CHICAGOAI 'NOT CLEAR'
ON WHAT COUNCILMAN
SAID OF BRIBE-SEEKER
Sears-Roebuck Manager, Over Long-Distance Tele
. phone, Asserts City Official Did Not Ask Him
for Cash or Advertising
MAYOR AND SMYTH CONFER; R0TAN IS BEING
KEPT INFORMED OF SCANDAL.DEVELOPMENTS
Councilman Alexis J. LinTctamcr never' askcrl him cither for money
ft advertisinc to get tho Roosevelt boulevard ordinance through Council,
A, B. Schmidt, eastern manager of Scars, Roebuck & Co., asserted today
lit Chicago.
Thomas E. Mitten, president of tho Rapid Transit Co.,'.tcstiTying
yesterday beforo Council's self-investigating committee, quoted Schmidt
us telling him Limeburner had .advised payment of the $25,000 "tribute"
nggested by a mysterious "Rosonbach" or "Roscnbcrgcr."
"Do you deny Mr. Mitten told the truth?" Schmidt was asked over
tho long-distance telephone this mornirfg.
"I vrill not say so," replied Mr. Schmidt.
Visit Only Friendly Call'
When Schmidt testified under oath at the committee's firet hearing,
Jie told of the "mystery man's" visit to him. Replying to a question ho
declared no councilmnn had approached him in the matter.
He said Mr. Limeburner was the only councilman who had called on
him individually, but that the visit was merely a friendly call.
Mr. Schmidt today was asked two direct questions.
"Did Councilman Limeburner ask you for money?"
"He did not," replied Mr. Schmidt.
"Did Councilman Limeburner ask you for advertising?"
"He did not." , v
Director Cortelyou has said that Limeburner told him this was the
object of his call. ,
Mr. Schmidt was extremely reluctant to answer questions. "I gave
my testimony," he said, "under oath and I am through."
Will Return When Wife Recovers
"Will you return to Philadelphia and again appear before the Council
committee?"
"I will," was tho reply, "when my wife recovers from her illness."
"How soon do you expect Mrs. Schmidt to recover sufficiently for you
to come to Philadelphia?"
"Well, it will be at least four or five weeks. She has just undergone
an operation on her throat."
"Mr.-SchmidtMjv"Mitton..sayB41mt you told him that Councilman
Limeburner advised you to do what the mysterious man asked for in
exchango for tho passage of the Roosevelt boulevard ordinance."
"I gave my testimony" was the reply, "under oath. I cannot be re
sponsible for what Mr. Mitten's understanding! is of my conversation with
him."
"Do you deny that Mr. Mitten told tho truth?'"
"I will not say so," replied Mr. Schmidt.
"Did you tell allelic truth to the Council committee?"
"I did," was the answer.
"Then," he was asked, ''now do you account for what Mr. Mitten says
you told him?"
Recollection Not Clear
"My recollection," replied Mr; Schmidt, "is not clear as to just what
Mr. Limeburner said in regard to'tho call of the mysterious stranger."
"Mr. Mitten Kflys. he advised you to
i your lawyer, Ocorge Wharton rep
rr; did you do so?"
"I did not talk with any attorney,"
replied Mr. Schmidt. Again Mr. Schmidt
was asked, what l.imcburner had said
to him with reference te the "mystery
tnnY' demand for .$2oi00p.
"I don't recall," was the reply.
it was then pointed out that "Mr.
Mitten appeared to have recalled clear
ly jim what Schmidt had told him about
the Limeburner advice.
"Mr Mitten," said Schmidt, "may
liaie n certain undcrtaundinj; of what
I said. 1 j;ao my testimony under
oath and I am uot vcsponsihle for any
pne' undeifctamliuB of What 1 said to
Mm"
At one poiut in the conversation, Sir,
Sehtnidt ej.iculnted :
"I dou't care what was said," with
retard to Mr. Mitten's testimony.
"Did jou hold hnck. anything from
the Council committee?" v
"No, T did not," he replied.
The long-distance conversation was
terminated when Mr. Schmidt naid :
'Say, how long is this going to
last?"
Re was asked if by that he meant the
fonveatlon then in progress. Then
Jte connection with Chicago was
wVen.

his revolver and watched. As his eyes
became more nccustonted to thc intense
darkness, Koy saw two men standing
near me noor of the shop. A few min
utes Inter two more men, came out with
tires thrown over their shoulders.
The tires were thrown In the cnr. the
chgltie of which was kept running and
all four men jumped In. Just ns the
driver was about to start, Hoy jumped
out and ordered the men to throw up
their hands.
A derisive laugh was their answer
and was followed by a fusillade of shots.
Pullets Miss Mark
The thieves then turned tho car
sharply -and drove sootlr nn Germnn
town avenue. Tho policeman nulekly
jumped on his horse and gave chase.
Two or three vehicles coming in the
opposite direction made tho fleeing rob
,bers turns out several times. Ray was
gradually gaining on them. When he
was" within fifty j arils they opened fire
on him. Several bullets came close
to the policeman, but all ihisscd their
mark.
Roy fired several shots In return. lie
noticed a 'moment Inter that the occu

There were out three men In sight

said :
"What is tho future of Hog Island?
"It has been definitely decided that
tho city will not take it over. The
state likewise declines to rai-e money

an investment for private capital.
"I know, and can asure you, that

been put forth to accomplish the pur
chase of Hog Island from the L'nitcd

without success.
"Delay, indecision and a seeming re

"There the matter of a great terminal

MEN'S RIGHT TO FORM
UNIONS IS RECOGNIZED
Voluntary Plan of Second Labor
Conference to Settle Dis-
. putes Given Approval
Ily tho Associated Press
Washington, May 14. "The princi
ple of individual freedom requires the
open shop," Herbert Iioover declared
today In testifying before the Scnntc
labor committee at hearings ou proposed
legislation for the settlement of indus
trial unrest.
Mr. Iioover. who was a member of
President Wilson's second industrial
conference, said he did not believe the
relationship between employers nnd
employes could be settled "by any form
of legnl repression, whether it lie by
injunction, compulsory arbitration or
industrial courts."
"Fundamentally." he declared, "all
such effort lends inevitably to the use of
jails as a solution for disputes ns to re
spective participation of labor and capi
tal in industrial profit", and proceeds
swiftly toward compulsory labor, or
compulsory wages, or martyrdom,
Admits Right to Organic
"Xo one doubts that tho modern con
solidation of the employers over largo
units of employes gives eery justifi
cation and right for the organization of
the employes similarly into iiniN for
the exerting of rnunlit.v in bargaining
powers. Such organization has a right j
to present its own representatives in i
bargaining. On the other hand, there
should bo no compulsion to join such nu
organization. The principle of indi-1
vldual freedom requires the open shop." j
Jlr. JJoovcr heartily npproveii tle
plan of the second industrial conference
for' voluntnry settlement of labor
troubles through co-operative agree
ment. "It nvoid the pitfalls." he said. "To
")' mind it is the best nnd only step to
)P taken until the whole broad question
between employer nnd employe has de
i eloped,"

Iioover if he knew what thc President
thought.
"I have not thc remotest idea." lie
replied.
Senator Jones wanted to know it labor
had not been disturbed by excessive
profits.
"It has," replied Mr. Hoover, "but
it is difficult to say how far this has
helped to cause industrial unrest, nor
witbtjio rising cost of living.
"There is no question ns to the enor
mous increase in profits, but what
weight is to be given this requires very

On .Mn f .tTi, m I

Hoover said a distinction should be

whether thc strike mny develop into a
jiuiiiicm yyuupuu, iiuv cui iitiiny mile lias
not been the case in the United States."
Iiijunctiou Poor Solution
"Tlftro nro some things yyliich under
lie the whole relationship between capi
tal and lnbor," ho declared. "I don't
believe this relationship can be set
tled by injunction, ns this leads to the"
jails as the attempted solution of dis
putes. .
"Collective Bargaining must tnke the
form of an agreement as to standards
and conditions of labor. It is not nn
agreement ns to employment on either
side. Collective hargalnlug cannot
stand if there is to be a constant viola
tion of confidence."
Asked about the Kansas industrial
lnyv", Mr. Hoover said it might develop
something of benefit to the entire coun
try, but thnt his own view wus that it
could not buccecii.
Mr. Hoover thought it was almost
impossible to legislate ns to bfturs of
labor. nges, no said, siiouui toke into
account tho cost lof food, clothing,
housing, education, snvings and tho en.
joyment of all benefits of the civiliza

(.
HOOVER'S VIEWPOINT ON LABOR
The principle of individual freedom requires the "open shop."
Tho Kansns industrial law cannot prove n success.
Court Injunction is a poor solution of the disputes between labor and
capltnl. - v
fOollcctivo bargaining cannot stand nlong with constant violation of
confidence
Proflt-shnring should not bo used to hold down n mnu's pay.

that a public inquiry would reveal dc"
