GUN MANS VICTIM
To Be Given Chance to Re-
cover Through Union
Aid

New York-In the current issue of
Textile Worker, President Mcmahon,
of the United Textile Workers of
America, depicts this thrilling incl
dent at the recent convention of the
textile workers:
Towards the latter moments of the
convention, Organizer Thomas pre-
sented two of our members who were
shot down by gun men at the Jenckes
Spinning Company plant on the
morning of February 81, 1922, in the
presence of the mayor of the city of
Pawtucket
"One, with four fingers shot COM
pletely away on his right hand, and
the other with his right side paralyz-
ed for life, along with 10 or IL young
girls who were shot and wounded in
various parts of the body.
"The convention was overwhelmed,
and the magnificent donation by the
delegates, many of whom were strik-
ers, showed their keen sympathy. But
this was not all. The delegates from
the Full Fashioned Hosiery Knitters
L. U. 706 quickly got together and
selected a spokesman who requested
the approximate cost of the operation
that would be necessary to give the
young man who was paralyzed g
fighting chance to be again restored
to full physical manhood.
He was told that it would be ap-
proximately $1,000, and quickly the
answer shot back: Send him to the
place selected for operation and for
ward your bill of $1,000 to local unior
706, Philadelphia"

SOME FAIR

The whole state has to hand it to
Old Butler when it comes to running
county fair. The one she staged
last week was a peach" The con-
cessionnaires and old-time fair fol-
lowers all agreed that Buffers fair
had any county fair in the state dur
ing 1922 backed way off the boards
in every way. They said that it was
the finest, the biggest, the cleanest
fair of any, and that Butler county
had the most beautiful fairgrounds to
be seen anywhere. And every one
agrees with them-it was a great
big show. The racing was fine, the
exhibits were the best ever, the at
fractions were good. And above all
the big show was clean. Of course
here and there a little grating was
done. such as in the fortune telling
and palm-reading tents where a few
suckers" (people who looked like
they ought to really know better)
were stuck up for a few dollars and
| then squealed like a baby having a
stick of candy taken from it. But
| then it wouldn't be fair without
these things. Then there was couple
of shows that tried to get naughty
but they were quickly banished.
But-what would the fair amount
to without these fakes? 1t wouldn't
be real county fair without them
would it? If they didn't show up OF
| their own accord the board would have
to provide them to give the fair the
appearance of the real thing because
they are looked for and expected by
| the public. There was just enough
of this kind of stuff on the grounds
this year to give the affair the right
tinge-not too much and not toe
little
All in all, it was great big show
one that the county feels proud of
and one that reflects credit on the
ability and efficiency of those il
charge-the FAIR BOARD. The
Press extends its congratulations tc
| the members of the board

WOMEN'S WAGES
Again Before California In
dustriai Commission

San Francisco.-The industrial well
fare commission is again considering
a minimum wage for working women
and minors. Several months ago the
commission voted to reduce the wages
of working women from SIG a week
to SIS. Mrs. Kate P. Edison, the one
woman ont the commission, voted with
the majority. If she voted with the
labor member the proposal would be
defeated
Organized labor was especially en-
ragged at Mrs. Edson's vote because
she has been drawing from the state
treasury on an average 500 a week
for many months Previous to her
vote she had been in the habit or at
tending annual conventions of the
State Federation of Labor and making
"uplift" talks.
The wage-reduction vote of the
commission was successfully blocked
by the State Federation of Labor and
the San Francisco Labor Council,
whose attorneys convinced the court
that the commissions action was ille-
gal because sufficient notice had not
been given of the hearings. This
decision forced the commission to
start all over again, and the incident
has shown to the working women of
California the relative merits of
wages by law and wages through
trade union effort.
The organized working women of
the state are now asking if their po-
sition is justified.

DEATHS IN COAL MINES

Washington During the first eight
months of this year, reports to the
federal bureau of mines show that
accidents at coal mines killed 1,025
men, 159 at anthracite mines and 500
at bituminous mines. In the CORES
ponding period last year there were
1918 fatalities, of which 953 at BIZ
luminous mines.
Falls of roof and coal were respon-
sible for fatality rate in 1922
slightly below the eight-months' rate
last year. Accidents due to explos-
ives have been reduced nearly so per
cent. The fatality rate from haul
age accidents has increased about 7
per cent, while the gas and dust ex-
plosions are about double the num-
Der for the first eight months last
year

CHURCH men
Talk Like Real Trade Union
lists

Portland, Ore.-"The report of the
social service commission of the Puget
sound conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, adopted at Vancou-
yer, Wash, last Saturday, reads like
the proceedings of labor conven-
tion," says the Oregon Labor Press.
"The report, as adopted, demands
the repeal of the criminal syndicalism
law, favors the release of all political
prisoners, pledges to champion the
cause of free speech and free assem-
blage, and declares that the first
charge on industry should be a living
wage.
"The report placed the church on
record as opposing legal sophistries
and injunctions, which, through the
employment of technical interpreta-
tions and injunctions, take from la
borers the rights guaranteed them
under the constitution of the United
States.'"
In recording their opposition to the
syndicalism law, the church men re-
affirmed this magnificent free speech
declarations:
CAS- Christian citizens we hold that
all of our churches should proclaim
the American principles enunciated by
Thomas Jefferson when he said: If
there be among us any who wish to
dissolve this union, or to change the
republican form, let them stand un-
disturbed as monuments of the safety
with which errors of opinion may be
tolerated where reason is left free to
combat it.

TO APPEAL INJUNCTION

Washington. - Attorneys for the
railroad shop men were in this city
the past week holding conferences
with trade unionists for the purpose
of arranging to appeal the administra-
tion's injunction to the United States

The administration has taken the

the railroads, although congress has
repeatedly declared in it's department
of justice appropriations that that
money shall not be used to prosecute
trade unionists.

mo element" says the governor,
"can with safety be permitted to have

interest"
The governor would pull down the
house! He would put the whole
Wall street banking combine out of
business in a trice! Surely we know
of no other institution of surprising
power used more definitely for selfish
interest.
If the governors words were trans
lated literally into action there would
not be left shred of our present in
dustrial order; and our financial order
would go with equal dispatch.
The governor of New York has US
ed an argument common among labor
haters, but it is the argument which
they should be the last to use. Their
statement does not describe the organ
izations of business and banking.
1t is but a matter of justice to say

WINS SUIT
AGAINST [. M. KUHN

A verdict for the plaintiff for
the sum OF $4,000 was returned
in Circuit Court at a late hour
yesterday afternoon In tho auto.
mobile damage suit brought by
French E. Barnes, OF this city
against Lloyd NJ. Kuhn OF Mon.

to arrive at a verdict.
The suit was brought for dam
ages 10 a Dodge automobile which
was struck by Ford truck driven
by a delivery boy employed in
connection with Kuhn's grocery
store at Monopgah.
The defense set up that at the
time OF the accident the driver OF
the truck was not acting within
the scope OF his authority but
had gone on "frolic Of his own"
to Worthlngton. The plaintiff In.
troduced evidence TO show that
the boy was authorized to deliver
groceries to the home Of John
Nichols and that the accident oc-
Cured on the return trip between

home.
The court instructed the Jury.
upon request Of the plaintiff, that
