on the shoulders.
Strikers Claim Five Victories
With William Green, pre.Hident of
the American Federation of Labor, at
his side, ^Francis J. Gorman, energetic
generalis.simo of the * strike forces;
amiJingly told newspapermen:
"Wy have gianed every substantial
thing that we can gain from this
strike. Our strike has torn apart the
whole unjust structure of NRA, lift
ing a load from all labor as well as
from ourselves.”
The strike committee, in a later
gtatament, asserted:
/‘^e have secured these d^fi^nite
Aihgs:
^ ‘‘1. An end to the stretchout.^ \
“2. A . method of determining hours
. on a basis of fact.
”3. A niethbdrof determining wages
upon a basis of fact.
“4. Practical recognition of our
, union.
**5. Refornwjn-'the whole adminis
tration of the labor provisions of the
code, op a apale so sweeping that we
must coill'e!is ourselves surprised at
the.Jiweeping character of the victory
we nave won.” '*
Only a militant minority stood out
for a continuation of the stirke. It
insisted the employers first guar
antee unconditionally,' the reinstate
ment, without discrimination of all
who quit the mills.
Others held that such a guarantee
was implicit in the settlement plati,
which Rpesid^t Roosevelt, at Hyde
Park, was preparing, meanwhile, to
put into execution.
Green issued a statement express

helping him.

At no time while he knew him did

Becker declared. According to Beck

cut chap, . '
*‘1 can’t understand how Haifflt-
mann could do such a thing,” Beck
er said. “Hje was quiet and shy, not

The entire program will be built
around the theme, “Christ the Domi-
given much to talking about himself. Force in Building the King-
He was an extremely* likable fellow,
andjj I can’t understand how he got
mixed up in this affair. He was'a
hai^ worker and an excellent carpen-
ter.” '
Following di.sclosures of evidence
that Hauptmann at one time went
under the name of “Kai4 Pellmeir,”
inquiries were made today - at the
Matthews Construction Company in
Priirt©tpn, builder.s of the Lindbergh
home, to find out if Hauptmann had
been employed as a carpenter while
the Lindbergh house was under con
struction.
