AS an unaffiliated union they have
the full right of any employees to- go

Mr.. Harris. keeps, harpinf on the
Strike Of stheBoston polic9 :.n he
would take the pains to. 1eeR mp that
strike. and if he really did % With
an open mind, he would find thatssths
charter of the Boston Policemen's
union issued by the A. F. Of L. con-
tanned an anti-strike clause. But the
kind Of union labor opposition such as
is represented by Mr.. Harris In Du-
1uth, got very much wrought up over
a Policemen's union affiliated with the
Federation Of Labor; they
reached the governor Of the state, who
in. turn directed the police commits
sioner Of Boston to give every 2mem-
Der Of the Policemen's union until five
o'clock on a certain night to file with
him either his resignation as q. mem
ber Of the force or his notice Of with
drawal from the union.
The policemen were among the low
est paid in the country. They had been
forced to organize and about the only
encouragement they had gotten waa
since they had organized. So when
each officer was handed the commis-
sioner's notice giving. him his choice,
TN nearly every instance his resigna-
ton as q policeman was handed in and
he refused to withdraw from his union.
Governor Coolidge gave notice that he
had q volunteer police force necessary
should the men resign. sr,.ss
The commissioners order became:
effective at five o'clock, but the vol
unteer police force was not called into
service until eight o'clock the, next
Boston was without spolice
protection for Is hours, during which
time, it is said. considerable disorder:
prevailed. Why was not this, volunteer
police force called to duty at five
O'clock? Why did the Boston police
commissioner wait until eight o'clock
the next morning? Governor Coolidge
has never been able to explain
Since the unbiased and disinterested
people of Massachusetts, learned Of the
scheming and cunning Of Governor
Coolidge in that strike" has anyone
heard his name mentioned for either
President or vice president of thu
United States? He dropped out Of the
limelight as suddenly as he came, into:
it. So much for the Boston strike.
No one disagrees with Mr.. Harris 81
his contention that a police officers,
owes his undivided allegiance TO ana
protection of the rights and interests
Of all the people of the community.
His affiliation with the A. F..tof L..
would not make that duty or obliga.
ton subrdinate to his membership IN
the union. The American Fsdsra-
ton Of Labor stands for government,
for law Sand order and It believes
In them.
Now Mr.. Harris wants ,Conalais-
sioner Murnian to declare himseIf IN
advance % to what he will do u the
event the police vote to affiliate with
the American Federation Of Labor.
They are asking Q good deal Of Mr.
Murnian. Indeed the language of their
letter would mediate that they wanted
to put him IN q hole, knoEtng that he

a President and a congress sworn to-
destroy, root and branch, all such in
vasions Of constitutional rights and to
impose an effective curb on the exec
utive power.
Let us remember also that while
we may soon be at peace with Ger

with Mexico whenever a reactionary
President receives the sign from those
capitalistic bankers who for five
years have worked for Mexican inter-
vention. A war with Mexica or with
Timbuctoo would be all the pretext
needed to revive all the laws of es-
pionage and suppression which may
automatically be Cancelled by the proc
{lamation of peace.
There are many signs indicating
that political upheaval of enormous
proportions is in the making. There
is unrest among the four great ele-
mental classes of the people, labor, the
farmers; the middle class and the SOL
diers. This unrest, except perhaps in
the case Of labor, has not yet become
articulate, nor does it yet function ef-
fectively, but it is there, waiting
merely for the right word to be spoken
blythe leader. who knows how to call
the masses into motion"
1T is true that Gompers proposes
to cling to his time-worn slogan, De-
feat our enemies and reward our
. friends but it is also true that when
he decided to create a political ma
chine within the labor movement by
which to make his slogan effective and
called upon city centrals and the local
8 unions to perfect their local organiza-
tiohs and enter into politics. at that
very moment the entire political policy
OF the American Federation Of Labor
. was changed, whether Gonpers willed
1t or not.
I'm the past the activities Of the fed
GRAFTON have consisted largely of
speeches by Mr.. Gompers and other
tried and true union officials and per-
) functory appeals from federation
headquarters to support a certain
party or certain candidate.
1T is an axiom Of the American
laborymovement that the international
unions are more radical than the fed
.sseration, the city centra1s more radical
than the internationals, and the locals
most radical Of all. If Gompers could
have built his political machine in CO.
operation with those international
unioris officials, who are in accord with
the Political conservativism of the
executive council, It might have been
possible for him to maintain the old
time eentralization Of political author
ity. But he was forced by circum-
stances to go directly to the city cen
trails and local unions, and thus, to a
large decree, to deceptralize and de-
mocratize federation politics. Before

LOCAL TALENT PLAY
PROVES GOOD AND
AMUSING COMEDY
UNTIRING EFFORTS OF PLAYERS
ARE REWARDED BY GOOD AND
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCES

The play "And Home Came Ted
given in the opera house Monday and
tuesday nights by local talent drew
good audiences both evenings, the one
on Tuesday evening having much
better attendance, however, and the
play passing off more smoothly.
At each performance there was
room in the opera house for larger
patronage and those who did not at
tend missed a good treat and IAN
evening of fun and wholesome anu
sement. While it should not be ex-
pected that amateurs could fill the
shoes of the professional, yet every
one in the cast of characters showed
ability in the dramatic line and were
far ahead of many SO called profess
sionals who have appeared on the
stage in this city. Thos. Bracken Jr.
as Skeet Kelly the clerk, Veva Man.
deville as Diana Garwood the heiress
Vest Lowry as Miss Loganberry, the
Spinster, Sylvester O'Connor as Ira
Stone the villain, Valeria Smith as
Jubilee the cook, Harry Holmes as
the Man of Mystery, Arnold Schmidt
as Jim Ryker the lawyer, Bessie
Bracken as Mollie the housekeeper,
Mrs. Grace Strunk as the widow,
Bert Batchelor as Ted the groom,
Marvel Klock as Eliza the bride and
E. ID. Engemann as Senator Corkle,
composed the cast and carried their
parts in a very creditable manner
and to the satisfaction of the audi
ence which found expression in the
liberal applause accorded them. The
play is a sparkl ng bit of comedy in
three acts which with just enough
humor and plot in it to make it in
teresting. Hales orchestra gave fine
touches of music between acts.

vided between the Catholic church

TURN TO
SORGHUM SYRUP
AS THEIR SWEET|NG
SUGAR SHORTAGE CAUSES FAR
MERS TO GROW PATCH OF
HOMEGROWN SWEETS

AS result of the high price and
threatened shortage of sugar many
Michigan farmers are turning to sor-
ghum as a sirup crop, declares Prof.
]. F. Cox, head of the farm crops de-
partment at M. A. c.. A number Of
new sorghum mills have started up
over the state and indications point to
a record production of homegrown"
sirup during the coming season.
under present conditions it would
be a good thing for many farmers to
grow a half acre or acre of sorghum"
says Professor Cox. "The usual yield
is from so to 75 gallons per acre, tho
few have produced more than that.
The early Amber variety is the best
for sirup purposes, giving the best
yield and having the sweetest juice.
Michigan seed companies can furnish
seed.
"The crop is planted on ground pre-
pared in the same way that land Is
prepared for corn. 1t usually does
best when planted the latter part of
the corn growing season, in late May
or early June. A good piece of fall
plowed land that has been manured
will give best yields.
"When sorghum is planted for sirup
6 or pounds Of seed should be planted
in rows 36 to AZ inches apart, using an
ordinary corn planter. Cultivation is
similar to that for corn.
"The crop should be cut in the dough
stage before the seed becomes hard.
The leaves are usually stripped while
the canes are in the field, though this
is not necessary. The stripping Of
the leaves increases fthe yield of
the juice a little and insures a better
quality. One ton of cane will yield
from 500 to 1000 pounds of juice
which will make from 8 to 25 gallons
of sirup. An acre should yield from
6 to 10 tons of cane"

DEATH Of LOCAL
2.YEAR OLD CHILD
REMOVED COVERING-PLUNGED
HEADLONG, BREAKING NECK
N ID CRUSHING SKULL

The cistern in the rear of the M.
A. Ryerson home, known as the old
stocking place, just this side of Can
mons pond in the south part of the
city claimed the life of Albert, the
two year old son of Mr.. and, Mrs. M.
A. Ryerson, Friday eveningfat about
six O'clock when the little tot sue
ceeded in removing the boards which
formed a covering for the top and
plunged headlong down to his death.
The child, in falling, struck so that
his skull was crushed very badly and
in addition the neck was broken.
The baby had been playing around
the house as usual up to within about
fifteen minutes of the time his little
body was found and had not been
missed, The discovery was made
when Mrs. Ryerson asked her BROTH
er-in-law, Joe Ryerson, to draw her
pail Of water from the cistern.
When he went to lower the pail pre-
paratory to drawing it up filled with
water, he was Mortified to see the
small body at the bottom of the cis>
tern. The child was Immediately ta-
ten out and valiant efforts were made
to resuciate it but to no avail. 1t was
at first thought that death was due
to drowning, but the broken neck
and crushed skull were very nearly
unmistakeable evidence that these in
juries caused death.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon from the home, Rev. w.
Bliss officiating and burial was in the
River Ridge cemetery.
Mrs. Ryerson was in critical con-
dition as a result of the babv's death
and she required the attention Of .
physician for some time before she
showed any signs of Improvement.

Reasons given by the Farm Pureau

from the country districts.
Inc nlgures obtained in the survey
were that the farming Sections az
Michigan lack 24,00O farm hands this
year; that there are approximately
ll,o57 farms in the state that wifi
not be worked this summer; that the
percentage of decrease in cultivated
lands in 1920 from 1919 is 1873.
And In addition to the loss in pro.
ductlon these idle lands will cause.
there will be deprecated production

any increase in dairy cows, and the
reports from all were practically unS

duclng size of herds, and that dairy
production in Michigan in the last
year has decreased to the extent Of

While farmers need labor badly. it
not city vacationists who will solve
the problem. The Fa mrBureau in

are inexperienced in farming and as
IN any, other business, they cannot
learn how" in the two weeks Off
that most of them have in the sum-
mertime, and two weeks assistance
also, would not meet the Average
farmers needs. The farmers have
made this plain, the Farm Bureau
asserts. despite the considerable
agitation by well meaning folks to
send vacationists to the rural dis
tricts.
