before a meeting of his adj
visers these alternatives, re-
speeding the attorney general /:
THAT he be permitted to remain
in the cabinet pending a senate hear
ing Of the charges against him. I'm
der this arrangement, it would be
understood that Daugherty would
place his resignation in the Presi-
dents hands at once to be accepted
after the senate inquiry was ended.
If the senate acquitted" him,
Daugherty then could resign with
out quitting under fire" If it Con
victed" him he would have to resign.
2.-That Daugherty be asked to
resign at once. This would put the
President in direct opposition to
John T. Adams, chairman of the re-
publican national committee, and
other political leaders but would find
him in agreement with senatorial
leaders like Lodge, Pepper and Bo-
rah.
Because Of the belief that some
action regarding Daugherty was i'm
pending at the White House, senator's
backing the Wheeler resolution for
investigation of the Department Of
Justice indicated they might not at
tempt to pass the measure today. 1t
is to come up and debate on it will
constitute in a sense a preliminary
trial of Daugherty, as the charges
made by Senator Wheeler and others
are to be thoroly discussed.
It's adoption, however, may go
over until tomorrow, unless the ex-
pected announcement from the White
House decides senators to put 1t
thru at once.
Daugherty Has Defense.
Daugherty wants the investigation
started without delay and is ready
to meet it with a partial defense
which he has placed in the hands of
Senator Willis, Ohio.
The attorney general in letter to
Willis admitted he speculated in
Sinclair oil stock. He bought it be-
fore he became attorney-general, he
said, and six months after Teapot
Dome was leased to Sinclair, Daugh-
erty sold some of his stock in an eff
fort to recoup losses. Then he
bought it back again. Finally in the
Fall- Of 1923 he sold all his Sinclair
holdings, taking loss Of about $2S
a share.
He denied that in his stock deal
ings he had any "tip" or that he
ever used any information that came
to him as a government official.
No opinion was ever asked Of him
regarding the leasing of the naval
reserves, DRugherty wrote, and he
never gave one. He said he had no
connection whatsoever with the leas-
ing.

to replenish their supplies. Two
policemen, whose names should be
cited for heroism, were on the out

fascist arrived began firing at them.
After brief exchange Of shots, the
fascist fed in confusion and Saltillo
