cial activity we're tied up today by
general strike of approximately
$1,000 truck and delivery wagon
drivers Efforts to enlist trolley.
subway and bus workers were being
made, but so far had not succeeded.
Millions of dollars worth of ner
chandise, much of it intended to
brighten Christmas in thousands of
homes, and produce and perishables
were piled upon loading platforms.
Under terms of an "armistice"
with the union, a few trucks op-
Grated delivering produce and sup
plies to hospitals.
Bread deliveries had almost
ceased. At the General Baking
company and other large plants no
trucks were being loaded Or depart
ing. Hundreds of pickets patrolled
plants and merchantile houses to
prevent truck movement.
Every available policeman was on
duty. Heavy squads were assigned
to car barns, subway yards, and bus
terminals where strikers delega-
tions sought to prevail upon work
ers to join them in sympathy Only
a few minor incidents of violence
were reported. One incident was
the placing of a dynamite cap on a
rail which exploded without caus-
ing damage when a trolley passed
over it.

DARING WOMEN
BELIEVED SPY
GANG LEADERS
French Police Trace Name
of Marie Louise
in Plot.
By United Press

By United Press
PARIS, Dec. 22.-Two steel nerved
women spies dominated the interna-
tional espionage gang under investi-
cation here, police believed today.
One Of the suspected leaders,
Nine. Ldia Stahl, alias TeChkalof,
is under arrest here.
The other they believe to be the
elusive Marie Louise named as
the agent with whom Lieutenant
Norman Baillie-S Stewart. high born
officer in the crack British Seaforth
Highlanders. became involved.
Baillie-S Stewart is serving five
years as the result of his conviction
of violating the official secrets act
by betraying to Marie Louise" the
details of army tanks and other
equipment which he was assigned to
study.
'Marie Louise" Named
Agents of the counter espionage
service here named Marie louise
as Marie Louise Schulz. Latvian
brunette recently arrested in Fin
land while carrying a forged Ca
madam passport.
1t was revealed in London that
Scotland Yard was investigating evil
dence that Robert Gordon swift.
American under arrest here. was
active in London last summer.
Paris police inclined to the belief
today that Nine. Stahl was supreme
leader of the gang so far as its
leadership has been disclosed. They
expressed the theory that Marie
Louise was her chief lieutenant
and operated in the Baltic coun-
tries
Earlier they had placed leader
ship in the hands of Benjamin
Berkowitz, naturalized Canadian Of
Rumanian birth.
Code Feared Stolen
Many of those arrested we're
travelling under American or Ca
madam passports. and either had
or pretended to have American or
Canadian connections. Marie Louise
was said to have as lover and as
siStant a man named Jacobsen. be
lleved to be naturalized American.
Police worked in cooperation
with Finnish police They said they
had traced Nine Stahl's activities
to Finland and that she had organ
lied a new espionage headquarters
at Heisingfors recently to replace
that of an eastern power which
Finnish police broke up a year ago.
The 48-year-old Nine. Stahl is
alleged to have persuaded aged
Louis Martin. French naval trans
latOr. to betray his governments
secrets. Police fear he may have
given her the secret navy code. If
he did, new one would have to
be compiled and ships all over the
world re-equipped with it.
SWitz and his young wife, the
former Marjorie Tilley of New
York, held with him and also al
legged to be unusually clever in
espionage activities, planned over
the weekend to strengthen their
defense that they were not spies,
and that if they were in any way
associated with spies it was as in
nocent tools.

Winnie Ruth Judd Lost Her Attempt To Embroil
 Jack Halloran In Murder

"If this is true" the judge said the facts of murder and the the ory of self defense. cannot be re- conciled,"
 Halloran's hearing began a week ago with Mrs Judd as the states star witness. She claimed she killed her friends in a light over Hal loran her former admirer.
 Legal authorities were confused as to what effect the decision may have on Mrs Judd's status.
 At the time of the ruling she was in her cell in death row at the state penitentiary, where on Feh IT, she has been ordered hanged
 County attorneys and court at- tachcs were inclined to believe the decision would help Mrs Judd only as 1t would influence the prison board of pardons and paroles which could intervene.
 She already has an appeal be- fore the board, taken immediately after the state supreme court up held her conviction.
