Judaism Benefits from Summer
Services.
Persons who are working in the in.
terest Of religion, are satisfied that
Judaism has gained considerably in
influence during the present summer.
1t is believed certain that many Jews
are returning from summer resorts to
their homes and occupations, with a
renewed or greater faith in their re-
ligion. This is the result Of the relig-
ious services at summer resorts.
While persons, amidst the pleasures
of resorts are mindless Of cares and
are consequently in a receptive mood,
the services place before them the
principles of Judaism.
The closing weeks Of the vacation
period finds services at summering
places still making an appeal to large
numbers Of Jews.

The returning possemen brought nu- merous stories and rumors and suspic- ions. through all of which ran the bellet that the rioting was due to propaganda distributed among the negroes by white men,
 Ii was clearly indicated, they said, there was an organization of negroes antagonistic to the white residents in the southern part of the county Negroes in that section, 1t is said, have asserted they will not pick the present cotton crop unless paid their own price, and nun bers of them are reported to have refused
 to work for the white farmers for any
 wage.
 A prominent white woman of the sec
 ton said today she had passed a negro
 church Sunday and that all the negroes carried guns.

Sheriff Kitchens, who shas been i'll, could not accompany them.
 A man named clen, alleged bootleg ger, had been reported Ion rampage, in a message to the sheriff from Elaine authorities.
 CIem, it was asserted, had threatened to kill his wife and other members of the family, including W. Clem. formerly a contractor of this city, but now res ioent Of Elaine, had become involved.
 The message requested that deputies be sent to arrest membrs of the family to prevent further disturbances.
 The automobile in which Pratt, Adkins and the negro trusty were riding, 1t IS related, was stopped before the Hoop Spur church to repair puncture, and while working on the car the party was fired upon from the church by unidenti- fled persons Adkins dropped dead and Pratt was wounded. The trusty, who escaped unwounded made his way to a nearby railway station and telephoned a report of the incident to the sheriff. Pratt made his way to Helena this morning despite his shattered knee and was taken immediately to the hospital.
 The accounts of the deputy and the negro trusty, indicating the attack on the three had been made by an organ ized band of negroes, poses were hastily formed by the sheriff and rushed to Elaine

REVIEWS CONDITIONS


 In the course of his testimony Judge Gary reviewed conditions leading up to the strike and discussed at length his refusal to meet the steel workers na- tional committee. To have negotiated with the committee, he said would have been q departure from the compary's s policy to treat directly with it's employees and would have damaged the. prestige or the open shop policy.
 Discussing this point with Senator Borah, republican Idaho, he said condl- tions might arise under which he might talk with union leaders not employed by the company.
 Provided they said fairly that they represented 15 per cent of the men eni- ployed, for instance" he said, T might discuss the wishes of that l5 per cent with them"
 MT. Gary brushed aside the charges of union leaders that the corporation dad mstreated it's men with the statement that in no basic industry in the worlG were the men better treated or plti higher wages Later he went into vel fare work of the company among it's eln- ployes and presented figures to show the employees generally received approxi- mately three times as much now as they did in 1914.
 Although pressed by Senator Kenyon, chairman or the investigating COIniHittcc' Mir Gary refused to discuss the efforts hy President Wilson to bring about an m derstanding between the corporation off, ficiaIs and the union leaders and avert the strike.
 When the President communicates with a private citizen.'' he said, 'it ism courtesy for the person so approached to say what the communication was" Referring at the end of the day to ms general view of the situation, Judge Gary Said
 "The general public now requires in- creased production. That may even neces- sitate increased hours, up to the limil set by the willingness of workers ana their health. But there is no use of talk ing about increased wages and decreased production and at the same time roarin about rising prices. I'm in favor Of h'sn wages, but there comes time wneo there is limit
 'In my views prices are too high rian' now. The right way to do is to lower them first, and decrease wages last. Ina is the policy of the steel industry.
