REPLY FROM
MORRISON
Secretary of American Federation Of
Labor Answers Plea Of Bankers
for Reduction of Out
put.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Secretary
Frank Morrison, of the American
Federation of Labor today replied to
the American Bankers association,
which, yesterday in convention here,
adopted resolution calling on labor
''to abandon the economic fallacy that
it can attain greater prosperity
through a reduction of output"
"The bankers" said Morrison, ere
peat photographic utterances about
labor, capital and brains and the need
for labor to produce more"
"These bankers are delightful hui
morists when they lecture labor about
producing more. Let them tell their
story to the automobile workers in
the middle west who are laid off by
thousands. Let them preach to tex
tile workers in the east, where mills
are shut down by one of the nations
most powerful and richest trusts. Let
them tell building craftsmen their
story. Let them tell coal miners tc
work more when the records show
that for the last twelve months these
miners have produced more than SO,
600 tons more coal than in the pre-
vious twelve months"

There was no answer. I shot once
and the body fell TO the floor and

| Police wero unable to find logical
explanation Of why Rev. Rur had
gone 10 the second floor instead OF
stopping at his own apartment. The
theory wRs advanced that he might
have absent-mindedly walked past his
own door.
Sextro denied he had quarreled
with the pastor over rents.
Following his preliminary exami-
nation, police held Sextro for further
questioning.
Mrs White, who occupies the
apartment just above the Sextros.

had been awake some time and her
mind was perfectly clear so that she
remembered distinctly what sne

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Frederick
Sextro, wealthy manager OF coal
company here, admitted today, police
said, he shot and killed the Reverend
Frederick Ruff, pastor of the Me-
mortal Methodist church in the ex-
elusive North Shore district and
owner of several large apartment
buildings.
Reverand Ruff was shot while IN
his apartment shortly after seven
O'Clock this morning.
Sextro, when taken to the Rogers
Park police station, declared he mis-
took the pastor for burglar when
he met him in the hallway.
Sextro occupied an apartment
above the one in which the pastor
and his family lived. According to
Information given police, Sextro was
among the many tenants Of buildings
owned by the pastor who had quar-
relied with Rev. Ruff recently be-
cause Of large Increases in REM.
The pastor, his wife and three chill
dren were preparing to go to Melvin.
Illinois, where they planned to visit
a brother of Mrs. Ruff.
Mrs. Ruff and the children went
out to the automobile in front Of the
apartment house where they made
ARRANGEMENTS for the trip while Rev.
Ruff was supposed to be shutting the
windows, locking the doors and get
ting the apartment in shape to leave.
Helen. fourteen year old daughter
of the pastor, said her father had
been out to the automobile once,
bringing out some packages and had
returned to the apartment to be sure
everything was all right before 1eav-
ing.
1--WE heard slight noise and a
sound like a shot, but thought moth
ing of it," she said. 'A minute later
"a man came running around the cor
ner of the building and said there
had been a shooting.
"My mother rushed into the hall
way and I stayed in the automobile
TO take care of the other two chill
dren.
"Finally after the ambulance came
7 went in, too, and saw papa lying on
the floor with a lot of blood around
him.
Mrs. Ruff was overcome and could
not talk. She was the first one to
shooting.
Helen Ruff is in her first year of
high school and the eldest OF the
three. The other two children are
seven and two years of age.
During the Investigation few
months ago by a committee Of alder
men into the high rent conditions in
Chicago, the Rev. Ruff was among
the landlords called to. explain why
he made such large Increases in
rents.
Rev. Ruff was shot once in the
chest.
According to the story told Lieu
tenant Martin O'Malloy, at the police
