The reptile, which had a yellow
stripe on its back, and was of an un-
known species, crawled into the yard
and soon found itself in worse pre-
dicament than If 1t had crawled into
a hornets nest The 200 chickens
Immediately attacked the snake, TAX
ing turns in, pecking lis head so vio-
lently that in few moments It's eyes
were out and soon the entire head was
torn away Then the chickens took
turns in dragging the body of the rep
tile around the yard.

1t a meeting November Il, according
% the current issue of Labor, week.
" paper published by sixteen labor

Disagreement with President Com

Reports of Mr.. Tobin's resignation

The incident which led to Tobin's

its Mr.. Tobin as having declared.
what the unemployed want Is work,
not more talk. There has been too
much running to see Secretary f La
Dor Davis, too much kowtowing to an
administration that is unfriendly TO
labor. In my opinion the sooner labor
officials quit catering 70 the admins
tration, the better it will be for every
body
II am not In favor Of going into a
conference that may include in its
makeup persons from secession and
dual outlaw movements Nor am
in favor of going into conference

so-called public-spirited citizens, who
viii join in a declaration to make it
appear that organized labor is the
cause of unemployment and use it as
club to force down wages"
TObin's motion was defeated whore

! them. He charged the grand jury
that it is "your duty to investigate
the facts in connection with this mat
ter
"The city officials know the men or
some of them who took the prisoners
from their CELL" Judge Featherstone
told the jury. "There are others who
know the facts and you as grand jur-
ors have the power to summon and
force them to come before you and
testify. I will see to it that In your
investigation you have the full power
Of the law to support you. You will
decide when to make this investiga-
ton, and / am going to authorize you

regard as necessary. You will find
out the facts, the men who engaged in
this alleged unlawful enterprise and
then report these facts to the court,
together with the names Of the wit
nesses. The necessary indictment will

men on the street about two weeks

Before giving his formal nstruc-
tons to the grand jury Judge Feather

who loves his home and his country to
stand UP boldly for the enforcement
of law. All that we need for law en-
forcement is for every citizen to do
his duty. / have tried to do my duty /;
it is for you to do yours. May the
Almighty help us to acquit ourselves
like men"
