MOBBERS
 TERRIFIED STRIKERS

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The terrorizing of Harrison (Ark) railroad shop men and the lynching of one striker IS de scribed at length in book by Rev. J. K. Farris, who was located in Harri- son at the time. The book Is declared ''an amazing revelation" by Editor Martin of the Blacksmiths' Journal
 The clergyman shows that the mob was instigated by railroad officials who used this method to break peaceful strike. Gregor, one of the strikers, was hanged by the mob from railroad bridge after his home was riddled by rifle fire.
 The background of the mob was a mass meeting of citizens who called on all business men to declare for the anti-union shop.
 Editor Martin compares the failure of Daugherty and his department of justice to act in this case with his injunctions hurled at the shop men when business interests were affected.

Company-Owned Town
 Will Hear UniOnism

Olympia Wash, Aug 2.-At it's annual convention here, the State Fed eration of Labor voted to hold its next convention at Kelso. This is a chal- lenge to the anti-union policy of the company-owned town of Longview, near Kelso. Unionists at the latter place are resisting the unions smash ing program of the Long-Bell Com pany, one of the biggest lumber firms on the coast.
 Kelso delegates told the convention of the company's efforts to strangle unionism. Contractors are forced to operate under long-hdur, low-wage conditions that threaten to extend be- yond the boundaries of the company town.

 Then, look out!
 Congressman Samuel F. Wins1ow of Worcester, Massachusetts. has decided to quit
 Winslow is the corporation-own chairman of the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce. He supported the Cummins- Esch bill and, later on, fathered the sO-called Wins low bill, which would have presented the railroads with a present of $500,- 100000 from the public treasury. Fin ally, he endeavored to pigeonhole the Howell -Barkley bill and was very ac- tive in the shameless filibuster against that measure on the floor of the House
 He has been in Congress for twelve years but he had narrow escape from defeat two years ago, despite the fact that he is a mu1ti-mi1lionaire and spent a barrel of money.
 Evidently. he feared to face the voters this year. The machine will have to find a new man and Wins1ow will retire to the golf links, politically broken and discredited.
