FOUR CLAIMANT
BID FOR $4,000
COWARD REWARD
Wilbur Simpson. or Near Flush'no'
and Conneaut Police Chief
Among Claimants.

The conviction Of Edward Long. %.
former Bellaire barber. last week In
St, Clairsville. OF the murder Of Chas.
Conard GAINESVILLE taxi driver mas
brought three more claimants for the
S.. 900 reward offered by the commits
sioners Of Belmont county for the
arrest and conviction OF Conard 8
murderer.
The first claim was filed by j. {.
(Red) Marcus. of SteubenVllle, VINO
declared he laid the trap which re-
suited in Longs arrest in Wellsvllle.
He is backed by the two officers who
took the youth into custody. Marcus
made known his inCntion OF seeking
the reward shortly after Long was
arrested.
Since the trial Wilbur Simpson. CT
near Flushing. has bid for the money
as have the chief OF police OF Con-
neaut, o.. and the family that +. A.
Vester end r. 4. Mclaughlin. occu.
pants of the automobile stolen from
Conard by Long stayed with while
there.
County Prosecutor Dixon declared
last night that court action was
probable before settlement was
made and he added that nothing
would be done until final disposition
had been made of Long.
Inasmuch as the convicted slaye!
has appealed for new trial and may
take an appeal in the event it Is re-
fused. It may possibly be year De-
fore it is known where the convic-
ton will stand.
Just what part Simpson payed IN
the arrest of Long has not been made
clear. 1t is understood, however,that
he furnished the Belmont county an
thorities with information tending 10
fasten the crime on him.
As to the Conneaut officer, accord
ing to information obtained last night
he simply executed the arrest OF Nc
Laughlin and Fester at the request
of the Belmont county authorities
and so far as the family is concerned
il was stated that their suspicious
were aroused by the actions OF the
men, and having read OF the Barnes
vile murder they connected the
stranger with the killing and told the
police chief there OF their belief.
1t was evident from the tenor OF
the opinions expressed by officers
last night in Belmont county that
Marcus has the edge in that his claim
Is fully supported by the arrestins
deputies.

WANTS WARNING OF
 IMPENDING STRIKES
l.. F. Loree Says Unions Ought To Give Employers At Least Two
 Weeks Notice.

New York, Oct. 2. - L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware and Hud- son railroad, speaking today before the clearing house section at the an nuai convention of the American Bankers association, declared that laws should be passed requiring that notice of intention that to strike or lockout be made to the authorities at least two weeks before the date fixed for such action.
 MT. Loree declared that if labor wants to retain the right to organize, it must assume the responsibilities en- tailed by that right and should share the restrictions and burdens of or ganizations of capital.
 To, this end he said, new legislation should put labor organization on a par with all other associations allow ing such organizations to sue and be sued, requiring them to keep records at the disposal of the authorities and prohibiting them from using their funds for political purposes Voting on strike and lockout question he de- clared should be supervised by state officers designated to deal with labor disputes.
 Tt is because I am sympathetic with labor" said MT. Loree that l venture these suggestions. Labor needs help from the outside. It needs to be rescued from an organization that has become its tyrant and which President Harding says has become ours"
