TO EE TRIED OUT Says His Daughter Will Enter Into Contract With Young Man Child less Union. (Asortll Prom Leased Wire) KANSAS CITY, Nov. 21. Be- net Unit fear of economic respoitei . bilfly should not hamper marriage VimonK young people haw emmed E. . HuldemuuJulius, prominent Kan bus publisher and an tit or, to ap prove the wedding of his 38 year old (laughtpr to a youth of 20 on a companionate basis, he explained hi an announcement printed by Kansas City papers. The 38-year-old publisher who first gained prominence by distrib uting millions of booklets contain ing extracts from classical works at nominal prices, declared he be lieved his daughter, Josephine, would be better off married to the youth she loves than to await the time when they would be finan cially Independent. Josephine, a -junior in high school at Girnrd, Kansas, where her father's largo plant Is located, will finish her schooling there and then enter college, Mr. Haldeman JuIIuh said. The bridegroom, Au brey C. Uoselle, is a sophomore at tho University of Kansas. He is Ihu sou of II. A. Rosulle, Guard trenmery, owner. . While Mr. Haldeman-Julius did hot give a specific definition of his conception of a "companionate union," he explained that neither of tho young people will assume uny financial responsibility. "They will go and come largely ns (hey please," his announcement said, "meeting In either of their pnrental homes, attending their different schools. If the union proves satisfactory and love con tinues between thtni, an ordlnury marriage will result. Otherwise a divorce will sever the relation. "In case of children, however, the union would be a 'family inar-i rlage," he said. He believed this; would place economic responsibil ity on the parents. Me added that! ho expected "the union would go forward on a childless basis until it was proved permanent." "I am attacking the notion that marriage spells the beginning of life's hard economic battle for youngsters. They are old enough , to marry long before they are old enough to get Into the world's work. In many cases," he con cluded. Mrs. Hnldeman-Jullus, In a state ment to the Kansas City Star, said she wished to distinguish between tho confusion existing in the pub lic mind between a marriage on aj MAR G companionate basis anil tne so called "trial marriage" which she declared was exactly the opposite. "Josephine and Aubrey certainly are going into it In all earnestness and with full Intention of making a life long success of it," Mrs. Haldeman-Julius said at her home In Girnrd. 1 "One hesitates to use tho term 'companionate marriage only be cause It so often nnd wilfully is mfsunderslno:! and likely to be confused in the public mind with trial marriage, which Is exactly the opposite. "Any marriage in which neither husband nor wife assume all the financial responsibility is, strictly speaking, a companionate mar riage. There are thousands of them In this country today, par-j tfcularly among young people in! business, but they hnve not yet be come as frequent as one would desire in our colleges.

A terror Ism uh barbaric as any In the cata log of crime terrorism that com mits mayhem, disabling its vic tims for life has been uncovered iu the police Investigation of wild cat labor racketeering. Underworld hoodluiuism, grown lenn In the cramped and crowded fields of bootlegging, rum running, und gambling, has turned, lu some Instances which the police have found, to the more lucrative sphere of "wildcat" orgunlzlng Into unions of small tradesmen, itinerant deul ors und others. Tho police are confident that John P. McLaughlin, an officer of the dental laboratories, Mechanics' Union, who was shot by a police man Friday night after walking in to a police trap, went into tho "labor rucket" when money got scarce in the liquor trade. Mc Laughlin, they said, became a la bor racketer .only recently, after leaving the service of Victor Mc Erlane, listed as one of the Chi cago "beer baronB'." McLaughlin and Henry Atlles, president of the Mechanics' Union, confessed, police said, that they were waiting In a dark alloy "to break all the bones In John Ko masa's hands, so ho could not 'scab' any more" Komasa'a name was on one of three cards hidden behind a pic ture ou the wall of the union head quarters These three, according to Walter O. Wulker, a special assis tant slate's attorney, who has been conducting the investigation, were , "marked fur muyhem" by the rack-1 elurd. Their finger were to have i been battered so that they cduld no longer do their work, Walkori said. Mayhem, as a terrorism weapon, 1 has evolved, the police pointed out, from slugging, window smashing and bombing, all three of which' have been employed by outlaw or ganizers seeking to force stubborn : workmen and tradesmen to join their organization. "Slugging? were used at first to fill the ranks," Walker said. "This proving Ineffectual, window smash ing was employed, and then bomb ing. Property damage by window breaking or bombing usually prov ed only a temporary scare. More often than not, the damaged projH erty was not owned by the man the organizers sought to intimi date. "Tho records of men now found in the various 'racket' show that many of thorn started out as petty pollco characters, went Into boot legging when money was to be made, and now are In the profit able racketer movement. The rec ord of McLaughlin is typical of many others." McLaughlin probably will recov er, lie was shot when he tried to escape the police net.
