RAIL UNONS PLAN “PLEATO CONGRESS All 21 Brotherhoods Will | Unite in Appeal for Assist- ance on Relief Program. By the Associated Press. | CLEVELAND, September 26.—Con- gressional assistance to help solve rail- road labor’s unemployment problem will be sought in December by a special committee representing all of the 21 railroad brotherhoods, it was announced here today. q D. B. Robertson, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, who heads the special com- mittee, said a definite program of relief will be present to Congress at that time. The brotherhoods now have ne‘:’rly 350,000 unemployed members, he | said. | “No indication was given what the| relief plan may be, but Mr. Robertson | said the 21 brotherhoods were agreed | that a shorter work day and shorter | work week was the only basis upon | which unemployment can be solved. He sald there had been no agreement upon what effect shorter hours should have upon the individual worker's wages.” Survey Being Made. The special committee of the 21 brother] has been mal a na- tional survey of the unemployment problem and will continue this work through October. From the data thus obtained the committee then will set to work to form its recommendations for relief. Mr. Robertson -said the decision to submit the problem to Congress was made because of a steadfast refusal of railroad executives to meet the brother- hood officials in a joint round-table dis- cussion of the situation and because re- lief funds within the brotherhoods are diminishing rapidly. Parley Proposal Rejected. The most recent proposal for a joint conference was rejected by the railroads on the ground that the unemployment difficulties should be handled by each road individually. Announcement of the intention to | submit an unemployment relief plan directly to Congress comes at a time when the railroads are seeking permis- sion from the Interstate Commerce Commission to raise freight rates 15 per cent in order to bolster the roads’ revenues, which have declined precipi- tiously in recent years.

CHICAGO, September 26. ——-Unlud‘ Johnson today issued a statement in | else in his office had, been bribed or | influenced in any way in the interests | of Terry Druggan and Prank Lake, the | former beer barons, charged with vio- | lating income tax laws. | Taking cognizance of published re-| ports that the gangsters were planning | to charge that they paid $75,000 to es- | cape the penitentiary, Johnson said the story, disclosed as a “plot” to discredit the “prosecutor, “is now being investi- gated by the Government in an ex- haustive manner, with my full co-opera- | tion.” None Received Bribes. “So far_as the facts relate to me and my office,” he said, “neither I nor any one in my office has been bribed, and I do not believe any one else has been bribed or improperly influenced. Neither I nor any one in my office has been swerved by either political influ- ence or friendships, in our judgment. The story falls by its own weight.” ‘The reports of the $75,000 bribe were supposed to have been started by Har- old Hayes, owner of a hotel formerly used as a gang headquarters. Agents of Attorney General Mitchell were re- ported to have come to Chicago to question many present and former Gov- ernment officials. The Hayes story was that Druggan, and Lake, who have pleaded guilty to violating the income tax laws, paid $75000 to a Chicago attorney, sup- posedly acting as a go-between, and that in return they were to escape jail sentences and merely be fined after a compromise with the Government over the tax liability. The Tribune said the whole story was a plot to attempt to destroy the character of Johnson and obstruct Government prosecution of | cases against gangsters. Johnson said he did not intend to make any recommendation in the| Druggan and Lake criminal cases, but if asked to do so by the court he would suggest “a substantial penitentiary sen- tence.” He said he had no authority over the settlement of a tax liability. Intended to Testify. The plot had advanced ‘o the point, the Tribune sald, where Druggan in- tended to teslify from the witness stand in Federal Court during his income tax evasion trial that he had paid the $75,- 000 to procure immunity from punish- ment. Druggan planned to swear that his money reached Johnson's office.

By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo., September 26.—Pro- hibition has joined the list of issues upon which there is registered a differ- ence of opinion among delegates to the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Chureh. Prohibition was both criticized and defended in a report by the Committee of Twenty-one adopted by the House of Bishops. The committee, headed by James E. Freeman of Washington, was appointed to consider prohibition and Jawlessness, world peace and industrial dislocation. “There is," the report recites, “wide- spread and honest difference of opinfon in the Nation, within the church and among members of this convention as to the wisdom and desirability of re- talning the eighteenth amendment and the consequent legislation in their pres- ent form. “There are those who honestly favor the retention of the law as it now stands, belleving it has accomplished good and may accomplish more and | better results. Others, not less devoted to the high rpose which prompted the passage of this law, believe that in its present form it ministers to disre- spect for law and the growth of a dan- gerous spirit of anarchy.” Complication of Issue, ‘The committee hesitates to recom- mend concerted action on grounds that issues involvea are “highly controversial and closely related to partisan politics.” “The enforcement of the prohibition law,” the report states, “has been steadily resisted, and has been accom- panied by graft, corruption, lawlessness, murder nad litical cowardice and hypocrisy—Ilawlessness, however, issues in part out of conditions which have not always been given full consider- ation, such as the enactment of laws, or the failure to repeal laws which do not command or continue to enlist pub- lic confidence, and have lost the respect lll-ld support of & majority of the peo- ple.” The ignoring or violation of such laws, the report continues, results solely because the laws affect personal rights and liberties which individuals them- gelves determine to maintain, regard- less of social consequences. The Committee of Twenty-one, com- Posed of 7 bishops, 7 clergymen and 7 aymen, urges United States member- ship in the World Court and strict ad- herence to the Kellogg-Briand pact, outlawing war, Solution of the problem of industrial dislocation, the committee believes, is the responsibility of the community, with the recognition of the “downmost :;-yq‘u the supreme ethical task of our Other Problems in Hand. Problems regarding marriage and di- vorce and the use of the American Missal, mass book, were in the hands of the House of Bishops today, after a heated session of the House of Deputies.

Misunderstanding Claimed. ‘The report was that Miss Leonora Adverta Muttart, the nurse, knew of two men who had a motive for killing Ben- jamin Collings of Stamford. After lengthy questioning, during which she | convinced officials of the district attor- ney's office of Suffolk County, Long Island, that she had no such knowl- edge, she was released. “We didn't get any information from her, and I don't bellieve she had any,” said Assistant District Attorney Fred J. Munder of Suffolk County. “I think & wrong construction was placed on words she uttered.” Keeps Source Secret. Asked to whom Miss Muttart had ut- tered these words, Munder sald he ‘would not care to state.” The nurse was questioned at length in police headquarters fter she, had finally consented to leave her apart- ment, in which she had previously locked hersell when sought for exami- nation. A reporter for a New York City newspaper was also questioned concerning the report that Miss Mut- tart had important information. Miss Muttart at first refused to leave her apartment and with equal insist- ence refused to let police enter. For hours they argued with her, shouting their pleas through the locked doors, and at last she bowed to their wishes, But by that time crowds gathered in the street and dozens of reporters and camera men were waitl to get a glimpse of her.

Munder and Di Martini said they were here on the Collings case, but refused to say in what connection. One theory of the investigators is that the father and a brother of an unidentified girl might have been the slayers of Collings.
