N. Us Jail Striker
 Law Raped by Green

Washington, D. C.-The recent ly-passed New Jersey law, imposing fines and jail sentences upon utility employees who engage in strike was sharply condemned by AFL President William Green. who branded 1t "the worst anti-labor measure ever adopted by any State Legislature.
 MT. Green, who had appealed in vail to Governor DriScoll to veto the bill. declared:
 Tt is totalitarian in essence, be- cause it compels men and women to work against their wills or be punished by fines or Imprisonment. The effect of such legislation would be to institute slave labor in Ameri- ca. It robs American workers of their basic freedoms.
 sTts provisions for forced labor and compulsory arbitrtiOn violate the fundamental principles of free dom, upon which our democracy is founded. and will prove ObnOxi- Ous to workers and employers alike. No State in American can afford

The A. F. of l.. leader said Re publican party leaders who were outside the camp of the progress sives, were making a terrible mis take which they would rue in the near future in encouraging legisla- tion to repeal the National Labor Relations Act and to restore the use of injunctions in labor disputes 'They had better listen to men like Senators Morse and Baldwin" he warned, "who disagree that the voters in last years election issued a mandate to cruelty labor"
 Maintaining that labor during the past sixth months had generally cooperated with management and had been willing to compromise wage and other demands, MT. Rourke remarked: Most workers were waiting patiently for a re- duction in prices, but instead of this happening the profit-swollen corporations have continued to exact high prices with the result that presSures for increased wages have been growing. Congress- s yielding to the behest of corpora tion lobbyists to weaken labor will not suppress these pressures as long as causes exist such as an increase in the cost of living of 18 per cent in 10 months. After all, no one seriously believes that American workers can be prevented from striking when conditions become

'Hindenburg's viii Creates
Uproar in Won Papen Trial
By the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, Jan. 80. - The
denazification trial of Franz Won
Papen was thrown into an uproar
today during quarreling between de-
Tense and prosecution counsel. Or
der was restored only after the court
president threatened noisy gallery
spectators with arrest.
Attorneys wrangled for the third
day over the authenticity of the
purported will of former President
Paul Won Hindenburg, which Hitler
used as an instrument to seize power.
The prosecution contends the will
was forgery and that Won Papen,
who was one of Hitler's leading dip
lomats, had part in the deception.
Won Papen testified yesterday that
he had drafted proposed will for
the German President. After Won
Hindenburg's death, he said, he
asked the Presidents son. OSkar, for
the testament and was handed two
envelopes, both of which he said
he handed to Hitler unopened. He
said he did not know the contents.
He said in the will he had drafted
the President had urged Chancellor
Hitler to restore the Hohenzollern
monarchy.

Gov. Tuck Awaiting
Maryland Reply on
Study Of Oyster Pact
BY the Associated Press

Gov. Tuck of Virginia today
awaited a reply from Gov. Lane to
his request that Maryland hold off
passage of a bill nuilifying 60
year clause in the Potomac River
agreement and proposing instead
that commissions from the two
States meet to settle the contro-
versy.
The skirmishing over oystering
has reached the point of an ulti-
matum, with Virginia threatening
to ignore the impending Maryland
law and the Maryland Legislature
apparently ready to pass it, regard
less
To back up his request, the Vir-
ginia Governor pointed to the reso-
luton setting up three-man Vir-
ginia commission which won rapid
approval by the Virginia General
Assembly in constructive session
yesterday. The commission would
meet with similar commission
from Maryland at Mount Vernon
March 28-the 162d anniversary of
the pact of 1785-if the Maryland
Legislature agrees.
If the Maryland General Assembly
passes the bill-already approved by
the Senate without a dissenting
vote-to allow Maryland to prose-
cute Virginia violators of fishing and
oystering laws, Gov. Tuck will re-
gard it as "nullity."
He told Gov Lane in his 700-word
wire advising him of the passage OF
the resolution that 'any attempt on
the part of Maryland without the
consent of Virginia to try Virginia
people in the courts of Maryland for
violation of the seafood laws of the
Potomac River is a nullity, and l
shall, as Governor. so instruct our
seafaring people, until the validity
of the Maryland act is determined
by proper tribunal.
Gov. Tuck wired Gov. Lane that
the Virginia resolution was "in the
exact language agreed upon by us
over. the telephone yesterday" and
said he would proceed to name the
Virginia members of the commission.
The Maryland Governor refused
to comment on Gov. Tuck's message.
News of the pending Maryland bill
has brought much comment from
Virginia oystermen, who admit there
are violations of the antidredging
law.

Wherry at the top of the committee
list, with Senator Wilson in the
second spot.

would reject the assignment, Senator

Fields Had No Ledger
|Af Time Of House Call,
Accountant Testifies

Ted r. strom, certified public ac-
countant, who worked for Benjamin
F.. Fields, testified today it would
have taken him two or three months
to. prepare ledger sheets which a
House committee wanted imme-
diateIy.
Fields, on trial for contempt of a
House committee, is charged with
wilfully failing to give all his finan-
cial records last August to the House
Surplus Property Committee. Mr..
Strom, defense witness, said that
Fields asked him, after the Defend
ants appearance before the. commits
tee, to prepare the ledger sheets de-
scribing a surplus bronze wire
screening into which the committee
was inquiring.
Fields wanted these for the COM
mittee by 10 am. the next day,
Mr.. Strom said. He recalled this
conversation as having taken place
around August Ia.
Mr.. Strom testified he had done
little work on Fields 1916 accounts
at that time. He added there was
no particular place he could go
to get the information to- prepare
the sheets, for it meant an ex-
animation of the Fields records.
These ledger sheets have never been
prepared, Mr.. Strom said.
He has been taking care of Fields
books since December, 1914; he said.
Mr.. Strom, who also was wit
ness before the House committee,
said Fields impressed on him the
need for urgent action on the ledger
sheets but actually none existed at
the time.
The defense began its case this
morning. It's first witness was Rob-
ert r. Haggerty. director of a sales
group In the War Assets Admins
tration. He testified he found no
contract between the United States
and C. B. War; of Oklahoma City
in the administration files, or with

under which Fields is ON trial, men
tions such a contract andSzthe de-
fense maintains that Mr.. War;
