children taking part in the egg-rolling
games. is expected to attract an un-

Labor Leader Convinced Public
Ownership of Railroads Is Nearer

CLEVELAND, April 15.-The selec-
tion OF one labor union to lead an eco
nomic fight for the six-hour day and
the five-day week will be recommended
to the executive council OF the American
Federation Of Labor by William Green.
The president of the federation told
the Cleveland City Club today he was
making the recommendation "as an evi-
dence Of the militant. moving, aggres-
sive attitude Of labor"
The speaker confined the statement
OF his plan to single sentence:
AS an evidence of the militant, mov-
ing. aggressive attitude of labor, I am
recommending to the executive council
OF the American Federation of Labor,
when 1t meets at the headquarters of
the American Federation OF Labor this
month. that one of the international
unions affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor be selected and au-
thorlzed to serve as a spearhead and to
lead in an economic fight for the estab-
nshment OF the six-hour day and five
day week"
In discussion Of the Government s
new policy OF partnership in certain pri-
vate enterprises, Green asserted that the
people have lost faith in almost every-
thing but the Government, and he urged
a Government guarantee of bank de-
posits. He said he felt the Government
was nearer ownership of the railroads
than ever before.
This tnew) governmental policy" he
went on, may be classified as socialistic
and as transgressing the principles of
our capitalistic form of government.
Be that as 1t may, the facts are that
the events which have transpired would
not have occurred If capitalism had
stood the strain placed upon it in a ma
tional emergency"
Noting that $4,000 900 workers were
ioie, Green reiterated that labor stands
oenlnd program to appropriate not
less than $4,000 900 for immediate
relief and the establishment of at least
5000. 900 900 public works project.
Labor will not longer be satisfied /"

SAYS RACKETEERS
GOT BEER PERMITS
Judge Charges Gangs Run
Breweries in Jersey-Do-
ran Orders Probe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., April 15.-An in-
quiry into reports that permits for some
New Jersey breweries to manufacture
80 per cent beer had fallen into the
hands of racketeers was ordered today
in Washington by Commissioner James
M. Doran. chief of the United States
Bureau of Industrial Alcohol
The investigation was prompted by
letters sent to Doran alleging several
New Jersey breweries now legally
operating were in the hands of racke-
teers. One Of the letters came from
Federal Judge William Clark who had
also written critical letters on the sub
Hunsberger, supervisor of industrial
alcohol in this district, and to w. L. j.
Sullivan, chief inspector in Newark.
Doran today said he did not believe
the integrity of the Federal authorities
was involved. Papers regarding the
breweries have been turned over to the
Department Of Justice and lawyers for
the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol now
are examining them.
Errors Held Likely.
1t is likely. Coran said. that errors
might have been made in the ISSUANCE
of the permits since agents in New
Jersey were handicapped. because in
formation held by the Department OF
Justice into racketeering in the State
had not been made available
The inquiry is in part the aftermath
OF the Staying of Max Greenberg, New
York and former St Louis gangster,
and Max Hessel, beer baron of Read
ing, Pa. The men were shot to death
Wednesday afternoon In q hotel in
Elizabeth.
Judge Clark in Washington today
called the issuance of the permits to
certain breweries 'ineXcusable."
Everybody in New jersey" he said,
knew what sort of places these brew
cries were. There could not have been
any investigation of the character of
the men to whom the permits were is
sued
Hunsberger Replies.
Prohibition will be back in full force
II the Government continues issuing
permits to persons Of this character
There can be no excuse for such action
These breweries have been involved In
litigation in my court for many months" !"
At Philadelphia DR.. Hunsberger, su-
pervisor of industrial alcohol In this
area, said he had sent three-page reply
today to Judge Clark.
