other parts Of the water circula-
tion system. The one great draw
back to use OF alcohol is that 1T

has to be replaced. Glycerine does
not have this drawback, but is
more expensive.
Among the other anti-freeze solu-
tions investigated were calcium
chloride, honey. glucose. kerosene
and several patent anti-freeZe mix
lures. Use of kerosene is not rec
commended because it may lead
to serious overheating. Calcium
chloride, with q decided corrosive
action, is ltable to cause short cir
cults If 1t gets on the ignition
wires or spark plugs. Honey and
glucose were found unsatisfactory
in that high percentage solution
is required to prevent freezing and
such solutions flow very slowly.
There is also danger of sugar de-
Dosits in the cooling system.

British Labor.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, November 18.-The qucs-
tion of reinstating former ministers
of the Labor government in the po-
sitions they formerly held in the
trade unions has led to ono of the
strangest strikes in the history of
the trade union movement Nearly
80 officers. organizers and officials of
the Transport Workers Union have
gone on strike as protest against
the action of the unions executive
in declining 10 reinstate Harry c. H
Gosling president of the union, q
position he held before he became
minister of transport in the late
government
The plea of the executive is that
when the office of president became
vacant, on Mr.. Gosling's entering the
government, it had been decided to
abolish 1t on the grounds of econ
omy. This means that Mr.. Gosling,
who now is i'll. loses his govern
mental salary of $4,000 a year and
gets no compensation, as the other
ministers do, by resuming his former
position.
Hint Personal Causes,
Much secrecy is being observed.
out supporters of GosIing hint that
personal reasons have actuated the
executive and insinuate that it is the
intention Of the executive to place
Ernest Bevin, secretary of the union,
in complete control.
Secretary Bevin said late tonight
that the council had discussed the
question and had sent a communica-
ton to Mr.. Gosling which would be
satisfactory to him. The secretary re-
fused details, but the labor corre-
spondents of the London papers, in
cluding the laborite Daily Herald un-
derstand that the communication in
vited Mr.. Gosling to resume the presi-
dency 1t is thought therefore that
the offended officials will withdraw
their designations and that the in
cident is over.

FARMER FACES MURDER CHARGE

H Z D S 0 Ma warrant charging
first degree murder was served Friday
on Earl A. Brandt, 81, town of Spring
field farmer, arrested Thursday night
after he had confessed shooting and
killing his neighbor, Lee Kerr, co. Is
suance of the warrant followed an in
vestigation by w. R. Kirk, district at
torney of st. Croix county.
The shooting followed a quarrel
which developed Thursday while the
two men were working with silo
filling crew at the home of neighbor,
near Wilson. Despite their quarrel,
the two worked together inside the
silo until supper time, after which
each went to his own farm to take
care of work there.
Gives Self Up
About 9 p. M, according to Brandt,
he took shotgun and went to Kerr's
home. He saw Kerr holding his little
grandchild, and waited until the vic
tim went into his own room and sat
down in a chair to remove his shoes.
Brandt then fired, the charge from
both barrels striking his victim in the
head and killing Kerr instantly.
From the Kerr home, Brandt went
10 the 10TH OIL Sam swanson, super
visor for the town of Springfield, to
whom he told the story of the shoot
ing Swanson called Sheriff Con
O'Brien, who arrived with Brandt at
the county Jail here shortly after mid
night.
Expects Life i'm Stripes
Brandt displayed no emotion Friday
when he was formally accused of the
murder of his neighbor. He expects
ito spend the rest of his life in
stripes" he remarked to Sheriff
O'Brien.
The quarrel between the two men,
neighbors say, was probably the out
come of a case which arose several
years ago, when one of Kerr's sons
was arrested on charges brought by a
young girl.
Brandt, who has always borne a
good reputation, according to neigh
bors, was seriously injured two years
ago when he fell 20 feet from the
caves of barn on which he was work
ing. He is married and has two chill
dren. Kerr is survived by his widow
who was visiting in Iowa at the time
of the tragedy, and by two daughters
and two sons.
