GREEN MAPPING PLAN TO SMASH unionmckets Federation Chief Pledges Efforts to End Wave of Exploitation. BY FRANK MURPHY Halted Frau Staff BOSTON, Oct. 10.—The problem of racketeering In‘the labor movement and ways of fighting it were discussed before the convention of the American Federation of Labor here by President William Green and the Rev. John W. Maguire of St. Viator's college, Bourbonnais, Hi Father Maguire stressed the tremendous harm done to organized labor by a few racketeers. Oreen said he and his associates were pledged to the work of driving out the racketeers who move “under the garb of trade unionism.’’ Recites Chicago Case “I was informed on one occasion in the city of Chicago," he related, “that an outstanding individual charged with being a racketeer had sought control of one of our federal unions, and when that fact was brought to my attention we demanded his resignation.' When he refused to resign we revoked the charter of the local union and recognized it again without his being a member. “In the city of New York a simila case was brought to my attention and we pursued the same policy. That is the well-known, well-recog-nized policy of the American Federation of Labor. Secretary Davis Talks “I have been conscious of these invasions of our sacred precincts. I know that men and women have exploited us, as they have others, but so far as we are able, so far

as we can with all the power and might at our command, we will drive from our midst every racketeer when we know who he is.” Secretary of Labor James J. Davis told the convention that the present unemployment situation has been handled better than any similar period of depression in history. He expressed confidence that there soon would be a virtually complete return to normalcy, and declared that “the high standard of living in the country has come to stay.” Father Maguire charged that “any economic system which can bring on cycles of unemployment such as this one, when there is no real reason for it, fundamentally is unsound.” He placed the blame on captains of industry and charged them with promoting “high pressure salesmanship and installment plan selling, which cause people to spend more than they can afford."

KIDNAPINGS ARE BARED IN TRIAL OF m MEN Detroit Case Is Hurried as Several Provide Startling Testimony. Bv United Prcss DETROIT, Oct. 10.—Detroit's current kidnaping trial—the state versus four men charged with holding Charles Mattler, malt manufacturer, for $14,800 ransom—was being hurried to completion today. The defendants are Harry Hallisey, Jerry Mulane, Roy Cornelius and Louis Ross. Joseph (Legs) Laman, whose prison term for kidnaping of Fred Begemen of Wyandotte has been interrupted repeatedly by subpenas, was on the witness stand Thursday. Layman, payoff man for at least one kidnaping gang, told of two Toledo kidnapings, in which Max Plummer and Earl Brock were the victims. Brock was slain when he resisted his captors. Denies Trial Promise Laman denied he was testifying under promise that he would not be taken to Ohio to face trial for the murder of Brock." Henry R. Andrews, another convicted kidnaper, testified he had lived for fifteen years by kidnaping and thievery. He identified all of the defendants except Ross as the man who held Mattler prisoner for six days. Mattler’s brother Harry told how he received notes demanding ranson of $14,800. Told to Bring Money Under the kidnapers’ directions, he registered as “Harry Miller” at a Toledo hotel. At the hotel, he received telephone instructions to bring the money to a certain address on Cherry street, “As I opened the front door of the house on Cherry street,” he said, “an inner door opened, a hand reached out and the money was gone.” An hour later his brother came home.

After hearing the remarkable story of this new medicine you can decide what you will let Konjola do for you. Here is Mr. drill's statement: “I only regret that I can not broadcast my experience with Konjola to all sufferers. About two years ago my troubles began with a burning sensation in my stomach. I tried many medicines but this trouble became gradually worse until I could only eat bread and milk, and I lived on this diet for six months before I found Konjola. “I became interested in Konjola when I watched some men paint a Konjola sign across the street from my place of business. I decided to try it I have taken four bottles, and now I eat anything I want without the least stomach distress afterward. I greatly appreciate the two weeks additional treatment which you sent me, and if any one is, please refer them to me.” wants to know how good Konjola Konjola contains no alcohol, no nerve-deadening drugs, no heart depressing chemicals.
