blamed by Howard T. Colvin,
Labor Department conciliator, for
failure to settle the strike which
has tied up Federal building activi
ties for several weeks.

men are standing pat" and re-

The carpenters seek a return Of
the old wage scale Of $1.37R

Will Rogers
SAYS:

BEVERLY HILLS, CAL, May
24.-The Government is trying
to fix silver. gold, Wall Street,
tariffs, how much to raant, and
a thousand other problems; yet
the greatest and most urgent
need in our land now is the
settlement of strikes.
It's so far above the needs
of any other legislation that
there is no comparison. Can't
the Government make arbitra-
tiOn compulsory? Everybody
knows that there are wrongs
everybody knows there are
strikes with just cause, and
some that are not. But with q
board composed Of the labor
union, one man; the man that
hires him, one man. and the
Government, one man, 1t looks
as though the side that
wouldn't agree to that Is wrong.
Let everybody stay on the
job during arbitration. If they
get the raise Of wages, it starts
back from the day the COM
plant was made. If that was
fixed, all these other things
wouldn't need fixing.

Relatives in SheadS Case
Deny She Had Foes or
Murder Premonition

Acting on a belief that the
murder of Miss Mary Sheads
was committed by a man who
operated in a similar method
in connection with a robbery
last month, police today sent
out a call to all patrOlmen and
other police to search for a
ladies' sport model gOId-green
Gruen wriSt-watch, stolen from
Mrs. Sarah J. Patterson, HOO
block Tenth st. N. w., on April
by a light brown cOlOred man,
22 or "a years old, who jumped
from q window and escaped.
Who killed Miss Mary E.
Sheads?
Developments in the intensive
search for the mysterious assail-
ant who last night Strangled the
65-year-old retired school princi-
pal in her apartment in the Bal
four, 1000 Sixteenth st. N. w.
are as follows: l.
1.Police are working on the
theory that the motive was rob-
berry 2. Evidence that might
possibly contradict this theory
reveals that the murderer may
have been with the slain woman
for an hour before the crime.
8. The slayer is known to have
remained in the apartment for
an hour after the killing.
4. Strength to the robbery mo-
tive was added by the fact that
relatives and friends of Miss
Sheads could not remember any
known enemies.
S. Friends testified, but rela-
tives denied, that the teacher
feared murder" Relatives
claimed she was afraid of death
in the form of a stroke.
Nothing Is Missing
6. Nothing is known to have
been taken from the apartment.
A mysterious receptacle, said
by a neighbor to be the place
where Miss Sheads kept such
valuable papers as wills, ETC.,
has apparently turned out to be
an envelope, not removed by the
murderer, in which the slain
woman, who lived alone. listed
the person to notify if anything
should happen to me-.
z. Careful investigation by
the police Identification Squad
and Homicide Squad revealed
no tell-tale fingerprints.
Fresh clues as to the time Of
the crime were gained today from
