MAN IS SHOT DEAD
IN FIGHT ON SHIP
Radio Operator Declares He
Killed OiIer in Self
Defense.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 9-W. A. Mullen.
80, of Portland, Nc, an oiler on the
tanker w. L. Steed, was shot and fatally
wounded aboard ship as it was passing
Bloody Point, Chesapeake Bay, last
night by Glenn A. Harrison, radio
operator, who claimed he fired in self
defense after being assaulted by Mullen
during an argument. Mullen died
shortly before the arrival of a police
boat which met the steamer off quaran-
tine early today with physicians sum-
moned in a radio message from Capt.
Frank Pharr of the Steed informing
police authorities of the affair.
Harrison after sending the message
was put In irons by Capt. Pharr, who
turned him over to the Baltimore police
According to his story as related by
Capt Pharr to detectives, Harrison had
carried a revolver for self protection
ever since he had his jaw broken by
of Steed's crew at Panama last
February. The physicians who treated
him, the radio operator said, told him
if he was ever struck again on the jaw
the injury would be permanent and he
would lose the power of speech. He
this warning, he said, when
Mullen struck him on the head in the
crews quarters last night and threat
ened him with more blows.
The steamer came from San Pedro,
Calf, with cargo of oil and gasoline.

LABOR EXPECTED
TO GAIN IN SOUTH
Strikes There Declared Result Of
Conditions That Needed
Correction.

Labor difficulties in the South,
emphasized by strikes among mill
workers in Tennessee and North Caro-
lima, were held up TO the National
women's Trade Union league today as
forecasting a new era for wage earners
in that section.
While taking cognizance of conditions
he described as deplorable, FRANK Nor
rison. secretary of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, predicted that "this
struggle of the workers will have good
effects" The wornen's organization.
composed of members representing
various unions, is in convention at the
Grace Dodge Hotel.
The trouble in the South is not the
result of labor organization, =, Morrison
said Conditions were forced on work
ers that forced them in turn to strug-
gle. without organization, to improve
living conditions" +
Asserting that children under 10
years of age are working in Tennessee
mills, the Labor federation executive
said the situation in the South "chal-
lenges those who oppose the 60-four
week for small children and starvation
wages for women" The only way, to
give more work to greater number of
people is by a shorter hour day and
shorter work week, he declared.
Social and human aspects of the prob
lem confronting labor were discussed
by Mrs. Raymond Robbins of Chicago
and Florida. honorary president of the
league. Wherever conditions in indus
try are wrong the answer is trade union
organizat ton" she said. THE chief
social gain of the union shop is not only
better wages and Shorter hours, but
rather the incentive it offers for mi
tiative and social leadership"
In that connection, she suggested that
the league send its leaders into rural
communities, not for a month or two,
but for a settled effort to call forth
leadership" The rural problem is not
confined to the South, she said.
A description of conditions in the
South was furnished the league by four
young women who were brought to the
convention through its educational &C
tivity. Personal experience was the
burden of colorful talks made by Miss
Margaret Dowd, Birmingham, sales
woman: Miss Margaret Bowen OF Eliza
bethton, Tenn, textile worker; Miss
Corabell Stillman, Richmond, Va, tailor,
and Miss Mary Mattox, Lynchburg, Va,
q garment worker.
The leagues education committee
recommended that cooperative effort
with the labor organization at Green's
boro, N. c., be continued and that a
plan of cooperation with the Ten
nessee Federation of Labor Ne devised,
together with cooperation with the
United Textile Workers.
A cable was ordered sent by the
league TO the British Labor party,
wishing its leaders success in the forth
coming elections.
