NEARLY BREAKS UP
POLISH GATHERING
Manhasset Co. Employees Re-
ceives Frigid Reception at
Strikers Party
fybursky Hailed Into Court For Al
legged Treatment of frkoxia

Among the striking former work
ers OF the Manhasset Mfg. Company
are many people of Polish nationality
and last Sunday they had a party at
the home Of John Tvbursky, located
near the old race track. There were
between so and 90 present and every
thing went along congenially until
Dan frkovltf appeared on the scene
with his family.
Dan wasn't a welcome addition TO
tbs party and he was informed as
much in words that he could not mis-
take. The reason for his presence
at the party not being desired was
due simply to the fact that he decid-
ed not to go on strike with the others
and has continued at his work. Among
the strikers, therefore, he IS not as
popular as he used to be.
However, when Dan was told in
clear, concise terms. TO get off the
premises. he went his wav and with
out argument, he says. But he AYERS
that abusive and ungentlemaniy
language was hurled at him, princip-
ally by the owner of the property,
John Tybursky, who as a result of
the incident was arrested, charged
with breach of peace. John pleaded
not guilty when arraigned in the city
court Monday morning before Dep
uty Judge Macdonald and through
an interpreter, established his limo
cense, as the charge against him was
nolled and he was discharged
Quite a number of the Manhasset
strikers were interested spectators of
court proceedings, as the defendant
was one of their number.

Another instance of how liquid

day when quartet of Putnam Polish
residents drank over-much of this
fluid, got into fight and landed IN

Stanley Novak. motored 10 Webster,

would appear. However, when the
party arrived back in Manhasset Viii
lage, a mitigation jug filled with
moonshine whiskey was found IN the
back of the ear. Novak claimed in
court that il was out there without
his knowledge or consent; that he
knew nothing about it.
Fight Starts Over Cards
However, the party entered
house on South Meadow street and
besides consuming much of the con-
tents of the jug, started a game of
auction pitch. There was an argu-
ment and a fight. In the fraeas
Lucok was quite severely pummeled.
The police were called by neighbors
who heard the row. Novak was not
in the party, as he had gone home
after delivering his passengers at
their destination. But the police
rounded up the other three. FIRE,
however. took to his heels and was
halted only by the officer firing Oft
his revolver in the air.
When arraigned in the city court
Monday morning before Deputy
Judge Macdonald, all four of the auto
party TO Webster were charged with
gambling and breach of
the peace. Novak proved his inno-
cence and was discharged. Mike
Sadzenski was fined $50 and costs
for drunkenness and $40 and costs
for breach of the peace. A similar
fine was imposed on John Lucok.
John FIRE was fined only on the
charge, being assessed
$50 and costs.

A WORD ABOUT FARM CREDIT.

Il remains to be demonstrated Il t
there is any considerable number of farm
ers Of the class able to offer security for
credit who have uot been getting it. The
complaint of lack of credit facilities has
been chiefly from people WhO cOutt not
offer n DrODeT basis for ccOmmOdGtGOES
or 1ghO borrowed more than IS good for
them. although in boom times the banks
are sometimes ct fault in mlSplaClng so
much credit that they do not have enough
to 90 around where it is deserved. All
of this, however. does not prove that
credit facilities are inadequate.
The first condition precedent to the use
of credit is that the wOuld-be borrower
shall Rave demonstrated hat he is capa-
bic of using itIadvantageously. The best
wav he can do this is by working for
wages. saving something from his wages
and making a small start with the capt.
tai thus occurred. The man who is able
to make a showing of this kind generally
is able to command a proportiOnate
amount of additional capital.
Use OF CREDIT OVERDUE.
There is O tendency to OVer estimate

9 edit qUGs made available. People d e
prone to think If only q reservoir Of cre-
dit could be tapped conditions might be
TevoLutionized. They Imagine that all
farms might be improved, pr2ductton IN
creased living and Worklng conditions
changed forthwith; but this as not posi-
bic, such changes are gradual and evo-
|Iutionary. Even if the credit or money
was to be had, the physical labor requir-
ed would have to be spread oveF a long
time. The real improvement Of condl-
tons is accomplished By the labor that
can be spared for that purpose over and
above that required to make a living.

able for borrowing Is limited, and eTdg-
