EYE WITNESS STORY OF MOB
 VICTIM WHO ALSO WAS WITH
 GREGOR BEFORE HIS EXECUTION

Here is the story of A. F. Raash, bunk-mate of E. C. Gregor who was hanged by mob at Harrison, Ark Raash was interviewed at Springfield, Mo-, by a United Press correspon- dent. Raash had fled to Springfield after having been terribly beaten by the mob that hanged Gregor The correspondent says that Raash, when interviewed, was covered with bruises caused by blows from gun butts and one eye was black and blue.
 "Gregor couldn't possibly have had anything to do with the burning of M. & N. A. bridges because he slept right beside me near Branson, Mo, almost every night since October r." Raash told the correspondent
 "We had been working for the Ozark Power & Water Company, building dam down the river from Branson and Friday morning Gregor and l decided to pay visit to onr families in Harrison.
 "The bridges had been burned when we arrived, so he could have had nothing to do with 1t"
 Raash, who Is not a striker, told of being led into the woods by a mob of 20 men and threatened with hang ing unless he confessed burning bridges on the railroad, the cores pondent said. He says he was also told that every union man around and in Harrison Tuesday would be strung to trestle.
 "I was sitting around the stove in my home in Harrison, reading the Bible to my wife and three children" said Rash "The first thing I knew my front door was knocked open with the butt of a rifle.
 Two men came in and the rest stood on my porch.
 "'We want you,' said one, and he leaned over and smashed me in the face.
 My wife and children rushed to me and threw their arms around me and cried for mercy One by one they were torn away and thrown into the corners of the room and I was led out into the night.
 "The mob took me to spot in the woods near Harrison. I was beaten would not confess to burning bridges. had been in Harrison only on Thanks giving and Christmas.
 "'Let's hang him. cried one of the crowd He moved in from the out skirts and I judged he had rope.
 "'No, let's beat him some more cried another, and I was Knocked down and tramped on until was un- conscious. When I came to, 1 was dressed only in my trousers, socks and underwear. I was kicked again and again, and told if I was seen in Harrison I would be hanged to a trestle I went home and put on some clothes, kissed my wife and children goodbye and started up the road south from Harrison.
 II saw other naobs along the road SO I hit into the mountains and l have been on the road ever since"

WANTS GOVERNMENT TO OWN POSTOFFICES

1 Washington, Feb. 2.-Unconscion-
 able prohteering by landlords whose
 speciality is renting buildings to the
 postohice department has led Post
 master General Work to insist that
 congress shall establish the policy of
 government ownership of buildings
 where postal business Is conducted
 and authorize the immediate construc-
 tion of postofices to curb the appe-
 ties of the more fragrant pro6teers.
 "The demand for new buildings to
 handle the enormous volume of par eel post business now flooding the postal system comes from every di- rection of the nation,' declares the de- partment. "It must be promptly met.
 Under the present arrangement the department can, only meet 1t by mak
 ing contracts with landlords to con struct additional buildings providing more space. These prospective land lords finance the propositions by bor- rowing money at 7 or 8 per cent, add taxes, insurance and profits, and then the government bears the entire bur den through big rental charges. At the end of these contracts or leases the government although 1t has in some instances practically paid the entire cost of the buildings in rem tals, is obliged to renew the leases at enhanced rentals"
 In order to persuade the present penny-pinching and reactionary con- gress to authorize his government ownership policy Postmaster General Work recommends that the money to finance the building program be bor- rowed at an interest rate of from 3N | to per cent, thus eliminating the | exorbitant rents paid to landlords | that is equivalent to from I2 to I5l per cent on their investments At the l present time the department is paying | annually $I2,ooo,ooo in rentals. Post master General Work claims that his | government ownership program will save at least $o,ooo,ooo of this amount |

ARKANSAS MUST
 CURB ANTI-UNION VIOLENCE, GOMPERS A. F. of l.. Chief in Statement In- sists Government of State
 Must Intervene,

Washington, Feb. 2.-President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has issued statement in sisting that the government of Arkan- sas shall intervene to protect the striking employees of the Missouri & North Arkansas railroad at Harrison, Ark, from mob violence.
 "The facts of mob violence, of usurpation of municipal authority, of intimidation ,are matters of open rec ord," declares President Gompers.
 "Properly constituted government Tn the state of Arkansas can vindicate itself only by a speedy determination of responsibility and an adequate and quickly determined punishment for those guilty of one of the worst atrocities of our time
 Where there is so much enmity against labor, surely it is only fair to insist that duly constituted authority take charge and perform it's duty in situation such as this'
 The anti-labor mob dictatorship at Harrison is organized under the aus pices of local citizens committed" One striker has been lynched and sev- eral driven from the state.

Municipal Ownership
 to Fight PrOfteers

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2-"To protect the people from profteering in the essential necessaries of life and to bring the producers and consumers together for their mutual benefit without middlemen intervening" de- clares Governor Charles w. Bryan, q recommend a general statute giv- ing all cities, towns and villages the authority to acquire, establish and operate municipal water plants, light plants, gas plants, ice plants, coal and fuel houses, slaughter houses and public markets, and to provide money for the same by taxation"
 Governor Bryan also recommends the encouragement of cooperative marketing facilities by making CO., operative companies exempt from antitrust laws, adequate state rural credits systems, continuation of the state law guaranteeing bank deposits, a referendum on war, and opposition to any enforced slavery system such as an industrial court"

Swedish Employment
 Insurance Joker?

Stockholm, Sweden, Feb. 2-The report of the special committee ap- pointed by the government to inves- tigate unemployment insurance op- poses collecting any portion of the insurance fund from either employers or local communities and recommends that the fund shall be contributed in equal amounts by the workers and the government.
 Unemployment relief is limited to one-half the wage rate for 70 days in one year and will be paid on con dition that the unemployment "is not attributable to the act or fault of the workman"
 Careful students of labor legislation fear that under the administration of the proposed measure unemployed workers who refuse to become strike breakers will be held to be unem- ployed because of their "act or fault D

MUFFINS

Five miners, accused at Herrin, H., have been found not guilty.
 Newspapers, pampered by exploit CTS, take the verdict very much to heart. They don't like 1t, even though 1t is the verdict of jury in a prop erly constituted court of law
 Exploiters like only that which helps them.
 Meanwhile no kept newspapers are saying anything about the three union miners who were the FIRST victims at Herrin.
 For those that like to study the newspaper world the Herrin case of fers interesting material.
 
 Big Jim" Larkin, one time leader of the Irish lockers, has been par doned from Sing Sing by Gov. Al Smith,. This was very unpleasant news to a lot of people. They thought Larkin ought to be kept in the pen as long as possible.
 The truth is that every person whose offense was by printed or spoken word during the war ought to be freed.
 - Larkin may be all kind of freak; but that is neither here nor there. If he breaks the law in the future there are courts to see about 1t.
 This newspaper has admiration neither for Larkin's philosophy nor his judgment; and that also Is neith- CT here nor there. The pardon was an act of good sense which those who are not hysterically patriotic will ap- prove.
 Union workers in north Arkansas were ordered by a mob to sign a loyalty pledge to mob and rail- road.
 Loyalty to a mob!
 Loyalty. to a railroadi
 Fine brand of Americanism, that How about being loyal to the con- stitution? How about law and the orderly processes of government? guarantees of freedom? How about the inviolability of the home?
 And the newspapers, what have they to say? Oh, they chirp merrily about the weather and the inordinate greed of labor.
 A waiter smashed a bottle of hooch on the U. g. Senate restaurant floor, disclosing the fact that Wash ington Is as wet as any place in the country-if not wetter.
 Officials who disclaim about the duty of obeying the law also indulge freely in pre-Volstead practices.
 One of the reasons why some peo- pie want to be officials seems to be that so many pipe lines have one end in so many public offices.
 A farmer works hard all year and gets a little money for his work. When he buys city products he finds that they cost high prices.
 City workers work hard and get little money. When tEey buy meat and flour and wool in clothes they find that these things cost high prices.
 Both get stung royalty by the mid dlemen between. Both have a kick and they ought both to kick the same place 1n the same way.

THE ARKANSAS MOB
 PLEDGE" -

Here is the pledge" which union men were ordered by the Arkansas mob to sign, on pain of banishment:
 q hereby decline to renounce my strike benefits, but agree to leave Heber Springs Cor other place of residence) and any coun- ty through which the M. & N. A. railroad passes. I further agree to remain out of the above territory"
 Upon refusal to sign this pledge" many men were turned over to armed guards and beaten. Some so treated were not union members, but were union sympathizers.

KLAN FIREWORKS
At PIPESTONE
Americans in Southwestern Minne-
sofa City Already q Factor.

Pipestone, Minn.-Pipestone Klan
is making progress in Klan activities
and already the great American or
ganization is factor for the better
ment of the community. Recently a
fiery cross was burned north of the
city which together with a fireworks
display aroused considerable interest,
and viewed by many Pipestone people.
Real American citizens of Pipestone
are beginning to see that there is
nothing but good in the Ku Klux Klan
and much favorable comment is
heard.
Threatening letters were sent to
several people of Pipestone bearing a
triple K signature. In that no let
tiers of the Kan are sent out unless
signed properly with the full name
of the. writer Klansmen paid little
attention to the stir that the letters
aroused. The enemies of the Klan
like to feature the letters and with
owl-ike wisedom blink and loudly in
sist that Klansmen here sent the let
ters. A certain woman of Pipestone,
it is alleged, sent the letters for a
malicious purpose.
A Klan lecturer will be in Pipe
stone sometime soon. But in that
this city as a whole believes in free
speech the people will be glad to
have the opportunity to learn more
about the KS.
