L. O'SULLIVAN BR, June 14.—Working con- DED ditions in steel mills were cited by | labor leaders nore today at the Amer jean Federation of Labor convention in answer to attacks of BR. H. Gary, head of the United States Steel cor poration on the leaders of organized | labor, “More credence would be placed tn Mr. Gary's remarks if he granted his men an eight-hour day and allowed them to organize for their own prog ress and betterment,” Frank Morr son, secretary of the federation, stated, Morrison's comment was on Gary's statement before the students of Syracuse university, that “employers Are more solicitous for the welfare of their workmen, and do more to pro mote their comfort and happiness than outsiders.” “Gary can’t be very solicitous for hia men's welfare when he forces them to work 12 hours @ day, and cuts their wages at the first oppor tunity,” said Morrison, The convention proper marked time today while the various commit toes were at work considering resolu tions, reports and other routine mat- ters, Main work of the convention will not be taken up until the latter part of the week. Little sentiment had developed to day in opposition to the re-election of Samuel Gompery as president of the federation, Ils address at the opening of the convention was generally approved by the delegates, and undoubtedly solidified his position as leader. Close friends of John L. Lewis, | proposed as a candidate for the job, | admitted there waa little chance of putting over the head of the mine workers for the position, A self-appointed committee of nine, made up of *ympathizers of the fight of the Irish for freedom, agreed upon \ & resolution which will be presented | | to the convention, demanding that it recognize the “Irfkh republic.” The committee was still undecided om the question of recommending that labor boycott goods mado in Engtand, Fig Tim” Murphy, of Chi-|] hale in voleanic rock.

He said he would be at home that evening, gave me his address and said he would have the stuff there | waiting for ma I was to come at 11 o'clock. MEETS FAKE DEPUTY SHERIFF At 10 o'clock I went te meet the gangster, He had « big touring car ready, There were two men with him. One wag the “deputy sherifr—not & real deputy, you understand, but posing as ona It was always he who made the “arrest” and tet the “prie oner” make his “escape” at the proper time, I got Into the car and we headed towards the University district, The dealer's house lay in that direction, land beyond. On the way out we laid our plan of campaign. I was to leave the car several blocks from the dealer's house, go ahead and make my arrangements for the purchase, They were to give me 15 minutes. Then they were to “raid” the place, It was up to me. | during that 15 minutes, to find out where the dope was, so I could point out the cache to the “raiders” when they came. The “deputy” was to place the dealer under “arrest,” then, when we had located? the cache, was to be seized with a sudden cramp that would double him all up and make the “escape” of the “prisoner” pos. sible, We were to load the dope into |the machine and the trick wa» turned. Behind us, I knew, were the fod erate, who would wateh the men in | the car as soon as I left them, and follow them into the house to make the real arrest. DEALER NOT AT HOME; COMPLICATES THINGS All would have gone wel, no doubt, but the dealer was not at home. I pounded on his door, but there wag no responsn I returned to the car and explained, We turned back to the city. The guters were sore, They were ot of money. They had no dope—and they were all addicts, We agreed to meet again the fot lowing night and try the “knock over” again. But the next might the leader and the “deputy” were both in jafl Police detectives had arrest ed them on suspicion that they had burglarized a residence, but “had nothing on them” and the following day turned therm both loose. ‘They were having an argument when I next saw them. At my ap proach they quit talking, srtled doffed their hats and shook hands. I marveled at this display of courtesy. “How's Friday night for the knockover, sister?” the leader asked. “All right,” | answored. “I'll meet you at 10." I hurried to he federals and noti- fied them. Instead of following us, an before, they concluded to go out ahead of us, surround the house and be ready to close IN on us when things looked Interesting. HAS INTUITION SOMETHING IS WRONG As on the other night, I met the gangsters at the appointed ume. As the big car pulled across the Unb versity bridge and thru the campus I had an intuition that something was wrong. The men, when they spoke at all, growled at each other, and at me. * “What's the matter with this crowd? Why 80 jolly? I asked, thinking to rouse them out of their grouch, “Youll find out when we ret across to Laurelhurst,” snarled the bogus deputy. LE STAR FLAGDAY IS OBSERVED HERE Schools, Lodges and Civic Bodies Stage Programs Flag day, commemorating the 144th anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States, is being observed in Seattle Tuesday by schools, lodges and ctvic organizations. Spe cial exercises are being held in evory school thrnout the city. In Bremerton the Elks’ lodge was to stage the program of the day Thomas N. Swale, of this city, com mander of the Department of Wash. ington, American Legion, was to be the princtpal speaker. Commander ¥. W. Gaforaith, Jr. of the American Legion, a fow days before his recent death, issued an appeal to the public to observe the occasion fully. The day is not a legal holiday. Ballard ike will hold Ming day exercises at thelr hall at & p. m. My heart leaped into my mouth ‘They had found me out And the federals were not where I could summon them, “What's the ideat I snapped “You going to throw me down on this ‘knockover’ now that I've shown you the place where the cache ta?” “We're going to throw you, all right.” grinned the leader, “Going to crack your nut and throw you in Lake Washington. You can’t throw us in the can, kid We don't lke that game.” ‘The car was already on the long bridge leading acroas the fats from the University to Laurethurst. I considered leaping Over the rail of the bridge into the soft mud, and decided not ta 1 thought of trying to argue with them, and gave that up, wo, They were not in a mood for argument. I saw that. DECIDES TO PLAY DESPERATE GUN GAME I did nog doubt that all of them were arm I knew two of them were, Hut I decided to play game—the gun game. front seat beside the driver. I was in the back with the leader. I jerked out my revolver and preased it against the leader's riba, “Put ‘em up? I whispered tn his car. As he raised his hands « fright ened look came fnto his faca It turned as white as chalk. “I've got you all covered,” I said. loudly, “And I'm going to shoot the first one of you that starts anything jfunny. Understand? jdriver, turn this car around and drive for town, Don't tempt me to kill you, because I'll do It.” “That's right, turn around. She's got us,” agreed the gangster at my sida. “No use foolin’ with the dame.” ‘The “deputy” and the leader mado no attempt to get their hands down during the trip in. The driver went ike mad. I kept threatening them every turn of the wheel, and prod. ding my gun into the leader's ribs every now and then to remind him it was stil there and that I was very nervous, ‘When we reached the first street ear line I ordered the car stopped. 1 backed ont of the machine, put up my gun and walked, somewhat shak- fly, over to the corner to wait for a safer means of transportation. I didn't need to tell the gangsters to go on without me They had al- ready done so. I'm sorry I had nothing to arrest them for. COEUR IYALENE, Iénho.—Don- ald Reed, 18 months, soh of Mr. and Mra, R.
