4 ~c “SHOOTTO KILL” ALLMAN'S ORDER Chicago Police Head Deter- mined to Halt Bombing of Theaters. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. October 15.—An order to | “shoot to kill” was issued by Police Commissioner James P. Allman {o. halt theater bombings. “The bombers can't keep getting away.” he said last night. “We expect to kill a few of them if they keep this bombing up " H Allman acted in compliance with | Mayor Anton J. Cermak's insistence { that “drastic measures” be taken &t once. Thirteen theaters have besn bombed over a period of two months during which a labor controversy has been | raging between the motien picture | Operat union and the hundred theater owners who are members of the Allied Independent Motion Picture | Theaters Association. Four attempts to end the dispute bave failed. The theater owners have refused to comply with the union’s de- mand that two operators per shift be empicyed in each of the hundred out- iying houses scattered through Cook, Dupage and Lake Counties. Owners claimed the $100 to $175 per week sal- ary paid the extra operator represented the difference between their operating at & profit or lcss. Offer to Accept Cuts. ‘The union offered to accept cuts to offset the owners' loss, but the | association rejected this. The first indlcation of trouble was given August 2. when owners notified Thomas E. Maloy, business agent of the union. who was recently indicted | for conspiracy and graft, that they would close their theaters August 9 unless he consented that they operate with one projectionist a shift. Maloy refused. The theaters closed, and Te- mained dark until August 22, when 100 operators, brought from New York and other Eastern cities, were licensed tc operate he During this licensing Joseph Maloy, Thomas’' brother, was ousted as head of the Licensing Bureau. salary | Police guards were installed at each theater, and injunctions were obtained to prevent the local union operators from picketing and canvassing. Mat- ters appeared to be moving smoothly until_August 28, when the Ray. Ridge and Olympia Theaters were bombed. Since then the imported operators have said they were slugged and shot at and stench bombs have been set off in many theaters—not always those in- volved in the controversy. Owners Blame Union. The twelfth bomb was exploded late ! Monday at the Monroe Theater, while the show was in progress. The thir- teenth was tossed vesterday morning at the Easterly Theater When the bombings started, the cwn- ers blamed the unfon. Maloy denied the allegations and offered $5.000 reward for capture of the bombers. He added that the owners were having their own theaters bombed to create sympathy. Last night officials of the union offered to post their unemployed members as guards at theaters to help police guards prevent further violence. They made this proposition as police took James Aducci and five others into custody for | questioning. | DIRECTIONS F.ORT'KICK" TRIP WINE BRICK SELLER| First Conviction in Ph“fld!lphifl‘ Recorded—Judge Holds Mere ' Possession Legal.
