stripes in vertical position, show
ing one. side only, the union should
be at the right as one faces it.
When hung with the stripes in a
horizontal position the union should
be at the left. When hung across a
street the blue field should be to
the North on Streets running East
and West and to the East on streets
running north and south. The flag
should always be placed above the
head, When two flags are hung to-
gether or crossed the unions should
always be placed together.

STIRRING MINERS TO BE
 ORDERED BACK TO WORK

Indianapolis, 1ad, Sept. 2s.-Alexander Howat, president of the Kansas Coal Miners was directed today by the vote of the convention of the United Mine Work CTS of America to order strikers at two Kansas mines back to work, but imme- diately after the conventions decision he declared he would not carry out the order. No announcement was made by the union officials what steps, if any, would be taken to enforce the decision. In voting, the convention had before it Howat's assertion that he would be ex- pelled from the union before he would obey such an order.
 By it's vote the convention sustained President John l.. Lewis and other in- ternational officials in ordering the re- sumption of work, which had not been obeyed by Howat All of the anti-ad- ministration element was lined up behind Howat, but the roll call showed an un- official majority of 926 for the order, the vote being 2,701 to 1,775. Howat's op- position to the order was that it would support operators seeking to violate con- tracts with miners by imposing new working conditions, but President Lewis declared the issue was whether the union held it's own men to the fulfllment oi their contracts.
 Only six of the 27 districts in the union stood by Howat, who gained his greatest support by carrying the biz Illinois deegation S75 to 55.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY CRITICIsEs
 JUDGE LAZARUS DECISION

San Francisco, Sept 2S.-Assertions that Police Judge Sylvain Lazarus treat ed the case of Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle differently from the usual case were made in a long statement issued tonight by District Attorney Matthew A. Brady The statement quoted what purported to be the exact words of Judge Lazarus with the assertion that it was indicative of his attitude.
 "If Roscoe Arbuckle were unknown and unimportant," Brady's statement ,ie- cared, he would have been held for mur- der. Judge Lazarus plainly statel that more evidence would be required in this case than in any other case for he reason that the defendant was an inn portant celebrity"
 Bradys statement quoted Judge Laza- rus as having said in court today: "The district attorney has attempted to give us the impression that the proof reuuir- ed in this present case warrantfrg a 1 holding, should not any further than would be required or necessary in any other case. But I say that this is really an important case we need not dis guise that fact or beguile ourselves into i the idea that we are handling here just | the ordinary trivial case, if you wish to l put it that way. which frequently comes l up in the police court
 The district attorney declared Judge l Lazarus action in holding Arbucll1e for ] manslaughter to be wholly mystify:ng' ''
 Brady then cited the law as defining deaths ensuing from felonious acts as ! murder and those resulting from r1is- | demeanors to be manslaughter and cor l tinued:
 Judge Lazarus took the view that the killing of Virginia RaDpe may have re. suited from wholly innocent and trivia act. and said the defendant may hav$ | slapped her and been guilty of notning l more than a simple battery. It is tr,I; that the defendant did commit an act e battery upon Virginia Rape, but the teati mony shows he did a great deal nor, and that these acts were entirely feIon ious in their nature.
 Tn holding the defendant to answe upon the charge of manslaughter Judg. Lazarus admite that the evidence show ed that the defendant was criminallv re sponsble fo- the death of Virgini; Rappe.
 "If the defendant was criminally re sponsible for her death, he should hav been tried for murder and not for man slaughter It Is entirely immateriai Ina
 he did not intend to kill ner
 Insofar as the amount of proof concerned, the law makes no distin.tio,
 between important cases and trivial cases. Neither does the law in it's treat
 ment of men make any distinction be tween important defendants and triv | iaP defendants"
