Police Clubs Win Battle
With Slum Dregs by
Nelson Statue.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-For the second
time within a fortnight 10000 poverty
stricken men and women have swept
up from the East End to parade their
rags and hunger before London's up
rer classes, and for the second time
the stern military efficiency OF the
metropolitan police has prevented a
demonstration which might have ended
in horror.
The jobIess thousands are back
again in the slums with little accom-

a few policemen's heads. They looted.
or attempted to loot. a few cheap
restaurants. They hurled a few bricks
and clubs at their hereditary enemies,
and then scattered and took up the
weary march back to the slums from
which they came.
Police Prevent Attacks.
But for a time the situation was
ugly. Only the strategy of the blue
coats prevented a masSed attack upon
the shops, restaurants and hotels OF
the West End.
From Mile End Road to Cambridge

Square, the demonstrators proceeded
without interference But at this open
place they were met by 1000 police
and hundreds Of Scotland Yard men,
mounted and unmounted. who sought
to turn them back.
As the uniformed men charged with
drawn clubs, the crowd scattered TO
let them through. Then 1t closed in on

Working with splendid precision, the

Trafalgar Square, in the meantime

First Number On Hi-Y Lecture
 Course To Be Given October

For the past 10 years the Young Mems Christian Association and the Phoenix union high school have been running what is known as the "Hl-Y" lecture course. They bring to ehe city every year a group of high class artists in different lines and give the people of Phoenix an opportunity to hear real constructive, educational Lyceum artists.
 This course has grown more popu- lar every year and the last two years every seat in the high school audi torium has been sold for the entire season reservations. This years course the committee in charge feels is the best ever brought here. and it is confident that the patrons will greatly appreciate the high class ma terial on this winters program.
 Possibly the two best known num- bers on the course for this year are Paulo Gruppe and assisting artists and Barbara Maurel. No higher grade of music in their respective lines can be heard on any course. The Gruppe company consists of Paulo Gruppe, ceIlist: Camille Plasschaert, violin ist; Frank Oglesby. tenor; Corey Williamson Smith, pianist. Gruppe has toured a number of foreign coun- tries as well as America and is a natural born musician. He is intel lectually and emotionally admirably balanced and is considered one of the greatest artists of the present day Frank Oglesby, whose beautiful and cultivated tenor has made him a pro- nounced favorite wherever he ap- pears. is indeed a delightful artist Plasschaert is of Belgian and French descent is the daughter of the fam.

COTTON PACKERS
 T0 BE SUPPLIED BY ASSOCIATION

It will be of interest to the cotton growers to know that plan has been worked out whereby the Arizona Cot ton Growers association will be able to bring into the valley an additional supply or cotton pickers during the present season.
 Unoer recent arrangements, this association is now under the control of representatives of the farm bureau, one member on the board of direc- tors of the Arizona Cotton Growers association having been recently elected from each local farm bureau in the county.
 A plan has been worked out under which the funds necessary to carry on the work of the association will be made available through agreement of the various cotton ginning con cerrs whereby they undertake to provide such funds. without increas- ing the charge for ginning The bringing in of pickers is all ready under way and within the next few days, it is expected that addi- tional cotton pickers will be coming in regularly.
 Under the present plan. 1t Is ex- pected that the representatives from each local farm bureau who has been elected as member of the board of directors of the Arizona Cotton Crow CTS association will report to the members of his local farm bureau frequently SO that all concerned may be advised of the labor situation and what is being done to provide the necessary seasonal labor to take care of this years cotton crop. If this is done, it Is believed by the present board of directors of the association that all cotton growers in the valley will be fully informed at all times as to just what is being done and thus secure the hearty support of the as- sociation by cotton growers generally throughout the valley.
 To hold down the expenses of the association. all cotton pickers will be distributed to growers at the asso- ciation's office in Tempe, so all desir- ling pickers should make their apph- cation at that office and be prepared to call there and get their pickers when notified that their orders car be filled.
