Society Is Teid

Members OF the American Society
of international Law today were called
on by Eldon r. James of Harvard
University to do the country prac,
tical service by helping to cause the
American public to think straightly
concerning confiscation as practiced
by the nations of the world. Mr..
James appeal came during the dis.
cussion of paper on "Confiscation''
by Philip c. Jessup, lecturer on inter.
national law at Columbia University,
which featured the morning session
of the society's twenty-first annual
Hotel.
THE question of Il nations right to
confscate property without compen.
sation is one of the most difficult
which confronts international law
years." he said II think your society
should do all that is possible to let
the public know there are no open and
shut rules concerning 1t and that a
great deal of tolerance should be in.
voked before arraigning a nation for
it's actions"
Edwin NJ. Borchard, professor of
law, Yale University, who presided
at today's session, reminded that
America must not try to lay down
regulations for all of the nations of
the world to follow. He pointed out
that room must be left for a play of
local angles. He declared that even in
the United States laws on GER
tain subjects widely differ in the North
and South sections of the country.

Concerned Over Cancellation.

The bureaus outstanding recon-
mendation that the existing annual
running contracts for printing be can
celed Immediately is the one that is
giving the Commissioners the greatest
concern. There is very little work
now in the hands of the two printers

tracts for the current fiscal year, it
was said, and the cancellation might
cause a delay in obtaining supplies
needed by the various department
heads.
Cancellation of the contracts was
recommended by the Efficiency Bureau
because it found that the District has
been paying more for it's work than
it would have been charged had the
work been done at the Government
Printing Office and because the con-
tractors had failed to comply with the

BR|TONS OPPOSE
GENERAL STRIKE
Workers Plan to BaIk Radi-
Gals Plans in Fight Against
Proposed Bill.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 29.-Representa-
tives OF 100000 British workers,
meeting here today, decided not to be
stampeded by extremists into resort
ing to a general strike with the object
of forcing withdrawal of the govern
ment's trade union bill.
The meeting was special confer
ence of the executive committees of
the unions affiliated with the Trade
Union Congress, and was called to
consider the best method of opposing
the governments bill.
This measure would make it Illegal
to call strike calculated to coerce the
government or intimidate the COM
munity, and was framed as a result
of the general strike called a year ago
in support of the striking miners.
The general stoppage tied up the coun-
try nine days before the strike col
lapsed.
While not directly represented at
|1oMy,s lneetings the British C'ofT1-
munist party and the extreme Left
Wing Trade Unionists have been max
ing a determined effort to persuade
| organized labor to declare a general
strike against the bill. 1t was voted
by large majority not to allow an
amendment to be. moved instructing
the general Trade Union Council to
that effect.
In addition to making coercive
strike illegal, the governments bill,
| introduced in the House of Commons
on April 4, would make picketing un-
| lawful. Civil servants would be for
hidden to become members of trade
unions or other organizations except
those comprised solely of civil serv.
ants and having non-political objects.
Trade unions would be required to

arate from other funds. Violations
Of the various clauses would be pun

that it was obviously intended to kill

excursions of class war" he had ever
known.

Farm
EmplOye COnfesses
killing Companion

Alexandria, Mimi. Aug. 9.-[P)-
Eddie Esala, l9-year-old farm hand
today confessed to County Attorney
K. 5. Thornton that he stabbed
Arthur Sundberg, 20, also q farm
hand, to death as the latter silent in
an automobile near here early Satur-
day.
Thornton said that Esala's signed
confession declared that robbery was
the motive and that he obtained $ll
from Sundberg's pocket. He added,
however, that Sundberg was known
to have carried about $500 last week.
According to the alleged confes-
sion, the Staying followed a drink
ing party. Esala told the county
attorney that he and Sundberg had
driven into the country and had
stopped ut the roadside to rest whe n
Sundberg went to sleep.
The confession says that Esala had
started to rifle Sundberg's pockets
and had removed some money and q
knife when the sleeper began to stir
Fearful that Sundberg would awake,
the statement said. Esala stabbed him
in the neck with his own knife and
slashed him over the head several
times before fleeing.
Esala was arrested as a material
witness after the body was found
He maintained he had no knowledge
Of the crime until he broke down to-
day under questioning. A charge of
first degree murder probably will be
filed against him this week, the coun.
ty attorney said.
Neither Esala nor Sundberg was
married. The latter was the sole
support Of his widowed mother.

Plans to Prevent
Erosion of River
Banks Discussed

Plans for preventing erosion of its
banks by the Missouri river were
discussed yesterday at a conference
in which Senator Lynn j. Frazier
Governor A. G. Sorlie, State Engi-
neer Robert f. Kennedy and men,
bers of Bismarck service clubs took
part.
c. L. Kicker, a consulting engi-
neer of Washington, D. c., and a
friend Of Senator Frazier, proposed
to control the action Of the current
by erecting a series Of structures in
the river, similar in princip al to the
rudder on steamship.
By changing the angle of the rud-
ders the water in the river could be
DETECTED to either side as necessitv
dictated, Riker said. and explained
that he had adopted similar plan
for controlling erosion along the
banks of river in South America.
Interest in controlling the stream
has been sharpened by the fact that
heavy loss has been caused by the
washing away Of fields along the
river banks south OF Bismarck. One
farmer lost a corn field Of 22O acres
last week, it was reported at the con-
ference. and the total acreage Of
farm land washed away this year was
