"ARlZoNA PHIL" BOOKED
FOR KIDNAPPING, BELIEF

lcl Paso, Texas, Dec. Police
Chief Lewis D. Oaks of Los Angeles
and Captain Claude Smith of the El
Paso detective force left here last
night on mysterious journey, pre-
sumably to Los Angeles, it was re-
yealed today.
Oaks presence in l1l Paso is be-
lieved to have been in connection
with another carefully laid plan to
kidnap across the border ARIZONA
Phil" Alquin, notorious Pacific coast
criminal.
The plan was for Arizona Phu'
to be returned from Chihuahua City
to the border, where officers were
to seize him and take him to Los
Angeles. where he is wanted for
the murder Of Police Sergeant John
]. Fitzgerald, it was authoritatiyely
learned. The reason for Oaks de-
parture before the plan had been
put through cannot be learned.
Smiths accompanying him was also
considerable mystery, upon which
local authorities refused to throw
light.
II was considered possibility
that the two officers would pick up
their man at some border town
while enroute to the California city,
but nothing definite could be learned
Of their plans.
An attempt to kidnap Alquin from
Juarez was frustrated several months
ago, when a Mexican mob came to
his assistance.

Lewis, who is president of the United
Mine Workers of America. proposes an
alliance Of the railroad unions and the
miners to resist contemplated wage re.
auctions. The conference was called by
Lewis.
The railroad union official frankly
declared they didn't know how they
stood on the proposition, and wouldn I
know until the question had been thor
oughly mulled over. They said they did
not know how far Lewis would want
them to 90.
Generally the belief was the idea would
be given the moral support OF tho rail
unions. At least that.
IT, however, the alliance contemplated
anything so drastic as sympathetic
strike April l with the miners in the
event the threatened coal strike material

They have the right idea Let Us
