UNION OFFICIAL
DENOUNCES STONE

Fort Worth. Tex. November 1s.-
Scathing reference to the manifold
activities OF Warren S. Stone, was
contained in .. statement issued here
today by W. G. Lee. president of the
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen.
Mr.. Lee said, as president of the
engineers brotherhood, Stone had
sent out circulars advising mem
bers of his organisation to become
organizers of the Switchmen's union,
rival OF the trainmen.'
Il am not surprised at anything
Mr.. Stone might do, since he has be-
come quite an organizer lately, and
seems to believe labor methods of
today are wrong" Lee declared.
Mr.. Stone is president of the
Plumb Elan league. slated to take
over and operate the railroads, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood Cooperative
Bank, calculated to put Wall Street
out of business; president of West
Virginia coal mine. likely intended
to put the coal barons of this coun-
try out OF business. and the promoter
Of many other branches of COM
mercialism.
1T is reported, he favored forcing
members OF the F'iremen's brother
hood into the organization he re-
presents. He made application for
membership in the American Fedora
tion of Labor. some few years ago,
but was refused, and it is not
strange hat he has now adopted the
switchmer's union organization and
become, it's spokesman.
Il Will say, however. that the
trainmen will continue to handle
their own affairs in their usual man
ner. making good the agreement
made with their employers at all
times, regardless of any threat made
by Mr.. Stone. to put them out of
business. il they do not follow some
of the theories of others

WASHINGTON BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD

Washington, ID. O., Nov. II
Ihe government will establish a
cooperative boil weevil expe rimen-
tai station at Florence, S. c., which
1t is contemplated will deal speci-
fically with conditions in the south
atlantic and Gulf states as the sta
ton at Tallclah, La, deals with con-
d1tions in Louisiana and Texas.
announcement to this effect was
made this afternoon following a
conference between w. M. Riggs.
president of Clemson college, and the
Secretary of Agriculture, and L. o.
Howard, chief of the bureau of ento-
mology. and E. D.. Ball, director of
agricultural research, department of
agriculture.
The new station will be organized
by the transference of experts and
equipment from the Tallulah station.
1t will have access to the labora-
tories of Clemson college, and will
be in conjunction with the Pee Dee
station of that college located at
Florence.
Control Planned
DR.. Riggs, for this bureau, stated
tonight that the plans of the de-
partnnent constituted big" news for
the entire south inasmuch as it is
recognized that the weevil imposes
financial loss to the cotton pro-
Queer of approximately half billion
dollars per annum. He explained
that all theories relating to boil
weevil extinction and all methods in
vogue, including those partly succe SIS
full, and those which have not been
thoroughly tried, would be elabo-
rated and subjected to the most try
ing tests.
DR.. RIGGS declared that govern
ment experts are keenly alive to the
menace to the south represented by
the boil weevil, and are hopeful that
as result of extensive experiment
ton, both in Tallulah and Florence,
a perfect boil weevil remedy will be
evolved
