SOVIET SABOTAGE
LINKED TO REICH
Engineer Confesses Wrecking to
Help Germany Recover
Power"
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. January 26.-Alexander
Stein, German mining engineer. testi-
fled today at the trial Of II confessed
Trotzkyist plotters he engaged in
Siberian sabotage to help Germany
recover her former power" in the
Soviet Union.
The 55-year-old engineer, first
foreign witness in the trial, declared
through an interpreter he received
his instructions through another Ger
man, named FleSser, who told him:
Germany had to recover her former
power so Germans in the Soviet Union
had to engage in wreckage so as to in
crease German strength and give her
q free hand.
FIesser relayed the wreckage orders,
Stein testified. after receiving them
from "a person in an official position
in the U. S. S. R., who would help us
in case of failure"
Stein testified his activities were
regulated by A. A. Shestoff, one of the
Russian defendants, who has con-
fessed to plotting overthrow Of the
Stain government. Shestoff con.
firmed the Germans statement.
STEMS testimony followed a heated
debate between Prosecutor Audrey
Vishinsky and Vastly Ulrich, the pre-
siding Judge, over mention of "cer-
tain foreign official" In the trial.
The German engineer asserted Fles-
ser had attempted to get him to join
the Communist party and Shestoff
had obtained an application blank.
which later was refused by party Off
cials. Shestoff again confirmed the
testimony.
Stein said his wrecking activities
were centered in the coal mines near
AMER, but 'later I was reprimanded
for insufficient wrecking."
The argument between the prosecu-
tor and judge resulted In Ulrich re.
versing his previous order that evi.
dence involving foreign officials bs
heard In secret.

HOSIERY WORKERS
ASK HOUSING PLAN
Urge Congress Appropriate
$1,000, 900, 900 for Big
Project Now.
By the Associated Press.

The American Federation Of Hosiery
Workers proposed in resolution
adopted today that Congress enact i'm
mediately a long-term housing pro-
gram and appropriate mot less than
a billion dollars" to finance it.
The resolution urged preference to
communities having q decent labor
policy and offering a variety of en-
ployment opportunities" to avoid any
extension of the futile" condition now
prevalent in one-industry towns.
by housing is meant not merely
dwellings but planned neighborhoods, I"
1t asserted.
Alexander McKeown, federation vice
president, called attention to the auto
mobile workers strike, asserting it was
evident strikers could not depend sole
ly on the Government to enforce COL
lective bargaining.
Don't count too much on Govern
ment assistance" he urged.
Leaders Of the federation took a
definite stand on the side of John
l.. Lewis Committee for Industrial
Organization in its breach with the
American Federation of Labor.
Raising of q $50,000 fund to help
the c. I. o. was recommended by
Emil Rieve, president, who assailed
the attitude Of A. F. of L. officials
toward the automobile workers strike.
He added, however, that IT am not
adUNnofir0 "a
leave the ranks Of the A. F. Of l."
Representative Ellenbogen, Demo.
crat. Of Pennsylvania, sponsor of Q
bill to regulate labor conditions in the
textile industry, told the delegates hi
was certain the bill is constitutions
and asserted 1t would be enacted Il
the federation made a fight for it.
George Baldanzi, vice president o!
the United Textile Workers, urged the
delegates to go all the way down the
line for c. I. o. and industrial organi-
zation."
Meantime. the National Association
OF Hosiery Manufacturers asked thu
Tariff Commission today to protec
| tIle QOmeStlc INDUSTRY from increasing
imports Of low-production- seam
less cotton hosiery from Japan.
Earl Constantine, representing thu
association. told the commission at 6
hearing: The factor of low labor cost
which accounts for the lower price,
Of the Japanese products, is one which
cannot be met by the American manu-
facturer without destroying the pres.
ent American standard of living"
He said hosiery imports from Japar
OF type comparable to the American
product increased from 27l 900 dozer
pairs in 1884 to an estimated 2,125 ,O0C
dozen pairs last year. He said a 81
per cent duty increase-the maximum
possible under the 1880 tariff law
would not equalize the difference be.
tween production costs in the Unitec
States and Japan.
Even by such an increase, he said, tn.

ucts in this country would be Is pc

sideration of the Kennedy BILL" said
Mrs. Norton. There will be no fur

classes of detectives in the Police De-
partment.

expected to be added to the list. The
District Committee Is scheduled to
hold two meetings in the meantime,
and some Of the members hope to
have reported out favorably the nom

CHICAGO ELECTRICAL
STRIKE THREATENED
Aldermen Plan Appeal to Legisla-
ture for Funds to Meet
Pay Demands.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 26.-Chicago
aldermen considered yesterday an ap-
peal to the Legislature to avert a
threatened strike of 800 municipal
electrical employees.
Legislative action empowering the
city to raise additional funds to meet
the electricians demand for restora-
ton of a depression pay cut appeared
to be the only alternative the city had
to a cessation Of municipal power.
In a demonstration Of what the
strike would mean, the electricians
walked out for almost three hours Fri
day night, cutting of street and traf-
fic lights. leaving arterial bridges
raised and endangering the fire and
police alarm systems.
A truce, originally agreed upon until
today, was extended until Tuesday by
business agents Of the two union locals
involved, while the city considered
means of meeting the union demand
for a pay roll boost Of approximately
$l92, 900 this year.
