sent out a call for organization men
to assemble June II at Pittsburgh.
TT Is intended to prosecute a Wig
orous and efficient campaign of or
ganization throughout the whole steel
industry" said Lewis.
THE supporters of this great move

industry can long continue to
withhold from American workmen
the privileges which are theirs by
every moral and legal precept."

man of the Pittsburgh district of the

INSURANCE RACKET

DIE MYSTER|OUSLY
Trial Justice Sits Evidence
in Strange Cases in
Massachusetts.
THREE RECENT VICTIMS
BELIEVED POISONED
Early Reports of Accidental
Deaths Erased by Police
After Investigations.
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 13.-
Search for a solution of poison
deaths near here turned today to the
tenement district Of the mill town of
Ludlow.
There, detectives from State police
headquarters at Boston began the
task of interviewing survivors Of two
men whose sudden deaths started an
investigation of what the towns trial
justice, George B. Haas. termed a
gigantic insurance racket"
Before them was the request OF
Justice Haas that they investigate
mot alone the three recent deaths,
but nearly so suspicious ones in the
past IS years"
"At the present time" declared
State Detective Lieut.. William Puzzo,
I'VE are conflning our activities TO
probe of the deaths of Frank Hal
gas and Frank Kroll of Ludlow and
Jacob Znoj of Chicopee-all within
the past three months"
I'VE are looking over their insur-
ance records" he continued, 'in an
effort to determine definitely whether
they were slain.
Poison Dosages Found.
"A toxicologist's examination re-
vealed similar dosages of poison in
each of their bodies.
I'VE know nothing officially of any
of the other deaths"
But I will say this" Puzzo added,
Judge Haas is very familiar with
Ludlow. and knows what is going
on over there"
For Is years Judge Haas has served
as trial justice in Ludlow. He has
criminal jurisdiction over minor Of
fenses and can impose fines up to $50
and jail sentences up to six months
One of his duties is to preside at
inquest hearings.
I'VE have learned that outsiders
carried heavy insurance on two of the
victims" Puzzo asserted. "and We are
concentrating our investigation along
that line" He declined to amplify
that statement.
How They Died.
Halgas, so, was found April 4, lying
in the street, apparently killed by hit
and-run driver.
Kroll tumbled down a flight of stairs
to his death at his boarding house
May 25.
znoj, 40. died April %, apparently Of
heart attack.
Justice J. ]. Kirby held an inquest
yesterday into the death of Znoj.
Seven witnesses were heard. Spec
tators were barred from the court
room. Witnesses testimony was kept
secret. His report will be filed soon
at Springfield.
Still pending is the inquest into the
death of Kroll. That comes under
the jurisdiction of Judge Haas.
All three victims-Halgas. Kroll and
Znoj-were of Polish extraction.
In recent years trial justices have
been supplanted in many instances
by District Court justices, whose pow
ers, the State attorney generals office
said, are much greater under Massa-
chusettS law.
A trial justice may, under the State
law, find men guilty and impose SEN
tence in certain cases." an assistant
attorney general explained. 1t is an

rural districts, and there are few

Everett Victor
Over Delaney

Buck Everett, District heavy
weight, pulled sort Of Joe Louis
in the fourth round of his fight
with AL Delaney last night at
Griffith Stadium.
He jumped up quickly after
being knocked down by the young
Buffalo heavyweight. But instead
of looking and feeling groggy,
Buck surprised Delaney by tearing
in with punches galore, beating
him off in a great smuggling ex'
change.
Buck kept up this offensive
throughout the remainder of the
fight. 1t went 10 rounds and Ev.
erett won the decision by a com.
Portable margin. And what made
it more complete was the fact the
crowd agreed with the judges.
It was the first time Delaney
has lost here in six bouts. Also
it marked the first time the Buff
talo boy had been forced 10 go
ten rounds.
Everett had AL in a bad way on
several occasions in the later 60

right in the awed fea-
lures of 1900 fight

dunn, by taking a TO-
round decision in the
role of the underdog.
By so doing he is the second
fighter in Manager Jimmy Err

a highly rated fighter look
bad, if by no other vehicle
than a very uncouth and un-
orthodox style born of cour-
age and a fair knowledge of
fighting.

pion Freddy Miller through his
unorthodox style.
\ Spindle-legged and with physi-
cal development that might have
been acquired in CCC camp, Ev-
erett proved the harder of the two
fighters who entertained the
sparsely populated Stadium and
won because what he lacked in
science and skill he more than
made up in stamina and a rough,
good, two-handed attack that IL
nally whitfield out a victory for
him.
Unanimous And HoW!
The decision was unanimous. It
was even more than that. Beside
captivating the fancy Of the judges
and referee, Everett also won over
the audience and when crowd and
officials agree 100 per cent in the
outcome of any local fight not a
knockout, there you find the mil
lennium in accord.
Everett started very poorly,
thank you, and in the earlier
phases Of the fight it didn't seem
that his skinny ShankS would sur
vive the strain Of the fast pace
that Delaney established.
But as the plodding Everett
waged his war, he seemed to i'm
prove. His confidence in the face
Of a sharp-shooting slugger such
as Delaney also never deserted
him and toward the last he was
flicking left smaShes in AIS face
with abandon.
Everett contented himself well
through the first six rounds with
a body attack that ultimately had

and holding.
Delaney Is Desperate
For the final four stanzas,
Delaney seemed to sense he had
lost prestige and became desperate
with a series OF wild stampedes
which Everett weathered and re-
paid with compound interest.
Buck, apparently knowing some
thing of Delaney's change Of pace
when trailing, met these rushes
by blocking them with a half
turned body, his long left finding
its target in Delaney's well-exposed
complexion.
There was considerable senti-
ment in the audience in the
eighth, ninth and tenth for Ever

now wearing a sickening look
