ployers must make no further at
tCmpts to force working people to
vote as they want them to- by fright
ening them by shutting down fac
tories and reducing wages, declared
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, adj
dressing the annual convention of the
New York State Federation Of La
Dor today
Some corporate interests are try
ing to scare the men of labor" said
Mr.. Gompers.
I'VE found such conditions recent
" existing in number of plants and
particularly the wooden mills of New
England and in the Pennsylvania
railroad company's affairs, where at
tempts are being made to shut down
factories and reduce wages. There
is not now in the storehouses of the
country sufficient to meet the need3
of the people and the shutting down
is for the obvious purpose of repeat
ing the old policy of the corporations
and big business to brighten the pao-
pie by telling them if they vote one
way they will be kept out of work"
President Gompcrs said that the
Pennsylvania railroad told him that
1900 men were taken off because
they were not needed. Ten days
later. he said, the company issued
orders that it would have to shut
down in the handling Of freight since
there was labor shortage.
wv shall sec further such at
tempts as the weeks go on until elen-
ton day" he declared. If such at
tempts are made he was satisfied
that the working people of the United
States will give the answer:
Either take off your coercion or
you'll have to do your own work"

You are a liar when YOU suggest
anything like that" exclaimed Mr..
Coakley, jumping to his feet
Quizzed on Assets
The lie was passed three times,
without retort by the receiver except
Thank YOU" Then the examina-
ton turned again to inquiry of Ponzi
as to what had become of supposed
gilt edged securities valued at $4,000

Tells of Various Loans
Ponzi told of loans of $4,000 each
to Henry Chmielinski, president and
William S. McNary, treasurer of the
Hanover Trust Company, which was
Ponzi's principal depository and
which went to the wall with his COL

who obtained the money. and for what
purpose. PonZi replied that he had
withdrawn the money himself to pre-

it later in other banks, little at a
time. These checks constitute the
only evidence so far disclosed at the
hearings of Withdrawals by Ponzi

Fad in Hyoiene

Public hygiene. like everything else
is subject to fads. says the Maine De-
partment of Health, and none are
more noticeable than lfads in clothing
Persons of strong vitality can stand
it to wear the same weight of cloth
inS summer and winter but not all of
US can. SO don't get the fad of wear
ing your summer clothing in zero
weather, especially up here in Maine
There's lot of talk about tougher
ing yourself" but many people have
been seriously injured in attempting
such nonsense. Don't be ashamed
and deluded into wearing thin cloth
ing just because it is the style when
the weather calls for something thick
Don't try the toughening theory.

9.55 o'clock this morning and 25 min
utes later the certification of the rati-
ficatiOn was in the mails on its way
to Washington. The petitioners who
obtained the injunction and anti
suffragists generally were amazed at
the coup and the former in a formal

Governor Roberts wouldt make no

garded the battle ended so far as
