CHARGES FINANCIERS
CAUSED FATAL RIOTS

Youngstown, O., Jan. l2.-That the
fatal rioting here last week was a
financial scheme to depress the value
Of stock OF the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company, so that a merger OF In.
dependent steel interests could be ef.
fected, was charged in a statement
made public by Thomas Fl. Flynn.
general organizer of the American
Federation of Labor. Flynn returned
here from Plttsburg.
I'VE have evidence that we regard
as conclusive proving to us that this
entire trouble was caused by paid
singers, brought to East Youngstown
by the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
company" Mr.. Flynn charged In the
statement.
The gunner who did the shooting
were residents Of Pittsburg. We I'm.
derstand that these gunner, twenty.
five In number. were deputized by
Sheriff Umstead. If this is so the
sheriff violated the law"

BEGGARS OFlCHINA
MILLIONS OF THEM, DIRTY, RE-
PULSINE, BANDED INTO
UNIONS.

Homer Croy in Leslie's Weekly /
had always heard that there were lots
of beggars in China, but had no
idea that China was squirmlng with
them. | don't know how many there
are, but If | were asked to guess I'd
say a million. Dirty, ragged, drool-
ing wretches they are, mumbling
the same words ove and over, and
pushing right up against you until
your stomach begins TO culver. One
could stand their dirty, ragged cloth
ing, but their awful sores make one
positively sick.
They pride themselves on their
sores, carefully keeping the wounds
open. IL brings them trade; ii soft
ems the purse. Year In and year out
the beggars watch over their sores,
suffering the intensest pain rather
than work.
There are three kinds of beggars in
China. The local beggars, who live
In the town they prey on; the travel
ing beggars, who journey from VII
lage to village; religious beggars,
who, according to their religion, have
to become travelling beggars for a
certain number of years in order to
attain the right humility. | can think
OF nothing hat would gain a person
humility quicker than begging in
China and sleeping on mats by the
side of the road. This kind can be
told by the white spots on top of
their heads. could hardly believe 1t
when | was told how these spots
were made-by dropping hot lead on
their heads.
The number of beggars In a small
town Is surprising. In one small
town that | lived In for a while there
were 500 local beggars. These. with
the hundreds that flocked in for a
few days or a week at a time. kept
the town so we'll supplied that the
people were never pinched for some
one to throw pennies to.
A person cannot become a beggar
In China by simply putting on old
clothes and going out with his palm
turned up; he has to serve an appren-
ticeship just as he would in any other
trade. The beggars have unions. In
credible as 1t may seem. in every
town or village is a beggar guild. all
banded together for the common pur-
pose of making people pay. This is
the way they go about 1t:
Each town has its head of the
guild. or beggar chief. called the Nah
Dozen. His word is law. The Kah
Dozen goes TO a merchant and tells
him that unless he pays him money it
will go hard with him. III the mer-
chant says that he won't be bluffed,
a few days later. when the merchant
has his store full OF fashionable GUS
toners, In will troop a dozen beggars,
diseased and scabbed, crowding up
against the customers. There are so
many that the merchant cant put
them out; the customers run from
the store. and the poor merchant
loses many sales.

sive party here, emphasized the need
of preparedness, not alone in material
ways but of the soul and spirit OF the
citizens OF the nation.
II send you my hearty greetings
said the message. 1--WE as a country
are facing a great world crisis. In
which for the last eighteen months
this nation has fallen far short OF It's
duty both to its own people and 10
the lawabiding and justice loving ma.
tions of mankind.
There is a crying need that we
shall cast aside all purely partisan
considerations and disregard all but
the vital Issues affecting the national
life and shall strive wholeheartedly
for a sound Americanism which shall
insist that every man who Is within
our borders shall be an American and
nothing else.
Preparedness Best Guarantee.
1--WE must do justice to our own
people at home; we must insist on
the most thoroughgoing preparedness
to protect our rights against all posi-
BILE attacks by any aggressors. Such
preparedness is the best guarantee OF
any honorable peace"
The opening session was informal
and open. Discussion of the time
and place for holding the national col
vention OF the party developed prac
tically unanimous opinion hat IL
should be convened in Chicago. There
was some difference Of opinion, how
ever, as to the date. William Allen
White or Kansas favored June Z
which would make the convention CO
incident with the Republican national
convention here, and several Others
supported this view.
Others proposed June IA or later
and a few thought the party should
meet before the Republicans. The
question will be settled at an execu
