MOB ATTACKED JAIL

Durham, n. c., July 22-The
Rev. Robert M. Price, pastor of the
Lakewood Methodist church and a
sergeant in the Durham machin
gun company, tonight issued a
sworn statement in which he de-
clares emphatically that masked
mob attempted to storm the Ala
nance county Jail Monday night
and fired upon the machine gun
ners guarding the Jail before the
soldiers fired shot. Sergeant
Price says that he was in command
of the machine gun that fired first,
and that before ordering his men
to fire, he had narrowly escaped in
jury or death from bullets which
whizzed by his head.

Il cold have remained in Tiajuama
as long as was willing to obey the
laws of Lower California, but for a
long time I have wanted to return
and get my troubles adjusted"

enter the ring, even if he serves a

A QUESTION FOR POLITICAL
ECONOMISTS

It is but a little while ago that all
the Economists" and wiseacres gen.
orally were preaching to the wage
workers that the first step in recon-
struction must be increased produc.
ton. Now, for once, we have no
quarrel with the Economists" The
doctrine is rational, or, at least would
be in a rational society. But now
those controlling the means of plo-
duction instead of using labor to pro-
duce to the utmost so as to replace
what has been destroyed in the fear
full war and to create new uti!ICics-
these masters of industry, VIC say,
are closing their factories and con-
signing the workers to idleness. And
there is no whimper from the "eco-
nomists."
Yet it is obvious that world s,;f
fering from the lack of food and
clothes, houses and furniture, cannot
be improved by idleness. True erorgh;
but the controllers of industry do not
seek product but profits; and the
profits they hope to keep at the in
ordinate war time rates by artifcially
adding to the prevailing scarcity.
Surely, we are a wise, advanced,
civilized and democratic people.

WILL LIVE IN TENTS

Birmingham, Ala. - Striking coal
miners in this state will be housed in
tents by the United Mine Workers of
America because of their election
from company houses. The miners
are demanding that coal owners COM
ply with the award of the president s
coal commission, appointed when the
nation wide strike of coal miners
ended last fall. The strikers have
been denied free assemblage and the
state militia has stopped the holding
of public meetings where the miners
tried to discuss their grievances.
At Empire the mine guards broke
into the strikers commissary and took
everything that was movable.
The value Of the property amounted
to several thousand dollars. The
guards claim they seized the prop
erty to satisfy rent claim of $50.
The miners goods were carried to
property owned by the Empire Coal
company.

HAS NOT THE STATE DUTIES AS

During the war, and especially
when conscription had to be defended,

for each. Hurrah for Democracy!
Now, when workingmen are being
thown out of employment through
no fault of theirs, are they ne'nb bArs
of the commonwealth, or are they
not?
Is the State, which claims the right
to take even their lives in it's defense,
not bound now to see that these lives
are safeguarded and made happy =:

THE LABOR PRESS is LABOR'S
MACHINE GUN


The printing press is the machine
gun of the workers. A majority of
the workers are still engaged in using
this machine gun in the interest of
the exploiters against their own class.
The labor press could be most
powerful weapon in the hands of the
workers if they had the knowledge to
identify themselves with it. AS it is,
the worst enemies of the labor press
are to be found among the working
people, among those whose interests
that press is fighting for.
The reason for this is simply igno-
rance, and the ignorance of the masses
of the people is the mainstay of cap
italist exploitation and class rule and
also class justice. To overcome this
ignorance, or rather the Notifications
of self deception, intellectual laziness
and lack of self-confdence that sur
rounds it, more is needed than merely
education.
Education remains futile if it is not
met by the will of the educated, and
this will be absent in many cases. 1t
is the logic of events that must serve
as an eye-opener. 1t is the dialect
of inexorable facts, as they are pro-
duced by the social life of society,
that must function as an educator.
Things are more eloquent than
words; conditions are more convincing
than arguments; fact outweighs rea-
son.
Let reality do it's work, let reality
prepare the soil into which the labor
press will then be able to sow the
seed of thought. The masses of the
working people can stand good
deal in the line of injustice, exploita-
ton, abuse and deception, and our
fathers" were entirely justified in
saying that call mankind are more
disposed to suffer while evils are suf-
ferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed"
On the other hand, a good, wide
awake, up-to-date labor paper can
make a person feel very uncomfort-
able, inasmuch as it compels it's read
ers to do some Independent thinking,
to form judgments of their own, to
revise their old opinions, convictions
and conceptions of things, and to act
intelligently.
A good labor paper is a great stim-
ulator, and most people do not want
to be stimulated; they prefer to sleep
and to dream; and whenever they have
a desire to look at the world at all,
they like to do so through the rose
colored glasses of the capitalist press.
Thus you see the labor press has
to fight against two fronts; against
capitalism on one side, and against
the prejudices, the intellectual lazi-
ness, and the lack of initiative of the
workers themselves. But the fight is
absolutely necessary; there is no way
of avoiding it.
The labor press has become indis-
pensable to modern society in general
and to the working class in particular,
and it will and must continue the fight
for social justice and real democracy,
even though it's worst enemies pretend
to speak and to act in the name of
the working class.

At Home On South Main Street

Deputy Sheriff George +. Helbrook

One of the features was a large birth

POLICE STATION
ALL DOLLED UP
Altopether IS Bold-Eyed Kew
pies Being Nursed By Cap
tain of Police
RIonde. and Brunettes, Longs, Shorts
Fats, Leans and An Array OF
Gowns

Any miss not over a dozen years
old would gladly swap jobs with Put
Mans captain of police If she got a
peek into the captains sanctum TINS
week and saw the array OF kewple
dolls that the captain is nursing one
would doubtless entertain the visitors
noueh better than is the captain, al
though Cap. is a family man ana
knows thing or two about young
sters. But he can not stay at the po-
lice station all of the time and the
l-ewpies are therefore left alone. None
Of the dolls have been undressed since
they were removed to quarters across
the river, and some of them really
need attention, as they are getting
dusty.
The assortment Of young lady dolls
was picked up in a raid on punch
hoard outfit. A woman in the city,
thinking thete was no wrong, took the
agency for the punch boards She
had children out selling chances and
when a child sold out a board the
child got doll, as did also the holder
of the lucky number. The woman re
alized IS cents from the sale OF each
board. The scheme is said to be one
from outside parties.
The doll business was discovered
when tiny tot asked the captain him
self if he didn't want to take a
chance" The captain didn't really
want doll, but he thought if he was
to have one he might as well have
whole family He looked up the ms
tress of the kewpie business and took
fifty-eight dolls away from her and
lodged them in the police station,
where they stall remained 10 to a late
hour Wednesday night. How much
attention the kindergarten gets from
Officers George. Bill. Ernest and Jim
no one knows or no one viii tell, but
It is said that they have given the Wis
tors the once over and each has pick
ed out his favorite IN style and bead
ty.
Besides the hfty-eieht kewpies the
captain took SIS in money, that had
been collected il the venture, which
is also being held. and, if the company
owning the boards puts in an appear
ance for the dolls and money, there
nav be a case in the Putnam city
court with the kewpies as Exhibit A.

When ]. +, Sponcey, a shoemaker
on Canal street, went to his garage in
the rear of the Donahue block, Sun
day morning, to clean up his fiiver, he
did not clean il because there was no
FLYER to clean. Mr.. Sponeey found
the lock ON the garage door broken
and the Ford touring ear missing.
Instead of informing the police at
once Mr.. Sponeey hurried to a nearby
village, there to consult clairvoyant.
He got his moneys worth, but has
not yet located his fiiv., although the
medium told him all about it and de-
scribed the men who took it, but
failed to tell just where Tin Lizzie's
kidnappers are holding her against
her will.
Mr.. Sponeey took along Mrs. Spon-
cey and both were greatly impressed
by the second sight displayed by the
second sight artist and are marvelling
at what they heard, although they are
no nearer riding in their little car
again than they were before. Mr.,
Spencey said that the medium told
him that the car he lost was little
car and in fact it was. She also told
him that it had two old tires on the
rear--it did. She further told him
that the front tires were new-they
were. She said that three men had
stolen his ear and she further told
him that they were the same men that
had stolen all of the other cars in

WERE Mr.. AND MRS. LOVELY
BUT WERE NOT MAN AND WIFE
Brother Found Living With Brothers Better
Half Under Assumed Name
Now In Jail
Says Uncle Tells Her Call Him Papa-ohcer and
In Wreck

Peter Lovely and Levina Lovely, as
they are best known to their acquain-
tances in Putnam, were arraigned in
the Putnam city court Monday morn
ing under the name of Lamoreux,
charged with a statutory offense.
While they were legally Mr. and Mr
Lovely or Lamoreux, they were n Jt
legally man and wife and that is why
they found themselves facing a seri-
Gus charge.
1t was back in June that Alex Love
" reported to the police that his
brother Peter had disappeared with
his, Alexis wife. The pair took the
nine year old child, Pauline, with
them and this was their undoing, for
Alex received a letter stating that II
he did rot come 20 Middletown and
get the child she would be turned over
to the authorities.
Captain Bulger and William Jack
son. Investigator for the states at
torneys' Office. had been working TO
locate the missing pair When the
letter was received Captain Bulger
sent it to Jackson and he went to Md
dletown Saturday night.
Following a plea of not guilty by
Mr.. and Mrs. Lovely, Jackson told the
court that he found the pair working
at the Middletown Hospital. They
we're known there as Mr.. and Mrs.
LeMore He, Jackson, went there
with two other officers.
Lovely first denied that ne ever
lived ir Putnam and said that they
were man and wife, but later he con-
fessed, according to the officer, that
this was not true.
The officer then started for Put
. nam with his prisoners. Jackson was
driving REQ ear. About three-quar-
ters OF mile from Bolton the lights
ON the car went out. 1t was about |
