RIVER AND HARbOR
MEN NAME WILSON
Louisianan Is Again Elected
President at Meeting Here.
Program Adopted.

Representative Riley J. Wilson of
| Louisiana was unanimously reelected
| president Of the National Rivers and
| Harbors Congress at its closing ses-
| sion Yesterday in the Willard Hotel.
| Resolutions were adopted urging inn
mediate action on an adequate flood
control program for the Nation, par
ticularly in the Mississippi River re-
gion. These were presented at noon
today to President Coolidge at the
White House.
Creation of a department of public
works. as it may affect the jursdic-
ton of the Corps of Army Engineers
in river and harbor work, was OPP
posed by the congress, which voted
confidence in the work of the corps.
Amendment of the La Toilette sea-
mans act was advocated, as was any
other legislation which the congress
said restricted shipping. Permits for
the construction Of bridges which
might obstruct or impair navigation
were opposed. The congress indorsed
the barge canal service in the War
rior River.
DEVELOPMENT of a merchant marine
''under private ownership If possible.
but under Government ownership II
necessary" so that the American flag
will not disappear from the seas was
urged in the resolutions.
S. A. Thompson, the organizations
secretary treasurer, was UNANIMOUSLY
reelected and Miss Mabel Goeptert
was named his assistant.
Maj Gen. Edgar Jadwin, chief of
the Army Corps of Engineers, was the
recipient of numerous expressions of
support in his plan for flood control
Of the Mississippi River, after he had
explained it to the congress. He de-
clared that the ultimately remote pos.
sible maximum flood is about % per
cent greater than the 1927 flood, which
wrought such destruction. and he en-
phasized that man must not try to
restrict the Mississippi River too
much, or it will break any such plan" !"
Details of Gen. Jadwin's plan were
made public yesterday, when his re-
port on the subject was transmitted
to Congress by President Coolidge.
Gen. Jadwin pointed out that re-
garding the proposal to place new
men on a commission to deal with
flood control, If the new men work
10 years on this project. they cannot
get as good a plan or learn as much
about it, unless they adopt this one"
If this congress and the national
Congress get behind this plan, we
will have the work done in 10 years, -
Gen. Jadwin concluded.

REPUBLICANS "KIDNAP"
IOWA CONSTABLE, so

LENOX, Iowa, March IL OWL
liam Mullin, 80 year old constable,
has hard time staying in the
democratic party.
In 28 consecutive years in his office,
he has made so many friends in the
republican ranks that he is in con-
stane danger of getting more repub-
lican than democratic votes at an
election. When that happens, he
becomes by law a republican official
once when he was elected with
more republican than democratic votes
the democrats took him to task.
Il guess they kidnapped me-" he
explained But it's the only blot on
my political career.
Mullin is the oldest official in
Iowa, but his youthful prowess as
a Runner, wrestler and undefeated

and told him to give it to the man

81 drove into town with my hus-

engagement, and went around to the
station afterward to get the dog.
First I tried the check room, but
there was no dog there. Then I
tried the baggage room Again no

Well, that dog, which weighs 100
pounds if he weighs an ounce, wasn't
exactly hand baggage, but there he
was, just the same.
I'VE got him out and into the
car, but he evidently had become
attached to somebody in the hand

way home and three or four bicycle
policemen chased us on the way out
at different times, being convinced
that we were bandits and were
numbering somebody.

till the next morning when I went
back to the laboratory. Then he
broke cellar window and went
forth to romp with couple of puppies
in the next street. The puppies also
ran bowling home and there was
more trouble for me from their
owners when I got back that night.

Being a woman isn't SO much of
handicap to me in the medical
profession as you might think" said
when it comes to handling dogs
especially police dogs, like this one.
She indicated, with the point of her
slipper a tawny creature, which slowly
rose to an unexpected height, placed
its great paws on her lap, and began
to lick the top of her bobbed head.
A clip on his sensitive nose re-
pressed his affection, and he subsidized
to the floor.
81 found him in one of the cages
in the laboratory" she went on.
"They had picked him up on the
street, and not recognizing his blue
blood had brought him here and
sold him for three dollars, with
bunch of other street dogs for pur-
poses of experiment. He was too
big to experiment on safely There
were no men around the place who
would have taken the risk of over
powering him to give him chloro-
form. So he just staid on and on,
and when I found him all his ribs
and all his vertebrae were showing
through his skin because the ration
served to the dogs in the place made
lust about an appetizer for him. The
ration allowance being limited, he
had to get what the other dogs We're
served, and he was slowly starving
to death on it.
'I decided to take him out home
and make a watch dog out of him
I thought too he would make an
appropriate strolling companion for
my husband who is six feet some-
thing tall, and rangy, like my little
canine friend.
so I bought meat for him, and had
him fed up till he had strength
enough to walk, and then called
a taxicab, and when it came opened
the door of the cage and invited
him to come and take ride with
me.
sHe could hardly totter when he
first got on the floor, for he hadn't
been able to stand up in that little
cage, and all his legs were cramped
and bent by confinement. But pres
entity he picked himself UP, wagged
his tail, and limped after me to
the head of the stairs There he
stopped. He was afraid of stairs,
as I discovered then, and have been
rediscovering ever since. He just
sat down, yelped once or twice, and
refused to move.
Il hunted around till I found a
big rope, and tied it to the strap
around his neck. Then I hauled with
all my strength and although he
kept digging his toes into the floor,
l managed to pull him all the way
down
"There wasn't much room for me
in the taxi with him, and everybody
we passed stared at us, for he kept
bowling dolefully all the way to the
station, and kept trying to climb out
through the window. But we got
there at last, and I called red cap,
and asked him to tote the brute
to the train for me. I had just Is
minutes to catch the train 1 needed,
for I had dinner engagement, and
1 was in hurry to get home.
'The red cap dashed through the
gate with the dog dragging after
him, and endeavoring to. back like
a balky horse. When caught up
with them was met by an i'll temp
cred conductor who informed me
shortly that no dog could be carried
on that train without a permit.
Where do you get a permit?"
I asked him.

carpenters of the shop protested as
they considered the new shop stew
ard a stool pigeon, since he was a
non-union man who had only recent
ly Joined the union. No attention was
paid to the protest. Brother Elchibe-
goff again complained in his local
union whereupon he was put on
charges in the district council by
Business Agent Schmeiser for spread
ing false and slanderous statements
regarding working conditions in that
shop.
Trial Held.
CAT the trial held Sept. 80, 1927,
an affidavit was presented to the trial
committee signed by the foreman Of
that shop stating: That there are
non-union men working in the shop,
that the men who recently Joined the
union from that shop are getting
from 81 to Sd dollars per week and
that the machine or mill work depart
ment is working completely with nom
union men. But instead of being COM
mended for his action, Elchibegoff re-
ceived notice under date of Oct. &c,
1927, that he was fined 5000 by the
district council. If this is not paid
within 80 days he will be expelled
from the brotherhood,
Somebody's pockets are being
heavily lined for allowing such condi-
lions to exist. The officials of the dis
trict council want to terrorize the
membership. They want to silence all
who dare to raise their voice.

walking the streets in thousands,

cepting less than the union wage

CARPENTERS STEWARD FINED FOR UNIONISM
PROGRESSIVE CARPENTERS APPEAL CHARGES

A story of the filming of carpen-
ters' union steward by the carpen-
ters' union district council for insist
ing on union conditions in his shop
is told in an appeal now being cir
culated by the progressive carpenters
of New York.
Locals 1854 and 209O are reported
to have demanded a new trial for the
carpenter in question. Halkett, presi-
dent of the New York Building
Trades Council, was chairman of the
carpenters district council trial
board. The main points of the ap-
peal follow:
Non-union Men Hired.
"The carpenters of New York
should acquaint themselves with the
union-smashing tactics of the New
York District Council of Carpenters.
Brother Ivan Elchibegoff, men,
Der of Carpenters Local Union 1854,
wor working in the Forest Trim Mills,
Oakland st. and Newton Creek,
Brooklyn. This shop was signed up
with the district council and was sup
posed to have union conditions. In
reality the big majority of the car
penters were non-union and many of
the union men were paid below the
scale.
Brother Elchibegoff was shop
steward and he tried his best to
unionize the place. When the boss
heard of this, he threw Brother Elchi-
begoff and his tools out of the shop
and then fired seven union men who
dared to protest.
"The district council was notified.
Business agent Stephen Schmeister
of Local Union 1854 came to inves-
tigate. An agreement was reached
with the boss whereby all who were
discharged would be taken back to
work and whereby Brother Elchibe-

Shall labor control its own unions,
bad as they may be, or shall the cap
talists control the trade unions of the
men, handle the finances and elect the
officers?
There is also the age old battle Of
injunctions. Shall the courts be Ber-
nlitted to issue wholesale injunction
restraining union men from striking
Shall the courts restrain officers of
unions from organizing branches OF
their unions in any part of the coun-
try? If the A. F. of L. win one or
both cases, or win one and compro-
mise on the other it will have justified
its existence. However it is too soon
to talk Of victory and compromises,
for the fight has only just begun.
Plan n. Y. Fight.
The conference in Pittsburgh will
draw a rough plan for the New York
fight. 1t will seek endorsements and
powers for the Amalgamated in its
fight to organize the traction work
ers. 1t may recommend a campaign
to raise funds to carry on the legal
war. 1t may draw up a program of
action for the coming session of con-
gress. Whatever it does, beyond the
above generalities and recommends
tons, the plan as regards New York
will have to be reviewed and licked
into shape here to fit the special cir
cumstances and conditions. The law.
yers here are bound to have their
say and will surely try to keep the
fight legalistic affair as much as
possible, with the eyes of Senator
Robert Wagner on the coming state
and national elections, Wagner being
advisory counsel to the union.
Mahon Is Pleased.
So far President Mahon and his
aides on the Amalgamated are very
pleased with their progress. They
have delayed the injunction hearing
and have involved the entire Amer
lean Federation of Labor in their
battle with the Interborough Rapid
Transit Co. They have done better
than all by making company union
ism" a national issue with the legal
powers of the country drawn into it.
Without their knowing it they have
started revolution in our legal sys-
TEN. The corporation bosses who be-
gan the company union crusade may
regret they did not leave we'll enough
alone.
Among the important unions rep.
resented at the conference are the
Carpenters, the Teamsters and the
Miners. The second grade Of unions
on attendance are the Electricians. the
Marble Cutters and the Photo-en-
gravers. The miners headed by Presi-
dent Lewis have the largest delega-
ton on hand. So far as the person.
mel is concerned l am not at all i'm
pressed, for there are too many old

beams. Men like Duncan and Fisher
