LEWIS TOUTED TO OUST OLD A. F. L. CHIEF Supporters Say Sufficient Votes Pledged for His Election. STRENGTH IS CONCEDED DENVER, Colo., June 17.—John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers of America, has enough rotes pledged and enough in sight to assure his electio .as president of the American Federation of Labor in place of Samuel Gompers. according to claims of his supporters today. The campaign being conducted for him is the biggest talk of the labor convention, next to the Irish question. It is the first serious attempt to oust the veteran head of the Federation. It is generally believed Lewis has the support of the United Rrotherbood of Carpenters and Joiners, which has the largest voting delegation, next to the miners, while the railroad unions are known to be in a receptive mood to "talk business.” It is conceded tbe opposition to Gompers is large enough to oust him and that Lewis, of all tbe posible candidates for his job, is alone strong enough to muster the votes to be elected. There is a question, however, whether Lewis will finally be the candidate. Ue refuses to comment on his plans. According to reports he insists upon assurance of 20,000 rotes to convince him there is enough sentiment to demand his run nlng. GOMPERS WOrLI) RESIGN AT STRENGTH? The consensus of opinion is that if this number of votes U pledged to Lewis Gompers will announce his retirement and leave the field free to the miners' head. A clean sweep of the executive council is demanded if Lewis runs. Representation of the basic industries on the council is the first demand. The miners and metal trades are already represented while their unions are not. The build Ing trades and other large crafts would be given representation instead of small organizations like the barbers, declared "little cogs” In the Gompers machine If the program now talked is carried out. The needle trades demand adequate representation. Efforts to have the Irish resolution providing fer the boycott of British goods adopted have failed. At a stormy conference of Irish delegates a number who signed the resolution withdrew their names, announcing that the Canadian af filiations of their international unions would not permit them to support it. Before entering the conference, C. P. Foley. one of the leaders of the group be hind the resolution, issued a statement declaring It would be tbe test of ‘Tea’ friendship” for Ireland when the roll of the convention is called. “If the convention fails to pas the resolution the men and women of the American labor movement will know their delegates have withheld from Ireland the only real aid in their power to give the Irish people In their hour of dire need,” said the statement. SOVIET RUSSIA WITHOUT DEFENDERS. For the first time since Its existence aoviet Russia may be without defenders In the Federation. Indications are the executive council's denunciation of the Leuin regime and repudiation of Its policies will b* appioved by the Federation without opposition. The International Association of Machinists. expected to lead to fight to demand recognition of the soviet government, -sill show little Interest now. It Is believed, because of the refusal of the soviet autaorities to permit the entrance Into Moscow of W. H. Johnston of their union. Benjamin Schlesslr.ger, head of the International Garment Workers, who led the fight for recognition of Russia at tbe last convention, ‘s also said to have lost enthusiasm In the soviet government since his visit to Moscow.

HERE’S HOW HARD JANITORS SWEEP They Whisk Brooms Right Over Glistening Jeicel. A glistening llttl* diamond, valued at flOrt, lay on the floor of a eellroom at police headquarters for hours today, unnoticed. Men who have served “time" and some men who will probably “serve time." walked in and out of that cell and never looked at the floor, or the diamond. Then the janitors came, and they swept “every inch of that eellroom,” and removed all the dirt from the floor, but they did not touch that diamond. Detectives Barnaby and Church questioned Julian Overman. 18, Connersville, who had been “picked up” by Patrolman Romlnger on charges of carrying concealed weapons and vagrancy. He admitted he was “wanted” in Carthage on a charge of burglary, as he had broken into a hardware store and bad stolen the automatic pistol found in his pocket with ys when he was arrested. He also admitted he had stolen a diamond riDg from a woman for whom he worked at Carthage. Where was the diamond ? He said he dropped It on the floor of the eellroom. He was afraid he would be found with it in his possession. The detectives hurried to the eellroom. There they found the diamond, just where the janitors had swept. Overman was charged with being a fugitive from justice. He was arrested when he ran from Patrolman Rominger at Illinois ana Market streets. Beech Grove Man Heads Postmasters Special to The Times.

BUNGALOW’BOSS VENTS HIS IRE Will ‘See Some One at City Hall’ to Halt Frequent Police Visiting. John Pash, negro proprietor of the ••Bungalow,” is going to see "someone at the city hall today.” This information he gave the police at *:3O a. nu at the Bungalow. Who the “someone is the police have not learned, but that "someone” is expected to have the power to call off the regular visits of the police to the notorious Bungalow. It all happened when Lieut. William Cox and a squad visited tbe Bungalow at 3:30 a. in. They, were evidently nit as welcome aa was Patrolman Charles Carter and other negro police officers who spent a wild night at the Bungalow about a week ago, which ended in Car er being shot by a negro woman after living the roadhouse. Lieutenant Ci x, however, spent a pleasant hour at toe Bungalow. For weeks police sergeants have re ported, "visited the Bungalow, fonnd few people there, everything quiet, found no law violations." Lieutenant Cox's report, however, did not read that way. He found six taxicabs outside of tbe build Ing. He found fifteen people enjoying themselves in the case and dry drink bar of the roadhouse, and he heard a "jazz bend” playing "sweet” music. The band violated wbat Is said to have been its usual custom and quit playing at 3.31 o'clock, which was one minute after the police arrived. When the music stopped and the patrons of tne place saw the blue uniforms of the police they lost all interest in the place and three taxi loads made a quick getaway. Pash evidently did not like It. He told the police be was going to ”se<‘ someone at the city hall" and put a stop to the police searching his custom ers for "white mule” whisky and other similar drinks. Pash is said to be a relative of Ran Butler Republican political king in the northwest district of the negro section. Butler and his friends supported Thomas C. Howe, Newg-Jewett candidate, at the recent city primary, and Ran is known to have a “pull" with the "good government’ combination at the city hall. The Bungalow is a roadhouse In Brighton boulevard In the low land between the canal and Fall Creek, built by Charles Day, now dead, but who was formerly the prorietor of the notorious Brighton Beach roadhouse. There were wild nights at the Bungalow while Day lived, an*i since the State went dry the Bungalow bas been reopened at Intervals. One proprietor last year was convicted of operating n blind tiger. Then it was closed until Pash opened it a few weeks before the primary election. He has been refused a dance license a number of times by order of Chief of Police Jerry Kinney.
