SAMUEL C0MPERS SAYS
EVERY EX-SERWCE MAN
SHOULD JOIN LEGION
States That Labor Has No
Quarrel With the
Legion Boys

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, IN a
recent communication to the secre-
tary of a union labor council in Cali
fornia said II cannot see any reason
why ex-service men, whether men,
bers of organized labor or not mem
bers of organized labor, should not
Join the American LEGION
1t is unnecessary to say that Pre-
sident Gompers has a reputation for
fearlessness and for devotion to his
organization If Gompers thought
for a minute that the American Le-
eion was inimical to the cause OF
labor no one who knows him can
imagine that he would hesitate to
say so and to warn union men
against affiliating themselves with
the Legion.
He knows that there is no clash
between the purposes OF the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Am
erican Legion. individuals In one or
ganization may have their diheren-
ces of opinion with individuals in
tho other, but that can not mean
that the organizations are at odds.
He "cannot sec any reason" for
union labor men not Joining the Le-
gion; as a matter OF fact, there Is
no reason. His statement confounds
the effort of certain 'tborers from
within" to make it appear that labor
has quarrel with the Legion.

Alleged Crook
w. l. BROOKS FURNISHES
VALUABLE INFORMATION
Baker Is Wanted in Several
Eastern Cities-Will Be
Taken to Indiana

name of G. W. Baker, but with {
string of aliases, including William
Cassell, J. w. Bates, J. R. Campbell
J. w. Wakely and J. W. Bennett, {
confidence man specializing in life
and accident insurance, was placed
under arrest by the sheriff at Thief
River Falls last night upon receipt
of wire from Sheriff johnson Of
Bemidji.
This man, under the name of Baker
visited Bemidji about two months
ago and was here again the latter
part of March. While in the city
he called on w. L. Brooks, cashier al
the Northern National bank, and en-
deavored to interest him in the insur.
ance line and get his assistance in
writing life insurance. Although
Baker was very persistent in his eff
forts to interest him, Mr., Brooks
refused absolutely to be interested
in any way. Through a physical de-
,scription of the man furnished by
Cashier Brooks, Sheriff Johnson was
enabled to wire the chief of police
at Thief River Falls last night and
the arrest was then made.
Not through any confidence work
in this city was any charge made
against this man, but his actions here
led to his arrest. On February Is
he worked his game at Lowell, Ind.
on February % at Hammond, Ind,
and on March / he was operating
in Minneapolis. After comparing the
description of the man, sent out by
the superintendent Of police at Elk
hart, Ind, with the man seen here
several times, he was traced to Thief
River Falls last night, as a result OF
a conversation Baker held with an
other man at local hotel a short
time ago.
Upon investigation at Thief River
late last night it was found that
the man answered to the description
and the arrest was made. E. w.
Fritz of Elkhart, Ind, representing
the chief of police at that city, spent
few hours in Bemidji today en- route
to Thief River Falls to get the man
who has been arrested and escort
him back to Indiana
