collaboration policy of the machine,

granted--the convention merely rein

to the locals to grant them full mem
bership privileges or not as they see
fit.
Battle over Amnesty.
The report Of the committee on the
question Of amnesty, made by Amdur
and Antonini, was cheap and unsuc-
cessful attempt to evade the whole
issue of political offenses in the union
-one of the biggest issues in this
convention and before the member
ship.
The report stated that the commit
tee recognized no difference, between
the members expelled during the in
ternal struggle and other offenders,
but Hyman tore this view to shreads
with some Of the finest satire heard
at the convention.
HICKMAN, whose services to the
machine were rewarded with a vice
presidency, tried to defend the COM
mittee report by reading q leaflet
denouncing the machine as a sample
of left wing propaganda, but only sue
ceeded in making matters worse.
Offer Proof Of Ganssterlsm.
The Sigmanites paid dearly for
their hypocritical handling of the am
nesty issue, for no sooner had Hoch-
man petered out than Goretzky was
on his feet displaying a collection OF
documents, none of which was chal-
lenged, offering to prove that the ma
chine had hired gangsters, paid them
thirteen hundred dollars and procured
the beating up of members Of the
union.
Rubinstein Of Local was also on
the floor throwing a challenge to Sig
man which the latter did not care to
accept. The machine cannot fight on
this issue. 1t can only sit and wait
for the storm to blow over and hope
for the best.

portant questions which will be held

left and right will be chosen, each
side selecting its representatives. The
left wingers are saying already that
the referendum win give them con-
troll of the next convention.
A number of internal reforms have
been authorized by the convention,
notably the change in the mode of re.
presentation to the New York Joint
board, but other important measures
such as the shop delegate system
were delayed and sabotaged by the
machine until a discussion Of It was
possible only in the closing hours of
the session.
In spite of the rush of business on

 Just a rehash of the alibi," Mir. Roberts said as quoted by the New York Tribune.
 The Times says that its interview with Doheny has led to the revela- ton that measures for peace in the Pacific were not contemplated in President Harding's original plan for the arms conference. but that they were included after an independent invitation by Great Britain. Hard lng's invitation to the powers for d conference armament on limitation was on the cables at the same lime as Great Brltain's proposal for a conference of questions affecting the far east and the Pacific.
 Harding was about to take a trip on the Maynower when the British proposal arrived, the Times says. and Immediately approved and amended an invitation to the powers.

 "At a meeting in thn office Of former Attorney General WiClIor- sham, it developed that thp per contago of exhibition of films in Connecticut was but 1.61 per cent of production. Some of tho pro duccrs were decidedly in favor Of withdrawing from the Conn"ct'cut field, and a canvass of the rom panies producing motion pictures showed that Connecticut waS not such a profitable field that th" rro- ducors would be justified in sub hitting themselves to embarrass- ment or being harrassol.

 Curious people watched us get out of the wagon. Mrs. McGrail and the policemen hurried us into the station, where she bought the tick cts.
 For 10 minutes I ran the gamut of shame and humiliation and deg radiation. Everyone in the station walked past us, craning his neck to see the two women in charge of the officers.
 Erows went up and lips curIed in Sneers. I dropped my head and looked at the floor, but could feel eyes burning into my back.
