this was sufficient variance between the
evidence and the allegations to justify
the court in granting a new trial. As
sistant United States Attorney John r.
Fitzpatrick said the evidence showed
the money belonged to Miss Maret and
that in any event it was in her posses
sion when stolen.
After this motion had been overruled.
the countess, who is SO, made personal
plea for leniency. She said she was the
victim of a conspiracy and that she
had been subjected to many hardships
during her lifetime.
1T may take a long time" she said.
but some day I will prove I am inno-
cent of this crime"
Her attorney, David Babp, also asked
the court to be lenient, pointing out
that the countess had expedited the
proceedings by not moving for new
trial and asserting she is in poor health
and badly in need of medical attention:
In sentencing here, Justice Cox said
he had considered these matters. and
therefore was imposing lighter penalty
than in Gormley'S case.
The evidence showed Gormley. who
is 36, drove Miss Maret, in October,
1881, to a lonely spot on tne 6rookVlile
road where he stopped the car. A "po-
liceman." who subsequently testified
for the Government and admitted
Gormley had paid him $3.50 for posing
as an officer walked up, flashed a
light in the car and asked what they
were doing there.
After subsequent negotiations. Miss
Maret was told by Gormley that the
ofinar could he hrihed for 81 5 600 not
to press charges against them. The
SIS 900 alleged to have been stolen
was advanced by Miss Maret for this
purpose. The Officer" was identified
during the trial as Charles A. May.
After sentences had been imposed
both the countess and Gormley were
taken to the District Jail Counsel for

HUGE CENTER SITE

is greatly needed to supply quarters for
the Municipal. Police and Juvenile
Courts, which are now occupying build
ingS that are diScreditable to the Ma
tional Capital. These courts have to
work under adverse conditions that seri-
ously impair this proper functioning.
In the first unit provision also would
be made for the recorder of deeds. now
occupying a rented building. where all
the valuable title records Of the Dis
tlict of Columbia are filed.
Other agencies Of the District gov
ernment. such as the Police Department.
are also now in temporary quarters, and
these agencies would be housed in the
first unit Of the municipal center. In
view of the facts above presented. I can
not believe that the Federal Govern
ment. through one or more Of its agen.
cies. will fail to provide sufficient funds
to carry forward the building of the
first unit of the Municipal Center
In referring TO the Federal building
program Senator King said some per-
sons sons believe it was too elaborate and
which have been Completed and others
In process OF construction are too
costly and exhibit serious architectural
defects as well as patent infirmitieS in
the matter Of utility and practicable
ness"
The Senator recalled that when the
Federal building program was being
mapped out the District authorities
asked to be permitted to continue to
use the present District Building and
to provide for future growth by buying
property to the south or east of that
building Both of the suggestions. how
ever. were found to be in conflict with
the Federal program
The result was that the Commits
sioners were compelled to seek a site
in some other part of the city upon
which new buildings for the municipal
government might be erected"
He then told how Congress required
the city to buy four squares after the
Commissioners had recommended only
two squares.
The Senator's statement shows that
under the Commissioners plan the
cost of the land and buildings would
have been approximately $10,000.000.
of which about S2000,O00 would have
been for the land The total cost of
the plan imposed upon the District
by Congress. he said. will be approxi-
mately S18.G00000. Continuing Sena-
tor King stated:
THE question very properly arises,
what would it cost the District of Co
lumba, as progressive and important
city, to erect suitable buildings to ac-
commodate its municipal offices?
That, it would seem. should be
fair test in determining what part of
the cost of the Municipal Center should
be borne from local taxes The Federal
Government. having compelled the Dis
trict government to adopt a different
plan from that which it had approved.
it would seem only fair and just that
the National Government should meet
the additional cost resulting from the
execution of its demands

BY PHILIP RAYMOND

The leadership of the American
Federation of Labor never made a
serious attempt to organize the auto
workers. 1t consistently fought, and
helped to break the strength Of the
Auto Workers Union, from 1919 to
1926
The A. p. Of L. Convention in
Detroit in 1895 went on record to
organize the automobile industry.
Soon afterwards, seventeen A. F. Of
l.. craft unions, claiming jurisdiction
over auto workers, were called to a
conference. Each craft union had its
own set Of -salaried officials,
anxious to have an opportunity to
carry on business with wealthy auto
mobile manufacturers. Each group
Of officials was determined to look
after its own interests. No definite
agreement could be reached.
At a second conference on March
"A, 1927, it was agreed to suspend
jurisdictional claims for workers en-
gagged in all so-called "repetitive" and
unskilled processes, so that temporary
local labor unions might be formed.
The officials OF the seventeen differ
ent A. F. of L. craft unions were
asked to be patient and wait until
the whole goose could be captured
before proceeding with the division
Of the swag.
Did Not Go to Workers
The great A. F. of L. campaign
got under way. Although Detroit
never heard of it, it was the most
novel battle Of giants ever witnessed
in the history Of the American labor
movement. Automobile workers did
not see the city flooded with leaflets
calling on them to organize and fight
for better conditions. Auto workers
did not see nor hear Of hundreds Of
shop gate meetings where A. r. of L.
speakers brought the message Of Or
