UNION RESUBM|TS
PLEA TO COOLIDGE
Protests Discharge of Seven
MaChinists From Govern
ment Printing Office.

Protest of District No. ~, Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, against
the discharge of seven machinists on
September ) at the Government Print
ing Office, has been resubmitted to
President Coolidge by \. p. Alias,
president of the association
In a statement issued by the ma
chinists concerning the matter, it was
said that the case had been pending
before the joint committee on printing
of Congress. which in the hurry Of the
closing days of Congress tabled the
complaint on the ground that a COM
mittee alleged to have represented the
machinists employed at the Government
Printing Office had called upon the
chairman and advised him that the men
employed had no complaint TO make
and that no one had been authorized
TO register protest against the dis
charge"
New Principle Of Law.
1t Is rather new principle of
law said Mr.. Alias, that a dis
charged employe, no matter how com
IN the event that the employee who
takes his place, no matter how in
competent, is willing to state that
the discharge was perfectly satisfac-
tory to him. We are rather sur
prised at the possibility of otherwise
competent attorneys reaching such
conclusions. The facts appear to be
however, that this alleged shop COM
mittee had not been authorized to
represent the men in the shop as a
result of any meeting, but are
charged with having called upon
Senator Moses, chairman of the joint
committee on printing, at the in
stance of the foreman against whom
our formal charges had been made.
Now that the executive branch of
the Government has launched upon a
program of gradually reducing the
working forces, 1t is imperative that
all employees be assured that reten-
ton in the service will be strictly in
accordance with their merits and
worth as employees, and that any
tendency on the part of foremen who
are called upon to recommend dis
charges under this program to in
dulge in discrimination and personal
favoritism will promptly be checke
by the White House. We therefore
look with confidence to President
Coolidge to take a strong position in
this matter in view of his announced
policy of reducing the working forces
of the Federal service"

CHICAGO. March 2S.-A new fight
to free William D. Shepherd, foster
father of William Nelson McClintock,
youthful millionaire, from Jail where
he is held charged with McClintock' s
murder, was started by his attorneys
today. At the same time Municipal
Judge Harry Olson. who started the
investigation of McClintocks death,
reported he had received threats that
he would be attacked unless he ceased
his activities.
William Scott Stewart, Shepherd s
attorney, presented two affidavlts to
Chief Justice Jacob Hopkins of the
Criminal Court, charging that the en-
tire investigation had been framed"
Decision in the case was put over un-
til Tuesday. In one affidavit made by
himself Stewart charged that the al
legged confession obtained from
Charles Faiman, indicted with Shep-
herd and who said Shepherd had of
fered him 100000 for typhoid germs
and general information about germ
innoculation, had been obtained only
after threats had been made to pros
ecute Faiman for the death of a
woman at the National School of Sci
ences, conducted by him, following
an operation performed illegally.
Shepherd Makes Afidavit.
The second affidavit was from
Shepherd himself and asserted he had
never seen or heard of Faiman prior
to the inquest hearing into McClin-
tock's death. The first affidavit set
forth that, according to Earl Clark.
formerly an agent for Faiman's
school, a woman was taken to the
school and an operation performed
by Faiman from which she died, after
which her body was turned over to
the school,
1t also asserted that Faiman had
been promised immunity from prose-
cution by assistant States attorneys
and that his school would not be in
terfered with. Mr.. Stewart further
asserted he would be able to pro-
duce witnesses VINO would testify
F'aiman or DR.. George Fosberg,
another witness who testified against
Shepherd, could not be believed under
oath. One of the witnesses, he said,
would be the mayor of Cedar Rapids.
Iowa.
Meanwhile chemists from the cor
oner's office are busy on an autopsy
of the bodies of DR.. Oscar Olson,
brother of Judge Olson, who died
three years ago, and of Mrs Emily
McClintock, young McClintock' $
mother, whose death occurred Is
years ago. Their bodies have been
eXhumed for examination at the re-
quest of Judge Olson, who has eX-
pressed doubt that their deaths oc-
