sell Richardson files suit for di-
vorce from Wanda Richardson. Pc
tition states they were married
June S, 1897. and have one child
Plaintiff states his employment for
the past year has required him to
be from home about three days each
week, and during his absence de-
fendant has not spent the necessary
time about their home to properly
care for their child, and her ordi-
nary household duties. He also al
leges that plaintiff has said she no
longer cared for him. On Aug. IL,

the home which they established,

apart from him. Plaintiff asks for
divorce and custody of their child,
aged two years.

ant for damages on said tractor,
that commissioners would for a pc
riod of time sufficient for plaintiff

Federal Policies Of
Last Seven Years
United Action Toward .
Solving Problems
Is Demanded
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 5.-Sharp
| criticism of the National Govern
ments industrial and social economy
policies OF the last seven years was
contained today in a statement
issued here by a group Of American
Federation Of Labor leaders.
In a report entitled "A Call for
United Action" the group declared
"the hour has come for Americans
to recognize the dangers that con-
front them, and to join in united
effort to halt the drift toward
national insolvency, industrial COL
lapse and the extension of oppor-
tunity for the Americans of to-
morrow"
The statement bore the names of
William L. Hutcheson and Matthew
Woll, first and third vice presidents,
respectively, of the A. F.. L., and
seven other labor leaders.
Many of them are here attending
a mid-winter conference of the
Federation's Executive Council, to
whose attention the report was di-
rected.
Describing many of the Govern
ment's policies as an experiment" !"
the statement declared. that "inno-
vation after innovation have fol-
lowed upon each other SO fast and
furiously that only a trained few
could keep abreast of changes"
If, after seven years, the situa-
ton of labor, industry and agri-
culture had materially improved,
if happiness and progress, hope and
confidence had resulted" the state
ment continued, I'VE could con-
clude that the experiment had been
worthwhile.
Instead, we find labor torn into
warning camps. We find industry
depressed and capital on a strike.
We find ten millions of America s
workers unemployed. We find
youth discontended and age discour-
aged.
I'VE find not only widespread
material sufferings, but in every
walk of life We find fear for the
great intangibles of America, fear
for the liberties that Americans have
cherished for more than a century
and a half"
1t then criticized the National La
Dor Relations Board and its admin
istration of labor problems and held
that labor strife was the inevitable
result"

SEATTLE. Feb. 5.-The Du-
vanish Indians laid claim today
to the land on which the City Of
Seattle stands.
The city rightfully belongs to the
Duwamish Tribe as a reservation,
Chief Peter James explained. But
the Indians don't want it back All
they want is S3,076,800 cash and
the whites can keep the city with
all of its skyscrapers.
Chief James said the Indians
based their claim on the treaty Of
1850, which promised to provide the
tribe with reservation. The
treaty was signed by Gov Isaac I.
Stevens Of Washington Territory,
but he went to war and was killed,
Chief James said, and its provisions
never were carried out.
Before the arrival of the white
man, the Duwamish claimed all of
