Firm Stand Is Taken
By Mediation Board
In Lumber Strike
To Insist on Original
Recommendations;
Union Chiefs Called
p the Associated Press.

ire HSsotldtrN
The Defense Mediation Board
adopted a no compromise stand
Yesterday in a fight to obtain &C.
ceptance of its recommendations by
invoking President Roosevelt's proc
lamation of an unlimited national
emergency.
A terse telegram signed by Philip
Murray, president of the c. /. O.,
and a board member. and by DR.,
Clarence A. Dykstra. board chair
man. summoned leaders of strike
in the Puget Sound area numbering
industry to a conference here Tues
day.
Board members refused to dis
close what action would be taken,
but Ralph T. Seward, executive sec
rotary. asserted:
There is no chance in the world
that the board will back down 1t is
standing on its telegram of May %.
There will be no compromise.
In Seattle. o. NJ. Orion. president
of the International Woodworkers
of America, said the strike would
end only if the unions original
demands were met.
Proclamation Cited.
The message to which Mr.. Seward
referred cited Mr.. Roosevelt's proc
lamation, asked that the C. I. O.
union accept board recommends
tions and return to work, and re-
quested that the message be brought
to the attention of every one who
had power to vote on the recon-
mendations.
Mr.. Orton responded by asserting
that the recommendation had been
rejected. DR.. Dykstra thereupon
asked him again to bring the ap-
peal TO the attention of his men,
bership.
To the second message, Mr.. Orion
replied:
Recommendations of the National
Defense Mediation Board as agreed
in Washington by our committee
have been submitted to a delegated
conference of all local unions and
from there submitted to the entire
membership of locals with the right
to vote and has been Overwhelmingly
rejected"
This reply. Mr.. Seward said, had
mot answered the question"
The point at issue, Mr.. Seward
contended, was whether the appeal
had been brought to the attention
of the union. 1t was apparently i'm
possible to clear up the matter by
telegraph, he added. and for that
reason Mr.. orion and hS associates
were called to the capital conference
Held Threat to Defense.
Asked the reason for Mr. Murray s
signing the message, Mr.. Seward
said. Mr. Murray signed in his
capacity as president of the C. I. o
as well as member of the board.
The previous communications had
been signed by DR.. Dykstra alone
The strike started May 9 and the
board said that it constitutes a
serious threat to the Nations
preparations for defense"
The board recommendations pro-
posed temporary settlement which
would have granted IL cent-an-
hour wage increase, among other
things. They also provided that
any final settlements affecting wage
increases be retroactive to the date
of resumption of work called for
an investigation of the lumber in
dustry in the area as basis for final
settlement.
Employers in the 50 lodging camps
and other numbering operations
affected by the strike have agreed
to the board proposal.
Union demands include a union
shop, with a hiring hail." the III
cent wage increase and vacations

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-A
crudely-made bomb exploded in the
bleachers of Seals Stadium during
the Sacramento-San Francisco base
ball game today. but no one was in
jured.
The sharp explosion was heard by
5000 fans, who saw cloud of black
smoke drift from the center of Sec
ton H-3, three rows from the top
of the stadium. No one was within
range.
Police Inspector Ralph Lintner
found fragments, handful OF
shredded paper, few inches of in
sulated wire and burned-out fuse

Two-Thirds Of Felony
Cases Here Last Year
Reported UnsoIved
Showing Unsatisfactory,
Criminal Justice
Association Says

Citing figures indicating actual
one-third of the reported felonies"
here last year. the Washington
Criminal Justice Association, in its
fifth annual report last night said
that this showing was not salts
factory"
Dealing with Is major types of
crime, the aSsociat ton said that the
total number reported was 1851,
with 1,167 solved by verdict of guilty.
$40 by juvenile arrest and 339 listed
as open cases"
The number of actual solutions"
Albeit was explained, has been
determined by eliminating all cases
in which the accused was either not
prosecuted, was dismissed, or was
found not guilty at some point in
the criminal process because of lack
of sufficient evidence. These are not
satisfactory solutions. Technical
arrests, verdicts of not guilty. and
failure to prosecute, either by the
complainant or the prosecutor gen.
orally indicate that either the ac-
cused is the wrong individual, or
that the police and public are not
cooperating.
LAS long as only one out of every
three adult offenders is apprehended
by the police and one out of five is
actually found guilty by the court.
the efficiency of criminal justice in
Washington would seem to be func-
tioning inadequately."
Increase of 9 Per Cent.
The crimes covered in the report
represent an increase of 514, or
9.25 per cent, over the 1889 level.
but this still is below the 1867
level. The increase is less than that
indicated for most other metropol-
itan cities, and roughly corresponds
to the growth of the population of
the Capital. HOUSEKEEPING, rob-
berry. grand larceny and aggravated
assault constitute the bulk of the
serious offenses.
The study showed that serious
crime is concentrated in precincts
/, 2 and 13, an area extending
approximately from the Mall to
Euclid street and from North Cap
ital street to Rock Creek Park, and
comprising about II per cent of the
total area of the city. This, the re-
port points out, is also the business
district, adding:
THE typical crime pattern of
any metropolitan city is always con-
centrated in and around its COM
mercial activity. It is on the fringe
of this commercial section that
there is found poor housing, pow
erty. lack of recreation and SANTA
ton, overcrowding and restitution.
These factors all contribute toward
high rate of delinquency. One
third of the population live in one
tenth of the area of our city"
The report says that two-thirds
of the persons charged with crime
in 1910 were colored, although the
colored race comprises only approx
imately 27.1 of the total popula-
ton. then amplifies:
The problem of the colored
criminal in the District of Column
bia has its roots deeply interviewer

Row Over Radio Noise
Results in Shooting

An argument over a blaring radio
between two roomers at a boarding
house at 1926 Nineteenth street
NV. sent Ray Cook. 40, to Emer-
gency Hospital last night with a
bullet wound in the stomach. His
condition was described as serious.
Mr.. Cook. according to police,
was shot with Is caliber auto
matte shortly before midnight when
he allegedly refused to muffle his
radio and came to blows with
another resident who had objected
to the noise made by the set.
Third Precinct police arrested

A renewal of pledges by the United
States and China for mutual sup
port of the principle of equality of
treatment among nations put this
Government on record yesterday as
willing to give up its extraterri-
torial rights in China when peace is
restored there
Closely allied policies of their two
governments were outlined in an
informal exchange of letters be-
tween Secretary of State Hull and
DR.. Quo Tai-chi, new Chinese
Foreign Minister who is preparing
to leave the United States to as
sumo his post after a visit here while
en- route from London, where he was
Chinese Ambassador.
without reservation" Mr.. Hull
wrote, we are confident that the
cause to which we are committed
along with China and other coun-
trieS-the cause of national security,
of fair dealing among nations and
of peace with justice-will prevail. u
The SECRETARY informed the new
Foreign Minister that his assurances
of "China's support of the principal
of equality OF treatment, and nom
discrimination in economic relations
should have wholesome effect both
during the present period of world
conflict and when hostilities have
ceased"
Changing Conditions Recognized.
1T goes without saying" he added,
that the Government of the United
States, in continuation of steps
already taken toward meeting
China's aspirations for readjuSt-
ment of anomalies in its inter-
national relations, expects when
conditions of peace again prevail
to move rapidly, by processes of
orderly negotiation and agreement
with the Chinese government, to-
ward REIMBURSEMENT of the last of
certain rights of a special character
which this country, together with
other countries, has long possessed
in China by virtue of agreements
providing for extraterritorial juris-
diction and related practices"
Changed conditions since the time
when the extraterritorial rights
were acquired nearly century ago
were recognized by Mr.. Hull in
assuring DR.. Quo Tai-Chi that this
Government welcomes and encour-
ages every advance made by lawful
and orderly processes by any coun-
try toward conditions of peace, Sc
curity, stability, justice and general
welfare"
REIMBURSEMENT of the special
rights would make American citi-
zens in China subject to Chinese

R. A. F. Forces Rout
Nazi Planes Above
Mediterranean
Crete All but Lost
To Britain, Fighting
Enters New Phase
b. II E Associated Press.

CAIRO, Egypt, May 31.-With
Crete all but lost to Britain. the war
rocketed toward new phase today
IN a running battle between strong
r. A. F. forces and a cloud of
German warplaneS high above the
sapphire waters of the Eastern
Mediterranean.
The Cretan situation was best
shown in the fact that the British
Near East command did not even
issue a communique up to late
hour today.
The r. A F. mentioned that 1t
had bombed the airdrome and beach
of Malemi, Crete, Thursday night,
but that was all.
The r. A. F. devoted most of it's
communique to restrained an
nouncement that a large force of
British fighter planes on patrol
made contact" with a big forma-
ton of Germans, sending two
Heinkels plunging into the sea
and damaging many" others so
badly they probably did not get
VAIN " lilCA OdoCS-
Retired With Speed.
THE enemy Immediately took
evasive action and retired with all
possible speed" the communique
stated
Indications were that the scene
was between Crete and Egypt, or
between Crete and the British
island of Cyprus to the east.
A possible clue was contained in
the R. A. F. announcement that
heavy British bombers had raided
the italian islands of Scarpanto and
Rhodes, east of Crete.
(Another clue was in the Ger
man high command announce
ment that the Luftwaffe was at
lacking some of the British Gre
tan forces which had fed to the
islet of Gavdos, Is miles south
of Crete)
Fight May Be Continuing.
Although the British prepared
themselves for bad news from Cretes
land forces, an indication that the
fight continued was seen in a war
Office announcement from London
that the imperial commander in
Crete, Maj. Gen. B. C. Freyberg, lis
alive and with his troops"
This was in denial of German
broadcasts yesterday that he had
been killed while flying from Crete
to Egyptian accusation that he had
deserted his hard-pressed men.
In preparation for the expected
expansion of the over-water air war
once Crete is lost, the r. A. F. al
ready has been using Hurricane
fighters with extra gasoline tanks
and medium bombers specially fitted
out as fighters.
With these, they repeatedly have
raided Crete, Scarpanto and Ger
man-held Greek bases.
r. A. F. at Disadvantage.
In that phase, however, the r. A.
F. was at disadvantage in having
to fly more than 400 miles over water
to the fighting scene with planes
whose efficiency was reduced by the
extra gasoline loads. Such opera
lions were admittedly dangerous,
with a high percentage Of losses.
The Germans had several bases 100
miles or less from Crete. Now the
distance factor is getting nearer
into balance.
1t was said here the R: A. F.
knew as early as May II that the
Germans were preparing for their
weird air-borne invasion of Crete,
and probably delayed it couple
of days by a vigorous bombing Of
many Greek air fields.
There were not enough fighters,
however. to inf1ict damage in the
air sufficient to thwart the Ger
man plan.
