MANVILLE COTTON
 MILLS SHUT DOWN
Strike, Declared Last Night, Be- comes Effective This Morning
ABOUT 1,7OO ARE AFFECTED
Trouble Arises Over Hiring of Non Union Loom Fixers to Replace Others - Peaceful Picketing Is Plan of Strikers.

Manville, R. l., Aug. 19 P-The cotton mills of the Manville Jenckes company here were shut down today as a result of a strike declared last night by workers. Only a few of the 1,70O workers normally emplov- ed at the mill appeared at the gates 1 this morning and when other en- ployes failed to report they did not go in.
 The union had protested against the hiring Of non-union loom fixers, and a report that the working week was to be heightened. Company officials have denied the latter re- port.
 Trouble Began August 10
 The trouble began on Aug. 10 when four non-union loom fiXers were hired to fill vacancies. The union loom fiXers requested a con- ference with the announced inten- ton of asking for preference for union men. Supt. Eugene C. Ham, lett declined to confer with a com mittee but offered to meet a single delegate. The loom fixers then walked out. The spoolers, carders and markers followed on Tuesday of this week.
 Deny 51 Hour Week Plan
 A report that the 48 hour week now in force was to be discarded for a 54 hour week was spread when workers of one of the depart ments said that they had been in- formed by an oHerseer that they were to work the longer week.
 Officers of the Rhode Island mounted police and deputy sheriffs were on the scene today to maintain order but there have been no dis turbances. The strikers say they intend to establish a system of peaceful picketing.
 President Thomas McMahon of the United Textile Workers of America addressed the mass meet ing last night with a plea for unity and urged the strikers to hold out at all costs against what he asserted was the attempt of the company to put the mill on 54 hour week schedule, instead of the 4S hour schedule which has been prevailing.
 Senator John H. Powers of Cum berland, Vt, an official of the U. T. w, told the meeting that Gen eral Agent Frederick c. Hall of the -Jenckes Company was in Manville Ito break the union"
 Councilman John Donohue of Cumberland at a meeting of the Citizens Forum in Woonsocket last night, discussed the strike and said it was caused because Supt. Eugene Hamlet of the mills refused to re- ceive a grievance committee Of workers.
 The company claims that the 4S hour week was not to be abolished, that an overseer of the spinning de- partment notified the workers they were to work 54 hours until changes of machinery were made in the mill and that the workers misunder- stood" he said.
 "A messenger was sent to the spinners telling them to come into the mill under their old hours. Last night the strikers were asked of they wanted to return to work under the conditions which were laid down by the employers of the mill, and they everyone refused"

I RIAL OF WAN
IS.RESU|N|ED

District Attorney Peyton Gordon
having recovered from fainting
spell he suffered at his apartment
in the Wardman Park Inn last
Thursday. which for the time being
prevented the trial OF Ziang Sun
Wan. the young Chinese, accused
of murder in the FIRST degree, from
proceeding, returned to his task to
day in Criminal Court, No. !, Jus
tice Hoehling presiding.
Wan is on trial for his life for
the third time being charged with
the death in January, 1919, Of DR.
Ben Sen WI, of the Chinese Edu
cationaI Mission, & 1923 Kalorama
Rd. N. w.
Still experiencing considerable
difficulty in speaking, Major Cor
don's assistant, George d. HOrning
jr., took over the REORGANIZATION
OF defense witnesses.
A. L. Creecy, companion OF the
late Major Pullman, was put on the
stand by Attorney Wilton ]. Lam
bert, counsel for Wan, to contra
dict Government witnesses concern
ing the physical objects in the
death house at the time of the

.JUVEN|LECOURT
BILL SHELVED

Chances for juvenile court legis.
lation for the District at the present
session Of Congress have gone a
glimmering.
Local factions have been unable
to agree upon measure, and the
District Commissioners will not
make their final recommendations
to the House and Senate District
committees until next December, II
was made clear today at a hearing
before the House Judiciary subcom-
mittee.
Bitterness between the local inter
ests which are contending for new
legislation was marked today. Mrs.
e. r. Kalmbach, OF the Congress
of Parent-Teacher Associations, APP
peared before the subcommittee to
denounce the Mcleod compromise
bill. which abolishes the present jul
venile court and establishes two
judges in children's court.
Judge w. H. DeLacy sponsored
the Mcleod bill, and engaged in
several lively tits with Representa-
tive Gilbert Of Kentucky. Repre-
sentative Mcleod declared he did
not know what was in his own bill,
having introduced it at. the request
of local interests, including the
Board of Trade.
The Congress Of Parent Teacher
Associations originally favored the
Underhill bill, which gives the
present juvenile court larger juris-
diction. Mrs. KaImbach today,
however, declared the congress
wanted all Juvenile court 1egisla-
ton to be postponed until next De-
cember, when the District Commis.
sioners will present another com.
promise measure.

Talks Of Old Days
The van stood at the door and
Billy was anxious to talk of his
favorite vocation and his days In
the prize ring, for Billy has also
been a prizefighter and an actor.
He harked back to the days when
the baseball park was located at
Sixteenth and S Streets Northwest,
and displayed broken finger or
two to show what it meant to
catch without a glove. Those were
the days when Billy Sunday and
Pop" Arson were Babe Ruths to
grandpa, and a mask was unheard
of.
He told of Delaney, the first
man to pitch curve bail, and Of
old Paul Hines, the fence-buster

in which the Chief Executive was
asked If he thought it fair for the
Government to spend so much on
training camps for men, without
doing anything to give the girls
a chance to learn to swim and ride
and hike and generally do those
things which would rebound to their
physical welfare and make them
filter for the duties of citizenship.
Since publication of the Brooklyn
girls letter, the plan has been
Endorsed, through The Washington
Times and other Hearst newspapers
throughout the country, by leaders
of women's organizations, as well as
by number of members of Con-
gress.
In washington, representatives OF
the War Mothers of America, the
American Legion Auxiliary and sim.
liar organizations have indicated
support for the plan.

The average amount of the indi-
