FEDERAL CHARGES IN CHICAGO COURT Al Capone, An Alderman and Alleged Business ‘Leaders Among 24 Accused Chicago, July 27—(7)—A blanket indictment charging Al Capone, Dr. Benjamin M. Squires, Aaron Sapiro and 21 other defendants on conspir- acy charges including bombings, win- dow-smashings and restraint of trade was returned by the county grand jury Thursday. The indictment was regarded as the state's first frontal attack on racket- etring and the violence it has brought into legislative industries in Chicago. Alderman O. F. Nelson of Chicago Was among those indicted. Dr. Squires formerly was arbiter of the cleaning and dyeing industry here and now is engaged in similar work in the Pennsylvania hosiery trade. Sapiro was one of the prime leaders of the early cooperative marketing movement in the United States. A year ago he came to Chicago to act as counsel for the Laundry Owners asso- ciation, which he quit last June 2 up- on demand of the state’s attorney. Capone, the deposed gang leader now in Atlanta federal prison for tax dodging, once was the acknowledged Tuler of the outlaw rackets in Chicago. One of those named in the indict- ment Thursday was his reputed suc- cessor to the gangland throne, Murray Humphries. He is “Public Enemy No. 1” since Capone ‘Retired’ and now is fugitive from a federal warrant charging evasion of income taxes. The indictment contained 23 counts against each of the 24 defendants. ‘The charges were conspiracy to boy- Cott, conspiracy in restraint of trade, conspiracy to commit malicious mis- chief by bombing, dynamiting, acid throwing, destruction of machinery and windows, May Bring Capone Back State's Attorney Thomas J. ney announced he would make a strenuous effort to bring Capone back from the federal prison at Atlanta for trial. Alderman Nelson, Republican lead- er of the city council, figured promi- nently as @ candidate for mayor after the assassination of Anton Cermak. He was named presumably because of his position as attorney for the Dye House Drivers union. Squires became dictator of the cleaning industry in 1931, attempting to bring order out of the chaos and strife then existing, characterized by violence and price-cutting. He is a lecturer on economics at the Univer- sity of Chicago. Sapiro earned fame as the organ- izer of the fruit cooperatives in Cali- fornia, and since has been a promo- ter of “dairy cooperatives in Wisconsin and other fields, helping form mar- keting associations in 17 states for cotton, potatoes, wheat, and a half dozen other farm products. He urged cooperative marketing on northern Minnesota potato growers 10 years ago. eat) An attack upon Sapiro in Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independent was answered with a million dollar libel suit against the automobile maker and Sapiro obtained a settlement out of court which included Ford’s apolo- gies. Later he became president of the Independent Motion Picture Ex- hibitors, Inc. Dr. Squires is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. He has been called upon several times to aid in settling labor disputes and helped reorganize the Illinois state free em- ployment service for the state legis- Jature, MRS. E. MATTHAS OF BEULAH DIES IN CITY Had Been Unconscious From Apoplectic Stroke For Nearly a Week Mrs. Emanuel Matthas, 65-year-old Beulah woman, died in a local hos- Pital at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening. Her death was caused by an apop- lectic stroke, from which she had suf- fered six days. She was stricken last Friday morning after watering the garden and eating breakfast at her home in Beulah. She was brought here the same day and had been unconscious since. Mrs. Matthas, who came directly to Mercer county from the old country 30 years ago, was born in South Rus- sia, Nov. 11, 1867, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christof Mueller.

Olson went into district court as his own attorney Thursday to charge that “certain chain banks, certain investment houses and certain mining companies” had conspired and instigated an action to block the re- funding of $8,000,000 in state rural credit bureau bonds. Appearing in shirt sleeves the gov- ernor, one of nine defendants, filed @ separate answer to a suit brought by State Senator A. J. Rockne. Rockne seeks a permanent injunction to halt sale of the bonds. Olson is a Farmer-Laborite and Rockne a Republican. They have en- gaged in many political controversies. Attorney General H. H. Peterson, in an answer filed for some of the de- fendants, charged Rockne had poli- tical motives in bringing the suit. Four others, all Republicans, declined to subscribe to that allegation. All the defendants are state officials. COAL MEN PROPOSE SO-CENT MINIMUM FOR NORTH DAKOTA Code Offered to Recovery Ad- ministration Provides For 40-Hour Week Washington, July 27.—(®)—A pro- posed code for retail coal merchants, providing for a 40-hour week and a varying scale of pay for various dis- tricts was presented Thursday to the national recovery administration by the Coal Merchants association. The proposed code, signed by A. B. Horner, president of the association, was described as representative of 40 per cent of the coal merchants and 75 per cent of the total volume of solid fuels distributed at retail. It provided for an average 40-hour ‘week to be figured on a basis of each six month's work, with the exception that the limit might be exceeded “for the purpose of relieving distress or Protecting property in emergencies arising out of an act of God.” The provisions would not apply to the executive and supervisory staff, salesmen, engineers, firemen, watch- men, yard managers and weighers, nor skilled office employes receiving about $35 per week. ‘The scale of minimum wages per hour provided for the various sections included: Delaware, part of Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, I daho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, ‘Washington and Wyoming, 35 cents. LOCAL CREAMERIES APPROVE OWN CODE Adopt Agreement Which cludes Plan to Fix Mini- mum Butter Prices In- St. Paul, July 27—(#)—Sixty repre- sentatives of the butter industry in six states, who a week ago founded the National Association of Local Creameries, Thursday approved a code for their industry under the National Industrial Recovery Act. W. A. Gordon, editor of the Dairy Record, published here, presided at the meeting. He asserted that the organization meeting Thursday, rep- resenting for the most part the unor- ganized creameries of Farmers Co- operatives and small privately-owned creameries, manufactures more than half the butter produced in the United States. States represented at the meeting include _Minneasota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa. The code approved, Gordon ex- Plained, calls for, if necessary, an assessment on the creameries to create a fund to remove surplus but- ter from the market when the price falls to a low level. A committee will be named, he said, to decide when the Price is “too low” and that this com- mittee will include representatives of the consumer. Gordon explained that a code pre- | sented nearly a month ago to the in- dustry by the American Association of Creamery butter manufacturers; which acted in cooperation with the National Cooperative Milk Producers federation, was “unacceptable” to the group which adopted the new code at Thursday's meeting. Mandan Man Named On Code Committee! H. 8. Russell, general manager of the Mandan Creamery and Produce company, has béen named North Da- kota representative to a conference of the National Butter, Egg and Poultry association to be held at Chicago this week-end.

July 27.—(?)—Mayor William J. Swoboda was held in the county jail here Thursday for ar- raignment on charges of receiving a bribe of ‘$3,000 and conspiring to bribe Chief of Police Grover C. Lutter in connection with an alleged attempt to protect gambling here. The mayor was arrested at his home, jailed overnight, and freed on $1,000 bond Thursday. In a statement the mayor charged tha’ “certain individuals and interests “expose the whole gang.” James Bettinius was under arrest in Cicero, Ill, awaiting extradition to Racine to face charges of offering the bribe. A warrant also was issued for Oli- ver Vardy, former secretary to the mayor, accused of being an accessory to bribery. District Attorney John A. Brown said this warrant would not be served, as Vardy is held in Milwaukee on a holdup charge, The warrant naming Bettinius al- leges that on January 7, 1932, he paid $3,000 to Swoboda in an attempt to gain control of gambling in Racine. The complaints were signed at the conclusion of a John Doe investiga- tion into alleged racketeering in city offices. Swoboda said at a previous hearing he recived $3,000 from Bettinius, through Vardy, but considered the money a loan. He cited police records showing a gambling cleanup was or- dered immediately. As a result of the accusation, Swo- boda was ousted from the Socialist party, about a year ago.
