CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Investigators
pried into underworld rackets today
In search of a motive for the Staying
OF one man and wounding Of three
others by three smiling gunmen.
Rivalry between racketeers in Illicit
alcohol and gambling enterprises
offered the only immediate explana-
ton for the shootings.
The three killers, disguised as hunt
ers, entered a bakery in suburban
Chicago Heights yesterday. Hello,
SAM" said one of them to Sam Co.'S
tello.
AS Costello extended his hand in
greeting the gunner opened fire. He
fell, mortally wounded, with nine slugs
in the abdomen. He was wearing one
OF the diamond belt buckles given by
AL Capone to his close friends during
the turbulent prohibition era.
The 43-year-old victims brother,
Nick, 80, and two companions, Joseph
Di Giovanni, 10, and Malo Bagagli,
Al, were wounded. They and Sans
bodyguard. Luigi Onoforio, %, re-
turned the fire as the killers fed.
Onoforio and Chris Giordono, 43,
were taken into custody for ques-
tioning At the same time States
Attorney Thomas J. Courtney routed
from st. James Hospital two GRIM
visaged men who had gathered there
as guards for the wounded.
The suburb was the scene OF many
gangland outbreaks during the pro-
hibition era. There were IA killings
in an 18-month period in 1927 and
1928. when the city was considered
under the domination Of Capone.
The Staying OF Costello recalled the
killing OF Dion O'Bannion, one OF the

PEOPLES WILL HELD
FORCE TO PREVENT WAR

People themselves are the power
against war and can bring peace to
the world, the Rev. James M. Gillis Of
New York, editor of the Catholic
World declared in lecture last night
sponsored by the Convert League Of
the Catholic Daughters Of America at
the Willard Hotel.
Father Gillis urged his large audi
ence not to put too much trust in
diplomats. They can start wars, but
they cannot stop them, he said. They
can draw up treaties which do not
represent the will of the people, but
they cannot bring peace.
He deplored the attitude which &C
cepts the probability Of approaching
war with resignation and declared
that the people could bring peace. But
1t must be reconstructed people with
love Of peace.

the buying power of labor except as
curtailed by shrunken work oppor-
tunity; it gives leadership to the con-
fused and beWildered in business be-
cause it charts a definite course
which all industry will do well to
follow.
BEST of all it creates an oppor-

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The United
States Steel Corp. and the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization, their
1887 labor contracts renewed indefi-
nitely. left unanswered today the
question Of whether cuts in steel prices
would force wage reductions.
The contracts, announced yesterday
at the end of three-day conference,
left open the way for either reduc-
ton or increase in wages at any time
and even for termination of the agree
ments.
I'VE are of the opinion that the
agreements definitely stem the tide of
wage -slashing which has been i'm
minent throughout the country" said
Philip Murray, chairman of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee.
Heretofore" he added, there has
been decided hesitancy on the part
OF consumers to purchase steel. due to
the belief in many circles that price,
clashing would take place. This was
to be followed by wage reductions"
100000 Are Affected.
Even before he spoke, however, sew
eral independent steel companies an
nounced cut of 81 a ton in the price
OF cold-reduced and oiled sheets. The
Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp, largest
subsidiary of United States Steel, i'm
medlately met the new price.
Benjamin F. Fairless, president of
United States Steel, recently warned
the administration that Government
nsistence on reduced prices neces-
sarly would mean reduced wages.
The contracts renewed yesterday
maintain existing provisions for S.
a-day minimum, 4O-hour week and
time and half for overtime in four
subsidiaries of United States Steel.
The four companies, employing
100000, are Carnegie Illinois, Ameri-
can Steel g. Wire Co.. National Tube
Co. and Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail-
road Co.
AS the policies of U. S. Steel gen.
orally are followed by the rest of the
industry, said Mr.. Murray. some
100000 workers will be affected by
these contracts"

Opened Saturday EUe.

Vertin's new and most modern res
taurant was opened to the public on
Saturday evening with an attendance
that kept every available seat in the
spacious new dining place filled until
the early hours of the morning.
1t is estimated that over 400 people
were served, according to Mr.. Vertin,
who presided at the opening. While
there were not that many checks, it was
stated that groups at tables in most
cases had only one slip.
Chef Rogers and his assistant, Mrs.
Mary Melovasich, were kept on the
jump all evening preparing the meals
served while the fountain service also
was busy as we'll as the lunch counter.
Judging by the beginning, the new
eating house is proving a success and
Mr.. Vertin is being congratulated by
his many friends.
