to present the trade union position.
About five years ago Miss Gleaves
married unhappily, as it proved. A
separation followed. Last year pro
ceedings were instituted and an abso
lute divorce was secured without con
test. Mr. Gompers met the bride's
father several years ago at Trenton,
where Mr. Gompers had gone to deliv
er an address. At a succeeding visit
also to deliver an address, he again
met Mr. Gleaves and a warm friend
ship was established with the family.
Last fall Mr. Gompers met Mrs. Neu
scheler in this city and the friendship
then ripened rapidly uni.il, about two
months ago, the engagement was an
nounced to close friends. Mr. and
Mrs. Gompers will make their home

WALNUT AID BAZAAR
Next Week To Be Big
Affair.
The Walnut Aid Society will hold
their second annual bazaar on next
Thursday and Friday, May 5-6 at
their home on South Second Street.
The bazaar this year promises to be
a big affair. A good live committee
with Joe Fenning as secretary has
been on the job for months making
the- arrangements and Joe has kept
every one on the jump. Quite a num
ber of special concessions and attrac
tions have been booked, among them
an electric aeroplane and a brand new
merry-go-round.
There will be an old fashioned
country store, many pretty booths
where handsome prizes will be given
away, music at all times and many
tilings to amufce and entertain all
those who attend. Fifty dollars in
cash will be given away each night.
In fact it is to be one of those old
time affairs such as only the "Nuts"
can give.
Butler Aerie, Fraternal Order of
Eagles, has accepted the invitation of
the "Nuts" to attend their affair on
Friday night and promise to be their
withTjells on.

In his invasions of 1915 and *16 the
famous driver grabbed more than $82,
000 in prize money, but success in the
Indianapolis event will undoubtedly
net him more than the two years' cam
paign. Thirty-seven thousand, seven
hundred and fifty dollars was Resta's
share of the winnings in 1915, but he
was closely followed by Gil Anderson
of the Stutz team, who was but $750
behind. However, the entire Stutz
team in that year dragged down $81,
650, almost twice as much as any
other racing outfit.
Resta was piloting a Peugeot in 1915
and 1916. In his first appearance at
Indianapolis he was second to De
Palma, who won the race in his flying
Mercedes. Resta won the Chicago
500-mile |erby and then annexed the
special invitation races at Chicago and
at Sheepshead Bay. In 1916 Resta
drove his Peugeot to victory in six of
eleven events, and in 1294 miles of
driving garnered $44,400 prize money
and 4,100 points in th^ A- A. A. cham
pionship, being the first driver to be
crowned king of that organization. It
was this year that Resta won the In
dianapolois 300-mile race, repeated at
Chicago, lead the field in a 150-mile
event at Omaha, won two subordinate
races at Chicago and dosed his suc
cesses with a win In the Vanderbilt
cup race.
Resta is an Italian by birth, but has
resided in England so many years that
he has become inoculated with British
mannerisms of speech and customs.

Cincinnati, Ohio, next month. The
board will be in session for about ter
days. Thos. H. Flynn, general or
ganizer for the A. F. of L., dropped
into our city Tuesday. In the even

auditorium will be crowded. More de

MANY WORKERS
RECALLED.
To Auto Plants at Detroit,
Cleveland and Elsewhere
Automobile plants in Detroit and
Cleveland report a greater number of
men employed on April 1 than a
month previous. During March De
troit shops and factories recalled
25,694 men, according to a survey
made by the employers' association
Of this number 6,365 returned to
work during the week ended March
29. In Cleveland a gain of 24 per
cent in employment is reported in the
automobile industry. Gains of 4.2 per
cent were reported by plants manu
facturing food and kindred products.
2 per cent by textile houses, and 5.3
per cent by 13 miscellaneous factories.
More than 1,000 men were re-em
ployed by the Firestone Tire and Rub
ber company of Ackron, Ohio, last
week, increasing production nearly 50
per cent. The Goodyear Tire & Rub
ber company re-employed 1,200 men.
It is expected that more than 5,000
of Akron's idle factory workers will
be back on the job before May 1.

He is now the Sunbeam dealer in New
York. His first race was in 1907, when
he piloted a Mercedes in a 40-mile con
test at Brooklands. but was disquali
fied on a minor technicality after lead

same season, after capturing three big
events at Brooklands with a 90-horse
power Mercedes, he went to France
where he won the Prix de la France,

Boulogne.
Resta cast his fortune with the Eng
lish Sunbeam team in 1912. In 1914
his car was the first Sunbeam to finish
at the Amiens Grand Prix, trailing
three German Mercedes and Gotix
Peugeot over the tape.
Resta came to Indianapolis with a
Sunbeam in 1919, but after giving the
car a thorough tryout over the Indian
apolis track decided that it could not
be gotten in shape for the gruelling
test and shipped the job back to Eng
land before race time. He is one of
the most capable drivers that ever
entered racing competition in Amer
ica. In his campaigns he was always
the bait for racing teams of two or
three cars who hoped to eliminate the
Italian and win hands down. But as a
lone wolf he was successful and his
thrilling performance brought him
into the limelight.

around a sufficient number of coal

FACE TRIAL
Sparring For Delay Stopped
By Southern Judge
New Orleans.—After resorting to
technicalities for 18 months Federa'
Judge Foster has ordered the city of
Bogalusa, the Great Southern Lumber
Company and other persons sued for
damages as the result of killings at
Bogalusa, in November, 1919, to stop
fighting for delay and get ready for
trial. It will probably be another
year before the mobbers will be plac
ed on the witness stand and forced
to tell of their connection with the
murder of several trade unionists and
the attempting lynching of Sol Dacus,
influential negro in Bogalusa, who
urged fellow negro workers to stand
with the white workers in the mill
strike of that year.
The suits were started by the wid
ows of the murdeied unionists. In
the case of George Williams the charge
is made that he was beaten nearly to
death because he refused to quit his
business of draying and return to
work the mill.
The widows charge that their i
bands were killed for the "sole
pose of destroying organized labor"
Bogalusa, and that the compa
sounded the mill's siren whistle
assemble the mob.
The mob first went to the home
Dacus, but the negro hid in 1
swamp, and with the aid of wh
workers made his way to Gulfpc
Miss. When the mob failed to fi
Dacus his home was demolished,
family terrified and $1,300 worth
war savings stamps stolen.
The mob then went to the hei
quarters of the unionists, and a
mand was made for Dacus. 1
unionists replied that he was i
there and the mobbers were invi?
to search the building. In reply tl
fired with shotguns, rifles and rev

secretary of the Illinois Manufact
ers' Association, attempted to si
the blame for cossack agitation fr.
the shoulders of big business to graf

Glenn avoided discussing the
bii
details, while generalizing on the
cessity for "rural protection." Oil:',
der then read the bill, section by s-.
tion, and showed that it provides for .•
military chief, appointed for life, v:.
would have autocratic power over
military force that could raid
a
any
community "for any purpose or at any
time the military chief might decide
upon."
Glenn wobbled under this array of
facts and then declared that the
whole trouble was caused by grafters
who preyed on innocent business men.
He agreed that the strike features of
the bill are "bad," and said the biil
was not originated among business
men, but had been conceived by a
self-appointed committee of publicity
agents who used it as a means by
which to solicit financial contribu
tions from business men. He said
this so-called committee handed bus
iness men "a lot of bunk" and that
they "had fallen for it."
This surprising confession conn

through the agitation by organised
labor.

Senator Borah said |hat as a

between this country and Japan would
yield to reason.
"What could Japan reply," he said,
"if California, over the conference

the California laws prohibiting Japan

that Japan has a law prohibiting

BACK GARY

In Any Future Conflicts
With Labor Unions
New York.—At their annual meet
ing in this city steel trust stock
holders pledged support to Judge Gary
in any "future conflicts" with labor
unions.
The majority of the stockholders
were represented, a3 is usual, by
large banking and other interests,
who declared that they are willing to
forego profits to "maintain the right
of each American citizen" to enter
into private contract with employers.
The prospect of a single wage
earner being denied the right to en
ter into contract with the gigantic
steel trust is too much for the^e
stockholders, and they notify the
world that the loss of their profits
is nothing compared with the loss to
that worker.
The resolution is heroic, except to
trade unionists, to whom it is "old
stuff." The organized workers have
heard this song from every employer.
Practically all of them pledged
