BOARD UPH0LDS
MAJORITY RULE
A. F. of /. Wins Victory in
IA Interpretation by
u. S. Bureau.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The
national labor relations board to-
Gay struck at the heart of the strike
crisis by granting majority employees
the exclusive right to bargain COL
lectively with employers.
The decision was an interpreted
ton of section IA of the recovery
act and came as the most important
affecting the rights of labor since
passage of the act itself. 1t affects
literally hundreds of disputed cases
and clarifies one of the bitterest
points of conflict in the whole new
deal labor scheme.
The board wrote its decision in
the case of the Houde Engineering
Corporation of Buffalo, N Y, but
will apply it to all future collective
bargaining disputes.
I'VE have concluded" said the
board, that the only Interpretation
of section IA which can give effect
to its purposes is that the repre-
sentatives of the majority shall con-
stitute the exclusive agency for COL
lective bargaining with the en-
ployer."
The ruling reverses the decree of
President Roosevelt, in the automo-
bile strike, that IF there be more
than one group, each bargaining
committee shall have total member
ship pro-rata to the number of men
each member represents"
Today's decision, represented a
victory for the American Federation
of Labor since that body has con-
tended consistently that where its
unions represent a majority of en-
ployes in plant, they must be
recognized as the exclusive repre-
sentatives of all employees for COL
lective bargaining.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.
Smashing unrelentlessly at
the last remnants of the John
Dillinger gang, federal agents
today announced arrest of
seven persons, including
lawyer and two surgeons, on
charges of aiding the slain
outlaw and his followers.
The lawyer, Louis P. Piquett and
the doctors, Harold Bernard Cassidy
and Wilhelm Loeser, we're arrested
yesterday in raids led by j. Edgar
Hoover, head of the federal bureau
OF investigation. A clerk in Piquetts
Office, Arthur OLeary, was held
with them.
Others held are William and Ella
Finerty of Calumet City, Mich, and
Marie Confortu, under probation
from a sentence of a year and
day for harboring Dillinger gang

Melvin Purvis. Chicago chief of
the bureau of investigation, said Mr..
and Mrs Finerty gave refuge in
their home to Homer Van Meter.
Dillinger's slain lieutenant, while
the country seethed with a search
for him.
Mr. Purvis charged that the two
surgeons performed the facial oper-
| ations by which both Dillinger and
Van Meter attempted to evade rec
ignition and identification.
Physicians who examined both
outlaws after they were trapped and
killed by law officers said their faces
had been altered and their finger
tips mutilated. A dimple was taken
from Dillinger's chin and tell-tale
tattoo erased from Van Meters left
arm
Piquett was attorney for both Dill
linger and Evelyn Frechette, his
half-Indian sweetheart who is serv-
ing two years in the federal prison
at Milan, Mich, for aiding him.
Agents questioned him at length
when Dillinger escaped from the
Crown Point Ind) jail, a few days
after Piquett visited him in his cell.
He was not held, however, at that
time.
DR. Cassidy is under Indictment in
Ottawa, Ill, for perjury during
trial in which he testified for Frank
Zimmerman, accused bank robber.
DR.. Loeser, born in Germany and
formerly resident of Minden, Ia,
and Lawrence, Kan, was convicted
in 1881 of violation of the Harrison
narcotic act and is under parole.

.D|LL|NGER PAL,
.GOLDST|NE:, IS
GIVEN PAROLE
Fl. Wayne Gangster Spent
Fl of His 41 Years in
Various Prisons.

Sam Goldstine, Al, alleged men,
Der of the original Dillinger gang,
has been paroled from the In
diana state prison at Michigan City,
it was learned today.
Goldstine, according to Captain
Matt Leach of the Indiana state po-
lice, has spent a total of twenty
one years in prison.
Known to have been an intimate
of Dillinger in the Indiana state
prison at Michigan City and sus-
pected of associating with Dillinger
when the latter was paroled in 1888,
Goldstine proved too smart for the
officials.
Suspected of being a member of
the Dillinger mob which robbed
banks at Bluffton and New Car
Isle, O.. Goldstine was arrested last
August and brought to state police
headquarters in indianapolis.
Fail to Identify Suspect
There employees of the looted
banks failed to identify him, ac-
cording to Captain Leach. The
prisoner was sent back to Michigan
City as a parole violator. When his
case was brought before the parole
board, shortly after his return to
the prison, Goldstine argued with
Captain Leach before the board for
more than an hour.
Captain Leach maintained that
Goldstine had rented an apart
ment with Dillinger in Gary early
in 1888. Dnlinger according To
Leach, registered at the apartment
house as John Donovan, name
which the late bandit frequently
used as an alias.
Comes of Good Family
Goldstine steadfastly maintained
that the Donovan with whom he
lived was not Dillinger, but a friend
from Chicago. Leach told the pa
role board that he had established
that Dillinger was using auto license
plates issued under the name OF
Donovan.
The board postponed parole Of
Goldstine for one year, according to
Leach and the convict's case auto
matically came up a few days ago.
Goldstine, according to Leach, is
a member of highly respected Ft.
Wayne family.
Goldstine's criminal career start
ed 1904 when he was sent to the In
diana Boys school for two years as
an incorrigible.
Once Escaped Prison
In 1909 he served a one-to-e eight
year sentence for petit larcency and
in 1913 he was sentenced to serve
from one to twenty years in the
Illinois reformatory on charges of
robbery.
In 1918, records showed he was
given a one-to- eight-year term in
the Indiana reformatory. was trans
ferred to the prison, escaped and
was recaptured.
A year later he was resentenced to
five to fourteen years on robbery
charges.
In 1926, Goldstein was convicted
on charges of participating in a
shooting at Decatur which proved
fatal to the Adams county sheriff.
His sentence did not start until 1881
because of an appeal.
