In a greeting to the delegates
of the third national conference
on labor legislation, President
Roosevelt today said he believed
"the country has this last week
given a mandate in unmistakable
terms to it's legislators and execu-
tives to proceed along these lines
until working people throughout
the nation and in every State are
assured decent working condi-
tionS."
The Presidents greeting to the
delegates was addressed to MY
dear friends" and was read by Sec
retary of Laoor Perkins. 1t fol
lows in part:
THE sessions of the national
conference on labor legislation
in 1884 and 1885 formulated a
program for the Ieveling upwards
of labor standards which COM
mand my whOlehearted Sympa-
thy and approval, and that of
my Administration. Further
more, 1 believe the country has
this last week given a mandate
in unmiStakable terms to its
legislators and executives to pro-
Ceed along these lines until work
ing people throughout the ma
tiOn and in every State are as
Sured decent working conditions,
including safe and healthful
places of work, adequate care
and support when incapacitated
by reason of accident, industrial
disease, unemployment or old
age; reasonably short working
hours, adequate annual incomes,
proper housing and elimination
of child labor.
IL hope that your confer
ence will give serious cOnsid-
Grafton as to how these OBJ
jectiveS may be achieved and
that when you return to your
States you will assume the
leadership in your communities
for putting the necessary leg
1SIatlOn on the statute DOCKS.
/ assure you that the federal
government is willing to do
its part in making these stan
dardS effective, and in supple
menting the efforts of the
States when problems assume
an interstate or a national
character. This coming year
should be an outstanding one
in the annals of labor legis-
latiOn."

the main body of jnsurgent troops
was kept away from the city by
a veritable blizzard of loyalist
machine-gun fire.
Loyalists troops we're urged to-
day to defend the bridges to the
last man. General Pozas, defense
leader, said:
This commanded will under
no circumstances give orders for
a retreat"
The ministry of defense issued
a communique today asserting all
insurgent attacks upon Madrid
have been repulsed.
Seven Main Bridges
The main bridges leading into
Madrid are the Andalucia, Toledo,
Segovia, Casa de Campo, Fran
cesces, Puerta de Hierra and San
Fernando, in their order from
south to southwest.
Insurgents have concentrated
their attacks on the Toledo,
Segovia and Case De Campo.
Despite a three-hour lombard
ment beginning at dawn, they
were unable to get close enough
for general hand-to-hand fighting
with the forces defending the
western bridgeheads.
Every available man in Madrid
was rushed to the important posi-
tions threatened by the enemy.
1t is possible that even though
the loyalists are driven from the
western bridgeheads, the enemy
may not be able to cross the
river.
At this time of the year, the

not easy to ford, and it would be

EFFECTIVENESS
OF WALK0UT
DISPUTED
Operators Deny Claim
65 Vessels Have
Been Tied Up

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 Q.N.SO.-
Announcement of new negotia
tions in an effort to end the mari
time strike on the Pacific Coast
aroused outlaw strikers in New
York harbor today to declare that
the Government cannot overlook
the East Coast" although coopera-
tion was promised "in any attempt
to settle the strike here on the
basis Of improved conditions"
Joseph Curran, insurgent leader
Of New York strikers, declared
that the program here was well
Defined" and that he was pre-
pared to push ahead with it, but
on behalf of the American Ship
owners Association it was denied
that the strikers had been able to
tie up the IS ships to which they
laid claim.
Claims Denied
r. j. Baker, president of the as
Sociation. said in statement:
"The extent and the strength
Of the outlaw strike movement
inStigated on the Atlantic Coast
and the Gulf by radical leaders
as q sympathy gesture toward
the West Coast have been
greatly exaggerated.
"ThiS exaggeratiOn has pro-
ceeded largely from the wild
claims made by strike leaders re-
garding the number of ships
tied up. A careful survey reveals
that following the departure of
the Oriente ton Sunday, there
were only three ships in New
York which were prevented
from sailing by lack of full
crews. The others have been
taken out of service temporarily
and have no scheduled sailing
dates"
The Oriente actually sailed
more than "a hours behind sched,
ule, with a skeleton crew and no
passengers. Striking members of
her crew were replaced by loyal
members of the International
Seamen'S Union, which is oppos-
ing the strike.
Curran, addressing 900 strikers,
at meeting here, charged that
ships now leaving New York were
manned by incompetent and in
sufficient crews"
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 9
G.N.S0.-For the first time since
$1,000 maritime workers on the
Pacific Coast quit work at mid
night October 30, spokesmen for
the union groups and shippers
were scheduled to draw up chairs
around conference table today
and attempt to negotiate their
troubles.
Word of the meeting came from
Washington, D. c., where Secre.
tary of Labor Frances Perkins,
following a telephone talk with
Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady, here to nego
tiate a peace past, made the
announcement.

Return by Train
They drove Immediately to
Judge Freeman's home where ar
rangements had been made for the
ceremony, which was performed
at once with members of the party
acting as witnesses.
Barrymore was dressed in a
dark suit. The bride wore a rust
colored suit trimmed with black
and carried black purse. Pinned
to the suit was an orchid corsage.
Because of the rough trip to
Yuma, which tired the entire
party, they took a train back to
Los Angeles leaving at l a. m.
Miss Barrie and her parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Jacobs, arrived
in Los Angeles by airplane from
New York yesterday and three
hours later they we're en- route
here. Before the ceremony, Barry
more said:
"Tm so happy, so happy. You
wouldn't be able to print it, I'm
so happy. Two weeks ago I called
long distance across the cOnti-
nent and the date was set. Ever
since / saw her l wanted to
marry her"
The tumultuouS romance of
Barrymore and his bride, who was
Elaine Jacobs before assuming the
name of Barrie for theatrical pur-
poses, began last year when Barry
more was ill in a New York hos
pital and Miss Barrie interviewed
him for a school publication.
Divorce Final
Then followed a trip on Barry
more's yacht, with Miss Barrie
chaperoned by her mother. A
series of quarrels was climaxed by
Barrymore's spectacular flight"
to Hollywood with Miss Barrie m
pursuit, announcing that persons
associated with the actor were try
ing to poison him against her.
Soon, beautiful Dolores Costello
Barrymore, the matinee idols
estranged wife, filed suit for
divorce, the decree becoming final
only 10 days ago.
At that time Miss Barrie dis
played a large diamond ring.
which she said Barrymore had
given her during their romance

Cided to pursue a stage career as
she and Barrymore no longer were
in love.

 Bribing Witness in Bar Investigation

Frank Conti, the 32-year old Wa terburian, must face trial in New Haven on charges of bribing wit- ness in the current bar investiga- tion. Judge Carl Foster in superior court has handed down rulings denying motion by Conti's coun- sel to quash the states charges and over-ruling defense demurrer.

 Cont was arrested by New Haven police after 8 lengthy investigation. He had been working as Q special investigator with the group probing the activities of lawyers in several cities in the state. He had been liv- ing in local roorning house while working with the staff of investiga- tors.

Teachers Assigned
 On Monday of this week it was
 announced at the Department of Ed
 ucation office that two members of Fthe Crosby faculty had been trans Mferred to the Leavenworth staff to
 teach Mathematics and English in mthe latter school. Due to an increase Nin registration and a lack of spare sclass rooms at the technical school, @llowever, it was announced that the MclaSs sessions would be held in two rrooms in the west wing of Crosby High school.
 The next meeting of the Board ssof Education will be held on Monday -affternoon, September 2S.
 @ Classes Crowded
 E It was explained at the time ot ri the transfer of the teachers, that the registration at Leavenworth had
 increased considerably and that ASome teachers had been forced to \; take on 8 burdensome pupil load.
 With the two additional members, Mtransferred from Crosby, the prin- -cipal at Leavenworth was able to ~divide classes into smaller groups Sand lessen the burden of teachers. ~This move also tended to increase . the efficiency of classwork by re- ~ducing the number of pupils in the ; larger classes.
 Considerable comment has been ' noised about during the past few . days, pointing to the fact that some Y changes in the arrangement are in 3; order.
 @ Criticism
 V Much of the criticism of the plan Y ecenters around the health and safety \ .saspects of the arrangement in which youngsters must walk from the Leavenworth High school on South
 Elm street to the Crosby High school V on East Main street. The crossing ' of two busy intersections is not 4 viewed with an evidence of pleasure M by parents, although the youngsters z Nseem to appreciate the time out ' sallowance for the walk. If the v weather is indictment or zero weather \ pays a visit the enjoyment of the Fs brief walk might lose some of its ss sattractiveness.
