Workhouse De Luxe Popular.

In Ireland the Omagh workhoue Is
a really popular place and the reason
is that years ago a regulation was
made allowing each prisoner three
glasses of whisky a day. Recently
woman members of the board of

rious. and while the male members of
the board will not change the old or

DEALING WITH

By John P. Medbury.

years that the world is sur
~ rounded by nothing and now
they are trying to take pictures
Of it.

like on paper.
.ss, "A scientists wife caught her
/ husband going into his laboratory
the other day with a handful of
space:
He said he wanted to examine
Il with magnifying glass.
r..s He figured that If he took moth
ing and put 1t under powerful
J. lens he'd be able to see it better.
Just then his wife bumped into
him and he dropped this nothing
on the floor.
That was two weeks ago and
he's still looking for it.
as If space is made of something

If the atoms don't fracture his

ENGINEERS HOLD
4TH CONVENTION
IN CLEVELAND
Union Has Holdings in
Nine Banks
By ALBERT Il. COYLE

(staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
CLEVELAND, June 4.-Ninety
thousand locomotive engineers are rep
resented by the Ais delegates meeting
in Cleveland as the fourth triennial
convention of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers. Grand Chief
Warren s. Stone explained to the dele
gates, who came from every state and
from the provinces Of Canada, that
the brotherhood had grown remark
ably in power and influence since the
1921 convention. He recommends the
extension of the widow pension sys-
tenn to protect the wives of all mem
bers instead of just those who have
heretofore belonged to the brother
hoods pension association. Greater
development of banking and invest
ment enterprise is also urged.
Valuable holdings in nine great
banks, substantial union treasury
balance and two vast investment com
panies help to put the brotherhood in
the strongest financial position in its
60 years, Gen. Sec Treas. William B.
Premier reports.
The convention is getting down to
business Immediately. Committees
on resolutions, pensions and the Chi
cago joint agreement are reporting.
The B. of L. E. was founded under
its present name at the Indianapolis
convention of Aug. II, 1854, just so
years ago. Delegates of "a divis-

his part in it, Coolidge is nominated.
The Big Bourgeoisie defends its
own.
The Little Bourgeoisie whines, hest
tates, timidly attacks, and retreats, to
wait for another class to lead.
The working class, which, like the
Big Bourgeoisie, is a class that can
fight, which has a separate class des-
tiny OF its own. and the impoverished
farmer class, which is the natural ally
OF the working class--these are not
organized, they have no representa-
tives, no voice. They are--and espec-
tally they have been in the past
hazy, un-class-conscious and following
the lead Of the spineless. fghtless,
hopeless middle class. Having no
mass political party of their own, they
are a class without a vote-a class
with only the privilege of voting for
other classes.
