ANTI-LYNCHINC
PROBERS STUDY
VAN NUY'S BILL
Maryland Mob Leaders May
Be Subpenaed by Sen
ate Committee.
BY WALKER STONE
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-How far
it should inquire into the lynching
of a Negro on the eastern shore OF
MARYLAND as a clinic case bearing
on the necessity of pending federal
anti-lynching legislation is being
pondered by a judiciary subcommit-
tee of the senate.
The names of nine men alleged
to have participated in the lynch
ing of George ArmwoOd at Princess
Anne last October, against whom
grand Jury composed Of nelghbors
refused to return indictments, were
given to the committee yesterday by
w. Preston Lane, attorney-general
of Maryland. Mr.. Lane also turned
over to the committee afidavits OF
eye-witnesses of the lynching, which
were ignored by the grand jury.
Chairman Frederick Van NuyS OF
Indiana said he had not determined
whether Subpenas would be issued
for the nine men. He said, however,
that they either would be subpenaed
or invited to appear before the COM
mittee voluntarily.
However, it is believed certain
that a subpoena will be issued for
Prosecutor Robins of Somerset
county, who presented the case to
the grand jury and who was classed
by every witness testifying on the
eastern shore mob murder as one
whose sympathies were with the
lynchers.
The proponents case in the anti
lynch bill hearings was concluded
last night after two full days of
testimony wherein the details of
practically every lynching since the
turn of the century were retold.
Attorney General Lanes testi-
mony-a factual recital of how the
infamed mob overpowered Mary
land state troopers to seize the
prisoner and hang him and burn
him-developed the tragic failure
of state authorities to sustain the
law in the face of hostile public
opinion on the Eastern Shore. With
out saying he favored federal anti
lynching legislation, Mr.. Lane gave
the committee the most convincing
evidence it received on the need of
such legislation.

P STREET TRACKS.
ORDERED REMOVED.
Utilities Body Decides New
Bridge Will Not Garry
Street Cars.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day ordered the Capital Transit Co.
to remove its tracks on P street west
of Dupont Circle.
After this Is done all street car
service from Georgetown and points
beyond to the downtown section will
come in by way Of Wisconsin avenue
to NJ street and thence east along M
street following the route of the old
Capital Traction Co.'S Rosslyn line.
The order also instructed the COM
pany to build double-turn connection
at Wisconsin avenue and M street and
to extend the underground trolley sys-
TEN along Wisconsin avenue from M
street to P street.
Bus Service Ordered.
The decision on this phase Of the
rerouting was made at this time be-
cause of construction of the new P
street bridge. This has reached a
point which made it necessary to de-
eide Immediately whether tracks would
be built into the new bridge
In the order the commission in
structed the company to replace the
street-car service on p street with
bus service which would seat the same
plumber of persons as the street cars
now in service. The order also said
that the fare to be charged on the
busses must be the same as that now
charged on the street cars.
Ask Ban on Street Cars.
Abolition of street car tracks on P
street was recommended by all of the
experts who presented plans to the
commission
When public hearings were held,
however, several residents of George
town urged that the street car tracks
be left in P street. Objection to their
removal was based partly on the
ground that the cars now using p
street would cause intolerable con-
gestion at the intersection of Wiscon-
sin avenue and M street.
The order by the commission today
does not become binding by itself. but
must go to the Joint Board, consist
ing of the District Commissioners and
the members of the Public Utilities
Commission sitting together. 1t is a
foregone conclusion, however, that the
Joint Board will approve the order.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 4.-The
storm brewing in the building trades
department came to a head today,
casting a shadow over the American
Federation of Labor Convention.
The Executive Council of the A. F.
of L. decided to take up the contro-
versy late today in q last-minute ef-
fort to keep it from the floor of the
convention. Leaders of both factions
said they saw little likelihood of
compromise.
The dispute involved refusal of the
building trades department-reversing
the recommendation of its own ex-
ecutive council-to seat delegates from
the Carpenters, Bricklayers and Elec-
trical Workers International Unions.
Green Urges Union.
While the delegates watched an
xiously the developments in this in
ternal dispute the words of President
William Green were still fresh in their
minds that workers of the world must
unite in the interests OF international
peace.
Asserting It is the purpose and
spirit of the workers of the world to
see that war never occurs again,
Green said labor must move solidly
Ito prevent what seems TO be an ap-
preaching war"
We cannot allow those with mad
lust for power to have their way,
the federation president warned.
They must not be allowed to COM
mand the masses of the people 10
march out on the field of battle and
destroy each other"
Green's remarks were made in in
PRODUCING John Stokes of London,
fraternal delegate to the convention
from the British Trade Unions Con-
gress, who responded:
Il re-echo all that President Green
has said. We workers must not allow
a repetition of the great world catas-
trophe"
Both were cheered wildly by the 325
delegates.
No Frontier With Canada.
In introducing William Dunn OF
Toronto, fraternal delegate from the
Canadian Trade Union Congress.
Green pointed out no frontier in the
usual sense OF the word separates
the Dominion from the United States.
and the border has no evidence OF
warfare or instruments of warfare.
The friendly relationship OF labor
organizations of the three countries,
Green commented, is a forward step
in international amity.
The Canadian delegate said laborers
in his country are watching with in
terest the development of the N. R. A.
in the United States and see in it
an attempt by the Government to aid
all classes Of its citizens.
