tions can reach Geneva to partici-
pate.
AS expected the Japanese govern
ment noted that the American sug-
gestion did not put forward rigid
proposals as regards ratios of naval
strength to be maintained by each
power in classes of war vessels not
covered by the Washington treaty.
To insure success of the negotia-
tions, the Japanese note said it was
important that all parties to the
negotiation should approach the sub,
jec with an open mind, being al,
ways guided by the defensive re-
qnirements of each nation.
The American memorandum, after
expressing hesitationt"ats this time
to put forward rigid proposals." as to
the ratios, added:
"The American government for aits
part is disposed to accept, in re-
gard to those classes of vessels not
covered by the Washington treaty
an extension of the 5-5-3 ratio as
regards the United States, Great
I9ritain and Japan and to leave to
discussion at Geneva the ratios Of
France and Italy, taking into full
account their special conditions and
requirements in regard to the types
of vessels in question"
That Japan would not be willing
to accept the 5-5-3 ratio extention
tc other types of war vessels than
battleshlps and aircraft carriers has
,heen forecast in Tokyo dispatches,
although nothing has been said las
to what changes in ratio she would
seek at Geneva.
Secretary Kellogg withheld COM
ment on the Japanese note but prob
ably will make a statement later as
he did in connection wNh French
rejection of the Geneva conference
proposal AS yet the Washington
government has received no official
word as to when the Italian and
British replies may be received.

There were a number of schools
of speculation at work in the Capt.

president will veto the bill outright,
with message outlining his post
ton. Another group believes he will
sign it to demonstrate it's feasibility
or weakness. Still another holds
that he will approve in order that
the constitutionality of it's provisions
may be decided in the courts. A
fourth group, which believes the

it's belief on the political effect such
approval would have in the middle

Why the crack northern train, the

not known at the depot last night.
1t is supposed however that the great
number of passengers, extra heavy

as we'll as the thousands who have
petitioned him for pardon, that
Governor Fuller is going over the
evidence step by step, and even call
ing witnesses for questioning. 1t is
said that he will eventually go out
side the evidence, to the story behind
the Plymouth trial, the cordage strike
in which Vanzetti was a leader, and
to the red raids ACQUIRING at the time
Of the arrest of Sacco and Vanzetti.
No early decision is expected by
those who are closely watching this
case, and observing the actions Of the
governor in the matter.
Governor Fuller began interviewing
defense witnesses in the Sacco-V Van
zetti case today, having finished in
terrogating witnesses and experts who
testified for the State at the trial.
In his own Independent investiga-
ton into the case, the Governor, with
his personal attorney, Joseph Wiggin,
of Maiden, talked with. Wilbur F.
Turner, firearms expert, who testified
for the defense at the hearing on mo-
ton for a new trial.
Testifies for Sacco
Turner's testimony at that time was
that the bullets which caused the
deaths of Paymaster Frank Parmenter
and Guard Alexander Berardelli in
the Slater Morrill, Shoe Company
payroll ho,dup in April, 1920, could
not haze been fired from the gun OF
Nicola Sacco.
Professor Augustus Gill, of the
Chemistry Department of NJ. I. T., was
also questioned by Governor Fuller
as was Mrs. Glendower Evans, who
has long been active in the fight foi
the freedom of the two men.
Indications are that any person
with real knowledge of the case sug.
gested by the Sacco-Vanzetd defense
committee will be heard by the Gov
ernor.

Wins Better Food as
Men Quit Their Work

Sing Sing prisoners showed New

snappy strike action when they
pulled a highly effective strike.
Sixty-five men were back on the

granted and none the worse save
for isolation for a few hours.

Sergeant-at-Arms Fred Koran
and 10 deputies of the Mutual We'll
fare League started the strike when
they resigned from the league in
a body as a protest on the
wretched food served under the

promptly discarded razors and scis-
sors and 40 men in the knitting
mill left their machines as the
strike call spread quickly through
the prison.

PLUMBERS TURN
DOWN EFFORT TO
KILL 5-DAY week
Reject Internationals
Plan at Meeting

Members of Local Of the Plumb
ers' Union rejected by an overwhelm-
ing majority last night the proposal
Of the Executive Board that they
should return to work Immediately
and submit their demands to arbitra
ton. No return without the five-day
week and the S14 day, was the deci-
sion.
A special meeting Of the local had
been called to hear report from the
Executive Board which has been in
session for two days Secretary
Treasurer Thomas Burke and Presi-
dent John Coefield addressed the
meeting and laid before the members
the proposal that they should return
to work; within "a hours the unions
Conference Board should meet with
the Conference Board Of the employ
ers, and if they could not reach de-
cision an outside arbitrator should
meet one representative Of the union
and one from the employers. The
decision Of this arbitration commit
tee should be binding.
Mean to Fight
The plumbers, who have been ON
strike since April lst absolutely re-
fused to consider this suggestion, and
one speaker from the floor urged the
officers to return to Chicago and
leave them to settle the strike them
selves.
The discussion which followed the
speeches of Burke and Coefield was
still in noisy progress as the DAILY
WORKER went to press; but MEM
beers Of Local / declared that nothing
viii change their refusal to accept
the proposal OF the Executive Board.
They viii continue the strike until
the five-day week and the STA day are
granted by the employers.

FirGbugS
In Tenement Blaze
Routing 80 Families

Following a blaze yesterday in a
five-story tenement house at 113 Ed
ridge st. on the East Side, unmistak-
able evidence of the activity Of a
firebug was found. Four persons were
injured and about 80 families were
routed.
The injured are:
Dora Lefkowitz, 8, Commissions and
possible fracture Of the right shoulder
and decorations of the scalp sustained
in 30-foot fall.
Michael Wizney, II, decorations of
the right foot.
Sophie Wizney, Ia, first degree
burns and decorations of the right eye.
Anna Wizney, AZ, mother of Mich
ael and Sophie, contusions and abras-
ions of the body and possible fracture
of the left leg.
The first blaze was discovered in
some rubbish m the basement by a
passerby, who turned in an alarm,
which brought Battalion Chief Levy
with apparatus. The fire soon was
extinguished.
Another Fire
After the departure of the firemen,
however, tenement house Commission
er Edward Barry, who lives in the
neighborhood, noticed dense smoke
pouring out. He turned in an alarm
which again brought Battalion Chief
Levy with No. 6 Hook-and-Ladde1
Company and No. II Engine.
With great difficulty the firemen
erected ladders in a rear yard and res
cued the tenants. Three ambulances
and the police emergency squad were
called.
After the second blaze had been ex-
tinguished, a five-gallon can of gaso-
line was found. The walls and floors
Of the building had been literally
sprinISled with the contents.

Both Sides win" in
Sons Of Italy Fight

Both factions in the Order of Sons
of Italy in America claimed as vic
tory the Supreme Court decision hand
ed down in Buffalo on Monday in re-
gard to the legal status of the New
York Grand Lodge.
The New York Lodge seeded in
1926 because the parent body had
sent greetings to Mussolini. The court
has ruled that it had no right to Sc
cede without affiliating itself with
another fraternal organization of SIM
liar aims and purposes.
The court also decided that the cleo
ton held by the so-called 'loyal' fac
ton at the time of this break was
illegal, and new election by the en-
tire lodge must be held at once.
Won't Fall for Fascism.
While the New York Lodge is not
associated with the anti-facisti forces
in America, it has steadily refused to
endorse fascism as the parent body
has done. Prominent in this seeding
group are Congressman Fioerella La
Guardia and Justice Gothic.
Added to the differences which have
caused the long fractional fight in the
organization, the New York lodge will
now be faced with the question Of
taking an oath which the parent body
has recently prescribed for all mem
bers. This oath pledges that the MEM
Der is "loyal Italian" who supports
the king and the Italian government.
Every member is required to subscribe
to this oath, or resign from the lodge.

NOTE TO FULLER
ON F ANGUS CASE
Expresses No Opinion
on Innocence"

BOSTON, May 1S.-0fficial Bos-
ton, as represented at the State House,
was rubbing its eyes today as it read
over letter from the executive coun-
Gil Of the American Federation of La
Dor on the Sacco-V anzetti case.
The letter, signed by President Viii
liam Green, asks Governor Fuller to
review the case, but declares that it
does not express any opinion on the
Innocence or guilt" Of the victims of
Massachusetts, justice.
Attaches at the governors office
regarded the letter as of little help
to the case, as it had been generally
regarded that the A. f. of L. execu-
tive council would reiterate the de-
mand of a recent convention for liber-
alton of the Italian workers as victims
Of ian outrageous miscarriage of JUS
tice." The official A. F. Of L. request,
they pointed out, is miles behind the
appeals sent by the law schools of the
most prominent universities condemn
ing the whole Dedhnm trial as farce.

attorney Of Norfolk County and one

to Clash
With Rev, StratOn;
Row Over UIdine

The Rev. John Roach Stratton and
fundamentalism are scheduled to
clash head-on on May "a with Charles
Smith and the American Association
for the Advancement of Atheism.
Straton, the rabid anti-evolutionist
who gets $4,000 a year for his SER
vices as pastor of the Calvary Baptist
Church, claims Smith posters him with
atheist literature. Smith retorts that
the Rev. Straton is another.
The case will be heard in West Side
court next week.
Straton is in dutch with faction of
his own church which resents his Gag
erness to attain the headlines. The
holy mans contract to write a series
for the evening Hearst paper on the
Snyder-Gray case, served hot from the
court room, was the straw that broke
the camel's back. Straton was told
to climb back into his pulpit and stay
there.
Loses Lii Uldine
And then again, the Calvary medi-
cine man has been piqued because
such a good box-offiee attraction as
Uldine Utley, the Child" evangelist
whose age is estimated variously from
IA to "a, has been lost. Uldine climbed
up the golden ladder to fame in Stra-
tons pulpit, but lately she has been
cashing in under new management.
Last Saturday night she evangelical
at Carnegie Hall while the Rev. Stra-
ton was holding a COMMERCIALLY across
the street.
Efforts to pull Uldine down from
her perch under the provisions of the
child labor law have been fruitless so
far. Little Uldine has no working
papers" permitting her to play hockey
from school but the school authorities
have winlked at the violation.
The last meeting of the board was
on January 9 when the elders strictly
forbade Straton to collect side money
of 100000 as supreme hokus-pokus of
the Khan. The next meeting is Tues
day.
