FLOGGINGS ORDERED
BY PUBLIC OFFICIALS

Little Rock, Ark.-Emmett Crosby
testified before legislative commit
tee that city officials Of Heber
Springs ordered workers flogged to
secure information regarding alleged
depredations on the Missouri &
North Arkansas railroad.
Crosby said he was taken from his
home by mob after receiving a
warning to give information from
Mayor Vinson, who acted as spokes-
man for the mob. Crosby said he was
tied to pole and whipped by three
men. He was then warned to leave
town before sunrise, he said.
Witnesses stated that the citizens
committee has established mob gov
ernment and driven out of town every
worker and sympathizer the mob hap
pens to dislike. The test of citizen
ship the mob has set up is loyalty to
the Missouri & North Arkansas rail-
road. Anyone who says aught
against this corporation, whose def
ance Of the railroad labor board re-
suited in the present strike, is liable
to be lynched or fiogged.

STATES RIGHTS
PLEA RAISED

Charlotte, N. C.-The proposal to
regulate child labor by amending the
federal constitution will be opposed
by United States Senator Overman, of
this state, who writes to the local
central body that the plan involves
states rights.
Mr.. Overman says he will vote for
only one amendment to the constitu-
tion, and that will provide that all
amendments to the constitution will
be Submitted by the legislature to
the people, either by referendum, con-
vention, or otherwise as they may de-
termine."
II don't consider the child labor
amendment necessary, as the states
have already legislated upon this SUBJ
ject in way that is satisfactory gen.
orally, and that is the reason why /
cannot comply with your request, as
would otherwise like to do" said
Senator Overman.
"While / am heartily in favor of
child labor law, l want it done by the
people of the state and want no inter-
ference on the part of the federal
government in our local matters"

BIG TEXTILE PROFITS

New York.-Business associations
and financial interests are doing the
eyes, yes" act when northern textile
employers claim they can not compete
with southern mills. In Rhode Island
a great cry is raised over the Jenckes
Spinning Company sending portion
of the machinery Of a Pawtuckett
mill to North Carolina.
President Mcmahon, of the United
Textile Workers of America, asks if
this company is stating facts when it
claims it cannot run cotton mills at
profit.
"In the five years ending June 80,
1921, the latest figures available, this
company made total profit of $1O,-
100000" says the trade unionist.
During the first three Of these five
years the company did not own the Lo-
ray mills Of Gastonia, N. C. In those
three years its profits totaled over
$500, ,O00-all made in Rhode Island"

GIVES WARNING
Oil Magnate Tells Big Busi-
ness People Are Restless

ngton.-Testifying before the
senate oil Investigating committee,
Colonel Robert w. Stewart, of the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
said American industry must set it's
house in order and adopt definite
economic policy that will command the
respect and support of the people.
The testimony is unusual from many
standpoints and especially because
business men, when testifying before
congressional committee, have but
one song: Everything is all right
with industry save few agitators
who would destroy capital"
The testimony indicates that in the
inner circles of big business are those
who note the peoples growing re-
sentiment against the Capitalization
of wealth, excessive profits, stock divi-
dends, low wages and union smashing
The oil magnate's plain talk has
Jared those people "who don't believe
in agitators," but who now hear a
capitalist talk the same language of
men who are called "agitators The
testimony is an acknowledgment that
big business has about run it's high
binder course and that it must shorten
sail and reorganize it's policy.
Colonel Stewards warning is con-
sidered SO important that the Wash
ington Post, spokesman for the ma
tional administration and friend OF
trade unions-"when they are rur
right itself in sack cloth and
ashes and trumpets to the world;
American industry, in'many respects
has been blind to light and deaf te
reason affecting it's own existence"

WHITEWASHERS
In Congress Would Jail Kel-
Ter, But Are Only Sub
jects of Ridicule
Lame Ducks Set Themselves
For After March A
Plnms

Washington.-The house judiciary
committee was ridiculed by Congress-
man Connally for stating in its
Daugherty whitewash report that the
house has the power to confine Con-
gresham Keller in jail until he con-
sents to testify before the committee.
The Texas lawmaker quoted the
constitution, court decisions, legal au-
thorities, precedent and English de-
cisions to show that members of the
judiciary committee, composed mainly
of lawyers, ignored their profession,
Congressman Connally based his po-
sition on this point:
Congress has the right to expel
member, because that power is ex-
pressly granted under the constitu-
tion, but when that member is ex-
PEELED his constituents have the power
and the right under the constitution
to elect successor to represent them
here. But when the house of repre-
sentatives asserts the right to take
from this floor a member who repre-
sents 100000 or 100000 people and in
carcerate him in the public Jail, and
prevent the exercise of his duties on
the floor of this house, because he re-
fuses to testify before committee,
it violates the very principle upon
which the constitutional privilege was
established"
1t is declared the house will not act
on the committees recommendation
but the lame ducks on the committee
have proven their regularity" when
the plums are to be distributed after
March d.
Congressman Thomas, of Kentucky,
traced the record of the judiciary
committee in this case, and showed its
bias. The speaker referred to the re-
fusal of Attorney General Daugherty
to appear before the committee and
be cross-examined.
Congressman Blanton was given
some newspaper publicity because OF
his attack on President Gompers in
this case. Congressman Thomas made
this scathing reference to his Texas
colleague:
He (Blanton) has about as much
knowledge of the case as a swar
| floating on the broad bosom of mid.
Atlantic has of the immeasurable
depths beneath it."

WAR SHIPS DOOMED
Hints Officer After Recent
Bombing Experiments

Washington.-Recent bombing ex-
periments have demonstrated conclu-
sively" that aircraft bombs can put
out OF commission any naval vessel
that has been designed or built UP to
that time, declares General Pershing
in an article in the Aeronautical Di-
gest.
The army official does not enter into
the realm of prophecy, but he makes
it clear that no war ship has yet been
devised to cope with aerial bombing.
While due acknowledgment is made of
the peace-time conditions under
which these bombings were made, and
that the war ships presented no de-
fense, General Pershing says:
"The bombing experiments of year
ago pointed out that one Of the major
missions of this air force which will
form part of the army Of the United
States, it was demonstrated conclu-
sively that aircraft bombs can be
dropped with surprising accuracy,
and that they could put out of COM
mission and actually sink any naval
vessel which had been designed or
built up to that time"
To cope with these new conditions
the army official recommends that the
government encourage the new means
of transportation and communica-
tion, and that commercial aircraft
ship be developed to the highest point.
The statement would indicate that
ponderous battleship fleets will even
tually be replaced by air fleets.

again without first being sure it is
safe to do SO. How was 1 to know
that Hooty had taken Blacky the
Crows old nest?"
Meanwhile Hooty and Mrs. Hooty
sat in trees close to that pile Of
brush and hissed and clacked their
stout, hooked bills and threatened
things to Bobby Coon Just to hear
them made Bobby shiver and shake.
But Mrs. Hooty didn't stay long.
Those two babies back in the nest
needed attention. So, with a last
dreadful threat, she flew away. But
Hooty remained. He ached all over
Tor another chance at Bobby Coon.
But at last even his patience gave
out, or else he felt that he was need
ed at home.
Bobby Coon didn't know when
Hooty left. You see. big as they are,
those wings of Hooty's make no
sound. When he flew away it was
In perfect silence. But Bobby Coon
was in no hurry to leave. He had
made one mistake that morning, and
that was enough. He had no inten-
ton of making another mistake. He
would stay right there until he was
sure that the way was clear. Then
ne would get away from that part of
tne Green Forest as fast as possible,
ana keep away. Young Owls might
be very good eating. He didn't know,
for he never had tried them. But he
was sure that they were not worth
what he had already suffered.
So 1t was long, long after the Black
SnaooWs had crept all through the
Green Forest and brought darLnass
there that Bobby Coon crept out from
under that pile of brush and as noise
lessly, but as fast as he could. hurried
away. He was sadder, a very much
sadder Coon than he had been early
tnar morning, but also he was much
wiser Wisdom, you know, often is
attained at the cost of fright and
pain. But often it is worth it. =
