BIG BILL BACK

CHICAGO, March 17.-William
Hale big Bib Thompson and his
SideShow Glowing loomed upon Chi
cago'S apolitical horizon today to
aggravate developments arising from
attempts to name a successor to the
late Mayor Anton j. Cermak.
The fact that Big Bill the Build
err definitely is trying to regain con-
troll while Democrats fight among
themselves was established when the
United Press learned that the
former cowboy" mayor already has
rented loop theater and will make
four addresses there during the
inevitable contest for the mayorShip.
Democrats, in control of the city
council, already have selected Frank
Corr as acting mayor, but eventually
an election must be held to fill the
Cermak vacancy.
Two Named as Possibilities
Thompson, it was learned. does
not plan to become a candidate
himself. Reliable information said
his candidate probably will be
George F. Harding, former member
Of ThompSon'S cabinet, or Oscar
F.. Nelson, Republican floor leader
in the city council.
Rumors travelled fast about the
threatened return Of Thompson
ism" Politicians, recalling that even
in defeat Thompson polled almost
half a million votes, considered the
rumors seriously, especially when
they learned that Big Bill" was
reorganizing his old America First"
party, which always has had more
money than any other Chicago
political organization.
The announcement worried Re-
publicanS even more than Demo-
cratic leaders.
Disintegration of the Republican
party in Illinois began two years
ago, when Thompson was defeated
by Cermak. Last November, Thomp-
sons candidate for Governor, Len
Small, was defeated Anti Thomp-
oO4ls VI oCl d4S III HIT IOtDuUllCdIlS
hoped that these defeats would
cause Thompson to seek political
retirement.
Democratic Lines Broken
Politicians of all parties saw in
Thompson's maneuvering today a
possible indication that Democratic
leaders who have broken party lines
since Cermaks death may have
promised Thompson their support. 1t
was recalled that when he was
mayor, Thompson's method of por-
tioning patronage met general APP
proval among aldermen, whereas
Cermak later was less discriminate.
Another factor is the admitted
unrest among what is known as the
Irish" group, which has claimed
the city by tradition and which is
reported as seeing no chance to win
control through a Thompson candi-
date.
Added to these worries among
'straight-line" Republicans was the
knowledge that the Thompson or
ganization can collect more cam
paign funds than other groups.
Thompson's America First" organ
ization numbered several thousand
contributing members a few years
ago.

GEN JOHNSON IS CHEERED BY THE
 LABOR FORCES
Made Stirring Speech Be- fore American Fedora.
 ton at Capital
BY H. o. THOMPSON United Press Staff Correspondent)

Washington, Ost 11-Organized labor constitutes the nations prin- cipal pHop against another econom- ic collapse in the opinion of Ro. covery Administrator Hugh S.. s. Johnson.
 In full evening regalia because of a dinner engagement at the White House, Johnson faced tho convention of the American Feder- ation of labor last night with Q plea that 1t prevent another breakdown by wise use of power.
 "We can't stand another col- lapse," he told the labor leaders You are the principal props against collapse. You cannot escapo your responsibility"
 Johnson was cheered repeatedly.
 Labor does not need to strike under the Roosevelt plan" he said. "The plain stark truth Is that you cannot tolerate the strike.
 If now-when the whole power of this government and It's people are being given to an effort to pro" vide and maintain to the ultimate the rights of every man who works for pay--you permit or counten. ance economic sabotage, public confidence and opinion will turn against you and the turn will be either to the extreme right or tho extreme left and either would ro- suit in your destructioi."
 Johnson bluntly denounced the "ten pc rcenters" of both industry and labor who he said were at tempting to thwart tho national recovery program. To illustrate this criticism. he spoke of the minority of bituminous coal operators and minority of miners blocking fuel effectiveness of the coal code.
 Quoting economic authority to show that recovery movements al- ways bring labor troubles. Josnson said that there are far fewer strikes In this recovery than In any other In history"
 If that means anything 1t means that the III informed and inimical chatter about the recovery pro- gram being responsible for strikes Is just, plain nonsense" he said.
 "We will find our way out Of this mess not by smashing down what has been built up but by ap. plying intelligence and timing and control of this complex machine Of which we are all n part. And that is exactly what the MIRA Is in' tened to do."

 Whereas in July there had been only eight murder cases disposed of and four men sentenced to pris- on, In August the courts handled | al murder cases and sent 23 men to prison, five of them for life terms.
 Punishment was as stern as it was sure. Men guilty of offenses in which guns were used were given sentences of from one year to life, The "habitual criminal law was brought into play to send away old-time offenders,

 It cost Uncle sam four years of effort and $150,000 of expense to put Al Capone, emperor of Chi- cago's underworld, behind the bars of the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, but 1t seems to have been we'll worth the price,
 Today this ex-cZar of crime who was toppled from tho throne that he held for years, with brazen arrogance and death-deal- ing power, Is cobbling shoes in the prison shoe shop. In these days of unemployment At ut least has something to be. thankful for, ; because he has q steady job un- til December, 1888 --- counting maximum time off for good be- havior.
 The conviction of Capone prob ably will go down as the most sig nificant in Americas criminal history. It demonstrated the hith- erto impossihle-thata gang chief entrenched In power by crooked politics and the guns of his hood lums could be snatched from his million -dollar-a-yea throne and tossed In jail like any ordinary felon.
 It remained for Uncle Sam to do this, although he was forced to resort to the indirect method of prosecution for income tax evasion.
 Gang Empire Crumbles
 With the downfall of Capone, his gangland empire crumbled. That is not to say that gangsters anu racketeers disappeared entirely, for ] Chicago still Is Chicago and by no means has the millennium arrived. But as Capones iron grip loos- ened and the old organization fell away, rival gangsters began fight ing among themselves for power Depression slashed the prohts de- rived from vice, gambling, liquor and raeketeer!ng.
 The climax came with the re- turn of legal beer, which destroyed this bootleg industry and caused Hundreds of petty gangstors to turn to holdups, burglary, and similar crimes,
 Which brings us down to the present--and finds Chicago In the midst of the greatest war on crimo in sts history, and crime definitely on the run.
 Since the present drive was be- gun onAug ust 1 by Judge John Prystalski, then chief justice of Chicago's criminal courts, more than 300 criminals have been sent
