Harvey Cole Held Second
Choice With Minton
Still Favored.
BY JAMES DOSS

With the Democratic senatorial
race cluttered up with a field of
ten entrants, there were persistent
reports today that Harvey Cole,
Peru attorney, would be the second
choice of the state administration,
if he is not the first
The huge field of senate aspir-
ants has political observers baffled
completely, but the Cole report
came from authoritative sources.
The administration plans at pres
ent, it was reported, call for an at
tempt to win with Sherman Min
ton, public service commission coun-
selor, and if he proves to be brok-
en- reed, to switch to Mr.. Cole what
delegates the administration lieu
tenants can control.
Tagged with the administration
label when he first was reported a
candidate, Mr.. Cole has taken a
new lease on political life as the
convention nears.
His advisors have made no effort
to build statewide organization
for him, but have concentrated on a
campaign completely shorn of bally-
hoo. His cause has been pushed
among the bankers, attorneys and
business men of the state with his
advisors stressing Mr.. Coles high
type of character, general ability,
lifelong party devotion and freedom
from factional or group alliance.
The administration problem boils
down to one thing: How to beat

STEEL RANKS
UNITE IN NEW
STRIKE THREAT
Rival Factions Pick Unified
Board to Confer With
U. S. Officials.
PEACE PACT IS SIGNED
Union Group in Farley With
Johnson After Operators
Complete Session.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Quar-
reling factions of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers signed peace pact to-
day and agreed upon a unified COM
mittee of five to confer with gov
ernment officials on the threatened
steel strike, the United Press
learned.
The committee was formed after
peace overtures by Big Mike Tighe,
union president, who has been at
odds with the unions so-called rank
and file committee over methods
of approach"
The rank and file has been for
direct action" through President
Roosevelt as opposed to Mr.. Tighe's
conciliatory methods.
The committee, the United Press
was informed, will be composed by
Mr.. Tighe, Edward W. Miller, union
vice president: William Long, Weir
ton, w. Va; Clarence Irwin, Youngs-
town, o. and Earl j. Forbeck, Nc
Keesport. Pa, representing the
rank and file.

Labor Secretary Frances Perkins

possessed authority to negotiate.
Shortly after the meeting broke
up, Assistant Labor Secretary Ed
ward F. McGrady said he and Re
covery Administrator Hugh S. John
son would meet with g. union COM
mittee" in General Johnson's office
at 1870 p. m. The new unified COM

question.

ensued in which the militia was
diSbursed and much damage done
to railroad property.
An even more deadly and colorful
riot took place in Pittsburgh, where
the strikers were employees of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Here the local militia refused to
move against the strikers and
troop was imported from Philadel-
phia. Open warfare quickly broke
out and the militia killed twenty
six strikers.
This stirred the mob to fury and
by the next morning they had the
militia on the run. The latter did
not stop until they reached Clare
mont, some twelve miles from Pitts
burgh. The mob. wild with resent
ment, turned with frantic vigor to
the ransacking and looting of rail-
road property. In less than a dav
1,600 cars and 100 engines had been
destroyed.
In Reading. Pa, the militia fra

eliminated in the famous Haymar-
ket riot of May 4, 1886, at Chicago.
Bad feeling had been engendered
as the result of strikes at the Nc
Cormick Reaper Works.
The police attempted to break up
a meeting of strikers and their SYM
pathizers. A bomb was thrown kill
ing one policeman and wounding
others. A pitched fight ensued and
seven policemen were killed and
about sixty wounded.
After one of the most monstrous
trials in American history, four of
the labor leaders we're executed and
others sentenced to long terms of
Imprisonment. No convincing evi-
dence was introduced connecting
them with the bomb throwing or
the battle which followed.
The conviction of the Chicago an
archists at this time was the fore

ternized with the strikers and dis
trihuted ammunition to them. One
troop recruited from the employer
class, however, recklessly opened
fire on the crowd, killing thirteen
persons and wounding twenty-five.
The crowd, hitherto peaceful, de-
rallied trains, demolished cars and
engines and burned bridges. The
militia men escaped with their lives
only by shedding their uniforms.
In st. Louis, the strikers gained
control of The bridge across the Mis-
sissippi and temporarily shut of
east and west traffic.
In 1884, industrial warfare was
renewed, the first important strikes
taking place on the Union Pacific
Railroad at Denver.
During 1884 and 1885 the strikers

the tide turned in 1886 when jay

and planted them on his trains.

DILL|NGER IS
DEAD, Slain
KILLER HINTS
Tommy Carroll, DeSperado's
Pal, Shot Down in
Waterloo, la.
By United Press

OU Onbb6U RTGSS
WATERLOO, Ia, June 8-"Hick
Town" policemen chalked up an
other victory today over the hard
boiled John Dillinger gang, with
Dilinger's ace machine gunner in a
morgue and rumors that the Hoo
sier desperate is dead substantiated
by a death-hed statement.
The gangs most feared killer,
Tony Carroll, died with frothing
lips last night, few hours after two
city detectives cuffed a gun from his
hand and shot him as he fled from
arrest.
Leaning over hospital cot, Fed
eral Agent o. H. Dewey asked him:
Where did you bury John?"
Carroll rolled his head to look the
agent defiantly in the eye.
Il hid him." he mumbled. Then
he died.
Pretty Wife Is Quizzed
Dewey was not certain whether
the little killer meant that Dillinger
was alive and in hiding or buried,
dead.
Questioning of pretty Jean
Crompton, %, who said she married
Carroll a little more than a week
ago, revealed no further clew to
Dillinger's fate since he, Carroll, the
girl and others of the gang shot
their way out of an ambush March
% near Spider Lake, Wis.
The mistake of leaving several
license plates and two guns on the
rear seat of his automobile caused
Carroll'S death. A garage mechanic
working on the car became suspi-
cious and called police.
A few minutes later Detectives P.
w. Walker and Emil Steffen saw
him and his girl companion emerge
from a beer tavern. Officer Walker
stepped to CAROLS side.
I'm an officer" he said.
Killed Federal Agent
THE hell you are" answered Car
roll. He grabbed at gun holstered
under his armpit. Walker knocked
him fiat with his fist. Carroll leaped
to MS feet, firing a second behind
the two detectives.
AS the outlaw fled three more
bullets struck him and he fell.
Carroll was wanted for the slay-
ing of w. Carter Baum, federal
agent, in the Spider Lake ambush;
killing of H. c. Perron, San Antonio
detective, and bank robberies in
Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota
in which loot totaled more than
$4,000.

The fall averaged nearly an inch

Southern and eastern sections of
the region burned to the brown of

ceived 1.56 inches, Merrill. Akron

Sioux City, inundated an area
three-fourths of a mile wide. Scores
of families fled to high ground on

This is not an untried expert

available from states, from indus

civilized world. The various types
of social insurance are interrelated,
and I think it is difficult to attempt
to solve them piecemeal.
Not Untried Experiment
Hence, I am looking for sound
means which / can recommend to
provide at once security against
several of the great disturbing fac
tors of life-especially those which
relate to unemployment and old
age.
"I believe there should be max
imum of cooperation between the
states and the federal government.
believe that the funds necessary
to provide this insurance should be
raised by contribution rather than
by an increase in general taxation.
Above all, L am convinced that
social insurance should be national
in scope, although the several states
should meet at least a portion OF
the cost of management, leaving tc
the federal government the respon-
sibihty of investing, maintaining
and safeguarding the funds consti-
tuting the necessary insurance re-

pointed out-"the security of the
home, the security of livelihood and
the security of social insurance are,
it seems to me, a minimum of the
promise that We can offer to the
American people.
