mings at Cushnoc Farm. That is an
ideal place for a boy to have a good
time and these two 19year- old Bay
State boys saw many sights and had
a royal good time. They visited the
State House and were enamoured
with the State Museum, where they
got their only glimpse of Names
wild life.
Friday morning at o'clock the
boys started back home, intending
to walk of course, but not refusing
rides that are offered them. They
planned to get to Portland, some
how, by Friday night, stop at the
Portland "Y" agaiA and press on to
Melrose, getting there this Saturday
about 6 P. M. The boys are members
of the Melrose High school paper
editorial staff and doubtless CLEANED

Glidden and Davis declare Maine a
royal place to visit any time of the

Englewood Young
Workers Have Big
Debate Thursday

This Thursday will see the high
light of the interesting meetings
which the Englewood branch has been
holding of late, when Comrades
Schactman and Cline hook up in a
debate with two unknown antagonists
who have volunteered to espouse the
cause of capitalist miseducation, or,
in other words, anti-Communism.
The young workers who have been
attending the last eight meetings of
the branch en- masse have already
been brought down to the point where
they hear the Communist viewpoint
expounded without giving vent to vio-
lent demonstrations of resentment. 1t
is certain that all the shots Thursday
will be verbal ones, and there will be
plenty of these. West Englewood is
all agog over this debate, and huge
turnout of its working youth is ex-
pected. A vote Of the audience will
decide the winners Of the argument.
The debate will be held in Prospect
hall, cath st. and Ashland Ave. Ad-
mission will be free.

BIG STRIKE OF
farm HANDS IN
EAST PRUSSIA
University Scabs Little
Aid to Junkers

KOENIGSBERG, East Prussia, June
24.-Over 10000 farm hands are in
volved in strike against the junkers
of eastern Prussia. The German ma
tionalist farm hands, which are other
wise opposed to everything social
istic," have Joined hands with more
radical workers and have downed
their tools. The districts involved in
clude Koenigsberg, Fischausen, Oster.
ode, Sensburg, Stallupoenen and
Roguit.
The junkers have tried on about 400
estates to put into operation the Tech
nical Emergency Aid, an aggregation
of strikebreakers made of university
students. These men are so unused to
the work that their aid is regarded as
a joke.
The junkers are using the most
brutal tactics imaginable. They are
withholding food from the horses and
cattle of the farm hands, and are fore
ing the strikers to leave the estates
where they live on junker-owned
houses with their families.
The workers fear the primitive con-
ditions obtaining before the revolu-
ton, are being reintroduced when
farm hands were virtually bound to
the land.

vine.
Their bodies lie in the grip of the
eternal, fearful SHOWS of Everest,
only a mile and a half from the sum-
NIT, a height never before attained
by man. The rest of the party re-
turned to a base camp safely, and
Colonel Norton, another Of the explor-
ers, telegraphed meagre details of the
tragedy.
That they had faced the Perils OF
Everest's steep slopes knowing full
well the danger was attested to by
Mallory's last message:
1.-The third time we walk up East
Rongbuk glacier will be the last, for
better or worse. We expect no mercy
from Everest"
They received none, and the uncon-
querable peak EMBODIED them in its
restless, swirling SHOWS.
Mallory was particularly distin'
guished as a mountaineer. Irvine was
an Oxford student, only % years old,
who had obtained leave from school
to join the expedition.

HOOPER WILL
NOT BITE THE
HAND THAT FEEDS
Accuses Labor Banker
of Being ''Red"

Ben w. Hooper, agent Of the rail
road corporations on the Railroad
Board and hated by all railroad work
ers as the means of many wage-cuts,
issued a statement yesterday in which
he denounced Warren S. Stone Of the
Engineers union, and d. B. Robert
son, of the Firemen, for their radical
political designs" and defended him
self against charges of prejudice. In
his statement Hooper places himself
definitely against even the mild pro-
posals of La Follettism. which milk
and-water platform he indicates is
Socialism"
You are among the leaders Of a
political movement in which you are
attempting to deliver railway en-
ployes into an alliance with social
ISM" says Hooper's statement, which
is in the form of letter addressed
to the two union heads.
Local railroad men point out that
Stone is very far indeed from the
mildest forms of socialism, his prin-
cipal claim to fame today being his
collaboration with Wall Street thru
the Empire Trust Co., controlling in
terest in which he controls thru the
Engineers bank. He recently declared
he had no quarrel with private
ownership. The controversy between
him and Hooper is largely caused by
Hooper's desire to defend the Board
which has been means of good
livelihood to him for several years.
Inquiries as to the holdings of rail
road stock in the hands of Mr.. Hooper,
that might help to account for his
Jealous defense of private ownership
as against naturalization, failed to
disclose anything at this time.

Three Big Railroads
Admit Merger

ST. PAUL, June 24.-The Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, and Bur
lington railroads have their merger
plans all ready and are awaiting the
formal approval Of the interstate Com
merce Commission, according to
Ralph Budd, president of the Great
Northern.
The antitrust laws of course, ap-
ply only to labor organizations, es-
pecially if they are radical. Harry
Daugherty never saw fit to punish any
Of the big business combines when
he sat in the attorney generals office.
The three railroads and their owned
and controlled subsidiary lines on land
and sea have already been working
in close cooperation. The Northern
Pacific and Great Northern admit in
"Moody's Rating Books" that they
have controlled the Burlington lines
since 1901, and the directors of the
latter road is composed of men from
the other two companies.
Great Northern YVES one of James
]. Hills roads and he foresaw the day
when it's lines would take over the
extensive system now to be embraced.
Great Northern had over 100000
acres of land given it by the govern
ment and 1854 left in 1922. North
ern Pacific had over 100000 acres
still in its possession in 1916 and
sold only few thousand year. The
"poor" railroads have been doing very
nicely on the government land sub
salaries by disposing of their valu-
able real estate and timber holdings.
F. e. Weyerhaeuser, one of the di-
rectors of the Great Northern, is one
Of the biggest timber hogs in the Pa
cifc northwest as well as one of the
bitterest opponents of the Industrial

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June 24.-Pd
lice chief Volmer of Los Angeles ha

police show lower average intelli

applied on orders of Chief Volmer ant
show some amusing figures.
Assistant detective captains aver

and high of IS. Sergeants averaged
twelve years and nine months and on,

All these figures are based on a Sc
ond test which averaged IL poi
higher than the first test. Test
Der one places these police two
one-half years lower in intellige4
than the results here shown.
Chauffeurs and clerks ranked mucl

Socialist party of the island, has noti-
fed the Pan-American Federation here
that Gov. Towner has adopted Iglesi-
as suggestion for amendment of the

moning the legislature in special ses-
sion. Because the chiefs Of the Re-

Unionist party in a Porto Rican ALI
ance, to defeat the Socialists in the
elections this year, Gov. Towner re-
commends that the Socialists, as the
third party, be given representation
on all election boards. The existing
law gives these boards exclusively to
the two major parties. These are now
working together. Wholesale frauds
are anticipated by Iglesias at the

The German miners have entered

Germany. Assistance must be rem
dered without delay. Especially
great is the responsibility of the
