we have important business to trans
act. AT the meeting to-day, the old
board of directors were nominated to
hold over for another year. The last
years growth has been big showing
as to what cooperation can do and we
shall keep the ball rolling to greater
achievements for the next year. Say,
comrades, you who own stock in this
colony, did you ever think and realize
what has been done by the little band
of people who have stuck here and
worked and actually saved this insti-
tuition from bankruptcy? They have
made your investment safe. Yes, that
is true, but that is not all: they are
proving your theories and bringing
about the consummation of your ideals
and more yet - we have learned 10
cooperate, you bet we have! At this
last election, the old band of workers
were almost unanimously united. They
were not playing politics, but stood I'M
tied in their belief that we are on the
right track to cooperative achieve
ment, never before attained by any
community. And all this was done
because we are learning to abolish sus-
picion, greed, and jealousy and to
have real faith in our abilities to do
the big job. We can do it and we are
succeeding. If you are interested in
setting an example to the world as to
what kind of life the workers can
have through cooperation, just join
US and help to demonstrate it. We
want money right now to build with,
we are (most Of us) living in the old
3awmill shacks that the mill company
left here. Now, don't hate mine a

HISTORY OF THE
PROPOSED STRIKE
Events Which Led Up to the
Orders for a General
Strike by Six Unions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The decision OF
the United States labor board on July
l, authorizing the railroads to reduce
wages. OF their employees an average OF
1912 per cent. was the event in tie
series which led UP to the orders for
a general strike by six unions.
So soon as this decision was rem
dered, a majority Of the rail unions
voted overwhelmingly in favor Of a
strike rather than accept a wage cut
although on some lines, notably the
Pennsylvania, there were divisions
where groups Of workers voted not to
strike.
The taking OF the ballot itself, how
ever, developed some signs OF friction
among the unions. w G. Lee, presi-
dent Of the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen, sent out a separate ballot
to his men when the other unions in
cluded IN their ballots such questions
as rules and working conditions. Mr..
Lee held that IL was Illegal to vote on
anything but the already authorized
wage cut.
Leaders Of the Big Four brother
hoods-trainmen, conductors. engineers
and fremen-met in Chicago to decide
what action should be taken. on Oct.
Is it was announced formally that a
wRlkout, beginning oct. 80 and extend

FIGHT TO GUST HIM
Representative Monden Would
Have the Texas Congress
man Expelled From House.
HAD CAUSED OBSCENE
MATTER TO BE MAILED
BlantOn Declared the PubIica-
tion Had Been Sent Out
in a Just Cause.
~. &c Assoclatea -,

WASHINGTON, oct. 27.-Saved
from being thrown out OF the house of
representatives by bare margin Of
eight votes, Thomas l. Blanton, a
+ Texas democrat, was publicly repri-
mandod late today by Speaker Gillett,
in accordance with a resolution Of
censure, against which no man cast a
single vote.
Then, a moment later as he walked
out Of the chamber with all eyes upon
him, he toppled over in a heap. Some
Of his colleagues, who had voted to
expel him, picked him up and placed
him on a lounge. But he did not stay
there long. Rousing himself. he Stun
bled out, the tears streaming down his
cheeks, and as he went away he was
heard to express the hope that ne
might never see the house again.
There was no doubt OF the fact, as
members expressed it that the Texan
was utterly crushed and worn By his
experience Of the day. an experience
that seldom comes during the life of
a man in congress. F'or ar hour and
ten minutes. with hostile eyes upon
MIN, he fought to defend himself from
the charge that he transgressed the
law By putting into the Congressional
Record a document described as .un-
spAakably vile"
Before he got up to speak ia his own
behalf, IL was the view OF republicans
and democrats alike that action upon
the resolution to expel him would de-
pend upon his own attitude. He sat
with holded hands as Representative
Mondell Of wyoming. the republican
leader, pleaded earnestly to have him
cast out. And then. pale and smiling,
he stepped brislly 70 the front az the
leader sat down.
His voice was hoarse and broken.
He touched rapidly upon the charges.
and then, his old time lighting ire re-
turned. Right at the beginning he said
he knew the house was prepared to

Refusing at arst TO yield for ques-
tions, he permitted Representative
Longworth, republican, Ohio, to ask

true that Mr.. Blanton had declared
an intention to mail $4,000 copies OF
she undelivered speech with its Offend

Only a lack OF money. he said, pre-
vented its mailing TO every voting man
