WASHINGTON. D. G., Dec. 28.
A bill to crdate commission to
study, inspect and report upon the
government and conditions IN the Is
land Of Porto Rico,1 has been intro
duced in the House Of Representatives
hy Felix Cordova Davila, resident
commissioner Of Porto Rico.
The A. F. Of L. has repeatedly
called for such action bat resolved
no aid from the commissioner. Con-
ditions in the island are growing
worse, and labor's position is gaining
new adherents because Of the peoples
widespread poverty and the policy Of
corporations to drain the island Of
its wealth.
Under the Jones organic act, passed
by Congress, each corporation is
limited 70 the ownership Of 500 acres
Of land This provision is ignored
Thousands Of acres have been seized
by the supar and tobacco trusts and
the people are herded in towns and

DA|T|gN UMBNISTS
FACE HARD CONTEST

LONDON, England, Dec. 25.Fol-
lowing 4 futile resistance against the
miners lockout, trade unioists face q
legislative onslaught against trade
union and social laws. s
The Conservative government, back
ed by Premier Baldwin, is headed by
large employing interests that con-
stitute the Federation Of British In
dnstries. These employers declare
that ewages must come down in order
that industry may adjust itself to the
new postwar conditions.
There never was bigger delusion
that the view Of our opponents that
the industrial struggles Of the past
year have placed the workers in such
"a position that reaction may safely 60
ahead with its political attacks" says
the Daily Herald, owned by organized
labor.
1T must be made cleer that the
workers Of Britain will not submit to
any curtailment on their own behalf or
in support Of workers in other in
dnstries and that they win not toler-
ate any new interference with the
powers Of their trade unions or Of our
members"
With the work day Of the miners
heightened and wages reduced, the
coal owners favor @peace in industry"

3 PLEAD GUILTY
In MURDER CASE
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Unmindful Of
a warning that they were giving the
court the power to sentence them to
death, two men and a, woman plead
ed guilty to murder today. They
were three of the five persons indict-
ed for murder in connection with the
slay ing of Albert Nusbaum so year
old contractor. The state charges
that Mrs. Eliza Nusbaum, 5S, and a
grandmother, plotted with four 9TH
ers, including John Winn, an ex-
convict, to kill her husband SO that
she could marry Winn.
Those pleading guilty today were
Mrs Delilah Martin, in whose home
Nusbaum's body was concealed after
he had been lured into an automo.
bile and beaten to death, and Ed
ward Goff and Marion Stringham,
who have declared that Winn killed
Nusbaum.
Winn in an alleged confession, ac~
cused Goff of the actual killing. Sen
fencing of the three was deferred
until after the trial of Mrs. Nusbaum
and Winn, set for February 8. Mrs.
Nusbaum was denied a motion for a
separate trial. Thereupon counsel for
the three defendants withdrew pre-
v,ous pleas of not guilty and entered
pleas of guilty. The three who
pleaded guilty are expected to testi-
fy for the state.
Mrs. Nusbaum appeared in court
garbed in deep mourning.

Miners and Operators
to Meet Again Today
In Plan to End Strike
tBy Dispatch a. P. wirel

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 25.-
Anthracite miners and operators
gathered here tonight for the joint
conference to be held tomorrow
afternoon when another attempt will
be made to agree on plan that
will end the long coal strike The
strike tomorrow enters on its
twenty second week.
The plan on which tomorrows
conference was called is that offered
by e. j. Lynett, publisher of the
Scranton Times. This plan was ac-
cepted in principle by the miners
as basis for negotiations but was
rejected by the operators as funda-
nently unsound. AS it takes unan-
imously vote in conference to adopt
any plan, it would appear that the
Lynett plan is doomed to go into
discard also.
