After the armistice was signed
one and half years ago other ma

this in very large measure, but we

Suddenly the wheels of com,

"There are some who will claim
that this would have occurred re-
gardless of any freight increase.
There are others who claim that the

Revision of Wages.
"There are many who claim that
railroad wages must be reduced!
There are certainly many Inefficient

"At the same time there must be

One of the most sensational direct
references was in the charge made

yesterday at luncheon by Solici-
tor John Boykin, in which lie gave
names and called for the support OF
the people of the city in cleaning up
the situation. The charges were the
chief topic Of conversation every
where today, having come as a
bombshell upon the city.
Boykin charged that four promi,
nent men in the city government had
been affording protection" to the
graft and bunco syndicate, whose
operations here in three years clean
ed up more than a million dollars
and resulted in least one death
among their own number because the
victim "knew too much"

charged that from the papers and

wanted on charge of completely in
the Ansley Hotel murder, and as
head Of the bunco syndicate, he had
found that Chief of Detectives La

Mr.. Boykin was especially drastic

attitude of the police department to-
ward the syndicate of crooks, saying
that friendly raids We're made by

way that "the police department

ted for throwing the 1919 w0riai
series.
Every days delay in putting the
accused men on trial for conspiracy
filled the gamblers with hope that
the cases will be dropped, and to-
days action filled them with delight,
They fear that the centering Of

has injected into the great Ameri-

Their business in bets, pools and
lotteries total several million dollara

taken from suckers.
Spread Propagan6a.
SO they have been busy spreading
propaganda. They played on these
points:
THAT the game has been cleaned
up by the publicity given the origi-
nal expose;
THAT the crooked ball players
have been punished by being driven
from the game;
THAT revival of the cases through
the trials would injure the baseball
business;
THAT IL would be legally difficult
to prove the charges of eonsp;racy;
THAT if acquitted tie accused
damages.
But many fans throughout the
country have been voicing the de-
mand that the cases be pushed
through to their logical conclusion.
0They criticise letting some of the
crooked players live at ease on their
spoils. They say such punishment
should be meted out to them as viii
