Apr. 2 Labor's counterpart to big business American Liberty league was launched today in a new organization titled "Labor's Non-Partisan league." George L. Berry, new deal coordinator for industrial cooperation, beads the new organization designed to organize support for President Roosevelt's reelection. "The organization of labor's nonpartisan league that has for its 193 purpose the reelection of Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency cf the United States, comes as a result of a very general request upon the part of labor throughout the nation," Berry said in a formal statement.

Whether the organization would be continued beyond the 1336 campaign was not revealed, but Berry said he would not be "surprised" if it did. John Ll Lewis. United Mine Workers president, one of the org-aniztrs, has been mentioned in labor circles as a possible presidential candidate in Berry said organizations would be set up in every state, and that state conferences would be held during the summer.

TIRES LABOR ORGANIZES WAKE OF GAME THAT COST FARMER S550; One Criminal Comprint, Two Civil Suits Now Pending in County Court i As a sequel to the incident which occurred one day last January when, under pretense of making arrangements with him to keep some horses for him their farm, three strangers got Leo Janicek. Butler county farmer, into a card game here and departed with $550 of his money. County Attorney" Dougherty has filed a complaint in county court charging one J.

R. Hoggard with having played in a confidence game known as "Stripper a form of three-card monte." The complaint was drawn under a Nebraska statute which expressly forbids the dealing of "three-card monte." It win be remembered that after the game and while the strangers were taking him back to his farm home in the nice, new Plymouth sedan which cne of them was driving. Janicek became suspicious, turned off the ignition, pulled the key, threw it in the snow near the electric light plant on Twenty -seventh avenue, hopped from the car, and notified the police. While Deputy Sheriff Staroscik and Traffic Officer Nickolite didnt find the three strangers, who had hurriedly left the scene. Staroscik found the car-key in the snow, and Sheriff Kavanacgh has since been holding the car impounded in a local garage.

The only clew to the identity of any of the three strangers was the name of J. Hoggard, Kansas City, on the registration certificate in the car. Hoggard has never returned to Columbus to claim the car. But the Local Finance company, of Kansas City, holding a chattel mortgage on the car for $530. said to be its full value, has instituted a replevin action in county court here, seeking to replevin the car from Sheriff Kavanaugh.

The sheriff is resisting the action on the contention that it was an instrument used in commission of a crime and is being held as evidence in the case. Also in the meantime. Janicek has filed a suit in county court against Hogard for return of his money and has asked a writ of attachment against the car to make sure hell get the money if he gets the judgment. If the finance company gets the car under its mortgage, Janicek can whistle for his money. ASK GOVERNOR FOR SPAN IMPROVEMENT Lincoln, Apr.
