The OK as beast Of burden is COM

a dispatch from Lewiston. Me-, and
the oxsling and apparatus used by
blacksmIths in shoeing the animals,
long ago thrown into the discard, is
in use again. The sling consists Of a

OF the frame In blacksmith shops 20
years ago the sllngs were common.
Oxen are less expensive to feed than
horses and are equally as useful on
small farms, and the rising value of
feed is having much to do with the
comeback Of the OK as a work animal.

BOSTON. Mass. Sept. 15.-
While unions thruout the city
were voting today on the qoes
tion of general strike Ia sym
pathy with the striking polboe-
men, prominent labor leaders
had n conference with Police
Commissioner Curtis at which
the situation was discussed.
The labor leaders present were:
John r. MoInnes. president of the
pollcemen's union. Guy oyster. per
sonal representative OF Samuel
Gompcrs: NJ. J. oDonnell OF the
Central Labor union; Frank II. Nc
Carthy OF the American Federation
Of Labor. and Martin T. Joyce.
After being closeted with the com
missioner for half an hour. the
labor men declared they had no
statement 10 make. Commissioners
Curtis likewise declined to talk.
New Police Hired
That Curtis reiterated TO the Ia
bor men his refusal to reinstate any
of the police who went on strike,
was assumed in view OF the fact
that Curtis announced that 80 can
didates for places on the new police
force were ready to be sworn in
The majority OF the applicants are
war veterans, II was stated.
This conference was believed to
mark the end OF negotiations be
tween the authorities and the labor
lenders innsmuch as both Governor
Coolidge and Commissioner Curtis
have stated that the STRIKERS will
not be reinstated and that further
discussion would be futile.
The unions now voting on the
svmpathetic strike question are do
ing so at the request Of the Central
Labor union.
While there is much talk OF n
general strike. the serious possiblli-
Ties of which are fully realized by
the authorities, the belief was
strong today that such action will
not be taken.
