Central La hoi Moves Against Program "Ads" Will Not Condone Exploita tion of Region by Souvenir Advertising if Organization Is Successful in Bringing i A. F. of L. Meeting to Cily nrpm huh mw.

r.iif xmtiii a i.uiii in nir. anthracite field through souvenirs and solicitation of program advertising in event the American Federation of tabor convenes here next year were taken by the Scranton Central Labor union at a largely attended meeting last night at Regal hall. i Encouraging reports on the possibil ity of bringing the 1931 national labor convention to this city were received from representatives of practically every craft affiliated with the central body. Delegates were directed to have their local unions pass resolutions urging the national officers to cast their votes in favor of Scranton as the site for the convention. Secretary Frank Walsh was authorized to communicate with the national labor officers and exert pressure toward bringing the convention to this city.

i During the discussion on the con vention which extended over an hour the program advertising and souvenir schemes were brought up. A resolution was passed to notify the public that the Central Labor union or local organized labor will not permit this form of advertising soliciting as a means of raising funds to bear the expen.se of the convention. John Devine. delegate from the local Carpenters' union, said that the resolution was not necessary as the executive board thirty years ago passed legislation In this direction. Delegate Devine stated that it was a good thing to revive the agitation against souvenhs and programs.

In 1901, when the American Federation of Labor last convened here, Devine continued, a contract for souvenir and program advertising was awarded to a New York man for $600. "The man," Devine said "not only exploited the city but exterded his exploitation work tnrougn out the valley and made himself a menace to business men and Walsh Urges Action Secretary Walsh pleaded with the delegates to get to work on the idea of bringing the 1931 convention to scranton. Walsh stated that the convention will add prestige to organized labor and encourage the unorganized to affiliate with locals. The convention, he said, will be beneficial not only to organized labor but to business and Industry as well. Secretary Walsh was Indicated of the charge contained in rumors that he said it was all right to go ahead with the work on the First National bank addition although the Iron work was to be performed by nonunion labor.

The report was to the effect that Steve McDonald, business agent for the sheet metal workers, quoted an official of the bank as having made the remark that Walsh sanctioned the ommlsion of nonunion steel work from an otherwise union Job. The investigating committee cleared Walsh of the charge and reported that it was a misunderstanding as the official stated that Walsh did not make the assertion. The committee was unable to secure evidence that the rumor came from McDonald's lips. Alex Smith, Stroudsburg, a representative of the Stroudsburg local, Textile Workers, and Mary Kelleher, national organizer for the same organisation, secured the endorsement of the C. L.

U. on the Stroudsburg strike in one silk mill. A committee was named to assist the mill workers in the controversy which has extended to this city through the shipments of warps to two local mills.

Women in the Hill section particularly have been Victimized by the snatchers during the past few months, and many of th'm are fearful ef walking along the streets at night. The two thieves who were shot at Saturday night by Detective James Henshaw returned the fire when they were pursued, and the fact that they were armed came as a surprise even to the police. The police have, been handicapped, it it conceded, by reason of' the fad that few, if 'any, of the women have had an opportunity to obtain even a glimpse of the purse snatchers.

The Republican feels that the situation has become serious as a result of the state of terror which it has created, and therefore offers the reward outlined above.

Iq all, about five arrests have been made since the outbreak of purse thievery began last fall. Two Arch bald men, nabbed in North Scranton, were acquitted in criminal court, Two West Scranton youths, who were charged with burglarizing a store there as well as with purse thiefs, received sentences. Another defendant is now awaiting the action of the erand iurv. In most instances, the pocketbook snatchers have merely grabbed women's purses, Jumped back into their automobiles and sped away from the scene. There have been several cases however, where the women who of ered resistance have been struck and knocked to the ground.

In every case, the method employed by the criminals has been the same. With one of them at the wheel, a car 1 7 i i up to the curb near a point where a woman is standing or walking. The second man Jumps out, snatches the purse, and before the victim has time to realize what has happened, runs back to the machine, Jumps in and speeds away. City detectives have rounded up several suspects in recent weeks but have been unable in most cases to have them positively identified by the women victims.

The general description has always been practically the same, but the women have hesitated to say definitely that the men taken Into custody were those responsible for the thefts. No reports of purse snatching have been received by the authorities since the narrow escape of the two thieves who attempted to steal Mrs. Hen shaw's pocketbook Saturday night.

Abington Firm Rates Attacked By Commission Public Service Body Files Complaint Against Electric Concern, Planning Investigation Into Reasonableness Of Charges; Two Other Companies Hit Continuing the procedure which it inaugurated last month, when it filed a formal complaint against the rates of the Scranton Electric company, Jihe public service commission yesterday launched an investigation into the reasonableness of the tariffs of the Abington Electric company, which furnishes service to Clarks Summit, Clarks Green, and other communities In the Ablngtons. The utility commission took similar action against the Edison Power and Light company, and the Renovo Light, Heat and Power company. The complaint of the boarad gives these concerns twenty days in which to file an answer, and when the replies have been submitted, the commission will fix the dates for hearlrgs. Commission's Statement In announcing its inquiry into the three companies the commission said that "having received information relative to the reasonableness of the rates, charges and regulations of these companies which are public service companies, companies doing business within the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and subject to the provisions fthe public service company, law, and deeming an inquiry and investigation, on its own motion with respect thereto desirable and expedient, therefore the public service commission of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania hereby institutes an inquiry and investigation for the purpose of determining the fairness, reasonableness and Justness of the rates, charge and regulations of these companies. Following the receipt of the answers of the companies to these notices dates for hearings will be set by the commission." The Abington Electric company nas been in the limelight for the past six months or more, as a result of the negotiations for its purchase of the Brookslde power plant of the Northern Electric Street Railway company.

The power concern agreed to buy the plant for $250,000, and. the sale was confirmed more than a month ago by the commission, although a protest naa been filed by a group of minor lty shareholders of the trolley com pany, headed by William P. Boland. Service Protest Recalled Several years ago, Attorney Harry Mumiord, representing Clarks Summit borough, filed a complaint with the commission against the Abington concern, charging that it furnished inadequate service to the community which it supplied.

Dr. H. H. Crane, pastor of Elm Park church, and Syud Hossain, authority on Oriental matters, who consumed two hours In discussing the merits of marriage In its relation to the welfare of civilization, served to indicate that the gentle art of debating is not extinct Insofar as box office possibilities are concerned. A two man show that can draw 800 individuals on a fairly warm night rates well by comparison with some of the so called legitimate entertainments which attract the amusement seeking wayfarer these days.

Of course, the subject of the contention was an asset to start with. The weaknesses and virtues of modern marriage have come to be as much a topic of conversation as the weather, thanks to Betrand Russell, Ben Lindsey and a few of their colleagues and a debate founded on the opposing views concerning the benefit of conventional wedlock to the human race has a rather substantial drawing power. Winning a Dravd It Is a matter of record, of course, that the judges failed to award any Individual honors. Dr. Crane's argument that marriage as it is generally known and practiced is beneficial to civilization for the primary reason that It offers the best arrangements yet conceived for tne propagation of the race received no more credit from the learned arbiters than did Mr.

Hossain's contention that men and women have a right to live together as they see fit, without benefit of clergy. Dr. Crane was pleading for civilization, the nation and the College club. Mr. Hossain had little of a gamble.

He won when he lost for he was arguing chiefly for Mr. Hossain. But that is neither here nor there. The. Subject's the Thing What we started out to expound was that there is a field for debaters in this sector, provided they are furnished the proper subject.

No club seeking funds for its worthy, causes should, arrange a literary duel on the subject of Einstein's theories, tne Smoot Hawley tariff, the question of Independence for the Phillipines or the naval limitation Issue. Let it select the question with a little box office draw, and it can easily meet the overhead. Versatility There should be no scarcity of debaters, regardless of the issue Involved. There are plenty of willing orators prepared to take either or both sides of any question that may be raised, a fact which was adequately proved to us during the past month. We recall one of our local labor leaders, arguing loudly in behalf of the proposals to permit the establishment of a commercial amusement center in Nay Aug park, declare that he.

represented the thousands of toilers who sought the concession because it would give their wives and their children the sunlight and the air which they craved. And only few weeks later, the same in dividual, professing to represent the same people, argued even more loudly against the establishment of daylight and sunshine at the disposal of the people for whom he spoke. There need be no lack of debates when such versatile pleaders are available. Minnie Davie.

Federal Judge Albert L.

A fourth defendant, James Reedy, was absolved from any blame In connection with the affray by testimony given by a Harrisburg city patrolman. New Procedure In Bail Return Is Made Known Forfeitures of Bonds in Criminal Cases for Nonappearance of Defendants Will Not Be Removed Only in Exceptional Cases, Federal Authorities Announce Beginning at the next term of United States criminal court, a more rigid policy will be observed by federal authorities in remitting bailpleces forfeited by nonappearance of defendants when their cases are called for trial, it was made known yesterday afternoon during a prohibition violation hearing before Judge Albert L.

Watson. The plan, it is understood, has been decided upon by the federal district attorney's office In order to insure that persons under Indictment will not seek to avoid holding up disposition of their cases, a' procedure which has a tendency to Jam the trial lists. Under the present arrangement, bonds of persons In criminal suits are declared forfeited when defendants fall to appear in court for trial. Usually, however, the government allows the forfeiture to be removed when the defendant presents himself at the succeeding term and agrees to pay costs Involved in placing' and removing the lien. The new plan will do away with thlsJ government will agree to removing forfeitures only in cases' where exceptionally good reasons are advanced to explain why the defendants were not In court at the regular term.

Three forfeitures were removed in cases heard at the criminal term yesterday. P.F.ftM.T. Howley. 231 Wyoming An Plumbing HMtini. Sheet Metal Contractor.

Youth Gets Two Years, and Fine The three who pleaded guilty and the sentences imposed are: Aldo Mag nelli, 20, two years on each indictment and fined $600; Anthony Ca mlllo and Richard Christ, six months on each count and $200 fine each. The sentences will run concurrently. Magnelli will be removed to the Franklin county Jail a nd the two others will go to the York county prison.

All will be on probation for two years after their release. The attack on the agents took place while the officers were making an investigation in Harrisburg. In the government squad were Agents Clyde Fowler, William Schultz, Harold Lan gord, and Paul Anspach. Fowler was the most seriously He testified that he suffered the loss of four teeth; five stitches were required to close a wound on his face; his Jaw was fractured in addition to cuts and bruises about the neck, arms, and legs. He was confined to a hospital for several weeks.

Fired Shot Without Effect Fowler told court that two members of the squad had entered Reedy's saloon to make a "buy," and later left for another place nearby. After they left, he said. Reedy hurried from his place after the agents, and the next thing that he remembered was when he was pounced upon by several strangers. Fowler identified Magnelli and Christ as being among the mob. In an attempt to disperse the crowd, Anspach fired a shot into the air, breaking up the attack for the time, only to result in a deluge of stones and bricks.

Magnelli, Anspach said, exhorted the crowd to again attack the agents, shouting that he "would shoot it out with any prohibition officer." Led by Magnelli, the mob again swarmed around the detail and renewed its assault, Anspach testified. Photographs taken while the officers were confined to a hospital were introduced as testimony to show the manner in which they were beaten.
