Martial Law in
Colorado County
To Be Contested
Mine Workers Head Declares
Proclamation in . Huerfano
. Cpunty UnwarranterJTo
Fight It in Courts.
' Walsenburg, Colo., Nov. ;I8. (By
The Associated Press.) Charges by
John P. McLennan, president oi the
Fifteenth district, United Mine
Workers of America, that the procla
mation of martial law in Huerfano
county was unwarranted and would
be contested in the courts and a
mass meeting at which miners were
cautioned against disorder marked
the opening yesterday of the miners'
strike against a wage cut in 13 mines
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany in the Las Animas, and Huer
fano' counties' coal fields.
The day passed without disorder.
Statement of a-miner that he had
been slapped by a state ranger, and
warning given J. F. Coss, newspa
per editor here, against publishing
criticisms of the military were the
only untoward events noted.
To Augment Rangers.
Col. Patrick J. Hamrock, adjutant
general, is expected to take personal
charge of the rangers here today.
The local force of rangers is ex
pected to be augmented with more
than 60 new men who left Denver
yesterday. .
Effectiveness of the strike was in
doubt from conflicting reports from
both sides to the controversy.. State
ments of the company officials that
25 per cent of. the miners were at
work in Huertano county ana su per
cent in Las Animas county were met
with counter statements of union of
ficials that the men had entered the
mines merely to get their tools and
that a check today would show a
nearly complete shut-down.
To ' Co to Courts.
Mr. McLennan,' who came here
from Trinidad yesterday, in a state
ment declared that there were no
grounds for the assertion in the mar
tial law proclamation "that tumult
and riot and . insurrection were
threatened.". The miners' leader de
clared ' there has not been, there is
not now and there is no evidence that
there ever will.be arrounds for mar
tial law in Huerfario coonty'or in any
other part of the district affected by
the present strike.
I intend to carry this matter lust
as far as I can tinder the constitution
of the United States," Mr. McLennan
said in referring to the proclamation.

navies. - The ratio was not based
on the supposed needs of the na
tions. Every nation has a different
conception of its naval needs. We
found -three powers with certain re
lations of existing strength which
we sought to preserve. We took
the capital ship as the yard stick of
measurement and cut down the
forces used for, offensive warfare,
preserving the existing ratio of
strength in the forces remaining for
defensive purposes.
Ample Defensive Strength.
"The plan Would, leave each na
tion a navy ample for defensive, but
with a. limited, number of caoital
ships, which constitute aggressive
weapons. I he allowance of capital
ships for Japan is regarded as ex
tremely liberal. Japan is allowed
more than her existing strength in
capital ships.
"If one nation wants to change
this provision and another nation
wants some other concession, the
first thing you know competitive
building will not be halted but will
continue. -You can't stop competi
tion if one nation is allowed to go
ahead of another. That is a sound
position which undoubtedly is ap
proved by public opinion, not only
in this but in other countries. The
public is convinced that the way to
end .competitive building is. to end
it If we don't stop some time, we
never will stop. If we are not act
ually going to stop we shall have
to try some other plan."
It was stated, however, that there
is room for discussion as to the
larger allowanc of auxiliary craft
desired by Japan for defense pnr-J

Pact to Prevent -Wars
in Future
Urged by Gary
Steel Magnate Says Treaty
Should Go With Naval Lim't.
tationg Failure of Meet
"Unthinkable," He Avers.
New York, Nov. 18. Negotiation
of a treaty which would prevent fu
ture wars was urged, in conjunction
with an agreement to limit navies,
by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of tne
board of the United States Steel
corporation, in 'an address today be
fore the American iron ana oicei in
stitute, of which he is oresident. He
also belittled the suggestion that
armament limitation would reduce
the manufacture of steel, saying the
thought was unworthy of even a
passing notice. Business was im
proving, he said, but there must be
further adjustments.
"With an agreement for the limi
tation of capital ships," he said, "it
would not see to be practical to stop
with less than a final treaty which
will prevent future wars. In addition
to what is contemplated by the limi
tation of armament, there should,
with other things; be an understand
ing that if any international differ
ences arose, no resort to military
force would be permitted until
after there has been a conference
and full discussion by all nations
now participating in . the delibera
tions at Washington.
To Strive for Agreement
"President Harding and the four
selected able and experienced repre
sentatives of this country will en
ergetically and persistently strive for
an agreement,
"if means for the firm establish'
ment and maintenance of peace can
be found and generally assented to,
it will mark an epoch of the great
est business prosperity, as well as
the largest measure of happiness that
the world has even witnessed. We
should be thankful that this confer
ence has been called."
Failure of the conference, he said,
was unthinkable. An adverse out
come would be intolerable and those
responsible for it would be repudi'
ated and everlastingly condemned.
Business Better.
Mr. Gary said it seemed to be gen
erally contcded that business con
ditions throughout the country for
the last six months had ben stead
ily, if slowly, growing better. The
volume of business in the steel in
dustry had more than doubled in the
last 90 days, he said, though profits
had been little or nothing, due to
high costs and low prices. Of the
country s business outlook, he said:
"Even though we have now
passed the most critical period in
our recovery, I still think we would
not be warranted in concluding we
have arriyed at the point where we
can with certainty predict the exact
time when there will be a return to
a normal financial, commercial and
industrial basis, for the world's eco
nomic structure has been ' terribly
shaken by adverse winds during the
last few years. There must be
further adjustments. .
"The delay in complete restora
tion of a sound and satisfactory
economic development and ' activity
in this country is largely due to
high costs-high costs of living
high costs ;of production and trans
portation and high costs of owning
and earning money or its equita
lent." t

method of employe ' representation
in the management .
I he final test of the plan will
come, officials say, when it is seen
whether the body of employes accept
the decision of their chosen repre
sentatives. What effect the decision will have
on the strike vote recently taken
by the Amalgamated Association of
Butcher Workmen and Meat Cutters
of America may be known tomor
row. Presidents of union locals in 11
packing centers are meeting here
with Cornelius Hayes, international
president, to discuss the strike vote.
Xhe big five plants have always
been known as "open shop" indus
tries. Packing officials say the union
i i i t r . j . .
mcmuersnip is largely couuncu to
the smaller plants and that any
strike call would not affect them
seriously. ,
During the war and up until Sep
tember IS of this year, by agreement
with .the Department of Labor,
wages in the packing industry were
fixed by Judge Samuel Alschuler,
member of the United States circuit
court of appeals here. All disputes
were referred to him for arbitra
tion. Last spring, when the plants
declined to extend the arbitration
agreement, four of the "big five" or
ganized the employes' committees.
A number of minor matters were
referred to olant boards for adjudi
cation, but the present wage ques
tion was the first serious problem
they were called on to handle.
Ten davs aero the cotaoanies an
nounced, in statements to their em
ployes, that a wage reduction would
be necessary and outlined their rea
sons for requesting the cut Today's
action was the result.
. Officials of the company sa they
suggested no figure for the pro
posed reduction; The employes' rep
resentatives called for - the books,
and from the company's financial
showing, figured out the reduction
which was adopted. The action, it
was emphasized, was purely volun
tary on the part of the employes'
committee, the commitf. represen
tatives agreeing to the cut proposed
by the workers.
Proposed Cut Submitted.
Kansas City. Mo.. Nov. 18. A
proposed schedule of wage cuts was
submitted to AlUU employes ot the
Swift Packing company here today
for voluntary adoption. The schedule
follows:
Common labor, present wag. 45c: sew
rate, lie.
Semi skilled labor, present waga, l-lc;
new rate. 40-4c.
Skilled labor.- present awe, ,S-7S: new
rata. 4-4ie. .
Olrla aad women, present aire, i-ttc;
ew rata. 2S-14c
Wages of all "piece workers to
be reduced 8 per cent
It was announced that the pro
posed cut is necessary to -conform
with decreases in the price of live
stock and wholesale meat products.

Wood Siding, the neighborhood

Rnikback was ouestioiifd about
blood on the furniture and replied,
"I saw blood on the doo dad.
"Chiffonier, you mean," prompted
the attorney.
"That's the bird," was Railsback s
reply.
Home Life Bared.
In a court room crowded with wo
men spectators, fcheritt JJavis mis
morping related tales of intimate
happenings in the home life of Ben
Neal. . ...
Mrs. Neal. for the first t me since
the trial opened, fliatted with friends
this morning in the lobby of the
court house. As usual, she was ac
companied by Mrs. Lillian Kcister,
who has been her constant compan
ion, and for whose hand, it is re
oorted. Ben Neal was once a suitor.
The day was gloomy and the court
room had to be lighted by artificial
means.
When Sheriff Davis resumed the
stand, cartridges taken from the pis
tol which was found in the dead
man's hand were introduced as evi
dence. Two were unexploded and
two were empty.
Called Several Times.
The sheriff told of his service in
the National Guard and United States
army and long experience with fire
arms, and then gave as his opinion
these shells had been in the pistol at
least 12 or 13 years.
During the last two years, he had
been summoned to the Neal home by
reports of trouble on several occa
sions, he testified. This testimony
caused a ripple among the women
spectators who failed to mask their
eagerness for intimate details of the
Neal home lite.
Twice the sheriff served papers in
divorce proceedings brought against
her husband by Lucy Neal, he testi
fied, once in the fall of 1920 and once
last spring.
A reconciliation was effected last
June, however, he related, and short
ly after this he was summoned to
the home by Mrs. Weau
Packg Suitcase.
She told the sheriff she could not
stand "Ben's rag chewing, growling
and cussing," he testified, and she
had packed her suitcase with the in
tention of quitting the farm', but
Ben had taken it from her and un
packed it
1 hen she hid some of her clothing
In a cornfield, and asked the sheriff
to get the suitcase and remainder of
her clothes. '
i.- On the occasions of his visits, the
officer frequently talked to Neal, he
said, and from these talks he received
the impression Neal thought a great
deal of his wife and was generally
good humored, although he resented
her tongue lashings.
Again,; neighbors called the sher
iff and told him the Neals were
rowing, he continued.
Both Neals were in the front
yard when he arrived, he 'said; but
the wife fled into the house at his
approach.
Eats Breakfast In Yard.
Ben was eatins; his breakfast out
in the yard, calm and unexcited, but
the wife, was crying, the officer as
serted. . ' "
When asked what the trouble was
about Neal replied, "Nothing much,'"
according to the officer, who said he
asked the wife if she wanted him to-
take Neal to jail. She told him no.
and denied her husband had struck
her, the officer declared.
This incident, the witness testified,
came at a time - when the sueat
famine was at its height, and Ben
had caught his wife hoarding sugar,
had.chided her and the disagree
ment ensued. '
The wife accused him of continu
ally "cussing her," he said.
"But nobody thought any thins of
Ben Ncal's cussing. declared the
sheriff. .
Under cross-examination Sheriff
Davis testified Mrs. Neal had told
him she had extinguished the light
at the Neal home the night of the
tragedy after the family had retired.

without stepping over the body of
her fatally-wounded husband.
Sherill Davis, under cross examine
ation by counsel for Mrs. Neal, de
nied that he had given orders to
keep Mrs. Neal and her daughter
separated at the Buck home, or that
lie had searched the night gown of
Mrs. Neal or that he had used
"third degree" methods.
Davis stated that Hant Nielsen,
state fingerprint expert, had identi
fied the thumbprint on the handle of
the revolver as that of Neal.

The legislation has been before

followed a bitter controversy In the
senate, waged by a small but deter
