CLOSE CHICAGO SPEAKIES, BUT RUM FLOWS ON Huge Convention Business Anticipated by Bootleggers. // 7 1 ffit rrf PfftM CHICAGO. Junp 10.—Speakeasies have been closed right and left for the Republican national convention, but liquor is easy to get. One bootlegger has ret up headquarters in one of the hotels, and has gone down the list of early convention arrivals, room by room. He knocks at the door and ask* the guest if he Is wet or dry, holding up a list of names as if making a poll. If the guest says he is wet, the bootlegger confides that he can obtain anything at a moment's ' notice and will deliver it to the room. He * will even permit hotel guests to charge their liquor. BY RAY BLACK United Pre* Staff Corrrsnondent CHICAGO, June 10.-Three-fourths of the 600 speakeasies in Chicago’s loop closed today. Not a barrel of beer was hauled into the loop. Many patrons who never before had known what it meant to go without a drink when thirsty in Chicago could not And a bar open. Visitors to the Republican convention need not change their drinking plans, however. Proprietors who darkened their saloons and beer parlors today were merely playing safe. They will reopen about the time the Republican leaders open their convention, and start the battle over a resubmission plank. Fear Early Raids An underworld chief who knows the inside workings of the liquor and beer business here, told the United Press why the speakeasies closed. “Proprietors figure they would be foolish to risk being raided with only four days to go before the big show starts," he said. “A raid now would shut off any chance of getting in on the boom in trade we expect to start next week.” Prohibition Administrator Malachi L. Harney of the Chicago district has 187 federal agents on the job. They have been raiding quietly, but systematically. It was fear of these agents that caused all but 150 drinking places in the loop to bar their doors. The 150 that remain open are mostly small places high in office buildings or otherwise well hidden. Prices Go Up The United Press’ informant estimated that guests who stay in the fifteen big Loop hotels will drink 10.000 bottles of hard liquor every day the convention lasts. This includes pints of whisky, fifths of gin and brandy and all other types of liquor obtainable here. Others will drink in some of the 20,000 speakeasies scattered over the city. If they drink beer, it will be from bottles, if the speakeasy is in the Loop. Only outlying places risk bringing in anything as bulky -as barrels of beer now. Coincident with the eve of the convention, liquor prices jumped sharply. Cases of Scotch and bourbon whisky went from S7O and SBS to $lO5 and sllO. Speakeasies had not raised their rates so far.

JIM AND WALT WILL RETURN TO LYRIC Frances Dale, Jack Paige and William Powell Will Open Saturday in a Sketch, “Dog-Gone,” for a Week. THERE has been a star on each Lyric stage bill each week for a season or more, but opening Saturday for the next week, the management announces that there will be two star attractions on the usual stage show of six RKO Vaudeville acts. Jim and Walt, well known radio harmony brothers from WLW, are first stars in mention, while Miss Frances Dale, assisted by Jack Paige and William Pollard in a one-act comedy playlet, are associated headliners. In addition to this stage program George O’Brien will be seen and heard in his latest feature picture, “Mystery Ranch,”

It will be a sort of home-coming for Jim and Walt, in as much as these two boys started their radio and stage careers in this city. Years ago Jim and Walt conceived the idea to concentrate upon radio. This they did from the local station WFBM for many years. Their popularity grew rapidly and it wasn’t long until radio personal appearances became the rage. It was then that Jim and Walt were booked for their first personal appearance at the Lyric. They were a hit and while working on the stage a scout from the Crosley Radio Corporation, in Cincinnati, saw them and hurried the boys to the WLW studios for an audition. From that time on. Jim and Walt were made and are now classed among the foremost harmony teams on the air. During the years of radio broadcasting the boys have created a great fan following. Frances Dale, Jack Paige and William Powell recently closed a successful run with the Berkell Players and have decided to cast their lot in vaudeville, at least for the time being. Miss Dale also will be remembered for her fine work with the Arthur

TEACHER PLIGHT BECOMES MORE DAILY Chicago Seeks Huge Federal Loan to Relieve Educators. By United Press CHICAGO. June 10.—Request of Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds to relieve Chicago’s municipal finance crisis today drew attention to the increasingly serious plight of the 14.000 unpaid public school teachers. Mayor Anton J. Cermak confessed today with five Chicago banks asking co-operation in obtaining a loan from the federal reserve construction agency. The largest and most pressing need for a loan is to cover the $20,000,00 owed the teachers in back pay, but the city government- would welcome a loan up to $150,000,000. If’ the finance corporation rules against making a direct loan to the city, Cermak wished the banks to borrow from the corporation and reloan to the city. A similar device was used in Charleston, S. C. That want and misery is widespread among the. teachers was emphasized today by President Agnes B. Clohesy of the elementary teachers’ union. Since a year ago last April teachers’ pay days have been infrequent. Now, Miss Clohesy pointed out, teachers face a second successive vacation with empty pockets and staggering debts. “Hunger and want are increasing daily among the teachers,” she said. “For nearly a year and a half they have been under terrific strain and many have reached the breaking point. Each day brings new cases of suffering among the teachers. “Except for infrequent fragmentary salaries, teachers have gone payless or taken school board script. This was quoted today at more than 25 per cent discount.”

PAY SLASH UR FURLOU6H AGAIN UNDER DEBATE House and Senate Groups Are at Odds on Bill for Economy. B;/ United Prr** WASHINGTON. June 10.—House and senate conferees on the $149.000.000 economy bill prepared today to fight out again the issue of flat government salary reductions versus payless furloughs. The senate, just before passing the bill, substituted the administration furlough plan for a straight 10 per cent cut on all salaries of SI,OOO or more. House conferees, headed by Representative McDuffie (Dem., Ala.), still favor the direct reduction and there is possibility it may be restored. Proponents of the furlough assert it would encourage private industry to establish a general five-day week, but would discourage further direct wage cuts. Opponents insist it would result in favoritism and dscrimination in government departments. The furlough would apply to all employes receiving more than $1,200 a year and would be equivalent to a reduction in pay of 8.3 per cent. The plan provides that each employe must take a month off during the year without pay. The em-
