War, Mrs. Rose Laikin would still
be paying attention to her dress
making instead Of planning today
what she will do with $4,000.
The story Of Frank Laikin's
wooden leg is as complicated as
that.
DIED IN VIENNA
Laiken and his wife parted
many years ago. In Vienna he died
In 1929 under the assumed name
Of Noach Goldberg.
The Polish consul, named to
administer his estate, found lit
tie to administer except Goldberg's
wooden leg. He was going to sell
that along with a few other odds
and ends when his vice consul,
who was one-legged, decided that
maybe he could use q spare limb,
and tried on the late Goldberg's.
MONEY REVEALED
In the adjusting process he
touched a hidden spring and from
the hollow center, up popped SO
thousand dollar bills.
Mrs. Laiken in New York heard
about it, convinced the Polish con.
sui in New York and legal action
was begun.
Today her successful contest was
revealed in the filing Of q report

that Mrs. Laikin already had re-
ceived $45,00O Of the $4,000. Two

DIES DEMANDS
PUBLIC PLEDGE
ON SIT-D0WNS
Texan Asserts Secret
Lewis Promise Made
To White House
international News Service

Still claiming the President has
the pledge of the Committee for
Industrial Organization not to en-
ploy the sit-down technique In
the future, Representative Martin
Dies CD Of Texas, went before
the House Rules Committee today
to press action on his resolution
providing for an investigation Of
sit-down strikes.
Informed that John L. Lewis
had professed Ignorance Of such
information reaching the Presi.
dent, Dies said:
Il repeat-C. /. o. leaders, In
Guiding John l.. Lewis. have
sent out instructions to their
lieutenantS not to employ sit
down strikes in the future, and
the President has been so in
formed.
"Mr. Lewis, in his statement,
Is evasive. He did not answer
my assertion and he knows it
is true.
TO DEMAND ACTION
"Until both factions Of labor
have renOunced sit-dOwn strikes
/ shall continue to press my resO.
luton, calling for a thorough
airing Of this whole unlawful
business"
Dies had previously predicted
that within week all organized
labor would renounce Sit-down
strikes, thus making congressional
action unnecessary.
As the leader of House sit-down
foes, Dies praised President viii.
liam Green, of the American
Federation, for denouncing the sit.
down, and demanded that the
President and c. I. o. leaders
make public C. I. O.'s decision to
abandon them.
House Bill Pending
He continued:
1--WE have a law on our statute
books now which would empower
the President, in my opinion, to
step in and stop these Sit-dOwn
strikes. An 1879 statute plainly
states the President is EN-.
pOwerered to intercede where
there is domestic violence in the
States and State authorities re.
fuse to act" #r .
Dies is the author of a pending
bill which would amend the anti

One point, however, was re-

The messages from these sta

According to reports reaching
police, many Japanese colonlStS

where he is held on a charge Of

thing except the radio equipment.
The elderly suspect Suavely in

rented it. He said:

Abo said the radio equipment,
which investigators described as

mess boy aboard the U. S. S,
Oregon at one time, but added
that he had lived most Of his life

LOS ANGELES, March 81 GIN.
s.. With one japanese in
custody, another near death, and
vital military and naval docu-
ments under seizure, Federal men
today opened investigation into
an asserted international eSpion-
age plot.
The Investigators started I'M
raveiling piece by piece the
oriental mystery surrounding
what is thought to be a strategi-

quarters.
The asserted "Spy den" was
discovered on a routine inveStiga-
ton of what appeared to be just

street near the house police found
a critically stabbed japanese, who
gave his name as T. OniShi, 40.
They arrested a countryman.
The suspect said he was Bucihiro

Vital Secrets Discovered
Breaking into the double-locked

viate the underlying causes" OF
industrial discomfort. He said that
this court interference, or injunc.
tions against the act, prevented the
National Labor Relations Beard
from coping with events which LED
up to the General Motors and
Chrysler strikes.
ASSailS Court Moves
He charged that in the General
Motors strike the Eighth Circuit
Court "enjoined the board from
trying to get the facts" and thai
an injunction suit filed by Gen.
eral Motors made further negotia,
tions impossible. Almost the same
blockadeS were thrown down by the
Chrysler Corporation when the
board attempted to settle its labor
troubles, Wagner added.
He asserted that the recent great
industrial controversies have be-
come a national problem requiring
a national remedy, and blamed the
growth of the sit-down strike
method on the failure of industrial
leaders to abide by the law. He
said:
"The organized and calculated
and cold blOOded sit down
against Federal law has come,
as always, not from the common
people, but from a few great
vested interests. The uprising
of the common people has come,
as always, only because Of a
breakdown in the ability Of the
law and our economic system
to protect their rights.
TN some of these strikes, the
Sit-dOwn technique has evolved,
IS mass picketing and other
techniques evolved in the past.
Whether or not a particular
technique is wise or foolish as q
matter of pure industrial policy
is not for me to say. What tech
niqueS will be approved by the
law of the future no man in the
world can say.

SIT-DOWN PROTEST
But in the current situation
these all-impOrtant facts stand
out above all others: The sit

test against repeated violations
of industrial liberties which
Congress has recognized.
"The sit-dOwn, even in the few
cases where labor has used it eff.

ming for labor only such indus

BARGAINING
IS HARD NUT
FOR MURPHY
Dewey to Plead With
c, |. O. Chief to Yield
TO compromise
Nv JAMES L. KILGALLEN


LANSING, Mich, March 81
IN.S).-With Governor Frank
Murphy's peace parley put off
until Friday, when Walter P.
Chrysler and John L. Lewis can
again face each other across the
conference table, it was evident
today that settlement Of the
Chrysler automobile strike is a
man's-sized job.
It is proving a harder nut" for
Governor Murphy to crack than
the General Motors dispute, which
he succeeded in ending after eight
days and eight nights Of nego-
tiations.
Chrysler has been obdurate; so
has Lewis. So far as is known they
haven't budged much on the one
and only issue-the extent Of col
lectivs bargaining.
ChrySler Holds Gus
In spite of the negotiations
which have taken place in the past
week. it is understood that ChryS-
ler still stands on his original
statement in agreeing to come
into Governor Murphys confer
ence. He then told the governor
in telegram that he wanted it
understood he would bargain with
all groups but that he would not
bargain exclusively with any one
group.
Lewis and the United Automo-
bile Workers Union demand that
Chrysler agree to give the U. A. ".
the right to have the sole bargain
ing privilege for all Of Chrysler's
$1,000 employees.
The conferees at the Murphy
parley, when it adjourned last
night were still trying to find words
that would permit Lewis to back
away from the exclusive bargain
ing demand and still give Lewis a
veto of any agreement that ChryS-
Ter might make with any other
group.
Language Puzzle
One Of the things that is pre-
venting the confereeS from reach
ing an agreement is their inability
to find any language that would
give Lewis the veto and at the
same time satisfy Chrysler that
the agreement did not give Lewis
exclusive bargaining.
ChrySler wants to run his plants
once the issue is settled. He feels,
according to those close to him,
that once the issue is settled it
should be settled for good. It was
pointed out that even though the
General Motors reached an agree
ment with the U. A. w. Sit-doWn
strikes have since broken out in
various G. M. plants. ChryS-
Ter does not want this to happen
if he makes an agreement with
U. A. w.
I'LL yS1CT 1c1J 1OI NCW 4O4A 4doI
night. So did James F. Dewey,
Federal labor conciliator.
Murphy Confident
Dewey will return with Lewis
from New York. On the way back
Dewey will do all he can to per-
Suade Lewis to compromise on the
collective bargaining issue.
There is a possibility Chrysler
may not be able to get back to
Lansing before Saturday. In that
event the conference will not be
reconvened until Saturday, be-
cause it is believed the whole situa-
ton cannot be settled until ChryS-
Ter ans Lewis again face each
other.
Governor Murphy reiterated to-
day that he is certain the strike
will be settled at the present con.
ference.

COAL PARLEY
SPEEDED AS
PACT ENDS
Contract Expires at
Midnight; Decision
Due Tomorrow

NEW YORK, March 81 QNS0.
Eastern mine operators and repre-
sentatives of the United Mine
Workers of America went into an
eleventh.hour bargaining session
here today to determine whether
there is to be a stoppage Of work
by 100000 miners in the soft coal
fields or continuation under, a new
contract or by an extension Of the
present one.
The present two-year contract
expires at midnight. Sometime to-
morrow, while miners are celebrat-
ing their annual holiday, com.
memorating the winning of the
eight-hour day in 1898, they will
receive their orders.
The miners have asked a 30-hour
week to replace the existing 35-
hour week, wage increases approXi-
mating Is per cent, guarantee OF
200 working days a year at basic
daily wage rate Of So, two weeks
vacation with pay, and time and a
half for overtime. Operators have
proposed a 40-hour week with no
increase in wages.
That the Federal Government
regards the situation with gravity
was indicated by the presence Of
Assistant Secretary Of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady.
McGrady will not take part in
today's committee session, but
will keep President Roosevelt
closely informed as to develop
mentS.
McGrady Ready
McGrady told International
News Service:
II am holding myself in readi-
ness to step in If I am needed,
but both sides seem to be carry
ing on without trouble at the
present time"
Following a comparatively short
session yesterday, maze Of con-
flicting reports circulated, but con-
ferees were silent.
One report said a tentative
agreement had been reached and
was being held up pending sena.
torial action on the Guffey-Vinson
coal stabilization bill. Another re-
ported that the union had recon
sidered its demands and would
concentrate primarily on increased
wages. A third affirmed there was
a hopeless deadlock and a strike
was probable.
Yesterdays session was cut
short by the departure of Presi-
dent John L. Lewis and his aides,
Philip Murray and Thomas Ken
nedy, for Harrisburg, Pa, where
Kennedy, who is lieutenant gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, was given
testimonial dinner by the Penn
sylvania state Federation OF
Labor.
Extension Possible
The three returned to this city
Immediately after the dinner and,
assisted by Van A. Bittner, presi'
dent of the Charleston (W. Va
union district will debate the wage
problem with operator representa-
tives Duncan c. Kennedy, Charles
P. O'Neill and L. T. Putnam.
Members of the full joint con
ference, numbering 800, have been
instructed to be available at a mo
ment'S call today. Whatever Sc
tion is taken by the subcommittee
must be ratified by this group.
If no new contract is drawn up
the alternative to a strike is an
extension of the existing pact. An
extension, union SpokeSmen have
pointed out, would be partial vic
tory for operators since it would
allow them to prepare for eventu
alities by increasing their stocks
The Appalachian contract serves
as basic agreement for the entire
industry.
