TEN THOUSAND CHARGES By
THE GOVERNMENT.

Chicago, Oct. 3.--Whether an organiza-

and whether members of an organization
Can stay on a strike when that strik,,
was initiated before the war started. are
the two paramount issues between the
United States government and the 166
! indicted members of the l. w. W., ac-
cording to Otto Christensen, attorney
for the latter organization. He is in
Chicago today investigating the charges
against the l. w. W.. and preparing for
the legal battle which will open soon.
| Sweeping denial of each of the ten
thousand charges named in the indict-
ment was made by Christensen, who as
serted the chief point at issue is whether
the l. w. w. members are within the
law in promulgating strikes during war
time.
The government charges cannot

The charge that German money has
been backing the organization is ridicu-

Another excerpt from the book sent
by Haywood to Duluth said:

scabby soldiers to come and bake the
bread.
"The bread will be uneatable. because
the stove will give the bread for at
least a month the foul odor of the sub
stance they have absorbed. Result: A
useless oven"
How to Paralyxe Railroads.
The Haywood book suggests as a
means to paralyze railroads:

a manner which is widely productive
for the cypress belt.
Several hundred Of the great cyl
indrical feed containers were erect
ed by the Coons Silo Company dur
ing 1917 and the manager is PLAN
ming to triple his output during
1913. Coming under the head Of
conservation Of feedstuffs, the silo
manufacturers are given preferred
accommodations in the matter of
shipments, both for manufacturing
purposes and for the finished prod
uct when ordered by the stockmen
who use them. Most of the output
from the Patterson factory has been
sold in states other than Louisiana,
and the northern states where dairy
ing is handled on an intense scale
has been the best market. Indica-
lions now are that there will also be
a great silo demand throughout the
Southern and Western States and a
great many silos from Patterson will
probably be erected within hun
dred-mile radius of the factory.
The people Of the Parish as we'll
as Of Patterson are proud of the

tions during 1917. The gentleman

his routine method of carrying on
his business. From the attractive
round building (modeled exactly as
a silo) which is used for an office,
to the great factory buildings just
being completed. the work is carried
on by experts who are appreciated
by their employer and who appre-
ciate him. Recent inspection of the
plant by insurance men called for
the announcement that it is tho
cleanest thing of the kind in the
state.
The people of Morgan City and
the rest of St. Mary Parish congrat-
ulate Patterson on its splendid,
growing Silo Factory and wish both
the Silo Company and its chosen
home a Merry Christmas and a
most prosperous New Year.
