MONROE. La, July 1s.-Four negroes
| We're killed and Monroe Ferguson, busi-

forty minute battle near Rayville, La,
resulting from an attempt OF deputy
sheriffs to arrest two negro women
charged with beating number Of small
white boys they found in swimming.
The scene of the clash was the farm
OF William Gaines, three miles north Of
kayville. A desperate battle took place
being fired. The dead are Cleo Collins,
Charles Kelly, Scott Bellfield and Will

Friday group Of white lads found a
swimming hole and went to it. The
negro women are said to have re-
preached them for their lack Of cloth

have exhibited to their parents blue and
white marks about their necks where
they had been choked.
Sunday morning deputies were sent
by the Richland parish sheriff to arrest
the women. Some hours later they re-

met by threats of death if they prose-

FIVE MILLION BUSHELS
GRAIN FOR EAST RELIEF
Wheat and Corn Will Be Collected
in United States for Armenia
and Syria,

CHICAGO, July 1s.-Five million
bushels of wheat and corn for the
destitute people of Armenia and
Syria will be collected by the Near
East Relief, in cooperation with
various agricultural organizations.
according to announcement by Alonzo
p. Wilson, who has been designated
the national campaign director. with
headquarters in Chicago.
The actual collection of the pift
grain will be made during September
and October and the campaign will
be based on the experience gained in
connection with a similar campaign
last spring, when 100000 bushels of
grain were offered. but only 100000
bushels used, because of the limited
facilities for handling tho grain.
while in this country the farmers
have been hard hit by the high cost
of production Of their crops, and at
the same time have had to contend
with falling prices. they have been
blessed with an abundant surplus"
said Mr.. Wilson. "The farmers Of
Armenia and Syria, however, have
not for some time been permitted to
remain in any one community long
enough to plant and reap a crop Of
any description"
Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas
is chairman of the committee in
charge of the campaign. Associated
with him are the heads Of the coun-
try's larger agricultural organiza-
tions. Area headquarters will be es-
tablished in Cleveland, Baltimore and
New York, as well as in many west
ern grain centers.

NOW LET RAILROADS OBEY,

The railroad employees incurred CON
demnation because they attempted to defy
a ruling of the Railroad labor board,
thereby defying the government and the
American people whom the government
represents. They were quickly shown
the error of their way, and compelled by
pressure from the government and public
to call off the strike. With this immed-
late danger past, it is time to give serious
consideration to similar faults on the part
Of the employers.
The railroads, in spite -of their air of
superior virtue, have defed the authority
of the Labor board just as cynically as
the unions tried to do, and more success
fully The union leaders, in presenting
their case in the recent conference at
Chicago. named seven roads that had re-
peatedly violated the boards rulings. and
offered to submit another list of 33
roads that had produced wages in viola
ton of the Transportation act. Some
of the most recent offenses of this sort
are well known. All of them played a
part in the labor crisis, through the re-
sentiment and alarm they aroused among
the employees.
What is sauce for the men is sauce for
the roads. Now that the men have been
forced to obey the laws, the only fair
way and the only safe way is to make the
roads obey, too.

w. j. King as one of the selectmen of
Walpole is especially charged with keep
ing the peace in North Walpole The
i. r. company wants police protection
if it is to move logs from its log pile
there. This protection, Mr.. King asserts.
is unnecessary and will not be provided.
Some North Walpole people are pointing
an accusing finger across the river and
saying that the only place where peace
is disturbed at present is in Bellows Falls
and true it is that Bellows Falls cannot
crow much over North Walpole on this
Issue. Last summer bullets from North
Walpole side found their way among
officers and sidebreakers on the Vermont
side of the river and recently men
guilty of working have been Knocked
down on the streets of Bellows Falls
with clubs and fists. Not much for
either community to boast about, but the
pot can't call the kettle black legs.

Sir John Newell Jordan. who is sail
ing from England today as one of the
representatives of the foreign Office at
the coming arms parley in Washington,
is a veteran of the British diplomatic
service and a recognized authority on
Far Eastern questions. His intimate ac-
quaintance with the conditions and peo-
pies of the Far East is not surprising
in view of the fact that virtually the
whole of his diplomatic career, covering
a period of forty-five years. has been
spent in China and Korea. In 1876 he
entered the service as a student interpre-
ter in China. Thirty years later he had
attained the post of British minister in
Picking, having served in the meanwhile
as secretary of legation and charge daft
flares. His service in China was inter
rupted by fiye-year period spent as min
lister resident at the Court of Korea Sir

uate of Queens college, Belfast.

A New Custom House Suggested.
Bennington Banner.)

A new industry has developed in Ben
nington in this year of great scarcity of
apples in this section of the state. Just
over the mountain range to the east on
the uplands of Windham county there Is
an abundant crop of apples. largely on
farms not in the highest state of cultiva-
ton. These Windham county apples are
prime for cider making and at Whining
ton is cider mill where depression is
unknown. The new industry referred to
above is the importation of sweet cider
from Wilmington into Bennington. Most
of it is peddled out in small quantities so
that our valiant temperance advocates do
not need to worry. What The Banner
wants to suggest is that we place a Gus
tom house on top of Woodford mountain
and collect revenue sufficient to keep the
road in good condition.
