MORE COMPENSATION

Lansing, Mich. - Governor Green

workers from $14 to $18 a-week.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-05-13
BACKGROUNDS DIFFER

Organized workers are often re-
preached because they refuse to iden-
tify themselves with a political party.
"Why don't you do as British work
ers" is the steretoyped advice work
ers receive whenever they meet re-
verses.
Less will be heard of this advice
since the British workers are forced
to fight for their trade union life.
The British labor party is strong
and influential. 1t recently controlled
the government for nine months
During the past year it has won prac-
tically every contest for seats in the
house of commons. The workers have
supplanted the liberal party as "his
majesty's opposition" and many OF
them predict that they will control
the government at the next general
election in 1929
Under these circumstances it could
fairly be assumed that the conserva-
tives, now in control of the govern
ment, would consider it politically un-
wise to propose drastic anti-union
legislation that is opposed by every
fair minded British citizen. But the
tories have done this and trade
unionism is resisting the hardest blow
aimed at it in 100 years.
American trade unions face stealthy
attacks by courts of law. In Britain
the attacks are open. Both attacks,
however, are impelled by the same
motive. In one case the workers have
a labor party. In the other, political
non-partisanship is favored.
The incident across the water en-
phasizes that workers of different
countries use methods that conform
to their social, economic and political
backgrounds. The ideals of all groups
of workers are identical, but their
backgrounds differ.
Policies that ignore backgrounds
can not be transplanted to an alien
soil.

accidentally shot himself in the
side today with a blank cartridge
pistol he had bought from another
boy for a lollypop and a home
prepared cartridge.

cartridges and sawed off the lead
bullet to the brass jacket, leaving
a part of the bullet inside the
jacket.
When the cartridge failed to ex-

pulled the trigger again. The gun
fired and the bullet entered his side.

wound is serious, but he probably
will recover.

| tniNCu IEtSs stan Correspondent
BOSTON, Aug. 5.-The State OF
Massachusetts, today proceeded with
its plans for executing Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetu early
next Thursday morning.
Few were optimistic enough TO
believe that desperate last-minute
efforts to save the anarchists whose
case has stirred the world would
succeed, after the failure of every
legal recourse for nearly seven
years.
Sacco and Vanzetti we're In the
death cells at the Charlestown State
prison, under heavy police guard.
Expect no Violence
officials said they felt reasonably
sure no violence would result, de-
spite the worldwide agitation caused
by belief that the men we're con-
victed, not because they murdered
a paymaster and his guard at South
Braintree, but because OF their po-
litical beliefs.
Nevertheless, police had the
prison fairly well surrounded, to
keep the morbidly curious and
others at a distance.
Judge Webster Thayer, who pre-
sided at the trial, and Governor AL
van T. Fullerl who refused
Wednesday night to intervene in
their case, we're being guarded.
Their homes and many public build
ings we're under surveillance.
Send for Executioner
Warden William Hendry Of the
prison already has sent for Robert
Elliott, official executioner for Mas
sachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey.
Unless the unexpected happens,
Sacco and Vanzetti will be led TO
the death chamber shortly after
midnight Thursday. Celestino Ma
deiros, convicted Of another mur-
der, will precede them. Madeiros
attempted to save their lives by n
confession absolving them Of the
South Braintree muredrs, but 1t was
not creditea.
After Madeiros has been strapped
in the electric chair and put 70
death, Sacco and Vanzetti will fol-
low in order.
Meanwhile, the defense was cast
ing about for some desperate means
Of stopping the executions.
It was believed Arthur d. Hill,
newly appointed head OF defense
counsel, would file motion with the
Count yCourt at Dedham asking
that the death sentence and verdict
of guilty be set aside, on the ground
of new evidence, consisting OF am
davits charging prejudice Of States
witnesses.
Reticent on Action
No court is in session at Dedham.
but a hearing would not be neces-
sary to file the papers.
Hill would not confirm or deny
the statements Of other defense
leaders that he planned such action.
In their narrow cells, haf a dozen
PAGES from the electric chair In
which they are doomed TO die, the
prisoners spent the day reading and
writing, and talking for a time with
Mrs. Rosa Sacco, mother Of Sacco's
two children.
AS occupants Of the death cells.
Sacco and Vanzetti could, II they
so desired, order choice foods in
preference to the simple prison fare.
But the privilege tempted neither.
Sacco was on the twentieth day OF
his hunger strike and Vanzetti
joined him in refusing nourishment.

AIR ENDURANCE
RECORD BROKEN
German FIiers Stay Up for
81 Hours, rs Minutes.

By United Press
DESSA, Germany, Aug. 5.-The
airplane endurance record held by
Clarence D. Chamberlin and Bert
Acosta was broken today by the
German aviators, Risticz and
Decard, in Junker plane,
When they landed at 1918 a. m.
they had been in the air So hours
and 25 minutes, almost an hour and
a half longer than the American
Fliers.
The plane met all tests, said a
statement by the Junkers company,
the builders, and has proved it's
ability to fly across the Atlantic
ocean.
The fliers landed amid scenes of
tremendous enthusiasm. The lord
mayor and other notables scarce
ly had spoken their congratulations
when the crowd seized their idols
and lifted them shoulder high. All
parts of Germany contributed to
the deluge of congratulations.
Chamberlin and Acosta were in
the air over Long Island, 81 hours
and II minutes. They began their
flight April 13 and came down two
days later. Their plane was the
Bellanca monoplane, Columbia, in
which Cl,amberlin and Levine flew
to Germany.

hint SHUMAKER
DECISION TODAY
Supreme Court Conference
Being Held.

Although the Shunlaker contempt
case decision was reported ready to
be handed down by the Supreme
Court, no action was taken in the
matter this morning
The court announced conference
this afternoon, but no intimation
was given as to whether the decision
would be handed down.
A news service issued a story
Thursday night stating that the
court today likely would hand down
the decision and give Superintend-
ent E. S. Shumaker of the Indiana
Anti-Saloon League a Jail sentence
and fine.
The court is meeting for the
second of the summer vacation
sessions. While it was considered
probable that it would hold
Shumaker for contempt, as recon-
mended by a bar committee of
friends OF the court, there is no
time limit to handing down the de-
cision. The case already has been
pending eighteen months.
Other important matters upon
which the court might rule are the
d. G. Stephenson habeaus corpus
appeal and the petition for re-
hearing in the legislative pay case,
filed by Attorney General Arthur
l.. Gillicm.
Should the court sentence
Shumaker, it is considered likely
that he will receive executive
clemency from Governor Jackson.
The Governor recently granted
Editor George Dale of Muncie, an
immediate parole.

Rooming House.
FOR LOVE- SAYS NOTE
Police Assert Killer Angry
Because Woman Would
Not Beat Bill.

Angered because she refused
to go to Cincinnati with him, leav-
ing behind an unpaid room bill, ac-
cording to police, Harry Henry, 80,
killed his common law wife, Edna,
with a table knife in their room at
4O3 E. Ohio ST., this morning, and
stabbed himself to death.
A blood stained note Henry hand
ed police, however. declared, "this
is for love-"
The couple, according to Mrs.
Bessie Rhodes, proprietor Of the
roonir1g house, came here last
Thursday from Chicago Henry, she
said, had roomed with her two years
ago, when he worked at the Amer
lean Glue Company here, and left
owing her $50 he had borrowed.
Refused to "Beat" Bill
For the last three days HenIy,
Mrs. Rhodes said, had been trying
to persuade his wife to go with him
to Cincinnati, but she refused,
declaring she would stay here and
work and earn the money to pay tle
room rent.
Mrs. Rhodes said that Henry had
not been at the house for three
days and that she was holding some
of his clothes that his wife had
given her until he should pay the
room bill.
When Henry returned this morn
ing, he again tried to persuade the
woman to leave with him.
Last night, however, he evidently
had prepared for the rder-suicide
by writing the death note and
sharpening a table knife to razor
edge.
Sees Death Stroke
Mrs. Mary Beihm, another roomer
In the house, said she W2s passing
tby the door of the Henfy's room
land saw the man lunge for his wife
with the knife.
She screamed, Don't do il" and
tried to hold Henry. He kicked her
from the room. Mrs. Beihm met
Mrs. Rhodes in the hall and Mrs.
tGIlOuGS CdllcQ pOA1CC-
s Police found the two bodies on
the floor, the wife slashed about the
neck, her head nearly hacked from
the body.
Dies On Way to Hospital
Henry was stabbed about the
chest and throat, but still was alive.
He picked the knife from the floor
and attempted to stab himself again,
but Sergeant Fields tore the weapon
from his hands. He died on the
way to city hospital.
Police took Mrs. Rhodes and other
roomers to police station for ques-
tioning.
Henry's death note blamed Mrs.
Rhodes, declaring she had beaten
him and driven him from the house.
She denied this.
Determined to Keep Her
He also declared that Mrs. Henry
was his common law wife whom he
had met in Chicago Heights and
because he knew she intended to
leave him he was determined to
stake her with me-"
The note listed relatives named
Hendricks living in Bowling Green
and Franklin, KY, and a sister, Mrs.
Sarah Craft, in Kentucky and said
they had intended going to Franklin.
1t also disclosed that Mrs. Henry
left a 3-year-old son with her
parents, named Affet, in Chicago
Heights.
