VIRULENT ATTACK
ON TRADES UNIONS

Leeds. England. Oct. 2O.-The tenth
annual convention Of the labor associa-
ton opened here today. The delegates
represented 100000 worxmen.
President John Chandler made a
virulent attack on trades unionism.
He claimed that the growth of indus
trial freedom greatly tended toward
the diminution of strikes and declared
that trades union excess in violation OF
personal freedom was a disgrace to
labor in this country. Nothing could
more forcibly illustrate the intolerance
which perverted trades unionism than
the statement said to have been made
10 Rev. Charles Edwards. a Pennsyl-
vania clergyman. some time ago, by a
non-unionist, that striking coal miners
had threatened TO cut off the ears of
every man returning 10 work
IF British trades unionists do not
sympathiZe with these abominable
atrocities" the speaker added. why do
they vote $1,000 in aid Of the strikers
of America, who made such an in
famous threat?"

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 20.-The DISPOSE
ton to be made of Jim Younger's body
has not yet been determined. The body
has been embalmed and will be kept
here until Mrs. Ella Rollins OF Dallas.
Tex, sister OF the Younger brothers,
can be heard from. When alive.
Younger frequently expressed the wish
that his body be cremated when he
died This plan will be carried out.
The body may be cremated here or
taken 10 Kansas City before cremation.
The parents of the Youngers and
other deceased members of the family,
including Bob Younger. who died in the
state penitentiary, are buried in a
cemetery near Kansas City. Ultimately
Jim Younger's mortal remains will I'M
doubtedly rest in the family burial lot.
1t is not likely that Cole Younger will
be allowed to accompany his brother
body away from here because OF the
law governing his parole. The parole
forbids his leaving the state ana the
parole cannot be modified except at a
