WASHINGTON: Feb. IT. President
Alison took a hand tonight. In the
Eastern shipyard labor strikes and is
ued a sharp rebuks to William I
Hutcheson. president of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, who.
after refusing to send striking- ship
carpenters back to work pending ac
tlon bjr the Shipbuilding Labor Adjust
tnent Board, bad asked for a. personal
conference to lay the situation before
the President.
Isaseedlate Cam fere axe) Dewled.
In effect, the President declared that
If Hutcheson did not want to give aid
and comfort to the enemy be would
send the men to work and leare a set
tlement of the differences to the Ad
justment Board and declined to see him
until he had done so. '
The President sent this telegram to
the union chief:
"William L. Hutcheson. General Pros
Ident United Brotherhood of. Carpen
ters and Joiners of America. New Tork.
I have received your telegram of
yesterday and am very glad to note the
expression of your desire as a patriotic
cltlien to assist in carrying,, on- the
work by which we are trying to save
America and men everywhere who work
and aro free. Taking advantage of
that-assurance. I feet It to be ray duty
" to call your attention to the fact that
the strike of the carpenters In the
shipyards Is In. marked and painful eon-
. trast to the action of labor In ether
' trades and places. Ships are absolute
ly necessary lor me.. winning or in is
war. No one can strike a deadlier
blow at the safety of the Nation and
of Its forces on the other side than by
interfering with or obstructing . the
Shipbuilding programme.
Isassedlale Reeaaptlea Advised.
"All the other anions engaged In this
Indispensable work have agreed to
abide by the decisions of the shipbuild
ing wsge adjustment board. That
board has dealt fairly and liberally
with all who have reported to It. I
must aay to yon very frankly that It
Is your duty to leave to It the solution
f your present difficulties with your
employers and to advise the men whom
you represent to return at once to work
pending the decision. No body of men
have the moral right In the present
circumstances of the Nation to strike
until every method of adjustment has
been tried to the limit. If you do not
act upon this principle you are un
doubtedly giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, whatever may be your own
conscious purpose.
T do not see that anything will be
gained by my seeing you personally
until you have accepted and acted
upon the principle. It Is the duty of
the Government to see that the bent
possible conditions of labor are ob
tained, as It Is Its duty to see to It
' that there Is no lawless and conscience
less profiteering and that duty the
Government has accepted and will per
form. Will you co-operate or will you
abstract?
WOODROW WILSON."
natrbcaos) Slaass Alewe.
The fact that other union heads are
refusing to support Hutcbeson's posi
tion and that they fear his attitude
may put labor generally In a false
light encourages Shipping Board of
ficials to believe that the carpenters
who are out In New Tork district and
at Baltimore will return to work even
If Hutcheson does not direct them to
do so. Carpenters" locals In other dis
tricts already are dealing direct with
the adjustment beard and those at
Baltimore have been given the privilege
of acceptance of the new Delaware
River wage award, announced last
eight, which grants a substantial in
crease In wages.
All other trades In the New Tork dis
trict except the carpenters have agreed
to leave a settlement of their claims to
the adjustment board and their de
mands will bo taken up within the
text week.
In reproving Hutcheson for declining
arbitration of differences with ship
yard managements. President Wilson. It
. was declared tonight, has ths whole
hearted support of a majority of the
, heads of American labor unions. Union
heads, it Is declared on authority, are
as eager as sre Government officials to
arrive at some arrangement whereby
differences may be adjusted before
strikes take place.

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 16. John Reed,
the writer, who is under Indictment In
the United States for alleged seditious.
activities, has arrived here from Petro
grad on his way to New Tork to take
up the post of Consul-General in that
city under a Bolshevik commission.
Reed told the Associated Press cor
respondent that, desiring to take a
quantity of notes ; and . other written
matter to America without interference
by the censorship, he visited Foreign
Minister Trotsky and asked to be ap
pointed a Bolshevik courier. Trotsky
told him. Reed said, that the govern
ment would do better than that and

Trotzky is said to have told Reed
that If any attempt was made by the
American authorities to prosecute him
under the pending indictment, the Bol
shevlk would retaliate on Ambassador
Francis. Reed's mission Is considered,
therefore, in the nature of a test to see
whether the United States dares defy

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Feb. 17. An American patrol
having passed the first line of German
entanglements and approached the sec
ond line last night was suddenly cut
off by a current of electricity along the
first wire line.
Instead of attempting an Immediate
return to their trenches, which would
have meant certain death from electro
cution or machine gun fire, the Ameri
cans clung close to the earth, and later,
when the electricity was cut off, re
turned in safety to their positions.
Sparks Reveal Menace.
It was a thrilling experience for the
patrol. A certain number of men set
out from the American position In the
hope of encountering a number of
enemy at a point in the German
trenches.
They had succeeded in getting through
the first line and had crawled on until
the second line was , reached. When
they were just about to start under the
second line there was a bluish glow.
and, turning around, they saw long.
livid sparks playing through the barbed
wire of the first line. The enemy had
turned on a powerful electric current.
The patrolers quickly flattened out
on the ground, thinking they had been
discovered and expecting to hear mo
mentarily machine gun bullets go sing
ing overhead. Nothing of the kind
happened, however. Apparently, the
Germans merely turned on the current
by chance, hoping that if any Ameri
cans were within the entanglements
they would be killed on the wire or
while trying to get out. The patrol
returned safely to the American lines.
Hoax Quickly Discovered.
The Germans, apparently having dis
covered the meaning of some of the
American rocket signals, last I night
caused the Americans for a consider
able distance along the front to pre
pare for a gas attack. At first the
Germans sent Into the air a rocket of
a certain color which is the American
signal for gas attacks, but the hoax
was discovered soon after the troops
adjusted their gas masks.
The Germans next sent up a rocket
calling for barrage by the Americans.
but the American officers on observa
tion duty in an advanced position
seeking whence the rocket came, sen

prevent it from laying down the need

Mission and Anarchistic Ad
dresses Are Met With Cheers.
CHICAGO, Feb. 17. (Special.) Heads
were cracked and bruised and wild
disorder prevailed today when police,
answering riot calls, with drawn revol
vers and batons, charged mobs of Chi
cago Bolshevik!, who, by the power of
fist and lung, took possession of a
meeting in honor of Professor George
Lomonossoff, president of the Russian
mission on ways of communication, at
the Douglas Park Auditorium.
Judge Harry Klsher, who was slated
as temporary chairman, was chased
from the speaker's platform and forced
to escape through a side entrance by
Infuriated men and women, who
screamed, "Long live the Bolshevlki!
Down with Fisher. We want Rodri
guez." and advanced toward the plat
form shaking their fists in his face.
Slavs Clamor to Enter.
Soon after 1 o'clock the hall, with
a capacity of 1400. was filled. Sud
denly approximately i 4000 men and
women, mostly of Russian extraction,
gathered in front of the building,
pounding upon the locked doors for
admission.
Meanwhile, Professor Lomonossoff ar
rived in the hall with several members
of his commission. Judge Fisher, as
temporary chairman, advanced to the
front of the platform. " Before the
Judge could speak, a red-faced Rus
sian boy, who had forced his way to
the front of the hall, stood up and
shouted "Tovarish," which means "Com
rade" in Russian. He whirled about
and waved his arms to the audience.
Crowd Is Menacing.
Bedlam broke out. "Long live the
Bolshevlki," shouted one, and dozens
took up the chunt.
"Down with Fisher," screamed an
other. "Give us a Bolshevik," was another
cry.
Finally one young man stood on his
clialr and bellowed, "Give us Rodri
guez." Judge Fisher hesitated a mo
men, and the crowd which had formed
in front of the platform grew thicker.
"Get off there." one stockily built
man shouted as he attempted to climb
up. Fisher disappeared behind the
scenery bordering the platform.
Professor Lomonossoff, inured to
riots and mob scenes during the Rus
sian revolutions, nervously glanced
toward the exit, then suddenly arose,
and, walking behind the sceucs, picked
up his coat and hat and started out.
Tomalt Grows Menacing.
The disorder in the audience had
grown to tumult. Dozens of speakers
jumped on their chairs and began in-
cendiajy speeches, free-for-all fights
broke out in five or six places as ora
tors disagreed. Chairs were broken
and knots of crowds swayed to aud
fro. Dr. Moses Sahaud. one of those
who arranged the meeting, jumped to
the front of the platform.
I am a Socialist," he shouted. "I
have been a Socialist 25 years.
Listen" a girl jumped up on her
chair "Down with the government, vve
want Bolshevlki only. Give us Rod
riguez," she screamed-
The crowd went wild again. On the
street in front of the hall the crowd
became disorderly and free-for-all
fights started. Suddenly a rush was
made that broke the doors from their
hinges.
Police Use Clubs Freely.
Theodore Gilman, manager of the
building, armed with a revolver, flour
ished it In the faces of those nearest
him and struck several of them with It.
Policemen from the Lawndale Station
arrived at this critical point and used
their clubs and revolvers freely, finally
routing the ring leaders. A call was
sent for more police as the disorder
in the hall above was approaching a
climax. Cpstairs, Professor Lomonos
soff, returning to the stage, offered
himself as a sacrifice to appease th
mob. He spoke in Russian.
"Who accomplished the revolution in
Russia?" he began. "Was it some
heroes or some half gods?- No. The
revolution was accomplished by tho
masses of the people whose political -conscience
had been slowly aroused
through the generations of workers."
The statement was interrupted by yells
of protest.
Alderman ttulets Slob.
"The Bolsheviki cannot be reproached
for lack of wisdom or will," he went on.
"But the Bolsheviki are going along
the same path that the constitutional
Democrats and the moderate Socialists
followed."
He was Interrupted by cries of "No,-
never, and The BolshevlKl wm rule
forever." These utterances provoked
long periods of cheering.
At this point Alderman RodeHguex
(Concluded on Page 2. Column S.).
