The Harrington, family now began
to sport new automobiles and no ex-

comfort of the lucky family. The
miners paid the bill of course.
After the automobiles and the
handsome residence came the orange
groves in Alabama. This will be
treated in another article. We will
now deal with efforts of the miners
to bring Harrington to justice, within
the union, for his selling out to Colo
mel Frank L. Smith, the banker demo

When harrington was found guilty
of taking Smiths money the miners

But the coal operators nobly rallied

came an Italian company after
the warts trying to prove that
he had nothing to do with sell
ing the ship to his client.
He offers an affidavit from William
Phillips, who was acting secretary at
the time Of the sale, showing that
Hughes had become secretary after
the negotiations had been under way
a long time, and that Hughes request
ed that the case be disposed of with
out his having further knowledge Of it.
This ship was worth 100000 or
more when the ex-Austrian company
got her. back for 100000, under plea
that the company was Italian and was
entitled to compensation amounting
to 100000 for her use during five
years
The state department recommended
to the slipping board that the 100000
offer of settlement and sale be &C
cepted, in view of the failure of the
senate to ratify the peace treaties ne
gotiated by President Wilson. The
board followed this advice.

the District ~.
Prior to the elections in District IL,
he returned to Springfield to attend a
convention of the Illinois Federation
of Labor. Fearing that he might be
exposed at the convention for wear
ing non-union made clothes, he called
at a clothing store and demanded un-
ion labor goods to wear at the conven-
ton. Thus rugged out he considered
himself thoroly qualified for any Office
in the power of the workers to give
him. His unionism was just about as
deep as the label he wore on his hat.

In the contest for the presidency
between himself and Adolph Germer,
the tellers found harrington elected
by some nine hundred votes. 1t was
discovered later however. that at least
two thousand Of the votes were
stolen, but it was then to late to file
a contest. The miners of District 10
should bear this in mind, when the
ballots in the next election are
counted. Harrington got into the
presidents Office by stealing votes
and it is not likely that he will leave
it as long as he can count the ballots.

ais never carried it out, and kept
their office in. Lynn, and any time
trouble arose in a shop the officials
would bar the local authority which
was provided in the constitution and
take the matter in their hands. It
will be enuf to show two instances
which prove where they stand. Last
August the nine ironers Of the Con-
way and Mclaughlin Shoe Co, refused
to do any more work on certain shoe
unless the firm at least will agree to
pay the state boards prices. The
firm fired them, and before the day
was over the national Office filled
their places with union" scabs. On
Sept. 5, a decision was rendered by
the state board to the vampers of the
]. r. Donovan Shoe Co. on a certain
shoe which the superintendent of the
firm has admitted to the writer of
these lines that the decision was not
a fair one to the workers. Yet when
the vampers protested, the general
president told the firm to fire them"
and made a statement in the Lynn
Press that the vampers did not act
like men, and any decision handed
down by the state board, that he will
see to it that it is lived up to.
When the Amalgamated came to
Lynn twenty-one months ago there
was only one open shop in Lynn out
Of seventy. Today you find twenty
seven open shops out of sixty.
Under such conditions something
had to be done, so we tried to merge
with the Haverhill Shoe Workers

all there was in their power to crush
the movement. The result was that
the 1900 members the Amalgamated
had in Brooklyn, N. Y. have turned
over to the Haverhill Protective I'm

Lynn have seeded from the Amalga.
mated and are functioning as indepen.
dent unions until there will be
chance to merge with an organization
that will work for the benefit of the
workers and not with an organization
that turned its headquarters into
scab agency.
Knowing all that the rank and file
overwhelmingly voted for the doing
away with the general office. The
new organization will start to function
on Jan. 1, 1925. The local unions will
remain at at present, the joint coun
Gil and general council will be done
away with and district council, com
posted of two delegates from each To-
cal will take its place. A general
agent will be elected for the purpose
of carrying out the decisions made
by the district council. The Boston
Stonhan and Chicago locals may re-
main in the Lynn district union.
The militants are drawing their
forces together more now than ever
before for the Amalgamation of all
independent shoe unions into one big
organization.

Il was pointed out by some mill
tants that district organization has
outlived its usefulness, and the only
way the workers could ever acquire
is only thru an organization
that is built on an industrial line, and

100 BUSHELS OF CORN PER ACRE

Extension specialists at Ohio State
University have compiled the exper-
ience of the 40 Ohio farmers who in
the past six years have succeeded in
growing 100 or more bushels Of corn
to the acre on 10 acres.
The tabulation shows that Of all
those who have made the Hundred
Bushel Club" 68 per cent have plant
ed corn following clover; 48 per cent
have manured the land; 65 per cent
have used mixed fertilizer; 48 per
cent have used acid phosphate, and 35
per cent have used acid phosphate and
manure.
Fifty-five per cent of the successful
contestants planted their corn in
checks and As per cent in hills; 65 per
cent planted yellow corn, and 35 per
cent planted white varieties. The facts
are presented in detail in recent is
sue Of "Timely Soil Topics" published
by the University.
One thing the figures show is that
to raise 100 or more bushels of corn
to the acre is more than a perform
ance; it is excellent business. High
yields to the acre cut down overhead
and reduce cost per bushel. W. H. Gill
