Failure.

The radical demonstration of min
ers in West Virginia will end just as
every other attempt Of the irrespons-
ible element to carry its point by force
or coercion has ended. The great ma
jority of law-abiding American citi-
zens are not to be browbea:en by a
minority of few thousand. The pol
icy Of few West Virginians of shoot
ing down those who tried to stop them
is no different in principle from the
attempt of other organizations to car
ry their point by starving and freez-
ing the population through stoppage
of transportation or otherwise. One
situation is as uncomfortable as the
other, and will be just as strongly and
successfully resisted.

SMUT CAN BE PREVENTED

Crop-It's Cheap
Insurance.

There is no insurance which IS cheap
er and really easier to buy and apply
than protection against loss from
smutty wheat To treat the wheat all
that is necessary is to first fam ;he
wheat to remove light and smutty
kernels or, in case there is no tanning
mill available, the wheat can be slow
ly thrown into water. The heavy ker-
nels will sink and the light ones can
be skinned off the surface of the wa

heavy kernels for seed and to treat
only the sound heavy seed.
This information is furnished by
Alvin Kezer of the Agricultural Col
lege at Fort Collins in response to
numerous inquiries which have been
received Lately from farmers of the
State
The easiest method of treatment is
to use formaldehyde. one pound of
formaldehyde to forty gallons of wa
ter. There are machines for treating
the seed, but perhaps on most farms
the easiest way is to put the seed in
a wagon box or on the floor or canvas
and sprinkle the same with the fresh
ly made formaldehyde solution. The
pile of grain should be sprinkled, then
turned with shovel, much as con-
crete is mixed, repeating the sprinkl-
ing and turning until the outside of
all of the grain is moist. The pile of
grain should then be covered up and
allowed TO stand for about two hours.
when it should be uncovered and the
air be permitted to circulate over 1t.
If the seed is left covered up too long.
the termination of the wheat itself
will be damaged.
Formaldehyde treatment will kill all
of the smut spores on the outside Of
the wheat kernels. But it is possible
to re-infest the seed if the drill is dirty
or if the sacks used to carry the grain
to the field are dirty from smut. The
precaution should, therefore, be taken
to either treat the sacks and the drill
or to wash them out thoroly. The
easiest way is to use some of the
formaldehyde solution and spray the
inside of the drill and dip the sacks
that are to be used, so that smut will
not be put back onto the grain seed.
1t will only cost about so to rs cents
an acre to carry out the complete pro
cess of treating to prevent smut where
all labor is charged. This is very cheap
insurance, because it may mean the
difference between no crop at all and
a practically perfect crop. All seed
wheat should be treated.
Formaldehyde can be purchased in

The fire was in the basement of the
United States Paste Company's build
ing on the West Side. Most of the
adhesive was in open bins in the base
ment, a powdery, starchy substance
that gave no hint of possibilities when
the fire fighters arrived to extinguish
the blaze that had started in rubbish
pile. Fireman William Murphy gave a
thrilling account Of the troubles en-
countered.
"a peculiar set Of circumstances
saved the plant" Murphy said. "The
flames became stuck in a vat Of liber-
ated glue, holding the fire in one place
so that it was unable to spread. When
we turned our streams on these paste
bins, the whole place was running with
paste. We didn't know what it was
until our feet began to get heavy and
then we thought we were just tired.
But when we got stuck fast to the
floor, we knew there was something
wrong. Our escape from death was
miraculous, the fire finally creating so
much steam that the paste was loos-
ened and we were freed.
"The glue that felt on the flames
stiffened them. / hear that q lot OF
scientists are coming over tomorrow
to see the stiffened flames"

.Iohn Donlisi, Head of Build.
ing Trade Department.
Tells Central Council 1t
Has No Legal Authority
Hints at Political Move
Thinks Form of the Labor
Czar's Organization Is
One That Might Succeed

In reply to recent resolution of the
Central Trades snd Labor Council call
ing for en- investigation of the Build
Sng Trades Council, formerly headed
hy the labor czar,, Robert 2. Brindell,
now in Sing Sing prison for extortion.
John Donlin, president of the building
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor, told the Central
Trades body yesterday to keep hands
OF.
DOnlin's attitude has caused a great
stir in labor circles here, as it was
thought that in view of the Lockwood
committees exposures in connection
with the operations of Brindell's coun-
ell and the public clamor for house,
cleaning, the A. F. Of I. authorities
would at last favor such a move.
Samuel Untermyer, chief counsel to the
Lockwood committee, has said that the
sOecalled reforms within the organiga
ton were mere shams and that the
council, still dominated by lieutenants
Of Brindell, retained many of the OBJ
noxiOus features through which it was
revealed by the committee, hold-ups of
building contractors were made pos
sible. Patrick Crowley. the new presi-
dent OF the council, says the organiza
ton would welcome an investigation bv
any reliable group of citizens.
Denlin's Attitude
" he 60 -
opposes the investigation on the ground
that the local General Trades body has
not the authority to conduct an in
Quiry. He fails to intimate. however
that such step would be desirable
on the contrary, in a letter to viii
nam +. kehoe, secretary of the Gem
tral Trades and Labor Council he
claims that ''the form of the Rnild;no
Trades Council is one that might suc7
eeed and that the move was char
aeterIstic Of New York and the eIe-
memts that seek the investigation"
Inere were some among the local
labor men who said that DonHn's ST.
utude should not have caused anv
great surprise, in view of the fact that
tne american Federation of Labor
neaas nave been severely criticized in
the past Tor their failure to take any
Building Trades Council and for +bair
general attitude of unconcern toward
the sensational revelations of extortion
and grating brought out in the course
Of the Lockwood committees probe.
Crowley, in making public Donlin's
letter to Kehoe, said: Personally, l
and all OF the members of the Build
ing Trades Council, as it is at present
organized and constituted, would court
any investigation by any reliable group
OF citizens" Referring to the reso-
luton calling for the inquiry, he said:
"The gentlemen of oA.c association who
introduced the resolution are trying
TO create sentiment among the mem
bers of their local unions against the
council at this time in order to promote
their electioneering purposes before an
election, which is to take place in June

we have been delaying doing must be

Of thing"
II Is the general belief here that
this accident may be imm mediately re-
sponsible in bringing to o head the
long discussed proposals for depart
ment of aeronautics or some other
agency under which the various
branches of the air service will be
combined.
Such a plan is strongly advocated
by General Mitchell. He has maintained
before committees of Congress and
elsewhere that such action is the only
way i'll which the United States will
be able to keep pace with other nations
in the development of this branch Of
the national defense. England has
been taking long strides under the
operation of it's air ministry and
Japan has undertaken program that
will put her in the fore among the
powers controlling the air within the
next five years, III the belief If army
experts.
Hhe plan most favored would create
a now department of the government,
identical in status to those now under
the members of the Presidents Cabi-
net. Under the Secretary of Aeronaut-
les there Iould be three principal
divisions-a supply department, a de-
partment for contl ol of both the army
and navy forces, and department Of
civil aeronautics.

Army Probers
Seek Cause of

tcostinrsd from pace sns,

| well known as pioneers in aeronautcal
development. The consensus of opin-
ion expressed by aviation experts was
that the lack of landing fields was the
cause of the accident,
1t was pointed out by one pilot who
has flown over the territory between
Langley Field and Washington, an air
distance of lS0 miles, that there is not
a single emergency landing field avail
able, despite the fact that it is one of
the most important airways in the
country and the one most extensively
travelled. The land on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, he said, is marshy
and unsuited for landing purposes un-
der any conditions. Even on the Mary
land side of the hiver there is no good
ground suitable for landing, but It is
better than the Virginia side, and this
probably was the reason Lieutenant
Ames did not attempt to 20 back to
Langley Field when he encountered the
sudden storm.
Richard H, Depew jr, one of the
leading Curtiss pilots at Garden City,
yesterday declared unfounded the
criticism that the Eagle was not prop
eriy balanced. He described the
technical details Of the machine. and
then pointed out its remarkable record
of safe and efficient flying since it was
first designed. 1t is the same plane
which Lieutenant Ross Kirkpatrick
flew for more than eighteen hours with
greater load while attempting to
break the worlds endurance record.
"The pilot is the best man to know
whether his plane is evenly balanced"
said Mr.. Depew. "My opinion is that
when the pilot OF the Eagle attempted
to make landing his plane was struck
by a sudden gust Of wind of gale force
and put into side-slip while he was
too close TO the ground of recover"
&. f. Redden, president of the Aero
marine Always, said;
The tragic accident at Indian Head
on Sunday which resulted in seven
deaths apparently was not caused by
the storm but by the lack of landing
fields. If there had been a suitable
landing place available, Lieutenant
The accident has been the cause of
great grief to all of us in aviation, be-
cause three of the men killed were
known to every one interested in avia-
tlon and were my personal friends.
Navy Aircraft Upheld
Sad as it was, however, the chances
are that it would not have happened
had they been flying navy boat, be-
cause during every moment of the
fight from Langley Field to Washing
ton there would have been a safe land
ing field available on" the Potomac
River.
There is no doubt about the Eagle
being able to weather the storm in the
air The disaster occurred when the
pilot sought to make landing where
an unobstructed landing place did not
exist. The unfortunate accident will
not retard aviation but will emphasize
upon the country the need of equpping
landing places

ter Is Characteristic of New York and
OF the element that seeks the nvestiga-

The form of the Building Trades
Council, in nay opinion, is one that
might succeed, where one of the hi-au-
nual elections would be sure to fail.
Nothing is so injurious to our move
ment as the element of politics, and
the longer the period between elections

AS a ground for the investigation,
Zaussner declared that the Building
Trades Council was inimjcal to the
interests of organized labor, that it
was undemocratic, and emphasized the
manner in which it, chose its delegates
for period of three years instead of
six months.
Peter Stadtmuller, who is in the
Tombs awaiting sentence for extortion
in completely with Brindell, declares
that Brindeil had certain American
Federation of Labor officials under his
control. He added that at the present
time the majority of the members of
the council were sick of Brindellism,
and that the members were fearful of
the wrath of a group in the council
known as the entertainment com
mittee," which is composed of strong
arm men loyal to Brindell.
