BlackmaiI Is Charged

One of Bonf1rS first acts after as
Stunning ownership of the Denver
Post was to attack lotteries and ex-
pose them generally, Van else al
legged. The selling of short weight
coal, blackmail and browbeating
customers into buying Post coal also
was charged.
The citation went on to allege
that Bonflls blackmailed prominent
people in Denver, and that he was
shot by w. w. Anderson, attorney,
and was implicated in an attempt
to convict Anderson.
It further was alleged that nu-
merous libel suits had been brought
against the Denver publisher based
upon alleged attacks upon various
persons.
In 1904, in Alva, Okla, Bonf1lS
put through fraudulent deal to
erect courthouse at enormous
profit to himself, it was charged.
The receipt of $4,000 from the
Rock Island railroad, for unethical
advertising in the news columns of
the Post was charged. Publication
of fake Goldfield CNev.O stock quo
taticns in the Post also was alleged.
A black list" of Denver persons
who did not abide by his wishes
constituted another allegation.
Land Fraud Claimed
A newspaper attack upon the
laundrymen of Denver, designed to
compel them to buy coal from his
company; the repeated attacks on
Denver public officials over a period
of years and an attack upon Gov
error George Carson, because of his
refusal to appoint one of Bonfils
business associates to the state lane
board were among the numerous
charges.
Bonfils attacked horse racing an6
gambling when he was refused con-
cessions therefor, the citation stated.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-12-05

LAVA, Lne mlQule county or JneSe
republics, became independent after
being a tributary to Poland and
Russia. 1T has an interesting first
stamp issued in 1918. Paper was
quite scarce at that time, so the
issue was printed on the backs of
old war maps. All the Latvian
stamps are interesting, with many
commemorative among them. 1t
also has many handsome semipos-
tails whose subjects are mostly allie
gorical.
The one pictured is of the first
issue 1920 and depicts Mercy help
ing a wounded soldier. These were
printed on unfinished bank notes
of the Bolsheviste and Bermondt
governments.
Il STHONIA, north of Latvia, is
II about half the size of Indiana.
The people call themselves TalIopoeg
and are an ancient race, but have
been independent only since 1918,
which is the beginning of their phi
latelic history. They first belonged
to Sweden and this year celebrated
the tercentenary of the University of
Dorpat, founded by Gustavus Adolf
plus of Sweden.
Two varieties of stamps were is
sued to commemorate this event,
showing university buildings. These
people seem to be stamp-minded, as
they issued a stamp in 1923 that
was sold only at the Royal Philatelic
Exhibition. This is a country whose
stamps are handsome and inexpen-
sive and because the philatelic his
tory is short; would be an easy one
to complete.
The World war, so instrumental
in remaking the map of Europe and
part of Asia, is behind us only q few
years. The first stamps issued by
these newly created sovereignitieS
will become increasingly interesting
and scarce and should appreciate in
value, though this latter is not the
main consideration of the true COL
lector. For those who wish to spe-
cialize in foreign stamps, collec-
ton of these newer countries should
make an interesting study and a
handsome album.

NAVY BUILDING
PLAN GAINS

Statistics compiled by the Navy
Department showed today that
present construction programs will
put the United States 10, ,805 tons
behind Great Britain and 5,102
tons ahead of Japan at the end
of 1896.
The Navy tables disclosed that
today this country is 202,621 tons
behind Great Britain and 1921
in lead of Japan.
1t has not been disclosed wha,
proposals the Navy will make to
Congress at the next session re-
garting expansion of the building
program.
During the past session there
was considerable naval support
for the Vinson bill authorizing
new construction to cost approx
mately $616,00O,000 over a 1O-year
period.
Because of the economy drive,
however, the bill of the chairman
OF the House Committee on Naval
Affairs was pigeon-holed.

FEDERAL WORKERS
SUE UNION HEADS
Seek to Remain in A. F. of l..
Charging Referendum
Was Not Legal.

Thirteen members Of six locals Of the
National Federation Of Federal EN-
ployes today fled a suit in equity in
District Supreme Court to prevent the
withdrawal Of the Federal Employees
from the American Federation Of Labor.
The Federal Employees formerly de-
clared their affiliation with the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor severed in
December after a national referendum.
The suit today was filed by David r.
Glass and IL other plaintiffs who are
employed in the Civil Service and are
members Of local unions Nos. 2, 249,
252, 260, 261 and 262. It is directed
against the National Federation Of
Federal Employees and its officers,
agents and servants, and Luther c.
Steward, president, and Gertrude Nally,
secretary-treasurer.
1t alleges that the referendum vote
ordered by the defendants, under which
the severance was effected, was illegal
and in violation of the constitution.
The plaintiffs ask the court to en-
join the defendants from putting into
effect and attempting to put into effect
amendments to the constitution which
would sever relations with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and also asked
for mandatory injunctions compelling
the defendants to withdraw all notices
to the membership and any other per-
sons that the federation has ceased to
be affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor. The court Is requested
to order the defendants to pay to the
American Federation of Labor the per
capita tax which the defendants are
said to be unlawfully withholding, the
plaintiffs claiming that If the defend
ants continue to withhold the payment
of the per capita tax this would ac-
tually and automatically sever relations
with the American Federation Of Labor
in violation Of the constitution and
laws Of the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees.
The plaintiffs are represented by At
torneys James s. Easby-Smith and
Frank S. Easby-Smith.
At the time the referendum was
taken, 8 of the IL locals here opposed
the withdrawal, the total vote being
5,012 to 1898.
The petitioners In today's action all
represent locals that voted in opposi-
tion to the move.
