vention last July at Montreal, Can

by the police and f1remens band

the vote.

bered by the wives.
The police business will share a
great portion of the time, and the

THANKS AND APPRECIATION

We wish to publicly express our thanks and acknowledge our grati- tude to the officers and men of the Putnam Fire Department for the good work they did at the fire in the Stoumbelis Block. Tuesday night. It was due to the efficient handling of the fire that great loss was prevent ed.
 We also appreciate that it was due to the intelligent manner in which the fire was brought under control that saved us thousands of dollars which might have been caused by a less intelligent use of water. IL is gratifying to us, and should be . source of qualification to every citi- zen of Putnam, that Putnam has no, only an efficient fire department but department that works intelligently to prevent loss through the unwar- ranted use of water Our stock was not damaged by fire or water but only by smoke.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Amer-
lean business was controlled by fever
individuals in the sense that fewer
American citizens and residents were
in business on their own acount-in
the year 1924 than in any year back
to 1908, according to statistics pres
ented by the National Bureau of Econ
omic Research, Inc.
There were only 1857, 900 persons
in business on their own account in
the United States last year, by the
preliminary estimate of the bureau,
as compared with 1856, 900 persons
working for wages or salaries.
In 1909 there we're 9,S33,00 indie
pendently in business of all kinds, and
24,422,0OO working for wages or sal
aries. The number working for wages
or salaries has steadily increased, but
the number in business on their own
account has fluctuated- rising above
100000 only in the years 1916, 1920,
1921 and 1922. 1t was 9,6s5,OO0 in
1923.
of the total population of lis, 454, 900
estimated July 1, 1924, there were
S5,122000 children under Is years and
S5,1O90O0 adults not gainfully occu-
pied. This latter class includes all
who are neither in business nor en-
ployed.

rotary purposely failed to sign the re-
turn sheet which caused the entire
vote of the local to be thrown out.
Had the vote of this local been
counted, it would have given Frank
Johnson, progressive candidate for
sub-district secretary enough votes to
defeat his reactionary opponent, in
spite of the fake ballots and other
fraudulent methods used elsewhere in
the sub-district.
Murphy Smith the new mayor of
Zeigler is not a radical, but he has
guaranteed full protection against
gunman methods of the khan in union
meetings and elsewhere. He also
promises full protection and freedom
of speech to all speakers who wish to
speak in Zeigler, regardless of creed,
color or nationality.
Trick Didn't Work.
Just before the election, a clever
move, designed to split the anti-klan
vote was made when one Polovnia, a
Serbian, backed by ex-Mayor Hogan,
was put in the field as a third can
didate.
Hogan was supposed to be against
the khan, but in one of the meetings
held for his candidate, Polovina, Ho-
gan unwittingly remarked that he.
mad nothing against the khan and
that he got out and worked for the
khan candidate for township constable
and was not ashamed or it.
Bob Sullivan Avenged.
This is the same Hogan who sew
eral years ago. while mayor of Zeig-
Ter, caused the Workers Party organ
izer, Comrade Sullivan to be beaten
up and run out of town. This time
his little scheme failed to work. The
foreign element did not fall for the
bait, and his candidate, Polovina, re-
ceived but 10 votes.
The Workers Party did not kid It.
self about elections of this kind, but
no progressive in Zeigler was sorry
to see the khan meet defeat. That the
khan both in union and city politics
has the support Of the coal mine op-
orators there is little doubt. Past
events all tend TO show the connec-
ton and in their dirty work they have
always been ably assisted by the Far
rington machine.
