New York, June 9.-Moses D.
Kestlinger, clerk in the city hall
postoffice, was arrested by postal in
spectors today on a charge of stealing
an insured parcel containing pearl
necklaces, which had been mailed to
a Nashville (Tenn.) department
store. The value of the parcel was
not made known. United States
Commissioner Hitchcock held him in
$1,000 bail for further examination
According to federal authorities,
the arrest of Kestlinger revealed
him to be but a cog in an organized
syndicate Of crooks operating ma
tionally, which is in possession of
plans of postoffices in New York city
and elsewhere. The crook organiza.
ton, the authorities say, also has
charted data on the movements of
mail trains and registered mail.
Crooks within the inner circle of the
postal thief band, the federal authori-
ties aver, have 'cashed in" on this in
formation in excess of $10,OOO,OOO in
two years.
The federal authorities further
aver that information concerning
mail movements and postofiice plans
throughout the country is sold in the
underworld to any. of it's denziens
who wish to purchase. A large num-

DISCUSSION OF
PHILLIPS CASE

Washington, June 9.-The case Of
j. l.. Phillips, chairman of the Geor-
gia state Republican committee, who
is at liberty on $4,000 bail following
his arrest on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the government through
contracts for disposal of surplus lum-
ber, was brought up again today on
the floor of the house.
Representative Woodruff (Republi-
CAM of Michigan asserted he had
been informed from two separate
sources that Phillips had stated
week prior TO his arrest that the case
against him probably would not be
pushed further than his apprehen.
sion. Phillips, according to Mr.
Woodruff, held the belief that things
on the hill' (the capitoD had come to
such condition that certain authori-
ties deemed his arrest necessary but
were prepared to let the matter rest
there.
The charge that Attorney General
Daugherty had used the Phillips case
to Shield himself from public criti-
cism' was made by Representative
Larsen (DemocraD of Georgia.
Representative Begg (Republican),
defending Attorney General Daugh-
erty, declared if he was "one-half as
guilty as some people had charged"

soon find it out The Ohio member

that it has not all been made by the

G0MPERS CRIFICIZES
COURTS DECISION

Cincinnati, June 9.-Protests of or
ganized labor, as voiced here today
at preliminaries for the annual con-
vention next week of the American
Federation of Labor, conferred against
the supreme court, the congress and
state legislators in general.
Samuel .Gompers, president of the
federation, in addressing a club of
business men, interpreted the su-
preme court decision in the celebrated
Coronado coal case as negation of
the right to strike and declared that
organized labor would appeal to con-
gress for new legislation setting aside
the decision.
In criticising the supreme court,
Mr.. Gompers said that he expected
to be "taken strictly to account" for
his utterances, adding, 81 do not run
away from fight"
"But it has come to pretty pass"
he continued, "when an American cit
izen can no longer discuss and criti-
else the decision of the courts. Any
one, if he feels so disposed, can criti-
else even the president of the United
States, or the United States senate,
or the congress. Pray of what flesh
are the members of the supreme
court that they are above criticism
beyond that of the president of the
United States?"
In his speech, Mr.. Gompers said
the Coronado decision made interna-
tional unions indorsing strikes liable
for damages, and he asserted this
meant the unions must withstand
constant litigation or go out of bust.
