PASSING BUCK
IN CRAFT QUIZ
Busy Dodging Payroll"
Expose

Since the charge made by Attorney
|O'Donnell that 300 of the Chicago po-
licemen were on the Genna payroll, in
the trial Of the Genna gunner, Albert
Alselmi and John Scalisi, States At
torney Robert Grove and United
States Attorney Edwin A. Olson have
been passing the buck back and forth
as to whose duty it is to get the
Genna payroll and prosecute the Of
tenders for conspiring to violate the
prohibition law
United States Attorney Olson re-
fuses to handle the case until after
the states attorney his been given
ample" time to act upon it.
States Attorney Grove refuses to
handle the case claiming that the
United States attorney must FIRST take
action in this case as It concerns a
violation of the federal law.
The various heads of the police de-
partment are still threatening a shake
up Of the police force, but they will
not do so at the present moment, "as
it may endanger the states cases"
against the two gunner.
1t has become known that the day
that the Genna gang and the police
shot it out, that number of police
broke into the Italian-American So
cial Club headquarters, 1929 West
Taylor street, in an attempt TO seize
the Genna payroll records fearing
that an exposure would result.

PASSAIC, Nov. 5.-The mill owners
are planning a new attack against the
weavers. The Battoney just had a
wage cut of 10 per cent and it is the
question of short time when it will
be followed in the other mills. In case
the weavers do not organize, they will
suffer wage cut and starvation they
never had before.

textile workers which consists of the
delegates from different unions locals
and textile mills, have put is aas their

workers participated. Other mass
meetings are going to be held, one
for each nationality in order to ex-
plain their situation to them. At
every meeting we are going to have

Lame DUCK IS
LOBBYIST FOR
M|LL|ONA|RES
MondeH AdUiSer to Cal
Coolidge
BY LAURENCE TODD,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. w. MondeIl
OF Wyoming, former old guard ma
chine boss in the house, defeated in
the race for the senate against Ken
driek and then consoled by appoint
nent to the war finance commission
until he launched upon career as
lobbyist and adviser to big corpora
tlons at the national capital, has APP
peared in the tax legislation fight.
He has sent to all press correspond
ents three speeches which he has de-
livered in defense of the Coolidge
Mellon tax-shifting plans. One is en-
titled National Tax Reform and Re-
duction." and it was delivered April
10 last before the Louisiana Bankers
association, at New Orleans. The
next was called Federal Tax Policies
and 0heir Effect on the West" deliv-
cred June II at the South Dakota
Bankers association convention at
Brooikngs. The third was entitled
Federal Tax Reform" and was heard
by the Hamilton Club of Chicago on
June Is.
Make Little Fellow Pay.
The substance of Mondells pro-
gram of tax-shifting from the big and
strong to the little and patient shout
ders is set forth in resolutions
adopted by the Louisiana bankers
after he spoke. They denounced the
federal income tax rates as excessive,
favored maximum surtax rates of
less than 25 per cent" demanded
abolition of the federal inheritance
tax, call upon democrats in congress
to deal with taxation as nonpartisan
question, and 4call for repeaI of the
publicity clause in the income tax
law
Enemy Of Labor.
Mondell was known in Washington
for many years as an active agent Of
every interest, opposed to the farm
ers and to organized labor He was
retired from congress on his record.
He was for tina treason taken up by
Coolidge. He can now be seen, often
enuf, in the entrance lobby of the
White House offices, conducting vari-
Gus Substantial" individuals into the
presence of Coolidge. He offers adj
vice to Coolidge and his clients seem
to find satisfaction in the fact that he
5 puts away coat and hat and looks
quite at home when he gets to the
White House. Now that congress is
about to take up tax legislation he is
buster and more patronizing in man
ner than ever.
Praises Large Fortunes.
His clients who now print and cir
culate his tax-shifting arguments are
assured of his loyalty by this typical
paragraph in his talk to the Hamilton
Club: Il know of no excuse that can
be offered for the present federal state
tax, except the possible one of So
cialism, and | agree with President
Coolidge that governments should
not seek social legislation in the guise
of taxation, and that large fortunes
properly managed are not necessarily
a menace to our institutions"
Preliminary exchanges of views
among the progressives in congress
who will follow the lead of Senator
Norris indicate that the administra-
tion tax scheme will be fought every
inch of the way. The progressiyes
will insist on publicity of income tax
returns, retention of the federal es-
tates (inheritance) tax, and reduction
of the income tax on smaller incomes
before reduction is made on the
larger incomes.

To crossbreed Apes.
''In the actual experiments of cross
breeding man and the higher apes
we expect to use representatives of
the most primitive African tribe, and
chimpanzees which are the most man
like of the apes.
"The experiment will be expensive
because the higher apes do not multi
ply in captivity, and it is necessary
to take an extensive staff, with ex-
pensive equipment to tehir homes.
The Pasteur Institute experimental
station in French Guinea is ideally
located for the work. 1t is in the
midst Of vast forests Astounding in

DR.. Ivanoff said that if the expert
ments gave positive results, the ex-
petition might remain many years in
the Pasteur station, repeating and ex-
tending the work until complete proof
had been obtained of the relationship
of man to lower forms of animal life.

EFFEcTIyE ADVERTISING

ADVERTISING, it is universally
"A agreed, is great force in mod
ern business. eyes l know that adj
vertising pays, but" says the average
man, and in that word "but" lies the
explanation for the absence of adver-
Using from few firms in the col
umns of the Courier Reporter.
We hear of the big pay that ex-
perts in advertising receive, and I'M
aeine that there is something occult
about advertising, something that the
average man cannot comprehend
without long and careful preparation
But this is fallacy. It is not diff
ficult for anyone who can think clear
" to prepare effective advertising.
Such advertising might not be
suited to the full page space OF
great national magazine, but it may
apply very well to the people in the
community for whom it is written
There is no mystery in advertising
It is not an occult art that can DC
practiced only by the initiated.
It is merely common sense-sales
nanship in print. What are the facts
that the prospect for any piece G.

Hold Two Cops AS
Robbery Suspects

Green Bay, Wise between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth of furs were
stolen some time last night from the
United Cloak company here and two
policemen are under suspension as a
result of the robbery. The robbers
escaped in a touring car belonging
to w. &C. Mossberger, stolen from the
street, police believe. The loss of the
furs is covered by insurance.
Mr.. Mossberger this morning iden-
tilted car cushion found in the rear
of the cloak store as belonging to his
automobile. The robbers gained en-
trance to the store through back
window.
officer Julius Coppens claims to
have found the back door of the store
open with skeleton key in the lock
about 1880. Again at about 400
o'clock he noticed coat hangers strewn
about the alley. Coppens says he re-
ported both incidents at once.
Joseph Meme, night desk SER
geant, claims the first incident was
not reported.
Neither the store proprietor nor the
police chief were notified until about
five o'clock. Captain Herman Holz,
acting chief of police, suspended both
men this morning.

Bench Warrants
For Delinquents
Judge Slater Issues Bench Warrants
for Those Who Failed to Obey
Court Summons.

Delinquent personal property tax
payers who refused to heed the sum-
mons sent to them to appear in muni-
cipal court and explain why their tax
es had not been paid got more force
full reminder of their delinquency this
morning when Judge John G. Slater in
the municipal court issued bench war
rants directing that they be taken into
custody at once and brought into
court. The failure to obey the sum-
mons constitutes contempt of court
and authorizes the immediate issuance
of bench warrants.
Those named in theabench warrants
issued this morning were Herman Cic-
chini, Sylvester Covelli, Axel Everson,
Frank Giavanni, Gilbert Harkelrod and
Martin j. Herman. Similar bench war
rants were issued previously for Will
liam Creedon, Charles Kopp, Harry
O'Neil and Eva Ruppa.
All of these are delinquent in the
payment of personal property taxes
and up to the time of the issuance
Of the bench warrants had failed to
heed all notices sent them regarding
such delinquency. Since the serving
of the bench warrants some of these
named have made settlement of the
delinquent taxes, amounting from a
few dollars up to fifty dollars.
