Coercion Claimed.
In the case of st. Mary's, Senator
Burke declared Harry T. O'Brien,
editor of the Daily Press, was sum-
moned before the board, grilled for
several hours "and literally forced to
answer questions concerning both the
news items and the editorial policies
Of his paper"
According to the Senator, Mr..
OBrien was questioned about con-
tributed article his paper had pub
lished containing arguments against
the Committee of Industrial Organi-
cation, the editor explained, Senator
Burke said, that the article was con-
tributed by a citizen of the town who
was not employed by the company
whose case the board was considering.
Senator Burke charged the exam
ining attorney with then questioning
Editor O'Brien about his reasons for
writing certain editorials.
I'm general I am opposed to the
c. I. o." Senator Burke quoted the
editor as replying
Senator i1atch, Democrat, of New
Mexico read excerpts from an article
by David Lawrence, discussing steps
being taken in Congress to cut the
appropriations of the board.
The substance of the quotation was
that those who dislike the law should
seek amendment of the act, but not
cripple the agency by curtailing its
funds
Senator Burke said he agreed that
the agency should not be hampered
by inadequate funds.

Just before the hearing adjourned

came to the boards defense a second

the Richmond Times-Dispatch in an

Labor Board infringement on freedom
Of the press.
The editorial contended freedom o1
the press was not involved in either
the Barclay or O'Brien incidents, ar.
guing that the boards purpose ir
calling the editors was to find out
from their testimony whether there
had been any violation of the labor
law by other persons.
Senator Burke replied, however
that q similar defense had been made
by the Labor Board, and he called Il
"an excuse 50 flimsy that 1t will moi

In closing his presentation Senator
Burke said the present subcommittee
probably could proceed with an in.

damage at nearly million dollars

its control over Its soldiers "in such
a way as will serve effectively to pre-
vent the repetition of such outrages." :"
Some Of the incidents, reported by
Consul General Gauss at Shanghai,
occurred since the promise Of japanese
respect for American rights, the note
declared.
American Ambassador Joseph c.
Grew at TOXIC informed the de-
partment that the latest note had led
to the dispatch Of two representatives
Of the Japanese war office to prevent
injury to the rights and property Of
foreigners in the Marking area. Both
officers have had diplomatic expert

ION December 13." Gauss wrote,
they pulled down the American flag
from a junk belonging to an American
hospital and threw it into the river.
The governor Of the hospital rescued
the flag and took 1t to two japanese
commanders. The Japanese COM
manders expressed regrets.
About the same day they broke
into the Methodist Mission School and
ordered the caretaker to haul down
the American flag; then, disregard
ing a Japanese military poster for
bidding them to enter. they went in,
searched the building and blasted
open the school safe.
Further information was to the
effect that Japanese soldiers, on en-
tering Wuhu, committed depredations;
that certain mission property on two
nights was entered by japanese look
ing for women and jewelry: that they
found neither and little was taken
away: that q drunken soldier bran
dishing his sword at an American
woman missionary who was trying to
protect the Chinese gateman, but, in
the face Of her courage, he desisted
and no harm was DONE"
Gauss said the Japanese Consul
General at Shanghai reported ina

Maj r. s. Buck Says Niagara Ice Jam
Was unprecedented"

Maj. R. S. Buck, who supervised
construction of the famous Honey
moon Bridge over Niagara River 40
years ago, today termed "unprece-
dented" the ice jam which caused the
bridge to collapse.
The distinguished engineer has
helped create a number of bridges,
but he loved none better than the one
which spanned the upper gorge of the
Niagara.
But we didn't call it Honeymoon
Bridge" he said Il hate that word.
1t was Just bridge. and good one,
too"
The major recalled that three years
after the bridge was built an ice jam
threatened it, but the pressure was
soon relieved and it was thought that
no jam would be sufficient to wreck
the l,200-foot bridge.
