AKRON, Ohio, November 10
Bombs shattered porches of three
homes and imperiled at least 10 lives
today as a result, Detective Gilbert
Moseley said, of labor trouble among
rubber workers.
The early morning blasts shook
widely separated neighborhoods and
broke windows in nearby dwellings.
Occupants of the wrecked homes
ran into the streets. None was in
jured.
The explosions occurred at the
houses of Joseph Childs, General Tire
& Rubber Co. employe; John r. Hoff-
man, non-union Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co. employe, and Gayle B.
Gault, Ward Baking Co.
Notes, police said, warning them
to LAY of our union" were found
in mail boxes at the Childs and Gault
homes None was left at Hoffman's.
Police Sergt. Jasper Mckinney said,
"I believe this was the work of anti
union men who left the notes to
throw us of the track"
Oval Stout, general employe and
member of the United Rubber Work
ers Of America, living next door to
Hoffman, told Detective Howard e.
Turner he believed the bomb placed

Rear Admiral Gary T. Grayson, re-
tired, chairman Of the American Red
Cross, served as chairman Of the In
augural Committee for the first inau-
guration of President Roosevelt. 1t Is
considered doubtful, however. that
Admiral Grayson would be able to &C
cept the Craftsmanship again due to
the press Of other duties. However,
his name Is on . list Of prominent
Democrats which has been recon-
mended to the President.
Others on this list are Joseph Z.
Davies, Joseph J. Cotter and George
A. Garrett. Davies and Cotter are
attorneys here and Garrett Is of the
firm Of Hartman, Keech & Co.,
brokers.
The name Of Malcolm s. McConihe,
Democratic national committeeman
for the District, has also been sug-
gested for the craftsmanship by many
of his friends. McConihe. however,
takes the position that Democratic
honors In the District should be
spread around, and he Is not can
didate for the ONCE.
The names of the two civilian Com
missioners, Melvin C. Hazen and
George E. Allen. have been mentioned,
and Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary
of the Senate. also has been men
toned. The choice of an inaugural
chairman, however, has usually fallen
on a citizen Of the District outside Of

the Capitol probably would not per-

While the details Of the inaugural
ceremonies have not been worked out,
the word Is being passed that the
President Is anxious that 1t shall be
as simple as possible. The probabilt-
ties are, it was said today. that there
will be no inaugural ban. although
that is not finally determined. There
will be a parade.
Because of the great enthusiasm

may be dificult to keep the inaugura-

SAN FRANCISCO. November 10
A new conflict between maritime
workers and shipowners arose In Hon
olulu today to harrass Government
efforts to end the spreading Pacific
Coast maritime strike.
In . mass meeting 1000 maritime
workers in Honolulu agreed early to-
day to return seven strike bound ships
to the Pacific Coast from Hawaii If
union longshoremen were used exclu-
sively and II Hawaiian waterfront
workers are included In future nego-
tiations.
Demands Held Impossible.
Agents for the Matson Line, which
owns five of the ships, Immediately
replied:
That Is out of the question.
"A majority Of the dock workers
here are not union men and don't
want to join. This Is An attempt to
force unionisn down their throats."
Hawaiian ports Of Honolulu and Hilo
have been the only major Pacific nom
union lOngshore ports since the coast
wide 1894 strike. William Craft, In
ternational Longshoreman's Associa-
ton organizer, reported sl9 of Homo
!ulus $50 waterfront workers are
members Of the I. L. A., and $50 are
union men In Hilo.
Tie-up Prolonged.
The deadlock threatened to indeti-
nitely prolong the tie-up. since the
return of ships from Hawaii has been
one Of the key questions in resuming
negotiations here.
Union action was taken after the
Joint Policy Committee in San Fran
cisco. representing $1,000 strikers in
seven unions, repeated cabled in
structions to return the ships.
Further uncertainty was added to
the situation by court actions In three
continental ports.
