UNIONS SHOULD
DENoUNcE SUCH ACTS

The action of union miners in West
Virginia, where they marched by the
thousands into another part Of the
state, to compel non-union men to
join the union with the alternative of
being driven out or killed, Is another
black page in the history Of organized
labor. It is good thing for men to
have their unions, but they have no
right to compel other men to join
them by violence. Neither are such
unions likely to bedurable. Violence
breeds violence and defiance of law
soon brings about state of affairs
where no mans life or property is
safe.-Ocala Star.

AMERICANS TO RETURN
U. $. Peace Delegates Start for U. s. December 6, Whether Germany Ratifies Peace Treaty or Not.

Paris, Nov. 26.-Any' delay which may eventually be found necessary in the exchange of ratifications required to put the German peace treaty into effect will not change the plans of the American peace delegation, it was learned today. Under Secretary cf State Polk and the other delegates will leave Paris in the evening of Decem- Der ,. The delegation will sail from Brest on December 6. Only a couple of experts will be left here to com- plete work. in hand.
 The subsequent participation bv Americans in the work of the peace conference, according to the view here, will probably be extremely lim- tied unless there are indications early in the December session of the senate that satisfactory ratification of the treaty is in sight.

 room $500; average expenditure for
 clothing $265; for laundry, $30; for travel, $45; other expenses $210. The
 total of all expenditures, $1050, shows Pthat the teachers are not receiving st wage sufficiently high to meet their current expenses.

JITNEYS GET WARNING
State Commissioner on Motor Vehicles Advises These in Business Against OvercrOwding-TelIS Dangers.

Hartford, Nov. 26-Robbins B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehi- cles, has sent to inspectors and police departm ents letters in which he says his office has received many con1- plaints from various sections of the state relative to overlooking of public service motor vehicles. He says:
 The law plainly specifies that any public service motor vehicle may carry two persons in excess of the seatng g capacity Overlooking is dangerous. Therefore the policy of enforcement should be strict and overlooking should be stopped forthwith. If there is sufficient demand on.the part of peo- pie desiring to be carried so that it becomes necessary, more public serv- ice motor vehicles can be registered and regular schedules provided, and it is undoubtedly fact that this result will take place just as soon as the public service motor vehicle owners become convinced that they are not going to be allowed to overload"

Edward Meyer, manager of the New York office of the Russell & Erwin Manufacturing company, of this city, has recently made the discovery that Douglas Fairbanks, tho movie star, was at one time in the employ of the New BritaSn concern. He happened to be going over a list of employees and found the name Douglas Fair banks upon it. He immediately wrote to the favorite actor and asked whether he was the Fairbanks re- ferred to. The answer was in the af- firmative in a letter which came by return mail.
 Mr. Meyer stated that the man who is now getting a salary of over a mil lion dollars year in the movies was in the stockroom at Q remuneration of about nine dollars a week.

Postmaster w. F. Delaney Makes Presentation in
 Behalf of Government.

Frank Ligsukis was formally pre- sented with the D. $. c. by Postmaster William F. Delaney at the postofficc this afternoon. MT. Delaney, in his speech of presentation, made mention oI the signal honor conferred upon MT. L1gsukis, mentioning the fact that of the 5000, ,0O0 men under arms for their country there were but few who were so honored by their government. There were millions of others who fought bravely and did brave acts, but the op- portunity came to MT. Ligsukis and he was not lacking, although it meant al- most sure death. All night long he toiled on No Mans Land,' bringing one after the other to the zone of safety Meg were killed less than five feet from him but unda aunted he con- tinued his task with death as an un- seen foe.
 MT. Delaney added that MT. Ligsu- kis needed no Americanization but rather Americans could learn the principles from him. There is and could be no greater sacrifice for ones country than to labor and suffer and this he did and with intense 1our- age. MT. Delaney, in concluding the presentation speech, stated that the

 The act for which Mr. Ligsukis was awarded the D. s. c. was done on the evening of October 6, 1918, when he. in company with a comrade, went into No Mans Land eight times and brought back eight wounded men and carried them to the hospital behind the lines. Each trip meant a three mile journey and at daybreak the last boy was safely in the hospital cot. MT. Ligsukis does not know to this day who his companion was who helped him bring the wounded from No Mans Land. Neither does he know

Trolley Service Discontinued
 Because of Lack of Patron age-May Seek Injunction Against Autoists.
POLICE CHIEF WILL
 NOT STOP P. S. CARS

Lawrence, Mass, Nov. 26.-Trolley ed today by order of the public trus- tees of the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Co.,, wno declared that because of jitney competition, the street cars were being operated at a loss. Only two interurban lines were running and thousands of mill work CTS were obliged to walk to their en- ployment or crowd into the many buses which were operating, without license
 Notice that the trolley service would be discontinued unless jitney compe- tition was, removed, was given about two weeks ago. .~.~'
 Free Will Offerings.
 Jitney licenses were revoked by the city council on Monday but they con- tinued to be operated on a free will offering basis. Street car service ended with the completion of regular runs last night.
 The bus owners, who have organized and are circulating petitions for a referendum on the question of substl- tuting jitney for trolley service, at- tempted to meet the situation by bringing scores of additional vehicles from surrounding cities during the night These werel operated along the lines formerly trayersed by the street cars. No fares were collected but contributions were accepted. The owners said returns were larger than if the usual bus fare of : cents had been charged .s.ss--e4 .s..s5,ses
 A special meeting of the city coun- cil was called today to consider the situation.
 Hint at InjunctiOn.
 Four iitney drivers summoned into court in test case, were found guilty of violation of the city ordinances by operating public conveyances without license and fined. All appealed The court Suggested that as any other drivers who might be brought in probably also would appeal and con- tinue operation pending disposition ot the cases, the only way to deal with the situation would be by an injMnc- tion F., .. .=. Alderman Peter Carr, head of the police department taking the ground that the withdrawal of street car serv- ice had created an emergency, notified jitney drivers that he would not in 1 terfere with them so long as trolleys were not in operation

 Does Not Know.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 2s, <By the As- sociated Press.)-Gen.

Angeles was sentenced to death by four Carra.nza generals in the Tea tro de Los Heroes (theater of the he roes) at 10:45 o'clock last night He was imm ediately taken from the build- ing through a rear entrance to await execution which was set for a. m. today.

 New York, Nov. 26.--Madame Fe- lipe Angeles, wife of the Mexican rev. olutionary leader, is gravely ill at the home of friends here and has not been notified of his execution. Friends with whom she is stopping stated that she was in a very precarious condition and they feared to give. her the news at this time.
 Madame Angeles came here from El Paso three months ago, with her daughter, aged 22 years and three sons, the oldest of whom is 20. Since coming here she has had no direct word from her Husband, who has been wandering around in the wilder ness of the interior of Mexico. Her illness is said to be due to nervous ex- haustion resulting from worrying over Gen. Angeles safety.
