LOOKS BAD FOR
THREE CHICAGO
LABOR LEADERS
Police and State Attor-
reys Feel Sure of
Enough Evidence To
Convict Those Higher
Up

Chicago, May 15.-Eight labor mel
indicted on murder charges in connec
tiOn with Chicago's labor war; will
have preliminary hearings today be
fore Kickham Scanlon, chief justice
of the criminal courts.
Their attorneys have been instruct
ed to ask for habeas corpus writs
thus forcing the state, if it wishes tC
hold them without bail, to produce
evidence upon which hanging verdicts
are to be asked for the big three
labor leaders-"Big Tim" Murphy
head of the Gas House Workers
union; Con Shea, of the Theatrical
Janitors' union, and Fred Nader, pres
ident of the Chicago Building Trades
Council.
To support their demand for release
on bail the labor leaders will be rep.
resented by a strong array of legal
talent.
For this purpose it is alleged by
Henry Barrett Chamberlain, of the
Chicago crime commission, the labor
men are equipped with a million dol
lar "slush fund"
The police and states attorneys con-
nected with the case assert they have
sufficient evidence to warrant con-
tinued confinement of the indicted
men without bail.
I'VE have established that those
against whom murder charges were
lodged, actively engaged in a conspir-
acy to commit crimes out of which
killings occurred" Mr.. Chamberlain
said. I'VE have three astounding con-
fessions."
Alleged tactics employed by Fred
Nader in obtaining the presidency of
the Building Trades Council we're
barred today by members of that or
ganization who asserted that many
members, said to be antagonistic to
Nader, were kept away by sluggers
from the meeting at which he was
elected. Further, that only about one
third of the membership was present
when Nader was elected They have
not taken part in council meetings
since then, they declare. The build
ing strike scheduled by Nader to take
effect next Monday and involving 65-,
600 men, has been unofficially called
Off, it is said. The strike ballot was
to have been submitted to the 32 al
lied unions of the city for a referen.
dunn vote. The men were asked to
go out on a strike as protest against
the open shop, declared in the IL
trades black-listed by the citizens
committee, an organization to enforce
the Lands wage award, a decision
handed down by K. M. Lands, former
federal judge, then acting as arbiter,
which was intended to settle differ
ences between contracts and members
of the building trades council. None
of the II unions has voted on the
question and the leaders asserted yes
terday that no vote would be taken
until the council had been reorganized
and men of clean records put in
charge.

wounded second, and routed the
band empty handed.
Passengers were not molested in
the holdup which was staged at 1:1O

miles west of Tucson.
The slain bandit was recognized by
Sheriff Mcdaniel, of Pinal county, as
that of Tucson pool room habitue.
The man wore rubber gloves. Beside
the body was found sack of dyna-
mite with which the bandits evidently
intended to blow strong boxes in the
mail and baggage cars.
A red fuse, a railroad stop signal,
was used to halt the Limited. Three
masked men boarded the engine and
fourth stood guard over the pas
senger coaches. With revolvers lev
elled, they forced a tramp they dis
covered riding the blind baggage" to
assist them in uncoupling the mail
and express cars. The engineer, obey
ing orders of the armed trio, rolled
the cars about dozen car lengths to
a point where four other masked men
were waiting in an automobile.
When Conductor Madigan looked
out of the vestibule of a passenger
coach to ascertain what had occurred,
a member of the bandit gang opened
fire.
Meanwhile Stewart, the express
messenger, had thrown open the door
of the baggage car. When Stewart
saw that Madigan was in danger, he
killed with one shot the bandit who
had fired at the conductor. Stewart
then wheeled and sent another bullet
at four robbers who were advancing
on the baggage and mail cars. One,
apparently hit, staggered and shouted
to his comrades. Then all seven
turned and scurried to two automo.

TREASURE FROM

FOR THE HUNGRY
Soviet Government Is
Busy Filling Great
Storehouses With Gold,
Silver and Precious
Stones of Untold Value
To Be Sold for Benefit
of the Famine Suffer
erS

Moscow, May 15.-By The Asso-
ciated Press. Silver by the ton,
cold by the hundredweight, pearls by
the barrel and diamonds by the peel;
dumped into wooden boxes, ute
sacks, pasteboard cartons or merely
wrapped in parcels-all this treasure
horde awaits the opening and sort
ing at the storehouse for valuableS
confiscated by the Soviet government
from the churches and syngogueS Of
Russia for the benefit of the famine
sufferers.
The correspondent of the Associat.
ed Press was permitted to visit the
five story loft building which con-
stitutes the storehOuse, by consen'
of NJ. |. Kalenin, peasant president
of Russia, and head Of all the famine
relief organizations.
On tine floor of the building, about
100 feet long and As feet wide. is
already nearly filled with the articles
confiscated in Moscow alone, these
mounting to 10000 pounds of silver,
several hundred pound of gold and
over 10000 precious stones, mostly
diamonds.
Requisitioned articles from the pro-
vincial churches are to be stored on
the other four floors.
Each of the 624 packages in this
big room is sealed and they are stack
ed in tires, reaching almost to the cell
ing. The yield from some of the
monasteries was too large for sin
gle package, overflowing into smaller
boxes stacked beside them.
A rough list of the articles con-
fiscated accompanies each box as it
is brought, under heavy guard, into
the storehouse. but the exact value
only will be known when appraisers
open the parcels and sort their con
tents.
Experts and also the workmen,
who will unpack the boxes, are to be
of their ordinary clothing
and provided with pocketless suits
when the task of sorting begins.
Motor trucks. fairly bristling with
the bayonets of the soldier escort
drive up to the treasure house all
day and night bringing boxes from
the churches. From the outer gates
to the roof. the building swarms with
guards.
To get permission to enter it at
all, one must first visit another build
ing where some of the stae treasures
are stored and where soldiers even
prevent pedestrians from walking on
the side of the street on which the
