 Meeting With Frost
Dan Smith, Discreelited Member of Switchmen's Union, Heads One Travelling Group

Headed by Dan c. Smith, discredited member of the Switchmen's Union, who participated in President Coolidge's La Dor Day party at the WlEte House, a group of alleged trade-unionists is tour ing the western states advocating the election of Coolidge.
 According to information reaching Labor, the minimum wage paid to the men who are participating in this movement is $11, together with $1l for hotel expenses and an additional allow ance for railroad tickets and Pullman berths.
 Smiths party is receiving chilly re- ception from trades-unionists evl'y- where, but the Coolidge papers are giv- ing them a great deal of publicity in the form of interviews.
 Similar groups are operating III oth- CT sections. All are on the payroll of the Republican national committee. In no instance are the men authorized to speak for reputable labor organizations.

RAIL BOARD GOES TO WILKINSON FOR
 A COURT MANDATE
Suit Is Brought to Compel Robertson and Mcclure to Obey Hooper's
 Orders.

i Chicago, Oct 18-As forecast III this correspondence two weeks ago, the ] Railroad Labor Board has brought suit in the United States District Court here against D. B, Robertson, president of | the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
 men and Enginemen, and John Mcclure general chairman on the Chicago & l North Western railroad for the Bro therhood of Locomotive Engineers, to compel these labor officials to appear be- l fore the board and testify.
 Edwin A. Olson and Robert N Gold ing, assistants to the attorney general, and Weymouth Kirkland of Chicago, an attorney especially employed By Ben naturally filed the petition before Judge iJ. H. Wilkerson, who issued the in famous Daugherty injunction against the railroad shopmen
 The board IS seeking to obtain court order requiring Robertson and Mcclure to appear and testify in the western railroad wage case, wherein the board elected to assume jurisdiction contrary to the terms of the Transpor- tation Act, as charged by officials of the brotherhood Failing to do so, 1t is the program of Mr. Hooper and his as- sociates to have the labor chieftains sent to jail for contempt of court.
 Robertson and McGurie have twice declined to comply with mandate for their appearance. On the first occasion subpoenas were issued for them and for l01 general chairnen of the two bro therhoods on western roads None ap- peared on the date set by the board for la hearing"
 In reply to the petition filed in Judge Wilkerson's court on September z9, Donald R. Richberg, attorney for the railroad brotherhoods, issued state ment in which he said that the petition and declarations filed by attorneys for the board "do not accord with our conceptions of the facts" and added: s'We will therefore not move for dis missal. as such motion would entail acquiescence with the statement of fact but will answer, setting forth our yer sion of the facts"
 It was thus indicated that MT. Rich berg will seek to prove to the court that the assumption of jurisdiction by the board in the western wage controversy was unjustihed.
 Judge Wilkerson set Monday, October 20, as the date for attorneys on both sides to appear in his court and present argument for and against the petition of the Railroad Labor Board
 This is the first instance in which the power of the board to compel witnesses to appear and testify has been brought directly into court More than year ago. in the Pennsylvania railroad case, where the board sought to enforce one of its decisions, the United States Su- preme Court ruled that the board, under Esch law, could act only in "an advisory capacity"

LONGSHOREMEN QUIT DRINKING BEER AND
 TAKE TO MILK DIET

Prohibition may be said to be mak- ing some progress out here. Milk-the plain, unadulterated, lacteal fuid-has invaded the strongest stronghold and put to rout San Francisco's most popu- lar pre-Volstead beverage, steam beer. Six thousand husky 1ongshore-
 men of San Francisco picturesque elm barCadero now are consuming 5,oOO quarts of milk daily with their noon day lunches.
 The full report of such a news item, however, cannot be fully comprehended
 without a word about steam" For more than a score of years before the advent of prohibition the mere men
 ton of the name of "the city that knows how was almost synonymous with foam biting schooners of San Francisco steam beer.
 Like the once famous Milwaukee product, San Franciscos favorite brand of beer might also be said to have made 1t famous. No other city boasted 1t, at least not until San Francisco created the demand, and nowhere else was it so good. Almost everybody drank steam-bankers, business men, truck drivers, Van Ness avenue society queens, humble wash ladies.
 But of all the places i'll San Fran cisco where steam was consumed, there was no place that vied in quantity con- sumption with the embarcadero. Every day, wide-wheeled brewery wagons, drawn by sleek horses which the brew CTS refused to supplant with the more efficient auto truck, used to deliver 300 filled kegs to waterfront saloons Popu- lar gossip was that the ordinary capac- ity of each grimy, sweating longshore- man was two gallons daily-with dou- ble cargoes taken aboard each Saturday night and Sabbath holiday.
 Evidence that this stronghold of steam has taken the count before such an uninspiring kickless beverage as milk is contained in a service survey just completed here by an association of San Francisco milk dealers. The milk vendors, not unmindful of the once vaunted popularity of steam on the water front ,are very proud Of the inroads which have been made upon 1t by their own favorite beverage.
 Statistics gathered by the milkmen show, however, that steam was not abandoned by, nor did it depart from the local waterfront spontaneously with the advent of Volsteadisn. For two years, it seems, the stevedores had their daily steam regardless of the pro hibition law
 Then milk, so the statistical figures show, commenced to make its inroads. Now, the milkmen's records show, there are $500 standing orders for 580 quart bottles of milk to be delivered to $500 lunching steyedores sharply at noon The other 200 of the estimated 6,OO0 stevedores who labor daily on the waterfront are supposed to be sticking to steam.
 The milk diet statistics of the long shoremen also bring to light another fact regarding prohibitions progress. of 137 saloons which half dozen years ago graced the embarca- dero, there remain less than 20-all, of course, "soft drink parlors." The pre- sumption is that these 20 now divide up the steam beer business of the 200 who haven't yet taken to milk.

Old Ron,any Patteran
Thing of the Past

Romany patteran is a gypsy phrase
that Is seen only occasionally in print.
Kipling, Jack London and few other
signs or trails left by gypsies. While
the phrase Is used only occasionally,
1t is used probably more In the United
States where gypsies are abandoning
their red wardos for speedier though
less romantic automobiles.
Patteran, patrln, and patten are
three words In Romanes or the gypsy
language, which signify the signs
which one gypsy leaves In the road to
show the route he has taken to friends
who are following. The sign, or pat
teran, is usually found at the forks of
n road. 1t may be II handful of grass
or leaves thrown down at the head of
a road, a bit of coored cloth tied to a
fence, cross mark on the ground, or
u branch of a tree stuck in the ground
by the roadside. However, the true
patteran is handful of leaves; for the
word in the gypsy language means the
leaf of tree.
The use of patteran is understood.
but not extensively practiced by gyp-
sizes. American gypsies probably use
1t less than those of some other coun-
tries. Highways and automobiles make
the leaving of trail lmpracticable.
and the ROmany patteran Is even now
spoken of by modern gypsies MS a
method used by the puro folkies drey
the pur6 cheeros; that Is, the old peo'
pie In the old dnys.-George Gatlin In

ice in December? Would you feel the

for my idea of Christmas is not snow
