A.F.OFL.TOPLAN SOUTHERN DRIVE Green Calls Meeting of 105 Affiliated Union Leaders for November 14, The American Federation of Labor has moved to meet the challenge of some employers in the South that it is communistic and destructionist by calling upon the presidents of 105 af- filiated labor unions to send representa- tives to Washington on November 14 to plan an intensive organization cam- paign in Southern States. In a letter sent to heads of various unions, William Green, president, and Prank Morrison, secretary, said: *“The officers and members of the American Federation of Labor must respond to the appeal of the Southern workers for as- sistance and help. “We must give to them and to the in- dustrial situation in the South the con- structive service which the American Federation of Labor is prepared to give “Let us accept the challenge which comes to us from those extremists arong employers of the South who class- ify the American Federation of Labor as communist and destructionist.” Calling of the conference was an aft- ermath of the Toronto convention of the federation last month, at which re- cent events in the Southern textile in- dustry were recalled and President Green instructed to press for organi- zation of workers in the section. More than a million workers are em- ployed in the region where the cam- paign is to be conducted, and the con- ference in Washington will be asked to formulate & policy that will be accepta- ble to all elements among Southern workers “regardless of craft or calling.” " BANDIT IS SURPRISED AND TAKEN FOR TRIAL Whitey Walker Suddenly Placed in Car to Face Court in Oklahoma Town. By the Associated Press. BORGER, Tex., November 5.—Whitey Walker, notorious outlaw, wanted on half a dozen criminal charges in Texas and Oklahoma, much-to the surprise of his lawyers and himself, was in Okla- homa today to face trial on robbery ges. One man, Curtis Black, already has drawn a 99-year sentence in the mb-‘ bery for which Walker is to be tried at ‘Ada, Okla, and, according to m-l triet Attorney Clem Calhoun, who was to have prosecuted Walker here, the prisoner went back to Oklahoma in fear and trembling. Walker did not leave without a struggle. Handcuffed as he was, he at- tempted to throw himeself out of an au- tomobile when he realized he was being taken to Oklahoma. Because of lack of material witnesses District Attorney Calhoun sought’ and obtained a continuance when Walker's trial for the slngng of two Hutchinson County peace officers came up at Stin- nett, county seat of this county, yes- terday. Sheriff Fred Bowles of Ada, armed with extradition papers, had walted quietly in town for several days. Not suspecting any immediate move to bring Walker to trial or take him back to Oklahoma, his attorney, Dewitt Bomer of Temple, Tex., was on & train on his way home when Sheriff Mocre and a State Ranger took Walker from :’;ofien and placed him in an auto- le. WIFE WHO STABBED MATE MAY GO FREE Self-Defense Plea Is Likely to Re- sult in Officials Refusing to Bring Murder Charge. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, November 5.—A plea of self-defense, which Mrs. Louise Stein made to police in connection with her confession to stabbing to death her husband, Meyer Stein, veteran “crou- pier” in the Ecorse gambling house of “Lefty” Clark, may result in no charge being made against Mrs. Stein, Duncan C. McCrea, assistant prosecuting attor- ney, said_yesterday. Mrs. Stein admitted she fatally stabbed Stein when he returned from Ecorse drunk and attempted to beat her, because he had lost all his money in & dice game. Whether a homicide charge will be made against her will depend on the verdict of a coroner’s jury, McCrea said. Both McCrea and Detective Lieut. John Hoffman, who heard her confession, sald they were convinced she acted in self-defense. Stein died while being taken to the hospital. His wife, who reported find- ing him, told police at first that he had stabbed himself. She said Stein had lost large sums at the Ecorse gambling resort and on such occasions he always came home drunk. He has a record of 23 arrests on charges of drunkenness. disturbing the peace and frequenting a gambling resort. —e. MIRIAM WRIGHT TO SUE. Architect Owes Her $6,000 Ali- mony, Divorced Wife Says.
