The labor boards decision was
reached after an investigation Of all
phases of alleged discrimination

the company. The discrimination
charges we're brought by Charles P.
Drake, business agent of Local No.

Following the local strike settle

that the company arrangements re-

been arrested for alleged acts of
violence during the strike, and its
refusal to discharge all those who
had been hired since Sept. 4. con-
stituted discrimination against the
workers.

HAUPTMANN AS
RANSOM TAKER
Bronx Educator Now Sure
Suspect Is Mysterious
John.
WILL BE STAR WITNESS
Alien Also Killer, State
Claims: Sleeping Garment
Held Link.
BIZ United Press


PENNINGTON, N. J., Oct. 90
DR.. John F. Condor, the kindly old
Bronx school teacher who became
internationally known as "Jafsie" of
the Lindbergh case, will be one of
the star witnesses against Bruno
Richard Hauptmann.
This was indicated today by an
authoritative source after it was
learned that DR.. Condor had iden-
tilted Hauptmann as the receiver of
the $4,000 ransom paid for the re-
turn of the kidnapped Charles A.
Lindbergh Jr.
Prosecuting authorities are con-
fdent they will be able to show,
when Hauptmann goes on trial for
the child's murder next Jan. 2, that
the receiver of the ransom money
also was the kidnaper.
The fact that DR.. Condor re-
ceived the sleeping garment the
baby wore when he was taken from
his. crib in the Lindberghs' Hope
we'll manse, will serve as the con-
Meeting link.
Due for Star Witness Role
DR.. Condor is certain to be one OF
the most colorful witnesses oil
Hauptmann's trial. His white hair
his kindly manner and his long
distinguished record as a public
school principal, would impress al
most any jury.
Informed of DR.. Condon's identi-
fication of his client, James M. Faw-
cett, defense counsel, commented:
We'll, 1 heard that. It's only a
rumor. I've heard rumors the
other way. The defendant stated
some time ago that he had never
seen 'Jafsie' in his life"
The defense, it was believed, I'M
doubtedly will attempt to recall at
the trial that DR.. Condor failed to
positively identify Hauptmann when
he confronted him after the arrest
five weeks ago.
Colonel Recognizes Voice
However, it was learned recently
that at the time DR.. Condor de-
cided to keep his own counsel until
Colonel Lindbergh himself had had
an opportunity to see the suspect
Subsequently, Colonel Lindbergh
recognized Hauptmanns voice as
that of a man who shouted, Hey
Doctor" to JafSie from behind a
cemetery wall.
Hauptmann's wife, who has WIS.,
tied him every day during his in
generation here, asked Sheriff John
H. Curtis to deny him newspapers
as she feared they might upset him
Henceforth Hauptmann will get
books from the county library.

positions and who undertake
to stir up strife between the
veterans and other classes of
people.
When President Herbert Hoover
was driving the ragged veterans
out of Washington at the points Of
bayonets, Senator Robinsons voice
was not raised in protest. In fact,
he never has spoken for the vet
Grams except to try for an issue
instead of benefits for the veterans.
When the budget had to be cut
orastically in 1888, the economy bill
was passed. The regulations put
ting its provisions into force we're
too severe and worked many in.
justices on worthy cases.
Not All Pleasant
As soon as its effect was known,
the Democratic caucus of the house
met and appointed a committee to
call on President Roosevelt and
suggest to him that we could not
consistently adjourn until worthy
benefits we're restored.
Representative Wright Patman
of Texas and l were the veterans
members of the committee. We
found a very warm reception at
the White House and the President
welcomed us to be of assistance in
adjusting both the law and the reg
ulations.
I'VE spent practically all of four
days with him and Lewis Douglas,
budget director, and General Hines,
veterans affairs director. It was not
all pleasant between Douglas and
me, since we got into such a heated
argument in front of the Presidents
desk that at one time he ordered us
into the cabinet room to settle our
differences.
The the end of this negotiation,
100000 600 a year was restored to
crippled ex-soldiers and their de-
pendents.
fHliHCdtlOn Is hecdueQ
While we were fighting for and
obtaining those benefits, the great
est hindrance we had came from the
action of Senator Robinson, of In
diana, who arose in the senate and
began to vlllify the President.
He accused him Of selling out the
veterans, as we'll as many other per-
fidies, which should have been be-
meath the dignity Of a senator. This
placed as and the veterans cause
on the defensive with the Presi-
dent, and We had to work under a
handicap. 1t became apparent that
the senator was afraid we would adj
just the grievances and he wanted
an issue more than he wanted re-
stored benefits.
We veterans are a part of this
great republic and are entitled not
to have a prejudice developed
against us by Incorporate efforts to
use US for political eXpediency. That
is one Of the best reasons 1 have for
being in Indiana advocating the
election Of Sherman Minton to the
United States senate.
