Illinois. Resents
 Secret Meeting of
 Law Enforcement
By Staff Correspondent, International
 Labor News Service

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Widespread re- sentiment in Illinois over the action of the National Committee of One Thou sand for Law Enforcement, in presum- ing to take charge>of the crime situa- tion in Chicago, may cause legislative investigation.
 The formation of a local branch of the committee at a secret meeting hid at the Chicago Club and to which at tendance by reporters was not per mitted has aroused a strong suspicion that there IS sinister purpose behind the movement. It Is feared that the capitalists of the east are endeavoring to create diversion to cover up some ulterior motive in the naturei of an assault on the interests of the common people.
 The Committee of One Thousand was recently organized under the leadership of John D. Rockefeller, IT,, Ebert Fl. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation, and othr conspicuous New York capi- talists. Representatives of the commit tee were breakfast guests of President Coolidge at Washington shortly after ward. Clifford Barnes heads the Chi cago branch.
 The charge by International Labor News Service that one of the chief underlying causes of the crime situa- tion in Chicago Is the presence in the community of thousands upon thaus- ands of imported strike breakers brought here. by the big business and financial interests during the course of many years of industrial warfare, has aroused great interest, and if there is a legislative investigation this angle of the situation is likely to be inquired into.

Federated Press to
 Sell Printing Plant
 and Curtail Service
By Staff Correspondent, International
 Labor News Service.


 Chicago, Jan. 31.-The Federated Press will discontinue the operation of its printing plant at 511 North Peoria street, Chicago, with the beginning of February. The typesetting machinery and other printing equipment IS up for sale at a greatly reduced price. The Federated Press will, it is learned, en- deavor to continue its struggle for ex- stence without the printing plant and will issue curtai1ed press service in mimeograph fornH
 The reason assigned for the failure of the Federated Press is the suspen- soin of publication of a large number of alleged labor papers known to have had Communist tendencies during the last year or so. The revenue from clients was cut down severely on ac count of these suspensions.
 w z. Foster has been the dominant factor in the Federated Press and will continue to exercise control.
 "The Federated Press upon it's own record can not hope to have and should not have the support of trade union publications or of trade union organ izations.

MONEY FOR
 DIVIDENDS BUT NOT
 FOR UNION JOINERS

"The Carpenter" official organ of. the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, carries the following no- tice in full page box in each issue:
 That the open shop is now favored by the Stanley Manufacturing Com pany of New Bri tain, Conn, who manu facture number of carpenters tools, known as the Stanley tools, was declaration recently made by MT. Stan ley, Jr, with Representative Charles N. Kimball and Business Agent McGrath at the plant of the company. This con cern is constructing large building at New Britain. The contractor is the Aberthew Company of Boston. Non union carpenters were found on the job. On complaint of, Messrs. Kimball and McGrath, as representatives of our organization, MT Stanley arranged the conference, and to their astonishment made the above declaration"
 The Boston News Bureau a leading nfancial publication, publishes the fol- lowing:
 Directors of Stanley Works, New Britain, Conn.,, voted to recommend to stockholders that common stock be in creased from $o,5O0,OO0 to $1O,4OO,OO0, difference to be distributed in form of a stock dividend. Also voted to retire 25 per cent. of the preferred stock, bringing it down to $4,0O0,000"
 It appears that this concern, which refuses to negotiate an agreement with union that is fighting for American standards of living has more than s. 100000 to pass to it's stockholders in the form of a gift.

 "The records of the Bureau of Work mems Compensation during the month of December show that 126 death claims were filed at the five district offices.

ypo Union Opposes Teaching of Printing
 In State Prisons

 Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-The ex- ecutive council of the International Typographical Union at a meeting here, adopted resolution of protest against the proposed plan of extending the teaching of printing in state penal institutions over the country. It was explained that the international union had no objections to a printing course in boys reform schools, but would fight the attempt to teach the trade to adults in prison because such men would not measure up to the high standard de- sired in the trade and further because in terms of two years men would not learn the trade and would not be will ing to meet apprenticeship require ments after their release from prison.

Election Result
 Mandate to Block
 Progressive Laws


By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., Jan. 31.-"Old Guard" boasts that the Coolidge and Dawes victory on election day spelled hard sledding" for progressive 1egis- lation appear to have been justified.
 Emboldened by the big majorities in favor of stand pat'' policies, the "Old Guard" is openly doing it's best, egged on by reactionaIy leaders and news papers, to block labor and progressive measures wherever they are proposed.
 The "Old Guard" policy is in accord with a report submitted to the Ma tiona1 Industrial ounci1 in New York soon after the election in which 1t was asserted that the Republican victory was expected to have an unfavorable effect upon legislation sought by pro- gressive organizations. The report said:
 Republican victories in the various state contests for legislative seats are expected to exert an unfavorab1e in HuenCe on the Class IeS1SidIlOH pro grams of the labor unions, welfare or ganizations and radical groups. The belief prevails that conservatism will be the predominant keynote of the sessions in many of the principal in dustria1 states"
 The report, however, made virtual admission that the organized workers can not be discouraged by temporary setbacks when 1t declared that organ ized 1abor's program for state 1egis1a tion would be of the same sweeping charactr as it was in 1923, with a particularly strong drive for passage of the anti-injunction measures and ratification of the Twentieth (Child Labor)) Amendment"

With Ruthenberg Jailed, Red Factions

Labor News Servlce.
 Chicago, Jan. 31.-Now that C. E. Ruthenberg, secretary of the Workers '(Comnunist) Party of America, Is be- hind the bars of the Michigan peniten- tiary on a sentence of from three to tn years on conviction of violation of the Michigan syndica1ism law, leaving w. z. Foster in undisputed control of the e.~destinies of the party, the friends of Foster are industriously circulating the report that Ruthenberg and Foster have composed their differences and that it is time for all good Communists to stop calwnig and scratching each other like a lot of Kilkenny cats and live together in peace and harmony
 Warfare has ragged in the Commun- ist camp ever since the national cleo ton, in which Foster received less than 35,OO0 votes as a candidate for presi- z dent of the United States. The party has been dividd into two factions, one headed by Foster and the other by Ruthenberg. The chief business in life of the followers of the two leaders since the election has been to prove that the other was guilty of originating the party policy which led to the great hasco
 The prize contended for in this dis pute was the control of the party and its Sucker list" and the right to liqui- date" to use a pet Communist term.
 Foster and his friends are on top and happy; Ruthenberg is down and out and in prison, and his followers are anything but happy It is now the aim of Foster to jolly Ruthenberg's friends into remaining loyal to the party and, of course, ot continue contributing to the eEhequer.

ORGANIZATION OF WORKERS MUST
 BE PRESSED
By WILLIAM GREEN, President, American Federation of
 of Labor.
(From an Address at Washington, D.
 C., Jan. 20, 1925.)

(From an Address at Washington, D..
 C., Jan. 20, 1o25.)
 1 am impressed with the fact that the work of organization and educa- ton must be carried on iD every un- organized field and in every comnun- ity i'll thorough-going, vigorous fash ion The appeal to unite in this great, humane undertaking must be made not only ot the workers themselves but to the sense of fairness and justice which IS so characteristic of our American people. The field is a vast one and the work is great but the service which can be rendered through organization and organized effort is of inestunable value Organize the Unorganized must be our slogan. It Is a work for humanity, for only through the inde- pendence and freedom which came through organization can men and women reach that standard of life and living commensurate with American citizenship and enjoy in full measure happy life.
 Of equal importance is the necessity of impressing upon employers of labor and the public, as we'll that it is the purpose of organized labor to employ all the legitimate resources at its com mand to secure for its members, through collective bargaining, humane contracts, high wages, reosanble hours and tolerable conditions. The standard we aim to set must be as high as con ditions and circumstances surrounding industry will permit We vii fight most earnestly and progressively for the en- joyment of these blessings and privil eges.
 On the other hand, all parties at in terest must be taught that a contract IS a contract It carries with 1t an equal obligation upon the part of em- ployers and employees. It must be main tained inviolate. On the part of or ganized labor, its honor and integrity, it's sense of fair dealing and justice must be the security which 1t offers in guaranteeing the faithful observance of a contract made. The individual mem Der of organized labor subject to the conditions and regulations of wage agreemnt must be encouraged and fought to give the highest and most efficient service.
 We must enhance the cause of or ganized labor by showing by precept, word and deed, that union workman is more efficient, valuable worker than non-union worker, that his sense of obligation to give sercice Of the highest order in return for an accept able wage scale and the recognition of his right to organize is qquickened and sustained because of his membership in his trade-union.
 As I view the present, as compre- bend our opportunities and as l look into the future, 1t is with this spirit of obligation,- with this understanding, with these hopes and with these ideals that we must move forward.

By International Labor News Service.
 Springfield, H., Jan. 31.-The Illinois State Federation of Labor, working in conjunction with representatives of the railroad brotherhoods, will seek nact- -ment of 13 measures at the present session of the Illinois legislature.
 Foremost of these will be the in- junction limitation bill to prevent judges from restraining peaceful pick eting and otherwise depriving citizens of their constitutional rights. Second on hte program is ratification of the Child Labo Amendment to the Fed eral Constitution.
 The third item consists of two bills, both of which are intended to insure trial by jury ot persons held in labor disputes for contempt of court and amendment of different sections of hte judicial code to bring this about.
 The fourth bill is an amendment to the state workmens compensation law to increase the weekly allowance awarded to persons who suffer acci- dents in hazardous industry.
 A fifth measure would limit the em- ployment of women to eight hours day. The sixth is the one-day-rest- in-seven bill. A seventh would amend the state law governing corporations to require such bodies to furnish the secretary of state with evidence of its ability to pay the wages of persons employed by it.

Storing Seed Beans to
Keep Little Weevil Out

A problem that often confronts the
farmer and housewife who wishes to
keep some of the seed from the garden
is, how may this seed be stored to
keep the bean weevil out? If the
beans are kept only for eating pur-
poses, one may heat them before put
ting them in box, sack or fruit jar;
or boiling water may be poured over
them. However, for seeding purposes,
neither of these will work In this case
the beans should be thoroughly dry
and put into a fruit jar with camphor
gum A small amount of the gum is all
that is necessary as it is strong and
lasting. Usually the eggs are laid in
the beans before they were hulled and
the gum must be used to help in con-
trolling the young weevils when they
hatch. If the seed is put into an open
container the beans may become con-
taminated or infested. So they should
be kept in a Jar or something that is
tight enough to keep the adult beetle
or bug out.

Fall Is Best Time for
Spreading Ground Lime

The fall of the year is usually the
best time for the hauling and spread
ing of ground limestone. The stubble
fields are usually hard and the roads
mostly good and the field work not so
pressing as in the spring. Some farm
ers have used hydrated lime at the
rate of about 200 pounds to the acre
and received good results with it.
Where the haul is long from the rail-
road siding, this type Of lime treat
ment for soil is worth trying, because
Of the reduction of labor. Some men
have hauled the. crushed limestone in
contractor dumping trucks and then
dumped the ground limestone at the
end Of the fill and then spread with a
lime spreader.

Bad Housing Conditions
Cause Various Diseases

Colds OF poultry which are similar
in many respects to the colds of the
human family, should be regarded
critically as they may be the forerun-
ner of more serious trouble such as
nasal or ocular roup, diphtheria or
birdpox.
Poor housing conditions cause many
fiocks to acquire colds, especially in
the fall. Chicks should be trained to
roost as soon as possible, as this al
lows a circulation of air around their
bodies. Dampness in houses should
be particularly avoided. Chickens that
do not have sufficient feed or the
proper kind of food acquire colds
easily. A balanced ration consisting
of approximately equal parts of mash
and grains, supplemented with plenty
of succulent green feeds, is one of
the best representatives..
In preventing colds from develop
ing into more serious trouble, where
whole fiocks are affected due to ex-
posture, it is often advisable to admin
lister epson salts at the rate of / to
Ia pounds tee 100 adult birds, say
poultry men at the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
Unsanitary pens as compared with
clean ones result in a death loss of
35 per cent experiments conducted
by the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege show. Proper sanitation includes
all measures that are conducive to
good health, but is probably more con-
sidered in connection with the clean
liness of houses, syards, runs and gen
eral quarters as well as the feeding
and drinking utensils. 1t also includes
the control OF both internal and exter-
nal parasites.

SATIN WRAPS FOR FORMAL WEAR;
HATS FEATURE BRIGHT VELVET

nj OW that we stand at the threshold
\ of the social season. comes the
question, what to choose for a wrap
suitable for both evening and semi
formal dinner wear. In the same spir-
1t that we buy "a hat for every occa-
sion," we now consider it ''good form"
to acquire a wrap tuned to the hour
and the event. The fact that we of
this generation are given to "call a
taxi" or sink into the depths Of a
cushioned limousine by way Of ar
irving at our destination, greatly sim
plifies the problem of timely wrap.
We are justified in choosing for APP
pearance, rather than protection. and
that is perhaps one reason why lus-
trous supple satin has become so IA
vored a fabric for the formal wrap.
OF course the satin wrap must be
heavily cuffed and bordered with
