line up on basic economic grievances,
which in measure affect them more
directly, and more flagrantly, than the
aristocratic Brotherhoods.
The party born at Salina will have
a large delegation at the st. Paul con-
vention, it will enter the coming cam
paign in Kansas and attract large
masses of both farmers and workers
to its standard. Tho its name may
belle its persent nature the following
two resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted will indicate its senti-
ment both on matters industrial and
international:
Resolution on Alexander Howat.
WHEREAS, Kansas has been the
scene Of an attempt to force upon the
farmers and workers, not alone of
this state but of the nation, system
of modern economic slavery en-
bodied in the so-called Kansas Indus
trial Court Law; and inasmuch as the
United States Supreme Court has
recently declared this Industrial Court
Law to be unconstitutional; therefore,
be it
"RESOLVED, that we greet with
pleasure and recognition the services
of Alexander Howat and his brave as
sociates in the United Mine Workers
of America, who fought against it,
even to the length of submitting to
confinement in jail--so that the rights
of the workers and farmers of Kansas
and the nation would not be restricted
by the Industrial Court Law, which is
now dead ISSUE"
Resolution on Soviet Russia.
WHEREAS, the persent policy on
the part Of the Federal Government in
refusing recognition to Soviet Russia,
is not in accord with the true prin-
ciples of human solidarity; and in adj
dition is causing great injury to the
interests Of the farmers and workers
of America; and the cotton growers of
Texas could not complete large CON
tracts for the expectation of cotton
to Russia, because of the existing
restrictions and difficulties; and
WHEREAS, immense shipments of
Russian wheat and other grains are
now on the world market and are be-
ing purchased by fifteen European
countries, thereby entering into COM
petition with the wheat growers Of
America and the world and because
the present non-recognition of Soviet
Russia aggravates this painless, unsys-
tematic competition; therefore, be it
"RESOLVED, that we, Kansas farm
ers and workers in convention as
sembled, call upon the so-called farm
bloc in Congress to make renewed eff
forts to the end that the Government
of Soviet Russia be recognized at the
earliest possible moment, and that
suitable negotiations by the respective
governments be entered into that will
accrue to the interests Of the pro-
ducing farmers and workers Of both
countries"

Newfoundland Union
Fishermen Dropping
Politics AS Protest

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, May 90
The Fishermen's Union party has
withdrawn from Newfoundland poll
tics, w. f. Coaker, leader Of the par
ty and president and leader of the
whole political and economic move
ment centering around the Fisher
mems Protective union, all of which
Is years ago he founded, retired in dis
gust from the legislature and took
the IL Fishermen's party members
with him.
Henceforth Coaker will devote him
self to the management of the gigan
tic industrial and commercial wing OF
the fishermen's enterprise.
Union May Disappear.
No longer in the northern bays and
harbors Of the island where the Union
party in former days swept the dis
tricts. will the battle-cry rally the
the fishermen of the coasts to surge
up to the polling booths. Even the
union itself may in a short time disap
pear from the field, leaving the com
mercial and industrial wing as the
only representative Of what was the
greatest old fire-eating workers move
ment ever known in Newfoundland.
This withdrawal of the Union party
from politics followed after the prime
minister of the party with which the
fishermen were in coalition had been
found guilty Of huge grating. The
man kept his seat in parliament just
the same and the fishermen thought
1t time to clear out of the sinking cor
ruption of Newfoundland politics.
But meanwhile the interests of the
fishermen and the workers are un-
represented in the political arena. now
that the Union party has dropped out.
Last year the Union Trading company
handled 16.0O0.000 lbs. Of Goldfish. TINS
year it will handle 30,0OO.00O lbs. an
increase of nearly 100 per cent. The
entire situation, on account of its
great dependence on its founder, is
in the hands of that one man.

He said that he had spent the mon

Only 2 out of 700 votes in the con.

Food Workers.

This is the reply of the Food Work

Greek restaurant owners. At the
meeting, the Greek workers were
most insistent on carrying on the or
ganization plans and meeting the in

work.
First Greek Food Drive.
Until the organization campaign of
the Food Workers was undertaken, it
had been thought impossible, to or

job. So now, when an industrial I'M

they are met with the charge they are
not bona fide labor union.
At the membership mass meeting

more than $50 was contributed by the
members to carry on the organization

resemble the typhoid bacillus, but since
their action in the body is more rapidly

In nearly all Gases this kind Of pois.

contaminated meat and milk. In some

reduce to the minimum the possibility
of infected meats getting into the

"Certsin precautions to guard
against this kind Of poisoning can be
taken. Contaminated meat or milk is
no different to the eye than wholesome
meat milk. Thorough cooking, how
ever, destroys the oganism in mean,

DEATHBY FOOD POISONING
A little Boy has just died on farm
near Coulee. and three of the family
are critically III, after eating preserv-
ed fruit and tomato pickles. One Of
the daughters put aside the jar of fruit
just after it was opened, saying it was
spoiled. but her mother tasted it and
declared it all right. SO the family ate
il. Every little while there is some
such tragedy reported in the papers.
It is hard to say emphatically, If there
is any question whatever that dish of
food is not right DO NOT EAT IT.
Better to burn up q few cents worth
Of food than to risk precious life.
Everyone must eat, SO everyone is
possible victim OF food poisoning. "
said DR.. Victor Burke Of the State Col
lege Of Washington, head of the bactri-
ology department, recently. From
90, 600 to zoe, 900 people in the United
States suffer in this way every year.
In 1918 there were 842 deaths from
food poison. &
Recent outbreaks at Walla Walla,
WASH, Cambridge, Ida, and Albany,
Ore. have attracted attention. Nearly
all such outbreaks are due to carele So
ness or ignorance, and are preyentable.
The causes are numerous. Briefly,
they may be classified thus: 1-naturally
poisonous foods, such as mushrooms
and toadstools; 2-poisonous chemicals,
such as strychnine and arsenic; 3-food
infections due to specific bacteria in
food which set up infection in the in
testines; 4-bacterial poisons or toxins,
substances produced in the food as the
result of the growth of bacillus bot
ulisms. The result Of eating such food
is poisoning known as botulism.
psychologists and medical men are
discarding the old term 'ptomaine
poisoning. Its use denotes a lack of
exact information or knowledge. Pto-
maine poisoning rarely occurs, and only
in mild form. Practically all food
poison cases fall into the above men,
toned four classes. Ptomaines slightly
toxic products of bacterial decomposi-
ton.
1.-THE general belief is that preserved
food becomes poisonous as result of
being left in tin containers. This is
fostered by the statements on labels
that the cans should be emptied as
soon as opened. Lead and tin are
poisonous. 1t was formerly believed
that after can was opened some
change occurred whereby the food be-
came poisonous because of its contact
with the tin container. We now be-
lieye the reason to be bacterial de-
composition, and tee food will become
poisonous as fast out of the can as in
it.
"The remedy lies in eating preserved
food AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after
it is opened, before decomposition can
be set in. Canned fish decomposes
