MooNsHINE CASH IN BANKS


ENTHUSIASTICALLY has be-
come so general in certain moonshine
districts of Georgia that the banks
are embarrassed.
Recently bank at Jacksonville,
a mountain county seat town of
about 200 population, more than
20 miles from railroad, advertised
it would pay four per cent. on de-
posits, and so many persons came
rushing down there with money
that the bank, finding it could not
lend it out as rapidly as it was
coming in, finally had to beg them
not to bring in any more money for
deposits" said Representative Bell
! who has in this district a great
many mountaineer constituents.
"But despite all the federal of
ficers, they never have been able to
stop them from making liquor" he
continued. "Why, one time not so
long ago one of the jails become
so filled they sent other prisoners
to another Jail. The prisoners told
the jailers they liked their cornbred
and did not want any biscuits. The
jailer, big-hearted man, told the
cook to send them cornbred every
day, which he did. These fellows
took the cornbred and with a cof-
fee pot made corn whiskey right in
prison while serving sentences for
violating the law. Sun and New

orders were turned down by whole
salers who were out. From ordinary
gunny sacks / cut stripes seven
inches wide, put two together, raw
elled back three and one half inches

folded in and sewed to end of rugs,
allowing only fringe to show. The
result was highly satisfactory, and
the cost was nothing except my
time, as the sacks contained gro
ceries or feed.

they will be soggy. If left in the
oven just the right length of time,
they are delicious and cannot be

When making any kind of colored

Hint 10 Bread Maker.

Salt is an enemy to the growth
of the tiny yeast plants. So, when
making light bread, leave out the
salt until the last working of the
dough. You will find that the
dough will rise much quicker each
time, and the bread will be lighter.

Smooth Icing

In making icings and cake Filings
use one table spoon full of corn syr-
up to each cup of sugar, and there
win be no danger of the icing's turn
ing to sugar while boiling. The
syrup does not affect the flavor of
the icing or filling.

Sprinkle sugar under the fruit,

parently losing their grip. Much to

electrical contractor in the city with
drew from the "union-busting" organ
ization and signed union shop agree
ments with the Electrical Workers
union. The battle has been in pro-

volved several other unions in this
section of the state. While the So
called "open-shop association" has
been doing considerable advertising
and endeavoring to dismember the
unions, no perceptible advantage has
been gained. In fact, the unions are
increasing in membership and greater
progress in the future is anticipated
as the result of the attacks that have
been made on them.

INFLUX OF IMMIGRANTS

New York-That the threatened
influx of immigrants has started is
evidenced by the report from Ellis
Island for last week. Despite the diff
ficulty in securing passports, over
5000 migrants landed. Superinten-
dent P. A. Baker declares that the
force of inspection will have to be
enlarged to meet the increasing num-
ber now landing and those who are
endeavoring to secure permission to
come over. In telling of his ex-
perience, he said: Immigrants are
coming to this country as fast as the
limited transportation facilities can
bring them. There is every evidence
that, even with the postwar passport
restrictions, there would be the
greatest rush of people to this coun-
try than was ever known in the
history of immigration if there were
only ships to bring them"

LETTER is PRINTED
"Bleating BlantOn" SOlicits Funds
From "FeW Business Men"
to Finance Campaign

Washington - Congressman Thos.
l.. Blanton,. of Texas, has thus far
failed to lodge a complaint with the
department of justice as to the al
legged robbery committed in his office,
in which he alleges certain papers
were taken which somehow later on
found their way into the public prints.
The paper taken from his files over
which Mr.. Blanton grieves most seri-
ously was letter appealing for funds
for his reelection. Mr.. Blanton comes
from Texas and the letter in question
was received by a man in Maine. The
appeal for funds was signed by Blan-
toms brother, who is also his cam
paign manager, and sought money
from a "few business menn", "who
have evidenced a special interest in
his work"
This letter was made public by
Matthew Woll, president of the Photo
Engravers' union and vice president
of the American Federation of Labor,
to whom a friend gave copy. When
Woll made it public, Blanton charged
that this explained the mysterious
robbery" of his desk. Mr.. VOLTS
comments ON this wall from the
"bleating, blatant" one follows:
commenting on the fact that
made public copy of a letter mailed
by William Blanton, Congressman
Blanton of Texas charges that his
desk was robbed and that Matthew
Woll solved the mystery that he and
the American Federation of Labor
possessed at least one of the missing
files A great many persons have
amused the world by starting a cry
of fire to detract attention from their
own performances. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Blanton will get everybody
properly aroused over the alleged
burglary of his desk. It is to be
hoped that he will arouse the depart
ment of justice among others.
"Of course, the charge of burglary
is not only false and ridiculous, but
it is likewise childish and puerile;
however, it is all very much like
Representative Blanton. He has been
characterized in the house by a con-
tinuous exhibition Of buster which
he seems determined to carry over
into the campaign as his chief asset
in getting reelected.
"a certain parsonage, famous in
American politics, once advised other
politicians never to write letters.
Next to getting burglar-proof lock
on safes and desks, the best thing to
do is never to write letters which
may become embarrassing when made
public. This, however, is not the
least of the lessons Mr.. Blanton has
to learn"

"ROCkefeIIer a Piker"

New York-"Why, Rockefeller was

remarked Brooklyn Borough Presi-
dent Reigelman after Commissioner
of Accounts Wood d. Loundoun, who
was testifying before the board of
estimates relative to the facts he dis
covered in going over the accounts of
the Transit Development company,
called the mystery company" of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, had
revealed some of the transactions of
the company named. Mr.. Loundoun
stated that the mystery company"
had managed to pay dividends of So,
8761 900 in 16 years on capital of
1000, an aggregate dividend per-
centage of 1922 per cent, or about
46O per cent year. In looking over
the debit and adjustment entries Mr..
Loundoun came across an item of
special reserve, $500,000." He testi-
fed that he had been unable to find
anybody who could tell him what this
particular entry was about. The ac-
counting officer said it had been made
before his regime.

Injunctions Vacated

Albany-Judge Wesley P. Howard
in the supreme court here ordered
vacated the temporary injunction OBJ
tanned by textile mill owners in Co
hoes, Waterford and Troy restraining
5000 members of the United Textile
Workers of America from striking.
Another motion denied by Judge
Howard sought to declare forty
women workers ofthe Erie mills in
Cohoes in contempt of court for leav-
ing their work after the temporary
injunction had been served. They
complained that they were "ill and
tired"
An order seeking to restrain en-
ployes of the Erie mill from refus-
ing to work with John Flood, an
officer of the Amulet Association of
Jack Spinners, also was denied by
Judge Howard.
The proceedings grew out of a dis
agreement between the United Textile
Workers Of America and the Amulet
Association of Jack Spinners who Sc
ceded from the United Textile Work
ers and officials of the parent organ
ization called a strike for May, 10
which was prevented by order of the
court.

LOOSE TALK ABOUT SMALLER
PRODUCTION

New York-In addressing a meet
ing of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, of which he is
president, F. J. Miller said:
"There is a good deal of loose talk
about decreased production. / am
not so sure that production has de-
creased generally; in some plants the
productivity of the workers has in
creased. 1t depends very much upon
how you treat the men, and also very
much upon how we'll the administra-
tive functions of an establishment
are carried on. The question is:
Does the management inspire the
men to do their best? When the
management fails to lead or to in
spire, it is easy to blame our troubles
on the wicked workers.
Management must realize that the
worker has grown conscious of his
human rights and he demands a
larger share in the fruits of civiliza-
tion. The worker does not want
shower baths in the factory; he wants
shower bath in his home. He wants
good wages so that he may have his
own home supplied with the con-
veniences and comforts of modern
civilization. And he wants leisure
to enjoy what good things, material
and spiritual, life has to offer u.s."

TION OF OUTRAGE
The Murder of Ten Men, Including
the Mayor, Result From At
tempt to Organize Miners

Washington-The killing of 10 men
at Matewan, w. Va, by murderous
band of Representatives of the Bald
win-Felts detective agency, employed
for years by the coal companies of the
state to prevent the miners from or
ganizing, commenced their attack on
Mayor Cabell Testman, of that town,
who protested against their attempt
to usurp the laws of the state, and
who fell mortally wounded, shot by
the leader of the murderous hirelings.
The shooting resulted in President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers telegraphing Gov. Cromwell,
requesting that he take prompt ac-
tion to "prevent further lawless ac-
tivities by the murderous hirelings of
the cola operators"
President Gompers in a letter to
Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
committee on labor and education,
asks that he have his committee in
vestigate the killing of the ten men
at Matewan, W.. Va, by the repre-
sentatives of the Baldwin-Felts de-
tectives. His letter in part follows:
"The men were shot and killed by

Of private interests. The men who
were killed were interested only in
seeing that the statutes and the con-
stiution of the state and of the United
State were respected, according to
the newspaper reports of the out
break
"It will be remembered that a
public official, testifying in the in
vestigation of 1928 before the
committee of which you are now
chairman, swore that the constitution
of the United States did not apply in
West Virginia. 1t was brought out
that miners had been kidnapped and
given long sentences by drum-head
court-martial. This official was not
rebuked by West Virginia for his
testimony as to its lawlessness. On
the contrary, he was appointed by the
governor of the state to be "the i'm
partial investigator of crime against
the miners, their wives and their chill
dren," in the mining camp of Guyan
Valley. and this within the year.
'For generation the only law in
the mining camps of West Virginia,
save in those few instances where the
power of organized labor and out
ragged public opinion has forced a re-
turn to constitutional methods has
been the law of the thug and the gun
man disguised as deputy sheriffs and
