Nephew Will Guide
Pendergast Machine
Until Boss Returns
Income Tax Prison Term
Will End in Time for
1910 Elections
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, May 23.-Prison
will not keep Tom Pendergast, long
time head of Kansas City's tottering
Democratic organization, from the
1910 elections.
Pendergast goes to LeavenWorth,
Kans., Federal Prison Monday to
begin 15-month sentence for evad-
ing income taxes. On good be-
havior, he'll be out in year, in time
to prepare for the August primaries
and the November election. He be-
comes eligible to apply for parole in
five months.
Missouri will elect successor to
Gov. Lloyd c. Stark, outspoken critic
of Pendergast; a United States Sem
ator for the post held by boss
backed Harry S. Truman, 13 Rep
resentatives and a full slate of State
: officials. Missouri Governors may
not succeed themselves.
What part the 66-year-old boss"
may play in the 1910 elections is
problematical. In the past he has
elected Governors, State Supreme
Court justices, Representatives and
United States Senators. He has
held virtual control of the Legisla-
ture.
There appears to be little doubt
his organizatio will attempt to car
ry on, at least in Kansas City and
jackson County.
His nephew, Jim-son of Brother
Jim from whom Tom inherited the
nucleus he developed into a powerful
machine-has been trained for years
to take over. When Boss Tom was
i'll In New York in 1896, it was
Nephew Jim who guided the Demo-
Gratis to sweeping victories not only
here but throughout most of Mis-
souri,.
That sweep led to the Govern
ment's sensational vote-fraud purge
here in which 256 election officials
were prosecuted without single ac-
quittal.
Nephew Jim sat at Boss Toms left
In court yesterday. Frequently they
conferred.

Chairman j. Warren Madden of
the National Labor Relations Board
told the House Labor Committee
today that local unions aff1liated
with the American Federation of
Labor have turned recently to the
board for help more often than have
G. I. o. unions.
Mr.. Madden cited figures on
Labor Board cases in reply to con-
tentions that the board has shown
partiality toward the C. I. o.
Criticizing' changes in the Wag-
ner Labor Act proposed by the A.
r. Of L., he said.
Il can find no explanation for
these destructive proposals except
for the irritations which have arisen
from the unhappy division in the
labor movement. That irritation
was expressed by President Green
tof the A. r. Of L. when he wrote
last August in the American Fed
erationist, They (the board have
given an insurgent group dhe C. I
o. the rights of belligerents.'
Saw No Other Cause.
II am aware of no principle of
law or justice under which the board
could have done otherwise. And l
say that without the slightest inti-
nation Of any opinion as to the
merits of the controversy between
the A. F. of L. and the c. I. O.,
which Is none Of the boards busi-
ness"
In the first three months of this
year, Chairman Madden said, A. F.
Of L. unions have brought TIT cases
to the board and C. /. O. unions
have brought 593.
Francis P. Fenton, A. F. of L.
director Of organization, told the
Senate Labor Committee yesterday
the federation would resort to strikes
if it could not obtain justice under
the Wagner Act.
mo matter how wrongfully the
Wagner Act is administered" Mr.
Fenton said, 1.-The A. r. of l.. will
continue its policy, using the act
to promote collective bargaining, but
resorting to its economic strength
if the act does not give justice to
its petitions
Unwarranted Delays Charged.
In his complaint against board
administration of the act. Mr.. Fen
ton charged 'unwarranted delays
inefficient Investigations. abuses OF
discretion and partiality to the C.
I. o. and bias against the A. F. of L.
Much of the trouble the A. F. of
l.. has had. he said, was with the
appointees, examiners who make the
Investigations.
Many of them" he added, were
appointed by the C. I. o.
During his testimony, Mr.. Fenton
charged that the board had al
lowed the C. I. o. to file fictitious
charges of unfair labor practices

New York Throng Sees
Enthronement Of
Spe||man
Successor to CurdinoI
Hoyes Installed With
Majestic Ritual
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 23-A former
zr"cer's boy today became the
spiritual and temporal leader of a
million Catholics in the New York
diocese, one of the richest and most
powerful in the world.
Mighty chimes pealed out a well
come from the twin spires of St.
Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth ave-
nue. and a deep-throated organ
bathed the vast interior of the ca
thedral with the surging notes of
Ravanello's Hymn of Glory" as the
Most Rev. Francis Joseph Spellman
was installed as the sixth arch
bishop of New York.
All the pageantry and the solemn
ritual handed down through the
centuries of church history we're
unfolded before the worshipful
thousands who pressed into the ca
thedral and overf1owed into the
streets.
Dull gray skies that carried a
threat of rain had not deferred them
from coming to pledge fealty to their
new leader.
500 Police Handle Crowd.
Hours before the great portals
were opened. more than 500 police
men were assigned to shepherd the
crowds around the cathedral. which
occupies the block bounded by Fifth
and Madison avenues, Fiftieth and
Fifty-first streets.
The elevation of Bishop Spellman,
who once drove a grocery wagon for
his father in Whitman, Mass.
brought to st. Patrick's the greatest
assemblage of the hierarcy since the
pontificial mass Of requiem was said
last year for Patrick Cardinal Hayes
some so bishops and archbishops
and hundreds of the lesser clergy.
1t was to the archbishopric of
Cardinal Hayes that Bishop Spell
man was appointed by Pope Plus
XII.
The instruments for the mighty
pageant of ritual reaching back
through the centuries had been as
sembled for his elevation-a pontif-
ical procession into old st. Patrick's S
Cathedral, the enthronement itself
and, at the end, the celebration Of
the solemn pontiflcal mass.
Three Great Choirs Massed.
The order of the procession was
headed by detachment of the 165th
Infantry-the old Fighting 69th"
OF World War days-of the National
Guard followed by cross bearers,
students and church dignitaries.
Three great choirs were massed-
those of the cathedral, St. Joseph s
Seminary and Cathedral College
for the traditional hymns of praise
and of glory.
