INSTRUCTION OF
ALIENS URGED
Steps Are Taken to Educate
European Immigrants at
Washington, D. G.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 20.-Great
!ly increased school facilities are to
be provided this fall for the instruc
tion of foreignborn residents of the
United States, and especially for alien
candidates for citizenship. During the
last scholastic year the public school
authorities of approximately $50 cities
and towns in "A states of the Union
were cooperating with the Bureau of
Naturalization of the U. S. Depart
mentof Labor in this branch of its
educational activity. According to in
formation thus far received by the
bureau, nearly 100 others have sig
nified their intention of joining in the
movement, and all indications now
point to most gratifying record for
the 1867 school year.
1t is the 0esire of the Bureau of
Naturalization that public school night
classes be installed wherever the need
exists for the education and Ameri-
canization of foreigners. This field of
operation of the public schools is not
limited to those who have applied for
naturalization. 1t is intended to in
clude all foreign-born residents whose
instruction in English and civics
would, beyond question result not
only in great personal benefit to
themselves, but would be of signal
advantage to the city in which they
reside and, logically, to the nation as
we'll
That the cost of the establishment
and maintenance of such schools is
relatively small as compared with the
great good accomplished, is con-
vincingly shown by reports received
from the public school authorities who
co-operated with the Bureau of Natu-
ralization last year. With this in
view, the bureau is urging the super
intendents of schools all over the
country TO insert in their municipal
budget for next year an item provid
ing funds TO cover the expense of
carrying on this public night school
work.

Greeting:
The Actors InternationalNUnio an

the inclosed circular for the informa-

conferences you may hold with the
representatives of the White Rats

We would refer your central body to
the New York Central Federated

tion and standing of the Actors Inter-

all agreements with the former White

Labor through it's president and other
national officers have been engaged
in trying to regulate the situation in

all the funds of that order in a club
house situated in New York City,
which investment is a proven criminal
transaction.
The Actors International Union
refuse to further confer with the
White Rats Actors Union for the
purpose of creating an entire new
national organization for the reason
that the White Rats refuse to allow
any person but their international sec
retary to speak and act for them.
While he was with us in our fight for
justice for over four years, we have
found at this time that he is of the
class of men that should not be en-
titled to the respect and confidence
of the wage earners of this country.
We hold the inclosed proofs of his
depression from the straight and hon
orable path of trades unionism, and
while we are willing to meet at any
time or place at the direction of the
A. F. of l.. any person or persons who
are working to bring about an under
standing that will assist the theatrical
performers of this country, we refuse
to do any further business with one,
Harry Mountford, creator of de-
structive organizations for pay.
We ask that you demand of the
White Rats Actors Union and Harry
Mountford the proofs that he is not
guilty, as charged, failing to do so
that your honorable body refuse to
transact any business with any ocm-
mittee that of which he may be part.
Respectfully and fraternally yours,
HARRY DE VEAUX, President.

SPECIAL MEETING

Claiming that the police and sheriff
departments exercised undue dis.
elimination in recent strike trouble,
particularly the trouble between the
shingle weavers at the Cargo mill
last Saturday, the Central Labor
Council held a meeting last Monday
night and completed details for a mass
meeting of organized labor last night
at City Park.
Feeling against the authorities ran
high during the meeting and in
answer to the check of $25 presented
the Shingle Weavers' Union by Sheriff
McRae at the beginning of the present
strike the members of the Labor
Council raised subscription of $34,
of which sum $25 will be returned to
the sheriff in answer to the check A
committee was appointed to visit local
unions with view of levying an as
sessment of 25 cents per day against
union men to assist in maintaining
the shingle weavers' strike.
The following resolution was
adopted
"To the General Public of Everett:
Whereas, the organized workers
are being Disseminated against by
the authorities of the City of Everett
and the sheriff's office of Snohomish
County, by openly winking at violence
on the part of imported strikebreakers
and professional thugs, but deny the
striking workmen the same protec-
tion afforded the strikebreakers, and
Whereas, organized labor only de-
sires to exercise our constitutional
rights and be accorded the protection
that the law allows, therefore be it
Resolved, That we inform the Of

Resolved, That we condemn the
actions of the Everett police depart

ditions that exist on the waterfront.

CAT FISH AND DUCKS
IN BATTLE ROYAL

ATLANTA, Ga, April 8.-Did you
ever see a fight between cat fish and
a duck? 1t is a great sight. Any day
you want to take loaf of bread to the
Chattahoochie River bridge, near At
lanta, and throw it overheard to the
flock of ducks in the river you can see
battle royal.
When farmer, living near the
bridge, placed the ducks in the river h.
didn't realize that he would have all
the cat fish in that vicinity to feed, but
the cat fish have their communicating
system in working order and when a
piece of bread is thrown over the rail
of the bridge to the ducks below it is a
grand race between fish and fowl fo~
the honor of gobbling the food.
There are nearly eighty ducks in the
flock now that swim around the piers
OF the bridge and each day sees a few
more added to the collection. Auto
mobilist and other visitors who go to
the river bridge have been very good
about helping the farmer with the
feed question and especially the little
children, who seem to take a keen de-
light in bringing the remains of their
school lunch for the ducks.
The question worrying the farmer
now is how to get rid of the fish. They
follow the ducks around and the min
ute piece of bread is thrown in the
water there is splash and a futter
nd hundreds of cat fish rise to the sur
face in an attempt to get the food.
Often, as they grab little piece and
are ready to dive below the surface,
one of the ducks, little holder than
the rest, will start chase after the
fish and does not hesitate to dive for
the prize. The fish have way of COM
ing to the surface and sticking their
upper fins in the duck, and when this
happens the fowl usually gives jump
and squawk and goes sailing in the
air.

ATLANTA FEELS THE
MANY
BLIND T|GERSTH

ATLANTA, Ca, April S.-Thomas B.
Fielder, general counsel for the Anti
Saloon League of Georgia, has just
completed in the recorders court of
Atlanta and bound over to the higher
courts the most extensive and far
reaching blind tiger prosecutions ever
undertaken in this city.
1t was disclosed in the trial of the
cases, which involved more than a
score of defendants, that there has
been in operation in Atlanta vast
system of distributing liquor by the
wholesale and retail through the med
ium of dummy concerns advertising
themselves under the name of "mer-
chandise brokers" and various other
titles.
The scheme followed was substan-
tally as follows:
The agent of a wholesale whiskey
dealer in Chattanooga or some other
nearby city across the state line would
open an Office in an office building and
hang out this sign as a merchandise
broker
The whiskey dealer would ship
wholesale quantities of whiskey to
the dealer in assorted kinds and sizes
and mail the bills of lading SO fixed
that they could be filled out with any
names desired.
individuals, blind tigers, clubs and
others desiring to purchase whiskey,
in any quantity from a gallon up to a
complete retail stock would go to the
agent and pay their money, receive
from the agent the bills of lading fill
ed out in their names and the purchas-
ers would then present their bills of
lading at the freight depot where the
liquor was stored and get what they
paid for, fi
Numerous variations were introduc-
ed from time to time In some cases
the bill of lading would be filled out
in the name of a negro drayman, who
would obtain the whiskey and deliver
it to the purchaser, the latter having
first paid his money to the "merchan-
disc broker"
Books of banks brought into court
disclosed that the so-called "merchan-
disc brokers" had RENTED thousands
Of dollars to various wholesale liquor
dealers whom they represented. Search
Of their offices revealed stacks of bills
Of lading ready to be filled out in the
names of purchasers. Search of rail
road freight depots unearthed enor-
nous quantities of liquor waiting to be
delivered to whomsoever might pre-
sent bills of lading.
Attorney Fielder worked up evidence
through detectives assigned to him by
the police department, Interpretations
being directed by him and their testi-
money being used whenever needed in
tn trial of the cases. He did not fail
to secure a conviction in a single case
"A feature of the prosecutions that
caused widespread local comment was
the fact that the blind tigers were de-
Tended by the two leading candidates
