OFFICIALS CLAIM
 CHARGES AGAINST
 LABOR MEN PROVEN
Triumvirate of L cad CT s Sought to Control All Chi cago Unions-Criminals
 Highly Organized
By Associated Press


 Chicago, May 14-Search today through the mass of documentary ev- idence seized in a spectacular series of raids on union labor headquar- ters has supplied proof, according to - the police, that recent murders bombings and lawlessness resulted from the efforts of triumvirate of labor men to rule Chicago unions.
 The three men involved. who, the police said, were among the 15O seized several days following the murder of two patrolmen seeking 70 arrest four bombers, not only were living off the unions. but were double crossing them. It is claimed.
 Books. memoranda. letters. files and other matter. it was said, told how these men used the money col- lected as union dues to employ slhg- gers to intfmidate members of their own union and hold them in line.
 Not content with the large sums collected. much of which was ap- propriated to their own uses, it was said, members of the triumvirate also ployers of union labor to settle  needless strikes.
 Split Fly DissentiOn
 Playing both ends against the mid dle, dominating their own unions by fear, employing sluggers to beat up those who refused to acknowledge their authority and bombers to in- timidate employers. proved such a lucrative business, according to the police. that the trimutave itself was split by dissension and jealousy and the timely arrest brought at least a temporary end.
 Meanwhile attorneys were prepar- ing to go into court tomorrow with demands for immediate trials for their clients. who, they declared. were unjustly held. Reports that eonfes- many of those under arrest continued but the police refused to supply de- tails.
 Discovery that large part of the dynamite used by the gangsters in recent bomb outrages had been stolen from the city followed reports that a telephone device has been placed in or close to the cells of the i'm prisoned men and their conversations with their cellmates recorded.
 The revelations so far are said to show the existence of crime organ ization raised almost to the standa.d of efficiency in combating law and order as Is the police department in combating crime. Members of 'tht wrecking crew" 1t is said, were re- qnired to pull a box" at stated time, of the day just as patrolmen in re- porting to headquarters. That is, al stated intervals members of the garl were required to telephone to certair attorneys.

PASSION PLAY IS
 PRESENTED AGAIN
 IN BAVAR|AN TOWN
Thousands Flock to 0beram- mergau to Witness Life of Christ Enacted by Devout
 BaVarian Peasants
By Associated Press

Oberammergau, May 14.-Today saw the first public performance since 1910 of the world renowned Passion Play with the Highland CTS of this Bavarian village as the actors. In the wake of the most cruel and extensive war of history, the revival of the pageant dramati- zation of the life of Christ came to an audience of some 4,000 persons in what seemed particularly appropri- ate sequence to the conferences at Washington and Genoa.
 It was pointed out today that while at Washington and Genoa the expert political and economic build CTS of the world conferred on the re- construction of good will among men. the representatives of the four cor- ners of Christendom were beginning the seasons pilgrimages to Oberam- mergau to witness the establish interpretation of the foundation on which their religious structure was based in the career of the Man of Gallillee.
 T hope the Passion Play will con stitute basis from which a better understanding between nations may result" said Anton Lang, who plays the part of Christ.
 ssMnn of Peace-
 Lang's every gesture and his atti tude on or off the stage personifies a man of peace and his personality reflects the devout character and sturdy idealism which since 1633 has guided the villagers devotion in pre- senting the play every 10 years, ex- cept for few necessary interrup- tions.

Genoa, May 14.-French represen- tatives explained today that the French delegation was selected to approach the United States govern ment concerning membership in the proposed commission on Russian af- fairs because 1t was France that in- itiated the idea.
 France believes that her conception of how boIshecist Russia should be treated more nearly coincides with the views of the United States than any other nation. She has been re- luctant from the outset to engage in any nasty negotiations. and is in- stinctively opposed to any recogni- ton of communist government un- til that government demonstrates that it will adhere to it's agree ments, acknowledge the sanctity of property rights and cease its efforts to propagate conmunistic doctrines in territories beyond the Russian confines.
 France Is described also as believ- ing like the United States that the people of Russia should be given a real opportunity to decide their own form of government. although France, which had her own great feyolutionl has no concern or no idea of interference in the formation Of any type of government the Russian people may wish to establish. The plight of the conference with refer ence to Russia apparently has con- vinced all the delegates that nothing of permanent and international na- ture can be undertaken for Russia s reconstruction without the co-oper- ation of the United States. whose wealth. resources and political power they contend make her indispensable to any great wold restoration move ment
 If the Russian commission idea can be worked out, 1t Is the French conviction that the United States should be g.son q. free hand on the proposed board of inquiry, being al- lowed to direct its operations either in a managerial or advisory capacity or being bound by it's decisions only to an extent desired by the United States.
 FdHCe anu tHc pthSi pph VI . SIOts II ,.4 u4neacy inevitably attach Ing to inviting the United States to participate in any European assem- bly because of the determination of that country not to be dragged ci- directly or indirectly into European political disputes. As the proposed commission of investigation is ex- pected to consider matters strictly financial and economic in character, the powers think there can be no question of policies, and the United States could join the proposed inter- national board in the same manner as it will participate in the forth coming financial meeting at Paris to study the possibility of an interna- tionai loan for Germany, and later the assembly of banks to ensue at London to discuss currency, exchange and monetary problems in general.
 Frances request to the United States has been embodied in memo randum which Ambassador Child has cabled to the state department at Washington.

 The Queen discussed the forthcom- fnE marriage of her second daughter. Princess Marie. to King Alexander of Jugo -Slavia She said she was con fident this would be a step In the di- rcctton of unity and peace in the Bal Kans.
 Not Political Marriage
 But" Marie added, Tt Is a mis- take and unfair to say it Is a political marriage. You know. even among kings and princesses there is such a thing as love at first sight That is what happened in this case. The young King had never met my daughter until he came to Bu- charest last January. When he saw her he held out both hands and said I need you; my country needs you. Will you come and help us?' That simple. frank plea won her heart.
 '''rhe young Kings mother died while he was years old, and he never has known family life. Now he Is happy at the prospects of build Ing up a home with my daughter. for whose family he has developed an at taehment equal to her own. I am sure he Is happy to consider me as his mother. in the place of the one he scarcely knew"
 Marie said she often smiled at the potion she had been forced into by tho circumstance that she was the queen mother-in-law of the Balkans.
 T can assure you" Marie added laushingly, T am a very lenient mother law, and not the tradi- tional termagant. The children l have given the thrones of Greece, Rumania and Jugo -Slavia are su- premely happy with their choices. All are bound to get on well together, and if we have such peace and con- tentment in our family life, why can't we have 1t as political and geo. graphical neighbors? Whatever else I may be criticised for. won't be blamed for my efforts at bringing about peace and harmony in the Bal kans"

Now invitations from friends and petitions from womens clubs and civic societies are pouring in on her so fast that she finds it difficult to resist them. While the Queen has not received an official invitation from President Harding, it is known that the American government would welcome and entertain her.
 The Rumanian government would prefer that the Queen receive Il for nal invitation from the White House in order that there might be no mis- take as to her status. Marie's friends are urging her to postpone her coro- nation with King Ferdinand. which Is set to take place in Pennsylvania, and start for New York after she has fulfilled n few European court en- agreements.
 The Queen today made it clear to the Associated Press that if she went to the United States 1t would be with the obejct of seeing the country and thanking in person the thousands of Americans who helped Rumania so generouly during and after the war. She said it was absurd to think that she would engage in any motion pie
 
 Wishes To Meet Harding
 "I wish also" the Queen added. Ito see your big hearted. sympathetic and humane President, your enter prisng and clever men and your practical and resourceful women. desire especially to talk with your women and get the benefits of their ideas, widom and experience
 "I hope the American people do not believe for an instant the idiotic invention that l am going to appear as an actress in motion pictures. IL is altogether offensive and provoking to have my name linked with these things. especially when 1t is said l am to get such huge sums out of the enterprise. If one has to work quite as hard as l do to help others. suppose ones name is bound oc- casIonally to be taken in vain: but am too busy with my manifold duties to turn a hair about these fantastic publications.
