FORTY DELEGATES
FROM UNIONS At
JOBLESS Meeting
Cleveland Conference
Builds Cooperation

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov. 28.-
The Relief Conference, called by the
Cleveland Unemployed Council to
initiate immediate steps for relief of
the $4,000 unemployed workers here,
met tonight with 40 delegates from
unions and fraternal organiza-
tons present. John Foley, secretary
of the Unemployed Council, stated
that over 1000 workers, were repre-
scented.
A permanent Executive Committee
of eleven, giving representation to
the unemployed and to employed
union labor was elected. Turnout the
conference the necessity of the
closest cooperation between the I'M
employed and the organizations of
workers who are fortunate enough to
still have job was stressed.
Visit Federation.
Committees were elected to visit
the Cleveland Federation of Labor to
enlist the support of those unions not
represented st the Conference, and
TO call on the Community Fund for
relief. Little help is expected from
this last source however, in view OF
the past actions of the Fund in turn
ing down appeals for assistance of
unemployed workers.
. A committee of ten was also elected
20 attend the meeting of the City
Council next Monday night in a final
effort to bring the city government
to a realization of its responsibilities
to the thousands of unemployed
workers.
Frame Up.
The City Council has previously
fatty turned down the demands of
the unemployed, and thru the police
has tried to break up the Unemployed
Council, thru the arrest of framed
ap charge of vagrancy, of Joe Judson,
local leader of the unemployed. At
the last City Council nesting seven
members Of the Unemployed Council
were arrested and elected from the
Council Chambers for raising their
voices against the police ban on meet
ings of the organization and the
frame-up of Judson.
The Conference called mass meet
ing for Sunday, November 27, at
Moose Hall to protest the frame-up
of Judson and his sentence of 80 DAYS
on q vagrancy charge. The police ban
on meetings of the Unemployed Coun-
ell was hastily withdrawn after the
militant demonstration against the
denial of free speech at the last City
Council meeting.

Posters in War Against
USSR Oil as Sales Grow

LONDON, Nov. 2S.--"Don't Buy
Soviet OIL" is the motto ON small
stickers being pasted up in prominent
places thruout Great Britain.
This is the latest move in the Of
fensive Of the British oil interests
against the Soviet Union. Buyers,
however, seem to be paying very little
heed to the stickers, as oil from the
Soviet Union is selling at cents
cheaper a gallon, and the sales are

GAG FOR REMUS
WHEN CRAFT IS
TOUCHED UPON
Judges Ruling to Hide
Prohibition Scandal

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. Is
The ruling of trial judge Shook in
the Remus murder case here today,
that no evidence relating to the con-
spiracy Remus charges against the
prohibition agent Dodge and his wife
can be admitted at present is said
by observers here to indicate ihe
formula of the court and the prose
cution by which the former bootleg
king" will be prevented from making
any revelations of government graft
When Remus was first arrested for
the murder of his wife he threatened
to rock the prohibition service from
top to bottom by telling all about
the bootleg graft if he were placed
on trial.
His plea of temporary insanity was
relied as a means of presenting some
Of this, since he charges that the
conspiracy between his wife and
Prohibition Agent Dodge to steal his
money from him was the cause Of
that insanity.
Can't Tell 1t.
But when Franklin Edwards Shaw
race-track timer began to tell of
relations he had noticed between
Mrs. Remus and Dodge, the state
objected and was sustained.
"You must show independent testi-
mony of diseased mind before you
can go into these things which you
claim caused the insanity, said Judge
Shook to the defense.

Appeal to Race Hate.


Counsel for Mrs. Lilliendahl and
Beach have fallen back on the story,
once admitted by Mrs. Lilliendahl to
be false, that the murder of her hus-
band was committed by two Ne
groes."
When DR.. Lilliendahl was riding
with his wife in lonely place in the
woods, he was shot dead, but not
robbed His widow Immediately set
on foot the Negro" story, which
caused lynch mobs to circle over the
state looking for victims. Certain
very suspicious circumstances throw
ing doubt on her own relations with
her husband and with the rich poul-
try raiser, Beach, came to light in
the general investigation, and finally,
under question she broke down and
admitted the Negro murderers' tale
was fiction.
Signal TO X. X. X.
Indictments for herself and Beach
on murder charges resulted.
But the attorneys for the defense,
in their opening statements declared
they would mot only bring evidence
to show the defendants were innocent
but evidence pointing out the guilty

Little was expected from the cor

ment in the state to force operators
into a conference despite their re-
fusals in the past.
Habeas corpus proceedings have
forced the rangers to put charges
against the l. w. w. strike leaders
and it is reported that will be ad-
mitted to bail Immediately. The
leaders were arrested more than 8
weeks ago in an effort to break the
strike. They had been held incom-
municado and without charges and
without bail, until legal action forced
the hands of the rangers. There are
still some 60 in jail at Walsenburg
and strikers furnished them a
Thanksgiving dinner there.

Sunday observance law would help

Filling the Churches.
Church leaders. it was declared, are
not satisfied with past efforts to halt
the crime wave and except for certain
local sections throughout the country,
realize that little or no Roadway has
been gained through campaigns to
bring about greater respect for the
laws. While the prohibition law. in
dependently, constitutes their gravest
problem at the present time, leaders
In the Lords Day Alliance, the
Methodist Board of Temperance and
other such organizations are agreed
that model blue Sunday laws would go
great way toward filling the
churches as well as paving the way
for general law observance.
With the Sunday lid clamped down
tight on the National Capital, their
spokesman contended at the last ses-
sion of Congress, that such n law
would give an impetus to other States
to do likewise.
Practically no beadway in this d.
rection was made in the last Senate,
but the introduction of q number of
blue Sunday bills in the House ad-
vanced beyond the stage of public
hearings. Representative w. C. Lark
ford, Democrat, Georgia, was one of
the leaders in the Sunday observance
movement for the District of Columbia.

The wave of crime, especially
among the young, is ostensibly the
target for the reformers. Rev. Harry
IL IPo"hDSs SChSAdl oC\ACtoAy Va thO
Lords Day Alliance, who advocates
a blue Sunday law to increase church
attendance, says in a call for money
broadcast in the National Capital
through a circular letter:
You, of course, know that the in.
crease in crime throughout the United
States has been most alarming dur
ing the past decade, but do you know
that our prisons now contain more
criminals than at any time in our
national history?
do you know that an exceptionally
large percentage of the inmates of
our prisons are under II years of age
and that in the Tombs prison of New
York alone there have been more than
10000 boys and girls during the past
five years?
do YOU know that Soviet and
similar schools throughout the United
States are teaching the doctrine that
there is no God and that Christ Is a
myth. and that the effect of such
teaching Is disastrous and is swelling
the ranks of criminals?"

Counting on SOutherners.
Reform leaders are counting upon
Southern Democrats, generally, to
support the next campaign for a model
law in the District, owing chiefly to
their readiness to vote the dictates of
the Anti-Saloon League, which is the
leader in the prohibition enforcement
campaign.
Combined with the influence of
church organizations. representing
practically every denomination, they
feel that a tremendous pressure can
be brought to bear in the next Con-
gress to start the ball rolling in the
District.
Efforts will be made at the opening
session in the House to report at least
one of the half-doZen blue Sunday
laws from committee SO that the fight,
heretofore blocked by party leaders,
may be made on the open floor. Con-
gress will find a very active lobby of
apprehensive reformers on the job
when it convenes, and If the present
appeals are successful there will be
no lack of ready cash in the campaign
treasury to finance ''fiarebacks" in

One of the objects of this cam

through the Lords Day Alliance, is
to fasten upon the District of Co

model blue law of such scope as to
clamp down the lid securely on all

There Is no concealment of the
fact that when the financial cam

the drive for Sunday observance laws
will spread from the District of Co

eventually making Sunday a day of

ELECTION BREAKS
ACE-0LD CUSTOM
BY United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Sept. 29.-Sir Charles
A. Batho was today elected Lord
Mayor of London after an unpre-
cedented contest in which there
were three active candidates and
one other who ordinarily would
have had the Lord Mayoralty with
out opposition.
Sir Harold Decourcey Moore, as
senior city alderman, was next in
line to succeed Sir Rowland Blades,
whose term will expire this year.
In a statement last night to the
Daily Express, Sir Harold announced
that he had decided to withdraw.
His withdrawal relieved tension
which had prevailed in civic cir
cles for the past week, based on
doubt regarding Sir Harold's 5 abil-
itv to win the election.
1t is an age old tradition here,
punctiliously observed for centuries
that the senior alderman automa-
tically is elected Lord Mayor. This
year the public was surprised to
learn that there were three other
candidates, Sir Charles Batho, Sir
Knyaston Studd and Sir Stephen
Killik.
