are clean" That was a blow straight
in the eye for Howard, Green, Lewis,
Morrison and company.
II am sorry to have to say these
things. When the conditions are
here it is up to honest, organized
labor to kick them out. 1t does not
make any difference who it hurts.
when was put on the spot and
told that I was going to be killed
unless I did thus and so, I told them
to go to hell, that I was an old man
nearing the end of the tether, and
as long as I lived I was going to
fight 'em. And 1 didn't mean to
fight them with bean blowers.
Murdered In Cold Blood
"Ihey have killed our men. They
have murdered them in cold blood.
We have a man who is just out of
the hospital a week ago with two
bullets in his head and one side
paralyzed.
His wife is all shot up, too. She
was in the car with him.
DO you think I enjoy travelling
around the city of Chicago in an
armored Car with a policeman with
me, the law there ready to kill, not
MAIN?
I'VE do not intend to MAIN any
body We are going to kill them.
And you might as well let them know
it. That was the best way Sumner
thought he could let the gunner
know his intentions through those
who hired them)
81 have been called on the tele-
phone many and many a time and
they have said to me: If you con-
tinue the course that you are pur-
suing we are going to kill YOU I
said, L am all settled up with st.
Peter, and don't give a DAMN"
II want to tell you people chat
meant specifically William Green and
John L, Lewis, and their henchmen
in Chicago that don't care. I am
going to fight things through.
THE idea of organized labor as
sisting fellows that we know to be
murderers, racketeerS and kidnap-
pers-and when say these things I
know what I am talking about. I
had to carry out $4,000 to redeem
our president. Do you think I en-
| joyed that? Do you think / enjoyed
counting out $4,000 and carrying it
down the street a few blocks and
turning it over, so that our president
would be returned to lis?
IF any of you fellows think that's
fine, try it.
81 want to see this resolution con-
CURED in. And when it is concuTed
in L want TO see every international
union kick out the racketeers. Let
me tell you the racketeer, the MUIR
derer and all those fellows on the
outside cannot do us much harm.
But when we get them within our
own ranks, that is what hurts"
Sunys Resolution
When Sumner made his whitening
attack on gangsterism in the A. F..
Of L., he had before him the resolu-
ton introduced by Suny which read,
in part:
Tn the American Federation of
Labor unions there is new rise Of
gangsterism and racketeering-the
numerous trials of union officials on
charges made by the dues-paying
membership reveals only to a small
extent the scope of the corruption.
These exposures by rank and file
members are followed by reprisals or
ganized by gangsters paid from union
funds.
There has been no effective &C
ton against this disgraceful condition
of affairs by the Executive Council of
the A. F. Of L. or the heads of the
international unions" the resolution
declared.

He had the good will of every

was all praise for Manager Joe

everything they had plateward to
the batters in the stick drill. Bob

here. Griff was particularly in
terested in Conn's delivery and
admitted the lad had possibilities

many others were in camp and
his case hadn't presented itself in
the confusion.

PA. SUNDAY BILL.
HOPELESS

HARRISBURG, March 15.-
Liberal leaders in the State as
sembly today virtually abandoned
hope Of obtaining legalized Sun
day baseball in Pennsylvania Tor
at least two more years.
The States blue laws, weather,
ing storms of varying degrees
since their enactment in 1874,
successfully stood their first
major test in the Senate. The
Schwartz bill permitting outdoor
sports during four afternoon
hours on the Sabbath under a
local, optional licensing plan,
failed by two votes. The score
was 26 to "a. The house had
passed it overwhelmingly.
Detected liberals saw little
chance of resurrecting the meas
ure. Only upon the request Of two
Senators who voted in the mega
tive may a reconsideration Of the
vote be granted.
The Steedle blue law 1nodifier
lies on the house postponed cal
endar. It was uncertain whether
the bill would be called up for a
final passage vote. Liberals lost
their enthusiasm, and felt that
the senate vote dooms also the
Steedle measure, which provides
for blue law modification even
more exte nsively than the
Schwartz bill.

Umpire Roy Van Grafla n
checked in to camp last night
ready to officiate the remaining

fourth season with the Griffs and
he stated, after viewing yester'
days practice, that he thought the
Capital City club had great
chances of finishing on top by the
time next September rolls around.
He's the nth baseball personality
who has offered these views in the
last three weeks and because of it

idea that the Griffs will be "there"
during the important grind to

attractions ever offered local
court enthusiasts will be pre-

with the colored world champion

neither game were the visitors
forced to play their best ball.
The Celtics will be led by Joe
Lapchick, giant center, who will
be aided no little by Pete Barry.
Nat Hickey, Dave Banks, and

of the block play.
