Twenty-Five rubber companies in
Akron, Ohio, confronted with the prob
lem of transporting $4,000 employees to
and from work during a recent street
car strike, operated several hundred
motor trucks on schedules that enabled
them to move the large force of people
without loss Of time.
The city was divided into zones and
the vehicles routed over the principal
streets with dispatchers stationed at
)congested points to load the crowds
and keep the trucks moving. Each truck
bore sign dicating the route it
Travelled. They were parked near the
factories by curb stone standards which
also told the route they followed. En-
ira crews kept the trucks in operation
over night owl runs. The service main

One Of the innovations of the strike
was the mastering into service of Il

The tandem rear axle arrangement
made possible greater traction and
easier riding, and enabled the huge bus
to carry enormous loads during the
strike.

| Mr.. Gompers insists that the worker
be free. man. Which is precisely of
course, what we all insist upon. 1t is,
Furthermore, what we are going to
have in this free country of ours, I'M
less we can make up our minds to sit
placidly by while the country goes 70
smash.
The worker must be absolutely
lfree-free to cork or not to work !:
free to work for whom he chooses and
for whatever pay he chooses to ac-
cept; free to join labor union or
not join one, as he sees fit: free to
work under union dictators or free
to work under decisions which he him
self personally hands down as govern
ing his own movements; free to quit
work or to remain at work whenever
he thinks he can better himself by
either course. And this quite irrespec-
tive of the views of any fellOwwOrker
or any organized body of fellow work
ers.
And, above all. our American worker
must be free from ann0yances, persecu-
tons, threats or intimidations ad-
dressed to him or his dependents be-
cause somebody else does not approve
the wages, the terms or the conditions
of employment Which are to him per-
sonally acceptable.
And more than that, our Ameri-
can worker must have free access TO
a tribunal with power to lay before
that tribunal complaints which those
who are his paymasters may refuse to
heed.
With the entire case of OPPRESSION
If it prove to be one, spread before
that tribunal, there would be final
appeal to the bar of public opinion. and
the full pressure of condemnatory pub
lie opinion is something neither en-
plOyer nor labor union ever yet has
been able to resist or ever will be able
to resist; whenever it is cXerted, it
is bound to prevail.
Our American worker must be free
to present his case either through the
medium of n national or n local labor
union, or through II shop committee, or
through whatever he himself elects as
the best vehicle of approach to the es-
tablishel tribunals attention.
And the collary of this freedom of
the American worker is the correspond
ing freedom of the employer to have
exclusively labor union employees in
his establishment, or to throw that eS-
Establishment open to any and all free
American workers who may find its
terms and working conditions to them
satisfactory.
! Mr.. Gompers is right-doubly quad
ruply right. There is no room in this
country for those who would put
shackles on the American worker.
There is no room here for either the
tyranny of an employer or the tyranny
of labor union. There must he free
dom, absolute and complete. for our
American worker. And. if we mis-
take not the tendency OF the times, the
day when that entire freedom shall
stand out clear and unchallenged is
fast drawing near.

city.
Memphis, Tenn, July II, (Special.)
Webster City will be visited in early
August by party of 90 farm boys
from the state of Louisiana. They
will spend several hours seeing and
learning things about general farming
and live stock raising while in Webster
City
They will make the stop as part of
n trip through Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Missouri which has been ar
ranged for and will be supervised by
representatives of the Louisiana state
department of agriculture, the extern
sion forces of the L. S. department of
agriculture and the Louisiana state
board Of education. All expenses,
amounting to $50 for each boy, or
nearly $4,000, will be paid, chiefly by
civic organizations and individuals in
the communities from which the boys
come. They will make the two weeks
trip in a special train.
Purpose to Learn.
The purpose is to give the boys in
struction in general farming methods
and live stock raising, which is coming
to be of big Importance in Louisiana
after its years Of producing little else
than cotton, rice and cane. 1t is realiz-
ed that proper instruction of the farm
boys will insure Il firm foundation for
LOuisiana's future development as
farming state, a goal toward which
she now is very rapidly building. The
state has fine farm lands that are still
very cheap. Its winters are short ana
mild and the growing season so long
that two crops are very often grown
on the same land in single year. That
the best advantage may be taken OF
these natural conditions, the boys are
being interested in the Iowa methods
that have made that state famous.
Beside the visit to Webster City, the
lads will visit Waterloo, Ames and Des
Moines. They also will stop in Illinois
and Wisconsin. 1t is expected they
will spend three hours in Webster
City, probably about August 10.

fought a desperate duel over the re-
spective merits of their paintings, o.
G. Landley, painter, and r. 81. Pot
sy, a house decorator, cut each other
to pieces yesterday afternoon in the
sacred name Of art.
1t is true that Landley paints moth
ing but the outside Of houses and
that Potsy decorates nothing but the
inside walls, but that didn't prevent
their artistic natures from clashing,
and to it they went, each with long
bladed pocket knife. Landley was
badly cut on the neck and Potsy on
the body. They are at the hospital
today, and when the surgeons are
through with them the police will
take a hand.
Neither man is dangerously
wounded.

candidates.
But the music-it simply swept the
convention off it's feet.
They would have been enthusiastic
sessions without. the music. The DEM
onstrations were spontaneous and
full of pep, even while an candidates
following was small. The audience
was so interested in the speeches
Wednesday that it could not help but
butt in with comments of its own,
starting to cheer before the proper
time and climbing up on it's chairs.
Splinters flew from the pile of boards
on the speakers table on which Chair
man Robinson plies his gavel, and
sergeants-at-arms were kept busy re-
questing excited delegates and spec
tators to sit down.
From the first the music took more
