Backed by an unequivocal pledge
of financial aid by the State gov.
eminent of Pennsylvania in event
of a strike, industrial unionism
organizers today were filtering
quietly through Sprawling steel
mill towns in an intensive cam
paign to recruit converts into the
ranks of the Amalgamated ASso-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers.
The flat promise to aid strikers
if a strike is forced was made by
Thomas Kennedy, bespectacled
little labor leader who holds the
three important posts of lieutenant
governor and member Of the emer-
gency relief board of Pennsylvania,
and international secretary treas
urer of the United Mine Workers
of America.
Kennedy declared:
This is a peaceful Organi-
ZatiOn drive; no trouble is
looked for. If the steel mag
mates throw the people into
the streets, then the PennsyI-
vania Emergency Relief Board
will find that these people are
entitled to relief under the
law"
Deny Forced Labor
Charges that the mills were alb
normally ordered into operation on
Sunday was fatty denied by a
spokesman for Carnegie-Illinois
Steel Corporation, the districts

"The normal operation has
been for years for the mills to
close at o'clock Saturday after
noon and resume again "a hours
later at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon. Because of the Fourth Of
July, they closed at 3 o'clock Fri
day afternoon last week. Any
charge this was abnormal or

Canon WoIven Says
Youth Extorted
$500 From Him

Accused of having obtained
nearly $500 from a prominent
Washington clergyman through ex-
tortion over a two-year period, a
21-year-old youth was indicted by
the District Grand Jury today on
charges of blackmail and robbery.
Horace w. Richardson, 81, Of
no fixed address, is the defendant
in the case in which the Rev. Ray
mond L. Wolven, canon of Wash
ington Cathedral and son.in-law of
the Right Rev. Bishop James E.
Freeman, is complainant.
According to the story Canon
Wolven is said to have told the
Grand Jury, he was accoated by
the youth on August 90, 1888, and
asked for money. The youth de-
clared he was hungry, the clergy
man told police, and the alleged
blackmail- victim took him to a
restaurant in the vicinity of Du-
pont Circle where they had met
and purchased a meal for him.
The robbery occurred on that
same day. according to the evil
dence. The youth asked the clergy
man if he would assist him to
find lodging for the night and,
obligingly, Canon Wolven is said
to have taken him in his car to-
ward the Gospel Mission after
Richardson declared he was nearly
exhausted and without funds to
reach the place.
When they neared the vicinity
of Fifth Street and New York
Avenue, the accused drew a knife,
it is said, and took the clergyman'S
wrist watch, valued at $35, and Sc
in cash, telling the latter that if
