v Denver, June 27. Organized labor
of America will immediately call up
on President Harding, his cabinet
and congress to bring about recog
nition of the Irish republic and pro
test to Great Britain against' the
"brutal and uncivilized warefare
now being coiducted in Ireland."
In accordance with the instructions
of the convention here last week the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor today urged
Pres.. Samuel Gompers to take the
Irish matter up with the government
officials at Washington. Whether
this will be done by a personal visit
to the White House and capitol or
by communication could not be
learned.
The council also authorized the
sending immediately of a special
communication to Premior Lloyd
George and his cabinet protesting
against the "campaign of violence
and destruction in Ireland." ,
Survey Convention Work.
The council made a complete sur
vey today of the work of the 41st
annual convention which ended its
sessions here Saturday. It disposed
of number of resolutions which
called for protests or support on
legislative matters by authorizing
President Gompers to carry out the
convention's instructions.
The problem of future relations
with the International Federation of
Trade Unions was sidetracked for
the present. It is understood that
no further effort to bring about a
reformation in the European labor
movement will .be made at this time
and in the meantime relations with
the international will be suspended
also.
President Gompers was instructed
to send to President Harding and
members of congress an appeal for
the adoption of the Johnson-Nolan j
bill, wnicn provides a wage not less
than $3 a day for all federal em
ployes. Protest Postal Rates.
The council also will send to con
gress a .protest against another in
crease in second-class postal rates
which is scheduled to go into effect
July 1. The second-class zone sys
tem was declared to be unjust and
un-American and is but a contempt
uous overthrow of the sound postal
principles established by President
Lincoln; that the postal service is
an educational and social function of
vast benefit to our entire nation."
, Congress is asked to "annul this
obnoxious legislation enacted under
pretense of a war revenue" and is
required to make a "thorough in
vestigation of the entire postal serv
ice and postal rates." , ; :
The council' adjourned ' until " Au
gust 22, when it: will meet -either in
Washington or. Atlantic City to take
up the major problems confronting
organized labor and ' carry.: out the
instructions of the convention. '!

had become a "comedy."
Representative Gallivan of Ma'ssa

proud to stand on the floor , of the
house and denounce the pending bill
"We are told by the historians,"
said Gallivan, "that Egypt had

Representative Ryan of New York
started a commotion when he de
clared that the people of his state
were not going to enforce the pro
hibition law; that they did not want
it. He referred to the recent action
of the American Federation of Labor
convention, demanding the right to
light wine? and beer as beverages.
To this Mr. Box of Texas replied
sharply that the itfew York legisla
ture had recently passed a very dras
tic prohibition enforcement law. He
asked Mr. Ryan if he would dare rise
in the New York legislature and
boast that the people of the state
did not intend to obey that law.

, Mayfield, Ky., June 27. Mystery
continues to envolop th tragedy in
the Lawrence farm home Saturday
night when bodies of, 11 persons,
thought to have been slain, were
found practically incinerated in the
dwelling. .
The fragments of the bodies were
placed in one coffin and interred to-
oay. '
Sheriff McCain and Coroner Met
tit reported they were unable to find
wounds that would determine
whether the inmates were murdered
berore being burned. An axe and
firearms were found in the ruins.
Sheriff McCain announced that he
had not changed his theory that
Lawrence had developed a fit of in
sanity and in a frenzy had killed his
wife, their threechildren and their
guests, Otis Drew, Mrs. Drew, her
three children and Drew's brother,
Delmer Drew. The indications are,
he said, that Lawrence saturated the
room in which the bodies were found
with oil, touched a match to it and
killed himself.
Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Drew
were sisters.
One report had it that Lawrence
had been roughly handled by a po
liceman in Mayfield some years -ago
and that he had been struck on the
head. Since then, the story ran,
Lawrence had suffered from illness
periodically which had affected his
mind.
' Sheriff McCain found it difficult to
believe that one man could have at
tcaked 10 persons, at least three of
them adults, without some of them
escaping.

Movie Actress'
Husband on Trial
On Theft Charge
Witnesses Declare Wife, Jean
Sothern, Not Woman In-,
volved With Captain
In Alleged Crime.
New York, June 27. Mrs. Mar
jorie Blanche Chew, wife of Capt.
Beverly Chew, accused and indicted
of numerous crimes and misdemean
ors, was identified today as the
popular moving picture . actress
Jean Sothern.
In Washington last December a
grand jury indicted Mrs. Chew on
the charge of aiding her husband
steal $2,000 worth of furs and laces.
Later she was released to await trial
in $5,000 bail.
The identification of Mrs. Chew
as Jean Sothern establishes the fact
that there exists a second Mrs. (..hew
and provides the real Mrs. Chew,
namely Jean Sothern, with an ab
solute alibi. Her identification was
accomplished by testimony of a
theatrical promoter, her brother,
and a police official of Richmond,
Va., which is her home town.
Has Perfect Alibi.
Jules Larvett arose in court today
and pointed to Mrs. Chew as Jean
sothern. He produced a letter con
tract, a cancelled salary check of
$24,000 for the year, and other evi
dence. He swore that he visited Mrs.
Chew in her home in Virginia dur
ing the months she is charged as hav
ing been in the company of Captain
Chew committing crimes.
Larvett also joined with other
witnesses in declaring that another
woman who posed as Mrs. Chew was
frequently seen in the company ot
Captain Chew.
Wife Is With Him.
The witnesses all scrutinized the
face of Mrs. Chew, who has been
in the court every day since the
trial, and declared that she was not
the woman. A photograph of the
second and false Mrs. Chew was
produced and immediately identified
Captain Chew is now being tried
by court-martial on Governor's Isl
and. On being released by the civil
authorities at Washington he was
arrested at once by the military. Fif
ty-one specifications are contained
in the charges ogainst him, includ
ing lorgery, swindling, desertion
conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. The trial started on
May 16. Mrs. Chew has been pres
ent each day.

Resolution Sets Forth Pur
po.se as an Alliance to Pre
vent Wars by Threats
Of Strikes.
Detroit, Mich., June 27. A reso
lution inviting all radical organiza
tions of the United States to a con
ference next year to form an alli
ance to prevent future wars by the
threat of general strikes was intro
duced in the socialist national con
vention today.
The Wisconsin delegation is spon
sor for the move and Mayor Daniel
Hoan of Milwaukee introduced the
resolution. It would invite the
farmer-labor party and various labor
unions, including the mine workers,
machinists and some of the railroad
groups., to participate.
Ihe resolution proposes a pro
gram of four points:
Opposition to war.
Restoration of political liberty.
Collective ownership and demo
cratic control of instruments of pro
duction monopolistically-owned.
Agreement to use both political
and industrial means to this end.
"By agreement of the mine and
railroad workers to call a general
strike in event of war future conflicts
can be prevented," Hoane declared.
The resolution was offered as a
substitute for pending motions deal
ing with political and general strikes
and the party attitude toward labor
Hughes Stands Pat
For Mexican Treaty
(Continued From Face One.)
were not rescinded and could be put
into effect at any time by any Mex
ican government
Hold Treaty Necessary.
When Secretary of State Hughes
came to study the situation he per
ceived at once that article 27 might
be interpreted in one way by one
Mexican administration and in some
other wey by another regime. The
only safety to American property
holders, in his opinion, lay in the
negotiation of a, treaty which would
bind Mexico under whatever admin
istration to respect American titles.
With such a treaty in effect the con
fiscation of American property by
any Mexican government under the
guise of carrying out article 27
would be a violation of the treaty.
Obregon has indicated his unwil
lingness to enter into- such a treaty
and the negotiations intiated by Mr.
Hughes are now at a standstill. It
is assumed that Obregon's next move
will be to put through a law inter
preting article 27 hoping that a non
retroactive provision therein will sat
isfy the United States sufficiently to
bring about the coveted recognition
by the American government and
the European nations ; which 1 are
awaiting the cue of Washington.
It was officially asserted today,
however, that the passage bf such
legislation by the Mexican congress,
which might . at any time be re
pealed, will not satisfy the Harding
administration and that Mr. Hughes
will continue to insist upon the con
clusion of a treaty.

Country Authorized to Put
12 Per Cent Cut Into Ef:
- feet Next Friday.
Chicago, June 27. The United
States railroad labor board today
extended its wage reduction order,
effective July 1, to practically every
large railroad in the country. No
change from the average 12 per cent
reduction f granted 104 carriers on
June 1 was made by today's deci
sion. The -new order affects 210
roads. - '' ' -
The " new decision will 'make a
reality of the estimated $400,000,000
annual savings expected by the
roads. '
The decision, drawn as an adden
dum to the reduction order of June
1, adds practically every railroad in
the class one division to the origi
nal list of 104 roads authorized to
make the .12, per cent reduction.
Following the 12 per cent reduc
tion, which t was generally unsatis
factory to the roads, the carriers re
turned with added insistence that the
1920 wage award be wiped out The
boapd, however,' would not change
its scale. : : ; ; ,
While no definite returns have
been announced from the referendum
being taken by all the railway unions
on acceptance or rejection of the 12
per cent cut, it was expected that
conferences here on July 1 would
agree to accept the board's decision
The new order involves practically
all classes of employes.
The only change in the rates of
reduction made by today's decision
was in the case of some marine
workers at eastern ports.
About one-half of the roads in
cluded in today's decision were par
ties to the original , decision, the
duplication resulting from the fact
that many roads did not include all
classes of employes in their first pe
titions. Rates of reductions for several
minor classes of employes were
added to the order today. , "
