P. T. CARMEN
MAY STRIKE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10. W.P)-
Threat of strike on the Pacific
Electric interurban lines was re-
newed today increasing the tension
brought about by an existing strike
of city street car and bus workers.
In a bristling ultimatum deliver
ed to P. E. company officials, en-
ployee members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen threatened to
walk out Wednesday unless the
company agrees to arbitrate the
wage dispute.
The ultimatum was addressed
directly to the national mediation
board which came here from Wash
ington to handle the controversy
after a walkout had been voted
three weeks ago. The strike was
postponed at that time in obed-
ience to the board IS request.
The new threat was voted by
workers upon being informed by D.
A. Mackenzie and Lee R. Smith,
vice presidents, respectively, of the
Brotherhoods of Trainmen and
Railroad Signalmen, that d. w.
Pontius. P. E. president, had
'sbroken faith" with the unions
and the mediation board. Instead
of agreeing to arbitration, Pontius
appealed to the board "for succor'
and positively refused to change -
the company s previously stated re-
fusal to accept any arbitration that
might involve wage increases. the
workers were informed.
The Pacific Electric serves three
Southern California cities. carrying
more than 100000 commuters daily.
Any tieup would paralyze suburban
service to Hollywood, Pasadena,
Long Beach, Santa Monica, Glen
dale and other urban points in the
metropolitan area. The union is
demanding a new wage scale rang
ing from 59l2 to SO cents an hour.

dean of Americas Catholicism.
sought "front page publicity" by
attacking him, the Rev. FIR. Charles
E. Coughlin charged Sunday in his
weekly radio talk.
cardinal O'Connell himself has
invited this public utterance," the
radio priest declared, adding that
his remarks were made only after
he had consulted with his superior.
the Rt. Rev. Michael James Gala
CHER, bishop OF Detroit.
The cardinal, celebrating his
birthday in Boston last week, OBJ
served that Father Coughlin and
"all clergymen, no matter what
creed, tread hazardous ground -
in trying to directly solve political
or economic problems.
"Let it be understood that the
cardinal has no jurisdiction over
me; that he has no jurisdiction
outside of his own diocese,' the
priest declared. "I am criticized
by his eminence as he inSinuates
that I am doing something con-
trary to the wishes of my ecclesias-
tical superiors.'
On the contrary, Father Cough
lin insisted, he had observed the
commands of both Pope Plus XI
and Leo VIII in preaching the
principles of social justice.

TRAGEDY Of
ISLAND TOLD
At SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10. U.H - A
tale of death and horror and mys-
terry at "world IS end" was brought
into San Diego harbor this morn
ing with the little fishing schooner
Santo Amaro.
The IA men aboard the vessel
told the story of their discovery
three weeks ago, of two bodies on
lonely Marchena Island, one of the
northernmost of the Galapagos
group.
1t was a story of loves and hates
in the "'world s end" empire OF
the Baroness Eloise Bosquet de
Wagner Wehrborn, pieced together
from mute evidence found with the
bodies, skiff, beached without
oaks or oarlockS, a packet of let
ters in German and a few photo
graphs.
1t was Capt. William Borthen
putting the Santa Amaro into the
lee of the island for anchorage the
night of November 18, who first
saw the bodies.
The bodies, reported at first tc
be those of man and woman
have since been identified as ALFRED
Rudolph Lorenz, discarded lover Of
Baroness Wehrborn and a Norweg-
ian fEherman named Nugeruud.
Nearby was a packet of SO letters
unmailed, written in German
Swedish and Spanish. They are
still untranslated and we're turned
over to U. S. customs officers wher
the Santa Amaro docked.
There were photographs with the
letters-pictures of the baroness
"capitalo on Charles Island where
she ruled her little empire.
Capt. Brothern read one of two
written in English, and another il
Swedish, which he understands. HI
