Hillman Asks fox Only

In addition to further astounding
disclosures of malodorous details in
the graft system which has hitherto
been functioning smoothly in the New
York Joint Board of the Amalgamat-
ed Clothing Workers Union, the ex-
pected action of President Hillman

AS was reported, Hillman, yester-
day, chase his scape goats and, with
gestures of Mortified surprise, thru
the columns of the socialist Daily
Forward, requested the three officials
of the Knee Pants Union vacate their
positions at the receiving end of the
elaborate graft apparatus developed
under his leadership in the union.
Not only did Hillman fail to ask the
higher-ups to quit their jobs, but his
public request that<the three men re-
sign did not even cast questioning
glance at the Beckerman machine
controlling the Joint Board, without
whose knowledge the graft system
could not have functioned.
The uncovering of all this sewage
brought to light further proof that
the machine in the Joint Board re-
ceived graft for providing workers
for the scab open-shops, and then
contracted to receive more graft for
providing this scab contracting shop
with work. A boss willing to come
across discovered that he could have
at his disposal machine that would
bankrupt his rival. Wages in back
pay and other forms were confis-
Gated instead of being turned over
to the workers who sweated for it..

Strong Battle

Increasing evidences that the pre-
sent administration of local of the
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is
making plans to steal the coming cleo
tion, have been increasing, according
to information secured from a num-
Der of sources within the union. The
officials of the union are determined
to hold to their fat jobs at all costs,
and have kept from meetings of the
union all members capable of voicing
protest at the manner in which the
officers are conducting the affairs Of
the union.
At the last meeting of the union,
Armstrong. a union member in good
standing, was forcibly elected from
the meeting by several henchmen Of
the reactionary clique. Armstrong
came to the meeting it is known with
no other intention than that of per-
forming one of his duties and privi-
leges, that of nominating candidates
for officers in the coming elections.

YOUTHFUL BANDIT QUICKLY CAUGHT
 WITH LARGE SUM
ADMITS GUILT; BOARDED SAME TRAIN HELD UP UNKNOWN
 TO PASSENGERS

DETROIT, Oct, 3, William Gibbs, aged 20, of Los Angeles, who held up and robbed an ex- press car of the Canadian Nation al passenger train near Chatham, Ontario, of $22,OOO in currency, was trapped few hours later by United States immigration author itieS here.
 The money was found stuffed about the youths shabby clothing. The police are unable to ascertain whether any additional loot was taken; although armed with two pistols Gibbs did not resist arrest and readily admitted his guilt.
 Wondering how he had escaped from the scene of the robbery so quickly police expressed the opin- ion that Gibbs had boarded the train after the holdup and rode into Windsor, Ontario.
