LEOPARD MEN
OF LIBERIA
TO FACE
DEATH

MONTROVIA. Liberia, Aug. IL.
Government forces opened a
campaign in the wild Cape Mount
section of northern Liberia today
TO wipe out the dreaded society
CT leopard men.
They anrDted 80 members of
the .oeiety. including George Cain,
a civilized Americo-Liberian or one
whose blood is a mixture Of that
of native Negroes and of American
Negroes who helped colonize Lib
eria in the early 1905.
For months, the government had
feared to enter the section where
the society members, dressed in
leopard skins, have killed scores
of natives.
The natives though the men
supernatural. But the government
charged that Game went to the
Cape Mount district to operate COT
fee farms, and, finding no labor
available. organized the leopard
men" It's purpose was to control
natives through terror and mystery,
and get free labor.
The government decided to act
when two witnesses who had seen
the leopard men died my3teriously.
Col T. f. Davis, Liberals fiercest
fighter, was given orders to stamp
out the leopard men,. He went to
Cape Mount, took his time accumu-
lating evidence. Then he arrested
Game and his men.
Gaines associates were imprisoned
at Roberts Port, Cape Mount. Game
himself was sentenced to deporta-
ton to Bassa his native town in
southern Liberia.

.15O STEAMF|TTERS
STRIKE AT CAPITOL
WaIkout Threatens te
Spread to Other Federal
Jobs Here.

With threat that the walkout
will be extended to all Federal Jobs IN
Washington, 125 to $50 steamfitters
and helpers employed en- the $4,000 900
air-conditioning job at the Capitol, the
Senate Office Building and the two
House Office Buildings, and installa-
ton of the refrigerating plant in the
Capitol power plant, were called of
the job at II am. today.
The strike was ordered by John M.
Bolts, representing the Steamf1tters
and Helpers Association, Labor Union
SOP. The strike resulted from employ
ment of four non-union men, who are
receiving the prevailing wage rate,
from NJ. H. Pagenhardt, an open shop
contractor. .
Pagenharot, who has been working
for more than year on Capitol con-
tracts, was the low bidder on a $39, 900
job for installing new steam headers
and boilers in the power plant.
This job has no relation to the in
stallation of the conditioning sys-
tenn being put in the Capitol by the
York Manufacturing Co.
David Lynn. architect of the Cap
itol, has arranged for conference this
afternoon Of representatives of all
parties concerned. He emphasized
that Pagenhardt was the low bidder,
is paying the prevailing wage rate, is
not in any way connected with the job
on which the union steamfltters are
employed by the York Co. and that
he has been fulfilling contracts at the
Capitol for more than a year without
objection from the union.
The installation Of the air condition
ing system in the Capitol and Senate
and House Office Buildings seems to
have been linked" from the start.
Architect Lynn was first called on to
submit estimates for the work within
three or four days so that the estimates
were largely guess. After walls in the
four buildings had large holes torn in
them it was found out that the ap-
preparation was insufficient because
prices had increased. The project had
to be delayed until deficiency appro-
prlation was granted.
Since then there have been two
strikes by the Steamfitters and Helpers
Union. The first. several months ago,
because laborers employed to place the
pipes in the trenches had placed some
of them together in way which the
union men claimed was an infringe
ment on their job.

Indications that President Roose-

of the House Rules Committee, who
expressed the belief there would be no
extra session two weeks ago, said he
has changed his mind and now feels
very sure" there will be a special ses-
sion beginning about the middle of No
vember.
As the President completed work on
his radio speech of tonight, assurance
was given at the White House that a
tax bill will be reported out in the
House at the next session. The meas
ure is expected to provide for modifca-
tions and adjustment in the undis-
tributed profits and nuisance taxes, but
is not expected to provide any new
ones.
House Leaders on Way Back.
O'Connor made his announcement
as he, Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Committee
and Representative Vinson of Ken
tucky returned to the Capitol from a
conference at the White House.
1t also was stated on reliable au-
thority that Speaker Bankhead and
House Leader Rayburn are on their
way back to Washington.
Doughton and Vinson were supposed
to have been talking with the Presi-
dent as special subcommittee on tax
legislation. Vinson also Is chairman

President Works on Talk.
The subcommittee which will do
the preliminary work is headed by
Vinson and will meet about the first
week in November.
There will be public hearings, but
it has not been decided whether these
will be conducted by the subcommit-
tee or the full committee.
The President was still busily en-
gagged this morning putting the finish
ing touches to tonights radio address.
Probably no utterances he has de-
livered recently has been looked for
ward to with more interest than this
