IS FALSE, SAYS NESBITT

Says Support Is Not Withdrawn.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 20. = "Abso-
lutely false" were the words with
which Walter Nesbitt, secretary treas
urer of the Illinois U. NJ. w. A. greeted
the report from Kansas that financial
support had been withdrawn from the
fight against the Kansas industrial
court law.
mo support has been withdrawn
from the Kansas miners" Mr.. Nesbitt
said. THE only thing we have done
is to transfer the physical cash from
the state of Kansas to Illinois. The
money is now in our hands but our
support is still with Kansas"
Asked the reason for the tranfer
Mr. Nesbitt said it was because Thomas
Harvey, provisional secretary-treas-
urer of the Kansas district is opposed
to Howat and his fight against Gov
ernor Allen.
I'VE did not want our money in the
hands of man of the other camp.
We prefer to have charge of It our
selves" he said.

TO TRACE POISONED CANDY
Postoffice Inspectors Busy in Effort to
Locate the Sender.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Postoffice in
spectors and the police continued to-
day their efforts to trace the sender
of poisoned candy that endangered the
lives of six nurses at the West End
hospital. All of the nurses today had
virtually recovered.
Benjamin and William Zimm
admitted rivals for the hand of Miss
Helen Rosenfeld, the nurse to whom
the candy was sent, were held by the
police for further questioning. Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Krause, who were
taken into custody yesterday, were
released after being questioned. Mrs.
krause is a sister of the Zimmerman
brothers.
Police Inspector E. H Thiele, was
investigating reports that threatening
letters had been received by DR..
Benjamin Breakstone, superintendent
of the hospital, from the husband of
a woman who died during a caesarian
operation. The theory held by the
police is that the candy was sent to
Miss Resented by disgruntled sutton.

membership, they could have main
tanned the good will of the public
which they had a few years ago.
Many of the leaders in their greed for
power have become more and more
unreasonable until they are making it
impossible for many mines to operate.
Perhaps only when they have driven
the mining industry to the open shop
will they learn that thru their greed
they have lost all that the conserva-
tive leaders OF former yeaH0 had
gained for them
Critcises Check-Off SysSem.
Mr.. Taylor criticised adversely that
part of the contract between the oper-
ators and miners known as the check
off system; originally, he said, it was
designed to check off nominal dues
and sick benefits. Today. he asserted,
its purpose is abused until it has be-
come a menace to public welfare and
is used to check off a large percent
age of the mems wages.
The vast sums obtained" he said,
ARE used for purposes far remote
from that intended in the original con-
tract The huge sums have been ex-
pended to carry on a law1ess war con-
dition in more than one non-union
coal producing state. These funds
have been diverted in another state
and used for the defense of the 1. w.

the laws of the nation. 1t was the
vast sum created by the check-off
which made conceivable the nation

people were threatened with freezing

to enforce their demands.
