Trouble for Donnelley Seen

"The composition on the Montgom-
cry Ward books is very simple in
character, while the composition on
the Sears, Roebuck& Co. books is
very intricate and difficult and much
larger in quantity.
IF R. R. Donnelley & Sons Com
pany cannot meet the requirements of
Montgomery Ward & Co. as to de-
liveries, then what will happen when
an attempt is made to also print the
catalogues of Sears, Roebuck & Co. ?"
continued President DeWolf.
"The trade unionists of the country
should not overlook Montgomery
Ward e. Co. when writing letters of
protest to Sears, Roebuck & Co.," he
concluded.

Unfounded Charge That Unions
Were Behind Killing of Seven

answer as that given to |. L. n. S.
He then issued public statement in
which he denied that he knew Bugs
Moran or ever had been threatened
by him.
Despite the fact that Nelson was
not called for questioning on that day,
as predicted by the Tribune, that
newspaper repeated it's false charge
the following morning, when it said
that, although Nelson had not been
summoned, "the authorities refused to
abandon the theory that the answer
to the shooting of the seven Moran
followers was due to their onslaughts
on established unionism."
The Tribune hurled the same charge
the following two mornings, and has
shown no intention of ceasing fire up
to the time that this is written.
1t is significant that only one of the
five other English language daily
newspapers have made any reference
to organized labor or Alderman Nell
son in their stories of the Moran gang
slaughter
Tribune Story Rehashed
The Chicago Daily Journal reporter
admitted that he had simply rehashed
the Tribune story and would not vouch
for its authenticity.
The Herald and Examiner the
American, the Daily News and the
Evening Post must have known that
the Tribune story was fake as they
have been silent on that angle of the
case.
The Tribune invariably screams
Labor war" every time the gamblers
or bootleggers toss "pineapples" or
bump each other off with machine
guns.
The Tribune does not like organized
labor because the labor vote is in
variably opposed to Tribune candi-
dates. Alderman Oscar F. Nelson, or
ganized labor's floor leader in the
city council, was engaged in a bitter
ly contested fight for reelection at
the time that the Tribune published
its story connecting him with the
/ murder of the Moran gangsters.
Sought to Defeat Nelson
1t is evident that he purpose of the
Tribune was to discredit organized
labor and at the same time defeat
| Alderman Nelson for reelection.
/ The effort failed completely, as
/ Nelson won in field of FIVE candi-
dates, receiving a majority of all
votes cast in his ward, badly defeat

of the Tribune and reform takers.

Protests Against Non-Union
Printing Bring Form Letter
Replies From Mail Order Co.

Chicago (I. L. N. S)-The big mail
order firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
this city, has found it necessary to
adopt form letter to answer the
hundreds of letters of protest being
received in reference to the awarding
of the corporations printing contract
to the notoriously unfair R. R. Don
nelley G. Sons Company, the worlds
biggest non-union printing firm.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. recently en-
tered into contract with the Don
nelley concern to print the various
catalogues and flyers" for the big
Chicago mail order house and its
dozens of branch stores scattered
over the country The contract is to
run for ten years at $3,000,00O year,
or total of $30,000,000 in all, it is
said.
Sears, Roebuck q Co. used 60,000,-
900 catalogues in 1928, the work being
executed under union contracts. The
contract with the non-union Donnelley
Company is dated to begin March /,
1880. Meanwhile the officers of Chi
cago Typographical Union No. 16 are
endeayoring to arouse the trade
unionists of the country to send in
letters of protest to the mail order
house. So far the results have been
excellent, but further efforts are re-
quired.
Form Letter Replies Used
Several trade union officers located
in various parts of the country have
sent here the replies they have re-
ceived from the main office of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. or from the branch
houses of that firm located in other
cities. All of these letters are identi-
cal in wording with the exception of
a few words comprising the opening
paragraph.
Sears, Roebcuck & Co. is avoiding
the issue IN its form letter reply. The
alibi put forth is that no union house
in Chicago is equipped to do the work.
w. w. DeWolf, president of Chicago
Typographical Union No. 16, said:
''It is true that no one union print
ing plant in Chicago can handle this
work, but it can be farmed out to
several firms, as in the past, with far
better results than can be obtained
at the Donnelley plant.
Il have been informed" said Presi-
dent DeWolf, that Donnelley is now
behind the schedule in the delivery of
the catalogues of Montgomery Ward
q Co.

will cost less if you cook ELECTRICALLY.
Because, you will not have money tied up
in a fuel supply but will pay for current
only after it is used. Because of the clean

TETERBORO AIRPORT, N. J.,
May 20.-Roger @. Williams and
Lewis A. Yancey will hop off here
this afternoon for Old Orchard,
Me, according to reports from the
two f1iers about midday.
At Old Orchard. the two aviators
will make final preparations for
their contemplated oceanic hop to
Rome.
The two pilots made a, short trial
fight in their monoplane earlier in
the day. Returning to the field, they
declared every thing was in perfect
shape for the projected flight
Yancey announced the Green
Flash would take of for Europe
from Old Orchard at daybreak
Tuesday, weather permitting.
The military field, at Rome, Italy,
will be the planes destination, he
said.
The fliers expect to make the
flight to Old Orchard in about four
hours. although gasoline for six or
seven hours in the air will be car
ried.

Three Frenchmen, Rene Lefevre,

Jr., we're delayed at Roosevelt field
by the heavy Week-en rains and
treacherous weather over the Allan
tic. The men and plane we're ready,
but it appeared that it would be at
least three days before the start
could be made.
Williams and Yancey have a new
world distance mark as the objec-
tive of their flight. They are dsr-
ing the air lanes which the Old
Glory was traversing when it
plunged into the ocean In the sum-
mer of 1927. If they succeed, they
will have covered more than 4,70O
miles in a single fight.
The present long distance fight
record is 4.449 miles, held by Cap
tain Arturo Ferrarin and the late
Major Del Prete, the Italians who
last July flew from Rome to Brazil.
Del Prete died of injuries from an
air crash in Guanabara bay.
Runway Is Wired
Williams and Yancey appeared to
have the advantage over their
French rivals for the honor of being
the first to test the trans Atlantic
airways. The Roosevelt field run
way presents great difficulties when
mired as at present. It caused de-
lays in the starts of Commander
