Small Unions Affiliated With

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-(U. Po
The federal government has not yet
made definite plans for combating
the strike. 1t will keep the railroads
operating, either by preventing a
strike, or by making preparations so
that the general public will suffer as
little as possible.
Postmaster Hayes is considering
calling for volunteer aviators to carry
mails, Attorney General Daugherty Is
studying the legal aspects of the sit
uation, while Senator Cummins, one
of the authors OF the h-Cummins
railroad law, is preparing a suggestion
to place the railroad labor board
powers under the interstate commerce
commission. At the Cleveland union
headquarters it was learned that the
union leaders characterized as mot
feasible" the suggestion by the puohc,
group of the labor board to reflect
the July first wage cuts In an imnc-
diate freight rate reduction and post
poning the other cuts indefinitely In

MOONSAINE STILLS
ARE BROUGHT IN
FROM THE HILLS
Activity Of Federal Prohibition Oifi'
GERS Causing MOonshlners To Load
Their Stills On Wagons and
Deliver Them.

Vanceburg, KY, Feb. 10. - 1t has
become a very common sight in this
town, the county seat Of the good old
state of Lewis" to see backwoods-
man driving through the streets with
moonshine still upon his spring
wagon. He Is a repentant moonshiner
on his way to the county court house
to surrender his still and himself to
County Attorney John p. Strother and
District Attorney John Coldiron.
The investigation which was begun
two weeks ago by the Lewis county
grand jury is resulting in the best
cleanup the county of Lewis has
ever known. Scores of indictments
have been returned for selling liquor
and several indictments have been re-
turned for moonshining.
Five surrendered stills are now in
the little stone Jail in the rear Of the
court house and Jailer Sullivan was
kept busy all day Thursday showing
the stills to inquisitive visitors.
Two of these stills were brought
to Vanceburg this morning by Emory,
Rube, Richard and Tom Rose, broth
ers and residents of the Briery neigh
borhood of this county After sur
rendering their stills to the county
authorities the men were taken before
the grand jury which Immediately in
dicted them.
This wholesale surrender of moon
shine stills and moonshiners has been
brought about by proposition recent
ly made by the officials in an effort to
clean up the county: All persons who
surrender their stills and themselves
are granted immunity. They are each
indicted and then they are released
with the indictment held over them
and they then take an oath to quit
moonshining.
Federal revenue officers are not
needed in the good old State Of Lewis
The local officials have fallen upon a
much quicker and much more satis-
factory manner of wiping out moon
shining. The word has gone out that
all who fail to take advantage Of this
opportunity to get immunity will be
most severely dealt with in case they
are later captured and brought before
the court. Because of this fact even
more stills are expected to be surren-
dered before the present grand jury
adjourns, in fact Sheriff Bertram was
informed over the telephone this af-
ternoon that another still would be
delivered at the court house on Fri
day morning by moonshiner.
Some of the surrendered stills are
quite crude but the two which were
delivered this morning by the Rose
brothers showed much skill in their
manufacture. Both stills are all cop
per, the "coil" is made of pipes some
five feet long and are connected
at the ends They were evidently
placed in trough. One of the stills
Is made of a milk can and another Is
made of metal gasoline barrel. AL!
of these stills will be destroyed by the
court in time.
Tom Pierce is the only man thus
fer brought before the court who has
refused to plead guilty and take i'm
munity. Pierce entered a plea of mot
guilty" stood trial, was convicted and
fined $3.50 and costs and sentenced to
ninety days in the county Jail.

Save The CHILDREN and
HELP KENTUCK;'S GROWTH
You Can Aid Some Needful Child and
Bring Them to Health and
Happiness.

Hasn't your heart achek when you
looked at the pictures OF the famine
children of Armenia and Syria and In
dia? Did It ever occur to you that we
have right here In our own state chill
dren, who apparently came from Ar
menia?
Several years ago, a sick, dirty. mis-
cradle little creature was found in one
of the counties Of our state. It's mother
was dead. its father was worse than
dead, for he was a brute in the form
of a man, and he had married another
brute. And the little miserable crea-
ture became more miserable each day,
until the neighbors finally said that
such a state of affairs must end, and
the child, little tot of five, mere
skeleton full Of sores, was committed
by the county Judge to the Children's
Home of Louisville. One of the good,
kind agents of the home carried the
little sufferer to this haven of rest,
where children are tenderly cared for
and where their little stomaches are
filled with good, nourishing food.
For weeks, the child had to be fed
certain amount of liquid food every
few hours, because his stomach could
not take more than a small quantity
at time. The dreadful sores were
dressed and bandaged, and after a
long time, IRA, for that was the boy s
name, began to look something like a
human. But his little life seemed
crushed out of him. He made no eff
fort to talk, or play, but simply sat
and watched the other children in
their games. By slow degrees, he be-
gan to enter into the pleasures of the
other boys, and after he had been at
the Children's Home over two years
kind-hearted lady came a short time
before Christmas and selected IRA,
as she had no child In her home and
was lonesome. She was required to
give references, and her home was in
vestigated Then, the day before
Christmas. the lady came and took
IRA away with her, he was to be q
surprise to her husband and was to be
his Christmas gift. So there, under
the beautiful tree with its ornaments
and lighted candles, sat this little
| child. 1t was indeed peace on earth
good will to men,"
Several years have passed, and this
same boy. now developed into a
strong, study lad, has been adopted by
his good foster parents, who are Cath
olics, they have prospered and have
accumulated quite good deal of this
worlds goods, to which this boy once
an outcast, is heir. He showed great
desire to study for the ministry and
has entered upon his studies for that
calling. Deep down in his boyish
heart, no doubt he has thought the
whole thing out-of how on Christ's
birthday he was chosen for his home
Of love and happiness and in his graf
itude to his Heavenly Father he has
dedicated his life to His service and
the service Of others. Can we do any
less? Then let us serve by making 1t
possible for other children to have the
same splendid care which they receive
at the Kentucky Children's Home So
coiety, of Louisville.
