Fortunately our laws divorce
church and state, but unfortunately

Guarding Their Union
Night and Day
Ry ASSAD,

NEW YORK CITY, July s. The
struggle is on. The battle-ground is
all set to receive the sluggers that
the officials of the l. L. G. w. u.
might send to capture Local % from
the duly elected representatives, as
they did to Locals and 8.
We are on guard. We are on guard
as we always have been to safeguard
the interests of the rank and file of
the union. 1t gives one a sense of
safety and hopes for the future, see
ing hundreds of girls and men, de-
priving themselves of their sleep and
recreations, in order that their or
ganization, which was built thru years
of hard labor and struggle should not
be thrown to the dogs, that their To-
cal should not fall in the hands of
those who have sold them time and
again to the bosses.
An Address That Means Something.
Sixteen West End St., N. Y. is an
address not be forgotten in the an
nails of the union movement of New
York, and especially among the class
conscious and progressive workers of
the l. L. G. w. U. Day and night
passers-by can see groups of working
girls and men, standing on the watch,
alert and ready for any eventuality
that may arise.
Inside and outside of the building,
during and at the end of the night,
one can see people with closing eyes,
worn and pale faces from lack of
sleep and rest. In spite of all that,
their determination to fight till the
bitter end is written on their faces.
All night long they are on guard,
changing posts, singing, laughing and
hopeful, not withstanding the fact of
their tiredness.
Holding the Fort.
In front of the building, and across
the street groups of three or more are
discussing the possibilities of a quick
victory The stairs crowded with
people, mostly girls; cycling every one
who wishes to enter the building, the
doors are guarded day and night. In
the corridor still more people on
guard.
First floor: Young girls and boys
singing, playing and dancing; to chase
away the slumber that insists on at
lacking them. Second floor: In one
corner, group discussing some inter-
esting topic; literature, politics, eco

ing science and philosophy.
In another part of the room some
body is leaning on an armchair doz-

tey're lying on the floors, on the tables
and on the chairs stretched all their
length with deep slumber, but up as

true that they rob the farmers; they
also rob the eastern bankers when
ever they have the opportunity. They
don't recognize class distinctions in
this respect.
THE big eastern banks are putting
4 the local fellows out of business
by establishing branches of the great
financial institutions in the little
towns. The village bankers become
their agents. But it seems they can
not keep their hands off the money.
This tendency is partly responsible
for the number of sickly banks around
here. OF course, d good deal depends
on the crop situation. Agriculture is
gamble. The farmers never can tell
from one week to the other whether
they are going on easy street or into
the poorhouse. sE ~

THE Producers News goes into
every home in Sheridan county. 1t
is the official organ of the county and
of the farmer-labor party. This farm
er-labor party is a mass organization,
predominantly farmer. But many of
those farmers do other odd jobs in or
der to make ends meet The crops
were good last year and another good
one is in prospect for this year. The
ex-wobbly banker tried to make us
believe that we were in for an ex-
tended period of prosperity, but the
Producers News carried a story to the
effect that an unusually heavy crop
is expected this year in Soviet Rus
STA. The question of prices then be-
comes burning one for the Montana
farmer.
CHERIDAN county takes good care
~ of its renegades.s The farmer-labor
party elected men to Office many times
only to see them join the enemy. But
they don't get elected again. Burton

county. Those farmers are we'll train

One of those sent to the state legis-
lature in the last election from Sheri-

lican party machine. He found that
the farmer-labor> party was atheistic
and anti-social.s The farmers say that
even his god will not be able to elect
him the next time. .
THE automobile has revolutionized
farming life socially. The radio is
another factor. Young men and
women, fathers and mothers and
children, come for scores of miles in

sorts. The serious minded people
listen to speakers expound their
theories. The young dance the latest
steps to the sound of jazz band. The

so much joy to the. clothing manu-
facturers are very much in evidence.
The wearing apparel ofathe girls is no
more generous than what can be seen

country. The time is, ripe for the
workers and farmers to form an al
lance and use modern machinery to
its fullest extent for the benefit of

New Device for
Frying Holes With
Dough Around EN-

Little wonder that a crowd stood
outside the store of Weber & Hewett
Monday afternoon. Little wonder, too,
that every member Of the crowd had
his or her tongue out
For, inside the store and right in the
window where all could see, dough-
nuts were being fried.
1t was not the old-time method of
frying doughnuts, however, for here
was an automatic doughnut machine
that was turning out delicious rings
of crisp brown dainties that was like
nothing else seen here. In fact, there
is only one other in the whole of
Maine.
Operated by electricity. this machine
cuts, turns. fries and elects dough-
nuts. They are not touched by hand
during any of the process. So well
does the machine do it's work that 40
dozen an hour is the capacity and the
dough reservoir holds enough at each
flling to do half an hours work.
1t has been saidsthat this machine
put grandma out of business" This
may be so, for 1t is certain that 1t is
the most ingenious apparatus seen in
Augusta in long time and the pro-
duct is excellence itself.
The new machine has been added as
part of the electrical equipment of
the Weber & Hewett bakery.

Mary's Church, Augusta, Maine;
Rev. T. ]. Mclaughlin, Pastor"
Rev. Father Mclaughlin was most
non-committal when approached re-
garding the project yesterday.
There Is absolutely nothing to give
out at the present time, he stated
to the Journal representative.
The Journal carried the announce
ment that the erection of new
church was contemplated by the St.
Marys parish about eighteen months
ago, when the arrangements for
financing the proposed building
program were first undertaken. 1t
was understood several months ago
that the building fund had grown TO
a total OF about $35,000.00 and that
ground would be broken for the
foundations when the sum reached
$50, 100000. No information could be
obtained as to the probable cost of
the beautiful new stone church, but
it is undoubtedly true that if the
structure as depicted in the archi-
tect's sketch is erected the edifice
viii cost much in excess of 500, 900.
The old so-called kinsman estate
was the first of the properties ac-
CURED by the st. Mary's parish in
the block on Western Avenue and
Sewall street. That property was
purchased some years ago at cost
of about $4,000. Later the Button
house and land adjoining on the
north on the corner of Sewall and
Lincoln streets was bought by the
parish at price said to be around
$4,000. There are upwards of 700
families comprising the st. Mary's
parish at the present time, and all
members OF the parish are most en-
thusiastic over the plans for an
adequate new church home.

If present proposed plans are car
ried through to naturalization, st.
Mary's Catholic parish of this city
will in the near future have one of
the most beautiful new church
edifices in the state of Maine and
New England. The church has been
committed to a program to under
write the building of new church,
over the past several years. and it
is understood that the present status
of the project calls for the starting
of the foundations, possibly the COM
ing Spring.
At the last Sunday masses at st.
Mary's proof sheets carrying the
above picture made from the archi-
tect's sketch Of the proposed new
church home were distributed to the
Pensioners without any accompany
ing word of explanation. nor did the
pastor, Rev. Father Thomas ]. Nc
Laughlin make any reference to the
plans in his words at the several SER
vices. 1t Is generally assumed by
the parishioners and the public at
large that the building fund has
reached total sufficient to start
construction sometime in the near
future.
For several years the parish has
controlled large block of land
bounded by Western Avenue, Sewall,
Lincoln and South Chestnut streets
and tho splendid new church will I'M
doubtedly be located on that central
holding. At the time of the pre-
iminary announcement of plans for
a new building it was stated that
the edifice would probably be built to
front on Western Avenue. It is also
understood that eventually the st.
Mary's parochial school and hall
will be moved to the new site.

parishioners at the masses last Sun
