SENATE FIGHT ON WILKERSON ' IS THREATENED Hoover Choice for Federal Bench Draws Fire From Organized Labor. £v Bcripps-H wearsl Setcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. —Appointment of Judge James H. Wilkerson of Illinois to the United States circuit court of appeals will bring the question of labor injunctions once more before the senate and threatens to provoke a fight • similar to that waged upon Judge John J. Parker when President Hoover tried to place him upon the eupreme court. Though Wilkerson’s most recent appearance >n the national spotlight occurred during the Capone case, when he refused to allow his court to bargain for a plea of guilty, labor organizations and liberal senators recall him as author of the most sweeping injunction ever Issued in a railway labor case and other injunctions issued against organized .workers. Wilkcrson was appointed to the federal bench by President Harding a few months before the federated thop crafts strike of 1922. In September of that year, at the request of Attorney-General Harry Daugherty, he issued an injunction which in effect forbade the unions or any n f their members to do anything at all in defense of the wage scales they were trying to maintain. Blamed for Strike’s Failure This was followed by hundreds of minor injunctions issued by Wilkcrson and other judges against the striking shopmen, to which 'ailure of the strike was credited. In 1924, Wilkcrson issued another which became the basis ; of the cight-ycar-old court fight of I Ihe International Brotherhood of I Electrical Workers. At that time Western Union was \ employing nonunion men to install call boxes in new buildings, and the organization of electrical workers forbade its men to work in buildjngs where such labor was employed. Wilkerson issued an injunction against the electrical workers in which he laid down the doctrine that “the right to work is not an Absolute right.’’ Assailed by Labor A determined fight against Wilkerson’s confirmation already has been organized by “Labor,” official publication of the railway brotherfc lods. “Wilkerson has been mixed up with Cook county and Illinois politics since 1902. He always has been a ‘machine’ politician, close to the Insull power interests and bitterly antagonistic to organized labor,” says “Labor.” “Wilkerson was so satisfactory to the Insull and other interests that the ‘machine’ recommended him for a place on the federal bench.” Regarding his record in the Carpono case, the article says: “The fact is that Wilkerson hurled his thunderbolts at the racketeers who were not in favor with the ’machine.’ Today there is just as much beer running and bootlegging of whisky in Chicago as there was in the palmy days of ‘Scarface Al,’ but it is being directed by anew set of racketeers who apparently enjoy immunity from official attacks.” HOLDS CITY NOT LIABLE Men Hurt on ‘Made Work’ Project Can’t Collect, Says Knight. Opinion that the city is not liable to pay compensation to laborers injured while working on municipal projects under the “made work” sst.em, was given the works board Wednesday by Edward Knight, corporation counsel. The opinion was sought by the board. Knight recommended that city officials, authorized to make “made work” assignments, keep records of the case sand the nature of the work to which the labor was assigned. A compensation case against the city now is pending before the state industrial board. Regardless of the decision, the litigation will be carried to the state appellate court, Knight said.

NAVAL PROBERS SCORE PAROLES IN SEXHES Believe Leniency Is Spur to Hawaii Lawlessness; Assembly Called. BY DAN CAMPBELL L'nited Pros Staff Correspondent HONOLULU, Jan. 14.—Drastic reforms to curb lawlessness will be cansidered Monday by a special session of the territorial legislature following a naval affairs committee report charging lawlessness was encouraged by paroles granted men convicted in assault cases. Two of the paroled convicts later were identified by Mrs. Thomas H. Massie as members of the gang which assaulted her, leading to “an alleged revenge murder,” and culminating in the present turmoil on the islands. The two were paroled by Governor Lawrence Judd, one so that he might enter an amateur boxing tournament in New York City as an Hawaiian representative. He was Ahakuelo. The other was a Chinese-born citizen named Chang. Both were convicted in an attack on a Chinese girl. Talk Death Penalty “The committee feels,” the report submitted in Washington said, “that establishment of such a precedent has caused a lawless element to believe this crime can be committed in Honolulu without serious consequence for their acts.” Judd was asked to report whether recommendations for fixing capital punishment for such assaults should not be given the legislature. The legislature% called by Judd, probably will consider some such action. It will be recalled that present law requires evidence from sources other than the alleged victim in attack cases before conviction by a jury. This matter of law was responsible for the judge’s instructions ot the jury which tried alleged assailants so Mrs. Massie, resulting In disagreement, and release of the accused on bond. Hear Screams in Car The latest charge of attempted assault under island law came Tuesday with complaint of Mrs. Patricia Vacco, 21, Portuguese, against an American, Philander B. Gray, 31. Officers in a patrol car heard screams and found the couple in an automobile. Honolulu otherwise had quieted down after the week of excitement caused by the kidnaping and murder of Mrs. Massie’s alleged assailant. The special session will start im-

ITALIAN PAPER PROPOSES ALL CANGEIJEBTS America Can Not Stand Out Against Europe, Says Fascist Organ. By United Pres* MILAN, Italy, Jan. 14.—The United States will renounce war debts because its people don’t want to be known as shylocks and war profiteeers, it was predicted today in a newspaper article, believed to have been written by Premier Benito Mussolini. The article entitled “Before the Accomplished Fact of Germany's Insolvency, a Word to America,” appeared in the newspaper Popolo D'ltalia. It was an appeal to America to cancel war debts. Europe should take the first step toward renouncement, it was suggested, by canceling German reparations. Then all debtors to America should unite in an appeal to the United States for cancellation of their debts. “One sole state owes nothing to anybody and is the creditor to all —the United States. This situation does not complicate, but simplifies, tne problem,” the article credited to Mussolini said. “Prime Minister MacDonald has indicated that Britain is not unwilling to welcome a radical solution of the problem. France finds in the yet undefined attitude of the United States a notice for intransigeance. The keystone of solution, therefore, lies in the hands of the United States. “There is only one way to escape from the static situation which is heaping so many ills upon the world, namely, for European countries to begin mutually giving up debt credits, and then for .European cred-

By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—'Text of a cablegram to Richard Geiss, 33, in Chicago, from his wife Gretchen, who is in • Hochbeim, Germany, with their young daughter: “In vain waited. Dolores’ pneumonia bad. Longs for you. Come immediately. With love, Gretchen.” Text of a cablegram Geiss sent in reply: , Please wire everything about Dolores. Coming on next beat. Hoping everything turns out all right.” Verdict of a coroner’s jury: Richard Geiss came to his death through a bullet wound inflicted by police when he tried to hold up the Abarbanell Bros, cleaning and dyeing shop in Oak Park. Justifiable homicide.” itors to present a united front to the United States. “European debtors would then have a clear conscience in asking cancellation of their debts to the United States. Is it thinkable that the United States would insist on claiming payment from European countries, who had made similar concessions to Germany? Do you think the United States would compel Europe to recommence the vicious circle which Lausanne is supposed to break once and for all? “It is a mistake to believe that Americans are deaf to suggestions of cancellation of debts. “Americans would not like to appear in the history of mankind as the sole and lasting profiteers of the war. No American would like to be compared to Shylock exacting pounds of flesh from the bodies of their debtors.”
