Unions and Hotels
Still DeadIockedin
Strike Negotiations
Exchange Of 4 Wires
Fails to Reopen
PorIey

The hotels and the striking en-
ploye unions were still deadlocked
last night after an exchange Of four
kilograms failed to bring about re-
sumption Of negotiations on the
strike affecting two hotels and
threatening eleven others.
The Hotel Association, according
to w. M. Kochenderfer, an otncer.
maintains that the kilograms from
the union asking for an appoint
ment to continue negotiations were
not authorized by the local joint
executive board, representing the
three striking locals Of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Interna-
tional Alliance and Bartenders In
ternational League Of America, and
designated by the National Labor
Relations Board to be the bargain
ing agency.
Want Direct Request.
I'VE want a direct request from
the group that walked out on tho
negotiations last Monday" Mr..
Kochenderfer explained. '"The two
exchanges of kilograms have been
an effort to get us together on the
basis suggested by the Labor De-
partment conciliator."
Samuel Levine, attorney for the
unions, contended that the tele-
grams were backed by the inter-
national ONCE of the union. The
second telegram, he said, was signed
by M. Garriga. international vice
president, who has come to Wash
ington to attempt settlement Of the
controversy.
Position "Untenable."
His first telegram, he said, was
sent to the Is hotels which are par
TALLY unionized. The message said
the position assumed by the hotels
In refusing to consider negotiating
on the closed shop, principal point
at issue, was "untenable and out of
keeping with the purpose Of the
conciliator's request" for the con-
tinuation Of negotiations. The
telegram requested a reply by pm,
stating q place mutually agreeable
for resumption of negotiations.
Mr.. Kochenderfer, however, said
the methods Of negotiation were not
discussed in the exchange Of tele-
grams and added that the Hotel
Association had every intention of
picking up the negotiations where
it left of. the point at which the
closed shop issue arose.
The second kilograms in both
cases were reiterations of the first,
with the hotels sending the last
answer.

421,000 TO Undergo
Field Training in
Army This Year
Considerable Increases
In Funds Due to Be
Asked. Craig Soys
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Some 421 900 officers and men, War
Department officials estimated yes
terday, will undergo intensive field
training this year in probably the
largest scale maneuvers the Army
has undertaken in peacetime.
A record $689,391 was earmarked
in the War Departments annual ap-
preparation for the bulk of expenses
and Gen. Malin Craig, chief of staff
said Congress probably would be
asked for considerable increases"
ManeuverS involving large bodies
OF troops, air forces and teaming
with the Navy are essential, Gen
Craig told a House committee, to
prepare the Army "to execute its
mission in national defense"
War games of the First Army, one
Of the four major units into which
the Nations land defense forces are
divided, will involve the largest num-
ber of men. Approximately $4,000
regulars and National Guardsmen
will be concentrated at Plattsburg
N. Y, August 1927. and about $4,000
at Manassas, Va, August SIG.
Industrial Area Defense.
Maneuvers of the First Cavalry
Division of Texas will test the de-
fense of an undisclosed industrial
area against air raids and a Joint
exercise with the Navy and Marine
Corps will be directed toward re-
pelling a simulated landing on the
Pacific Coast by a hostile sea force.
Added to these and other field
maneuvers for the regulars. guards
men and reservists are the annual
summer citizens military training
camps and the field training given
selected college students in the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps.
Already this year, troops In
Panama and the Philippines have
tested defenses of their outposts in
maneuvers under simulated war
conditions. The Army's Sd Divi-
sion will stage a division maneuver
at Fort Lewis, Wash, in May. The
remainder of the important field
exercises are carded after July l..
Most Expensive Training.
The War Department earmarked
1882 $50 for extra expenses for the
years training, plus $1O6,74l for
transporting officers and men, and
100000 for expenses of the par
ticipation of four National Guard
divisions in the 1st Army maneu-
VerS.
These full Army war games are
much the most expensive of all
field training because of the num-
bers of men involved. In addition
to the National Guard outlay, Off
Gals estimated $4,000 would be
required for expenses of the regu-
lars.
An extra $4,000 was budgeted for
cost of the air raid defense of an
industrial city, aside from normal
expenses OF the troops and planes
The most spectacular of military
Jnaneuvers, this exercise is expected
to result in the Armys heaviest con-
centration Of anti-aircraft artillery
in addition to employment of 200
or more warplanes.

Liquor Store Robbed
Following Order
ToFake Address
Two Bandits Get $l00;
Plan to Loot Other
Places Seen

Two armed colored men, who, po-
lice believe, set out to rob several
liquor stores. apparently were salts
fled with their first haul because
the other stores were not disturbed.
Victims of the hold-up were Mr..
and Mrs. Benjamin Auerbach, whose
liquor store at 1911 North Capitol
street was robbed of an estimated
500.
The bandits, according to Mr..
Auerbach. entered the store after
the delivery boy had been sum-
moned to deliver two cases of beer
and quart of whisky in half an
hour. The proprietor said he was
suspicious and sent the boy imme-
diately.
Address a Fake.
The delivery boy. returning after
the holdup, said the address was a
fake and he had run into several
delivery boys from other stores seek
ing the same house Police believed
the bandits were preparing to rob
other stores and had called the boys
out SO there would be fewer employees
in the store when they attempted
their holdups.
Mr.. Auerbach said the bandits,
one of whom wore dark sun glasses,
pushed him against the counter and
then ordered him to go behind it
and lie on the floor. One robber
held him down at gun point while
the other attempted to open the
cash register.
The wife of the proprietor, fright
ened by the bandits threats to shoot
her husband, finally showed the
man at the cash register how to
open it. The bandits left with the
days receipts and Mr.. Auerbachs
wallet. 1t was the second time the
store had been robbed within the
year.
Holdup Admitted.
A 29-year-old colored man, de-
scribed by police as narcotic ad-
dict, was being held for investiga-
ton at the Second Precinct last
night after police said he signed a
written confession admitting he had
held up and robbed Richard LLOYD,
a Rutherford, N j., insurance execu-
tive Wednesday night.
The man was taken to the pre-
clnct yesterday by Officers j. T.
White and P. S. Ball when his wife
complained that he hat become un-
ruly and threatened to kill her. The
officers said they noted he answered
the description given by Mr.. Lloyd
and that on being questioned he
admitted forcing Mr.. Lloyd to drive
from Seventh and Rhode Island
avenue NV, where the insurance
man had been sitting in his car
writing letter, to Fifth and S
streets NV. where Mr.. Lloyd was
robbed of $25.
