PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb. 4.-The Ma
tion's most famous early-day KID
naping case, the spiriting away OF
4-year-old Charles Brewster Ross,
near Philadelphia, in 1874, was re-
called today when a Phoenix resi-
dent started court action to estab-
lish his identity as the long missing
person.
Gustave Blair, 69-year-old car
penter, filed suit in Superior Court
naming Walter L. Ross, Sophia Ross,
Marian K. Ross and Anne c. Ross,
children of Christian K. Ross, de-
ceased, as defendants, alleging they
have refused to recognize him as
Charles Brewster Ross.
Mr.. Blair's complaint said the
plaintiff did not seek decree or
Judgment to determine heirship or
property rights, "as all that is long
since barred by time" He asked
only that he be entitled to bear the
name of Charles Brewster Ross.
The complaint stated that Mr..
Blair had been reared by a man
named Rinear Miller and alleged
that Mr.. Miller's son, L. c. Miller,
had guarded him as child in a
cave, location undisclosed, for a
long period. Mr.. Blair also asserted
he had been dressed as girl during

Nicholas Roosevelt
In Town Hall Debate

Nicholas Roosevelt, journalist and
former member of the diplomatic
corps, and DR.. William Yandell FL
lott, chairman of the department
of government at Harvard, will be
featured in a Town Hall debate at
the Shoreham tonight on Should
the Government Assume the Role
of Senior Partner in Business?"
Mr.. Roosevelt, for years an edito-
rial writer for the New York Times.
is at present on the staff of the
New York Herald Tribune. Ap-
pointed by President Hoover as Vice
Governor of the Philippines, he later
became United States Minister in
Hungary.
DR.. Elliott is a member of the

trative Management and the Busi-
ness Advisory Council of the Com
merce Department. He formerly
taught at Vanderbilt University and
the University of California.

and James went to work on his
premier achievement.
The youth likes football and base
ball but he's had no time for it. He
spent his lunch hour, his study hour
and all his after-school time work.
ing on the bed, the bureau, the mir
ror, the chest of drawers and small
lamps to match the suite. He worked
for more than a year at his self
appointed job while the other youths
spent their time In the woodshop on
less spectacular efforts.
The suite, shellacked and warm
ished and set up in his bedroom, was
finished just a few days before he
was graduated from Mckinley Fri
day night.
Made Own Drawings.
The furniture is modern but not
highly polished. James made his
own drawings for it from patterns
he saw in furniture stores.
Though his workshop classes are
finished, James is going on with his
work. He has orders for several
cedar chests and odd little lamps.
James wants to fashion furni-
ture-to be a craftsman with wood.
The bedroom suite and all the other
pieces that fill the Schaeffer home
at 412 Douglas street NE. are just
the beginning, James said, Of a
career born in the Emery School
Woodshop.
Evening star., 1939-02-05

If Emery School hadn't had wood
shop classes, the year James H.
Schaeffer attended, there probably
wouldn't be a brand-new maple bed
room suite in the Schaeffer home
today.
The school dropped woodshop
after one year, but James, who is
now 10, had had enough carpentry
to get interested. Since then life
has been one piece of wood after
another to James.
He began modestly enough by
making small ironing board to
press the sleeves in a mans coat.
That was at Emery. By the time
the youth had graduated from Lang
ley Junior High, he had added to
his collection shoe shine stand, a
telephone stand and chair, floor
lamp and an intricately carved
table lamp.
A sewing cabinet went into Mrs.
Schaeffer's bedroom before James
had been at Mckinley High School
six months. There was new cedar
chest and then an upholstered chair
for the living room by the end of the
second year.
Timber Donated by Friend.
Then James decided he needed a
new bedroom suite. A friend in
West Virginia donated the timber,
his uncle brought it to Washington

Corporation CounseI's
Duties Taken by Huzen

Commissioner Melvin G. HaZen
has taken over formal supervision
of the corporations counsel's office,
in view of the continued delay in
the appointment of a new Commis-
sioner to succeed George E. Allen,
who resigned September l to re-
turn to private business.
Mr.. Hazen has given informal
supervision to virtually all district
departments, except the engineering
units under Col. David McCoach,
the Engineer Commissioner. He al
ways has had a desire to supervise
the corporation counsel's office, how
ever, and the shift was approved
recently. This department in former
years was under the Commissioner
supervising the Police Department,
because of the interrelation of the
work of the two.

childhood. He said he was later
named Nelson Miller.
Neither Mr.. Blair nor his attor-
neys would disclose the nature of
the proof they will offer to estab-
lish the identity. Many other
claimants through the years have
been unsuccessful in attempting to
prove they were Charles Ross.
The Ross boy and his 7-year -old
brother Walter were kidnapped from
the grounds of their home at Ger
mantown, Pa. Two kidnapers re-
leased Walter, but demanded $40, 1000
for the return of Charles. The
father agreed, but the boy never was
returned.

ALTOONA, Pa, Feb. (P).-A life
long resident of Hollidaysburg is

international Labor Organization
Visioned by Gompers

Many of those who recite the advantages
which working men and women throughout
the world nave gained due to the activities
of the International Labor Organization Of
the League of Nations are unmindful of the
fact the necessity for such a group to promote
better worldwide economic conditions for
the workers was visioned by the late Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor with the exception of one year
from its establishment until his death in 1924,
many years before the l. L. o. was set up
by the Versailles Peace Treaty.
This foresight of Mr.. Gompers was fittingly
recalled by James Wilson, former president
of the Pattern Makers League Of America
Montana labor news., 1939-11-16

and vice president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, now labor adviser of the Inter
national Labor Organization, in an address
before the annual convention of the A. F. of
L. at Cincinnati on the activities of the /. L. 0.
"The older delegates to this convention"
Mr.. Wilson said, will recall that at the 1914
convention of the American Federation of
Labor in Philadelphia that Samuel Gompers
introduced the resolution into that conven-
ton which gave birth to the international
Labor Organization. The organization was
born as a result of the World War from the
vision of Gompers, who wanted to see estab-
lished some fundamentally that would seek
to raise the standard of life of the working
people throughout the world.
"This international Labor Organization
has now functioned for twenty years. 1t has
brought many benefits into the lives of mil
lions of people throughout the world. As its
preamble states, it seeks to establish social
Justice and recognizes the fundamental truth
that world peace can only be maintained by
the establishment of social justice. There
is nothing that the international Labor Or
ganization does that is not in accord with
the high ideals and great principles of the
American Federation of Labor.
"At a time when the dictators are threat
ening to destroy freedom and democracy in
the world, we as trade unionists, know that
the trade unions are the bulwarks Of both
freedom and democracy. For under dictator
ships trade unions are suppressed and with
it all forms of civil liberties. The one great
force that can prevent the destruction of the
organizations of labor is labor itself"

NEW IDEAS for an old time
THANKSGIVING DINNER
BY Dorothy Greig

NORTH, south, east and west,
~ millions OF us eat turkey on
Thanksgiving. But right there our
RECOMMENDATION ends. What is served
before the turkey, with the turkey,
and following the turkey varies
from family to family.
1t is fun, too, to vary our Thanks
giving dinner a little from year to
year as we learn of new ways to-
make Of II an even more glorious
feast.
For instance, this Thanksgiving
menu has several new favor notes:

work on the outside and new con-
struction be recognized as the work
of craft unions having jurisdiction.
1t was pointed out in this report
that this action does not remove the
Home Oil Company from the I'M
fair list and further that the Home
Oil committee be continued.
This report was adopted contin-
gent upon acceptance by the Great
Falls Smeltermen's Union.

List at Billings
Special committee appointed to
investigate the controversy wherein
certain members of the Great Falls
football team went through the
picket line in Missoula reported that
they had met with Coach Hodges
and that they anticipated meeting
with the boys some time after the
football season was over.
They further reported that Coach
Hodges was DESTROYS of having a
list of all unfair hotels and restau-
rants in Billings. This matter was
referred to the secretary and the
committee to get the desired in
formation and present it to MI.
Hodges.
