RADICALS MEET IN
CHICAGO TO FORCE
MOONEY ISSUE
MEETING SAID TO BE AIMED
AT PRESENT LEADERS
OF A. F. OF l..

CHICAGO, Jan. IA. - Repre-
sentatives of trades unions of
nearly every state are here to at
tend the national labor congress
at which it is planned to make
formal demand that Thomas j.
Mooney and Warren Billings, now
serving life sentences for murder
in connection with the San Fran
cisco preparedness parade on July
July %, 1916, be given new trials.
1t Is expected that more than 500
delegates will be present. This
congress was called by the interna-
tional workers defense league.
"We do not intend to use the
general strike except as a last re-
Sort" said selig Schulberg, repre-
sentative of the international
workers defense league. There
are several ways by which our de-
mands a be made. We have
proved that Mooney and Billings
we're convicted by perjured testi-
mony. Every legal means to OBJ
tain justice for them has been X
hausted, and we are here to in
sist that either the federal gov
eminent act or new laws be pass
ed without delay which will give
those men new trials"
This movement is not supported
by the American Federation of
Labor and it has been freely
charged by members of that or
ganization that the Chicago meet
ing Is promoted by a faction of
radicals with a view to gaining as
cendancy in labor circles over
Gompers and his adherents.

FUCKER IS TAKEN
FROM PERS|MM0N
FRUIT is MARKETED IN SOUND
CONDITION BY
JAPS

NEWCASTLE, Cal, Jan. II. =
Process Of extracting the pickering
qualities from the persimmon and
thus making it possible to market
the fruit in a sound condition in
stead of waiting until it is virtu-
ally decayed, is claimed by Y. Ka-
wanoto. Japanese fruit grower
here. Kawanoto has built a large
packing house for the treatment of
the fruit as it comes from the
trees. Only a brief time is nee
essary to prepare it for market.
Several Thousand boxes were ship
ped during the 1919 season with
good results. Wawanoto calls the
process my recipe" but so far
he has not disclosed the formula.
Fruit growers here believe that
the persimmon is rapidly gaining
place as a standard orchard food
product. Shipments made from
here during the season just closed
brought as high as $5.25 per box.

MONTANA WOMEN
WILL HOLD JOBS
HALF OF WARTIME WORKERS
WILL RETAIN Pc.
SITIONS

HELENA, Mont, Jan. IL. -
Probably half Of the 1000 women
in the state of Montana who have
taken the places of men in indus
trial positions during the war
emergency will continue to hold
their jobs after the return of SOL
diers and war workers, according
to advices received by the state in
dustrial accident board, which has
supervision of industrial conditions
in Montana.
Their work, as near as we can
learn, has been very satisfactory.
especially in the matter of &C
counting, bookkeeping and office
work." said A. F. Spriggs, chair
man of the board, discussing the
work of women on war jobs. "In
the line of manual labor, we are
inclined to think that the women
now holding these jobs will be
substituted by men as soon as APP
plicants for the jobs in question
present themselves"
Substitution of women for men
in Montana has extended, in rail-
road centers of the state, to car
cleaners, engine wipers and bag
gage handlers. Advices received
by the board indicate, however,
Spriggs said, that women in such
positions will be supplanted by
men shortly.
Hotels and restaurants have
found women efficient in the plac-
es formerly held by men as wait
ers and elevator operators, and
women have replaced men in many
instances as operators of passen-
ger elevators in stores and bust
ness buildings. In the office OF
the board itself three women now
hold positions as bookkeepers CIV
en- up by men at the beginning of
the war, and Mr.. Spriggs declared
it to be the intention of the board
to continue them In those positions
so long as they are able to do sat
isfactory work. Such, he said he
believed, is the cas- with many
other business offices.
In several cities of Montana wo-
men are employed as mail carriers,
to the apparent satisfaction of
their patrons, and in Great Falls
they work for the street depart
ment in cleaning the pavements
and tending the parks.

An ancient calling is again very
much alive. The armorer is at work
turning out m for fighting men /;
and, in a most distinguished case, the
chief areorer of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Fine Arts, New York, Dam
lei Taehaux, has been working for
modern warriors with the very ham,
mers and anvils that Onc were used in
armOring their medieval forerunners.
To be sure, armor nowadays is not SO
cumbersome that when the wearer Is
upset he has to lie fiat on his back
until somebody kindly stands him up
again but 1t has turned out that, for
practical purposes, modern design adds
nothing to the protective detail of the
separate pieces of old-time armOr.

GERMAN NAVAL CREW
GETS LESSON IN
DISCIPLINE
BRITISH BOARDING OFFICER
FINDS CREW IN CAP
TAIN'S CABIN

LONDON, Jan. IA. - One Brit
ish naval officer showed a German
naval captain how to handle his
undisciplined sailors during the
surrender of the German war
ships to the allied fleet off the
Firth of Forth.
It is related that when the Brit
ish officer boarded a German bat
tleship to make the official exami-
nation he found numbers of Ger
man sailors lolling about In the
captains lobby and some of them
making themselves very much at
home in the captains cabin. Many
were wearing armlets inscribed
''Soldaten und Arbeter," indicating
their allegiance to the soldiers
and workers councils which
brought about the revolution.
"You will need no explanation,
sir, for my presence here" said the
German captain approaching the
Englishman. "You e how
things are"
"You will please converse with
me in your own language" re-
piled the British officer, returning
the salute. "You will also order
these men out of these quarters
before we do anything else"
"What would be the good to
command them" asked the Ger
every WE'LL" snapped the Brit
isher as he swung around. Look
here, you men," he Numbered in
German. eff I have any more Of
tins insubo- i'nation I'll put you
in irons. Attention."
Every man sprang to his feet.
Cigars and cigarettes disappeared
and the talking ceased.
"Fall in there" ordered the
Britisher. "And you," he indicat-
ed a petty officer, "you take these
men away. And clear the lobby,
too. See that they behave them
eslyes or I'll know the reason why.
ThatIl do. Garry on"
The petty officer stiffened, sa-
luted and raped out a ord OF
--ond Tn q momeu the cab
in was cleared.
"Now," said the English COM
mandsr, "Ill give you your Or
ders."

MYSTERY ship HAS RECORD OF
TWO SUBMARINES in ONE DAY

mortal hits OF the submarine,
which was unable to fire an addi-
tional shell. Just three minutes
after the first hit, the submarine
was blown up by a shot which
holed IL just below the foredeck
and caused an explosion which
threw a vast column of water high
into the air.
Later the same day another Ger
man submarine approached the
Mary B. Mitchell and opened fire
at a distance of about two miles.
After the sixth round the mystery
ship was stopped and a boat put
off. To all appearances the craft
was abandoned. The submarine
approached the supposed wreck at
full surface speed. Then it sub
merged for a time and suddenly
rose to the surface again.
The gunners of the Mary B.
Mitchell landed a shell just below
the coming tower and pierced the
side one foot above the water. A
flash of brilliant blue flame and
a dense yellow smoke came from
the hole. Almost Immediately an
other shell struck forward and the
submarine was enveloped in black
smoke and sank into the water
bow foremost, with a low gurgling
and Kissing.

INVENTORS DREAM
is SOLVED BY
BRITISH NAVY

LONDON, Jan. 10. - A device
which for more than three years
helped to protect British warships
from German mines has won for
it's inventor, Lieutenant Charles D.
Burney of the British navy, the
order of Companion of st. Michael
and st. George and a grant OF
$15O,000. The invention Is said to
have saved the lives of hundreds
of sailors and prevented the loss
of many warships.
1t consists of a waterplane shap-
ed like a torpedo, having a pair OF
large flat fins projecting OIL eth
er side. It is towed oversize by
a wire rope in such a way that
it runs from the ships bows out
ward. The wire rope is intended
to pick up the mooring ropes OF
mines and slide them along until
they reach to the nose of the de-
vice, where a sharp saw is fixed
inside a V-shaped slot.
The saw cuts through the moor
ing rope and allows the mine tC
float free, wheer it a either be
avoided or destroyed. !.
The invention is known in the
service as the "P. w." or para
vane."

New Source of Leather.

Durable leather from the bladders
of animals is claimed by Rudolph
Obrist-Doos, a Swiss. The bladders
are stretched and dried, giving them
a smooth surface, and are then made
plant and waterproof by a special
process of fulling and tanning. The
pieces so obtained may be pressed to-
gether, with a suitable adhesive, and
with or without felt, to give a leather
or leather substitute of any desired
thickness.

FALMOUTH, England, Jan. 10.
Two German submarines were sunk
in one day by the Mary B. Mitch
ell, a sailing vessel, one of the
mystery ships" of the war now
exhibited here. This craft was
one of the first, IL not the first, of
the decoy ships which played hay
&C with the U-boats. This vessel
went into the decoy service early
in 1916, under command of Lieu
tenant John Lowrie. All her Off
GERS and crew volunteered for
the hazardous work. She was
provided with a 12-pounder and
two well-concealed six-pounders.
She sighted her first submarine
three miles away and loafed along
awaiting a chance to bag it. The
German craft followed at a safe
distance for a time but finally
crawled closer, and after satisfy
ing itself that it had superior
speed and gun power, opened fire.
Failure of the mystery ship to
return fire at once baffled the
German officers. They were quiet
for fifteen minutes ana then re-
sumed fire. When the submarine
came sufficiently close and was in
good position abeam, the conceal
ed guns Of the sailing ship ere
brought into play and landed six

Blame for the delays in the trans
portation of mail for soldiers over
seas was placed on the war depart
ment by Second Assistant Attorney
General Prayer, testifying before

Most of the trouble, he said, was
due to carelessness on the part of
the military officials for the war

WAR DEMAND FOR PLATINUM
Is Essential in Production Of suIphurlo
Acid. Indispensable In manufac-
ture OF Explosives.

Two universally known products
one a rare metal, the other a common
acid-have lately assumed Importance
that Is mystifyIng to the lalty. Plati-
mum has become virtually the king OF
metals and sulphuric acid the king Of
chemicals. The reasons for this are
most simple. Platinum Is obtained
chiefly from the Ural mountains. Owing
10 chaotic conditions In Russia. little
Of Il Is being mined. II is absolutely
essential IN the manufacture OF sui
phuric acid. Without small amount
OF if being present. oxygen. water and
sulphur dioxide wia not unite chem
ically. Sulphuric acid. on the other
hand. was probably the most lndis-
pensahle product used In the prosecu-
tion Of the war. Its tremendous afiin-
lty for water made IL vitally important
in the manufacture OF high explosives.
For instance. one obtains fairly
harmless liquid by mixing glycerIn and
nitric acid II sulphuric acid is added.
if combines the two chemically by
taking an atom of hydrogen and one
of oxygen from the nitric acid, an
atom OF hydrogen from the glycerin.
forming water. and taking It unto it
self. one then has nitroglycerin. In a
similar manner sulphurie acid Is need
ed for the manufacture OF guneotton
and INT. Thus We had the pecu-
liar cycle Of circumstances that made
Il unpatriotic for an American TO have
IN his possession more than an ounce
OF platinum In the form Of Jewelry.
Incidentally. however. there is said TO
be good reason for the belief that a
very large proportion Of the so-called
platinum In modern jewelry Is com
posed wholly or at least in part OF
cheaper metals.-Popular Mechanics
