Colorful Chicago
Labor Chief Dies
CHICAGO, March 6.— P—Steve
Sumner, 95, one of Chicago’s most
colorful labor union leaders until
his retirement in 1939 died last
night after a long illness
Sumner one of the founders and
for more than 35 years an official
of the AFL milk wagon drivers
union, during the late 1920’s and
early 1930‘s had fought the old
Capone and other gangs which he
accused of trying to gain control of
.the union
Sumner’s union office was eon
verted into a veritable fortress,
with guns, bullet proof glass and
guards. He similarly fortified his
South Side home and he drove
around in an armored automobile
once owned by Samuel Insull, the
late utilities magnate
In 1931, Robert G Fitchie, the
union president, was kidnaped and
Sumner said he paid $30,000 ran-
som to Murray Humphreys, one
time Capone lieutenant, and
George (Red) Barker, gangster
since slain, for his release The U
S circuit court of appeals in 1942 ___
held that the 1931 taxable income r
of Humphreys included an unde-
clared $50,000 he allegedly receiv-
ed as a kidnap ransom payment

OIL-PLATED engine!
You want an eyeful of 1946 style. . . . And you're taking in
many an earful on chassis features. . . . And you can have
an OIL-PLATED engine—a wear-fighterl—by saying one
mouthful. . . . Just say you want Conoco Nth motor oil—
because you want minimum carbon and sludge, plus fat
milcage. Those gains depend largely on wear-resistance, and
that’s what Oil Plating is for. Here is how it works . ..
In any make of new car—or equally well in your old car—
OIL-PLATING will make an addition to inner engine sur-
faces. That’s where it's fastened durably—across the path
of wear- by Conoco Nth oil's magnet like action. This power
to Oil-Plate and protect comes from the added Conoco
Nth ingredient. It will add to the safety of your new car
investment. ... It will add to your veteran car's chances!
