Living in Chicago for several
months now, Bailey's wife and a.
year-old son are with him. A
second youngster is expected in
the family.
Bailey's petition to the Chicago
court which heard his case tells
story of frame-up, intimidation,
draft evasion, and railroaded Gus

The story began in 1889 when
he went to work for w. L. Year
wood, an Influential resident of
Fayetteville, T ennes ee. With
Yearwood's permission, Bailey
regularly used an automobile be-
longing to his employer.
One day, in 1914, he took the
car to visit his mother in-law and,
contrary to his usual practice,
stayed overnight.
Returning the next day, he found
that Yearwood had taken out
warrant charging him with steal

manded weeks pay ($7.50D for
using the car. Bailey objected to
the amount.
Yearwood threatened to have
the warrant enforced. Bailey re-
sponded by threatening to tell the
local draft board that he wasn't
doing deferrable farm work, as
Yearwood had reported to keep his
employee from being drafted.
Thereupon, Bailey was arrested
threatened with lynching if he
didn't confess stealing the auto.
Refusing to confess, he was in

nor witnesses in his behalf were
permitted to testify.
Though he had no previous
record, Bailey received the heavy
sentence of to 10 years. He
served % months before his es-
cape.

When Mrs. Glenn argued that

ter, DR.. Galloway said members Of

who were polled by the subcommit-
tee, were of the opinion that the
manager form of government
has. eclipsed all other forms of city
government.
In answer to a question by Mrs.
Munroe Burk, Mr.. Pierce said that
the Hatch Act would not prevent
Federal employees from running for
office in the municipal government.
"A definite ruling has not been
requested, due to the fact that the
District government recommenda-
ton is nonpartisan and therefore
would not be a violation of the act.
1t is also the intention of the sub
committee to make possible the
participation of all Federal en-
ployes in the proposed government"
