Chicago, June ga special fedora!
grand Jury will convene on July Is .
Investigate charges that building cor
tractors in Chicago have been black
mailed out of large sums by business
agents Of unions, who threatened TO tie
up work by calling strikes.
District Attorney James II. Wilker-
son made this announcement to-day
and subpenaed seven men who John j.
Mclaughlin. the complaining contrsc.
tor. asserted would verify his story o.
graft.
The government prosecutors nave
taken up the charges because IL IS al
legged that interstate shipment OF build
ing materials has been interfered with
owing TO refusals Of Mclaughlin to
submit to demands o. the union agents.
George Golden. OF tn" executive com

Its all prophecy" continued Mr.,
Payne with a sweep Of his arms, land
YOU have been prophesying from the
time you put this law on the statute
books You prophesicd you we're not
going TO have any trouble; there was
no trouble with business; everything
was lovely. And while everybody else
in the United States whose judgment
was Of any account knew that business
was rotten, you kept putting out that
statement. And finally an intimation
Of the condition Of business got to the
White House, and the President, who
was optimistic. finally admitted that
while business is not as good as 1t
might be. yet the depression IS merely
psychologicCl,' and il should not be
blamed on the Underwood tariff.
"Then you put your currency bill on
the statute book late in December. Still
there was something the matter? Bust

So the man who controls Congress and

while none Of you dare say his soul

will disappear and the ClGhin failures
will disappear. and business will bios

Partly because she PROMISED her re-

stand for taking the boys away and
partly because she wanted to have her

institution and passed out ice cream
and compliments.
Miss Davis was frank in SAYING she
had an axe to grind in yesterdays per-
Torrance. In fact, she had planned to
have the prison battalion appear in the
police carnival at Brighton Beach in
order to show how willing the young
men were TO try for better things
and SJJ0,000.
The $4,000 is the amount OF an APP
preparation made some time ago for
new buildings for the reformatOry al

them on farm colony, away from the

TO imagine them the corner boys OF Q

the soldiers Of TIart's Island drilled
without pause, sloping OF finally erect
and in line TO the strains OF band
that burbled 20 much water in the

The Disappointment of the reioTmG-
