HARMONY LOOMS
At LABOR SESSION
Carpenters Fight of Six
Years Standing Ironed
Out in Committee.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated ffeSs.
LOS ANGELES, October 1.-Har-
mony omens for the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention which will
open here Monday were sighted today
as the Nations labor leaders busily
smoothed out organization snarls and
settled disputes, one of them major
disagreement Of long standing.
Yesterday was peace day for the
delegates who have been holding pre-
convention departmental meetings
here, Rehabilitation with the fedora
TONS building trades department of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joners of America, with it's
$50 900 members, was the outstanding
achievement. The brotherhood with
drew from the department six years
ago in a controversy in the board OF
awards, but retained its federal atiilia-
ton.
The building trades section settled
another family quarrel by voting to
sustain it's executive council in sup
porting the Building Trade Council OF
Baltimore in it's difficulty with the
Bricklayers' Union of that city. The
controversy revolved around con-
fiict between the brickayers and plas-
terers as to which workers should do
certain types of work.
Two departmental conventions
closed peacefully, with the metal
trades and union label trades group
both re.electing most of their officers.
A hint of struggle was given, how
ever, in a wave of Geographic bids for
tho 1928 convention of the federation.
Birmingham, Ala; st. Petersburg. Fla;
Toronto, Canada, Miami and Lake
land, Fla. all announced their inten-
ton of making a fight for the next ma
tional meeting.

SHORT GIVES Up
IN GIRLS DEATH
Luray Man, After Hiding in
Mountains, Denies Shoot
ing at Window.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LURAY, Va, October 1.-Thomas
Short surrendered to Sheriff Edward
Lucas about s o'clock this morning,
after hiding In the mountains around
Ingram, Va, since Wednesday, fear
ing seizure by a posse and vengeance
for the death of 19-year-old Elsie
Buracker.
The girl was shot through the win
dow Of her home Tuesday night and
Short disappeared. In surrendering he
denied that he fired the fatal shot and
said he was surprised Wednesday
morning when he learned that Miss
Buraker had been killed. He said
they met Tuesday and parted in the
best Of terms.
Short said he had been on a drunk
for 10 days or two weeks, but was
sober and clear minded when he met
Miss Buraker the last time. They
had discussed marriage, he said, but
refused to talk further about this. He
will make a fight for exoneration and
a lawyer will be engaged to obtain
the alibi evidence.
Commonwealth Attorney F. j.
Walton will call special session of
the grand jury for investigating
Shorts story and if the suspects alibi
is not substantiated he will ask a
first degree indictment and the death
penalty. A member of the Buraker
family saw Short pass the window a
few seconds before the shot pierced
the girls head, according to testimony
given at the inquest, which held Short
responsible. The prisoner is a man
40 years old and seven children are
in his home. His wife died more than
year ago.

CONTENTS UNKNOWN HERE.
Officials Lack knowledge Of French
Decision.

Notice of the receipt by the embassy
in Paris of the French reply to the
last American tariff communication
reached the State Department today,
but no intimation as to the nature OIL
the rejoinder on the question of nego-
tiating a INSTRUMENTATION COM
mercial treaty was available at the
department.
department officials declined to re-
veal whether the embassy has trans
mitted an advance summary of the
French note, or to indicate the signifi-
nee of the new communication in
the effort toward friendly adjustment
of the dispute over new French tariff
rates regarded by the Washington
Government as discriminatory against
the United States.
Previous correspondence on the SUBJ
iect between the two governments is
80 be published on Monday, if there is
no change in present plans. The
French foreign office has been re-
luctant in asserting to such publica-
ton, on the. ground that to give out
the communications would only tend
further to complicate the situation.
Plan May Be Revised.
The Washington Government, on
the other hand, has been anxious that
the press OF all countries should nave
access to the communications, in order
to make it clear that the United
States has taken a wholly friendly
sand throughout and not engaged in
u treats or assumed a belligerent atti-
tude.
In view Of the delivery Of the new
French note, it appears possible that
the agreement for publication of the
preceding notes on Monday may be
' subject to revision to include the en-
ike correspondence. In that event it
is likely that publication would be de-
f3rred until an American reply to the
E0te just received could be formulated.
In any event, there appears, in the
absence Of official word to the con-
trary, to be no reason for an assump-
s.on that either government is prepar-
tag TO break off the diplomatic discus
sion and resort to any other means in
dealing with the tariff conflict of
views.

Character of Answer to Be Kept
Secret Temporarily, in Line
With Agreement.

PARIS, October 1.-France's reply
to the latest American memorandum
regarding the tariff question has been
handed to Sheldon Whitehouse, the
charge daffaires, and will be for
warded to Washington today.
The agreement between Mr.. White
house, in behalf of the embassy, and
VI. Bokanowski, representing the
French government, was that moth
ing would be allowed to reach the
public as to the character of the re-
ply until it has been received in
Washington.
The reason for this, it is said, was
that some embarrassment was caused
both the French and American gov
ernments by the published summaries
Of previous notes on the matter.
The-translation of the reply had not
been completed at noon today and the
process of coding it was still to be
carried out. Consequently, it is eX-
pected that the note will hardly be
available at the State Department in
Washington before Monday morning.
