bell, this amt no airship,' responds
the wife, blithely.
We coulda gone down to Maiden
Rack, but you havta go tic DGrmAd to
get a good road to Alma, so we went
tat way. Here you coast down onto
the river level, alongside monster
cliffs, with gigantic rocks, like
castles high up on top, so the guide
book says. "We1l watch for EN-

There's one" cries the wife,
right straight ahead"
Zone what ?" says I. "Why, an

Ion in the tank, and Wen need lots
to get outta this hole again. smiles
she, sweetly.
Main street in Alma is on the level,
and the residence section is upstairs.
Cochrane is pretty, too. It's right
near Buffalo City, which is claimed
(by Alma and Corchrane people) to
be the toughest place along the
river. 1t looks as though it would
be a tough job to wake anybuddy up
there.
The wife let a shrek outta her
that near woke all those places tho,
and when | got the car stopped to
find out how many casualties she
explained that we near ran over a
rattle snake mile or so back and
she jest remembered having read
of one curling around the spokes of
a buggy and getting into the seat
that way.
She shut all the windows, so it
was only about 200 degrees fairand-
hot in the car, and we hit over to
Mondovi and back home by way Of
Eau Claire.
It's a beautiful trip, as described

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-The de-
posing of Secretary Treasurer James
B. MacLachlan and other officials of
District 26 and their denunciation by
John L. Lewis while they were fight
ing for the removal of troops from
the district is one of the chief rea-

The high-handed methods used by
the Lewis machine to prevent thoro
consideration and favorable action on
the appeal of District &c has aroused
new interest in the case and the mat

OCRADY TO Be.
BRITISH RUSS
AMBASSADOR
j. H. Thomas Quits As Rail
Union Secretary

LONDON.-The Labor Par
ty ministry is now in charge of
the affairs of the British En-
pire with Ramsay Macdonald
doubling in the offices of pre-
miers and secretary for foreign
affairs.
Two cabinet appointments
have occasioned surprise. One
is the naming Of Lord Chelms-
ford, former viceroy of India,
as first lord of the admiralty
and the other is the appoint
ment of John Wheatley, gener-
ally considered as belonging to the
left wing of the Labor Party, as
minister of health. Wheatley came
from the Clydeside and it is from
this well-organized industrial section
that the most trouble for the gov
eminent is looked for. Housing is a
burning question in the Scottish in
dustrial district and with this the
minister of health will deal. On the
question Of unemployment the min
lister of health will also exercise a
great influence and it is this domestic
matter that will first demand the at
1serti0ig Of tie Labor Party ministry.
Resignation Of Cecil.
One Of the first Of number of
pressing foreign affairs demanding
MacDonald's attention was to receive
the resignation of Lord Robert Cecil
as British representative on the
League of Nations council.
Cecil will be succeeded by Loro
Parmoor, president Of the council In
MacDonald's cabinet, and it is under
stood he and the prime minister will
press vigorously for early inclusion
of both Russia and Germany in the
League of Nations.
Russ Recognition Up.
Other problems accommodating for
MacDonald's attention are recogni-
ton of Russia, ratification of the
Lausanne treaty and the Tangier con-
vention, negotiations regarding the
Mosul oil fields and the Egyptian
dispute, to say nothing of the Anglo
French dispute about occupation of
German territory and over repara-
tions.
1t is considered unlikely that Mac
Donald will be required to devote
much attention to the rail strike, al
tho there was no break in the dead
lock today and ]. Bromley, leader of
the engineers and firemen, who went
out Sunday midnight, said the strik-
ers position was stronger than ever.
O'Grady for Ambassador.
a There seems to be no doubt in the
public minds here that full recogni-
ton to Soviet Russia will be had as
soon as the government can get thru
the routine work occasioned by a
change Of ministries. AS ambassador
to Russia the name most mentioned
is that of James O'Grady. He is
known to be sympathetic to the
Soviet Republic and is well-informed
on Russian affairs having made two
visits there, in 1917 and 1922. He
is also the author of book on Rus
STA and took an active part in OPP
posing British Intervention in the
internal affairs Of the Soviet.
Strike Situation Serious.
The railroad strike situation con-
tinues serious. Tom Shaw, new min
lister Of labor, has had long con-

Many of the delegates insisted on
walking up to the platform and speak
ing from that vantage point. Prac-
tically every speaker denounced
Lewis for his action against the Nova
Scotia miners and imprisoned Jim
McLachlan.
The defeat of the machine came on
motion of the resolutions commit
tee to non-concur with Resolution 80,
demanding that all resolutions sent in
by local unions be read as sent in
and that the delegate representing
the local signing the resolution be
allowed to explain his resolution.
Machine Over-Reaehes ItseIf.
Flushed with its victory of the pre-
vious day, the committee chairman
lonce or twice referred to the opposi-
ton from the floor as propaganda.
This was bitterly resented and
Thomas Kennedy, president of Dis
trict 9 and Martin Flysik of District
10, were howled down for their in
situations against the delegates.
FlentY OF OteCusaion.
The administration allowed plenty
of time to discuss this minor ques-
ton and as was pointed out by Free
man Thompson, this was in striking
contrast to yesterdays method of
sitting debate.
Every delegate who took the floor
with the exception of Lee Hall, presi-
dent of District 6, spoke but little
on the resolution, bubt devoted most
of his time to rebuking the actions
of the evening before.
Lewis Grip Slips.
Delegate Morgan of Nordegg, Can
ada, denounced Lewis for refusing
to allow McLachlan's friends to de-
fend him. Lawrence Lamb, of Spring
field, established a precedent for the
rank and file by being the first to
take the platform.
This move was greeted with cheers.
Lewis was losing his hegemony over
the convention. Delegates William
Deck, J. J. Watt and Thomas Parry
also opposed the committee report.
0lamee Lewis Tor lrouDio.
Thomas Koran, of Locustdale, Pa,
an anthracite miner, said that the
whole trouble at this session could
be laid to the action Of Lewis in re-
fusing the delegates from Nova SEQ
tia chance to be heard.
He declared that the resolutions
committee should be elected from the
floor of the convention and not ap-
pointed by the machine. He was ap-
plauded even by some Of the Lewis
messenger boys.
Even Green Fails.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
rush Of feeling against, even Secre-
tary William Green, the "Pinch-hit-
ter" of the administration forces TAX
I ing the floor; the miners, however,
were on the cleanup and they vented
wrath for the crucifxion of the Nova
Scotia miners on the resolution COM
mittee.
The committee report was defeated
overwhelmingly and the original reso-
luton carried.
Progressive Committeeman Unseated.
At the opening Of the convention
today Joseph Chicolini, Of Pennsyl-
vania, was unseated for membership
In the Progressive Miners Interna-
tional Committee.
A resolution calling for the af,ilia-
ton Of the miners with the railroad
workers brought out the information
that attemps on the part Of the
Unied Mine Workers TO arrange such
an agreement had beben unvailing be-
