CHICAGO, November 25.--The FIVE
day week for railway shopcrafts was
added to the six-hour-day program Of
the brotherhoods today in the move

transportation through shortening hours
Of labor.
The six shopcrafts unions, afhliated

initial steps toward a six-hour day for
their members without pay reductions.
The two organizations represent a
majority of the 81 railroad workers I'M
ions of the country. Railroads have
dropped 10000 of their members since
1923, a shopcrafts official said.
The shopcraftsmen also adopted q
program favoring the regulation of all
classes of transportation by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, as rail-
roads now are regulated, and urging
also that Federal and State laws gov

other common carriers. s. 1s

 Friends of the women said that Mrs. Palmer. considered the most beautiful woman in the colony, was of a quiet nature and that Mrs. Post was subject to spells of anger.
 Both were associated in art ex- hibits and amateur theatricals, how ever, and there was no prior indica- ton of a breach in their friendship.
 Mrs. Palmer shared her luxurious bungalow with Mrs. Van Essa Me Dowell, wealthy Chicago artist. She was born in Waukegan. H., and it was said she had number of rela- tives residing in the middle west.

CHINA BARS REDS
 SHIPPING TRADE
Moscow Threatens Reprisal if
 River Is Closed

Harbin, Manchuria, April 25 P- The Sungari river, principal inland waterway in North Manchuria, has become the storm center of a bitter controversy between the Ranking government and Moscow.
 Russia wants to navigate the stream under the same protection that other foreign powers now en- joy on the Yangtse river in China proper. Ranking is opposed, on the grounds that sooner or later all for eign rights to navigate China's in land waters will be abolished along with the much talked of extraterri- toriality.
 Aside from various issues which have arisen as a result of Russia $ return to power in the administra- tion of the Chinese Eastern railway, the question is perhaps one of the most important now confronting Manchurian government officials
 The Sungari river plays a most'im- portant part in the economic life of North Manchuria. There has been an enormous increase of cultivation along it's banks and in its valley. Hundreds of thousands from tho central provinces of China have built homes in the region and are endea- voring to develop it. There are thou sands of fertile acres still available.
 On Boundary
 Russia inst int cf o1 in dp veloping the country as the Chinese, since the Sungari joins the Amur river, which forms part of the Man churian and Siberian boundary line. To reach a seaport, products from North Manchuria must be taken down the Sungari and then by the Amur to Nikolaievsk at the mouth of the latter stream. Here the Man churian farmer will be provided with a world contract. enabling him to export his products to all ports in China and to foreign markets. At present, Chinese vessels are permitted to ply only on the Chinese side of the Amur and then no fur ther than Habarovsk, where the stream ceases to be a part of- the boundary.
 The Russians have taken the stand that if China is not willing to permit them the use of the Sungari, they are in a position to halt devel- opment in North Manchuria by re- fusing to grant the Chinese permis- sion to navigate the lower Amur. China has taken the same posi-

BINGHAM EXPLAINS
 RUM STORAGE BILL
Would Not Violate Dry Law in
 US. InSular Possessions
By GEORGE IT. MANNING

(NaShinSton Bureau, \. $. HcTGldl
 Washington. D. C., April 25-In explanation of his bill to legalize the storage and handling of liquor, uu- der certain conditions, in the Virgin Islands and Hawaii, Senator Hiram Bingham today said that it does not in any way modify the present pro- hibition law. but affects foreign li- quors, and foreign nations, only.
 The meat of the measure is found, Senator Bingham explained, in the following proviso: That the gov ernor of the Virgin Islands may, by executive order, permit the receipt and storage of spirituous and vinous liquor in a warehouse in the port of Saint Thomas in the Virgin Is lands designated by him with the concurrence of the commissioner of prohibition for the United States for the purpose of transshipment, re- packing and sale 10 vessels of for eign registry which call at the said port of Saint Thomas"
 Also, the commissioner of prohi- bition shall control and safeguard liquor deposited in said warehouse from unauthorized and illegal dis posal within any of the Virgin Is lands"
 Tn framing the measure" said Senator Bingham, T have followed the language of the prohibition law as it now covers and affects the Vir- gin Islands and Hawaii. The pro- visos are merely for the conven- fence of foreign vessels, and the re- sultant protection of American mari time and business interests at Saint Thomas, chiefly.
 The bill merely provides that a warehouse may be established at Saint Thomas in which foreign own CTS of foreign liquor may store it, to be sold or delivered only to for eign ships. English ships, German ships and other foreign vessels had been accustomed to replenishing their liquor supplies, and inability

 When the object was first noticel last week on a photographic plata made in 1924, it was believed to be identical with Planet X, but after computing what the position Of Planet x would have been in 1924, this theory was abandoned.

to do so has a tendency to divert them from St. Thomas to Barbadoes or some other foreign island in the area.
 This proposed legislation simply would make it possible for such for eign vessels to obtain their custom ary supplies, without infringement of the letter or the spirit Of the American prohibition law. No Amer ican could operate under the pro- posed amendment, no American li Quors could be stored or sold in the warehouse and no American vessel could obtain liquor from it.
 Whether or not the senate will ac- cept Senator Bingham's view and intent, remains to be seen.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY
 BARED IN HOME
Mrs, Guy Post and Woman Friend Found Dead in Bungalow

Laguna Beach, Calif.,' April 25 (UP)-An air of tragedy hung over the gay artists colony of Laguna Beach today as result of the deaths of Mrs. Guy Bates Post and Mrs. Doris Murry Palmer, two of the most prominent members of the tiny seaside community.
 Friends, returning Mrs. Palmer's pct dog, found the two bodies lying in the picturesque bungalow built by Mrs. Palmer a few years ago when she came to Laguna Beach to become a leading spirit Tn theatrical life of the colony.
 Officers called to the bungalow discovered a .32 caliber pearl-han- dled revolver under the body of Mrs. Post and declared that she had shot Mrs. Palmer and then killed herself while in jealous rage.
 Both Divorced
 Mrs. Post, 50, known on the stage two decades ago as Adele Ritchie, an outstanding beauty of the time, was fOlCCu ldSt yCdl IiOhl duJ Bates Post, celebrated actor.
 Mrs. Palmer, 20 years younger than her friend. was the former wife of Dr. Clinton Foster Palmer. Albert Lea, Minn., physician, whom she married nine years ago and divorced after year.
 The two womens evidently drawn together by kindred pleasures of an artistic nature, were virtually in- separable during the several years they lived six blocks apart ill La guna Beach.
 They were together at the home of Mrs. Palmer at noon yesterday when an event considered as an inn portant solution to the tragic double death took place.
 A friend of Mrs. Palmer's, Mrs Frances Berry, of Los Angeles and Laguna Beach, called to ask her to a luncheon in the village. Mrs Post, according to police, was not included in the invitation and ap- parently disliked to see Mrs. Palm CT so without her. After discus sion. Mrs. Berry left alone.
 Telephone Unanswered
 At ? p. m., authorities were told Mrs. Berry called the Palmer bunga- low from the village and the tele- phone was unanswered. As far ds is known, Mrs. Berry was the last person to sec Mrs. Palmer and Mrs Post alive.
 The next definite information wa; furnished by Nerer Rush and Mrs Kenneth Browne, also friends oi Mrs. Palmer. They said they found her small spaniel wandering on a street and took it to their friends home because they feared 1t would fight with other dogs and be in. jured.
 When, with the freedom 0, friendship, they walked into the bungalow unannouneed, they came upon the bodies. Mrs. Palmer was lying near a doorway leading iron, the living room and Mrs. Post was found near the entrance to d bed. room opening off the living room The former was shot near the basl of the back of her neck. and Mrs Post had a bullet wound extending from the roof of her mouth to heI right temple.
 Authorities, in reconstructing the scene, said they believed Mrs. Palm. CT, who was slightly deaf, decided tc dine with Mrs. Berry and that Mrs Post shot her as she nearcd a dool to so to her automobile. It was pointed out that her deafness woulL have prevented her from hearing Mrs Post approach.

 A leading theory was that tht shooting of Mrs. Palmer occurred
