Silver by thu j ton, gold by the hundredweight, pearls i by the bushel, and diamonds by the peek, (liniH'd into wooden boxes, jute sacks, pasteboard carton or merelv wrapped in Them parcels, all this treasure hoard awaits opening and sorting at the storehouse for valuables confiscated ly the soviet Gov ernment from the churches unit synana gogues of Russia for the benefit of the famine sufferers. The correspondent of The Associated (By The Associated Tress.) CHICAGO, May 15. Kijflit labor men indicted on murder charges in con nection with Chicago.! labor nyr will have preliminary hearings today before Ki kliam Hcnnlon, chief justice of the criminal courts. Their attorneys have been instructed to ask for habeas corpus writs, thus forcing the state, if it wishes, to hold them without bail, to produce evidence upon which hanging verdicts are to be asked for the "big three" labor lead ers " Big Tim'' Murphy, Con Shea, and Fred Mader. To support their demand for release on bail the labor leaders will be represented by a strong array of legal talent. For this purpose it is alleged by Hen ry Barret Chamberlain, of the Chicago crime commission, the labor men are equipped with a million dollar "slush fund." Police and states attorneys connected with the ease a-sert they have sufficient evidence to warrant continued confine incut of the indicted men without bail. "We have established that those i gainst whom murder indictments hav been lodged actually engaged in a coi. spiracy to commit crimes out of whir killings occurred," Mr. Chamberlain said. "We have three astounding con fessions. " Alleged tactics employed by Fred Ma der in obtaining the presidency of the building trades' council were bared to day by members of that organization who asserted that many members, said to be antagonistic to Milder, were kept away by sluggers from the meeting at which he was elected. Fewer than one third of the members of. the organiza tion were present when Mader was elected, they allege. They have not ta ken part in the council meetings since then, they declare The building strike scheduled by Ma der for next Monday and involving ti."i, 000 men, has unofficially been called off, it is said. The strike ballot was 1o have been knitted to the 3L' allied unions of the city for a referendum vote. The men Were asked to go out on a strike as a protest against the open shop, declared In the 12 trades blacklisted by the citi zens' committee, an nrgu nint ion-t o en force the Landis' wage award, a deris ion handed down by K M . Landis, former Federal judge, then acting as arbiter, which was intended to settle .differences between contraetirs and 'members of the building trades council. None of the unions has voted on the question and leaders asserted yes terday that no vote would be taken un til tiic council had been reorganized and men of clean records put in charge. I'ress was permitted to visit the five story loft building which constitutes the store- ! house, by consent of M. I. Kalcnin, i peasant president of Russia, and head of j all the famine relief Organizations. One floor of the building, about 100 feet long, and 4"i feet widde, is already nearly filled with the articles confiscated i in Moscow alone, these mounting to more j than i)li,ii(Ml ounds of silver, several hun- ; dred pounds of gold and over ten thous- and precious stones, mostly diamonds. Requisitioned articles from the provincial churches lire to ibe stored on the other four'HooTs. Kadi' of the 6-i packages in this big achi m room is sealed and they are stacked in tiers reaching almost to the ceiling. The yiefd from some of the monasteries was too large for a single package, overflow ing into ginaller boxes stacked' beside them. , A rough list of the articles confiscated accompanies each box as it is brought, under heavy guard, to the storehouse, but the exact value only will be known when appraisers open the parcels' and sort their contents. These experts, and also the workmen who will unpack the boxes, are to be stripped of their ordi- i mwy clothing and provided with pocket -i leN suits when tle task of sorting begins. J Motor trucks fairly lirist ling with buy onets of the soldier escorts drive up to I the treasure house all through the day and i night, 'bringing boxes from the churches, j From the outer gates to the roof, the ; 'building swarms with guards. To get I permission to enter it at all, one must i first visit another building where some ! other state treasures are stored, and I where soldiers, even prevent pedestrians from walking on the side of the street on which the building fronts.
