Harry Itskin. 40. OF % Jackson
place, and Frank Tieben. "a, Of 3l4
North Delaware street, are the men
held upon alleged confessions to the
DETACHMENT of the signboards. Their
bonds were set at $2,500 each on
Yagrancy charges. They are held
pending the grand jury inYestiga-
ton.
Confession Is Reported
The reputed confession OF Itskin
declared that the General Outdoor
Advertising Company April 80
through Ray Neals. foreman at the
shops, 1910 East Maryland street,
informed the men that the open
shop would be installed and those
who wanted to work on that basis
could remain, but those who did not
should take their belongings and
get out at once.
Itskin says that he and eleven
other members Of the International
Alliance Of Bill Posters and Billers
of the United States and Canada
left.
Confessions of both Itskin and
Frank Tieben then tell how after
several union meetings to discuss
the situation Itskir1 was notified he
was to go out and deface some bill
boards. he told of finding a dozen
electric light globes filed with lamp
black and oil outside the door of his
room.
The Itskin. confession says he tele-
phoned Tieben to meet him at Illi-
nois and Georgia streets at l a, m.
May g. In Itskin's Chevrolet coach
they toured the west side and hurled
the lamp black bombs at General
Outdoor bill boards with the idea
that high officials Of the company
would see them on their way to the
race the next day and for the local
branch manager TO restore the
union men.
Won't Be Tolerated
The first clew to Itskin and Tie
ban came from a patrolman, who
the night the vandalism was COM
had taken the names Of
Itskin and Tieben and the number
Of Itskin's car. The patrolman had
been standing at West Michigan
street and Belmont avenue when he
heard the glass breaking.
Itskin contends that the company
had fired the union men making
s45 q week and replaced them with
men from out-of- town at S25 a week.
Detective Chief jerry Kinney
directed the work Of Detectives John
Gaugllan and Fred Simon. who got
the confessions. Kinney said that
the bill board company first hired
a private detective agency then after
e few days came to police.
Not being in position to see the
black smeared bill board he thought
someone had thrown a bottle. He
went out TO Itskin's car. questioned
the pair. and let them go.
This is form Of racketeering
and the city will not tolerate it. Let
that be understood right from the
start declared Chief Worley
c. NJ. Bryan, general manager of
the Outdoor Advertising branch,
said he had negotiated unsuccess-
fully for weeks before the agree
ment with the union expired May /
and there was nothing to do but re-
cruit a new working force. He said
that in addition 10 the twelve boards
Itskin and Tieben confessed de-
facing ffty-nine others have been
damaged by the same method.

Rates suggested by farm groups
Senator Smoot declared as "rea-
sonable." He said the upward re-
vision of agricultural rates would
be far reaching ana sufficient to
provide adequate protection.
While Senator Smoot said the
revision would not be general as
applied to other than agricultural
rates, he made it plain there will
be some increases in nearly all
schedules. This does not mean, he
insisted, all industries will get
everything for which they are ask
ing. The purpose, nevertheless,
will be to give higher duties wher-
ever actually needed.
"The cotton manufacturing in
dustry is an example of one which
greatly needs higher Duties" said
Senator lSmoot. "This applies es-
pecially to the finer cotton yarns
and cloths. The coarser grades are
well protected. The decline in the
cotton manufacturing industry in
New England has demonstrated the
need of greater protection in GER
tain particulars. The wooden man
ufacturing industry does not need
greater protection to the same ex-
tent. Also, the dye manufacturers
received ample protection in the
last act.

in St. Cloud Auto Accident
Neck Wound Bares Jugular Vein
of Jas. Walburn-Car Badly
Damaged in Crash

James Walburn, Grey Eagle,
barely escaped almost certain death
at $3.50 Thursday morning, Feb. Z,
when his car skidded against the
concrete base Of the stop sign at
the Osseo crossing on st. German

wound on his neck and jaw
that approached so near the jugular
vein that it could be plainly seen
through the cut.
Walburn and his companion, A.
E. johnson, were treated at the st.

short time afterward. Their car
was badly wrecked. Both men had
been attending the Central Mime

were enreute to their home when
the mishap occurred.
The two Grey Eagle men had at
tended the night convention in
company with many other out-of-
town delegates and started for
home at a late hour. The slippery
pavement is said to have been the
cause of the accident and it is
probable that the stop sign was not
noticed until the car had approach
ed spot near the crossing.
