BUCKET SHOP SHARKS
 CLEAN UP MILLIONS

New York, Sept. 15.-Criminal pro ceedings disclose that millions of dol lars have been swept into bucket shops and brokers offices by credu- lous people in every section of the country.
 These offices have been often main tained by vicious characters, who se- cured the secret backing of so-called respectable citizens The crooks were interlocked with bankers, politicians and bushes men in such devious ways that no court procedure has yet untangled them.
 The public's losses are estimated from $75,ooo ooo to $Ioo, ,ooo, 900. These vast amounts were furnished by peo- pie who were lured by the fairy tales of riches in oil stocks and all manner of industrial wild cat schemes.
 It is believed that not one per cent. of the money taken from the public will be restored to them.

Win Long Strike

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept 15.-The mo- tor fleet of the Yellow Motor Car company appeared on the streets with this sign on each car: "Union Cab"
 The company took this method of informing the public it's 3I-months' fight with organized chauffeurs, affili- ated with the Brotherhood of Team sters, was anded.
 The strike started New Years eve, 1921, when the company attempted to a week and commissions.
 The workers victory is practically 100 per cent. Their old rate is re- stored, and only union men will be employed. The union agrees to ac- cept as members any employe of the company now engaged. The company will withdraw $25o,ooo damage suit.

CLERGYMAN OF N. (. DEFENDS
 DIXIE LABOR

Charlotte, N C., Sept. 15.-With ridicule and sarcasm Rev. Tom P Jimison replies to an evangelist al Cramerton, a mill town, near here who
 thanked God that our southern
 mill operators have sense enough
 to run their own business without
 allowing foreign immigration to
 come in and dictate how they
 shall work. 1 want you fellows,
 when these agitators come in, in
 terfering with your business, to
 go out and hold prayer meeting
 with them. Make it so hot for
 them that they will have to leave
 town"
 Following this indictment to vio- fence, the evangelist praised the one textile mill owner in that town fo1 Keeping his hands satisfied"
 Writing in the Charlotte Herald Rev Jimison defends labor, while pro- fessing alarm at the growing discon- tent "of these textile hands"
 Of course we want our hands to be satisfied, said the clergyman. "But many of these workers are wondering how 1t is that being built up spiritu- ally will keep the bangs of hunger from gnawing when the 1arder is low
 They are asking how we expect them to be sustained spiritually when their craving for leisure, for books, for education, for a measifFA of inde- pendence, for all those things which make for spirituality are denied them by reason of low wages and long hours.
 "It is really alarming how informed and discontented and stubborn some of these textile hands are getting.
 Christians praying for a man, even though that man be an agitator, would not ruin him out of town That sort of a meeting would not be hot No one would run from it. And even were. it true that such a procedure would run the agitator out, we must not encourage it. Praying is a dan gerous thing when you connect 1t up with industrial institutions You get real Christians to praying for agita- tors and they will remember to pray for children, for children who are overworked and underfed. They will pray for women and for ignorant and oppressed people.
 Cant you see how dangerous that is? It will create more discontent than thousand welfare workers can handle. Better leave the praying off, If we are going to try to keep our hands satisfied. If the agitators come, have them arrested by the company policeman If that don't work, get up a mob and bluff them off with threats of tar and feathers"

 "A telegram sent to local union of fcials at Herrin, by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work CTS, placing workers of the strip mines in the category of strike break CTS was shrewd1y twisted and dis torted, according to the boasts of the Communist lades at Chicago, into an Invitation to attack the strip mines and the workmen employed there.
 "This telegram was bounced upon by the Communist agents and distort- ed into an excuse for an attack upon the strip mine. The workers there were captured and, under the leader ship of the Io Communist agents who, according to Nick Dozenburg, one of the Chicago agitators, had been i'm ported for the purpose of starting in surrection and revolution, the men were shot down"

 JUNEAU, Apr. 27-The bill of Representative Decker, of the Second Division, calling for the repeal of the Territorial syndicalist act of 1919, was yesterday afternoon defeated in the House by a vote of 13 to 3. Decker, Ross and Wilson supported the mea- sure. Prior to the vote Decker read a prepared address which took an hour and forty minutes to deliver. In covering the subject he argued that the syndicalist law was abridged be- cause there were plenty of Federal laws which covered the subject. It was his opinion that the present law was vicious one, directly and indirectly. He also made further ref erence to the alleged street rumors in which stated that he was radical and was backed by the I. w. w., giv- ing absolute denial of any connection with that organization. In concluding his address he asserted that the re- peal measure had the support of sev- eral churches of different denomina- tions. On his resigning the floor a roll call was taken with the above mentioned results.
 Senate bill No. 107, giving to the regents of the Alaska college power to appoint instructors was defeated in the House. The House also defeated the measure which would give to In- dian villages certain powers enjoyed by municipalities regarding police control and trial. Representative Ross of the Fourth division, who vot- ed against the measure gave notice that today he would ask for recon sideration of the measure.
 The bill regulating the speed of motor vehicles on highways outside of incorporated towns was passed.
 The bill reducing individual bank. ing loans to thirty-five per cent of the capital stock and surplus, instead of fifty, as now provided, was brought up and after short delibera ton, was passed.
 The bill including the allowance for the construction of schools outside of incorporated towns was passed. The measure provided for the sum of s25OO instead of $500 previously in corporated in the measure.
 The Senate passed the bill provid- ing for an additional appropriation of $12,OOO for relief of the destitute.
