4 They have expressed the
weariness of humanity in the
face OF infinite labor, the hopeless
ness of the muddy roads of life that
end at the inevitable grave, the
weeping of women at the foot of the
tree where the Lord hangs crucified.
This morning from a hundred
Washington church steeples they
sound another message. Through the
deserted, silent canyons of the down
town streets and through the bios
soming backyards of the suburbs
Ghey carry the story of the stone that
was rolled away from the sepulcher
back In the fragrant morning of
Christianity, the promise of spring
time, in nature and resurrection in
tha hearts of those who have been
downcast and tired.
The bells of Easter are ringing
throughout history bells have been
Ehe medium for some of the most
passionate expressions of mankind.
They have provided the musical voice
of great victories and great tragedies
OF cities and nations. They have
been the weird, ghostly harbingers
of death and the merry, laughing
messengers of marriage. Where
voices. organs. violins and bugles
have been utterly inadequate to give
voice to the surging emotions of
great masses of men, bells have
answered the purpose.
The old Latin verse, with its con-
7inual suggestion OF bell music, sums
mp their functions:
Funero plango, fulmina FRANCO Sabbata psngo
txrlto lentos, dissipo ventos. peco cruentos
! mourn at funerals. the thunderbolts l scat
Ter, / ring in the Sabbaths.
J hustle the sluggsrds, / drive away the
storms, i proclaim peace after bloodshed.
Easter, the festival of mankind's
great JOY. always has been the in
evitable occasion of bell pealing. The
gladsome carols from the church
towers have become an integral part
of the joyousness of the day There
is no other expression so adequate
Tor the theme OF resurrected Christ
Hence the bells of Washington
hustling drowsy heads into the
Spring sunshine where they can feel
xhe spirit of the day.
Few American cities have more
adequate bell music than Washing
ton. The larger American communi-
Ties have been slow to recognize the
charm, which adds so much to the
attractiveness of life in English,
French and German cities Even here
the bells of most of the churches
are sounded only on the Sabbath.
That a new day in this respect is
at hand seems probable. Epiphany
Church, al Fourteenth and G Streets
with its daily programs on the elab-
crate McKim memorial chimes, Is
leading the way. During the three
years since these have been installed
they have become a part of the daily
life in downtown Washington. They
are considered almost as much a part
OF the beauty of the National Capital
as the Japanese cherry trees or the
Cofcoran Art Gallery. When tourists
have become surfeited with all the
other places of interest about Wash
ington, they are taken to c. street
near the church in the late afternoon
and leave for their homes with some
thing of the reverential in their mem
Dries.

rection, 1t is entirely possible for the
sound to leave the bell and return to
the tower almost in the twinkling of
| an eye.
On the other hand, on clear, still
days the sound is gone the instant
the tongue of the bell swings. The
observer in the tower gets just the
sharp, quick note and nothing more.
That the record for the sound of the
bells to travel is only about miles
probably will prove surprising to per-
sons brought up in the country and
familiar with village church bells,
which, on very clear, calm days.
sometimes are heard three or four
| miles away. The explanation is that
in the open country there Is nothing
| to break the path Of the notes. They
have nothing to hit and bounce away
from, losing energy with each colli-
sion until there Is no sound at all. A
great deal also depends on the condi-
tion Of the air through which the
sound must travel
u x rs
THE Epiphany organists take ex-
ceptional pride in these chimes
/ and continually are inspecting all the
little mechanisms that go to make up
the complete instrument. The chimes
are not easily put out of order, how
ever. The construction is so sturdy
! that there is little chance for any
| thing to go wrong except the cleo
| trical arrangements, and these make
little difference except in respect to
the comfort OF the players. The
electrical keyboard transmits the
right implse to the tongues with an
| uncanny accuracy when it Is in per-
feet working order. Artistically, how
| ever, the player can do better job
by climbing the iron ladder and ap-
plying his muscles to the levers.
Many expressions of appreciation
are received from persons within
hearing distance. To patients at
George Washington University Hos
pital, almost in the back yard of
| Epiphany Church, the chimes have
proved almost as much of a BOON

The Rarest Bear.

How the capture of a young bear
cub settled a scientific dispute
Of long standing Is told by Francis
Dickie in American Forests and
Forest Life. 1t seems that for 20
years scientists have been at odds
as to whether a very rare white bear
found only on two small islands near
Prince Rupert on the coast of Brit
ish Columbia was a distinct species
or simply an albino. If the former,
1t would be the rarest bear in the
world. If the latter, 1t was simply
a. polar bear altogether lacking in
pigment.
Early last September two Indians
landed on the wild shores of one of
these two islands in search of game
and came upon mother bear with
two cubs. one Of which they succeed
ed in capturing alive. This bear
finally reached Francis Kermode,
director Of the museum at Victoria,
British Columbia
When the cub was received the
very first thing the director did was
to lift the head of the friendly lit
tie animal to the sunlight. When he
looked into Its eyes he knew the cub
was far from being an albino speci-
men of the polar bear. Its eyes were
distinctly brown. Thus, 1t is a new
species. The bear has been named
Ursus Kermodel, for the director.
For many years the skins of these
white bears have been brought to the
world fur markets. 1t was long ago
noted by DR.. w. T. Hornaday, director
Of the New York Geological Park,
that certain characteristics OF the
skins showed they were not those
of the common polar bear.
Yet, in order to base a. new species,
more evidence than this was neces-
sary. This evidence in the form of
the live cub recently captured now
establishes the new species, which is
far smaller than the polar bear and
even much smaller than the COM
mon black bear. The teeth differ
greatly from those of the polar bear,
while the ears are smaller.

JeCLS WHICH the Ike
of a people or tribe are being
L shipped to Rome, addressed to
his holiness Plus XII at the
Vatican Palace. The coming of holy
year, as 1925 is designated by the
Roman Church. has been extensively
prepared for by ecclesiastical, state
and civil authorities. Already hun
dreds of Americans have engaged
passage for Europe, with Rome as
the objective. Rome expects to re-
ceive nearly 1000, 900 pilgrims in the
course of the year.
Indications are that It will be the
greatest pilgrimage in the history of
the church since Pope Boniface VIII
instituted the first holy year in 1900
The Vatican itself is alive with
preparations for the reception OF the
visitors. Bearing in mind that in
cluded in. the pilgrims will be repre-
sentatives of practically every nation
in the world, the church IS planning
an exhibition designed TO illustrate
the extent and the variety OF its mis-
sionary work.
A portion of the Vatican Palace
Is to be set aside as a temporary
museum for the display of this ex-
hibit- The beautifully cared for Vat
lean gardens will be utilized in show
Catholic missions.
The exhibition will be divided into
two sections. The general section
will be devoted to a showing of the
library of the mission and another
section arranged geographically. In
the latter will be seen objects illus
trative OF the work of the separate
missions. To guard against any dan
ger from fire, there will be no cleo
trio illuminations in the pavilions, in
order to minimize this danger. In
the past fires did considerable dam
age. despite constant vigilance.
The purpose of this exhibition is to
instruct visitors in what Is being done
for the conversion OF non Christian
peoples, to afford an idea of the diff
culties encountered, the progress
achieved and the work that remains
for the future.
With this end in view; Catholic
missions are being urged to transmit
to Rome all objects which tend to
show the daily life of a people or
tribe. The implements used in daily
labor in agriculture, arts and the
sciences will be shown.

clared, I'VE have gone long way from
the labor law of two centuries ago
when England made it a criminal Of
Tense for a laborer to quit his work
In an effort 10 secure higher wages.
Both labor and capital must be
given a wide field of action without
too much interference from the
court.
"The right of workers to strike and
to quit their work, and induce others
to do likewise, even tho the employ.
ers' property remain idle and deterior-
ates, was upheld by the California SUI
preme court in 1902.
This case is an extremely import
ant one. The only conflict arises
where peaceful picketing is concern
ed. / would have no hesitancy in is
suing an injunction against picketing
which does injury to property. But
the mere parading in front Of the
plant and the exhibition OF sign
boards and placards Is undoubtedly
legal"
Judge Pam declared that boycotting
was Illegal. and that strikers had no
right to attempt to keep the public
from patronising employers whose
services they had left.

the trade union resistance to longer
hours and lower wages is preventing
reconstruction"
Those opposed to the gold standard
and the recent funding of the debt to
the United States say that the in
crease made by these maneuvers in
coal prices has cut England out of
ability to sell coal abroad in compe-
tition with German, United States,
and French coal, particularly the
Preparations" coal from Germany.
Coal, however, stands only in the fore
ground of what can be said to be a
life and death struggle of British for
.eign trade for mere survival.
Capitalist Management Failure.
Communists are twitting British
Capitalists about their previous slurs
at the efforts of Soviet Russia to re-
construct its destroyed industries,
now that leading British capitalists as
sert that British trade is near death, .
with no such physical ruin as Russia
faced and conquered.
Revolution Viewed "Fron Below
Directly connected with this view
From the other side of the class strug
| gle is the comment Of the Welsh
miners. Down in Wales, where 1,000,-
900 slaves of the pits live wretchedly
when working at wages often no more
than $40 a week, the crisis of the
strike is looked upon as a forunne1
of the social revolution which all ac
/ cept as a future certainty.
In Wales the miners are profoundly
sorry that the strike did not develop
and some are bitter against the uniof
lspokesmen in London, for suspendins
the strike order even when their de
mand for a withdrawal of the wage
cut notices was granted
Angry at Postponement of Revolution
I'VE would rather starve while strik
ing and making fight than nearly
starve while digging coal with nc
promise of better days ahead" is theiI
verdict. In the view of the Welsh
miners, the revolution was avoided
only by a hairs breadth by the sur
render Of the government to the
operators demand for a subsidy. The
miners of Wales, black with coal, are
equally black with surely anger al
the delay Of the revolution.

Judge Pam Declares
the Anti-Injunction
Law Constitutional

will be a comparatively easy matter
for the judge to construe the injunc-
ton in such way as to outlaw the
entire strike by ruling that the pick
citing has taken on illegal forms.
The injunction as originally drawn
up by the lawyers for the Interna-
tional Tailoring company, which was
later changed at the insistenoe OF w.
A. Guinea, the Amalgamated's lawyer,
nullified the anti-injunotion act not
by permitting a construction unfavor-
able to the workers, but by means
Of clause which was later struck out.
The original bill, after reoiting what
the striking workers may not do, goes
on to tell what they may do--the pick
cts may peacefully walk the streets,
may quietly approach employees OF the
company, ETC., provided--and this pro.
vision would have had the effect of
prohibiting picketing altogether with
out even the formality OF test case
provided that nothing contained in
said aforementioned proviso shall per.
NIT more than one person to do any
OF the things therein mentioned at
any one time or place."
Picketing by the clothing workers
in front of the struck shops will go
on as usual this week, in spite of
the injunction handed down by Pam.
Pam declared the law constitutional
on the ground that similar laws are
in effect in other states

BALTIMORE CITY
BUILDING TRADES
WORKERS STRIKE
5000 Workers Affected
BY WaIkOut
BY IRVING soLLINs.
(Worker Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Md Aug. 2-The
Central Building Trades Council Of
Baltimore, with the approval of the
Baltimore Federation of Labor, has or
dered strike Of all building trade
workers employed on city contracts.
II will affect approximately 5000
workers.
Labor leaders today were certain
that the strike would be effective,
whereas the city officials claim that
the unions will be defeated They
are proud Of the fact that so many
men are out of work in Baltimore and
this would give them a large reserve
army of scabs. r
Charles H. Osborne, head of the city
building commission, one of those not
very rare swindlers, stated: "They
1.-THE union workers. are licked before
they start; the city can get plenty Of
men. After two or three weeks the
union workers will be glad to come
back"
Fears for Civic Pride.
Mayor Jackson, in statement is
sued today claims that the union Of
Iflcials and workers lack "civie PRIDE"
that they are deliberately tying up
work on public schools which," quot
ing the honorable takers statement,
(which are being built to educate
their own children" Such lack of
Babbit-like civic pride is inconceiv-
able to honorable (?) mayor. Yes, of
course, the strikers should be proud
Of the opportunity to send their chill
dren to the schools they themselves
built, to the schools that teach their
children to fight for the capitalist even
against their own class.
Wednesday night, at the Federation
of Labor meeting, Edward D. Bieretz,
business agent for the Electrical
Workers Union, was vehement in his
denunciation of the city officials. He
charged that Mayor Jackson and
Building Inspector Osborne were
swindling the city taxpayers. He
claims that altho the taxpayers are
charged for union labor on all city
contracts, the union scale is not paid,
and that the city ofhciais pocket the
difference between the amounts paid
for contracts and the amounts sup
posed to be paid fof"union work.
Union Leaders Not Straight.
That the city officials are crooks is
not at all novel to Baltimorians.
Neither is it novel to learn that the
union officia1s, the so-called labor
leaders, are crooked. The union lead
ers are looking out for their own
benefit, and will Be whiting to call off
the strike as soon as they are paid suf-
flciently, or rather, as soon as the city
officials are gentlemen enuf to divide
the spoils with them.
The following are the rates paid by
the city and the demands Of the
unions: 'p

BOSTON, Mass. (5y MaiL) - The
cIoaknakers and dressmakers of
Boston rallied to the support Of the
Locals 2, 9 and % Of NeVv York in
their struggle against the gunman rule
Of Sigman and Co. at the mass meet
ing. held in Ford Hall here
Seven or eight hundred members of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union reared their. approval
Of a resolution denouncing the attack
of the Sigman gang on the three New
York locals and calling for the re-
moval Of all those responsible for the
attack from positions in the union, and
pledging moral and financia support
to the Joint Committee OF Action
until the battle against the reaction
airy Sigman clique has been}won.
Faced Threats of Expulsion.
The mass meeting was a success in
spite of the treats of expulsion made
by the local takers against and work
or attending the meeting, and the
gang of thugs that the local Sigman
gang brot to the meeting with them.
The speeches on the New York sit
uation were given by Louis Hyman,
Rose Wortis and G. Burukovich all
members of the Joint Committee of
Action set up by the three. New York
locals to conduct the fight against the
Sigman machine The reeital of the
incidents of the New York struggle
enthused the meeting and even the To-
cal oficia1dom and their thugs we're
kept quiet by the enthusiastic APP
plause from the audience.
The resolution which was carried
by the meeting is as follows:
Eve, the Boston members of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, assembled in mass meeting in
Ford Hall, Boston, on July 30, 1925,
having heard the reports of the at
tack on Locals 2, and % by the
Sigman machine condemn the actions
of Sigman and Co. in suspending the
executives and managers of Locals 2,
., and %, the biggest locals in the
International.
Charged Union Is Weakened.
I'VE declare that this was an un
warranted attack on these locals to
suit the reactionary purposes of Sig
man and Co. and weaken our union
in face of the attacks of the manufac
.turers. The tactics of the sigman ma
chine in breaking into the Offices Of
these locals at midnight with the aid
of thugs and gunner, taking posses
sion and throwing out the legally
elected officers before giving them &
trial, is not only a violation of the
constitution Of the International but
is a violation of the principles Of
trade unionism.
I'VE demand that those responsible
for thees attacks on these locals be
removed from responsible positions il
our union as they have demonstrated
their unfitness for holding office by
their actions. The suspended officers
Of Locals 2, 9. and 20 must be rein
stated, the reign of thugs and gunner
abolished and the rights of locals ant
individual members respected.

Joint Committee of Action of Locals

and financially in their struggle unit
our fight for strong union controlled
