10000 ON STRIKE :
in NEW YORK CITY
Garment Workers Are Ex-
pected to Remain Out
D. a Long Time. 4

New York, Nov. 14-Sixty thou
sand garment workers we're called
out on strike this morning in pro-
test against the piece work system
and an increase from 40 to 81 hours
a week which was TO be put into eff
feet today by their employers. There
were many indications that the strug-
gle might be a prolonged one.
Officers OF the International Ladies'
Garment Workers union met their
representatives in the 5000 shops in
volved early this morning and to give
them final instructions for the con-
duct OF the strike.
All efforts at arbitration OF the Isl
sues involved have failed Secretary
OF Labor Davis, United States sena-
tors and State Industrial Commission
er Sayer have Intellectually tried to
conciliate employers and workers.
Louis Lustig, president of the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufa cturers'
Protective association in a statement
last night charged the union workers
with failing to aid the employers in
their efforts to increase production
and thus lower prices on womens
clothing. The strikers in turn
charged the employees with violating
a trade agreement which left the ses-
sion of working conditions to a by
partisan commission which was to
have reported November |. The piece
work system means a return of the
"sweatshop" they declared.
Union leaders declared last night
that the workers finances are in ex-
cellent shape In preparation for a
five months struggle, they said they
would seek to raise a 100000 fund
for relief of the strikers and their
families. Officials of the amalgamat-
ed clothing workers and other unions
have promised to aid the garment
workers union by contributions from
their members they said.

MISS DEATH AN HOUR
Sixty Minutes Stood Between Avia-

Chocran, Ontario, Jan. 5.-Bare
sixty minutes stood between three
American naval balloonists and
death, when they landed in the Cana

If they had continued their flight
sixty minutes longer they would have
landed in the icy waters of James
Bay, facing certain death.
After landing in the snow covered
florists they ate their carrier pigeons
and then met an Indian who hailed
them as "star men from the sky"
They made their way to the near

the Department as to their where

are expected to reach civilization

AMERICAN LEGION ISSUES
Def TO NON-PARTISANS
No Man Convicted of Espionage Can
Head Any Organization Say
Legionairres

Salina, Kan, Jan. 5.-The Ameri-
can Legion is organizing a speaking
campaign to combat the Non-Parti-
san League, following Legion meet
ings attended by hundreds of farmers
The Legion has thrown down the
challenge that no man convicted Of
espionage can head any organization
in this state, and that they would OPP
pose any organization that applauded
the statement that 1--WE all deserved
to be shot in France"
The Legion is bitterly opposed to
the Non-Partisan League for the rea-
son that the head of the organizatino
A. c. Townley was convicted Of es-
pionage during the war, and have
made life more or less burden for
League organizers.
Townley came to Salina a short
time ago and defied the American
Legion which intensified the feeling
already existing. Now the Legion
plans to let the people of KANSAS
and Oklahoma know just what the
Townley organization amounts to.

a nice business already.

JOHN |. BOLES GETS
FIRST ROYALTY CHECK
Big Gas Well Begins Paying Owner Of
Land. Received $50 Check
From Company
LIBERAL FIELDS FIRST ROYALTY

The first royalty check ever given
for production in the Liberal field
was received by John L. Boles a few
days ago.
The big gas well brought in last
July by the American Fuel Oil &
Transportation Company was loca-
ted on the Boles farm, and the COM
pany has piped the gas to the Bunt-
ing farm, making it a commercial
well, and thus subject to the pay
ment of royalty.
This is the first royalty check paid
in the Liberal field, but from present
outlook it will not be the last by
any means.
Mr.. Boles is to be congratulated on
being the first to get production and
here's hoping that further drilling
of the well will bring hi mfabulous
sums in oil royalty.

WOULD THROTTLE THE PRESS
Pulls Advertisement to Squelch Paper
Because Policy Doesn't Suit.

The Democrat has made more or
less of a reputation as a paper which
"says what it thinks" and the reason
for this is that the reputation is well
earned.
Whenever anything of public
nature comes up the Democrat is
for or against it. We have never
never sought anyone's advise as to
the stand to be taken. We are rust
ling the money to pay the bills for
this sheet and we feel that we should
have the privilege of debating it's
policy, and, whether or not we
should, we are going to do so,
We lost an advertiser last week,
"because the paper advocated things
to which the advertiser opposed"
To "get even" he pulled his ad. How
ever, the paper has been able to with
stand the loss, and is still running
at the same old stand.
Just what that dvertiser-and sew
eral others who have adopted like
policy-will gain remains to be seen.
The Democrat has the largest cir
culation of any daily paper circula-
ting in Liberal or Liberals territory,
and if these advertisers only knew
it they are hurting themselves a
blamed sight more than they are
hurting the paper.
And one of these days, they may
have some competition and when that
time comes, We'll see who gets the
worst of the deal.
The Democrat has no desire to
bluff or brighten anyone into pat
ronizing its columns. They are pretty
well patronized, and by lot of peo-
pie who do not give sanction to the
policy of the paper, for actual bene-
fits received, and such a puny effort
at squelching this paper by pulling
a little ad is humorous in the ex-
IRENE.
We welcome all the advertising
we can get, but when it comes to
laying down and allowing the adver-
tisers to dictate the policy of the
paper, we feel that it would be hurt
ing them as much as it would the
paper, for a paper without nerve
enough to take stand on a public
question is not worth much as an ad-
medium.
The business of the paper has in
creased four hundred per cent since
the present management took it over
and adopted an iron clad policy of
standing four-square, and we believe
that ninety-fve per cent of our ad-
vertisers approve of it, even though
they may occasionally have occasion
to take issue with us.
We came here to stay and we're
good Roadway at the job.
We are now starting our fifth year
in charge of the paper and that is
only half Of it if we keep our health.
