z NEW STRIKES
THREATEN D. {.

Efforts of the Department of
Labor to settle the carpenters
strike, which has been on since
May l, have failed, it was learned
today, as a new strike which
would throw several hundred plas-
terers out of work seemed prob
able for the end of the week.
Charles Kolvin, conciliator of
the Labor Department, met with
representatives Of the carpenters
union and contractors in an effort
to end the strike. but admitted
today that conditions are dead
locked.
Mr.. Kolvin said that he will at
tempt to get the two groups to-
gether again in the next few days
for another conference, and that
he will attempt to prevent the
plasterers' strike.
The plasterers threaten to walk
out next Friday unless their pay
scale is restored to SITS an hour
and a six-hour five-day week in
stituted. The men now are paid
$3.50 an hour for 40-hour week.
The union has asked for the
shorter week to spread work
among unemployed members. Con-
tractors have asserted they will
not meet the raise demanded.
Meanwhile a third strike, that
of building laborers, doomed to-
day, with the men demanding
that wages be increased to go
cents an hour. This represents
an increase ranging from Is to
80 cents an hour.

Nothing less than death for the
kidnapers of William F. Gettle,

Thus spoke the law today as it
prepared to demand that Roy
Williams, Jimmy Kirk and Larry
Kerrigan, alleged confessed kid
napers of the millionaire, be
hanged.
And as the law moved to put
the moose around the necks of
Williams, Kirk and Kerrigan,
police sought the fourth member
of the gang-the man who put

marked the financier for snatch

Rescue Was Dramatic
Mr.. Gettle was safe with his
wife and four children today after
his dramatic rescue from house
in La Crescenta.
Not one cent was paid for his
release. The 100000 ransom
money was locked in vault as
the kidnapping came to a swift

Meanwhile he prepared to issue

More than 81 hours after they
took off from Floyd Bennett Field,
New York, on a nonstop flight to
Rome, no definite word had been
heard today concerning the prog.
ress of George r. Pond and Cesare
Sabelli.
Although due near the coast of
Ireland about 9 a. m. (E. S. To =,
they had not been sighted at that
hour.
No steamships along the route
had reported sighting their Bal
lanca plane.
No Fears Felt
Despite the absence of any
word, no particular anxiety was
felt, since the plane had sufficient
fuel to keep it aloft until 2:30
a. m. &c. S. To- tomorrow and

In the. Eastern Atlantic, from
mid-ocean to the Irish Coast, Wes-

were reported. It was party
cloudy, also, over Southern Ire
land, England and France.
The fact that Pond and Sa-
belli had not been sighted off the
Irish coast was not considered
alarming, since it was considered
possible they might have passed
well to the south, heading directly
for the southern coast of France.
