CHICAGO, July "a. John
Dillinger was trapped by a woman
torn between the conflicting emo
tions of loyalty to the man who
supported her on one hand and
fear, jealousy and the lust for
money on the other.
The mysterious woman in red
who played mistress to Dillinger
through several weeks of his wild
flight from the law, met the out
law in a Calumet City, Illinois
saloon and went with him to
escape the sordid life of a lady at
the bar
Corner of the veil of censor

Dillinger hunt was lifted today and
revealed that Dillinger never sus-

SEA|MEN To

ARBITRATION
SAN FRANCISMO, July "a. U.P)

SAN FRANCISMO, July "a U.P)
Additional hope that the Pacific
coasts stubborn maritime strike
may be settled came today with an
nouncement by the national long
shoremens board that vote will
be held by seaman to determine
who shall represent them in collec-
tive bargaining with their employ
ers.
The announcement came as a
vote by striking longshoremen on
the question of arbitration was
drawing to a close, and it was
reported the men favored arbitra-
ton as a possible basis of settle
ment.
Balloting by the seamen was
expected to last for several months,
in order to permit sailors now at
sea to come to their home ports
and cast ballots. The ballots are
being prepared and probably will
be sent out Thursday or Friday
to all Pacific ports.
The representatives selected by
the seaman will meet with en-
ployers in an effort to settle their
differences. DR.. Louis Bloch said
that if collective bargaining fails
as method of settlement the
case will be placed in the hands
of a mediation board as will that of
the longshoremen if their vote
favors a return to work.

LABOR CHIEF
BY FRED BAILEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS, July "a. Mem
bers of the Cleaners, Dyers and
Laundry Workers union walked out
today in sympathy with striking
truck drivers. Leaders said the
strike was for day only.
Pickets were placed about the rs
affected cleaning and laundry
plants. The union, claiming mem
bership of 1000, said the strike
would affect 34OO employees of the
industry.
The strike was called despite a
warning from William Green, presl-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor, that the federation would
not countenance sympathy strike
by the laundrymen.
Green's telegram threatened the
union with loss of its charter. 1t
was the A. F. of LIS first direct
action in the strike of the General
Truck Drivers and Helpers union.
Federal mediators received re-
ply from employers to new peace
proposal. Members of the truck
mems union said their reply would
be ready later today.
Gov. Floyd B. Olson said his
next step" would depend upon &C
ceptance or rejection of the pro-
posal.
The proposal, advanced by Rev.
Francis j. Haas, and E. H. Dun
ningan, federal mediators, had to
do with "Stttlement of the repre-
sentation of workers and arbitra-
ton of differences between workers
and employers
1.-THE question of police conveys
and (or) military intervention de-
pends upon the answer of the re-
spective parties to the proposal
submitted by the mediators," Cow

The gang chief, it was learned,
went from his favorite haunts in
northern Indiana and South
Chicago to Rhinelander, Wis. about
July 8, accompanied by the woman

When he started on the trip Dill
linger made the error that led to
his eventual death. He was not
content with one woman. He took
two, thereby sowing the seeds OF
jealousy which contributed to his
death.
Abandoned by his confederates
because the heat" was on him,
Dillinger and the two women hid
out in the north woods for a
week, returning to Chicago July ID.
The strategy of the return was
typical of the Dillinger cunning
that for months kept him beyond
the reach of the best criminolo-
gists in the nation.

Committee Warns Ranchers To

DROUGHT NOT EASING UP
Valley Must Continue To Con-
serve Supplies And Use All
Precautions.

Only few scattered showers are
reported in the upper basin and
little promise is held out of rain
over Wednesday in the report re-
ceived at irrigation district head
quarters this morning from the
Yuma office of the weather bur-
eau. This follows scattering storms
which were recorded in Colorado
over the weekend.
Further drops in the Colorado

At meeting of the county en-
ergency water control committee
held at the court house last night
a warning was issued to all stock
men Of the county that they must
Immediately prepare to store stock
water for at least two days supply
at time. This is due to the fact
that in spite of reported rains in
the watershed of the Colorado
river, residents of the county are
not to look upon the drought as
broken and stockmen must make
every effort to protect themselves
in this emergency.
Concentration of stock was al
so recommended by the committee
which considered every possible
means to secure the conservation
of water for stock uses.
Hauling of water to stock is now
underway IN districts east and west
of Brawley, north of Holtvillc

Calipatria today. All available
equipment will be used for this
purpose but it was stressed that
the ranchers must make the proper
arrangements for the storage of
this water after it is received.

attempt to reach Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd's hut l23 miles
south of this base, prepared today
to dig their tractor out of blizzard

they had given up as impossible the
task Byrd set them by heading
through the darkness Of the polar
winter to get him out.
In the blizzard, which sent the
temperature sykrocketing from II
degrees below zero to somewhere
above 80 below, the tractor was
half buried. The task of starting
it again was certain to be arduous.
Special blow torches are used to
warm the motor.
Byrd, though he had mentioned
bad arm," said at his last wire

Cattle died by the score. Farm

miles were turned back at the
gates to make the trip to farms
where no feed and little water
awaited their calves.
Four hundred pickets guarded
every entrance to the yards. A heavy
police guard was detailed to the
