VIOLENCE MARKS
WINNIPEG STRIKE
for FIRST Time.
Police Called Into Action to
QueII Sympathizers, Who
Endeavor to Enter
Building.

Winnipeg, June 2.-Violence by
strike sympathizers in parade of
1000 men today marked the eigh-
teenth day of the general strike
here. For the first time since the
strike began, Winnipeg policemen
were called into action and demon
strants who attempted to force
their way into the Board of Trade
i building were checked by police
men, detectives and volunteers.
The paraders first marched to the
provincial parliament building, for
the third time since Friday, and
demanded the resignation of Pre-
mier 7. c. Norris and his cabinet
on the grounds of "incompetency."
Premier Norris announced he had
not receded from his previous
stand, that he would do nothing re-
garding provincial legislation which
the union men are demanding until
the sympathetic strike is called off.
Howard Lloyd, a business man,
who stood on the curb wearing a
Canadian flag on his coat, refused
to remove the flag and several Of
the marchers attacked him. He
proudly displayed the emblem still
on his torn coat after the melee.
Important Developments.
The most important strike devel-
opment today from a Cancellation
standpoint was an announcement by
the railroad brotherhood executives,
attempting to mediate the contro-
versy, that they had transmitted to
the executives of the, Winnipeg
Metal Trades council an offer OF
settlement which had been received
from the heads of Winnipeg's three
leading iron works.
Premier Norris and his cabinet
were requested to resign by speak
crs of the delegation of returned
soldiers, strikers and strike SYM
pathizers, who took possession OF
the provincial legislative chamber
for the third time today. Premier
Norris told the crowd that he would
not give up his office, but that he
would use every effort to obtain
legislation which might tend to i'm.
proye industrial conditions in Mani
toba.
i A few of the commercial tele-
graphers who have been on strike
returned today, it was announced al
one of the offices.

Iohn Barrett Kills
Self, Thinking He Was
to Be Left Homeless

John Barrett, an umbrella mender,
so years old, shot and killed himself
at 8:45 last night when his niece,
Mrs. F. o. Fleu, Seventy-fourth and
Main streets, Benson, told him that
she and her family were to move
today. and leave him, as he thought,
without a home.
Barrett locked himself in a room
of his niece's home, shot twice into
the floor and then sent bullet
through his brain. Police believe
that he discharged the two bullets
into the floor to see what effect it
would have on his relatives and as
they. thinking he was pretending,
failed to go to his side, he killed
himself.
A doctor was sent from Central
station when the shooting was re-
ported. Barrett was dead when the
doctor arrived. The doctor said
Barrett's wound was instantly fatal.
At midnight, police had been I'M
able to locate any Of the county at
torneys and the body still lay in
pool of blood on the floor where it
had fallen.

WHITMAN TO AID
SALVATION ARMY

Former Gov. Charles s. whitman OF
New York has accepted an invitation
10 become the national Chairman for
the Salvation Army home service
fund campaign In its drive from May
10 to 20 to raise $4,000. 900 for ex-
tensions OF its rescue work and serv-
ice TO the deserving poor. The drive
Is made necessary by the drain upon
the organization by the war and the
popularity OF the Salvation Army
after the war.
In her letter OF invitation to for
mer Governor Whitman, Commander
EvangelinV Booth. leader Of the Sal
walton Army in the United States, re-
ferred to Mr.. Whitman's dealings
with the Salvation Army when he
was a police magistrate in New York
city many years ago. She told him
he knew better than most men why
the army had adopted as a slogan
for this campaign the phrase, "a man
may be down. but ne Is never out"
She also emphasized his consistent
stand for moral uplift and his long
fight to improve the conditions OF
poor persons and asked bin to make
the sacrifice Of laying aside his per-
sonal affairs long enough to help
gather the funds which shall 90 for
direct relief and service ia the 500
communities Of this country where
the Salvation Army is established.
Governor Whitman has replied, in
part, as foliows:
II am sure that you have overesti-
mated the value OF my influence and
the personal service / shall be able
to render in this worthy effort. II
would be difficult, however. for you
to oVerstate the warmth Of my per-
sonal respect and affection for the
Salvation Army and my eonfidence in
its leadership. This admiration on
my part dates back to the period you
mention, when, as a city magistrate,
came to know intimately that me

and consecration with industry, In

acteristic OF the Salvation Army.
"The members Of the army and
those Of Us who have been intimately
acquainted with Il outside. long ago
recognized the qualities which u has
displayed 50 conspicuously during the
last two years in connection with war
service at home and overseas. II o
true. however, that there were mil
Hons Of Americans who did not know
those qualities Of efficiency, frugal
Ity and devotion which were displayed
In France.

Drive On To Reduce
HLiteracy In South
Before 1920 Census

A drive to eliminate illiteracy is
now in full swing in the South.
Information reaching the Depart
ment OF Commerce today, indicates
that a number of Southern States
have launched campaigns, with a view
to vastly reducing illiteracy before
the taking of the 1920 census.
Alabama already has started, State
superintendent of Education Dowell
reported to the Department Of Com
merce today, by appointment of
special official, under whose direction
the work of eliminating illiteracy
will he conducted in individual
counties. A start has been made in
two counties.
In Louisiana, State Superintendent
Harris has advised school officials
and a score or more OF parishes,
where adult illiteracy is great, to
supply special teachers for the sum-
ner months and require them to or
ganize classes at convenient hours
during the day and evening for teach
ing.
Expect Slow Progress.
In his report to the Department
OF Commerce, Harris declared he ex-
pected no startling results to come
from the campaign.
I'VE need not attempt to fool our
selves into believing that the job is
an easy one" he stated. "It is any
thing but easy. 1t is very difficult
to impress the adult illiterates with
the Importance of instruction and to
secure their cooperation. This Is
true even when skillful and tactful
teachers are employed. We expect
TO do the best we can, and 1 feel
sure that we shall reach several hun
dred of these people during the sum-
mer"
As indicative that much success
may he expected. however, the de-
partment made public a report by the
Alabama superintendent on the edu
cation Of draft illiterates in Alabama.
II showed that out Of the total Ala
bama draftees, S,135 were illiterates.
OF these. under the supervision OF
the Alabama iIliteracy commission,
3.646, or 40 per cent, were educated.
