Office Workers Meet
Despite Enemy Trio

NEW YORK.-Police intimida-
ton, interference by a marine corps
recruiting officer and competition
of religious meeting all failed to
stop the Office Workers Union
from holding a successful street
meeting yesterday noon before the
doors of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co.
The religious dopsters thought
they had a monopoly on the meet
ing place, but the crowd left them
to listen to the messages of the
union. A petty recruiting officer
complained about the flag. Police
wandered through the crowd of 200,
trying to dissolve it. But the crowd
stayed and heard Chairman Rose
Block and speakers K. Rottger and
P. Vince to the end of their argu-
ments for a union and fight
against unemployment and low
wages.

week. All signatures must be sent
in to the District Office, Room 425,
Kesota Building, not later than

On September a total of 1000 sig
natures has been received by the

fee to the state of $50 for each
state candidate placed on the ballot
and $50 for each congressional can
didate. This means that $3.50 alone
must be spent for filing five state

CHICAGO HOPES TO
 GIVE CAPONE 'CHAIR'
Judge Says Effort Being Made to Link Him in
 Sayings

Chicago, Dec. 19 GP}-Judge John H. Lyle today was quoted as saying efforts would be made to send AL phone Capone, gang chief, to the electric chair in connection with the staying of two men.
 We will send Capone to the chair, if 1t is possible to do so," said Judge Lyle, who issued a vagrancy warrant for Capone several months or more ago. He deserve to die. He has no right to live"
 Speaking before the Chicago safety council, the judge mentioned Capone's name in connection with the killing in 1920 of Big Jim" Colosimo, reputed ''vice lord" and also in connection with the death of another man whose name he did not reveal. The Herald and Exam iner, however, said the states attor neys office was scrutinizing the files of the case of Joseph Howard, slain May s, 1924 with the idea of mak- ing it the basis of a murder charge.
 The Herald and Examiner added that Assistant States Attorney Har- " Ditchburne reported he would act if the investigation appeared to jus tify such action.
 Howard, whom the newspaper described as a member of the gang organization of Johnny Torrio, was killed in a saloon. The motive was never clear, but Michael Hughes, who was chief of detectives at the time, was quoted as saying that Howard and Capone had quarreled. Later Capone was questioned, the Herald and Examiner said, by As sistant States Attorney William $. McSWiggin who was assasslnated two years later.
 At the same time Judge John H. Lyle told the Chicago safety council that if Capone is ever brought into court on @ vagranCy warrant, al- ready issued, that an effort would be made to connect him with the staying of Colosimo. The judge mentioned a second staying but gave no indication as to whether he re- ferred to Towards death.
