Democratic Conferences ut Yarn Springs Hape Meaning;
 Real Significance Sho,on Up
By BYRON PRICE Chief of Staff, the Associated Press, Washing gtozs-b b.s..-,,-.s.s

The Democratic conferences at Warm Springs have a political in- terest far out-reaching the immed- fate public issues involved. Their real significance is measured by the degree to which they develop working understanding-or lack of it-between the next President and the leaders of the next Con- gress. W la1tliifU
 To appreciate the complexities and the importance of this first step toward inaugurating the new eeal" at Washington, it is neces- sary only to ask two questions:
 Who is to be elected to the Dem ocratic House Speakership which MT. Garner will vacate on March to become the Vice-President, and for which a half-dozen candi- dates are contending? What meas ure of recognition is the new Dem- ocratic Senate to give to those in- surgent Republican Senators who supported the Democratic national ticket in 1892?

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Earl BrOwen, member of the Sec retariat of the A m e r can Communist Party, said today at the National Headquart- CTS, that ever since William z. Foster suggested a march on Washington, the party has been active in organizing and supporting the march. He said a vast majority of the present m a r hers are not Communists "but m ost of them have become sympathe-I tic in the course of the march,"
 Is Local Move
 Browder said the recent Com munist National political campaign was aligned with plans for the march. He said the American Communists did not ask approval of the International c o m m mist Headquarters but i've send them our papers and we receive papers from them.
 "The Communist Party has been the main political leader in the fight for unemployment insurance and the present march on Wash ington fits in right with our whole conception of the struggle for such relief as well as the demand for immediate winter relief. We ex- expect 2,5O0 marchers to reacn Washington by Monday. These in turn will represent at least 40,0O0 organized in Unemployed Coun- cils."

 Official Probe
ALASKA MERCHANT WAS STRUCK DOWN
Ribs Found Broken-Ar- tery Ruptured, Deep
 Cuts on Head
PETERS BURG, Alaska,

PIE T E R S BURG, Alaska, Dec. 1.-Sing Lee, aged 80 ears, prominent Chinese merchant in Alaska for 40 years and in this town for 20 years, who was pronounced to have died from hemorrhage last Saturday morning, met his death by criminal means by an unknown person or per- sons.
 The aged Chinese was mur- dered in his room between s o'clock last Friday night and 10 o'clock Saturday morning, when his body was found.
 Sing Lee had willed his property to his wife and two children in China. No Money Found
 No money was found on his person and only $3 in a pocket.
 The investigation of a cor- oner's ury determined the murder after an autopsy yes- terday when a doctor stated that a pulmonary artery had been ruptured and five lower ribs on the right side had been broken.
 There was a deep cut on both sides of the head. These caused the investigation to be made.
 It is believed here that Sing Lee had no enemies.
 The case is most mysterious.
 Found on Floor The body of Sing Lee was found on the floor in his rooms over his general mercantile store. It was first believed he had died of hem- orrhage until the cuts on the side of his head were discovered. Then further examination of his body was made.

can We do? We can not re-bid

could bid hearts.
Personally, the writer would pass
this hand, as I do not like to show
two suit hands when all strength is
concentrated in the two suits and
both are four card suits.
Summing this up, we find here a
hand that not only has the required

bids clubs, diamonds or no trump
we can safely re-bid the spade suit.

immediate diplomatic recognition of
Russia.
Through an endless day Of reso-
luton reading, the delegates pre-
pared to go home and battle for
the feature measures that the con-
yention has adopted--compulsory
unemployment insurance and a
thirty-hour work week.
Munitions Control Urged
Resolutions calling upon the gov
eminent to take over the manufac-
ture Of war munitions and arma-
ments also we're approved Thurs
day. In a stirring speech from the
floor, John p Frey Of Washington
urged the adoption Of this resolu-
ton as a means to lessen the pos
sibility Of war"

country might be defended ade-
quately.'

in business again was brought to
the attention of the delegates to-
day. A series Of resolutions was
adopted asking for legislation which
would compel private businesses,
partnerships and corporations deal
ing in interstate commerce, to
secure federal licenses. This was
seen as a means of stricter con-
troll by the government of business
practices and bolstering the anti

convicts in work done by skilled
labor was passed as was a demand
