CHICAGO, March S0.-The En-
ployers Association of Chicago yester-
day came to the support of Frank J.
Loesch, veteran head Of the Chicago
Crime Commission, whose recent as
sertion that two-thirds Of all unions
of the city we're controlled or paid
tribute to the Capone syndicate has
aroused storm Of protest from labor
leaders.
In telegram to Senator william E.
Borah of the Senate Committee con-
sidering the nomination of Federal
Judge James H Wilkerson to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals the association
quoted a former president of the Illi-
noiS Federation of Labor as warning
unions against encroachment OF gang
sters into their ranks.
The labor official, Robert G. Fitchie,
president of the Chicago Milk Wagon
Drivers Union, last Fall was kidnapped
and his organization is reported TO
have paid $4,000 for his release.
The telegram to Senator Borah said
that on September 18, 1880, Fitchie,
addressing the Illinois Federation CT
Labor of which he was then head said:
Organized labor in Illinois and Chica-
go in, particular is passing through the
most dangerous period of its existence.
There is an element trying to get into
the unions to control treasures.
Organized labor has freed itself from
the menace of the extreme radical and
now 1t faces its new enemy of freedom" :"

NEW YORK, March 30.-Thomas J.
Ford, president Of the Irish World, a
New York newspaper, today issued a
call, through the paper, for an Irish
race convention in New York at a
place and time to be determined at
preliminary conference"
The call asked election Of delegates
for the convention by all Irish Repub-
Ncan organizations in the United States.
I'VE do not believe there will be any
declaration of war on Ireland by Eng
land" the call said. 'The oath of ale
glance will go; the land annuities,
which belong to Ireland, will be re-
tanned England will bluff and bluster,
but England will back down when she
finds that Irish Republicans are deter
mined to hold their own and when she
learns that the Irish in America are
giving every support possible to aid
Ireland achieve full and complete inde-
pendence."
A similar Irish race convention was
held in New York in March, 1916, fol-
lowing the same sort Of call from Ford
in the Irish World. The Easter week
uprising in Ireland occurred six weeks

thority and does not need to get it from
the Legislature, another special council
meeting will be held tonight to pass an

BYRD ROAD PLAN
VOTE IS ENDORSED
LYON Park Citizens and Mass
Meeting Back Arlington
VT Board.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
stan correspondent of The Star.


LYON PARK, Va, March 30.-In-
dorsement Of the stand taken by the
county board in favoring an election
to give the people an opportunity to
vote on the question Of whether they
will remain In the secondary State
highway system created in the Byrd
road act, or withdraw, was given last
night, first by the Lyon Park Citizens
Association and then by the mass meet
ing that was being held here under
the sponsorship of the association.
The principal speaker was Senator
John w. Rust Of Fairfax, who ex-
pressed himself as an enthusiastic sup
porter Of the bill.
Last nights meeting had been called
by Arthur Orr, president of the Lyon
Park Citizens Association, who relin-
quished the chair following Senator
Rust's speech to offer the resolution.
It was stated in the resolution that the
Byrd road plan deprives the local au-
thorities of the right to expend money
on their own roads and lodges the
right with State authorities who are
not answerable to the voters" and that
Arlington County has demonstrated its
ability to exercise, ain a most efficient
manner" the functions Of local self
government, which are claimed to be
endangered by the Byrd plan.
Committee Is Authorized.
In an effort to assist the county
board in the circulation of petition
calling an election, the resolution au-
thorized the president Of the associa-
ton to appoint q committee which
uyfd1ld IA q ha oIA
Of the county board or the Civic FEEDER
alton for this purpose. The resolution
instructed the associations delegates to
the Civic Federation to endeavor to
have that organization take the steps
necessary TO bring about an election.
Senator Rust stated that he had not
determined whether the Byrd plan
would be best for Arlington County, but
that he believed 1t the most progressive
move ever taken by the State for the
benefit of the counties as whole He
asserted that the measure would pro-
vide the local tax relief so badly needed
in Virginia without in any way i'm
pairing the primary State highway
system.
Sees Aid to Taxpayers.
While the State would spend a mil
lion dollars less the first yefr on the
secondary system than was spent last
year by the localities, he expressed the
opinion that more work could be done
with the $5,500,000 available for this
year than the $6,500,000 spent by the
local authorities last year. While there
was some doubt In his mind as to the
effect of the plan on Arlington County
Senator Rust said that there was no
doubt in his mind that 1t would be of
vast benefit to the taxpayers and
motorists of Fairfax County.
Senator Rust said that he had been
advised in a letter from Highway Com
missioner H. G.. Shirley that resident
engineers would be assigned to both
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
that these would be empowered to act
for the commission in the granting of
permits for water and sewerage extern
sions and other matters.
Others who addressed the meeting
were Orr, l.. c. McNemar and H. J.
McGrath.

MILITARY SCHOOLS
STUDY GRADUATES
Association to Continue Rat
ings Based on Work of
Former Students.

The Association of Military Colleges
and Schools today voted to continue its
study of college records of graduates of
military preparatory schools. AT the same
time the association laid particular
stress on the confidential nature OF the
results of the survey.
For seven years the association, now
holding it's nineteenth annual meeting
here, has compiled statistics as to the
work done in the first year of college
by boys who have graduated from mill
tary schools. This study has contained
a rating of the various military pre-
paratory schools based on the scholastic
attainments of their graduates.
In voting to continue the survey the
association issued a warning to mem
bers that the information furnished IS
confidential and must not be misused.
It was decided not to prepare general
list rating the preparatory schools next
wear. but, instead. to furnish each in
dividual school with its own standing.
Against Honor List"
Yesterday afternoon the association
recommended to the War Department
that it discontinue its rating OF military
preparatory schools on the so-called
"honor list" In past years this list has
been made public and, it was said, has
caused considerable i'll feeling between
various schools.
An address by Maj. Ralph G. Bishop,
director of the Foundation for Military
Research. was scheduled for this after
noon. Merle Thorpe, editor Of Nations
Business. also was scheduled to speak.
but had to cancel the engagement be-
cause Of other business.
Yesterday afternoon the maiE topE
of discussion was the relationship OF
the War Department with the military
departments of the various schools.
Lieut.. Col. Ralph M. Parker, general
staff corps, stressed the fact the War
Department attempts in every way pos
sible to cooperate with the schools
providing equipment and training facll-
tiles. Others who spoke were Col:
Edward Croft, general staff corps, and
Col. r. P. Davidson, chairman, North
western Military and Naval Academy.
Annual Dinner Tonight.
Col. Roy F. Farrand, president Of the
association and head of st. Johns Mill
tarv Academy, Delaf1eld. Wis, has pre-
sided at all sessions. Col G. r. Ends
lev of the Tennessee Military Institute

lege Records.
The annual dinner Of the association
Is scheduled for tonight. The speakers

Judge Harold B. Wells of the Court of
Errors and Appeals of New Jersey.
The meeting will adjourn after the
session tomorrow morning when officers
will be elected.
