LEATHER WORKERS
UNION GROWS

Kansas City, Mo.-Progress is be-
ing made by the United Leather
Workers international Union in their
organizing campaign. General Presi-
dent Bryan has returned from Chicago
where he assisted in organizing more
than one-half of the workers engaged
in the fancy leather goods trade in
that city. These workers produce
ladiess handbags, bill folds, pocket
books and similar articles. Another
gain in that city was the recent affil-
iation of union that has remained
independent for six years.
Officers of this international union
suggest that trade unionists in other
callings can assist this organizing
campaign The union has jurisdiction
over the leather working industries,
except boot and shoe workers and
glove makers. Most of these workers
are engaged in the harness and sad
dlery, travellers goods, leather novelty
and the the tanning industries.

FIGHTING LEADER
OF Tenants Freed After 13
Days in TOmbs

BY International Labor News Service.
New York.-Capt. Harry Allen Ely,
leader of the tenants associations, has
been liberated after spending 13 days
in the Tombs. A sentence of three
years Imprisonment, the extreme
penalty, still hanging over him, for
he has been convicted of criminally
libeling q lower court judge who had
made some adverse decisions in ten
nants' cases. In granting certificate
of reasonable doubt, Supreme Court
Justice Wagner found that the prose
cutors had confused criminal seditious
libel and had in effect told the jury
that in criticizing court, Captain
Ely had been trying to overthrow the
government.
This accusation is not without its
humor, for the accused is veteran
of three wars, is II years old and
served in a bomb school at Morgan
N. j., during the World war although
he was too old to be accepted for ac-
tive service.
The case may be taken to the ap-
pellate division. Meanwhile the ole
fight of the sanctity of the courts
from criticism is being taken to the
people.

Announcement of the change in
firm name of Bonner & Cahill, funeral
directors, to w. F. Cahill q Sons,
comes simultaneously with the cele-
bration on Saturday of the fiftieth
anniversary of the founding of the
organization.
On March 1, 1875, the firm which
is now w. F. Cahill & Sons and
which has been known since 1905 as
Bonner & Cahill, was founded by
Jacob Seybold and Nicholas Bonner.
Practically nothing was known of
embalming when Seybold & Bonner
opened their first office. The chief
function of the undertaken was to con-
struct, from measurements made with
a bit of cord or similar crude device,
the coffin for the deceased. About
ten years after the founding of Sey-
bold & Bonner, icing, an almost
equally crude practice, was begun.
The first embalming was introduced
shortly afterward None of the scien-
tific methods were known or employ
ed None of the dignity of the work
of the modern funeral director was
known. For forty years, during
which the firm kept pace with every
new advancement, embalming and
funeral directing became more and
more an art. At the present time,
the funeral director must be skilled
both in the technical practices of
funeral directing and in the finer arts
of the profession, such as the digni-
| fled and proper methods of funeral
conduction with due consideration of
the grief of the bereaved family.
Returning to the history of w. F.
Cahill & Sons, the firm known at the
beginning as Seybold & Bonner con-
tinued under that name until 1899
when Mr.. Seybold died and Mr.. Bon
ner took his son into the firm, chang
ing the name to N. Bonner & Son
In 1905, when Mr. w. F. Cahill pur-
chased half-interest, the firm name
was again changed, to Bonner &
Cahill. In 1916 when Mr.. Bonne,
passed away, Mr. Cahill was left te
carry on the work alone. The firm
name, however, was left unchanged
until the present time. Recently Mr.
Cahill's eldest son, Robert, came into
the business and a younger son
Thomas, is preparing himself fol
membership.

this, the Oldest firm of funeral direc-
tors in Hamilton, is the fact that
none of the partners ever left the
organization for any reason other
than death Each partner, during the
years of activity, contributed to the
ever growing prestige of the partner
ship; each worked to implant more
deeply the seeds of confidence in the
minds of the people of Hamilton.
Fifty years of faithful, dignified
and progressive service are behind
W. F. Cahill 6 Sons today. The rec
ord of the firm is one well deserving
of pride 1t is a record of interested
personal service, fully cognizant OF
the grief and sorrow which attends
bereavement. The sorrow of many
a bereaved family has been allayed,
to degree, by the careful and digni-
fed manner in which all of the sad
details of the passing of a loved one
have been handled by the company.
All equipment of the company is of
the finest-motor hearses, ambulances
and cars; the stock of caskets is large
and varied; beautiful and dignitied
funeral chapel is maintained for use
if desired.
Because of earlier connections on
the part of w. F. Cahill, the old firm
was popular in the ranks Of organ
lied labor. Mr.. Cahill-Walter, as
everybody knows him-for 13 years
before entering the undertaking busi-
ness worked at the trade of pattern
making He was many years mem
Der of the Pattern Makers Union.
He represented his local in Trades
Council, was for two years president
of the organization; in fact, ne was
holding that position at the time he
went into the undertaking business
in 1905. At present he holds an
honorable withdrawal card from the
union which he keeps constantly in
safety deposit box in bank together
with other papers he prizes most
highly. and he takes much pride in
displaying it when opportunity arises.
Old union members well remember
Walter as being live wire union
man.
Residents of the community will
be pleased to congratulate the firm
and wish it, under the new name
w. F. Cahill & Sons-the same sue
cess as has characterized it in the
past.

ACCUSE PHONE OPERATOR
OF DELAYING FIRE ALARM
Lack of Five Cent Piece Said To
Have Halted Emergency Call
From Berlin

Officials of the local telephone
company will undoubtedly investi-
gate the alleged refusal of one of the
operators to put through a call to
the fire department until the caller
dropped a nickel in the pay station
today. The incident is said to have
occurred when an attempt was made
to summons the local fire depart
ment for the blaze in the home of
John Gerdis in Berlin this morning.
Chief William J. Noble said this
afternoon that he had received COM
plants that the call was delayed for
about five minutes because of the
refusal of the operator to make the
connection. Tt pa ty who discov-
cred the blaze and attempted to
make the call did not happen to
have a nickel, and declaring that
the call was for fire availed moth
ing, according to the report to Chief
Noble. AS a result, there was wild
scurrying around to get nickel and
give the alarm to the fire depart
ment.
As minutes are very valuable TO
the fire department in getting notice
of fires, because of the great head
way a blaze can make in a short
time, Chief Noble was interested In
the complaints and will probably
take the matter up with telephone
officials to protect the department
and property owners against such
delays In the future.

Ing holdup in Chicagos financial
district early today, three Federal
Reserve Bank messengers were rob-
bed Of an express package and two
small sacks OF registered mail by
three men who escaped with others
In two automobiles.
James B. McDougal, governor OF

Richard Flaska and Julian Glomb.
were returning to the bank with the
pouches in a hand cart when they
were stopped two blocks from the
bank. which is In the heart of the
La Sale street district.
Threatening them with pistols
and a sawed-off shotgun, the rob-
bers compelled the bank employees
to raise their hands while they toss
ed the sacks into one of the waiting
automobiles and took the express
package from Nordell. They leaned
back into the automobile and sped
away.

ed his usual custom In going alone
to the express office and then to the
post office, where he was joined by
Falska and Glomb with the regis

police today are seeking Sol Apple
baum of $50 Woodland street, Hart
ford, about 40 years old, as the sus-
pected Intermediary between Reis-
Ing and Testers cowboy" gang.
Reising is said to have told Dis
trict Attorney Murphy that Apple
baum was the man wanted and that
the last time he had seen him was
on Friday. Neither Mr. Murphy.
Sergeant Oliver nor the state police
OF Connecticut would comment on
the part Applebaum is suspected as
playing In the case. although Mr..
Murphy intimated that the police
were on his trail by saying he could
say nothing until Applebaum was
arrested.
Mr.. Murphy declared that he had
no definite information on plans of
the gang to commit burglaries in
Hartford, but that Markule, whose
"squealing" brought about the ar
rest of the gang had told the police

store in East Hartford.
Hiram Percy Maxim, president OF
the Maxim Silencer Co., today said
the report that Reising had obtained
so silencers from the Maxim plant
was grossly exaggerated. He said
yesterday New York detectives and
State Policeman Fred Hansen in
spected his books and took the rec
ords back to New York with them
Assistant District Attorney Murphy
of New York has stated that Reis-
ing admitted he bought only three
silenceFs from the Maxim plant
Mrs. Reising has said her hus-
band had been employed by the

opee Falls, Mass, but A. f. Growth
er general manager of the COM
pany today denied her statement
He said he knew Reising personally
as an arms manufacturer but that
he never worked for the Page
Lewis company and never vas con-
nected with it in any way, nor was
he ever connected with q factory in
that town.
The Page-Lewis factory. however,
makes the Reising pistol for the
Reising Arms Manufacturing COM
nany Of New York, Mr.. Crowther ad-
United. He spoke Of Reising as for
mcr president of the Reising Arms
corporation, emphasizing the dis
tinction between the two concerns
bearing the Reising name. Mr.
Crowther said he knew nothing
about Roising's charge that he had
been tricked out of $35,00 in roy
alties from the company Of which
| he once was president.
Mr.. Crowther asserted his COM
pany was the only one now making
the Reising pistol for the corpora
ton, and that If the name of Reising
Arms Corporation appeared on the
ievolvers found in the possession of
the Cowboy" Tessler gang. they
were not made by the Page-Lewis
company.
The New York police say that
they have definitely established the
fact that at least four automobiles
were disposed of by Reising in the
vicinity of his own home in East
Hartford. A Jewett car was sold by
4 him to Joseph Cranick on Goodwin
street, East Hartford; a Ford went
TO a Mr.. Kceney of Burnside av-

of Anthony Gaudiosi, was still on
