on the coming Of a new labor supply

count of failure of some smaller
manufacturers to abide by the

Union officials charged that
these employers were encour-
aging the sweatshop by sending
work into private homes. Fifty
shops were affected by the
walkout.
Strike Ends Soon.
The end of the strike is in sight,
according. to Jack Blume, manager,
local joint board. The strike has been
marked by rough work on the part
of Boston police who put into effect
new ordinance designed for strike
use legalizing the arrest of persons
obstructing free foot passage" on
the sidewalks. Several small riots
occurred as police interfered with
pickets and crowds of orderly sym
pathizers. Twenty-six men and two
women strikers were arrested by the
police and one man was stabbed.
Blame Cops for Violence.
Union officials place the blame for
violence on the shoulders of the po-

ever since the beginning of the strike

Fannon Denies Spies Charge.
Fannon replied that Of course they
didn't use spies; that if spying meant
bringing capital and labor together by
the innocent Sherman lamentations
they would admit it, but not in the
popularity accepted sense of the word,
for Sherman operatives were concili-
ators and carriers of light and truth.
Dunn Challenges Fahnon.
Finally, when Fannon had success
fully parried several of the business
men, Robert W. Dunn charged him
with deliberately misleading the audi
ence. Dunn, who has written book
on industrial espionage, in collabora-
ton with Sidney Howard, charged the
Sherman Service specifically with
strikebreaking, disruption of labor
unions, use of gunner and of the
roughneck type of operator rather
than the trained angel of Cancellation
described in the Sherman advertising
booklet.
He also charged them with being
the same sort of agency as the Corpo-
rations Auxiliary, the Bureau of In
dustrial Relations in which Jim
Cronin, the Philadelphia molders'
union official, was recently exposed,
and score of other union-breaking,
withdrawing agencies wearing SINH
arly innocent titles.
Reads Sherman Record.
Dunn read from the report of the
Interchurch World Report on the
steel strike, showing the instructions
by the Sherman to its operatives to
stir up feeling between nationalities
and to resort to acts of violence, and
recalled how the Sherman had been
Indicted in Chicago for these crimes.
He pointed out that their work was

well known in the Lawrence strike of
1919, in the Kirschbaum strike in
Philadelphia against the Amalgamat-
ed Clothing Workers and in dozens of
other labor conflicts.
Fannon first tried to brush the mat
ter lightly aside by saying he had
heard of such charges against the
Sherman when it was the Sherman
detective agency, but never since It
became an Industrial engineering and
coordination bureau" Dunn replied
that all the acts he had cited were
performed since that name was
changed in 1918.
Spies "Thoroly Criminal"
Roger Babson, realizing the serious
ness Of the charge, asked Fannon to
tell them plainly if the Sherman ever
used what were known in the labor
movement as spies. Babson termed
the use of spies ''thoroly criminal"
Fannon then began to crawl, say
ing he had only been with the firm IA
months, and that Mr.. Sherman would
be glad to appear and refute the
charges.
1t was agreed that Fannon should
produce Sherman at the round table
discussion next morning. Dunn was
asked to come and present his
charges.
Spies Back Down.
Next morning at the conference the
business men found no Fannon, no
Sherman. Instead a messenger with
letter from the agency charging that
"the radical elements" present at the
previous days session had insulted
Fannon; that the Sherman Service
was not on trial and that it would not

Another and more serious complica-

The Soviet government in sending

capitalist governments has been to
send ministers instead of ambas-

Miner MURDER

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
DOWELL, ILL.,, August 20.-
While on his way to the coal
company's office here, a miner
whose name is not known, was
cold-bloodedIy shot down in the
middle of the road by two bull
lets fired in quick succession.
Leaves Pregnant Wife.
The miner was on his way to
get the miserable pay check
that is now the lot of the coal
digger when he was fired on.
Ten minutes later he died in the
arms Of his wife, surrounded
by friends. He leaves a preg-
nant wife and two little girls.
The murderer was caught with his
gun in his hands and he is in Jail
now, awaiting trial. The workers
here would not, however, be sur
prised to learn that the killer is to be
released since his father killed a
man not SO long ago and was freed
in a few hours.
K. K. K. Suspected.
1t is rumored that the crime was
instigated by the Ku Klux Khan
which is playing it's double game of
appealing to the miners to join and
prosecuting those who are wise to
their purpose.

is to find the Socialist party. If Con

be impelled so far to the Right that
they cannot see Karl Marx thru the
most powerful telescope. We note
that Mr.. Macdonald has already re-
ported a plump naval bill which over
a score of the pacifist comrades from
the Clyde and other reddish districts
could not bring themselves to vote for.
He is finding that his job is the pre-

 It is a mistake to suppose that our Northeastern States are exempt from tornadoes. New Jersey is rather subject to such whirling storms, and so also are Maryland and Massachusetts. No sec tion of the country can be regarded as immune, though a mountain range to the west serves as an effective protection for any district thus defended. In that respect the cities of New York, Philadel- phia and Boston are fortunate, being walled against cyclone twisters by the Orange Mountains, the Blue Ridge and the Berkshire Hills. Tornadees never come from the East.
 THE only obstacle that will break the l force of a tornado is mountain range. When the funnel-shaped monster strikes mountain ridge, it cannot go through it, and is defected upward, the currests that compose it becoming sep arated and finishing their struggle far above the earth, wbere they can do no harm.
 When the cold air from above invades the warm air beneath on hot and sultry day it produces a sudden condensation of moisture which causes electric dis charges of great violence. Thus it comes about that one of the most appalling phenomena in connection with tornado is of this character. On the evening when the great funnel cloud tore its way through St. Louis the electrical display was of extraordinary brilliance, the whole sky to the north and west being a continuous blaze, against which vivid forked flashes of red, purple and blue appeared. All the street lights went out, leaving the town in darkness which was illuminated only by lightning and huge balls of electric fire playing about the streets.
 On the following day tornado struck Pennsylvania, starting in the neighbor- hood of Columbia at 1:30 P. M. Describ- ing it, an eyewitness said: q beheld black cloud of funnel shape that seemed about to leap into the river. Then began the most appalling spectacle have ever seen. Whirlins round and round with whirring noise, it shot upward, and be-
