1t seems that the only reason the
jury which sat in the alleged riot case
and reported late Tuesday afternoon
to Judge Walter S. Harlan, failed to
convict the defendants in more counts
than they did, was because there were
no more counts. They went the limit.
That was some jury, SOME jury
for the prosecution. They just threw
away the keys
This case has been a long drawn
out affair and it was with a sigh Of
relief, even from those convicted, that
the report Of the jury was received.
Started on February IL, it wa. just
five weeks and one day reaching the
finish There We're several intermis-
sions. First a juryman became i'll
and caused a recess and about the time
he was able to report another one of
them took i'll and the court then de-
cided to start the Wardlow case,
which took about ten days, after
which the riot case was again started
and once more interrupted for a day
to permit one of the jurymen to con
duct sale at his place. But with
all that, the finish has been reached,
and praise Him from whom all bless
ings fow," that there wasn't any
more men or women to convict, be-
cause that jury certainly meant busi-
ness. Eight of the defendants were
found guilty as charged on two counts
and five of them as charged in one
count. Two of the defendants were
dismissed, Valentine and Joseph Ben
dix being found not guilty.
To say that the findings of the jury
was a surprise to everyone is putting
it mild. The court officials and at
taches drew deep breaths of astonish-
ment and even the attorneys for the
prosecution seemed scarcely able to
suppress CALCULATIONS of surprise.
They seemed stunned and acted as if
they couldn't believe their ears. 1t
wouldn't have been at all surprising
if one Of them had jumped and said
to the jurymen: Hey, you're going
too far, it is too much, it is more than
we expected"
The worst that had been predicted
by the old habitues, court officials
and attaches was the probable con
viction of two or three of the men on

MACHINTSTS
NOTICE.

Hamilton Lodge No. 241, wishes

LOYALTY Of ORGANIZED LABOR
Holder, Keep That
Bond.

To those who are fortunate enough
to own Liberty Bonds of either the
IL per cent. or per cent. issue,
this newspaper has one message.
Keep them.
A few nervous souls have been dis
turbed because the market for these
bonds has fallen below par. They
have rushed to sell them with the
idea that their securities are going
to the dogs.
Wait a minute.
Is the United States of America
going to the dogs? Not so you could
notice it. The United States has a
big job on it's hands-a job that every
man and woman in this country has
got to help put over But most of the

Hamilton Lodge, No. 241, Interna-
tional Association of Machinists held
another rousing meeting Wednesday
night. New members were again
added to the roll and more applica-
tions are pouring in. Business Agent
Ted Smith submitted his report which
was received and approved. With the
increasing membership the machin-
lists will in the near future be the
largest organization of its kind in
the state.

Mrs. Partington, the old lady Of fable
who tried to sweep back the ocean
is duplicated by tobacco manufacture
ers in this city who think they can
stay the rush Of their employees into
the Tobacco Workers union.
The employers are camouAaging
their anti-unionism under '"open
shop" declarations but their employees
are no longer fooled by this discred-
tied term.
One employer announced that he
would reduce wages if his employees
joined the union Threats of strike
forced him to withdraw the state
ment.
Employees of the Liggett & Myers
Tobacco company, a subsidiary of the
tobacco trust, have joined the To-
bacco Workers union and are now on
strike against piece work system
that reduces wages.

SO in Russia than in the United
States" declared the labor leader,
"extoll the virtues of radicalism and
the wonderful advantages to be gained
from Socialism made in Germany.
They are trying to introduce this
spirit into the United States, Italy,
England Spain and France to hypno-
tie the people of these countries into
apathy and a position of canfied Sc
curity"
"They try to make US believe that
the workers in Germany are ready to
join in a peace movement" continued
Mr.. Gompers, wand that we needn't t
prepare too much for war. But you
don't hear that there is any real at
tempt at pacifism in Germany. Our
pacifists may be earnest and honest,
but they are pursuing mistaken
course. To wean the people of the
allied countries from the will to fight
for the right, to talk peace now is
not doing the cause of the United
States and our allies the right kind
of service.

folks realize the size of the job and
are hard at it. The ones that don't,
are going to find it out mighty short
ly.
Now Mr. American Citizen, do you
think you and all the rest of US are
going to fall down on the job?
YOU DO NOT.
ALL RIGHT
Then your Liberty Bonds are the
best investment in the world. There
is just one thing that can spoil the
value of Liberty Bond and that is
a Prussian victory over the United
States of America.
Don't worry about par. The worlds
best bargain is not going to sell long

What Labor Seeks.

Eve prefer to go along in our
normal, natural way, to try to make
the conditions of the American work
ing man and woman better today than
yesterday, and tomorrow than the day
before We prefer to follow that nat
ural method rather than the visionary
way of hazarding all and securing
nothing"
The remarks of Kellogg which drew
Gompers's reply, included praise of
British war aims.
1--WE have had wholly inadequate
interpreters of the British state
ment," he said: your Northcliffes and
Balfours and Galloper- Smiths have
been of the class who in the future,
no less than in the past, will be ar
rayed in opposition to the labor pro-
gram.
However, the delegation of British
labor men now in this country sent
over by the Government, however con-
scientiously and ably they may speak
for their own organization or for the
Government, were selected without
reference to the great labor bodies.
To Hear European Workmen.
We are told by the cables that
the Inter-allied labor conference in
February arranged to send five dele
gates representing British, French,
Belgian and Italian labor and Social
ist bodies to this country, and unless
their coming is blocked they will be
able to speak for themselves on the
international program initiated by the

Radical Elements Scored.

Asserting that the Bolsheviki and
other radical elements have been and
are trying to misrepresent American
organized labor, Mr. Gompers said:
"There are conditions of industrial
politics and law altogether different
in the United States than in any other
country There is something about
the labor movement in America of
which you may be assured-it must
be altogether American
Further, the labor movement of
America will not be represented at
any conference in any country where
the Representatives of an enemy ma
ton are present.
"No man in all the world suffered
more than did in my conscience and
soul when the peace of the world was
so ruthlessly and needlessly broken.
Insofar as l am concerned, this war
has got to be fought out until either
autocracy or democracy enthrones and
l am not going to encourage my fell
low countrymen in a discussion of
of peace when there is no peace.

Americas War Aims.

in the United States our President
has given forth this republics funda-
mental war aims. England and
France have declared their adhesion
to these war aims, and the American
labor movement of the United States
stands behind the President. The la
Dor men of France and England, like
wise, have declared their acceptance
of the principles enunciated by the
head of this Government of the only
possible basis for peace Then where
fore this criticism of the American
labor movement, that it is laggard or
that it refuses to co-operate?"
Assailing the alleged vagaries Of
Mr. Kellogg and "other intellectuals"
who, he said, favored an international
conference to include the workers
from the Central Powers, Mr. Gompers
said:
"I'm not going to give up the
American labor movement with its
great achievements of today to look
for the chimerical, fantastical Bolshe-
wiki promises of tomorrow. Why, the
Bolsheviki not only have lost all the
meat from the bone, but they have
lost the bone itself. They went out
to obtain the maximum for the masnes
of labor, and now they have neither
land, bread nor peace.

New York-Samuel Gompers, pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, vigorously defended the loyalty
of organized labor in the United
States in the war against Germany
in an address delivered here at a
meeting called by the National Civic
Federation to discuss after-war prob
lems-with particular reference to la
Dor and sociological conditions.
The address of Mr.. Gompers was in
reply to talk by Paul Kellogg, edi-
tor of Survey, in which he made ref
erence to the failure of the American
Federation to have representatives
at the international labor conference
held in London February 20 Mr..
Gompers said the reason that the
American Federation of Labor was
not represented was because the in
vitation from Arthur Henderson was
not received until too late for Ameri-
can representatives to be present. He
added that had it been received in
time there would have been men from
his organization at the conference.

Whatever accomplishments or sports
are to be cultivated In our girls, their
training for them should begin early.
Riding, swimming, tennis, walking,
climbing, music and languages-add
so much to the Joy Of life that every
girl Is entitled to chance at some OF
them. While the girl Is growing up Is
the time for her first instruction and
for the really tedious practice which
a knowledge of music and languages
compels. Timidity Is easy to overcome
In the young. 1t Is especially sensible
to insist on having children taught to
swim and ride, and girls excel when
given chance In these sports.
A glance at the habit of the smartly
clad little miss shown in the picture
above reveals that her habit follows
closely the summertime habits worn
by her elders. The fad for puttees In
place of high-top boots has extended
their use to the youngsters, and wash

that there is difference between this

The following account, taken IroM

the way In which the Red Cross OF
America is helping the women ana
children Of France:

their needy families.
It extends its aid to the repatriated
children coming in conveys from occu-
pied France and Belgium by way OF
Evian-les-Bains. Four thousand chill
dren have been examined and nearly
1000 treated at the American Req
Cross hospital where also acute and
contagious cases are treated. More
than 10000 have received dispensary
treatment, and those in need of con-
valescent care or those suffering from
tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross
hospital near Lyon. The thousands OF
old folk, women and children without
homes, who leave Evian each week for
the various departments to which they
are designated, find there the repre-
sentatives of the American Red Cross.
There are more than fifty distributed
In forty-four departments, who take
part in the work Of rehabilitation, sup
plying furniture, clothing, fuel and
food.
In Paris, twenty-six houses for the
lodging of refugees have been turned
over to the bureau. These will take

viduals. The Red Cross furnishes the
necessary requisites and in certain
cases advances money to cover the ex-
penses of construction. A refuge OF
the American Red Cross at Toul
houses 466 young children and their
mothers who have come out Of the
bombarded villages, while the means
furnished by the Red Cross have made
possible the opening of a maternity
hospital at Chalons in which 600 ba-
bies have been born since the begin
ming Of the war.

One hears that very few capes are
smart unless they are touched up with
a checked or plaid fabric. And capes'
you know, are as smart as jackets
and will continue to be so through the
autumn. They are worn over separate
skirts and cuirass blouses, or short
Chinese tunics, and they have that
swagyer military air that comes from
their careless arrangement across the
shoulders. All of the new ones have
some kind of waistcoat arrangement
which holds them closely over the buH
and waistline.
