.BOLL-WEEVIL NOW
WORRIES MEXICANS

Mexico City, Dec. 5.-Much alarm
has been caused by the appearance of
the pink boll-worm and the boil
weevfl in the Laguna district near
T%orreon, Coahuila, where. It is stated,
that the cotton production has suf-
fered seriously, or to the extent Of
35 per cent. The whole cotton region
was recently inspected by August
Busck of the department of agricu1-
ture in Washington, who found that
only the Laguna district was affected.
and advised the governments that the
only effective method which has
given the desired results was not to
plant cotton in the affected district
for at least two years. and if possible
for three years. He stated that he
was sure that the worm had been i'm
ported from Egypt when the last
shipment of seed came from that
country for use in Mexico.
Nj. Busck also advised that the re-
manning seed either be fumigated or
destroyed to avoid further infection in
other districts, and that for three
years the soil in the affected district
could be used to planting corn, wheat
and other cereals.
Pastor Rouaix, minister. of agricul-
ture, has issued a circular advising
the farmers around Torreon to di-
versify their crops and avoid a more
serious outcome of the present stu
alton.

The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1917-01-06

Two or three days ago young Klein
was discovered in Cumberland Md,
alive, well and at work He had been
afraid to go home after running away
because he feared that his parents were
angry at him
Barrett, when told that Charley was
alive and well, had only one remark to
make:
We'll, then, | didn't kill him, did l ?"
was all he had to say.
The Barrett boy now says that the
police wouldn't believe him when he told
them the truth and that they told him
so many times that he had killed his
chum that he actually believed it him
self
This is clear case of hypnotism. The
police impressed on the poor, troubled
child conviction of his own guilt, just
as hypnotist can make the president
of bank believe that he has robbed
the bank or that he is a street car con-
ductor or ditch digger.
How many so-caled confessions ex-
torted by the third degree are of the
same sort?
The police officer who adopts these
methods is himself criminal. They are
just as illegal as murder, and in many
cases they are equally iniquitous.
No confession eXtorted by such meth
DDS is worthy of admission in any court
which calls itself court of justice.
And yet the system is apparently
firmly intrenched in the methods of
our police and is growing stronger and
stronger every day.
1t is disgrace to our civilization and
ought to be abolished.

TO GUST COMPENSATION FOES.

Columbus, Ohio.-Oficers of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor have filed
petitions sufficient to initiate bill GUST
ing private liability companies from the
state. The petitions filed bear 1859 sig
natures from 6s of the SO counties.
About $4,000, or 3 per cent of the voters
at the last general election, is needed.
The unionists say that many more sig
natures were obtained, but these are
withheld for use in case the legislature
rejects the bill. In this event the pro-
posal will be submitted to referendum
by the additional signatures of per
cent of voters.
THE child has been born and we are
now turning it over to the nurse" said
T. ]. Donnelly, of Cincinnati, secretary
of the federation. John A. Vol, Zanes-
vile, president of the federation, said
the filing of the petitions might as well
be considered funeral services" for the
liability companies.
AS originally passed the law was in
tended to provide only for state compen-
sation. A ruling by the state insurance
commissioner, however, permits private
companies to write insurance and this
has been sustained by the State Supreme
Court.
The state federation of labor now pro-
poses to destroy this decision by driving
the private companies out of the state.

The Third Degree Should Be
Abolished!
Organized Labor Should Lam
for Being Used the Interest
Great Field for Graft by Operate 1.-THE Following
Editorial from, the Post Shous ho.v it Works

Organized labor should have law
passed in Ohio similar to the one in
Kentucky, to abolish what is known as
the third degree, as it is now being used
by unfair bosses against organized labor.
We. need go no further than the Kroger
strike in Cincinnati, both Hammer and
Clark, two union men, were third de-
greed until they confessed that they
broke krogers windows whether they
did or not, while Kroger's superintend-
ent, John Schuld, testified that he took
two men down to beat up a union ban
ner carrier, but refused to give their
names and nobody was arrested
In labor trouble the third degree opens
up field of graft for those who have
charge of it and should be abolished by
the present legislature.

GENEROSITY, OR PROBATION? ?

San Francisco-Under the above cap
ton, Editor Barry of the Star, says:
"The directors of the Santa Fe have
voted to give $4,000 unorganized en-
ployes a bonus of 10 per cent on their
salaries. The organized trainmen are
shut out from this gratuity, because,
says President Ripley, we feel that they
are already getting enough for their
services; these other unorganized men
are not. 1t is an emergency measure
adopted to meet unusual conditions But
if the Santa Fe can not afford to give
its trainmcn an eight-hour day, how can
it afford to disburse $2,75O,O0O to its
cheap labor? Is the emergency the fear
that they also will organize and demand
the wages which Ripley says they are
entitled to but are not getting? And
why are they underpaid, while the or
ganized workers are already getting
enough?' These are pertinent ques-
tons"

The Criminal 'Third Degree"-The
Law Might Have Hanged This
Innocent Boy On His
Own TpStimOnV

OWn IeStlmOny.
In July, 1915, Charley Klein. a 15-
year-od boy of Baltimore, disappeared,
in company with another lad named Dick
Barrett. Barrett is said to be a rather
tough boy, and was arrested for the MUIR
der of Klein. There was no evidence
against him except that stated above
The police adopted theory The po-
lice always adopt theory.
The adoption of theory is a perfect
ly proper thing on the part of the police,
but when they attempt to establish that
theory by such methods as are common
in the abominable practise of giving ac-
cused people the third degree" they
themselves become criminals.
They became criminals in the Klein
Barrett case. They attempted to extort
confession from young Barrett, and
they finally succeeded. They told him
that klein's body had been found. They
insisted that Barrett had murdered him.
They at last beat down his psychology
and turned his brain. His first story was
that they had met some tramps, and
that the tramps had killed young Klein.
Then, by constant battery of accu-
sations, false statements and intimida-
tions and other prosecutions, they turned
the poor boys brain and he confessed
that he himself had beaten Klein to
death with gun which they had stolen.
Only two statements in this confess
sion were true. The two boys had met
some tramps and one of them had stolen
a gun.

I her bare white throat, and then a
trembling of her lips as. she looked up
at the man with a wonderful look He,
too, knelt down beside them, and put
his arm about the girl again, and pat
ted the dog on his head. KaZan did
not like the mans touch. He mis-
trusted it, as nature had taught him
I to mistrust the touch of all mems
hands, but he permitted it because he
saw that it in some way pleased the
i girl.
"Kazan, old boy, you wouldn't hurt
her, would you?" said his master soft

Can't help it, can we? And she's ours,
Kazan, all ours She belongs to you
and to me, and we're going to take
care of her all our lives, and if we
ever have to, wen fight for her like
h--l-won't we? Ell, Kazan, old boy?"
For long time after they left him
where he was lying on the rug, Ka-
zan's eyes did not leave the girl. After
time his master said something, and
with a little laugh the girl jumped up
and ran to big, square, shining thing
that stood crosswiSe in a corner, and
which had row of white teeth longer
than his own body. He had wondered
what those teeth were for. The girls
fingers touched them now, and all the
whispering of winds that he had
ever heard, all the music of the wa
terfalls and the rapids and the trill-
ing of birds in springtime, could not
equal the sounds they made. 1t was

Kazan back now. He went nearer,
still nearer, until at last his outreach-

Wonderful days followed for Kazan.
He missed the forests and deep SHOWS.
He missed the daily strife of keeping
his teammates in trace, the yapping
at his heels, the straight, long pull
over the open spaces and the barrens.
He missed the "KOosh-koosh--HoO-
yah :" of the driver, the spiteful snap
of his twenty-fOot caribou-gut whip,
and that yelping and straining behind
him that told him he had his followers
in line. But something had come to
take the place of that which he missed.
1t was in the room, in the air all about
him, even when the girl or his mas
ter was not near. Wherever she had
been, he found the presence of that
strange thing that took away his
loneliness. 1t was the woman scent,
and sometimes it made him whine
softly when the girl herself was actu-
ally with him. He was not lonely,

bowling at the stars. He was not
lonely, because one night he prowled
about until he found certain door,
and when the girl opened that door in
the morning she found him curled up

in her wonderful eyes that gave him
confidence, and he laid his head in her

touch of a woman's hand and he
closed his eyes with a long, signing

RECOGNIZED AERONAUTlC EXPERT

Gen. George o. Squier is man
who achieves things. While in the
signal corps as a colonel he was placed
in charge of aeronautics and with but
limited amount Of money to expend
he started out to develop this service
for the United States army.
His idea was to specialize in the
various branches Of this arm of the
service and to put the members of his
corps through a most intensive train
ing. The result was that when con-
gress finally awakened to a true real
izatiOu of what aeronautics meant to
an army and increased his appropria-
ton, General Squier found himself in
a position to expend this appropriation
judiciously. The result is that the
American fiier today ranks foremost
among the fiiers Of the world.
United States being the last great
nation to adopt airplanes for war,
General Squier was confronted in the
present conflict with the realization
