question. Glen c. Leach, of
the Bureau of Fisheries, in his
paper, Culture of Rainbow and
Brook Trout In Ponds" under
the head, Water SuppIy-VOIume,
Quality and Temperature, says:
The first and most important
requisite in such an undertaking
is the water supply. It should be
derived from springs or a spring
fed brook; it must be of suitable
volume and temperature, and its
source must be so located that a
constant gravity flow into the pro-
posed pond is assured.
Ponds used for watering of farm
animals should not be stocked with
trout, unless the stock can be con-
fined to a certain portion of the
pond by a fence, preferably near
the outlet, as successful results
can not be expected where the
water is liable to become rolled or
contaminated.
be used as q source of supply for
ice. The best results may be ex.
pected If the source of water is
spring or lake, and if from the
latter the water should be taken
from below the surface in order to
afford a more even temperature.
Alakli water from forests showing
discoloration and traces of tannin
are not suitable.
Under ordinary conditions the
rainbow trout, because OF Its abl-
ity to Withstand a higher temper
ature and more sluggish water
circulation, will yield better re-
suits in ponds than the brook
trout. The brook trout thrives
best in a swift current fed by
cold springs, and attainS its maxi.
mum excellence in streams.
Under ordinary conditions neither
the rainbow nor the brook trout
will mature earlier than the third
year.
At three years old and thereafter
the average rainbow trout Will
WELD from 1000 to 1900 eggs.
Brook trout yield from 500 to 2,oOO
eggs.
Fish Matched from a single lot
of eggs frequently show SUCH

age of one year some individuals

the Communist speaker and failed to
answer the questions put to him. Ad-
hitting the futility of the platform of
LaFollette, he pleaded that I'VE must

said: 1.-THE socialist party had at last
applied common sense to its politics
and that it should have taken the
present stand years ago and gone
along with the reform movements"
In his concluding remarks Vein

pointed out again that movements, no
matter who supports them, must be
analysed from the point of view where
they are going and whether they are
in the interest of the working class,
and he further declared that the La
Toilette movement was taking the
working class off the path of indie
pendent working class political action
onto the path which leads into the
WILDERNESS Of capitalist politics.
1.-THE socialist party, in adopting the
so-called policy of common sense was
acting the same as the old reactionary

that not only did millionaires back

Of the LaFollette campaign had as its
leading members the drug millionaire

While the miners in all parts of the
state had grievances which they
wanted redressed it was the brutal
treatment Of the Belleville delegates

discomfort that was smouldering in
the miners ranks.

PEABODY COAL
BOSS PAID TO
SLUG Miners
Harrington and Opera
tors Blacklist Rebels
BY T. J. O'FLAHERTY.
ARTICLE ElaVan.l

After the brutal smuggling OF
the ColIinsviIIe delegation by the
notorious Jack" Brown, then
boss for the Peabody Coal COM
pany at Andrew, Illinois, and at
the present time a Peabody boss
at Klncaid, who was assisted by
Edward Maher and William
Wall, the latter two now run
ming for the jobs of legal inves-
tigators, now elective, but until
the last convention appointive,
the movement to organize the
miners for the purpose of call
ing a special convention and kill
the automatic fine clause, grew
rapidly.
The state policy committee issued
call for statewide strike to be
effective until their demands were
met by the operators. Harrington
having refused to accede to the de.
mand of the rank and file for con-
vention, the policy committee issued
call for special district conven-
ton to be held in Springfield, Illinois,
Tuesday, August 10, 1919.
Convention Call
The call reads:
"Belleville, ILL.,, Aug. 18th, 1919.
1--WE the Policy Committee Of the
various local unions in District ~,

the wage agreement having been ig-
nored in a demand for a Special Con.

workers, the capitalist offensive and
the open shop drive resulting in low
wages and long hours, Weinstone
showed that for the two old parties
and their Representatives that spoke
before him these issues did not at all
exist, and that LaFollette's platform
was entirely futile and impotent and
would not solve single one Of these
pressing problems of the working
class. "LaFollette," he dclared like
the two old parties, is a stauneh sup
porter Of the present system Of priv
ate property" Referring to the for
mer platforms of the socialist party
and the declaration Of their chief
spokesman, Morris Hilquit, Weinstone
challenged Solomon who was to fol-
low him, to explain on the basis of
socialist doctrines, why LaFollette
should get the support of the labor
party. He particularly called upon
Solomon to state whether he believed
in the platform of LaFollette which
was movement back to 1776-a re-
turn to the old individualistic COM
petitiye system of production with its
miserable wage for the workers, long
hours and sweat shop conditions a
period in which labor was weak and
poorly organized.
Macdonald Serves Capitalist Class
Discussing the Macdonald govern.
ment whom the socialists support,
Weinstone pointed out that MacDon-
aid was continuing the policy of the
capitalist politicians in enslaving the
colonial workers, in using airplanes
and bombs against the natives of
Egypt and Irak, in bringing into ex-
istence the Dawes plan which was a
policy of continuing the war against
Germany with economic means, and
which would lead to another world
war in which America would play a
leading part.
Wisconsin A Model OF Capitalist Rule
Taking up Wisconsin, the speaker
showed that as far as the working
class was concerned this state which
has been bossed by LaFollette, was
run in the interests of the capitalist
class in the same manner as in every
other state of the union and that
there the big trusts rule the workers
as they do generally in the United
States. He ended his speech with an
appeal for the support of William z.
Foster as the candidate on the only
ticket which stands upon the platform
exclusively devoted to the interest OF
the toiling masses of this country.

under which they worked is shown

can. As you know, we have the Moon
ey headquarters in Peoria and we
did all we possibly could to get Moon
ey free, because we were informed
by our own officers that Mooney was
innocent. We felt that man was in
nocent and that he had no business in
Jail; therefore we created a Mooney
Defense League in Peoria. 1t was
called the headquarters of the Mooney
Defense League.
When we came out on strike on
July 4th the sentiment Of the officers
was against us, and as a consequences
we were fined. We did not care. so
much about being fined, but we
wanted it done in legitimate way.
We were under the impression that
we had no agreement at that time.
The International Convention after
wards showed that we were right and
that we had no agreement. When
the Belleville' fellows came up here
there was discomfort in the Peoria
field and it was easy to get them in
line. We were told in the Peoria
meeting that was held on Sunday that
the delegation from Belleville had
gone to Springfield and tried to get
an interview with the district officers.
Farrinoton's Statement
1--WE were told that they were slug
ged, beaten up. and that the state
ment was made by the president that
Belleville was too small to dictate to
the state of Illinois. We take it that
if Belleville had enough members to
call for a special meeting they had
that right. At least they had a right
to interview the president, and if they
could not get satisfaction from him
they had a right to call special con-
vention.
1--WE contended that we had no con-
tract, and on that account the Peoria
fellows were in favor of having a con
vention. :"
Thus Farrington's brutal tactics as
much as the resentment against the
automatic fine clause was responsible
for the strike involving $4,000 men
in defiance of the threats from Far.
rington's Office. The reactionary Off.
cials were not able to handle the rank
and file even with the aid of their
gunner, so the ocal operators and the
government, was called in to save
them.
Gunner Turned Loose
Deputy sheriffs were appointed
from the ranks of the miners who re-
manned loyal to harrington. Gunmen
and criminals of all descriptions were
organize to terrorize the strikers,
charters were revoked and the coal
operators on Farrington's suggestion
issued orders to the strikers that un-
less they returned to work their jobs
would be forfeited. Here were the
bosses and the government working
hand in hand with strikebreaker Far
rington.
Harrington henchmen were ordered

The coal operators got busy and hun

Then John l.. Lewis came to the
assistance Of harrington. According
to the International Constitution of
the United Mine Workers Of America
the international President only has
the right to revoke the charters OF
districts, sub-districts and locals, but
Lewis delegated this right to Far
rington in the state Of Illinois with
the result that the latter revoked the
charters Of "a locals and made an
agreement with the coal operators
that none of these who took leading
part in the insurgent movement
should be employed in the mines. To
use Farrington's own words: at is
our understanding that the operators
will not pick the ringleaders in the
strike, which has crippled the mines
