Whitman, District Attorney Swann and Mr. Swann's chief of staff, Assistant District At- torney Banton, with two detectives of the department who, next to Oswald, are most familiar with the Blwell case, “In my own opinion,” said Cough- | lin, “and I think those in the confer- ence agreed with me, Harris's story is about as close to the Elwell murder as the City Hall is to Elwell's home in West 70th Street. The more we xo | into the details of the Harris story the further we get from the actual records made immediately after the murder.” Coughlin explained that this de- cision did not mean there was to be any lack of caution in letting Harris get loose. He had showed a familiar- ity with many of the circumstances of the murder which might mean that he knew things about it which the police did not know. He had at least, the Inspector said, suggested a “new scenario” for the crime which might be of value in future investigation, even though it should prove that he | had not been an actor in the plot.

LONDON, April 9 (United Press)—A special session of the British Cabinet was called this afternoon, following failure of the conference be- tween Premier Lloyd George and labor leaders to reach an agreement for averting the general strike ordered for Tuesday. When the Ministry went into session it was understood that the latest refusal of the Laborites to make concession was the principal subject under “The approach- ing strike ia the opening of @ Ren-| 4 sou seton, eral, decisive war between capital and labér,"* Ramsay MacDonald, La- The Triple Allignce leaders, who were visibly pessimistic when they bor leader in Parliament, declared in| left the Downing Street conference, went at once to labor headquarters, eR ld with The United Press) where they resumed their conferences with other labor representatives. “The general strike is not merely LONDON, April 9 (Associated Press).—Recruiting of volunteer work- @ walkout by miners, railwaymen and transport workers, but the show- down in the division of interests be- tween capital and labor generally,” Mr. MacDonald said. “Capital wan + to force labor to accept anything it wants to offer.
