The attempt on Orlov's life oc-
Cured inside the premises Of the
tribunal. Although che investigation
of the assailant's identity and motives
is still going on, it is stated in semi
official circles that the attempted
murder is part Of the white guardist
campaign of murder and arson that
is being conducted with the support
of the British tory government.
The secret police thruout the So
Wet Union are taking precautionary
measures. Although the white
guards are few in number, they con-
stitute a serious menace, operating
as they do in the interests Of Great
Britain. White spies, in the employ
of the British Foreign Office, are
said to be stationed in the army and
navy.
The murder of Peter Voikoff, So
Wet Minister to Poland, several
weeks ago, by a young White Rus
sian, who admitted that he commit
ted the murder "under orders" was
the signal for the renewal of a cam
paign of murder and arson. That
many of the white guards were. oper-
ating under direct orders from the
British Foreign Office was revealed
in the confession of Riley, captured
British spy, published soon after the
murder of Voikoff.
Other evidence made public since
the Voikoff murder showed that
white bandits were using territory
across the Polish border as base of
operations. That Pilsudski not only
knew about bandit raids in the UBra-
inc, but actually encouraged them,
was one of the startling facts brot
out by the evidence.
Official Moscow is awaiting the
results of investigation of the GRIM
inal attack on Orlov.
Preparations are being made here
for the celebration of Defense Week,
which has been instituted by the So

GOVERNOR WARNS
TAMMANY TO BAR
RACE ISSUE NOW
KIan Seen as Basis of
Kings Hospital Pogrom
BY CHARLES YALE HARRISON.

By CHARLES YALE HARRISON.
Sounds of internecine strife rum
bled and echoed down the dingy cor
ridors of Tammany Hall headquarters
yesterday. The loyal sons of St. Tam
many are doing some soft treading
and low talking these days, and ali
because Mayor Walker pulled a
boner by raising racial question just
when AL. Smith wanted all religious
issues played with the pianissimmo
stop pulled all the way out
Grand Stand Play.
Both sides of the contending fac
lions within the Tammany organiza-
ton are clearly aligned in the Kings
County Hospital fracas when Jimmy
Walker jumped at what he thought
was a fine popular issue to enhance
his prestige as q "friend" of the Jews
by promising to sit personally on the
bench to try the six gentle doctors
who INDUCED in mild sort of pogrom
last Monday by viciously beating up
three Jewish internes attached to the
Brooklyn hospital.
A city magistrate who was prom
inently identified with the La Fol-
lette campaign, and who particularly
asked that his name be withheld said
Governor Smith has issued orders
that all racial and religious questions
must not be featured in New York
politics. The governor is anxious not
to embitter the khan states. The split
delegations from southern states will
be very useful in 1925"

After Expulsion Vote Is
Absurd, Says Hyman

ers to allow the members of that or
ganization to vote on the question
of proportional representation, Louis
Hyman, manager of the Joint Board
of the Cloak and Dressmakers
Union stated last night that "the
action Of the right wing is merely
a gesture. First they kick out the
left wing and then decide to allow
the members to vote.
According to the agreement that
was adopted at the 1925 convention
of the international, when the vote
was to be taken, both sides were to
be represented on the committee of
tellers. By first expelling the left
wing, which means the overwhelming
majority Of the membership, the right
wing can now feel safe to allow a
vote of the proposition.

"In the past, the right wing clique
I'D not want to allow the large
locals to have a large representation
because that meant the end of their
rule. But today, when they do not
have to contend with this problem
the right wingers can pose as liber-
ais.
"In every local they will have their
little clique vote, and no matter
which way the membership decides
the Sigman clique will have nothing
to fear for their power will con-
tinue to be secure.
"In this move at the present time
the right wing once again shows
that they are not sincere. BY al
lowing the membership to decide
whether they favor proportional
representation or not, the right wing
is throwing out another Of their
bluffs. This will not fool the work
ers of the trade; they have heard
stories of similar kind many times
in the past"

WILLARD MAKES
CLEAR HE WANTS
TEN-HOUR DAY
Morrison Is
Confused

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81
The statement made by Daniel Will
lard, president of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad in answer to criticism
of his advocacy of the longer work.
day confirms the belief that the
eight-hour day in the railway indus
try is under attack
This Willard denies, but his second
statement openly favors the abolition
of time and one-half for overtime
worked up to 10 hours.
The experience of the labor move
ment has shown beyond doubt that
without a penalty placed upon the
employer for shifts over hours the
8-hour day is meaningless.
Inspired by Open Shop Roads.
Willard admits that the example Of
open shop roads like the Delaware
and Hudson, where the work day is
0 and 10 hours has aroused his envy.
Secretary Morrison of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor has replied
to Willard, but one clause of this
reply is causing considerable COM
ment in labor circles. Morrison stated
that union shopmen would accept the
Willard proposal only if time and
one-half for time over hours is paid.
This statement confuses rather
than clarifies the issue, since it can
be taken to mean that the 8 and 10
hour day will meet with approval in
the executive council of the A. F. Of
L. if it is accompanied by an increase
in wages which will approximate the
amount of pay for two hours over
time work.
II is pointed out here that this is
a dangerous principle, since forced
reduction in wages would leave the
10-hour day in force.
