News of the World | By Associated Press “ —— FSI‘ABLISHED 1870 NEW BRITAI’\I CHICAGO UNIONS/ AS MURDERE, Citizens’ Committee Has Full Page Advertise- ments In Every Paper, Appealing For Support Police Have Already Ar- rested More Than 400 in Effort to Run ,Down Bombers and Gunmen. Chicago, May 11.—The detective bureau and city jalls were crowded today with 400 labor leaders and oth- ers held in connection with the mur- ders of two policemen here early yes- terday and the bombing of two buildings, which police attributed to labor disorders. $20,000 Reward Offered. Two men have been pointed out as resembling men in the automobile from which shots which killed Ter- rance lLyons, acting lieutenant, were fired. Rewards totalling $20,000 have been offered for the arrest of the slayers. All law enforcement organizations in the city are united in what police term, “a fight to the finish with or- ganized labor.” More than 100 labor leaders, including “Big” Tim Murphy, Cornelius Shea and IFred Mader, president of the building trades council are among those under ar- rest. Raids on labor headquarters brought in labor bosses by the score yesterday. The two partially identified as the slayers are, police say, Isadore Brav- erman, 28, and Max Glass, 33. Secks To Prove Alibi, Braverman is said to have fired the shots from an automobile when Lieut. Lyons was killed and he was pointed out by James A. McClellan and Frederick Blank, patrolman, who were in the car with lLyons when he was shot to death and when Albert Moeller, patrolman, was seriously in- jured. The identification is not posi- tive as Braverman's family has ad- vgnced an alibi for him. Glass, who is a member of the glazier's unjon, was arrested in a raid on union hudqunrlors and was point- ed out by a man who said he was an eyewitness as the slayer of Thomas Clarke, 30, patrolman who was on guard at a building which previously had been attacked. James Lafferty, a third suspect, who has been at lfberty under heavy bhond in connection with the mail robbery, was partly identified by Po- liceman Blank as the third man who rode in the death car. Seck Men “Higher Up” Charles C. Iitzmorris, chief of po- lice said he believes the men were only hirelings of the ‘“higher up" forces in organized lahor circles, put- ting into action a conspiracy to over- throw the citizens' committee and the Landis wage award, a decision handed down by K. M. Landis, former federal judge then acting as arbiter which wasg intended to settle labor disputes between members of the building trades council and the labor unions. The citizens’ committee was formed to aid in enforcing this deci- sion. “1 think this is all a mistake” Mader, president of the building trades council said. “1've been trying to play clean. Wg regret the death of the policeman as much as the of- ficers and when the results of the in- vestigation are sifted 1 believe they will find that other than labor men were to blame for the crime.” Murphy Makes Howl “It is just another bum rap like the rest they have handed me,” Tim Murphy said. “I'm no copper killer. T never slug- ged a cop in my life. The only thing T ever had to do with them was to buy one a drink. “‘Fitzmorris has insulted me. T don't know anything about this at all. He's just taking his dislike for me out on my friends and 1 suppose its the sweatbox for us for a while.” Women Also Held Women were not immune from the police dragnet and Miss Evaline Flood said to be sccretary to Murphy is be- ing held for questioning with several other women connected with , labor organizations. Appeal To Public. The citizens’ committee to enforce the T.andis building trades wage awards today, carried full page adver- tisements in every Chicago paper call- ing on Chicagoans to unite and rid the city of gunmen labor leaders. The advertisement said that the commit tee had been warned by Fred Mader, head of the building trades union, that a campaign of violence would re- sult if the T.andis awards were en- forced. Referring to this the adver- tisement said: “We will fight these labor murder- ers, gunmen and sluggers with every legitimate power in our means until we have rid Chicago entirely of this menace.” The advertisement charged that un der the leadership of “lFred Mader," an “ex-convict,” the unions had “‘de- scended from bombing and slugging to wanton and cold blooded murder.” Cargo of “Plckled Fish” Proves to Be Whiskey New York, May 11.—Customs offi- {als today raided the freighter Seattle pirit which docked yesterday with a argo of 150 barrels of “Pickled fish.” he barrels were alleged to have con- tained whiskey.

PAPER MAKERS BOLT TRADE ASSOCIATION Four Large Companies Make Wage Settlement With Labor WAGES SOMEWRAT LOWERED . Pejepscot Co, Cuts Skilled Help 5 Per Cent, with Minimum of 35 Cents an Hour for Unskilled Labor— Other Settlements, New York, May 11.--Officials of unions representing 30,000 unskilled workers in the newsprint paper mak- fng industries conferred today with manufacturers as to whether they would accept or reject a proposal to abolish their international wage scale. Leaders asserted that a strike of the unskilled men was quite probable, al- though the skilled workers, including the international brotherhood of pa- per makers, yesterday, agreed to sign a new contract. T’pon the outcome of today's con- ference will depend the life of the or- ganization among unskilled paper men in the industry it was asserted. Since the unionized craftsmen have agreed to leave them out of consider- ation in future wage negotiations the enforce their demand that unskilled labor be paid at going rates by local- ities, union officlals declared. Four Firms Bolt. Reports that four of the larger companies had bolted from the man- ufacturers’ organizations were corrob- orated this morning by officials of the companies affected. The Pejepscot Paper Co. settled on these terms: A five per cent reduction in the wages of all skilled labor and a min- imum scale of 35 cents an hour for unskilled day workers. Shift workers, unskilled, will remain at a minimum of 38 cents an hour, but will be re- classified according to a graded sys- tem. The total average reduction will be approximately 14 per cent. ' The Great Northern Paper Co. set- tled on a basis of an average of 15 per cent reduction.
