water STRIKE

ST. LOUIS, Dec. IS G.N.S)-A
normal water supply was deliv-
cred through st. Louis mains to-
day by three of the city's four
huge pumping stations despite a
strike yesterday of 80 members of
the International Union Of Operat-
ing Engineers.
AS emergency crews were put
to work at the three pumping sta
lions, Director of Public Utilities
Edward E. Wall asserted there is
no justification In the world for
the strike" adding:
1.-THE reason for this strike is
a jurisdictional dispute between
two unions, and in no way has
any connection with the policy
of the city. We have no con-
tracts with either union, but
have recognized both"
Meanwhile, Virgil Belfi, assist
and business agent of the Operat-
ing Engineers Union, which called
the strike, announced:
1--WE will continue the strike.
We are supported by the A. F..
of L. international organiza-
ton"

WPA CUT
800 to Lose District
Jobs by Jan. |

Ross Haworth, assistant admin
istrator of the District Works Pro
eress Administration, today con-
firmed reports that District WPA
rolls will be reduced by 300 be-
fore January /.
Including both security wage
earners and supervisors, the slash
will reduce the District WPA total
from 1890 to 1880.
Haworth said the reduction will
be accomplished for the most part
by leaving untitled the position of
the 100 or more persons who on
the average leave the WPA lists
voluntarily each week, to take jobs
in private industry.
If there are any outright dis
missals, he said, they will be made
on the basis of need, that is, those
with dependents will be spared as
far as possible.

RUTH ETTINC
AGAIN UNDER
FIRE AT TRIAL
Admits Signing Wire to
Alderman As 'NutSy'

Los ELES, Dec. 10
G.N.S0.-Ruth Fitting, the Little
Lady" in the life of Col. Moe 1.-THE
Gimp" Snyder, was called back
to the witness stand today in
Superior Court, where Snyder is
on trial charged with attempted
murder Of Miss Fittings fried,
Myrl Alderman; with attempted
kidnapping, and with violation Of
the California gun law.
Miss Etting, whose direct teStl-
mony constituted the proSecu-
tons first major blast against
Snyder, was under cross examina-
ton.
At the hands of Defense Counsel
Jerry Giesler, she was being sub
jected to a merciless fire Of ques-
lions designed to bring out Sny-
der'S side Of the case.
CALM AT ORDEAL
Miss Etting was calm-almoSt
cold-as she faced the ne wordeal
of questions.
She already had made many adj
missions. She had admitted that
she and Alderman were together
much; that she cooked for him
often; that she signed for things
with the name MRS. Alderman"
Finally, that she sent him a tele-
Gro unSirninr herself as "NutSy."
Giesler, as he resumed question.
ing, pointed his queries toward
the circumstances Of the shoot
ing for which Snyder Is BENG
tried.
In opening statements to the
Jury of six men and six women
Giesler made it clear Snyder's
fight to avoid a long prison term
would be based on plea OF SELL
defense.
Early cross-examination OF Miss
Fitting was directed largely to q
fruitless attempt to question her
concerning her relations Win
Alderman. Judge Ambrose sus-
tanned objections to long list OF
questions which Giesler put IN
this vein.
"While you were at the hos
pital the week following the
shooting, did you not publicly
state you had been married to
Alderman at Tia Juana?" Gles-
Ter asked.
SITSTAINS OBJECTIONS
There was no answer because
Judge Ambrose sustained the OBJ
lection of Prosecutor Blalock.
Then Giesler asked:
Were you present at the hos
pital when Mrs. Alderman the
wounded mans former wife who
has filed a $4,000 alienation
suit aga inst Miss Ettlng)
brought the baby there?"
Again no answer and Giesler
asked finally if Miss Fitting had
not given police the name OF
"Mrs. Alderman"
To this Miss Fitting responded
that she may have doNe so be-
cause she was $50 upset"

Mr.. Early-Just that one sentence
The President-Since the 4th of

President Roosevelt threw light on
his views toward consultation with
foreign powers by making public yes
terday some remarks he made "ofl the
record" soon after taking Office.
The transcript Of presidential
press conference of May 10. 1888
after Mr.. Roosevelt had talked with
the late British Premier Ramsay Mac
Donald-showed the President advo-
Gated policy of consultation without
commitment.
An international pact providing for
such consultation was under consider
alton then, but it did not materialize
because the Disarmament Conference
of Geneva, on which it was to have
been based, failed.
Wouldn't Bind u. S.
In the 1888 press conference. Mr..
Roosevelt explained what he had in
mind:
If all the nations agreed to set up
some kind of machinery for consulta-
tion in the event of an act of agrees
sion, we will be very glad to have some
body there to consult with. l con-
slider that to be step forward.
