A crime-it might have been the
perfect crime-is unfolded, from mo-

shoe STRIKEAT
HAVERHILL HAS
STARTED AGAIN
Thought Settled But Some
Crafts Have Demanded
Wage Increases

Haverhill, Mass, April 5.-(UP)
The five-week-old strike of 5000
Haverhill shoe workers. announced
as definitely settled yesterday, was
thrown wide open again today by
what manufacturers termed ex.
orbitant last-minute demands of
several crafts for wage increases.
Minor price adjustment to be
made after the major planks OF a
compromise agreement were ac-
cepted at mass meetings Tuesday
night caused the renewal of the
deadlock. Manufacturers said that
instead of minor" adjustments.
stitchers came forward with de-
mands for 35 per cent increases,
lasters demanded almost as much,
and cutters and other crafts pre-
pared proportionate demands.
Prince conferences broke up at
midnight. the manufacturers de-
claring that they would take no
further action until the national la
bo rboard at Washington makes a
ruling on the strike, and until a
decision is made on the recent Pc
tition Of the United Shoe and
Leather Workers Union for an in
hill Shoe Workers Protective
Union from activities in this city.
The latter union was supposedly
amalgamated with the U. S. L. w.
u. last fall.
The new deadlock was viewed in
some quarters as favorable to the
strong Brockton union, the Broth
erhood of Shoe and Allied Crafts
men, which has h ad organizers in
the Haverhill area for several days.
Many Haverhill workers were
said to be displeased with the
leadership of the U, S. L. w. o.,
particularly since the apparent
election of Fred L. Biedenkapp.
Brooklyn, N. Y, communist. as
general organizer. Biedenkapp has
been active in the local strike.
Under the agreement submitted
to the mass meeting Tuesday. the
manufacturers granted wage in
creases, and the promise of fur

ing costs, in return for union
agreement to arbitrate all disputes.

HOUSE CLEANING

| NAT. committee
Roosevelt Campaign to
Put Political Lawyers
Out is Not Ended
BY LYLE G. WILSON
Copyright 1894. By The United
VRraSaA

Washington, April 5.-(UP).-
President Roosevelt's campaign to
purge the democratic national COM
mittee of political lawyers and fed
eral Office holders is II weeks old
today but the house cleaning Is
only about half finished.
Bitter opposition which devel-
oped at the outset is even more
emphatic today. There is no doubt
that the practical-politician ele-
ments of the party resent many i'm
plications of Mr. Roosevelt's pro-
gram for which they blame the
brain trust"
Resentmentis noticeable espec-
tally against White House demand
that federal office holders outside
OF Washington be compelled to re-
sign.
Among these are three collectors
of internal revenue: Horatio ABB
bolt, Michigan; Joseph Wolfe.
Minnesota; and H. H. Perry, North
Dakota. All must submit to the
axe. Why they have delayed II
weeks in submitting their resigna-
tionsis not being revealed by party
leaders here.
Likewise slated to go are Post
master General James A. Farley,
who eventually will resign chair
manship Of the committee; w. A.
Julian of Ohio, who holds office as
treasurer of the United States; Mrs
Jean s. Whittemore, Puerto Rico,
recently appointed to federal Office
there; and w. w. Howes, South
Dakota, second assistant postmast-
er general.
Against these seven who continue
to hold Office may be set seven
designations: J.. Bruce Kremer,
Montana; Robert Jackson, New
Hampshire; Arthur Mullen, Ne
braska, all practicing law there:
Jed C. Adams, Texas. q member Of
theboard Of tax appeals; Miss Mary
Ward, Massachusetts,, commission
err of immigration in Boston: Mrs
Ellen Woodward. Mississippi, of
the federal emergency relief adj
ministration; and Gov. Nellie Tay-
loe Ross, Wyoming, director Of the
mint.
An eighth resignation announced
today was said at the post office
department to have no connection
with federal Office or the practice
of law. George Thatcher resigned as
Nevada national committeeman.
Edward w. Clarke, Las Vegas
banker. was named Thacher's tenn
porary successor.

late in the day. Oils were strong
as were packing stocks and to-
baccos.
The feature of the afternoon
was the utility group which turned
active and strong when the NeW

nor Lehman's plan for municipal
operation of utility plants. State
utilities such as Consolidated Gas
were first to rise. The latter
touched 36A in the early dealings
