CHICAGO, June 1.—More than 3,000 iron workers went on strike today for a dollar a day wage increase. As a result all bullding projects in | which the fron framework has not been | completed were delayed. ‘The strike of the Bridge and Structur- al Iron Workers' Union, with a member- ship of 2,200, was called last night, and today the Ornamental and Architectural Iron Workers walked out in a sympa- thetic strike. The latter organization has a membership of 900 and wage scale of $12 a day, the same as the structural workers. The unions demand $13, a concession on their part from a $14 day first asked. The employers count- ered with an offer of $12.50. Setback Not Serious. ‘Work on various buildings, to cost well over $100,000,000 was not seriously hampered today, E. N. Craig, executive secretary of the Building Construction Employers’ Association, sald. He esti- mated, however, that 30,000 other crafts- men would be thrown out of employ- ment and all work on most of the proj- ects halted if the iron workers remained out a week. Arthur Evenson, chief business agent for the Structural Iron Workers, an- nounced during the day that three con- tractors had met the union demand for an increased wage scale. A. C. Preble, spokesman for the Iron League, an assoclation of employers, said the workers had violal their agreement by striking. “The agreement we have with them calls for arbitration,” he declared. “Yet they walked out, seriously affecting bullding operations.” On the other hand, Evenson said he did not read the agreement in that fashion and he believed there was no violation in the strike agreement. Walked Out Without Call. No official strike call was issued for the ornamental workers, but the men walked out. Ju E. Sullivan in Superior Cot recently issued an injunction restraining Edward Ryan, their business agent, and other union officlals from calling s strike in a jurisdictional ai t between the ornamental workers and the sheet metal workers as to which craft should install certain types of metal window frames. It was believed Ryan and other offi- be cited for Pt ey issu strike order today, although it had nothing to do with the jurisdictional argument. ‘The buildings on which construction has been by the strike in- clude the Merchandist Mart, the Board of Trade, the buildings of the Hawthorne plant of the Western Elec- tric Co., the Continental Iilinois Bank Bulllding and the telephone building. o BAIL DENIED DOCTOR IN “TORSO MURDER” | Westlake, Elderly Retired Physi- cian of Los Angeles, Charged With Killing Mrs. Sutton. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 1.—Dr. Frank P. Westlake, elderly retired physician, was arraigned today on a charge of murdering Mrs. Laura B. Sutton, Ar- tesla, Calif., divorcee, who was asserted by deputy sheriffs to have been the “torso murder” victim which for some time had puzzled authorities. He was denied bail. Preliminary hearing on the charge Wwas set for next Wednesday morning in Municipal Court. ‘The formal complaint supplanted a “guspicion of murder” charge, which the physiclan had been !lflgeand, and alleges the murder occurred “on or about March 28.” The torso was found in the Los Angeles River April 4. Several weeks Iater a skull, identifled as Nmnm&n the body, and later as the head of . Sutton, was discovered by schoolboys near where the body was found. 10-MILE VOCAL RANGE luncheons wearing millions of francs’ wotth of jewels. “An exaggeration!” said Colette. wore s "charmine THUS, walking sult Wi made entirely of diamonds!” The Riviera—A Loving Royal Couple. If the Duke of Connaught is well enough, it is possible that he may take King George's place for the trooping of the colors in June, before which time he will ceftainly be back in England. The Duke of Connaught is much bet- ter for his stay in the south of France, And so is the King of Sweden, whose ds have all remarked a great im- plv;:.ment in his form on the tennis courts.

POSSIBLE AT RESORT Effect Produced by 120 ILoud Speakers in Various Parts of Atlantic City Auditorium, PHILADELPHIA (#).—Apparatus that delivers vocal power 10 miles if directed at one focal point has been assembled for the new Atlantic City auditorium. It is produced by 120 loud-speaker horns, the largest of which has an effective length of 21 feet. They are installed in various sections of the audi~ torium. The greatest battery is in the main convention hall, a room that seats upward of 40,000 persons. The horns in this hall for voice and musical amplification’ are suspended in .| two great gondolas, 130 feet above the floor, one at each end of the vast room. The mechanical throats have been aimed to reach every section of the hall, and tuned to acoustical modula- tions which engineers say are perfect. Another large battery of horns sup- plies the baliroom.

Now that Trotsky is in disfavor they have renamed it, Poor Little Town, ransnogvardeisk. or Red Guard Town. How often these folks change their ad- dress without the bother of removal!
