Common Council today with
held $4,000 in payment on the
Herman Gardens housing project
to guarantee repairs on cracked
foundations in the SS,330.0O0 job.
The money was withheld on
recommendation of the Detroit
Housing Commission. A balance of
S147.434 due the A. Smith COM
pany and Lipman Construction
Company for February work on
the project was ordered paid.
Meeting Immediately before the
special council session. the housing
commission told II. n. Sherry. gen.
eral construction superintendent,
that If the surety company would
guarantee the cracked foundations
had been properly repaired. under
terms of the performance bond.
the commission would recommend
payment of the $4,000.
Sherry protested that the money
withheld was an exaggerated eSti-
mate of the damage and that the
cracks had already been repaired.
He said the damage was from
weather, beyond control Of the con-
tractors.

Woman, Evdsive
Witness, Held

Grand Jury officers today were
holding for investigation of per-
jury Mrs. Ruth Carrithers. alleged
inmate of disorderly house in
Hamtramck. after she had made
"evasive and contradictory" an
swers at the trial of 33 defendants
in the county graft case.
Under cross examination by
Thomas A. Kennsey, assistant
state attorney general, Mrs. Car
rithers denied knowledge OF vice
in a house at 2l10 Clay avenue,
allegedly operated by Bertha
johnson. one of the defendants.
Police records indicate Mrs. Car
rithers had lived in the house.
Mrs. Carrithers was declared a
hostile witness by Visiting Judge
Earl c. Pugsley before he an
nounced a weekend recess.
Andrew Fleming, newspaper re-
porter covering the prosecutors
office, was the last witness before
The adjournment. He recalled how
Duncan {. McCrea. former prose
cutor and now a defendant, had
ordered William Bowling, then
assistant prosecutor. to diScon-
tinue an investigation into the
suicide of Mrs. Janet Mcdonald.
Mrs. Mcdonald left several notes
which implicated police in graft
and led 10 the grand jury. F1em-
ing said McCrea declared he
ordered Bowling TO cease the
probe because he didn't want the
office TO be any part
of a police whitewash."
Fleming said McCrea later dis
cussed firing Bowling from the
staff. Upon cross-examination the
said he had never heard
of cases being fixed in the prose-
cutors office under McCrea or
other evidence of dishonesty.

U. S. Goods Enabling Russia
To SuDDIy Reich, British Told

conversations now going on with the
United States Government.
He cited as an example Russian
purchase of $4,000 tons of cotton
from the United States in the last
quarter of 1910, while, he said, large
quantities" of cotton were being sent
from the U. S. S. R. to Germany.
He also said the United States sent
$1,000 tons of copper and brass and
100000 tons of wheat to Russia in
1910, compared with "only negligi-
ble' amounts in previous years.
There is little evidence that
United States exports to the Soviet
Union are reaching Germany d.
rect" Mr.. Dalton said, but there is
ample evidence that the Soviet is
exporting Russian goods to Germany
and replacing them by imports from
the United States"
Mr.. Dalton said United States ex-
ports of petroleum to Russia were
114,000 tons during II months of last
year and added that both wheat
and oil were commodities which the
Soviet government has undertaken
to supply IN large quantities under
the recent trade agreement with
Germany"
Exports of oil and oil-drilling ma
chinery from the United States to
Russia in the first eight months of
1910 were nearly double the 1888
total he said

Defense Strikes Face
Attacks From Two
House Sources
Sweeping Probe Studied;
Vinson to Offer Bill
To Require Mediation

Two attacks on strikes that have
halted work on defense contracts
were under way in the House today.
The House Judiciary Committee
was called by Chairman Summers to
consider a plan for Congress to in
vestigate all strikes affecting defense
orders.
Chairman Vinson of the Naval
Affairs Committee planned to in
troduce during the day legislation
requiring mediation Of all industrial
disputes involving naval contracts.
Representative Summers predicted
that the Judiciary Committee would
order pretty general hearings into
the whole subject"
Meanwhile, a joint conference of
management and employees had been
arranged by Federal mediators for
today in the strike at the AlliS-
Chalmers Manufacturing Co., Mil
waukee. which has stopped work on
about S40,000,000 in defense orders.
The meeting was to be between the
bargaining committees on the c. I.
o. United Automobile Workers and
representatives of the management.
Production also had been halted
at the Elizabeth IN. j. plant OF
the Phelps-Dodge Products, Corp,
by a walkout of the United Elec-
trical, Radio and Machine Workers
&C. I. o. The plant has s74.323
contract for electrical cable and
brass pipe for the Government.
Union officials were demanding
collective bargaining election.
At Cleveland the United Automo-
bile Workers &C. I. o. called
strike at the Standard Tool Co.,
which is turning out factory equip
ment for many defense industries.
A deadlock on contract negotiations
led to the walkout. Union officials
charged the company with STALL
ing" There was no immediate COM
ment from the management.
About $50 striking members of the
Electrical Radio and Machine Union
returned to their jobs at the Bah
cock & Wilcox marine boiler plant
Bayonne, N. J. They had struck for
higher wages. A settlement was
negotiated over the week end.
Secretary of Labor Perkins was
informed yesterday by special
committee that a sabotage preven-
tion act pending in many State
legislatures would seriously curtail
or prohibit labor's right to strike
and picket" in defense production.
A study of the bill was made by
the committee. headed by Daniel w.
Tracy, Assistant Secretary of La
Dor, at the request Of the National
Conference on Labor Legislation.
The measure was prepared by the
Federal-State Conference on Law
Enforcement Problems and was dis
tributed to the States as model leg
islation." 1t provides for imprison-
ment up to 10 years for persons
found guilty of Intentionally defec-
tive workmanship or Of interfering
with defense production.
