white, and formerly identified with
the Capone mobsters. However, it
is said that Kelly had had a peace
full relationship with Harry Nc
Lean, who organized the white
bartenders, and whom Kelly had
sold the idea of organizing the col
ored bartenders, walters and cooks
in the many Negro taverns and
cafes dotting the colored business
and residential districts. Shortly
thereafter both Kelly and Mclean
found themselves surrounded by
demands for control and revenue
from the ex-Capone hoodlums. They
finally ousted Mclean, took over
his union and frightened him with
threats until he died suddenly under
the pressure. Then the hoodlums
marched in and took full sway,
keeping control until finally ousted
by court order through a reforma-
ton in labor circles.
Kelly, however, maintained con-
troll of his local and grew in
strength as the gangster influence
faded somewhat into the back
ground, finally disappearing alto
gether between mysterious gangster
murders and a more vigorous att
tude of honest union officials to
drive out labor racketeers.
In the course of his oranizing,
he encountered many obstacles,
within his organization as well as
without. Many are the brushes that
he had with the law while his
union pickets marched in front of
business houses. Many accused him
of employing strong-arm methods
in forcing business men to accede
to his union demands. However, he
always emerged victorious.
He was not unmindful of his
political influence, gained through
his ability to organize the working
class. Politicians sought his en-
dorsements, and in turn, Kelly de-
manded full acknowledgment for
any such favors granted, for the
conduct of his erring members kept
him constantly beating a trail to
police stations and courts Of law
to free them, or tighten the punish
ment.
Rumors are still current that in
addition to Kelly's political connec-
tons, he had to contend with pay
ing some monthly stipends to white
labor racketeers who had helped
him in the early days. Ofttimes
the names of such characters as
Morrie Gordon, well-known in
labor circles, Murray HUMPHREYS,
equally as prominent, and "Gof-
Bag" Sam Hunt, notorious gunman,
were mentioned as the real "Big
Three" behind Kelly's union.
Kelly came to Chicago in 1918
from st. Louis, Mo-, where he had
been a waiter in the Falstaf club.
He became acquainted with most
of the underworld characters of
that day and was well-known
thereafter as a sport and gambler.
He had a few tits involving fists
and gun-play during the course of
sporting sprees.
He was born in Florence, Ala,
March l, 1893 and was 81 years old.
Surviving him are his mother, Mrs.
Hattie Kelly; wife, Mrs. Marie
Kelly; and adopted son, Pvt. Robert
Kelly, stationed at Camp Lee, Va;
and eight sisters, Mrs. Bell Richard
son, Mrs. Mary Johnson, Mrs. Pearl
Strother, Mrs. Josie Morgan, Mrs.
Hattie Turner, all of st. Louis, Mo-,
and Mrs. Marie Gibson and Miss
Ophelia Kelly of Chicago. Two
brothers, Douglas Kelly and
Thomas Kelly.

Mrs. McCauley suggested that hos

i forces and thousands of younger men and women. The same reports of heavy voting came from other population centers across the country such as Kansas City, Omaha, Des Moines, Okla homa City, St. Louis, Detroit, and Louisville.
 Similar brisk voting was reported in Chicago. In Ohio, the rural turnout was escribed as the heaviest in history.
 Night Workers Vote
 War plant workers, coming off the early morning graveyard" shift piled up heavy vote early in Los Angeles. In one precinct there 1912 per cent of the vote was cast in the first 20 minutes.
 Weather was favorable, generally, but even where it was not, there was no stopping voters. Salt Lake City reported "heavy rain, heavy vote"
 In The South
 Even the heavily Democratic Deep South, where voting in the Presidential elections is often light, reported an unusually heavy turn out in Miami, Atlanta, Birmingham and elsewhere.
 Baltimore and Norfolk, big war centers, also recorded heavy votes.
 Eleventh Hour Messages
 Dewey and Roosevelt, in eleventh hour messages to the country, agreed that no matter who wins the Presidency it is supremely im- portant to a Democracy at war to pile up huge vote. Thus the campaign ended with peace and victory calls on both sides. There is quiet fadeout of the more ex- treme accusations tossed back and forth. Americas big show comes every four years and at the end there is not even any continuance of the bitter political argument over the fact that the CIO Politi- cal Action Committee fought for a fourth term.
