By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—The trail of inquiry into a strike aboard the Gov- ernment-owned freighter Algic in Montevideo led today into New York Harbor, where three members of her crew were under arrest on charges of mutiny. The sailors were arrested by Fed- eral officials yesterday when they reached here from South America aboard the freighter West Selene. The Justice Department in Wash- ington named the three accused sea- men as Clegg Lowder, James Oscar Lampkin and Robert Stewart, and added their names to 14 arrested in Baltimore last month. The 14 were held under $500 bail each, until a United States commissioner decides whether the strike constituted mutiny or merely a “breach of discipline.” The National Maritime Union, a Committee of Industrial Organization affiliate, came forward with an offer of legal aid for the three held here, and Frederick Myers, district chair- man of the union, issued a statement denying the men had mutinied or de- serted. He said the crew quit work only as a measure of safety after a skeleton force of “inexperienced and incompetent” longshoremen had been sent aboard during a waterfront strike in Montevideo. The Algic incident flared when Joseph P, Kennedy, chairman of the Maritime Commission, advised Capt. Joseph Gainard to put the leaders of the strike in irons unless they went back to work. The men returned to their jobs, but an investigation by a Department of Commerce hoard prompted charges of “terrorism” aboard the Algic. Still clad in seamen’s dungarees, the three men were arraigned today before a United States commissioner in Brooklyn and held in $500 bail. Unable to provide bail, they were taken to the Federal House of Detention. — H. H. SHELTON’S WILL IS FILED FOR PROBATE Disposing of an estate valued at $276,775, the will of Harry H.

A suit to enjoin the local branch of the Carpet, Linoleum and Soft Tile Layers’ Union from picketing the Quaker City Linoleum Co., 601 F street N.W., was filed by the company in Dis~ trict Court today. Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue ordered the union, which is affiliated with the American Federation of La- bor; its business agent, Stewart M. Keyser, and Charles J. Heel of the Federation’s building trades division to show cause next Tuesday why the injunction should not be issued. Through Attorneys George D. Horn- ing, jr, and James A. Cobb the firm told the court the picketing began a week ago. It said there was no labor dispute between employer and em- ployes and that the demonstration was solely because the employes had re- fused to join the union. Several windows of the store have been smashed with bricks, and auto- mobiles used by the firm have been disabled, it was charged. Fist fights, provoked by the picketers, have result- ed in police intervention, the suit con- tinued. MRS. M. I. M’LAUGHLIN IS FATALLY STRICKEN Was Active Church Member and Belonged to League of Penwomen. Mrs. Madge Irvin McLaughlin, widow of Dr. Thomas N. McLaughlin, died yesterday of a sudden illness at her home, 1736 Connecticut ave- nue N.W.

The principals in the strike are members of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, Local 300, and the Retail Clerks’ International Protective Association, Local 639, both A. F. L. affiliates. They comprise about 90 per cent of the clerks, butchers and meat cutters in the Sanitary-Piggly Wiggly chain here. Contract Dual Instrument. The contract, which is the crux of the strike, is a dual instrument, with the desires of the two unions—craft unions, according to the A. F. L. tra- dition—expressed in one document. Its chief features provide for a base pay of $21 a week, a 51-hour week, time and a half for overtime and observance of seniority in lay-offs. The contract was presented to San- itary two weeks ago. Walter Hegerman, international or- ganizer for the butchers, was sent here from Chicago, international head- quarters, by Patrick Gorman, presi- dent of the international, to take com- mand of the butchers’ side of the strike movement. Hegerman, Thomas O’'Brien, inter~ national organizer for the teamsters, and W. R.

By the Assoclated Press, RICHMOND, Va,; Nov. 12—The United Daughters of the Confederacy voted unanimously today to request authorities to place no names of Con- federate heroes in the Government Amphitheater at Arlington Cemetery unless the name of President Jefferson Davis be included. A report submitted to the forty- fourth annual convention by Mrs. R. E. Allen of Washington, D. C.. pro- viding for this stand by the U.'D. C., was adopted. Prior to the introduction of the report Mrs. Walter Douglas Lamar of Macon, Ga., newly elected president general of the U. D. C,, pledged her support to the movement to have the name of Davis honored throughout the Nation. Mrs. Lamar said yesterday that a simple mistake did more than 30 years of labor to place her “correct estimate” of Jefferson Davis before the country.

C. at Macon in October she closed an address with this slip-of- the-tongue peroration: “Let the world know the wisdom, Uz kindness and the justice of the great and only President of the Con- federate States of America—Abraham Lincoln.” Georgia newspapers and the Asso- ciated Press spread the story and news magazines followed suit. In a few days Mrs. Lamar decided “it was quite remarkable that after spending 30 years and more trying to get the correct estimate of Mr. Davis across the Mason and Dixon line it was finally accomplished because of a slip of the tongue.” Margaret Mitchell, creator of “Gone With the Wind,” agreed in a letter to Mrs, Lamar, “It does seem strange that because of the juxtaposition of | Lincoln’s name with Davis' record, | you received a ‘national coverage,’ | when, if you had said Jefferson Davis, | as you intended, the news coverage would have been a Southern one. The workings of the press are strange, indeed. Mrs. William Cabell Flournoy of Lexington was elevated to the post of historian general. Other officers elected were: Mrs. Edward W. Beach of Phila- delphia, Pa., first vice president; Mrs. R. D. Wright of Newberry, 8. C., re- elected second vice president; Mrs. Harry Davis Allen of Tennessee, third vice president; Mrs. H. W.

OF TAVERN SLAYING Calvert Man Awaits Second-De- gree Sentence for Killing D. C. Woman. By the Associsted Press. PRINCE FREDERICK, Md., Nov. 12—J. Wilson Jones, jr., young Cal- vert County man, awaited sentence today following conviction on a sec- ond-degree murder charge. A Circuit Court jury deliberated for two and a half hours before returning its verdict just before midnight last night. Jones was charged with hav- ing fatally stabbed Mrs. Margaret Combs Morris of 528 Minnesota ave- nue, Washington, last June 26 at a shore resort near here. Morris also was stabbed, but re- covered. The killing occurred follow- ing a dispute in a tavern.

Council Begins Clean-up, ‘With the fall of Shanghai to Japa- nese, officials of the Shanghai Munici- pal Council began a widespread clean- up of anti-Japanese societies operat- ing in the International Settlement. Stirling . Fessenden, American sec- retary general of the council, said he did not believe Japanese would inter- fere with the international group's functions and added that there was little friction between the council and the Japanese, Fessenden added that if Japan should declare war, Shanghai might then become the subject of interna- tional discussion. Yesterday Gen. | Iwane Matsui, commander of the Japa- nese Army at Shanghai, said- “We might have to take action” against “numbers of Communists” in the In- ternational Settlement. Creeks, canals and lakes slice the terrain Japanese must cross before reaching the new Chinese lines. The countryside is ideal for guerrilla war- fare, such as Chinese stragglers in the north are using against Japanese. Reports from Peiping were that thou- | sands of Chinese were harassing Japa- | nese in Hopeh Province. Flood and famine refugees fled southward in Shantung Province. i UNITED FOOD STORES CORRECTION Mary Washington Asparagus As Advertised In Yesterday's Star Should Have Been 1'% 29¢ Declares Extra Dividend Because it's pure coal, clean coal, users here de- clare they get an extra dividend of heat from Marlow’s Famous Reading Anthracite Clean because it's actually scrubbed clean at the mines.
