FAKE REDS COSTLY
TO U. s. INDUSTRY

CHICAGO, May 17.-Phantom radi-
Gals cost American industry hundreds
of millions of dollars in the last ten
years.
Frank P. Walsh, noted labor attor-
ney, SO declared at the reopening of
Ithe sensational Bailin deposition
hearing here. 4
FIFTY million dollars have been
paid out for the pursuit of radicals
who existed only in the minds of pri-
vate detective agencies during the
last decade" Mr.. Walsh asserted.
"The staggering toll paid by indus
try as the result of strikes, walkouts
and lockouts caused by unprincipled
detective operatives only can be sur
missed. 1t will run into hundreds of
millions"
Mr.. Walsh is attorney for alleged
communists captured in a raid at
Bridgeman, Mich, last year. He is
taking deposition from Albert j.
Bailin, formerly private detective and
self-confessed tool of detective agen-
cies, to be used at the trial.
Bailin in sworn testimony declared
that high officials of the Burns and
Thiel detective agencies hired him to
frame up bogus radical plots. He
charged that this fake evidence was
used to obtain money from bankers
and merchants.
Last year was very lucrative for
detective agencies connected with rad
ical Investigations" Mr.. Walsh said.
"The cost to industry was enormous"
Mr.. Walsh charged that stool pig
cons were sent out by the agencies
to preach anarchy to radical oreani-
cations and incite violence.

GOOD THING FOR
EAST SLOPE FARMERS

Who wouldn't gladly say farewell
forever to sire of uncertain ances-
try, without social standing in do
mestic animal circles, and receive
for him, without price, or boot or
bounty, blue-blooded aristocrat of
royal lineage?
That is the sort of trade proposed
on Wholesale plan along the route
of the Purebred Sire Special, to be
run over the Colorado lines of the
Burlington and Colorado & Southern
railways, by the agricultural depart
ments of these companies in Coop
Grafton with the extension service
of Colorado Agricultural College.
While the actual exchange on this
one-sided basis will not be made
until October, contracts are now be-
ing signed by breeders of registered
beef cattle and hogs who will furnish
the purebred animals and take scrubs
sight unseen as their full pay.
The object of the campaign is "to
stimulate the breeding of purebred
stock; to encourage the use of bet
ter sires and to improve the quality
of Colorado livestock" The purebred
animals are to be of Hereford and
shorthorn beef breeds, and Poland
China and Duroc Jersey hogs.
Lectures and demonstrations will be
given en- route to farmer audiences
in thirty towns, where halliday stops
will be made. The Agricultural Col
lege will have an exhibit car as part
of the train. Educational material
will be shown in furtherance Of the
better livestock idea There will be
a radio receiving station on the train
over which market reports will be
received from broadcasting sta
tion at Denver. Motion pictures also
will be shown. The films will be
supplied by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and will
deal mainly with livestock improve
ment.
The purebred animals will ride in
palace stock cars, so that they may
be viewed along the way. Scrubs
will be picked up wherever an ex-
change is scheduled and the train
will finish at Denver, where the mot
ley collection of scrubs will be sold
at the stockyards. The proceeds of
this sale will be divided pro rata
among the breeders who donated the
blooded animals, and this will be
their pay.
The tour will start October Is and
continue the balance of that month.
The itinerary will include practi-
cally all important towns along the
lines of the two railroads, the
full length of the east slope of the
Rockies and northeastward to the
Kansas and Nebraska lines.

PAMER pUTNAM's PHILOSOPHY

seen where them Mormon crick-
cts has crossed the state line agin
from Utah and is tryin' to eat up
what the farmers of Moffat county
has left on hand, which is very little
after hard winter. It's sure good
thing that the Moffat tunnel amt
done, because if it was them crickets
would be a-swarmin' through the big
hole and comm right straight fur the
East slope. Mormon crickets is al
most as smart as cockroaches, but
more prolific. reckon that's why
they calls 'em Mormon crickets.
seen in the Pest News Letter
which is published by the State En-
tomologist's Office (the bug depart
ment that the Utes used to eat the
Mormon crickets, and that the bal
ance of nature has been upset by
KILN off the Utes. Also, that it says
something about the gulls that come
fyin' in big fiocks from often Salt
Lake in the early days and saved the
crops of the pioneers in the Salt
Lake valley from bein' all ett up. l
suppose most of you folks know that
them Mormon pioneers built monu-
ment to the gulls to show their graft
itude, because it looked like the birds
was sent by Providence. Anyhow, it
was fine thing for all concerned,
including the gulls, because they had
cricket meat fer days and days.
Well what I started to say was that
the Pest News Letter sez that Mr..
Corkins was bein' joined by Mr.. Lock-
wood from the u S. Bureau of Ento-
mology in fightin' the Mormon crick-
cts and at is hoped that the two can
play the role that the gulls played
in the early history of the Mormons
of Utah."

men in re-establishin' the balance of
nature. Remember the Utes and do
