''If the One Big Union is good for
all other countries; reasons the con-

for the U. S. A. Look at the power
of the British workers, because of
their solidarity. The unity of the
French, the determination for indus
trial freedom in Italy. Everywhere
one looks the workers are uniting on
class lines and yet handful of labor
fakirs in this country are working
night and day to keep the workers
divided and helping the masters to
deport the Progressives who question
their right to fool, rule and rob the

Good Government Club

The commission form of govern

the two important local government
issues of the day.

appointed to circulate the petitions
asking that the special election set
by the politicians for Sept. 2, 1919,
be postponed until the regular cleo

necessary expense thrust upon the
taxpayers at this time, when finances

Nothing succeeds like success. The

to the One Big Union convention.
This makes the two most important
trades councils in the state support
ing the move for the unity of the

action of the Engineers in the Falls

BIG CROWD
AT TPASC0E
INQUEST
Three Physicians Testify
That Girl Lived Only a
Short Time After Receiv-
ing Injury.

At the Pascoe inquest, held by Cor
oner Holland in Judge Lynch's court
room, a record crowd is in attend
ance. Many witnesses are present to
testify.
The three physicians who perform
ed the autopsy upon the body have
testified, each of them to about the
same opinion as to how long Ruby
Pascoe may have lived after receiv-
ing her njuries-namely, anywhere
from half second to an hour. AS
to the time during which she might
have retained power to understand
spoken question and to answer it
with the words, Il don't know, -
that might bave Deen five minutes,
but not probably so.
The fracture of the skull was clean
and running from to inches
across. The spinal column was
broken off at the top and SO loose
it could be wiggled. The spinal cord
was lacerated, but not severed. The
hemorrhage at the base of the brain
was profuse. The external hemorrage
might have been profuse or meagre
1t had been washed away when the
doctors got the body. The injury
was caused ny the application of ex-
ternal force, either as the result of
falling on the head, or from a blow.
But the instrument with which the
blow could in this have been struck
must have been extensive in the area
of it's facial surface, since no particu-
lar contusions or small sized wounds
were apparent The mass of hair
on the head may have had a large
part in preventing surface wounds
