CITY AND U. S. OFFICIALS UNITE TO END STRIKE Parley Sought in City Hall Monday: Resignation of Morrissey Asked. Undismayed by the slow progress in effecting a conciliation of the strike at the Real Silk hosiery mills, municipal and federal authorities tvill call a conference at city hall Monday, in an effort to settle the labor trouble, The Times learned today. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, it *'as reported, will be asked to make one more effort to bring about a settlement satisfatcory in the strike, *hich has been marked by bombings and other outrages. The labor trouble, which bt'gan five weeks ago, was started when employes of the hosiery mills attempted to gain recognition for the American Federation of Full-Fash-ioned Hosiery Workers, an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor. Heading a committee of five men. Fred Galloway, labor organizer, j presented a petition to Mayor Sullivan at city hall today, demanding the resignation of Chief Mike Morrissey and members of the board of safety, on the grounds that, the officials had “allowed innocent victims to be beaten up in the strike trouble.” Use of Guards Probed

The petition also protested the presence in th? city of armed, private guards, alleged to have been hired by the officials of the Real Silk Company. Mayor Sullivan flatly refused to accept or consider the petition. The mayor and Galloway engaged in a heated argument, with the mayor standing firm on his decision not to allow the petition to be filed in his office. For the second time in less than a week a reward of ssf>o was posted by the Real Silk Company for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of an alleged attempted bombing, at the home of Richard Radcliff. 1125 North Dearborn street, early yesterday morning. Radcliff told police he heard an explosion in front of his home, and going downstairs to investigate, saw a young man prowling in the shrubbery, near the front of the house. Radcliff said he fired five shots at the intruder. Intimidation Is Charged Later detectives investigating the bombing found a stick of dynamite and an exploded cap and fuse. Police said the explosive cap evidently had gone off prematurely. Beveridge Foster, organizer of the local branch of the hosiery union, charged that company officials of the Real Silk concern were making efforts to intimidate workers by circulating petitions asking for more protection for mill employes. Two workers in the lingerie department of the mills told a reporter for The Times that they had refused to sign the petition on the grounds that pickets did not bother workers in the office or lingerie departments. and that the police detail was sufficient to take care of the situation. Members of the United States Rubber Company Union will hold a mass meeting tomorrow mornir.fi at 39’2 South Delaware stret, for the purpose of voting whether to strike, it was reported today.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WATSON GAINING IN G, 0, P, TILT FOR LEADERSHIP Hoosier Aided by Withdrawal of Colonel Knox From Race. By Time* Special WASHINGTON. May 12.—Although former Senator James E. Watson's boom to succeed Everett Sanders as chairman of the Republican national committee, is not being taken too seriously here, it was given some impetus today by official withdrawal of Frank Knox, Chicago publisher. Dispatches from Rome quote Colonel Knox as stating: “Under no circumstances will I accept the championship, even if it is offered to me.” This gives Watson strength on sectional grounds, it was contended. He has been advocated as an old guard leader, who can get progressive support. The committee is to decide the matter at Chicago, June 5. Suggestion of a stop-gap solution, to be made by putting in ViceChairman Ralph E. Williams of Oregon as actual chairman, until the congressional races are over and the party decides upon a program, has been made here by Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon. He has been anew deal supporter, but rates only semi-progressive, with G. O. P. aspirations of his own, probably including the presidency. However, he is a power in the minority group at the present time. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. has offered some suggestions about selection of the new chairman, but is said to wield no power. The New York committeeman, Charles D. Hilles, is rated as very much opposed to Watson.

SLAIN CASKET MANJSBURIED Alleged Sandstrom Letters Examined for Murder Evidence. Last rites for Carl V. Thompson, assistant sales manager of the Indianapolis Casket Company, found murdered in a hotel room at Mattoon, 111., were held here yesterday. Burial was in Crown Hill. While the funeral was being held, two letters written by Mrs. Anne Sandstrom, 668 East Twelfth street, charged with firing the fatal shot which killed Mr. Thompson, were examined by investigators assigned to the murder case. Mrs. Sandstrom was held without bail in Mattoon yesterday after a coroner's jury had charged her with murderous intent in the slaying of Mr. Thompson. Two letters which Mrs. Sandstrom is alleged to have written to her son, John, 15, were among the which will be used by the state in her trial for murder. The letters were full of advice. They indicated an intention to commit suicide. In one of the letters Mrs. Sandstrom inclosed S2O and advised her son to visit the world's fair at Chicago. “Never lie or steal,” the mother wrote, “Make your life worth while as mine has not been.” Gloria Stuart Asks Divorce By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 12.

SSOO REWARD! SECOND BOMBING ATTEMPT IN 10 DAYS An attempt was made Thursday midnight to dynamite the home of R. F. Radcliff, 1125 North Dearborn Street, an employe of Real Silk Hosiery Mills. The cowardly act may be assumed to be another attempt to intimidate a worker who is exercising his inherent right to work and support his family. A second reward of SSOO is offered by Real Silk Hosiery Mills, Inc., for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of this outrage. This reward is in addition to the reward of SSOO offered by the Company in connection with the bombing of the home of John Madden, another employe, which occurred the night of May 3. Additional information to that which is already in hand about either or both of these attempts to destroy life and property, will be treated confidentially and may be revealed either to police authorities, or to officials of Real Silk Hosiery Mills, Inc. The indignation of all good citizens of Indianapolis is aroused by these inexcusable attacks on person and property. The good name of our city is being blackened by this lawlessness and any assistance rendered to the law’ enforcing authorities in discovering the perpetrators will be an act of good citizenship. There is a growing public feeling that those who are directing the strike could put an end to this violence. Strikes are not settled by force and public opinion does not support such un-American methods. # 4 REAL SILK HOSIERY MILLS, Inc. Indianapolis.

COMMUNICATION CODE PROPOSAL PROTESTED Press Rate Increase Foreseen by Editorial Association. By United Pre** COLUMBIA. Mo., May 12.—A resolution protesting against Section 4 of the proposed code for a communication industry, approved by the National Editorial Association, was forwarded to Washington today. The resolution pointed out that enforcement of Section 4 would “materially a'ffect” press rates now available for the transmission of news and increase tolls on newspaper dispatches. “It places a hardship on newspapers throughout the country by increasing costs to an extent they will be unable to absorb and continue to give adequate news service,” the resolution said.

POWERS LAUNCH STERN RAGE FOR AIR SUPREMACY Sale of Planes to Nazis by England Is Held Responsible. (Ccpvriftht. 1034. bv United Pres-) LONDON. May 12.—A prophetic nightmare in which fleets of airplanes, droning through moonless nights at great altitudes above sleeping cities to drop one and twoton bombs on women and children, brought Europe to the starting line of an aerial armaments race today. It was generally agreed that general disarmament has become merely a hope for the future—possibly after another world war. A naval armaments race, limited only technically by the expiring naval treaties of Washington and London, has begun in fact. The surge of national spirit in Nazi Germany started the chain of events. The final links were forged this week in London and Paris. France, always watchful of Germany. disclosed publicly that British airplane companies were supplying airplane engines, and palnning to supply complete airplanes of bombing size, to Germany. A protest to the British government brought a curt refusal to end the traffic, on the ground that the airplanes and engines were for civil use. Military experts disclosed that Germany could achieve parity in aerial armaments not only with Great Britain, but with France within two years at the present rate and within one year in an emergency. It was disclosed that United States manufacturers also were supplying planes to the Nazi government.
