NORWOOD, Mass. — A
nationwide bulletin was out
Tuesday for a bogus nurse who
burst into a hospital emergency
room brandishing a gun and
freed her husband — a shackled
killer with “nothing to lose,” au
thorities said.
The couple, identified as
Leroy and Kathleen Chasson,
escaped in a getaway car in a hail
of bullets Monday from the Nor
wood Hospital parking lot after
the convict ripped out his in
travenous needles and bounded
from a stretcher as his wife held
up 10 people in the emergency
room, police said.
He had been transported to
the hospital from the maximum
security Walpole State Prison
for treatment of apparently self-
inflicted puncture wounds, state
police said.
Police said a woman stayed in
the hospital Monday morning,
allegedly looking for her injured
son, but really waiting for Chas-
son, 33, to arrive via ambulance
from nearby Walpole State Pris
on where he was serving a life
sentence for a 1977 stabbing
slaying in Quincy.
When Chasson arrived at the form appeared, polict
hospital, he was taken to an Chasson had reportedto

Labor Day crowds large
TEXAS A&tf

Hundreds of thousands of
American workers staged the
largest show of labor unity in de
cades on Labor Day’s 100th
anniversary, blasting President
Reagan for spurring the highest
unemployment since World
War 11. One man was killed and
two wounded at a New York
observance.
Chicago held its first labor
parade in 30 years and one mar
cher carried a cardboard skele
ton dad in a paper bag with the
legend “Victim of Reagan’s
Budget Cuts.”
“Chicago’s a labor town,” one
International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers marcher
;ud. “You believe in something,
you’ve got to support it.”
The Labor Day tradition
started by a Paterson, N.J.,
machinist and a New York car
penter in 1882 was renewed by
hundreds of thousands of mar
ching trade-union members in
parades and rallies nationwide.
Some union leaders said Pres
ident Reagan’s economic poli
cies have built unemployment to
a post-World War II high of 9.8
percent and threaten to disrupt
or destroy the labor movement.
AFL-CIO leader Lane Kirk
land helped dedicate a statue of
Samuel Gompers, an early lead
er of the labor movement, at the
Alamo in San Antonio.
“This precious and perishable
asset, what Gompers called the
‘womanhood and manhood of
American workers,’ is being
squandered by an administra
tion that knows the price of ev
erything in dollars and the price
of nothing in human value,”
Kirkland said.
More than 500 unions were
represented by the estimated
150,000 union members who
rode floats and marched in New
York’s 100th annual Labor Day
parade. Spectators waved bril
liant banners, held multicolored
balloons and wore buttons and
hats indicating the particular
union to which they belonged.
“This is the beginning of the
second century of the labor
movement,” said Sen. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan, D.-N.Y., who
led the Manhattan march along
with Mario Cuomo, a candidate
for governor. “And this labor
movement is very much alive.”
Robert Voorhies, president of
Central Indiana’s labor council
and organizer of a sparsely
attended, rain-hampered In
dianapolis parade, charged “the
administration’s current econo
mic policies have produced a
nationwide trend of union-
busting attempts.” It was the ci
ty’s first Labor Day parade in 40
years.
In Detroit, Thomas Turner,
local AFL-CIO official, said
labor was in a position to turn
things around in the country.
“We can’t change the mistake
we made in 1980. We can’t retire
Ronald Reagan, but we can re
tire his supporters,” Turner said
to an enthusiastic audience,
urging them to vote.
another 2,500 in the fourth
month of a bitter strike.
“It’s been a lousy year,” said
Perry Chapin, president of the
South-Central Iowa Federation
of Labor.
