NEW YORK, March 11.-Leaders
of the building workers strike spurneo
peace overtures of realty interests to-
day and made plans to intensity the
walkout throughout the city.
James j. Bambrick, head OF the
Building Service Employees Union, de-
scribed as absurd" and rank treach-
cry" a recommendation made by wal
ter Gordon Merritt, counsel for the
Realty Advisory Board, that replace
ment workers hired in good faith be
retained.
That's absurd Bambrick declared.
"WeTl fight it out If it takes all
Summer"
Extension of Agreement Urged.
Merritt made his recommendation
in an address last night in which ne
proposed a three-year extension OF
the mayors agreement of 1884 and
the subsequent Curran award, and
immediate arbitration OF wages ana
further arbitration Of wage rates at
the end of the first and second years.
He added, however, that the group
which he represented would not dis
miss replacement workers hired IN
good faith as permanent employees and
would refuse to rehire strikers involved
in disorders and violence during the
walk-out.
Thus, because of these stipulations,
the opposing groups found themselves
in their customary position Of being
unable to synchronize conciliatory
moves, and possible termination of the
strike was temporarily stymied.
Predicts Extension of Strike.
Bambrick said that by tonight the
city will be in a very active state"
The men are very much on their
toes" he added. I'VE expect spontane-
Gus walk-outs all over town today"
The strike leader gave general ex-
planation of how further strike moves
will be carried out.
1T will be here and there, all over
town, in spots where buildings have
been left standing" he said.
THE union leaders have shot their
bolt and failed" Merritt said in
prophesying that by today almost nor
NAL conditions would be restored.
10000 Reported on Strike.
The Police Department, however,
estimated that 2,347 buildings through
out the city were affected. Yesterdays
drive against skyScrapers of the Times
Square and Grand Central zone added
1000 strikers, bringing the total to
10000.
The Health Department indicated
the extent of the strike in report
that BAL complaints were made yes
terday by tenants. Of which 256 said
their buildings were without heat or
that garbage was accumulating in the
halls.

One-Letter Error
Virtually Voids
Heart Balm La,U
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, March 11.-A court
ruling held yesterday that a one
letter mistake in Pennsylvania's new
heart balm" law makes 1t virtually
impossible to sue any one in the State
for alienation of affections.
The error, the use of "of" instead
of "or." passed three readings Of both
houses Of the Legislature, which in
tended to outlaw shake down" suits,
but to leave near relatives liable If
they caused a family break.
The law reads:
"All civil cases of action for aliena-
tion Of affections Of husband or wife,
except in such cases where the de-
fendant Is a parent, brother or sister.
of a person formerly In loco PARENTS
"a foster parent) to the plaintiffs
spouse, are hereby abolished
Judge John p. Egan ruled the
phrase "of q person" means those
now liable must be parents, brothers
or sisters. who also are parents, BROTH
ers or sisters of foster parent-a
very limited field. Use of cor" would
have left the near relatives liable.

PARIS BLUFF SEEN
ON LEAGUE BOLT
French Believed Attempting
to Force British to Join
Sanctions.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

- BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Diplomatic quarters in Washington
consider the French threat to bolt
the League of Nations, together with
all her allies, as a bluff which the
French government will have to play
to the bitter end.
The threat is based on the belief
in France and the other European
countries that Great Britain Is we'd
ded to the idea of maintaining the
League at any price. The fact that
Britain went so far as to consider
the possibility of war with Italy
in order to maintain the Leagues
prestige Is considered the best Illus
tration tor this belief.
OF course, the French and their
allies know that behind this devotion
to the League lay the fact that the
British Empire was afraid Of having
her route to India through the Suez
Canal interfered with by powerful
Italy. But these considerations were
never ofiicially placed before the

DUKE AWAITS
SENTENCE

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. II.
Judge Luther B. Way is expected
to pass sentence today in United
States district court on Jesse C.
Duke, former Washington attor-
ney, convicted by jury yester-
day of attempting to influence a
Federal grand jury. The maxi
mum penalty is $1,000 fine or six
months in Jail or both.
The charge, contained in an in
formation presented to the court
by District Attorney Sterling
Hutcheson, maintained that Duke
passed a sealed envelope to Joseph
L. Crupper, foreman Of the grand
jury, on December Z as the jurors
were leaving the court room to
consider charges against Duke Of
harboring Representative John C.
Hoeppel and his son, Charles, who
were sought for conspiracy to sell
a West Point appointment. Duke
was subsequently indicted by the
granQ jury.
Duke freely admitted yesterday
on the stand that he had handed
the communication to the jury
foreman, but insisted it was merely
an attempt to obtain permission
Of the jury to appear before it
and was not an attempt to influ-
ence their decision. The commu-
nication, which was not opened
until after the indictment had been
returned, was read on the stand
yesterday by Clerk of the Court
Paul w. Kear. It contained an
allegation that Duke had never
harbored Representative Hoeppel
and his son.

COP. C0NFERS
ON KEEPING
HAMILTON

HICAGO, Dec. II G.N.S0.
Members of the National Republi.
can Committee met here today to
consider the proffered resignation
of John Hamilton as G. o. P.
national chairman. He declared:
"The meeting is to consider
plans for upbuilding the party,
to map out . plan to wipe out
the 100000 deficit, and to de-
eide whether / am to continue
rs chairman"
Representative Hamilton Fish OF
New York, who is leading a move
ment to replace Hamilton, will be
given an opportunity to address
the committee, the latter said. In
this connection Hamilton said:
eff Mr.. Fish has no proxy, I
shall move unanimous consent
that he be given the floor. We
desire fullest discussion"
There was little doubt among
political observers, however, that
Hamilton'S proffered resignation
would be refused. Ralph E. Viii
IamS, of Oregon, dean of the COM
mitteemen, after conferences with
committee members, declared:
"It doesn't look as if there
will be any important opposition
to John Hamilton" 1.
Hamilton offered his resignation
after a conference in Florida with
Governor Alfred M. Landon of
Kansas, both men declaring they
deemed 1t essential to have show
down.
AS a successor to Hamilton, Fish
has suggested Carl G. Bachman,
former west Virginia Representa-
tive and Senator William E.
Borah's pre-convention manager;
Dan Morgan, Of Cleveland, and
Senators Charles s. McNary and
Frederick SteiWer, of Oregon.

on the conspiracy charge, on the
stand. His testimony was limited
by Judge Way, who ruled that the
charge against Duke was confined
to the question of whether an at
tempt had been made to influence
the jury and had no connection
with the Hoeppel case. The jury
required only minutes to return
its verdict of guilty.
Sentence was deferred to give
Duke time to file an appeal.
