he learned he was to have ous sup

certainly pleased, especially with
our military organization, which we
offered him in case of trouble. He
then informed us that the city is
insufficiently protected and that
we are sitting on volcano regard
ing the negro question, that there
lis great deal Of unrest among
them and that we might have a
riot at any time and he was very
much worried. He told us that not
many months ago there was a riot
in the negro district, caused by
negro soldiers attacking a district
police station to release a negro
prisoner, but it never got into tho
papers-so it was news TO all Of us.
He welcomed us and the military
company is to be trained and two

Strike Won. Saws Lewis

Philadelphia, July 27-John l..
Lewis. president Of the miners
union, said here this afternoon
that he had every reason to be-
lieve that an interstate joint con-
ference OF the central competitive
fields will be arranged within a
few days"
Standing in the lobby OF the
Bellevue Stratford hotel, where
he has been comforting with dis
trict presidents of the union from
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
Mr.. Lewis dictated the following
statement to newspaper men:
ut is undoubtedly true that to
all purposes and effect the mine
workers have won their present
strike and it is almost universal
Iy recognized in industrial and
financial circles throughout the
country that no wage reductions
can be applied to mining indus
try.
Conference Necessary
''It only remains for an inter
state joint conference to be con-
vened In order to permit of the
immediate negotiations of new
wage agreement. This is the only
way by which settlement can be
made. There will be no district or
Iseparate settlements.
II have every reason to believe
that an interstate joint confer
ence Of the central competitive
fields will be arranged within a
few days. Such an arrangement
will permit a resumption Of min
ing, relief to embarrassed indus
tries and a suffering public"

Lectured For Speeding.

The court room of Mayor Gisclard
was crowded to overfowing last Mon
day afternoon when seven young men
were brought before him, charged
with violating the speed law. The
young man who drove the car was
first arranged by the Mayor and he
pleaded guilty. Mayor Gisclard there
upon gave the young man, and Incl
IDENTIFY over his shoulder, lecture on
reckless and speed driving. He told
the boys that the officers did not like
to hale them into court that it was
not a pleasant job for either the Off
GERS or himself, but that the lives and
safety of children, women and men
on the streets of the city must be
protected He said that the conduct
of the young men on Sunday night
was such that if they had been older
he would have imposed a severer fine,
but as they were only boys he would
be lenient in this case and with an
injunction not to appear before him
again on a like charge or he would be
compelled to give them the limit, the
driver of the car was fined SIS or 5
days in Jail by the court. The fine
was Immediately paid.

PUBLIC INVITED
TO ATTEND RADIO
ENTERTAINMENTS
Local Station Has Splendid Instru-
nent Installed With Inn
mense Radius.

Citizens of Donaldsonville have at
their disposal for pleasure and in
struction splendid radio station,
Entertainment is furnished every
week day and night and magnificent
orchestras, grand vocal concerts, elo-
quent addresses and lectures deliver
ed by the most learned minds of the
country can be heard for the going.
The station is located in the high
school and is under the management
of Superintendent Broussard of the
parish school board. A cordial invi-
tation is extended to every citizen
to come and "sit in' at the nightly
entertainments.
Last summer the idea of installing
radio station in Donaldsonville was
conceived by two or three of the
progressive citizens of the city. Act
ing on the impulse the idea was con-
,ummated, Messrs Broussard, Walter
Lemann and 3. C. Alwes, principal of
the high school, were the moving
spirits, and through their efforts the
radio instrument was procured and
Installed. The machine is a most
owcrful one, built by Pullen Brothers
of Houma, La, and has a reaching
radius, 50 far proven, as far west as
Denver, Colorado, east to Atlanta,
Georgia, north to Detroit, Michigan
and south to Havana, Cuba. Send
ing stations as far as these point have
been heard plainly from the new
Magnavox of the local machine.
Although the station was opened
during the summer, it has not been
in active use until at present. One
reason, according to Superintendent
Broussard was, that during the sum-
mcr because of atmospheric effects
Estates interrupt the clear tone of
air elements causes an interruption.
"The cooler the weather the better
the radio works. declared Superin-
tendent Broussard. Temperatures
below 70 degrees are best, in fact
the colder the BETTER" he said. eve
are thus insured to have good results
from now on, and with the addition
of the new Magnovox (horn) the
instrument installed here can be
heard in the largest auditorium and
even several hundred yards in the
open if placed in the proper place."
1t is intended by the projectors of
the enterprise to give special nights
when some celebrated program is an
nounced from any of the metropolitan
cities, and it is hoped that the public
generally will take advantage of these
programs and attend the entertain
ments Of course the station will be
open every night during the week
and any person can drop in and lis
ten, but special programs will be ar
generally and night for the public
genarally will be set when the in
strument will be placed in room
ample large to accommodate a large
crowd.
The principal sending stations
within the radius of the Donaldson
vile station are: St. Louis, Kansas
City, Davenport, Atlanta (Journal
and Constitution), Detroit, Denver,
Jefferson City, Mo-, Fort Worth,
Louisville, Pittsb,1rg, Cincinnati, Ha-
vana, Cuba and faias NV " Orleans (Tulane

many other minor stations within it's
radius.
