MEMBER drive
ON HUGE SCALE
ISLABOR'S PLAN
Annual Convention Starts
in New Orleans; More
Cooperation Urged.

BIZ United Press
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. ia
campaign to double its membership
is urged upon the American Fedora
ton of Labor in the report Of the
executive council, to be submitted
at the opening Of the forty eighth
annual convention here today.
The membership of the A. F. of L.,
which reached a low postwar point
in 1918, increased about eighty thou
sand last year and now stands at
2,896,963.
No details of the membership
campaign plan were revealed in the
report. but it is expected that much
activity will be concentrated in the
new industrial south, particularly in
the textile mills, which have been
set up by companies formerly oper-
ating in New England
Cooperation Is Urged
The executive committee urged
members of organized labor to Co
operate with industry and bear in
mind that discussion and conference
are better than a fight. 1t gave
strong expression to a feeling which
is developing in organized labor
that labor profits most through in
creasing production.
Economic statesmen of the labor
movement realize that industrial as
we'll as other relationships Of life
rest upon associated activity and
that the spirit of conflict prevents
clear thinking and retards prog
ress," the executive council said.
workers alone, however, cannot
determine the nature Of industrial
relations. Employers also must put
their faith in intelligence if con-
structive relationships are estab-
lished
More Production Advocated
Intelligence assures a square deal
to both groups and abandons efforts
on the part by one to profit by TAX
ing advantage of the other. Where
the principle of cooperation is &C
copied, the union is in a position to
enter into the problems OF produce
ton.
with the principle formulated
by the federation some years ago,
that standards of living can be
permanently raised only by increas-
ing production, organized labor has
a basis of common interests with
the management and therefore finds
cooperation an advantage"
Labor is faced with a serious
| problem because of the rapid
mechanization of industry. The
executive council reported that in
the steel industry seven men do
the work formerly required by sixty
in casting pig iron; two do what
1913 once did in loading pig iron;
one man replaces forty-two in
operating open hearth furnaces.
In machine shops and railway re-
pair shops, one man replaced twen-
ty-flve skilled machinists with a
gang of five or ten senli-automatic
machines.

CRIME DRAMA
REACHES ITS
LAST CURTAIN
SIayerS, County Officers
and Mayor to Appear
Before U. S.
BOSWELL is HERO
'Frameup' Is Charged as
Some Face Hearing on
Indictments.
BY FOSTER EATON


EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill, Nov. 49,
An astonishing drama of crime,
politics, intrigue, hate and revenge,
with little trace of love except love
for gold, probably will enter it's final
act here Tuesday.
Federal authorities are prepared
to arraign prominent citizens of
Williamson county - formerly
Bloody Williamson indict-
ments charging conspiracy to
violate the prohibition law.
Murderers, some dead and some
alive, county officials and the mayor
and police chief and water super
intendent of Herrin and nondes-
cript group of alleged bootleggerS
make up the 'cast."
If there's hero probably it is
Arlie O. Boswell, the youthful states
attorney, who has been a storm
center ever since elected on the
khan" ticket four years ago to
clean up the Burger gang" Boswell
is under indictment.
Herrin Massacre OutgrOwth
The amazing situation may be the
natural outgrowth Of the notorious
Herrin mine massacre, the SUISSE
quent klan-anti-kla disorders, and
the bloody, open clashes between the
machine cunning gangs led by
Charlie Burger, now hanged and the
Shelton brothers, Carl, Earl and
Bernie, now awaiting new trials for
bank robbery.
There's a feeling in Williamson
county that enn1ity born of politics
and the natural hatred of criminals
for their nemesis may have much
to do with the indictments.
While Burger was hanged for the
murder of Mayor Joe Adams of
West City, in Franklin county, Bos-
well successfully prosecuted at least
four other members, of the gang,
sending RADIO Millich to the gallows
and Harry Thomson, Danny Brown
and Ray Rome to the "pen" for
highway robbery.
When Millich, a virtual illiterate,
mounted the gallows to die for the
murder of Ward Jones at the Bi ger
stronghold, Shady Rest, he charged
Boswell with secret connivance in
the gangs activities. Boswell de-
MED the charge.
Charges Political Frameup
Boswell, who failed to win re-
nomination and will go out of Of
fee next month, now is prosecuting
several Birgerites for the murders
of State Patrolman Lory Price and
wife-probably the blacklist crime
Of all attributed to the gang. 1t
comes up for trial Nov. &c.
One of the Price case defendants
was Art Newman, formerly Birger's
chief lieutenant, sentenced to life
for murder It was Newman who
was brought in chains to testify be-
fore the grand jury.
When Boswell heard Of it, he said:
'I expect to be indicted. New
man probably will hatch up any
kind of yarn to delay and hamper
prosecution of the Price murders"
Mayor Marshall Mccormick, Of
Herrin, indicted in the prohibition
case, charged a political "frame-up."
eff they go to digging up the
past history of Herrin," Mccormick
said, "I'll blow the lid off and tell
a lot they never heard before"
Coincident with the Williamson
arrangements, Sheriff Leslie B..
Roche and seventy-one others of
Alexander county, Ill, are sched-
uled to be arraigned on similar
charges.

BARS FLOURISH
IN WASHING
PAPER CHARGES
SpeakeasieS Thrive Almost
Anywhere Downtown,
Says Article.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Speak-
easies flourish here almost under
the eyes of Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt and other high officials
engaged in prohibition enforcement
according to the report made by an
investigator of the Washington Post.
The article mentioned specific
localities where liquor is being sold
over the bar, a condition, according
to the Post, which has arisen dur
ing the past year.
Washington, up to a year ago,
was considered the most abiding
community in the country the
article said. There was drinking
going on here, of course, as there
is drinking everywhere; but it was
done in the sanctity of the home, in
the kitchen, or wherever it is, in
the house, that men gather to vio-
late the eighteenth amendment and
Volstead act.
OpCahCdoACS LfCA yNnCIC
Now anyone who knows the ropes
may go almost anywhere in the
downtown section and get liquor,
served in little back rooms"
The Posts article contained pic
lures captioned within the area
embraced in this view of downtown
Washington, those who are thirsty
and in the know find it not i'm
possible to buy a drink of passable
liquor over the bar for -four bits a
throw"
Another view of a portion of a
downtown block was captioned, an
other view of a busy thoroughfare in
the capital from the center of which
an arid seeker after a shot of liquid
nail files, with a good right arm
could hit a speakeasy with a care
fully aimed rock"
Almost any kind of liquor can be
purchased by the drink, if the
would-be purchaser knows where to
look for it. the article stated.
Washington speakeasies seem to
be a step ahead of those in other
eastern cities in that the potions
they sell rate about the same quality
as the best it is possible to procure
in the open bootleg market" the
Post explained.
Too Much for Law
Prices vary according to the
neighborhood in which the speak
easy is located, the article said.
Along the waterfront passable
whisky is sold for 10 cents a drink
and in the more fashionable sec
ton it brings as high as one dollar,
the Post said.
Law enforcement agents are I'M
able to cope with the situation, the
Post stated, because there are not
enough of them to go around"
1t quoted federal agent as say
ing:
1T would take the entire police
force of Washington ever on the
alert to rid the city of speakeasies.
Even then I doubt if it could be
done. If there were an arrest every
hour of the day and night and
twenty-four places closed a DAY,
twenty-four new places would open
on the morrow"

Wife's Intuition
Proves True; Jack
Monroe Is Living

COBALT, Ont, July 9.-tP-A
woman's intuition, which caused her
TO refuse to believe a report of her
husbands death although she had no
proof that ne was still alive, was
justified today when il was establish
ca that the dead man was not her
husband but another man of the same
name.
When a prospector named Jack
Monroe was found dead In a cabin
near Rouyn several days ago the
word went out that il was the Jack
Monroe famed for having stood up
to Jim Jeffries when the latter was
champion Of the world. Ills wife,
however, would not believe her hus-
band was dead, although he was out
prospecting and she had not recent
ly heard from him.
Today Il was definitely determined
that the dead man was Little jack
Monroe, the coincidence Of identical
names and the same occupation ac-
counting for the first mistaken re-
port that big Jack" had died. The
two Jack Monroes were not related.
