J M m4 Pe 2 (-MEN PURSUE TWO ACE BANK ROBBERS AS PUBLIC ENEMIES Kidnaping for Profit, Karpis Kind, on Decline, Hoover Declares Washington, July 28.—(7)—Federal agents quietly pursued two top-flight “public enemies” Tuesday as they re- ceived the congratulations of associ- ates on the guilty plea of Alvin Kar- pis, last of the “big money” kid- napers. ‘The two—candidates for the role of “public enemy number one” aban- oned by Karpis when he was sen- tenced Monday to life in prison for the abduction of William Hamm, Jr., St. Paul brewer—are described by J. Edgar Hoover as a “notorious bank robber’ and a new kind of kid- naper. Kidnaping for profit—the Karpis kind—tis on the decline, according to Hoover, director of the federal bu- reau of investigation. All the “big money” kidnapers have been arrested, or killed. But federal agents are concentrating now on another type of kidnaper, who seizes police officers or spectators as a shield for his flight after committing some other crime. ‘They say Joseph Hanley is.such a man. Beside two kidnaping indict- ments, Hanley faces charges of vio- lating the national motor vehicle theft act and the federal escape act. The 32-year-old Sioux City, Iowa, fugitive started his crime career at “a very early age,” according to Hoo- ver, and has served terms in Iowa and Minnesota prisons for robbery and larceny. Hanley escaped from the Sioux City jail on Aug. 5, 1935, and has ‘been a fugitive since. Like Hanley, Maurice (“Blondie”) Denning is alleged to have played the kidnap game in his robberies. Den- ning, who.ranks with Hanley at the top of the government's “wanted” list, is under indictment for five na- tional bank robberies in the midwest, has been “identified” in three state bank robberies and is “suspected of participating in five other assaults on. banks,” according to Hoover. ROOSEVELT'S OCEAN VACATION NEARS END Side Whiskers Make Him Look Like Father; to Visit Can- ada Thursday L'Etang Island, N. B., July 28.—(®) —President Roosevelt, sporting a growth of side whiskers, loafed aboard the schooner Sewanna off this little New Brunswick isle Tuesday, his sea. vacation virtually at. an. end. He was uncertain whether to land late in the day at Campobello or wait until Wednesday. Thursday he leaves for Quebec to visit Lord Tweedsmuir, Canada’s governor general. The president and his sons sailed into the harbor late Monday after a three hour run from Campobello island, where he and his mother have large cottages overlooking Passama- quoddy bay. Instead of debarking at Campo- bello, goal of his two weeks’ vacation cruise from Pulpit Harbor, Me., the chief executive merely stopped in Welchpool harbor for luncheon with his wife and friends. Mrs. Roosevelt was greatly sur- prised by the president's whiskers, which many said made him resemble his late father, James Roosevelt, The president will leave Thursday by boat for St. Andrews, N. B., 16 miles away, and board a special train for Quebec.

This seems at the moment to be the consensus among labor leaders, but it is also the growing conviction ot those who feel that the balance of power in the present campaign is held by the independent vote. It is not that the independent vot- ers are so much concerned with the details of labor welfare, but they are anxious to know if Governor Landon is so absorbed in the employer view- Point that he will not, if elected, champion the rightful causes of the employe. The labor controversy, in other words, affords an opportunity for Governor Landon to reveal his progressivism, to show that his heart is with the common man nothwith- standing the repudiation which the New Deal strategists try to give the Republicans as being allies of the Liberty league and the so-called priv- ileged class, Mr. Landon’s treatment of the labor problem in his speech last week was necessarily brief, as was his dis- cussion of other topics. But never- theless there was much that was lack- ing if the candidate insists on confin- ing himself to the few brief state- ments of the Republican platform without amplifying them in any way. The -heart of the labor controversy is collective bargaining. The Repub- ican platform says labor shall have the right to organize and select spokesmen of its own choosing “with- out coercion from any source.” This very phrase was first used by Presi- dent Roosevelt in signing the auto- mobile code in 1934, so it is a bit puz- zling to see the New Deal national committee charging the authorship of the phrase to the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers. But regardless of origin, the mean- ing of that phrase is important and labor wants to know more from Gov- ernor Landon as to how he interprets it. The Republican nominee, in his speech of acceptance, said he thought that no coercion from any source \ PROPOSED FOR N. D.

On the North Dakota side of the border one case was reported from Rolette county on July 13, this being the only occurrence of the disease in this state this year. Dr. Williams said it would be well for parents to isolate children who develop fevers during August until the nature of their ailment has been determined.

Beckley of Borqulac finds that watering pays big dividends during the dry years, He started his system three years ago, he reported to A. F. Yeager, horticul- turist of the North Dakota i. tural college. A natural slope not far from the well was picked out as the plot to ir- rigate, Mr. Beckley sald.

This activity also will New Orleans Facing Short Milk Supplies NEW GAME REFUGES | = PARGO Promptly union labor spokesmen declared that this interpretation could mean that an outside organizer who was not employed in a plant or industry could be restrained from ordinary membership work done in the process of getting workers or- ganized into unions. If Governor Lan- don did not mean such a thing, he has an opportunity in future speeches to clarify what he did mean. The crux of the labor controversy is that there are two kinds of work- ing men’s organizations in America, irrespective of whether the unit is the p‘ant or the craft or the industry. The ts kinds are those that are not in any way influenced by employers and those that may or may not be under employer influence but which are in- dependent of national unions, confin- ing their activities to the plants or factories where the men are employed. Mr. Landon says frankly that work- ers should have the right to belong to any type of union they choose. This is broad democracy. But when he says they should be able to choose their representatives “without coer- cion from any source,” the question arises as to when “coercion” is mere persuasion, unwelcome to minority factions, and when it is intimidation and simple violence. The national labor relations act provides a penalty only for coercion practiced by employers against em- ployes who wish to join a union. There is no provision which protects the workingman against the strong arm tactics of some union organizers. Senator Wagner, author of the labor relations act ,and New Dealers gen- erally, pooh-pooh such fears, saying it is a myth invented by employers, yet every strike and every labor dis- pute reveals clearly that workingmen who refuse to join a union are sub- jected to humiliation and threats that amount to coercion in repeated in- stances. To the outcry that some protection of the law must be given, the answer usually made is that state lew and city ordinances already take care of it. ia i A Ta | Celebrates Fifth Birthday Smoking Paterson, N. J. July 26.— Charles (Mickey), Norman, 3rd, ushered in his fifth birthday Tuesday with a man-sized puff of cigar smoke. It didn’t look as if there would be much of a party, but Mickey didn’t care. He took solace in the weed. A trip to a movie had been half- as a birthday treat, and Mickey ‘was hoping he could sit upstairs where smoking is allowed. He has smoked since he was 14 months old. Mickey has developed a remark- able talent as a detective, his father said. He can trace hidden cigars. If the father hides his cigars in ® box on a shelf and says he has none when the boy asks for one, Mickey replies: “Oh, yes. I know you've got some up there in that box.” Except for the measles, Mickey has never been sick, his father said. Colds are entirely strange MAN FACING SHOOTING CHARGES and Second Man in Beer Joint Affray Recovering the woman, Mrs, Edna War- BSS Be cfr, z ERs shoot- | Liner In all probability, the national labor relations act, because it is arbitrary 2nd one-sided, will be declared un- |constitutional. But this will not dis- beow of the question of collective bar- gaining. Governor Landon is today not merely the spokesman of the party in a national senge, but he speaks, as a general thing, for state tickets. Hence, what he says about the maintenance of the rights of col- lective bargaining affects the labor vote all along the line. Labor is entitled to a clear-cut dec- laration from a Republican nominee which assures labor a right to or- ganize, a right to use organizers, whether or not they are employes of a given plant, provided these organ- izers use lawful methods. Likewise, employers are entitled to freedom of action, freedom to talk frankly to their employes about disadvantages, as they see it, of plant or craft or in- dustrial type of unions. This is free- dom of speech—as essential in econ- omic democracy as in political democ- racy. The usual comment made on this by some labor spokesmen is that unionization is none of the employers’ business, forgetting, course, that, when labor organizations get into the hands of unscrupulous leaders and unnecessary strikes are called, it becomes very much the business of the employer, for he is responsible not only for the payrolls but for the safety of the savings of those who have invested in his man- agement and in his capacity to meet the views of the buyer as to ultimate price. If the employer were a free agent and could fix any price he pleased and get it from the consumer, he would not worry much about col- lective bargaining or unionization. Mr. Landon’s views on labor are important because they will give a cue to his progressivism. If he ven- tures to show union labor that he means to protect it in its right to organize, in its right to strike, in its right to pursue every lawful means to get higher wages, he will remove that issue from the campaign, be- cause, on these points, Mr. Roosevelt has already won a widespread sup- port among laboring men. MANITOBA LIBERAL POWER IS REDUCED Conservatives and Social Cred- it Candidates Win Par- liament Seats Winnipeg, July 28.—(#)—Reduced majorities and loss of seven seats to conservatives and social credit can- Gidates cut into the power of the Liberal-Progressive government Tues- day in Manitoba's general elections. ‘The social credit candidates, mak- ing their first bid in the province, won three seats from the government of Premier John Bracken and the conservatives won four. With the outcome still in doubt, there was a possibility no party would have a majority. Twenty-seven seats of the 53 to be decided by Mon- day’s voting were still doubtful. The Liberal-Progressive it had elected 15 members, Conservatives 7, Social Credit 3, and Independent 1. Because a clear majority must be obtained by a winning candidate, second counts will be necessary in sbout 20 constituencies. 36 Are Charged With Game Law Violation Thirty six persons were arrested and 35 convicted on charges of vio- lating the state game laws from May 15 to July 7, according to a compila- tion by the state game and fish de- partment.

Agents of the state liquor comm! sion, after two weeks of trying to fig- ure out the disparity between the amount of liquor coming into town and the amount distributed through ordinary sources found the answ Tuesday. Mi In a drug store they seized several topers as “A Sheep, Bs Horse,” “A Dog,” and “A Goat.” The Spaces on the prescriptions for reason of issue were blank, the agents said. Typical among the seized prescrip- tions were these: “A Sheep. Three quarts of wine.” “A Swine. Two quarts of Scotch.” “A Horse. Two quarts of sloe gin.” Agents said that under Minnesota law a veterinarian may issue liquor Prescriptions, and that they weren’t sure just how the case of the boozing livestock stood from a legal point of view. So they wrapped the prescrip- tions into a bundle and sent them to. David Arundel, state liquor commis- sioner, to puzzle over.

Modern Jean Valjean Cleveland, July 28.—(#)—From Ohio's governor came new hope Tues- day for a modern Jean Valjean, 41- year-old Carlton B. Chilton, that he might not be returned to Oklahoma te complete a two-year reformatory sentence for a bank burglary more than years ago. “The state af Oklahoma will have to present a very strong case before I'll consent to the filing of extradition papers on Chilton, whose record in the past years Cleveland police have found to be of the best,” said Gov. Martin L. Davey, at Columbus. ‘The governor's statement followed one from Deputy Warden L. V. War- liek of the state reformatory at Gran- ite, Okla, that if Cleveland officials “don’t turn Chilton over to us,” we'll ask Governor Marland to requisition the governor of Ohio.” ‘The modern Valjean from the reformatory in 1918 after serving one year of his sentence.

Petitions for seven sewer mains in the eastern part of the city were re- ceived. They were referred to Myron Atkinson, city auditor, for an investi- gation of the condition of taxes on the property affected. The petitions requested sewers on Rosser Ave. from Sixteenth to Twen- tieth Sts.; on Seventeenth St. from Rosser to Avenue C; on Nineteenth St. from Rosser to Broadway Aves.; on Twentieth St. from Rosser to Ave- nue C; on Avenue C from Twentieth St. to Twenty-First 8t.; on Twenty- First St. from Avenue A to Avenue C; and on Avenue A from Twentieth to Twenty-First Sts.

He vol- untarily gave himself up a few days later and walked out after a year when ail but $30 he had taken had been returned, Conners said. A respected Clevelander, Chilton asserted he would fight extradition to Oklahoma. Chilton, said by the police to be working on a government survey job, said his wife and two children did not know of his escape as a youth of 18 in 1913, “If they hear about this,” he said, “you might as well put a bomb under this house and blow it up for the ef- fect it would have on them.” Soil Conservationist i Examinations Slated Applications for the open compe- titive examinations for soil conserva- tionists (farm planning) in the de- partment of agriculture will be re- ceived until Aug. 24, according to Miss Miss Alice Sales, secretary of the U, 8. civil service board of examiners.
