ACTION ON MILL
union VOTE DUE
Labor Board May Decide on
Real Silk Election,
Officials Say.

Instead of ruling on the Real Silk
hosiery mill employees election last
fall, the national labor board at
Washington probably will decide to-
morrow whether or not a new cleo
ton should be held, according to
union officials.
1t was announced at Washington
yesterday that the board would an
nounce a decision tomorrow in the
hosiery mills dispute, but no indi-
cation was given as to what phase
would be ruled on.
William Smith, high official of the
national hosiery workers federation,
here leading the strike. today said
the national labor board may rule
a new election should be held, par
ticipated in only by those entitled
to membership in the union.
In the election last fall on the
company and national union a ma
jority Of Real Silk employees voted
for the company union, or Employees
Mutual Benefit Association.
However, Mr.. Smith charged,
only LOO of the plants 5000 en-
ployes were eligible to union men,

should have been permitted to vote.

Join the union, and is was unfair
to permit them to decide by which
union the hosiery workers should
be represented, he said.
I believe the national board will
decide that conditions have changed
at the mill, as evidenced by the
strike, and that a new election
should be held.
No further clashes between mill
workers and strikers were reported
to police today.

By United Press
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, April 25.
Prison guards, deputy sheriffs and
local police today searched northern
Indiana and southern Michigan for
Herman Williams, 4S, a Negro trusty
serving a life term for murder, who
walked away from the state prison
last night.
He was the fifth trusty and the
fourth life termer to escape since
April 81.
Williams last was seen at 7 p. m.
after he had spent the afternoon
cleaning up the administration
building. He was wearing khaki
overalls over his prison uniform.
Posses took up the search after
his absence was noted at the p. m.
check-in. Members of the posse
went as far as New Buffalo, Mich,
while state police and prison officers
checked all automobiles going out
of Michigan City.
Williams was sentenced in Della
ware county May 81, 1923, on
charges of numbering his wife. In
November, 1888, he was denied a
parole by the state clemency COM
mission.
A further check of his record re-
vealed that prior to his conviction in
Delaware county he escaped from
the Atlanta (Ga0 federal peni-
tertiary where he was serving q
one and one-half year sentence or
charges of white slavery
Escape of Williams was preceded
by the escape of the other fou1

Leland Phillips, 26, serving life
term for murder, and Noah Seals

sentence. were two of those who
fled over the weekend.
They escaped from the prison
farm west of the jail.
Willard Butler, 81, and Charles
Irwin, SO, Negroes, serving life
terms for murder, were the other
members of the quartet. Butler was
the private cook of Warden Louis
Kunkel and Irwin was working in
one of the prison buildings.
1t is estimated that more than
twenty men, including the terror
mobsters, have escaped from the
state prison in a years time.

WRIT ANSWERED
BY ROOSEVELT
Evolution, Not Revolution, Is
New Deal Trend, Says
President.
By United Press


WASHINGTON. April 25.-Revo-
luton without the "R" was the
nutshell characterization of the new
deal placed today by President
Roosevelt before those who have
challenged the direction in which
his policies are leading the country.
The Presidents statement, made
in an informal address at the open
ing Of subsistence homesteads ex-
hlbit, was his first public recogni-
ton of the charges and controversy
growing out of the Writ episode.
Without mentioning names, al
though his references to the Red
plot revolution charges of DR.. Will
liam A. Writ, Gary Gnd.) educator,
were clear, the President said:
when YOU hear talk of revolu-
ton in this country you tell them
who talk about it that there is one
letter too many in that word, it
should be evolution"
The President in lauding the sub
sistence homestead program wove
constantly through the speech an
appeal for recognition of the i'm
portance of long-range national
planning as a step toward perma-
nent improvement of the economic
and social structure of the nation.
There are going to be expert
ments, many of them" he said
Some are going to work, some are
not. We have got to discover, how
ever, the right way and the wrong
way"
Mr.. Roosevelt dismissed talk of
RECOMMENDATION of large masses.
There is to be no RECOMMENDATION"
said. I'VE are not going to take
people by force from one community
and put them in another"

Cavein of
Roof Kills
City Worker
Laborer Is Buried Under
Debris at Lieber Brewery
for Two Hours.

Slowly rotting steel beams in the
roof of the Richard Lieber Brewing
Company, 1912 South West street,
which collapsed yesterday killing
one man and injuring eight were
given at the cause of the tragedy
by ]. M. Henry, city engineer, who
inspected the wrecked structure to-
day.
Examining pieces of the roof, Mr.

formed by the decomposition of Gin
ders spread over the beams had
caused the beams to sag and finally
give way completely, late yesterday.

amined the building thoroughly and
pronounced the unchanged part fit
for workmen to continue the job of
renovation. The part Of the struc-
ture which collapsed, according to
Mr.. Henry, was built in 1906.

tons of debris buried him was Fred
Elliott, 81, of 1908 North Harding
street, carpenter.
He was working on the second
story of the building, which was
being remodeled, when the roof
buckled and crashed. His body was
recovered in the basement after
rescue squads had worked desper-
ately for two hours in the hope that
Elliott might be alive.
Workmen Take Flight
The building trembled and shook
before the collapse. Workmen fled
toward exits.
The injured men are:
John Winney, Sc, Sunshine Gar
dens; Charles Milholland, A, of 833
Lincoln street; Thomas Fitzgerald
48, Eastgate hotel; Arthur Mitchell
81, of 1881 Shepard street; Charles
Ebersole, AZ, of II North Randolph
street; John Gray, 45, of 919 North
Delaware street; William Moody
80, Negro, 713 West Thirteenth
street, and James Rooney, 48, OF
1850 South Talbot street. All eX-
cept Moody and Ebersole we're sent
to city hospital.
DR.. William E. Arbuckle, coroner
and William F. Hurd, city build
ing commissioner, launched the in
vestigations.
Victim Native of Fillmore
The Freyn Engineering Corpora
ton of Chicago had complete
charge of the remodeling, Richard
Lieber, president of the brewery and
former state conservation depart
ment director, said.
Elliott was born in Fillmore and
came to this city as boy. He is
survived by the widow, Mrs. Claudy
Elliott; a daughter, Mrs. Maxine
Liebtag; a son, Byron Elliott; his
mother; five brothers; sister and
a grandchild. Funeral arrange
mentS have not been completed.
Mr. Lieber said that the collapse
of the structure will delay produc-

Mukden, Manchoukuo, into China
be opened for traffic and that China
establish custom service at the

Acceptance by China would
amount to recognition of the state
of Manchoukuo, which until 1881

be calculated to lead the way toward
