scribe for the same I would, there fore, recommend that during this 3zth Annual Convention a definite time should be set aside for the con s1deration of this matter and a dcin- it's conclusion reached relative to the future. In the past individuals have attempted to publish Labor papers and have found 1t extremely unprotlt- able and have had to rely upon prOhtS acCruing from commercial job print ing to finance the publication for the benefit of Organized Labor. This Is an unhealthy condition and should be remcdied by this Convention.
 In conclusion l desire to express my sincere appreciation to my asSOCl- ate members of the Executive COun- Cil for their splendid cooperation during the year just closed. It has been pleasure indeed to be assoCi- ated with them. It is my earnest desire that certain definite plans be formulated by this Convention to re- l1eve the present financial condition of the treasury and to further the po Federation of Labor along strictly Non-P Partisan lines.
 Respectfully submitted,

Labor Paper

I believe the majority of the dele gates to this Convention will agree tbat Organized Labor in Connecticut needs Labor Paper, but not a great many of them have agreed in the past to support the same by subscribing at an expense of 50 a year. Or Canizcd Labor cannot expect a fair deal from the daily press of our State since they are owned by interests en- tirely opposed to that of Organized Labor This Convention must de eide, in my opinion, whether or not it is essential to have an official or gan or not, and if the decision is fav
 orable, then Organized Labor must speak in more certain terms than by the mere passing of Resolution, but

VICTIM OF FEUD.
How and Why Sir Henry Wilson Was
Assassnated.


Assassinated.
The assassination of Sir Henry
Hughes Wilson, formerly chief of staff
Of the British army, as he stepped out
of his automobile in order to enter his
home in London last Thursday, is to be
put down as another bloody develop"
ment in the age-old quarrels that have
grown out of the Irish question.
Two gunmen, who afterward gave
their names as James O'Brien and
James Connolly, had placed themselves
in an advantageous position at the
generals home, and as he stepped out
of his car, they commenced firing. The
first two shots went wild. The general,
according to one story, hurried to his
front door with the latch key in his
hand. Other shots brought him down,
and as he fell he drew his sword; but
was already too weak to use it.
After getting the general, the assas-
sins proceeded to walk away. London
policemen are not allowed to carry
pistols; but are armed only with clubs.
A policeman, who had been attracted
by the five shots, appeared on the
scene, blowing his whistle. but as he
advanced toward the assassins with
his stick, they fired on him. The two
men proceeded along the street, fol-
Io,,oJ la, Tho ,,nlicornap 40 tbcv ~, IN =
cred and hundreds of people who join
ed in the crowds. At intervals Of forty
yards or such a matter, the asSassins
would turn on their pursuers and drive
them back with shots from their re-
volvers. One policeman was mortally
wounded and another was injured
slightly. A child was also struck by a
bullet.
After the procession had proceeded in
this manner for nearly half a mile, a
policeman rushed in and knocked one
of the men down with his club, while
police and bystanders overpowered the
other fellow before he could do seri-
Gus harm.
The assassins would tell nothing
about themselves except give their
names.
Sir Henry Wilson was a native OF
Ulster and of course an .Ulstcrite. He
gave distinguished service in the World
war and finally became head of the
British army, having been elevated to
that position largely through the
friendship of Lloyd George. Having
been placed in military command in
Ireland after the war, he was very act
i've against the Republicans and used
rcprcssive measures of the greatest Sc
verify. He was the hero Of the Ulster
ties and was bitterly hated by tho
South Irish people. He gave up his po-
sition in the army to represent Ulster
in the British parliament, where he
was known as the severcst critic of his
former friend, Lloyd George.
Gen. Owen ODuffy, chief Of staff o
tie Irish Republican army, has issued
statement in which he denies mos
cmphatically that the assassination o.
Gen. Wilson was the work Of that or.
ganization.

announced by the inspectors Is 57,001
as compared with 5O,276 in June, 1921.
The general condition of the mills is
reported to be good, the increase in
the employees indicating more work
and more products turned out This
increase of 6,934 employees over last
year was found despite the fact that
Is mills were closed when the inspec-
tions were made, it was announced.
The report also showed that condi-
tions now, as regards employees, are
better than in either 1919 or 1921. In
1919 the number of employees was
5O,S9S and in 1920 the number was
52,42S. White males employed in the
mills far outnumber all others with
33,S16 for 1922 as against 16,S43 white
females. The number of negro men
was 3,264 and the number Of negro
women was 635. The number Of white
boys between the ages OF IA and 16
years was 1,193 and the number OF
white girls between the ages Of IA and
16 was 1850. No negroes between
the ages of II and 16 were employed
in the mills, the report shows. An
increase in the mills of 4,796 males
over last year is noted in the report
and of 1,757 females as we'll as 371
negro men. These increases in the
number of employees, the inspectors
believe, point to much better condi-
tions in the cotton mill industry in
South Carolina.

idea of starting country store or
market in Yorkvilie. Miss Fewell said
Saturday that n number of men and
women of Yorkville have been coming
to Rock Hill lately to trade at the
country store" held in this town on
Wednesday and Saturday mornings of

lishment of such market in York
Vile would prove profitable to the farm
women around the county seat who
might have vegetables, chickens and
other produce to sell. According to
Miss Fewell, many of the members of
various farm demonstration and car
ming clubs around Yorkville are inter-
ested in starting such a market and 1t
may be attempted soon.

KILLED AT A STILL
Sheriff, Preacher and Moonshiner Die
i'm Oreqon.


Three bodies, torn by Sunshot
wounds, were brought to Albany, Ore
gon. last Thursday. They were those
Of Rev. Roy Hcaly, pastor of the First
Christian church, of Albany; Sheriff
c. NJ. Kendall, of Lynn county, and
Dave NJ. West, 70-ycar- old rancher
and trapper. Their deaths were the
result of q raid on Vests moonShine
still yesterday by Sheriff Kendall, ac-
companicd by the Rev. Mr.. Hcaly.
Tho sheriff and minister were shot
and killed instantly by the aged
ranchcr, who, after barricading him
self in his house and holding off n
posse FOR hours, crcpt from the build
ing when night came and in his barn
ended the episode by blowing off the
top of his head with his rifle.
The killing occurred at $3.50 o'clock
and until the body of West was
found in the barn, the bodies of his
two victims lay where they fell inside
the West yard, members of the posse
! fearing to enter the premises and re-
move them.
West threatened any one with
death who should attempt to ap-
| proach. except the coroner, who he
said, could remove the bodies of the
men he had killed. For fear, how
ever. that West might mistake the
coroner for would-be captor, no effort
was made.
West shot and killed both Ken
DALI and Healy without warning while
they were perhaps fifty yards from
him. He fired only twice.
Sheriff Kendall, armed with search
warrant left Albany yesterday for the
West ranch, accompanied by Rev. Mr.
Hcaly, who desired to see raid on 4
still TO obtain material for Il story
which he was intending to write
The minister went merely as Il spec.
tGtor.
After the shooting West returned
to the house and sat down in a Chai
with the rifle between his knees. \!
long as il remained daylight he bar,
ricadcd himself in the house, and de
, fed the posscmcn to capture him. hu
; when night fell, he bade his wife. wht
+ had remained with him, farewell, tell
ing her to go away where harm woult
not befall her.
/ "This is the last goodbye" he said
l aS he kissed her and showed he
: through the door of the house Short
ly afterward he reached the bar

Whose Damn Rascal?
All politicians are not good and all
are not bad. Some are as honest az
YOU and /, and some are mean, selfish,
slick and corrupt. The mere fact, how
ever, that the man is in politics, does
not mean that he will not do. The
truth is that our public officers include
the kindest, most accommodating and
most generous men we have, and II is
the rule rather than the exception. The
bitterest criticism we hear of public
officers comes usually from people who
have tried to get office and failed. 1t
does not make them all sour The
sourness is manifested mainly by those
who were defeated becauce they ought
to have been defeated
l am reminded of a good story that
the late John j. Hemphill used to tell
during the last years Of his political
career. 1t was at time when party
feeling was still running high. The
white people Of the state had divided;
but both still held on to the name of
Democrat and the only thing they
could agree upon politically was that
about the lowest and meanest thing in
life was'a Republican.
At that time the average voter in
this section was Of the belief that
Democrats did not even know the Re-
publicans in Washington personally. 1t
was a common belief that a Democrat
would not sit down to eat with Re-
publican, or ride with him on street
car. Under the circumstances Mr.
Hemphill's story might be said to have
educational value. 1t was like this:
1.-TWO representatives, John and Bill,
one Republican and the other DEM
ocrat, were great friends personally.
SO intimate were they that they were
almost inseparable.
"They had arranged to go to the
baseball game one afternoon at 4
o'clock, and when John, the Democrat,
got up to go, Bill, the Republican, lin
gered behind. After a brief wait John
grew impatient and began motioning
Bill to come on.
"Bill held back under Johns in
sistence until at last John could stand
it no longer.
"'Come on, Bill, what's the matter
with you? Wen be late
Yes replied Bill; but just wait
minute. rye got to hear what that
damn rascal has to say indicating a
member who was speaking from the
floor.
Still intent on the baseball, about
which he was anxious, John replied:
Eyes; but whose damn rascal is he
yours or mire?'"
