Battle RACES on Roof
Of Chicago Home

CHICAGO, July 20 U.N.S0.-
Throwing the entire building into
a furore, moronic prowler fought
a half,hour gun battle with 40 po-
lice on the roof of the lying-in
hospitals nurses home before he

Two policemen who first re-
Sponded to the alarm were held
at bay by the mans revolver as

crawled under the bed. AS po-
lice cornered him he raised on an
elbow and Detective Frank Roth

Meet Here Tomorrow

By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

Tomorrow the new order of in
dustrial unionism meets to deter
mine what attitude it will take to-
ward the anger and bitterness Of
the old.
John L. Lewis, of the United
Mine Workers, powerful leader Of
more than a million workmen who
believe the way to unionize labor
is along industrial, or mass lines,
has called his forces together.
They will decide whether to accept
a chastising from the old craft
union leaders, or strike out for
themselves in new movement.
The old forces are led by mild
hammered PreSi dent William
Green of the American Federation
Of Labor, the same forces that
whipped an industrial union move
ment called the Knights Of Labor
so years ago, and then absorbed
their membership.
Lewis Defiant
These old forces have called
the youngsters of today to task
with a bitterness born of legend

faith of craft unionism, and burly
John Lewis has answered with a
defiant, continuing cry that

Within three weeks, when the
day comes on which the Lewis
forceS-enlisted in an organiza-
ton called the Committee for In
duStrial Organization-are SEIZED
uled to appear and answer for
their defiance. one of three things
must happen.
John Lewis must give in and
call off his forces now organizing
the steel industry along industrial
lines, which he says positively he
will not do-the American Fed.
Grafton of Labor must take punt

Up to noon today the author

alibi and Sheriff Brown said that
before he interrogates Wollner
again he will have the stories Of
at least three others. Wollner,
meanwhile, has been held incom-

near him for the purposes of ques-
tioning since Saturday night.
Joe Urey, 81, colored bellboy,

came convinced he had no knowl-
edge Of the crime which has
shocked this resort section.
Wollner's whereabouts at the
hour of the crime was a matter
Of the closest police inquiry in
spite of Miss Wards statement
that he was in the Ward home
from about 10 o'clock Wednesday
night until shortly before 8
o'clock Thursday morning.
She said Wollner went to his
room on the second floor at about
1870 p. m. She went to her room
on the first floor, where her
mother also slept. She said she
is a light sleeper and if Wollner
had left during the night she is
certain she would have heard him.
Miss Ward was positive Wollner

Whitaker, 30. and Mrs. Ray

house next door.
Miss Whitaker, according to
Sheriff Laurence E. Brown, said
that between $50 and 7 o'clock
Thursday morning she saw Woll-
ner knocking on the window of
Miss Wards firSt-floor bedroom.
There was no response to the
knock, Brown quoted the woman
as saying. AS he walked around
the back steps, Miss Whitaker
said she noticed he was limping
and walking with difficulty.
The man who killed Miss Clev-

Wollner, according to Miss
Whitaker's story to the police,
went in the back door of the
Ward home. Approximately four
hours later she claims she saw
Wollner and Miss Ward come out
on the back porch. The girl
seemed to be protesting Wollner'S

If the Federation decides to

porting Lewis, the united front
that labor has maintained for so
years will be split wide open. A
third of the membership of the
100000 strong A. F.. of L. will go
over to the new order-along with
the accompanying $4,000 a

Will Affect Campaign
That situation would inevitably
inject itself into the presidential
campaign. Already newspaper
and magazine editorials have
pointed out that such a split
would do the reelection hopes Of
President Roosevelt no good.
Because of this political aspect,
and because of the economic harm
that would be wrought by a break,

It seemed there could be no re-

some elements in both the A. F. of
L. and the CLIO, hoped to avert
the physical breakup until after
the elections next November.

KANSAS CITY, July 20 G.N.SO.
Kansas Citians today were sweep
ing up dust and gathering tree
limbs, the result of a 55-mile-an-
hour gale that late last night
brought brief spell of cooler
weather but no rain.
The wind blew over signs, split
trees, smashed plate-glass store
windows and unroofed an apart
ment house. Broken electric wires
were reported in SIS places. A radio
power line was snapped, silencing
the broadcast.
The temperature dropped from
90 to IA degrees in 80 minutes as

1t isn't so much that the plowing

Perhaps o few large drops have fallen,
