Sam Levin, manager Of the Chicago
joint board Of the Araaleamated Cloth

needle trades workers from their jobs
because they distributed sample bal

Prefer No Charges.
The removal Of these members of
the union was done in purely arbi-
trary manner. No charges were pre-
ferred against them. The only reason
given by Levin was that they dis
tributed sample ballots containing the
program upon which Nathan Green,
his opponent, is making his campaign.

The following is the text of the
handful, urging the workers to vote
for the candidate Of the progressive
and left-wing group:

RECRUITS SCADS

Pickets Threatened by
Drunken Deputies

The Edison Electric Appliance com

to get any of the workers in the main
plant, located at Seth and Taylor Sts.,
to 90 to work in the struck plant are
now using the Lands award office,

Bosses Make United Front.
The Lands award committee, which
represents the bosses in the building
trades and maintains an employment
office for the building trades bosses,
is now using this Office to send scabs
to tie Edison Electric Appliance com
pany.
The worker, whom the pickets in
formed of the strike, had come from
Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he has
wife and family. He as out of work
and when he arrived in Chicago, he
went to the Lands award office to
get job. They sent him to the
struck plant, not telling him that the
plant was on strike. When informed
of the strike he refused to enter the
plant.
Union Votes Assessment.
The Sheet Metal Workers Union,
Local No. lis, has voted a 81 assess
ment per member to be used to pay
strike benefits. This local is con-
Quoting the strike and is determined
to continue the fight until the strike
is won.
Drunken Deputy Posters Picket.
One OF the deputy sheriffs or plug
uglies, hired by the company to guard
the scabs, attempted to intimidate
one of the pickets and then threatened
to arrest the picket and send him to
the county Jail. This deputy was SO
we'll lit up, that when he ate his din
ner in one of the nearby restaurants
the waitress kept her eye on him for
fear that he might drown in the bowl
Of soup which he had on his table. He
had great difficulty in keeping his
head out of the bowl. These deputies
are armed and stagger around the
entrance trying to pick fights with
the pickets.

In spite of the fact that Turkey had
announced that it would not abide by
the decision of the league, which is
known to be under the domination of

Turkey Is Modelling.
Turkey is already mobilizing her
forces, according to information from
Constantinople, and Britain is known
to have been preparing for war with
Turkey ever since the defeat three
years ago Of the Greek armies which
were subsidized by Britain. Bases for
naval supplies have ben established in
the eastern part Of the Mediterranean
sea by Britain and at any moment
open warfare may break out starting
confagration that may infame all
Europe and the world.

the decision to Britain.

They visited the business estab-

none was found. The sheriff, how

FIND 6 MORE
STOLEN AUTOS
IN MONTANA

Minot, N. d., cb. 23.-Finding of
six additional stolen automobiles
five of which have been positively
identified, making total of 10 "hot"
machines recovered in the vicinity of
Plentywood, Montana, was reported
by Deputy Sheriff w. c. Rustad of
Mlnot and E. A. Hardness of Mimi
eapolis, insurance company detective,
who returned to Minot from Montana
last night. The two men, accompan-
led by department of justice agent,
drove one of the stolen cars to Minot,
it being the machine which was re-
Gently stolen from G. w. Twiford of
Minot, and which was found hidden
in a strawpile Is miles west of
Plentywood.
Wholesale recovery Of stolen auto
mobiles in the vicinity of Plenty
wood probably will lead to a grand
jury probe of the situation when
that body convenes in Great Falls
the latter part of this month, or at
future session of the jury, accord
ing to information obtained by the
local auInOfltleS.
Two men are already under arrest
in connection with the recovery of
stolen automobiles, John Gowles and
Ben Streepy, both of Plentywood.
They face federal charge of violat-
ing the Dyer act as we'll as state
charges preferred in Minot, charg-
ing them with the larceny of an au-
tomobilc. Hearings on the federal
charges, scheduled for last week,
have been postponed for two weeks.
The six cars seized by officials in
cludcd:
WilIys Knight sedan, stolen from
e. w. Twiford Of Minot.
Studebaker sedan, stolen from a
physician at Wilton, N. D.
Buick sport model touring car,
stolen from the Lincoln Buick Auto
company at Lincoln, Ncb.
Cadillac touring car, stolen from
Great Falls, Montana.
Ford touring car, stolen from John
Moore of Minot.

being sought.

sion Of an elevator man at Plenty
wood, according to local authorities
while the Buick car was alleged to
be in the posse of Plenty

proprietor in Plentywood possessed

tion affecting the Bank of North Da-
kcta or the other state Industries.
The House rejected a proposal for a
new industry by killing bill ap-
propriating 100000 to establish a
state printing plant. The Home
Building Association has. not been
mentioned in the form of bill dur
ing the present session. There is a
general agreement that the industrial
program shall be limited to the Bank
of North Dakota and the Grand Forks
mill and elevator, although many
would like to abolish both.
Moral Laws
"Moral legislation" will not be a
large part Of the law output of the
legislature. The two bills repeating
the states anti cigarette law, and
licensing their sale, have been sign
ed, and will become law April 1. 1t is
hardly possible that an early refer
endum to the people will be at
tempted, and the measures may be
given trial. A slight strengthen
ing of the prohibition law, tighten
ing up of restrictions on public dan
cling and the ban on Sunday dances
are measures which have passed the
House and are pending in the Sem
ate. Bills providing for withdrawal
of pupils from the public schools for
religious education were emphatical-
ly killed both in Senate and House.
There is much interest in the out
come of the bill to repeal the law
creating the state licensing depart
ment, which licenses motion picture
shows, soft drink parlors, taxicab
stands, and maintains force to aid
in enforcing the prohibition laws.
The bill passed the Senate with vir-
tually no opposition, which was
somewhat of surprise in view of
the hot fights staged in the legisla-
ture in the past over this measure.
A harder passage, if at all, is ex-
pected in the House.
Doubtful Economy
Economy is still an open question.
Rep. Divet declared to the House
Saturday that it appears from the
situation now that the legislature
will authorize the expenditure of
$2,0O0,00O more in the biennium than /!
any legislature ever before author
lied. Although nearly every appro-
priation measure for state depart
ments and institutions has been
slashed, other appropriations have
added.
Some of the larger appropriation /
bills will be disposed of in the clos ]
ing days of the session, including
the four bridge bills, .appropriating
a total of 100000, the University |
and Agricultural College budgets and
state departmental budget.
A. lively fight is in prospect in the /
closing days over state fairs. The
House killed appropriations for fairs /,
in Mandan, Fargo, Minot and Grand !
Forks and the Senate has passed |
b bills providing for these .apprcpria- /
tions.

ROBS HOME AS
DOG WATCHES

Selfridge, N. d., Feb. 23.-A daring
robbery was committed in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Arndt here.
Mrs. Arndt states she was awakened
by flashlight in her face and
glimpsed tall slender man, with a
revolver in each hand, backing out
of the bedroom. She awakened her
husband, who could find no burglar.
Mr.. Arndt asccrtained that the burg
lar had stolen his watch and chain
and 5000 in bills. The watch was
found near the house the next day.
An odd feature was that no sound
was heard from the faithful watch
dog, although Mrs. Arndt thinks the
animal barked shortly before the
robbery. In searching for the burg
lar, Mr.. Arndt could not find the
dog, which, however; returned to the
house about half an hour after the
burglar had retreated. Authorities,
investigating, hint at clues which
they have not divulged.
