The first two explained conditions con-l fronting the industry and emphasized need for readjustment. The third, {ssued May 24, contalned a concrete proposition for résumption of opera- Uons, with a small wage reduction that would bring the scale down to in effect in many of the larger s of the country. Company’s Explanation “Phe necessity of arranging for mutual bargaining between the com- pany and its employes was urge for the sake of preventing strikes in “he future by reconciling difficulties by mutual agreement before, instead of after, the stopping of the machines” ontinued the statement. “There was no disguise of the company's ex- ressed desire to bargain with its pwn employes collectively and the ompuny’s willingness for its em- 1loyes to be members of trade unions us plainly stated The company asserted that at a (onterence here this month, em- ployes, had protested against any re- uction In the wage scale-—which e gompany sald two and a half tm as great as in 1915—but had made no counter proposal.

Washington, June 25.—The senate naval committee investigating dis- missal after court-martial of Captain Edmund G. Chamberlain, San An- tonio, Texas, marine corps aviator, whose story of a sensational battle with German planes on the western front led to his return to private life, closed its doors to the press to- day soon after the inquiry started. “This is a naval mattér,” Chair- man Ball stated, “and until it is es- tablished that the navy treated this captain right 1T am of the opinion that the investigation should be con- duced in executive session in accord- ance with custom.” Major Seth Williams, U. 8. M. C., counsel for Chamberlain, stated at the outset that investigation had con- vinced him of the truth of Captain Chamberlain’s claims that while on a furlough visit to a British sector in July, 1918, he participated in ‘an air battle in which he brought down five German planes, damaged two others and accomplished other un- usual feats. Major Williams charged that Captain Chamberlain had been accorded no opportunity to gather evidence to substantiate his story, the denial of which by British offi- cers, he said, led Admiral Sims, then commander-in-chief of American naval forces tm British waters to or- der an inquiry. ajor Williams said Captain A. N. Proctor, U. 8. N., who was detailed to conduct a preliminary inquiry b came convinced that Captain Cham- | berlain was guilty of falsehood, and decided to recommend that testimony by the defense be dispensed with. At this point the committee closed its doors. . ATTELL IS RELEASED ‘Writ of Habeas Corpus Is Issued When Fofmer Prize Fighter Contébts Arrest in Baseball Case.
