DETROIT BOSSES
OUT TO SMASH
GARMENTS union
Look On Organization
AS Bad Example
By SHERMAN BOWMAN.

(Stan Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
DETROIT, May 19.--Local 26, Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway employees has fore
stalled lockout or strike on the De-
troit municipality owned street rail
way lines, by petitioning the circuit
court for writ Of mandamus compell-
ing the commission to recognize the
arbitrator the union has named and to
name another to negotiate with him.
The $500 platform employees are de-
handing a ii per cent wage increase,
readjustment of working schedules to
reduce IL hour split runs and recogni-
ton Of the union.
The attitude of the commission to-
ward organized labor has become pub
lie knowledge thru telegram from
one of the members, G. Ogden Ellis,
now in California, in which he urges
showdown on his contention that the
union must be destroyed.
Attempt to Smash Unions.
No more fragrant understanding
methods have been used by private
corporations than by the working exc
cutives of the city's railway lines and
and the commission. These gentle
men have been told by industrial en-
ployers here that the solidarity of the
street railway mems union is a dan
gerous example to unorganized factory
workers. Consequently, union officers
have been forbidden the right of col
lecting dues at car barns, forbidden
leave Of absence as platform employees
to carry out their union duties and re-
fused permission at the barns to cir
culate a petition declaring that the To-
cal and international union executives
were the accredited representative of
the men.
Owing to intimidation carried on
against the workers, it is regarded as
triumph for the union that only 80
per cent Of the workers voted at a pri-
mary election staged by the commits
sion May 10 for creating dual dem
ocratically elected" organization.
Welcome strikebreakers.
The commission has acknowledged
the offer of the Employers Associa-
ton of Detroit to act as strike
breaking agency in strike or lockout
The manager Of this employers "un-
ion" pointed out to the commission
ers that between 5000 and 1000 for
mer platform men were working in
Detroit shops. And the manager said
the member firms. would be asked to
call volunteers from their own plants
to man the idle street cars, the volun-
teers being granted leaves of absence
while their services as strike break
ers were required.

CLEVELAND FAILS
TO CONSIDER new.
LABOR PARTY.
Federation NJ a c hin e
Wrecks Conference
BY J. A. HAMILTON.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)


CLEVELAND, o., May ia con-
ference of delegates from Cleveland
Local Union and other workers or
CARNATIONS held May IA, on the call
of the Cleveland Federation Of Labor,
to consider the advancement of labor's
interests in politics, was steam-rolled
to death by the federation machine
when it became evident that the SEN
timent was to for independent po-
litical action.
The conference was packed with re-
dictionaries not elected as delegates
but who, with the help of President
Mclaughlin Of the Cleveland Fedora
nion, who presided, carried their point
hat as standing delegates to the Fed
sration or the Building Trades Coun-
ell, they were entitled to seats. Smith,
Business Agent of the Building Trades
Council, finally moved recess which,
altho Overwhelmingly voted down, was
declared carried by Mclaughlin, who
then adjourned the meeting.
Nothing definite had been accom-
plished, not even arrangements for a
future meeting.
Confusion as to procedure and
points at issue prevailed thruout. This
was partly due to the centrist attitude
Of "Progressives," such as Max Hayes
and Albert F. Coyle, editor of the Lo-
connective Engineers Journal
The pure and simple" A. F. of L..
policy, good enough for the reaction
airy delegates, is not quite good
enough for Hayes and Coyle, who sup
ported the hybrid proposition to organ
ize a non-partisan political movement
independent Of all political parties,
which would organize Cleveland by
ward committees ana in case the old
parties fail to nominate Labor" men
for any Office, would put UP good"
men for such Office This vague pro-
posal, because of its possibilities of
developing into independent political
: action, was opposed by the "Old
Guard" and because of its close re-
semblance to the regular Gompers'
program, was unacceptable to the
more class-conscious elements.
Labor Party Sentiment.
However, the early discussion show
ed a strong sentiment in favor Of a
Labor Party, so when the question Of
adoption of policy came up, the ma
chine feared to allow a definite vote.
Max Lerners motion to organize a
Labor Party was ruled out of order.
Smith, the gangs floor leader, moved
'-to-adept the Hayes proposal and con-
tinue to follow the A. F. Of l.. policy.
Severino, of the Bricklayers, pointed
out that this motion stood for two
contradicting propositions, and made
a plea for a Labor Party. N. Shaffer
also made strong speech for Labor
Party which was enthusiastically re-
ceived The contradictory Smith mo-
ton was voted down; but the machine
feared to press an out and out en-
dcrsement of the Gompers' policy.
The machine steam-rolled a propo-

600 Mexican. The losses occurred
chiefly in the congested section of the
city adjacent to the trading center.

struction of protecting dyke, fol-
lowing the heaviest rain in years.
Foreign firms, located on higher
ground, escaped with slight damage.
The Japanese consulate building is
reported to have been wrecked. Land
slides blocked the railway in several
places, and the bridge connecting the
two parts of the city was washed

MacLaren had planned to fly from

string of pearls and couldn't salts
factorily explain where he had OBJ
tanned them, local police are believed
to have cleared up a $4,000 jewelry
robbery in New York City
A telephone call to Inspector Grant
last Tuesday from a local jewelry
store told of the attempted sale of
the string of pearls. Detectives
out to investigate. 1t didn't look like
much of case in its initial stages.
Campos was found and brought back
to headquarters. He first gave his name
as Peter France, explaining that he had
come into possession of the jewels in
Mexico, Inspector Grant, chief of de-
tectives, said today. Later, under
searching questions, he became nervous,
and when search was suggested, it is
said. he became panicky. Around his
waist, Inspector Grant said. was a f1an-
mel belt in which reposed an additional
batch of jewelry valued at about $50, 600.
Addresses Cause Suspicion.
Next came the clue that started the
detectives to the goal A number of New
York addresses were found on Campos'
person. Detective Thompson was dis
patched to the metropolis. This morning
he reported the jewelry positively iden-
titled as having been stolen on April s

On April 8, Mrs. Stencil returned

sacked by masked bandit. The
servants were all locked in a closet.
AS she entered the room where op-
erations were going on, the bandit

at bay while he made his getaway
Digging i further into the case,
Thompson reported the discovery,
that the wife of Campos was en-
ployed at the home of Mrs. Stencil.
Had Many Jewels.
Among the items police say they
found on Campos' person were the
$4,000 pearl string, an $4,000 dia-
mond, emerald and platinum pendant,
five rings each worth more than
$4,000 and various other articles of
high value.
Campos is being held here for the
New York authorities. Inspector

tives, personally called Inspector
