A former official of the American
Federation Of Labor, McGrady par
ticipated in innumerable strike settle
ment negotiations as a representative
of labor's side. 1t was in this manner
that he gained the experience that
has made him so effective in bringing
peace to some of the major industrial
convulsions of the past few years.
I'VE found dictaphones in many
hotel room occupied by union leaders
and we found that telephone wires had
been tapped on the outside. The net
result then and now is that everybody
has to be on their guard, and it is Just
that much more difficult to get both
sides together.
Il certainly don't see any justifca-
tion for shadowing a Federal Official"
Asked if he thought any espionage of
this type is being practiced in present
negotiations for settlement of the auto
mobile strike, McGrady shrugged.
We'll, I've been out in that area and
got along all right with both the labor
crowd and the management. We
figure we're being watched sometimes,
but the men in the Cancellation service
of the department are under orders to
move discreetly and not leave them
selves open to any backfires."
During yesterdays hearing, Robert
A. Pinkerton, youthful head of the
agency, said he knew of no espionage
being directed against the labor con-
ferees, Gov. Murphy of Michigan or
the Federal corciliators. General
Motors discontinued the Pinkerton
service on January 81, he added, just
before the present conferences got
under way in Detroit.
That considerable importance was
attached to this practice in 1895,
however, is evidenced by the testi-
mony of the former Pinkerton opera

labor and the right of men to buy it,"
Involved in the litigation, he went
on. is the power of the Federal Gov
ernment to make collective bargaining
| compulsory in all industries of this
country"
I'VE challenge that power" he
shouted.
Another Davis contention was that
the act represented an "open declara-
tion to make the closed shop uni
versal and compulsory" This was de-
MED by Wyzanski.
Davis, as he swung into his argu-
ment, told the court he desired to lay
to one side" subjects irrelevant to the
case.
Collective Bargaining No Issue.
This case" he said, does not turn
In any sense upon the subject of coll
lective bargaining, its merits or de-
merits d"
THE right to combine for such a
lawful purpose has in many years not
been denied by any court. -"
What is involved here is the power
Of the Federal Government to make
collective bargaining compulsory in all
the industries of this country. We
challenge that power.
This case does not turn. in the sec
ond place, on the question whether or
not the Associated Press is engaged, as
| to some of its activities, in interstate
commerce. Some of its activities may
be conceded to constitute interstate
commerce.
1T is equally clear, as we think,
| that some of its activities do not con-
| stitute interstate commerce, and We
| think it to be clear that, as to its edi-
torial employees, their duties are no
more interstate commerce than those
of a craftsman engaged in drawing
plans for steel mill, or those Of
tenders of looms in a textile factory"
Davis said that such power as there
may be is the power that underlies this
act" and that the solicitor general
had argued that it was "bottomed
solely upon the commerce power"
I'VE assert" Davis said, that it Is
not valid exercise of the commerce
power, either in general or in its ap-
plication to the Associated Press. We
assert that the act, by its scope, OUT
runs the commerce power, and it is
an effort to regulate matters that fall
far outside that field.
Purpose of Control Seen.
II think there shines throughout
the act clear and studied purpose on
the part of Congress to bring all the
industries Of the country, so far as
language can accomplish it, within
the reach and supervision of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board"
Wyzanski, beginning his argument.
said:
"The petitioner has said that the
proviso is intended to set up the
closed shop. Mr. Fahy will deal with
that point at greater length, but
merely want to point out that the pro-
viso has no such effect.
1.-The proviso merely states that no
Federal statute other than the railway
labor act shall be considered to curtail
the power of the employer to enter
into closed shop contract.
In other words, it leaves the local
law just as it always was. If State
statute or a State judicial decision
outlaws the closed shop, this statute
does not legalize it; and If an employer
does not choose to have closed shop,
there is nothing in this act which, by
any possibility, can compel him to
have a closed shop"

CHRYSLER RAISES
WAGES OF $1,000
Average Increase Is 10 Per
Cent, Making Added Outlay
About $4,000, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, February 10. - The
Chrysler Corp. announced a wage in
crease yesterday which 1t estimated
would aggregate approximately $13,-
100000 to $14,o00,000 a year" Esti-
mates based on a previous increase last
June placed the average increase for
each employe at 10 per cent.
A company representative said about
so, 900 hourly wage workers would re-
ceive the increase. The company has
10000 employees, including clerical
workers.
Recently it announced that its total
production of passenger cars and
trucks reached 1,040, 900 units in 1896,
the first calendar year in which pro-
duction exceeded the 100000 mark.
The announcement said: I'm re-
sponse to inquiries, it was stated at
the Office of the Chrysler Corp today
that the corporation had made an in
crease today which, on the basis of last
years operations, will amount to ap-
proximately $l3,O00,o00 to $4,000, 900
year."
Other Raises Preceded.
The increase was the fourth gen.
eral advance in wages for ChrySler
employees since August, 1888, when
wage rates Of hourly workers were
advanced 20 per cent.
When 10 per cent increase was
granted in March, 1884, President
K. T. Keller announced that wages
were somewhat above" the pre-de-
preston level.
A S per cent increase on June I,
1896. for shop employees added an
estimated S5,000,000 to $6,000,0 900 to
pay envelopes. In addition, a revi-
sion OF the wage system from piece
work and group bonuses to hourly
rates was begun in March, 1884, and
completed in April, 1885. which COM
pany officials said brought increases
to most shop workers.
A company announcement said then
that the minimum rate for men, ex-
cepting apprentices, was 60 cents an
hour and for women So cents an hour.
The effect of subsequent wage in
creases on those minimums has not
been disclosed
Higher Minimum Sought.
Today John L. Lovett, manager of
the Michigan Manufacturers Associ-
alton, said he believed the objective
was a 75-cent minimum for men and
IS cents for women.
while I do not know of any gen.
eral increase now contemplated by any
other manufacturer" he said, yet
there Is a tendency to approach an
average minimum of rs cents an hour
for men and IS cents for women en-
ployes among Detroit manufacturers
generally. I believe the Chrysler wage
increase is based on this general aver
age.
1T is believed this tendency is JUS
titled by the increased cost of living
and in view of the fact that Detroit's
reputation for paying the highest
wages of any manufacturing district
in the country"
The Chrysler Corp. embraces the
Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler and De
Soto passenger car divisions, Dodge
and Plymouth truck divisions, the
marine engine division and the air.

Carnegie Illinois Workers Seek S. Min

PITTSBURGH, February 10 (P.-
Employe representatives of Is mills of
the Carnegie-Illino Corp. announced
today they have agreed to demand an
immediate general increase of 80 cents
day, establishment of minimum So

MATTSON
PRISONER hot
Ex-Convict, Held on Open
Charge, Answers Kidnaper
Description.
b the Associated Press.

~ tuC AooOCLhbCu ACoos
SEATTLE, February 10.-An ex-
convict whose arrest was termed
'hot" by one officer was fired queS-
tions today concerning the brutal
kidnap-killing of 10-year-old Charles
Mattson. Plans were rushed for wit
nesses of the abduction to confront
him.
The man, identified as James S.
Mcdonald, steadily denied any con-
nection with the crime, but William
Cole, chief of the Washington State
police, said he strikingly fitted the
bearded kidnaper's description and
his movements at the time of the kid
naping were suspicious.
'It may be just another false lead,
but it looks hot to me-" Cole said.
After the one time thief had been
questioned 10 hours. high police
official said William and Muriel Matt
son, brother and sister of the kidnap
victim, would be brought from Ia
coma to face the man. Miss Vir-
ginia Chatfield, 16, who also saw
little Charles seized December 81, at
his Tacoma home, also will be
brought here, the officer said.
Body Found Frozen.
Little Charles nude and battered
body-stabbed in the back-was found
frozen near Everett, Wash, ending
efforts of his father, DR.. w. w. Matt
son, Tacoma physician. to ransom
him alive for a demanded $4,000.
His statements termed contradic-
tory by Police Detective A. E. Kuehl,
Mcdonald was booked on an open
charge.
A high police official, who declined
to be quoted said the man gave his
name as H. A. Post, 80, when booked
after questioning and was dead
ringer" for the MattSon kidnaper.
The suspect, the official said, def
nitely was in Tacoma from December
81 to 26, but claimed he was in three
different places when the abduction
occurred December q.
When officers brought him from the
captain of detectives Office, he was
covered with hood, but it was re-
moved when he was booked. His face,
which he shielded with his hat, was
pale. Chief Cole. who ordered the
mans arrest, said Mcdonald an
swered the description of the kid
naper.
Police Detective Kuehl said Nc
Donald admitted minor robbery here
December 20 and that thereafter he
left Seattle for Tacoma and Portland,
Greg. During the hours of question
ing Mcdonald told several contra
dictory stories, Kuehl asserted.
Kuehl, Detective Richard F. Ma
honey and State Patrol Officers Joseph
McCauley and James Kuntz arrested
the man yesterday in a cheap apart
ment house near the downtown dis
trict. He had been sought since Feb
ruary on general pickup orders"
In Tacoma, Federal Bureau of In
vestigation agents expressed surprise
at the arrest and DR.. Mattson said he
had not been informed of it.
Cole said Mcdonald was seen in
Tacoma the day before the kidnapping
and had been traced to Bothell, be-
tween Seattle and Everett, some days
later.
Kuehl asserted McDonald's record
included a five-year term in San
Quentin Penitentiary, California, for
grand theft and that he had been
arrested several times since on minor
charges.

(By The Associated Press)


 SHANGHAI, Dec. "A, Japan eSe officials tonight announced that Hangchow, rich Chinese sea- port and capital of Chekiang province, a hundred miles south of Shanghai, had been captured by Japanese troops, simultaneous ly entering all gates.
 The fall of the city to the in- vaders who overran thousands of square miles of territory came as United States authorities made strong representations to the Jap anese over the reported insult to the American flag at Wuhu Dec ember 18th.
 No information was immediat- ely forthcoming on the extent of the fighting around Hangchow, but indications were that the city had capitulated to avoid bomb ing, shelling and street fighting.
 Six Americans in Hangchow were believed to be safe.
