Incidents of family row were aired before Justice of the Peace Charles Nj. Perrin of North Wood stock on Monday afternoon, when Arthur Toumela was arraigned to answer to several charges.
 Arthur was arrested last Thursday for the alleged beating he gave his wife. The case was not heard that day because, it is stated, she was not physically able to appear in court on account of her experiences in the hands of her husband. Arthur not being able ofurnish bond, was talk en to jail.
 He was brought back to North Woodstock on Monday and his wife appeared before Mir. Perrin. The trouble between the pair was discus. sed, the wife refusing to appear against her husband. Judge Perrin nolled the charge against Arthur of having assaulted his wife with dan gerous weapon, to wit rifle. But on the other charges Arthur was giv- en two months jail sentence, with execution of the penalty suspended during good behavior. Arthur how ever, paid the costs of court, amount ing to a bit over s60.
 Keeping a dog not licensed accord ing to law and owning and keeping gun. when aliens are not allowed to under law, were the other two charges against Arthur. The state police took the rifle in their charge.

The carpenters and metal workers
went out on May 1, when they we're
denied an increase of 25 cents per

open shop conditions. Bricklayers,
electrical workers, hodcarriers, hoist

laborers, iron workers, plasterers,

MINERS JOURNAL
.CENSORS NEWS OF
MACHINE DEFEAT
Appointive Power Loss
is Not Mentioned
By THOMAS MYERscoUoH.

The $50 delegates attending the
convention of District u, u M. w. Of
A., at Peoria, ILL.,, May 1927, declared
against the appointive power and in
favor of a special convention for Alex
Howat. The Journal, official organ
of the miners union, failed to men
ton these facts in its issue Of June l,
altho the action was taken in advance
of things that are mentioned in the
column of space devoted to that con-
vention.
Outside OF the stereotyped Lewis
slogan that there will be no back
ward step or modification" there is
nothing of note in the article. 1t prob
ably would have been better If the
editor had kept from the pages of the
Journal any news of the convention,
for the line of bunk that he did run
was of the kind that leaves one as ig-
norant of the facts after he has FIN
ished reading it as he was before.
The Journals account says that the
international officers paid particular
attention to the unemployment situa-
ton, but what they actually did was
to confess their bankruptcy of things
remedial. They made rambling
speeches that failed to thrill the dele
gates, and the thoughts Of the es-
arrangement between Lewis and Far
rington, that had now been patched
up, seemed to be the predominant
thing on their mind. The interna-
tional officers were perhaps afraid
that the delegates would refuse to go
wild over their visit-and their fears
we're well grounded. They could
guess from the action already taken
by the convention that their own days
were numbered, and consequently
there is no reason to wonder at the
Journals censorship.

INTER-CITY CONTEST DRAWS
TO A WHIRLWIND CLOSE
Many Changes Predicted for Quota
List at Finish

Whether it has been because of the stimulation
given by of the tremendous Honor Roll show
ing as published in the recent issues Of THE DAILY
WORKER or whether the slower ones have been
shamed into activity the fact remains that the last
few days have shown unusual results. Yet there are
still some who hold their honor cheaply that they
are willing to let the first DAILY WORKER sub-cam-
pagn slide past without adding their names to the
militants' list.
How well the militants are watching their cam
pagn is shown by the number Of comments and cor
rections which have come into the DAILY WORKER
Office Many comrades complain that they have not
given credit for all the subs they have turned
in No doubt errors have been made in the compila-
ton of the results. With so great of record
keeping and with so much similarity in Names the
creep in But every precaution has been taken
to see to it that everyone who has sold sub

While the special offer for trial subs has been ex-
tended until July 1s the quota list will be closed
June 15 All subscriptions which have been mailed
before that date will be entered into the quota
list none thereafter This ruling is made in fairness
to all contestants.
With the keen competition which has existed, it is
expected that many changes will take place in the
cities standing. Since last weeks quota list was
published. many Of the leaders have sent in new
patches of subs. 1t is certain that among the top
twenty unusual efforts will be made to finish of the
campaign with the greatest possible activity.

RAIL SHOPMEN
DOUBLE-CROSSED
ON SENIORITY
Baltimore Peace Pact
Voided by Bosses

Railroad shopmen who participated
in the 1922 strike and who thought
their seniority would be restored after
the Baltimore settlement are finding
that on many roads they will get moth
ing, but must let strikebreakers who
took their places have precedence in
seniority as to job security and other
rights.
Vice President Roy Horn, Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Blacksmiths
makes known this discovery in the
columns of his union journal
The mems policy committee, which
recommended ending of the strike in
September, 1922, believed that senior
ity would be restored and the strikers
advanced over the strikebreakers by
the Baltimore agreement commission
of six rail executives and six labor
members which was established to
iron out difficulties after the strike.

But the commission is deadlocked.
THE six labor members voted to re-
store seniority of the returned strik.
ers as 1t was June 80, 1922, and the
six railroad members voted not to
restore seniority" says Horn who is
one of the six labor members. I'VE
all wish it were in our power to get at
least one of the railroad members to
open his heart and cast the deciding
vote. AS one member Of the commits
sion / am beginning to believe that
the belief of the policy committee of
the unions was wrong and that the la
Dor members have been steered up
against a stone wall"
Company Breaks Faith.
Horn also regretfully reports that
the New York Central, instead Of hon
estly and alphabetically carrying
out the peace agreement is following
out policy where the old men are
being laid off and the strikebreakers
retained in service" Two other rail
road presidents have promised to rea-
son with President Crowley of the

RAILROAD BOARD

The United States railroad labor
board has earned the nickname Wiggle
and Wobble by decision in which,
without consideration of new evil
dence, it completely reverses a de-
cision of three months ago. The re-
versal is made under pressure from
the railroad management and is unfa-
yorable to the status of the employee
as free citizen.

the railroads rule prohibiting such a
practice. Over three years later,

consideration in executive session,
with Chairman Hooper alone absent,

missal of this employee was not JUST.

the necessity of avoiding curtail-

the other hand, citizens owe certain
obligations to their government, and
it should not be within the province
Of any man, association of men, cor

to unduly restrict or abridge the rights
of citizenship. Nowhere in the evil
dence submitted in this case has it
been shown that this employee neglect

perform his work. The board further
expresses its opinion that up to a
point where it can be shown that an

unwarranted infringement upon the
rights of citizenship for any carrier to
promulgate and attempt to enforce
rules such as those which form the
basis of this dispute"
The railroad asked for rehearing,
stating its belief that the full board
had not considered the matter. 1t also
asserted that the decision dealt a
