|RISINCS, SLOAN
AREBOUND OVER

A Superior court jury is going
to have to decide whether or not
the card-in-the hole featured in a
pre-C Christmas poker party was a
six or a seven, whether or not
the whole controversy about il
was worth a fight, and finally
whether the upshot of the affair
was a robbery.
This was the decision of Re
corder H. Winfield Smith Thurs
day morning, who ordered that
Robert and Bill Rising and Emory
Sloan, all of whom have court rec
ords behind them, to be held un-
der $3.50 bond for appearance at
the Superior court term beginning
January IL. The charge is assault
and robbery.
It all started when Edward A..
Hamilton, Baltimore steamfitter,
and his wife, holiday visitors to
the city, wanted a little drink last
Thursday night and took the Rising
brothers and Sloan up on an offer
to join them in a room upstairs
over a Dock street establishment.
1.-TWO glasses of beer" led to the
poker game, in which the four
men were participants. FIRST, there
was trouble over an ace that was
reported to have turned up sud-
denly. Then there was the pro-
position of the skies and sevens.
Hamilton told the court he had
two SKIES showing; that Sloan
showed two aces. Hamilton said
on the strength of a third six he
tossed down $500. That when he
attempted to claim his haul, he
was rewarded with painful
punches. Then his wife was knock
ed down, and the billfold she was
holding taken from her.
But the Risings said Hamilton
had no third six. That he raked. in
the booty before convincing the
others he had won the hand. That
when finally approached he pro-
duced six from somewhere. Bill
Rising said mild contention en-
sued and that Himilton hit him
severely in the mouth. They de-
MED hitting Mrs. Hamilton and
taking her purse.
A shipyard worker named Phil
lips, in bed over in the corner,
watched the proceedings from
sleepy eyes. He pinned guilt on
none of them.
"The whole thing bore the ear
marks of a conspiracy to get the
Hamiltons upstairs and into that
hot poker game" observed the
lawyer for the unlucky visiting
couple.
Judge Smith remarked that all
the partygoers in the case deserv-
ed to look at penitentiary walls
for a while, since they all knew
they were breaking the law by in
dulging in the game.
The Hamiltons were recognized
for their court appearance.
1t was brought out in the hear
ing that Robert Rising is now out
on $500 bond, pending the higher
courts decision as to whether he
was guilty of promoting the rob-
berry OF the Coca-Cola plant here
number Of months ago. Convic-
ton would net him a seven or
eight years pen sentence.

NEA Staff COrreSnOndent

New York, May 3 Unless you
are well acquainted with John
Llewellyn Lewis you probably think
of him in one of two ways.
If you are viSual-minded, he is
the big burly guy with bushy
eyebrows, leonine name of
grazing hair and a grim, steel
trap mouth over a bellicosely jut-
ting jaw.
If you think in terms of action,
he is the roughneck radical union
eer who has led two VIGOROUSLY
bloody strikes, defied two strong
presidents of the United States,
and inSulted everybody who has
crossed his path, however, power
full with a wealth Of investives
that makes Harold Ickes seem
tongue-tied.
In either event, you are inter-
ested in Lewis today because he
has locked horns with President
Roosevelt in the midst of about
war, at a time when a strike in
the coal mines might mean the
difference between winning this
war next spring or having to fight
until 1945 or '46 or At
LONG LED MINERS
Who and what, really, is John
L. Lewis and how did he get
that way?
From the standpoint of results,
Lewis Is the biggest labor leader
since the late Sam Gompers. I'm
like most labor leaders, he is not
the product of unionism, fronting
for supporting cast that made
him and can break him. He is him
self the incarnate spirit of bellig-
erent collective bargaining.
For one year less than a quar-
ter Of a century, he has been boss
Of the United Mine Workers. In
that period he challenged Com
pers for presidency of the A. F. of
l.. and lost; climbed up to q vice.
presidency; stepped out with mil
lion members, formed the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization and
ran it up to four millions. Then he
took his mine workers out of the CLIO
and began a bitter war, whose out
come is anybody's guess, to create
third union setup designed to
overshadow both A. F. of L. and
CLIO.
When John Lewis was two
year-old, his Welsh immigrant
father was blacklisted by every
mine in the United States for his

the blacklist was destroyed, Thomas
Lewis and his family toured
the country while the father earned
a living at any work he could get.
When John was II, his father
went back into a coal mine at
Lucas, ILL.,, and took the boy with
him. Thenceforward John was
miner. He dug coal, copper and
gold in Illinois, Colorado, Mon
tana and Wyoming. Eventually,
at 27, he married a schoolteacher
and settled in Panama, Ill. 1t
took him only one year to become
state legislative agent for the Uni
ted Mine Workers, and four years
to beat the union mead on an i'm

indicted under a wartime Fed
raj law, but he won big pay
raise for his followers and the in
dictment was quashed.
He led the coal strike of 1922,
which was featured by the Her
rim massacre in which % nom
strikers and strikebreakers we're
murdered, some in cold blood. He
led bloody unionization wars in
West Virginia and Kentucky two
years later. There was gunfight-
ing at the Battle of Little Muddy
River in 1882 when the Illinois
district tried to unseat Lewis as
president Of the UNIV. The fight

Committee with Little Steel in
1887 eliminating in the Memorial
Day massacre in South Chicago.
The Blue Eagle was what
made" John L. Lewis. In 1888,
Notwithstanding everything he
could do his union was on its last
legs, with membership gone to
pot and treasury almost empty.
Lewis, alone among labor lead
ers for the moment, saw the pos
sibilities of Section Ca of the
National Recovery Act. He gam
bled the UMW's last pennies on
an organization drive which,
within few months, pulled
membership up from 100000 TO
100000 and eventually added an
other 100000.

When the A. F.. of L. was slow
about organizing mass produce
ton on an industry-wide basis,
Lewis pulled out and, backed by
the miners now opulent treasury
started organizing in other fields,
notably steel and automobiles.
His break from the CLIO came
in 1910 after labor, against Lewis
wishes, had supported President
Roosevelt for his third term. The
great John L. kept a prediction
promise and resigned the presi-
dency. He was careful to put his
friend and faithful lieutenant,
Philip Murray, in his place. He
supposed that Murray would be
president and Lewis would re-
main boss.
But Murray didn' get the
point, and began running the
CLIO. That was when Lewis walk
ed out, with his faithful miners,
became a lone wolf, established

gan trying to build up a third

CEILING PRICE
ON BEEF May II
UnOrthOdOx Methods Oh
Cutting to Be Eliminated
By OPA Regulations

The results of the OPA regulation
standardizing wholesale cuts OF beef
will show up clearly in all retail
meat stores in Connecticut on MAJ
II, when new ts-per-pound cell
ing prices on beef become effective
the State OPA pointed out today.
when we began to prescribe u
wholesalers and packers specific
methods of breaking up a beef car
cass," an OPA rationing official saio
I'VE we're occasionally criticized foJ
tying up the meat industry in gov
ernmental red tape
The aim of the regulation. he ex-
planned. was "direct and toWfold,"
first. to eliminate unorthodox
methods of cutting beef, and sec
ond, to standardize all wholesale
cuts in order to simplify the estab-
blishment Of point values for ra-
tioning purposes.
Unorthodox cutting, the official
said, was begun by a few whole
salers for the express purpose OF
lodging price ceilings. Known to
the trade as "upgrading," the prac-
tice consisted of cutting up a car
cass so that a low-priced cut was
attached to higher priced cut, the
whole section being sold at the CELL
ing price for the better cut. This
enabled the INSCRIPTIONS whole
saler to pay above-ceiling prices for
his meat, shutting out the honest
dealer
Concerning Standardization, the
official said, "Unless we had ruled
out all but standard cuts of meat,
the retail store would have found
it impossible to sell meat under
rationing with any certainty that he
was obtaining the correct number OF
points in return. Also the customer
would never know whether he was
being overcharged in points or not"
After May II, OPA price charts
specifying the various cuts, will be
posted In every store.
