SQUEEZE OUT THE WATER From Ship Yards To Lumber Strikes
The metal and building trades councils vote to strike in Seattle shipyards over lumber sourced from 10 hour mills.

Sweden Gives Empty Excuse To This Nation
The Swedish minister at Buenos Aires delivered an oral explanation to Secretary Lansing regarding the Luxburg affair. Charge Akerhielm submitted Sweden's explanation, previously released to the press in Stockholm.
