At the annual convention of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor i'll Meriden this matter was threshed out again and the state body upheld Secretary Orn- burn. The letter from Seattle, received yesterday, is as follows:

 Seattle, Wash,
 October 24th, 1919. ITO All Affiliated Local Unions, Gen.
 tra1 Labor and Metal Trades Coun-

 Greeting:
 "The Central Labor Council of Seat tie, under whose auspices the affairs of the Mooney defense for the Northwest ing, Wednesday, October 18th, dis charged all committees in connection herewith, and ordered them to discon- tlnue any further activities or collection of funds.
 Despite this official order of the Seattle Council, which possessed full authority ln the premises, former mem bers of this committee are continuing their activities and are obtaining money from local unions and individual mem bers of organized labor under fa1>e b-e- tences. This betrayal of the trust re- posed in them by the labor movement of Seattle, on the part of some of the members of the Mooney committee, is not wholly unexpected. The failure to secure any material benefit for the cause of new trial for Thomas J. Mooney-in fact, the serious inj dry done this just cause-is almost entirely due to their activities.
 The cause of Mooney was subor- dinated to campaign of disruption of the American Federation of Labor, of lying, slanderoEs attacks on the officials of the movement generally, and to spreading propaganda inimica' 10 rhe best interests of our movement. Since the action of the Seattle Council of October 15, in dismissing them, more

THIS MAN HAS FINE
APPLES THIS YEAR
James Shaw, Of Grange
vile, is a Scientific
Orchardist.

Though the apple crop is considered
almost a failure this year, James Shaw
OF ,Grangeyille, Warrington district,
announces that he will have three hum
dred bushels of apples ready for the
market this year.
A trip to Mr.. shaw's orchard will
tend to deny the report that the apple
crop is small, for the trees in his orch
ard are loaded to capacity and large
number Of them are propped up be-
GAUGE Of the heavy yield.
Mr.. Shaw is an cup to -the-minpte"
farmer believing that the fertility OF
the soil must be good to produce the
best ap9les. He prunes his trees and
believes, in spraying his trees thor
oughly and regularly.
County, Farm. Agent W. 3. McComaa
paid recent visit to the Shaw orch
ard and did not find a single wormy
apple. Because OF the superior quail
ity, Mr.. Shaw gets from fifty to seven
ty-fiYe cents more per bushel than
most other people get for their APP
pies. Hisapples are large and more
perfect in every. respect, without dis
ease and free from worms.
This year he has engaged all of his
apples and because of their quality
could sell 1000 bushels instead Of 800
bushels if he had them. This year he
is getting SO per bushel for his Grimes
Golden apples, Other varieties grow
ing in his orchard which is now. about
twelve years old are York apples
Rome Beauty and Winesap apples.

BUCK WHARTON
SPORT DIRECTOR
Famous Football Player Lord
Over All Athletics at Uni
versity of Pennsylvania

Captain Charles M. (Buck) whar-
ton will become field director of
athletics, his duties including gen.
eral supervision over all forms of
Penn sports.
DR.. Wharton's appointment is in
line with the precedent set by Yale
among the large Eastern colleges in
appointing AL Sharpe supervisor of
its athletic departments.
In announcing DIR. Wharton's ap-
pointment. DR.. r. TAFT Mckenzie,
director of the department of ply
sical education at Penn, says:
'Dr. Charles NJ. Wharton has been
appointed assistant director of the
department and field director of
athletics. His duties will consist of
the organization and direction of all
instruction on Franklin Field by class
or teams in the major and minor
sports. assistance in the medical
supervision of athletes on teams, and
assistance in the examination of in
coming students.
Lawson Robertson has been
appointed instructor of athletics to
act as instructor in all classes in
track and field athletics, including
cross-c country running.
William J. Cromie has been pro-
NOTED to be assistant director of the
department and director of the sum-
mer school courses.
ut is proposed to organize the in
struction in football, baseball, track
and field athletics in such way that
men reporting for game like foot
ball will receive progressive instruc-
ton in the rudiments of the game
and will be retained on the squad
throughout the entire season.
"a system of tests will be intro
duced in track and field athletics so
that men can be graded according
to their ability and progress. The at
tendance will be kept very much in
the same way as the gymnastic c
classes. All students who are ply
sically fit wilt thus have an oppor-
tunity of choosing the form of sport
in which they are most interested
and in which they are most likely to
succeed, and they will receive in
struction in it.
Both DIR. Wharton and Lawson
Robertson will have duties for the
athletic council, which will be out
lined by it,
Commenting on the appointm ent
of Wharton. The Pennsylvania Ca
zette. alumni weekly, says:
There are endless possibilities to
the reorganization plan as worked
out by the University's physical edu-
cation and athletic authorities. In the
first place. it means that through the
appointment of Captain Wharton the
University has acquired a man with
national reputation in many lines.
Captain Wharton is perhaps best
known as a football coach. He was
famous in the days of guards back
as a player.
