Eight More Fruit Store Pickets Arrested as BOSSES CONTINUE! ype Wives In Thick - Save-Union Fight TO SURRENDER TO. STRIKING CLERKS. 50 Join Fruit Workers As 4 Dealers Settle Eight more striking fruit clerks were arrested. yesterday while picketing the shops of the retail fruit stores in the Bronx. This brings the number of arrests up to 43 in the three day fight of the Grocery, Fruit and Dairy Clerks’ Union to organize the exploited fruit store workers. Four of those arrested are to come up today in the 8th District Magistrate Court, two come up for trial today in the night court, and two were dis- missed in the 6th District Magistrate Court. The employers’ attempt to intimi- date the strikers and destroy their morale by the continued and whole- sale arrests has only served to in- | tengify their determination to fight all the harder, in spite of the fact that most’ of these workers have never belonged to a union. To prove this they point to the fact that the committees visiting the stores not yet on strike have succeeded in reeruit- ing 50 more strikers yesterday. Each day of the strike also shows an in- crease in the number of bosses apply- ing for settlements, the strike leaders | declare, Yesterday four more stores signed agreements with the workers’ organ- ization, the Korn Fruit Exchange, | 169th St. and Grand Ave.; Morris} Brik, 322 Boston Road; and Max Fin- | kelman, 71 Featherbed Lane. One of these firms controls two stores. WILSON SHOOTING . IS UP IN GIL QUIZ Blackmer, Tea eapot Dome| ‘Witness “Absent” (Continued from Pa riated.

Because of what he knows about the Harding-Coolidge- ty oil deals with Sincla’ Doheny and other oil magnates, Mil- ler is in a fair way to escape service of the 18 months’ sentence. He has | intimated that he is ready to tell what he knows if political pressure is not brought to bear to obtain pro- bation for him. The senate commit- tee on public lands investigating the Teapot Dome deal has already sum- moned Miller as a witness. Associate of Harding Gang. During the time the oil leases were being negotiated behind the closed doors of the Harding-Coolidge cab- inet Wilson and Miller were closely associated. Wilson was also inti- mately connected with the graft- laden campaign to liquidate the $2,- 000,000 republican deficit following the 1920 election of the Harding- Coolidge “Ohio gang” ticket. Infor- mation bearing on various sources of the slush fund contributions aside. from Sinclair and Doheny is reported to have been in the missing Wilson files. Persons here and in Washington who are powerful politically are at- tempting to bring about the dismis- sal of the charge against Mrs. Wil- son, who is slated for trial for the shooting, presumably to forestall in- vestigation of a political motive. Wilson was shot and seriously wounded in his office at 730 Fifth Ave. the afternoon of March 29, ° * * Blackmer “Absent.” WASHINGTO) April 11,—The name of Harry M. Blackmer, Amev- ican oil mati, was called futilely three times today at the criminal conspir- acy trial of Harry F. Sinclair. Blackmer is one of the three miss- ing witnesses in the Teapot Dome case. At present he is insFrance with a subpoena in his pucket which he is ignoring, The government would like to question him, James E. O'Neil, also in Europe, and Henry Smith Osler, last heard of in Africa, about an oil deal «which resulted in profits for them and Sinclair which later turned into Liberty Bonds, Certain of these bonds, to the amount of $233,000 found their way into the hands of former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall, allegedly as a bribe to in- duce him to lease the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to Sinclair. The case against Fall, named as a party to the alleged conspiracy, has been as good as dropped and Fall is now vacationing in California. Federal Prosecutor Owen J. Rob- erts had no expectation that Black- mer would answer to his name. He had it called merely as a technicality. The so-called “search” for the miss- ing witness has been farcical.

The report complains only of the fact that $1,500,000 might have been saved in Workmen’s Compensation payments if the infections had been prevented, The 13,304 cases of in- fection for which awards were made in 1926-27 included 2,180 permanent injuries and 94 deaths or permanent total disabilities. “Bleeding China” The second in the series of lec- tures on the subject, “Bleeding Chi- na,” to be delivered by Max Shacht- man, editor of the Labor Defender, will be given Sunday 8 p. m. at the Brownsville Youth Center, 122 Os- born St., Brooklyn, under the aus- pices of the Brownsville branch of the International Labor Defense.
