WIDOW CHARGES
NAVAL OFFICERS
URGED PERJURY
Shows Up Tricks of Viii
bur Agents
tspeolaI to The oaiIy WORKED

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia new
sensation was sprung in today's ses-
sion of the court martial trial of Col
William Mitchell, charged with violat-
ing the rules of military discipline for.
criticizing his superior officials. Mrs.
Zachary Landsdowne, widow of the
commander of the Inflated Shenen-
doah, the dirigible that was sent on
political tour of the state fairs by
the government, and collapsed in a
storm with heavy loss of life, was on
the stand most of the morning.
She dropped a bombshell into the
camp when she accused high navy Of
ficials of trying to induce her to give
false testimony at the naval court of
inquiry on the Shenandoah disaster
in which her husband lost his life.
Advocated Perjury.
The naval officers tried to get her
to commit perjury before the board
Of inquiry, and one of them, Capt.
John Foley, was judge advocate of
the board of inquiry. Mrs. Lands
downe testified that Mrs. George w.
Steele, Jr., wife of the commandant
at Lakehurst, visited her and gave
her a letter from Capt. Foley asking
her to lie about the attitude of her
husband toward the fight of the
Shenandoah.
The other officer who called was
Capt. Walter B. Gherardi, aid to sec
rotary of the navy, Wilbur, who tried
to persuade her not to blame Wilbur
and the political aspirations Of the
Coolidge administration for the Ill
fated fight over county fairs so that
the farmers of the middle west could
be made to realize something OF the
naval program of the government.
The case is being intently watched
by agents of airplane manufacturers
as we'll as those who represent the
steel trust, manufacturing armour
plate for battleships.

GENNA GUNNER
Get FOURTEEN
YEARS IN JAIL
Police "Shake-up" Is
Still-Born

Albert Anselmi and John Scahce
the two Genna men, who were tried
for the murder Of two Chicago police
men and during whose trial charges
we're made that over 300 Chicago
policemen were on the payroll Of the
Genna gang of bootleggers, have been
found guilty and sentenced to IA
years in jail by the Jurors, who sat
at the trial.
Verdict Compromise
The verdict came after many hours
Of battling in which the various tech
rical points raised by the defense at
torneys as to the right Of citizens to
resist arrest were raised. A number
of the jurors stood out for acquittal,
others demanded a verdict Of guilty
Of manslaughter and others demand
ed the death penalty. The verdict is
looked upon as compromise.
The incident which threatened to
expose the whole police force as part
Of the Genna machinery in selling
booze in Cook county has been gloss
ed over by the police and the state
prosecutors.
Police Had Evidence"
During tilt between the attorney
for the Genna gunner and the chief
Of police, it was brought out that the
police had taken the payroll list for
three months during a raid, they had
staged on the Italian-American Club
headquarters on West Taylor Street,
within a few hours of the Genna muir
der. The attorney showed that If the
police want to "clean up" they had
more evidence then he had.
When the chief Of police attempted
to "whitewash" the raiders and him
self by stating that the raid was in
search Of gallons Of moonshine and
shotguns, the attorney wanted to
know why they ripped of wallpaper,
coverings of chairs and wrecked a
table and showed the the list he had
was one that the raiding squad had
overlooked in their eagerness to des-
troy evidence" that might show the
efficient" servants of Flaw and
order" as employees of one of the
worst gang in the city.
Shakeups Never Come.
The shakeups promised by the pol
ice department and heralded by the
capitalist press have not taken place
as yet. A few patrolman who received
the "ten-spots" may be effected, but
it is doubtful if the big guns will
ever be called to account for their
$100-a-month salaries" from the
Gennas.

PURCELL URGES
UNITYFTO keep
EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Workers Must Unite to
Fight Bosses

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Albert A.
Purcell, noted British trade union
leader, who is to speak at the two
meetings at Central Opera House and
the New Star Casino on Tuesday,
Nov. II points out the fact that the
issue of the eight-hour day is vitality
bound up with the question Of inter-
national trade union unity. In a state
ment released today by the trade
union committee for organizing the
Purcell meetings, Mr.. Purcell reviews
the situation in various countries of
the world, and points out the neces-
sity for trade union unity If the
eight-hour day is to be maintained
His comment is in part as follows:
What is the situation as regards
the hours Of labor turnout the world
today? In Germany, as a result Of the
Dawes plan, the eight-hours day is
dead; the normal working day is nine
to ten hours and more. In France the
legal recognition of the eight-hour
day is little better than a mockery.
In Czecho-Slovakia the trade unions
complain that the employers evade
the eight-hour day by a skillful syst
EN- of overtime and so all over Eur
ope. We need no reminding, | hope,
Of the long hours worked in India,
China, and other eastern countries.
Here in England the argument Of
longer hours on the continent is being
openly used by the employers, notably
in mining and engineering as a pre-
text for lengthening the working day.
Russia Has s-Hour Day
ION the other hand, there is one
country in the world where the eight
hour day land the six-hour day in GER
tain trades) is reality - workers
Russia. If we are serious in our will
to maintain the S-hour day, then sure
ly unity with the Russian trade unions
is worth while for that object alone.
Indeed, it is more than just worth
while; 1t is absolutely essential
Taken all round, then, the S.hour
day is fine International rallying cry
for the workers of the world. What
we want is, worldwide agitation;
but for that to succeed we surely
must have international unity"
Committee Nets Sunday.
The next conference of the trade
union committee before the big Pur-
cell meetings will be held on Sunday
afternoon, Nov. Is, at D. M, at
Beethoven Hall, 210 e. Fifth st. In
terested trade unions are sendlng
delegates to this conference.

"Readlustments" Promised.
When signing the contracts with
the bosses on May l, 1925, the Off
cials promised the employers that if
conditions necessitated a change in
rate of production or wages, that each
plant. that found itself unable to meet
its competition, could appeal to the
union and that "readjustment" con-
ference would be held and attempts
would be made to "readjust" the con-
ditions in the plant.
The bosses are now taking advant-
age of that promise, which they know
the union officials will break their
necks to keep, and are appealing for
a reimbursement" conference.
Shall We Lose Victory?
The strike of the workers of the
International Tailoring company was
strike against wage cuts. Tho the
bosses were forced to grant the de-
mands of the workers following the
mass demonstrations in front of their
plants that we're so tied up, that they
were unable to fill the smallest por-
ton of the orders that they had on
hand, yet in these REIMBURSEMENT"
conferences of the union heads and
the bosses, this victory of the work
ers will be negated by the granting
of wage cuts and the sacrificing of
other conditions which the strikers
won, not only for themselves but also
for other shops.
There is but one course open to
those of us who are in the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America,
and that is we must take advantage
of this victory which W. have won
and organize ourselves against wage
cuts and "readjustments" that the
bosses will attempt in their efforts to
make us return to the standards of
1910.
We have learned from this strike
that we can fight, and that our off,
cials cannot fight and don't want to
fight, and that it's up to us who have
won the fight, to protect our inter
ests.

Company Does Not Sign Contract.
When the contract which the union
had made with the bosses expired on
May 1, 1925, a number of the bosses
signed up. The bosses of the Inter-
national Tailoring Co. and the J. l..
Taylor Co. refused to sign up a re-
newal of the old contract. They did
not fatty refuse, but found excuse
after excuse to drag out the question
Of the renewal of the contract.
In the meantime, the bosses of the
International got in touch with the
scabby United Garment Workers of
America, which is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, signed
a contract with them and then notified
the members of the Amalgamated that
they no longer could employ them as
contract had been signed with the
heads of the United Garment Work
ers' Union and not with the Amalga-
mated.
Officials Try RuIIdozine Members.
In face of this lockout, the officials
of the Amalgamated were forced to
follow the steps that had been out
lined by members of the shop to strike
on May l, which would have tied up
the plant in the very midst of the busy
season and thus forced the company
to renew the contract. The officials
have long ago forgotten the use Of the
strike weapon and when we insisted
on strike they babied us along tell
ing us that an agreement would be
signed the next week." "the next day."

The members of the Amalgamated

on June q, 1925, and the officials were
forced to sanction it. Members of the
Amalgamated that had been working
in other shops, but were out of work

order to discourage mass picketing on
the part of the strikers and those who
were aiding the strikers, the officials
