Another False Report

Somebody heard the police alarm
sound last night, and this morning
the report went out that a restaur-
ant had been burglarized of $500,
which report was untrue, as there
wasn't even an attempt of a burg
larry. False reports circulate very
easily of late in the fertile brains
of a few here, who ought to wake
up and forget their Authorizations for
a while.

BURKA JAILED FOR
BAD CHECKS AGAIN

Sol Burka arrived in the city
this afternoon and announced his
intention of again assuming the
management of the Blue Ridge
Thester. Shortly after his arrival,
he was arrested by Constable Ed
ward Hawkins on a charge of lssu-
ing q bad check The warrant for
his arrest was issued by Justice j.
t. Blocher.
The check this time causing the
trouble was given to Harry Knapp
last April. The check was for $12
and was signed by Burka as secre-
tary of the Blue Ridge Amusement
Co.
Several days ago the police de-
partment received a telegram from
the police authorities at Columbus,
Ohio, asking that sBurkas be arrest
ed and held on a bad check charge.
Since that time the city authori-
ties have been unable to locate
him. While a large number Of
Burka's bad checks have.-been paid
off and thereby settled, it is said
that there are several others yet
outstanding.
The law provides that payment
OF the check will not excuse the
maker after twenty days from the
time it has matured and has been
protested

LABOR CONCLAVE
REFUSES TO PAY
HOWAT TRIBUTE
Resolution to Praise Howat
for Stand Against Court
Meets Defeat.

CINCINNATI, June 20 By
the Associated Press) an
overwhelming vote the American
Federation of Labor convention
today refused to consider a reso-
luton proposing that it congra-
late Alexander Howat, leader of
the Kansas miners for his stand
against the Kansas Industrial
Court. The resolution was re-
ferred to the United Mine Work
ers of America on the recon-
nation of the resolutions commit
tee which regarded the subject as
one dealing with internal affairs
of the miners union.
During the debate, the lie was
passed between President John L.
Lewis, of the miners union, who
expelled Howatt from the miners
organization, and Joseph Lynal, a
delegate from the Peoria Trades
duced the resolution.
When Lyna1 sought to discuss
the resolution Lewis made a point
of order that the merits of the
resolution were not before the
convention. and was sustained by
President Gompers. who was pre-
siding.
SIS the American Federation of
Labor going to double-cross How
att and Dorchey, the same as John
L. Lewis has done?' asked Lynal,
who then added that Howatt was
a delegate to the convention but
was not present because "he is in
jail where he was sent by Lewis. :"
Mr.. Lewis then pressed his
point of order, and while Mr..
Gompers was repeating his rul-
ing, Lynal interrupted to reiterate
his assertion that Howatt had
been sent to Jail by Lewis.
1.-THE gentleman is a liar said
Lewis.
80 are you. Jack rejoined
Lynal -
Mr.. Lewis then said:
II have the right to defend my
charac cter on the floor Of this CON
of remacksSof this sgentl tleE1an-- ''s,554s
sEyna1 replied. That's right,
Jack, am a gentleman"
"Howat is in JAIL continued
Lynal, mot because the capitalist
put him there. but because men in
our organization put him there. If
you don't pass this resolution you
are just as bad as Lewis. Be fair
enough to let me tell you what,
know about this"

ASSOCIATION OF
DA|RYMEN WILL
DEMAND QUALITY
Now Considering Means TO
Require Members to Com
ply With Law.

That the Home Dairyme ems As
sociation is considering means to
acquire all its members to comply
with the city milk ordinance was
the statement today of r. e.
Nixon, president of the associa-
ton.
Mr.. Nixon stated that the asso-
citation believes in the milk ordin-
ance and will support in every way
possible.
"Of course" said Mr.. Nixon,
"the bacteria test is much lower
here than it is in many other
cities, SO it isn't exactly a fair test
of the dairyman every time. This
is especially true in summer time,
when bacteria multiply more rap
idly. Unless the milk is kept con-
tinually at very low temperature
it is hard to comply with the 2oU.-
900 figure required in the ordln-
ance.
Believes Tests Too High
81 do believe though. that some
of the tests showed an unreason-
ably large number of bacteria
Some Of the dairymen belonging
to the association had tests too
high in tact. we nave peen uiS
cussing means to require all our
members to comply with the ordin-
ance. You may be sure that mem
bership in the association is go
ing to be a. guarantee of good
quality of milk
That is the purpose of our o.
ganization. We want to give the
people of Fairmont better service.
That means that we intend to
furnish only the best grade of milk
all the time.
These matters were all discuss
ed at the last meeting of the as
sociation about week ago. We
also discussed the matter of bring
ing action against The West Vir-
ginian for the story published say
ing that all milk supplied in the
city was unsafe.
We consulted attorneys on this
matter who informed us that we
had ground for suit against The
