SET DATE FOR
NEW EXAMINATION
New Examination of Can
didates for Postmaster
Held April 18th.
GORMAN HOLDS OVER

Notices reached Kenosha this morn
ing of the new examination to be held
under the civil service commission for
the office of postmaster of Kenosha as
requested by the postmaster general.
The examination will be held April
the 10Th and is open to both the form
err candidates and to any new candi-
dates who may apply for the Office. !.
A former examination was held
several weeks ago at which time Post
master German was the only one de-
clared eligible. Because he has been
declared eligible it is not necessary
and he is not allowed to take the ex-
animation again under the rules of the
civil service. Former candidates must
file new applications just as if they
had not been in a prior examination.
Expect New Candidates.
1t is expected that several new can
didates will enter the race. None of
the former candidates have announced
that he would withdraw and the com
mission will probably have at least ten
candidates to examine.
The notice for the examination di-
reefs that persons who desire to take
the examination SHOuIu Apply aL once
for Form 2241, stating the title of the
examination for which the form is
desired. Application should be made
to the civil service commission, Wash
ington, D. c., or at the post Office in
Kenosha. Applications must be prop
erly executed and filed with the COM
mission at Washington prior to the
hour of closing business on the date
set for the examination, April 18th.
The law stipulates that the COM
mission shall certify the names of
three eligibles to the postmaster gem
eral and he in turn to the president
for the appointment. With only one
eligible named in the former ex-
animation, the postmaster general
called for new examination.
German to Hold Over.
The announcement of the examina-
tion brought the news that the present
term of office expires next Saturday,
March the 22nd. In the absence of a
successor Postmaster German will hold
over until such time as an appoints
ment has been made. Whenever the
appointment is made it will be for a
full term of four years.

leader Moves to Establish
Labor Government
in u. s..
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent


Z; ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Aug. ..
Samuel Gompers, war Scared vet-'
Gran of Labor's half century fight
for supremacy, weakened by en-
l3croaching i'll health and with a
nurse and physician in con'yant,
lattendance, today began the biggest
Ihattle of his career.
I fIt is a battle which may result
IN the first nationally concerted
foiitical movement to establish n
ihbor government in the United
1 states paralleling the new labor
governments in Europe which have
|liisen to power in the revolt of the
Iarmer and the worker against old
lime political affiliations.
| Gompers is pictured by his closest
friends as believing now that the
best chance of success lies in ac-
| tion by the executive council of his
American Federation of Labor
swinging in behind the> presidential
candiaacy of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette. The courcil, beginning
hts second days session this morn
ing has before it the unanimous re-
concentrations of its political cam
paign committee giving a qualified
endorsement of the La Toilette can
|1dldacy. First formal discussion by
the council is scheduled for this af-
ternoon. The way is clear for adop-
ton of the report.
Decision Soon
La Folletteasfnav not satisfpzsrme
Of the traditions of the conserva !
tive federation, but the hopes Of I'LL
labor lie iii hrs fiiret.. ion, they saw.
And so Go,npers, a yeaf old, has
come TO take up the fight, perhaps
his last presidentia1S fight. His
health is so weakened that it is i'm
possible to say when the final action
of the council on the report will be
taken. af
The council intends to thresh out
fully the possible effects of its un
precedented step before it is taken,
according to Matthew VOL, chief
lieutenant to Gompers. 1t wishes
TO preserve carefully its former
policy of non partisanship. 1t. does
not desire topledges itself to all!
Progressive principles or give the
impression that it will not support
many regular Republican and Demo,
cratic candidates for the senate and
congress.
Qualified endorsement of the La
toilette Wheeler presidential ticket,
however. is no departure from the
old policies of the past, Gompers
believes tss''1 i!s y.
Indications are that the, decision
Of the committee win not be made
public before Monday at least and
perhaps later next week.

Grove scored, however, what he
considered successful attacks on the
credibility of the defense alienist
when his demand for Dir. White IS

was refused by the defense.
Grove declared that Dir. White,
in his first report, found Leopold

sanity as a defense, the doctor quite
