Court Martial Fails
to Force Retraction
of Coercion Charges

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The at
tempts of the judge advocate in the
court-martial of Col. William Mitchell
to force Mrs. Zachary Lansdowne,
widow of the late commander of the
Shenandoah, to change her testimony
as to the attempts made by Col. Foley
to induce her to testify falsely before
the board that carried on the white
wash investigation of the Shenandoah
disaster, failed.
Instead of retracting her statement,
that Foley had tried to influence her,
she showed that he had called at her
home number of times and tried to
force her to change her opinions. The
judge advocate unable to shake her
in her evidence, tried to confuse her
by telling her that the chief of invest
igations had right to visit and hold
preliminary examination and that
he was perfectly within the naval
code in doing so.
Mrs. Landsowne brought out that
the Shenandoah flight was for the
purpose of advertising and was a Dol.
itical stunt on the part Of the naval
authorities.

Building Trades Bosses
to Resist Shorter Work
Week and Wage Increase

At a one-day conference which the
National Association of Building
Trades Employers held in the Con-
gress Hotel, the building trades en-
ployers from many of the largest
cities in the United States met and
discussed ways and means of resist
ing attempts of building trades work
ers to- obtain an increase in wages.
At this gathering Of employees, many
of whom are bitter open-shoppers, a
resolution was adopted in which it
condemned the 40-hour week of 5
days and declared it would oppose all
attempts on the part of the union
workers to shorten the work-week.
The conference also adopted a reso-
luton it which it urged that the con-
tractors do all in their power to in
terest more of the American youth in
taking up the building trades and laid
plans by means of which they intend
to create a surplus of skilled work
ers and in that manner smash the
unions.
Most of the resolutions introduced
to this convention of building trades
employers was introduced by the open
shop section of the employers in Chi
cago.

LABOR
To HEAR COAL
MINERS STORY
Hold Mass Meeting at
Northwest Hall

Instead of the short struggle that
was expected, it now appears that the
anthracite strike will develop into
a long and very bitter struggle.
At the beginning Of the strike, II was
believed by all, including the strik-
ing miners, that the strike was just
temporary stoppage of work to per-
nit the operators to get rid of the
large stocks OF coal the miners had
dug.
open Mines.
However, with the signal given by
the Wall Street Journal to begin open
ing the mines, instead Of the peace
full wait, it now appears that the
miners will be drawn into direct strug
gles The demand to take the main
tenance men out of the mines is
spreading among the men, and the re-
dictionary officials are becoming un-
easy about it.
The anthracite fields have been 100
per cent organized for some time and
this is a menace to the operators, who
see the growing militancy Of the min
ers and fear that the officials Of the
union, who are friendly to the oper-
ators will be removed and real miiit
ant leaders will be put in their places
The coal operators know that with
the men so we'll organized, they can
not lower the standard Of living of
the miners and are therefore attempt
ing to destroy the morale of the
strikers and make them leave the
union.
Toohey to Speak.
Pat H. Toohey, youthful leader OF
the striking miners, who will speak
Tuesday Nov. "a, at Northwest Hall,
corner North and Western Ayes, at
s D. M, will tell us Of these struggles
of the miners; Alex Reid, secretary
of the Progressive Miners COMMITTEES,
who together with Toohey, served a
prison sentence for their activities
in the strike, will also speak.
VIM. F. Dunno, whose articles are
now appearing in The DAILY WORK
Err on the conditions IN rne strike
zone will give first hand information
of the struggle Of the miners. He is
coming straight from the strike zone

Chang Into Manchuria
Especial to The DAILY workerS


PEklNG, Nov 2o.--What virtually
amounts to unconditional tariff auto
nomy has been forced out Of the lmper-
lst powers by China, according to the
Interpretation Of a plan accepted by
a subcommittee Of the committee on
provisional measures of the customs
conference. Two declarations are to
be part Of the treaty.
The first declaration is that the
other powers recognize China's right
to tariff autonomy and to agree to
remove all restrictions contained in
the existing treaties and agree to
abide by the Chinese national tariff
laws becoming effective on January
1, 1929. The second declaration is
that of China, who agrees to abolish
the internal tax on traffic in goods
between provinces. This also is eff
fective in 1929.
The foreign delegates were compel
led to agree to the two proposals
when the chief Chinese delegate
threatened to resign and break up the
conference.
It seems that Chang Tso-lin has
agreed to remove his troops to Man
churia. General Feng is in control
and the beaten troops of Chang are
retreating &om shantung and south

CARPENTERS 81
BEGINS BATTLE
FOR CONDITIONS
Demands 5-Day Week
and $1.75 an Hour

Chicago carpenters are preparing
for an earnest effort to reduce the
hours and raise the pay. One of the
biggest locals, No. 81, with 1000 mem.
bers, Thursday night formulated its
policy for the new agreement which
must be put forth when the old con-
tract expires in June.
And the terms were these: That
the union demand of the bosses a
raise from S1.371s cents an hour to
$1.75 an hour; and that the 44-hour
week be reduced to 40 hours on the
basis Of fve-day week.
Lost Time and Tools.
In addition, the local formed de-
mands that the bosses pay for travel
ing time on long distance jobs to
suburban towns, and that the bosses
be held responsible for tools left on
jobs and provide a safe place for
them or pay fifty per cent of the
loss when stolen.
The meeting was enthusiastic and
in progressive mood all thru. The
sentiment for putting up a fight for
these demands results from last sum-
mer's struggle by the progressive
group against the compromise and
pussy footing policy of Jensen for a
policy of class struggle for better
conditions.
Goes to Other Locals.
Several visitors were present from
other locals, among others John
Bimms, the vice president of the
District Council. The proposals
adopted by Local 81, will now I'M
doubtedly be taken up in the other
locals, ISL, 416, No. 1, so and others,
for discussion and action.
All proposals will be given to the
arbitration board of the district coun-
Gil, which will be largely guided by
the action of the locals in its negotia.
