GARMENT MAKERS
ASK LABOR UNITY
c. |. O. Committee Reveals
Letter to Green Urging
Harmony.
BY the Associated Press.

by tIie hSoUCiutcu Eieoo'
A new effort by New York garment
makers to prevent a final split in the
American Federation of Labor was
disclosed today by the Committee for
Industrial Organization.
The committee, headed by John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, made public letter from
Charles Zimmerman, president of
Local %. Ladies Garment Workers. to
William Green. A. F. of L. chief, asking
the federation's Executive Council to
descind its arbitrary suspension
order"
The Ladies Garment Workers Inter-
national was one of 10 unions affiliated
with the Lewis committee to lose good
standing in the A. F. of L last Satur-
day when they refused to leave the
committee.
The committee unions are promoting
a campaign to bring all the workers in
each big industry into one union. while
the federation's Executive Council is
controlled by craft union leaders.
Green said he had not yet seen the
letter, which said, in part:
There is still time to save the
federation from a disastrous split that
will be of benefit only to the most
bitter foes of labor, the open shop and
company union interests of the
country.
Let the council Immediately reScind
the arbitrary suspension order directed
| against the 10 unions affiliated with
the C. 1. o. and let these unions be
guaranteed their representation at the
A. F. of L. Tampa convention. Then
let the whole controversy be submitted
to the convention for full, fair and
| free discussion"
Zimmerman made a similar plea be-
fore the 10 unions lost their good stand
ing. To this Green replied:
Il suggest, If you desire harmony
and solidarity in the American Fedora
ton OF Labor. that you direct your ap-
peal to those who have decided to leave
the American Federation of Labor to
leave the rival movement which they
have created. and serve in creation
and development of a united, solidif1ed
aggressive labor movement within the
American Federation of Labor"

feat for the attacking Fascists. as
they were felled and driven back by
batteries of government machine guns.
The assault was made in an effort
to destroy squads of government
workers with pneumatic drills labor
ing to tunnel under the historic fort
ress. where Socialists planned to plant
dynamite and blow the refuge to bits.
The correspondent was caught in
the battle and barely scrambled to
safety in the home of iCty Councillor
Vidal Arroyo.
You see what they tried to pull
over on us after we have been expect
ing they would let their women and
children out" Vidal Arroyo exclaimed.
I'VE complied with their request and
sent Father Vazquez Camarasa from
the Madrid Cathedral into the Alcazar
to baptize a newborn baby and pray
over their dead We understood he
had persuaded them to set free their
families"
The councillor related how the
priest, blindfolded. spent three hours
inside the fortress. On his return,
the cleric reported the Fascists had
changed their minds about releasing
the women and children.
When the expected evacuation did
not materialize. government artillery
and bombing planes began a fresh
bombardment.

SAN SEBASTIAN STANDS FIRM.

tCopyrieht. 1885. by the Associated 4ress.'
SAN SEBASTIAN. Spain, Septem-
Der 12.-Socialist defenders of this
Summer embassy capital. encircled
by Fascist infantry and artillery, held
firm today in their refusal to sur
render.
Coldly. they turned down an ulti-
matum to drop their defenses under
a threat from Gen. Emilio Mola,
insurgent commander, to blow the
city to pieces"
Internal diSsenSion still ragged inside
the government lines thrown along
the outskirts of the Basque resort,
which has gained fame as Summer
gathering place for foreign diplomats
accredited to the Madrid administra-
ton.
Looting of shops and stores brought
disorder in scattered sections of the
city as strong forces of Basque ma
tionalists sought vainly to preserve
order in the face of a prospective
enemy attack.
The Basque commanders acknowl-
edged grave fears anarchists were
gaining control of the government
militia and the city was in danger
of being burned.
(The Basques seek to save the re-
sort community from destruction,
whether it falls to the insurrection-
lists or not. The anarchists have
vowed to sack the city rather than
let it be captured by Mola's fighters)
The French consulate was ordered
closed by Jean Herbette, the French
Ambassador. He cautioned all citi-
zens to evacuate the city yesterday.
A neutral zone was established by
consular corps at La Sarenas, on the
sea, where two villas were rented to
afford foreigners a haven in time of
danger.
Government officials instituted new
civil measures, prohibiting any person
to possess more than 500 pesetas and
ordering employers to pay workers in
full for their services.

RACKETEER GRAFT
BY POLICE DENIED
Brown Says No Evidence Of
"Tips" to Crime Element
Has Been Uncovered.

Declaring no evidence has been un.
covered to show members Of the Po-
lice Department are working" with
racketeers, Mai. Ernest w. Brown,
police superintendent. said he hopes
to have a complete report on the in
vestigation Of graft rumors by the
first of next week.
up to this time" he said. nothing
tangible has developed to substantiate
yelled accusations that unnamed Off
GERS have been tipping off" or other
wise cooperating with the criminal
element.
THE investigation has been thor
ough-not single branch of the de-
partment overlooked-and we have
found no basis for these rumors."
The rumors started few weeks ago
when a special squad of headquarters
detectives was alleged to have been
hindered by uniformed officers while
they were raiding gambling houses in
search of three men sought in con-
nection with so-called bootleg war"
shooting.
1t has been reported also that a
policeman, whose name was known to
the investigators named by Maj.
Brown to run down the "informer"
rumors. was accepting money to allow
an illicit liquor ring to operate here.
The name of the officer, according
to the report. was in the hands of
Capt. Ira Keck, assistant detective
chief, and Lieut.. Floyd Truscott, night
inspector. Both, however, have been
on vacation for a week
Questioned about the report today,
Maj. Brown said it was groundless.

Overhead three Fascist bombing
planes, painted black, circled the
headquarters village and the nearby

in an attempt to destroy the COM

Four small settlements behind the

the insurgent bombs. Four non-com-
battants were killed by the deadly
rain of steel in Torrijos, IL miles
east
All the bombs dropped on Santa
Olalla fell wide of their mark, how
ever.
Frenzied troop operations, mean

to the battle scene from Navalcarnero

collect. The Commissioner has sug-
gested that the gasoline tax be in
creased.
An entirely contrary view was
voiced by Peter F. Snyder of the Six
teenth Street Highlands Citizens As
sociation, who declared the residents
OF the District "are paying as much in
taxes as they ought to pay"
He asserted the interests of tax,
payers were due first to consideration
and said instead of talking about
new sources of tax, the Commission
ers should be stressing justificable
economies which will make new taxes
unnecessary"
Federal Payment Question.
Snyder also declared he had no
hope that Congress would grant a
material increase in the Federal pay-
ment, that he did not think the de-
feat of Representative Blanton of
Texas for reelection was any basis
for hope the congressional disposi-
ton to tax the District to the limit"
would be modified.
Hazen's statement on the old Tu-
berculosis Hospital site indicates the
commissioners do not favor the pro-
poSal OF the Board of Public Welfare
that that property be converted into
an obstetrical hospital as an adjunct
to Gallinger Municipal Hospital
Hazen's view was in accord with the
request of the Board of Education
that the site be used for a new home
for Wilson Teachers College
Mrs. Phelps told the Commissioners
today Petworth citizens were opposed
in the first place to the location of
the tuberculosis Hospital in that
community, that they would resist
placing even an obstetrical hospital
there. although they were sympa-
thetfc to construction of an obstetrical
ward at Gallinger.
Mrs. Phelps also urged increased ap-
preparations for the Playground De-
partment and the community center,
funds for construction of seven addi-
tional rooms at the Roosevelt High
School and provision of a new fire
station near Rock Greek Church road
and North Capitol street.
Thomas suggested special school
tax as a means of supporting the re-
quest to the Board of Education for
q $4,000, 900 increase in its appropria-
ton.
Hazen said other departments were
in about the same situation as
schools as to needs for more money.
How about special health tax?"
he asked.
Thomas said he did not think
health needs were as urgent as
schools. and he again insisted on
adoption of a special school tax.
E. w. Deerson, American Univer-
sity Park Citizens Association, asked
that the Highway Department esti-
mate include funds for improvement
of q number of streets, including
Forty-sixth street from River road to
Massachusetts, avenue; Ellicott street,

David j. Lewis, in the congressional

He pointed out that approximately

CRATER HUNT
( N DS; POSSE
WILL DISBAND

WARMERS HOT SPRINGS, Cal,
Sept. /. Up)-The searching party
which has been sweltering for near
ly a week while seeking traces of a
prospector believed to be the miss
ing Judge Joseph Force Crater OF
New York, today was ready to dis
band.
The disbanding got under way
when two Los Angeles officers,
Capt. w. C. Allen and Lloyd Davis,
were ordered to return home. Their
instructions to cease searching came
after Lucky Blackiet, picturesque
prospector who supplied the initial
Tip" quit the posse and headed
for Hollywood to get into the mov-
les.
All that remained today were
Deputy Sheriff August Grand of
San Diego county and few news
papermen who also were ready to
call off the search.
The San Diego officer said that
he expected to stop searching also
in a short time but indicated that
posters describing the missing jurist
would be printed and circulated in
the area so that a check may be
made by residents, should the miss
ing prospector reappear.
Although he was called off the
case, Capt. Allen said he was con-
vinced that a man answering to the
description Of Judge Crater is some
where on the desert near here.
I'VE will leave further searching
to New York police and San Diego
county authorities" he said
