I shot in the jaw during the battle last night, was not seriously injured. The pair hnd robbed the Scott I state Hank ut nearby Bethany of | $1,300 earlier in the day. It was the greed of one of the bandits which brought about their death. Sheriff Emery Thornell said. The man reached into a cash drawer for a bill which had snagged and set off the bank's alarm. A posse of more than 100 men started an immediate pursuit. Roaring through town in a stolien automobile after kidnaping cashier Hugh Scott and releasing him at the edge of town, the bandits slipped through the cordon of possmen into a cornfield. Discouraged the posse returned home. Early in the evening M. H. Eckman, farmer, answered a knock at his door. Two men were asking for a drink of water. He gave them the water and called the sheriff. They separated and set out in groups of four. At a wooded knoll they came upon the pair, crouched with guns in hand. The bandits opened fire. The possemen answered. Poole was killed almost at once, his companion severely injured. The slain ptflr was armed with a .30 calibre rifle and a pistol. •'None of us knew how close we were until we almost walked into their laps.” the sheriff said. “When they opened fire, we ans-

j wered them. . "It's lucky more wereh’t killed." Eight hundred dollars of the I loot was recovered, the sheriff said. r The remainder was not accounted for. Neither of the pair wus masked when they entered the bank. They overlooked $20,000 in the ' open vault in their hasty departure after the alarm sounded. Sheriff Thornell said he would question Jana Lelund, 27, and Frank Graycroft, 39, about the dead men. Both denied knowledge of the robbery although they were seized in a raid on a cabin near where the bandits’ abandoned automobile was discovered. Correspondence found in the shack will be checked, the sheriff said. o Water Starts Fire Denver (U.R) — Water, customarily used for extinguishing fire, turned the tables and started a blaze which almost destroyed a garage under construction here. A downpour of rain soajted some lime which smouldered into flame.

LABOR GROUPS IN CONFLICT Lewis, Green Factions Dispute Bitterly On Unionization By Joe Alex Morris r (United Press Staff Correspondent) 1 Washington, July 10 — (UP) — ' American Federation of Labor today warned Insurgent leaders seeking to unionize the steel industry that they might fight alone unless a method is found to compromise their rebellion. With New Deal representatives keeping in touch with every move In the conflict, the Federation’s executive council counted noses and determined it had .sufficient votes to suspend the rebel committee for industrial organization leaders— if it deems such drastic action advisable. Hut there were increasing indications that only the most drastic circumstances would pronwt it to outlaw beyond recall the 12 C. 1. O. Unions led by John L. Lewis, despite the rebels campaign for 'industrial organizations as opposed to the dominant A. F. of L. craft unions. Instead the council sought means of forcing a truce to end the most serious labor split in A. F. of L. history. The developments included: A declaration by A. F. of L.

He made a conciliatory gesture to the Lewis faction, however, by saying that the council would have to 8 decide whether the unionization drive In the steel industry would receive support of the federation. Green also declared that the federation favored Industrial-type unions in the proper circumstances as ) well as Kraft Unions, and that the - council would leave no stone un- ► turned in its effort to achieve a com- :- (promise settlement. V The danger of immediate Indue:t trial warfare as a result of the steel b ' automobile, rubber and textile unionization drive appeared lessened , due to reports that Labor leaders 9 had informed President Roosevelt . that there was no reason to fear I major strikes which would injure , business and affect political developments before the November elec- ( tion. o : SOIL PROGRAM IS MODIFIED ) Conservation Program Modified As Part Os Drought Aid Washington, July 10 — (U.R) — Modifications of the soil conserva- ’ | tion program in the north central ' I drought area were announced by ■ | the agriculture department today 11 as part of the government’s drive to relieve distress among more than 1,000,000 impoverished farm families. The modifications will apply to the corn-belt region of Illinois, lowa, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota. Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, iSouth Dakota and Wisconsin, j Similar modifications previously j had been made in other areas, i particularly the northwest spring wheat belt and in the southeast. The modifications were designed to preserve'all available forage i for livestock feed, to encourage | fanners to increase the amount of I their forage crops for fall and ,; winter feeding, and to provide as j large as possible an acreage of soil conserving crops for 1937. The modifications were ani nounced by Claude R. Wickard, | acting soil conservation director 1 of the north central region. Wickard said another provision provided that farmers might obtain their soil conservation payments if they presented proof of performance other than a good stand of a soil conserving crop, if failure to obtain a good stand was caused by drought conditions.
