Judge Louis Brodsky's efforts to
serve as mediator yesterday between
the right and left wing groups in the
international Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union and the international Fur
Workers Union made no Roadway be-
cause Of the right wings refusal to
appear and give information as to
whether or not they hired gangsters
as the judge had charged
Would Stop Gangsters.
On Wednesday, when Judge Brod-
sky freed IL furriers who had been
arrested without cause by members of
the industrial squad, he stated en-
phatically that the use of gangsters in
this internal union controversy must
stop; and he asked that representa-
tives of both factions should appear
yesterday morning to discuss the sit
uation with him.
Isador Shapiro, chairman of the
Furriers' Joint Board appeared for
the Unity Committee, composed of

FURRIER REACT|ONARIES Reject
BRODSKY'S OFFER OF MEDIATION

Garment Workers Union, and the

Markewich, an attorney for the Amer

ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union right wing officials, refused to
confer with any lefts and applied in
sulting terms to them.
Proves Use of Thugs.
According to Ben Gold, general
manager of the Furriers' Joint Board,
this is just further proof of the fact
that the right wing is employing
gangsters as the lefts have repeatedly
charged.
SEEING that we were perfectly will
ing to appear, and to give any infor-
nation desired said Gold, "the right
wing is afraid to join the conference.
"From the fact that their lawyer
has repeatedly defended gangsters ar
rested for attacking our workers, we
know that they do employ profess
sional sluggers. Their fear of meet
ing us with Judge Brodsky yester-
day is simply additional evidence
against them"

ratified by the workers in the union,
the lawyers for the manufacturers,
thru the injunction, hope to prevent
the further picketing of shops which
the Joint Board has called on strike,
for refusing to recognize its business
agents.
Thirty active members, officials
of the Joint Board, business agents,
and shop chairman are named in the
injunction procured from the courts
with the connivance of the right wing
official machine. The court order
prohibits the strikers from calling
the name 'scab,' picketing in front
of or adjacent to buildings, inducing
employees to breach and repudiate the
agreement of the international

U. S. Sold Arms
To Diaz Long
Time Ago
Protest Slaughter Of Non
COmbatants by Americans

WASHINGTON, March 24.-When
the State Department was most loudly
PrOclaiming its impartiality in Mica
rauga, it was tacitly selling arms and
ammunition to the Diaz regime.
Announcement of Secretary KEEL
logs attempt to maintain law and
order" by providing Diaz with arms
was made last night long after feel
ing on the Nicaraguan situation had
died down in this country. The War
Department had sold the Diaz Gov
eminent 5000 Krag rifles, 200 Brown
ing machine guns and 100000 rounds
Of ammunition. The munitions were
shipped to Managua, the Nicaraguan
capital, on February 25th.
ITO Maintain Order"
The arms were sent to the Diaz
regime "to maintain law and order in
the country and suppress revolution
airy activities, which not only threaten
the Constitutional Government of Mic
aragua, but also the lives and prop
erty Of Americans and other foreign
ers," according to the State Depart
ment.
Protest Killing of Non-C ombatants
WASHINGTON, March "a (FP)-
Formal protest has been delivered by
President Sacasa of the Liberal Gov
eminent of Nicaragua to Secretary
of State Kellogg against the killing
Of Nicaraguan non-combatants and
the burning of several blocks of build
ings in the center of the town of Chi
nandega by two American aviators,
Major Bill Brooks and Major Lee Ma
son, employed by the Diaz forces
which are backed by Kellogg. The avi-
ators burned the town during recent
fighting there.
The United States cancelled the cit
izenship of aviators who served the
French in the war against the Riffs
in Morocco, Foreign Minister Espin
OLA declared in his protest to the
State Department He then says:
"My government which in the pub
lie opinion Of the continent, counting
that of the great democracy of the
United States, is the constitutional
government of Nicaragua, respectfully
but earnestly requests of yours in the
name of justice, to proceed in this case
as in the case of Morocco, by with
drawing the privileges of American
citizenship from those who for no rea-'
son at all except that of mercenary
profit have come to perform such acts
against weak nation that is not at

Washington, Feb. 16.-Recognizing
the principle that politics is the
science of exigencies" Members of
Congress are doing their best to sal
wage pet measures from the present
legislative tangle. The Senate has
already embarked on night sessions
as means of reducing the congestion
fore adjournment. There is no Sc
cret made of the fact that many legis-
lators' political careers depend upon
Developments between now and March
4. The Senate and House leaders
have notified their friends in social
circles that. social engagements are
not interesting to them while politi-
cal factors dominate at the Capitol.
1t is truly remarkable how much may
be accomplished when Congress is
hard-pressed for time and fearful OF
consequences back home.
Unquestionably the most absorbing
topic in Washington is the attitude of
the President in regard to the farm
relief legislation. 1t is a matter
which transcends party lines and has
direct bearing upon the 1928 presi-
Dental campaign. The comments in
official circles are divergent. Some
say that the President will uphold his
previous position and veto the Nc
Nary-Haugen farm relief bill; others
say he will sign it, believing that it
will result in cOurt test as to the
constitutionality of the legislation.
Belief exists that Congress has passed
the responsibility for farm legislation
to the President, knowing full well it
will influence his plans for renomin-
alton. 1t is probable that the con-
ferees on this bill may reach COM
promise, which would lessen the po-
litical tension.
The proposal of the President to
the four principal world powers for a
naval arms limit has brought inter-

FERNDALE NURSERY
PLANS EXPANSION
May Build Large Greenhouse and
Office Building This Summer.
-Harald Thomson, Albert Lea
Florist Likely to Join Askoy
Industry.

The Ferndale Nursery at Askov has
been making wonderful strides during
the past three years under the able
leadership of L. Mosbak and his son,
Hans. They have more than doubled
their output each of these years and
have of course also increased their
acreage and production accordingly.
The business has in fact grown to
the point where additional manage
ment is required, and Mr.. Mosbak
has been on the lookout for some
time for a suitable man to assist him.
The desired man is HaraId Thomson
of Albert Lea, and judging from the
present outlook it is very likely that
AN agreement will be reached at an
early date.
Mr.. Thomson has many years of
nursery experience and is an expert
in greenhouse production. For the
past eight years he has been man
| ager of the Lakeshore Greenhouse at
| Albert Lea, and has established an
excellent reputation there, not only
as a greenhouse expert but also as
manager of their entire business. Mr.
| Thomson has visited the Ferndale
Nursery on several occasions and
possibility of becoming interested in
same. He was here again Saturday
and Sunday to talk the matter over
| and final arrangements are practical
ly agreed upon.
While here Mr. Thomson stated that
one essential to the success of the
| nursery business was the building of
some greenhouses as we'll as a COM
| bination office and salesroom. He is
very particular in securing a suitable
| location for such buildings, stressing
| the fact that same must be easily
accessible from the business section
of town, and should also add to the
/ beauty of the community. The To-
cation favored most by Mr.. Thomson
| is the small tract of land just east
of the church on which the old
| church barn is now located. If ar
rangements could be made to move
the church barn over to the north
/
of land sold to the nursery, then MIR.
Thomson believed that they could
make a fine entrance to the nursery
by locating their office and green
houses there. 1t would also greatly
beautify the landscape adjoining the
| church.
| Mr.. Thomson is already known to
quite number of Askov people who
will be very pleased to learn of his
possible coming here. He will be
remembered by those who attended
the big D. B. S. picnic in the park
last summer when he spoke upon the
immigration question and offered
,resolution against the new immigra-
ton law to take effect in July
If the proposed plans materialize
the nursery will employ from IL to
IS men during the summer months
and approximately during the win
ter months.
