Scene OF STATE
COSSACK fight
Bill Failed to Pass Last
Year
Especial to The oaily workerl

NNFNN'N+f ~ AHo 6ettNg WSNNNAt
SPRINGFIELD, H., FEB. 17.-Pro-
paganda Of the Illinois Manufacturers'
Association for a state constabuIary,
such as is used to break strikes in
Pennsylvania and other states, came
to head late today when Senator
Dunlap introduced the state police
bill In the senate.
The state police bill was defeated
last year, due to the protests of or
ganized labor.
Plan to Use Air Planes
This years state police bill is even
more menacing toward the workers
than was last years bill. Dunlap's
bill provides for airplanes and the
radio, which in case of strikes in H.
Iinois, could be used to intimidate the
strikers, as was done when airplanes
flew over the miners Of Mingo
county in West Virginia.
The governor is given the power to
appoint the head Of the state police,
and once appointed, the commander
may retain the job for life. State
troopers must be passed on by the
commander before admittance.
Bill Rejected Last Year
The police bill was rejected by the
Illinois legislature for three success.
sive times. Due to the intense pro.
paganda of the Illinois chamber of
commerce, and the employers associa-
tons for passage OF the bill, however.
it is conceded to have better chance
of passing this year than ever before.

WORKERS OF
B RITAIN AID
IRISH PEASANTS
Look to United States
for Assistance

DUBLIN, Ireland, Feb. 1.-THE
Irish committee of the international
Workers Aid is taking steps to re-
ieve the distress caused by the fam
inc of the west coast of ireland.
Tales of suffering pour into the COM
mlttee's- headquarters daily. Funds
are being raised in England, Scot
land and Wales as we'll as in ireland,
but the committee expects the big
gest part of the needed assistance to
come from the United States.
News that the Workers Party of
America and the American section of
the International Workers Aid, had
organized an American committee for
Irish famine relief was received here
with rejoicing. The Free State gov
eminent is inclined to look upon fam
inc publicity as a serious offense. The
government feels that its standing
with the International bankers will be
impaired if the impression goes
abroad that Ireland is a country sub
ject to periodical famines. The fact
is, the government cares nothing
what happens to the poor peasants
and fishermen.
Unused Opportunity.
1t was expected, however, that the
leaders of the Irish labor party would
take some steps to bring succor to the
stricken famine victims. But the
leader of the l. L. p, Tom Johnson,
rose in the Irish parliament last week
and called attention to the unfavor-
able publicity Ireland was receiving
as a result Of exaggerated" famine
reports. This lackey of imperialism,
promised the Free State government
assistance in any measure it saw fit
to take.
Patrick Hogan, the minister of agri-
culture, admitted that there was abb
normal distress this year. He hoped
the press correspondents would keep
silent and let the government handle
the situation in its own way.
The Labor Faker.
Tom Johnson was the only labor
leader in Ireland who opposed the
stand taken by the Irish Trade Union
Congress against the world war.
Since Connolly's death he has assum-
ed the political leadership Of the
Irish labor movement, or its right
wing. He has supported the Free
State government ever since its incep-
ton and is now its most trusted la
Dor lieutenant in putting up a good
front to the International bankers.
But Johnson does not represent the
rank and file of the Irish labor move
ment, who are ready to help the peas
ants to the best of their ability. But
there is terrible unemployment in Ire
land rendering assistance from the in
dustrial proletariat almost impossi.
BILE.
HeartIess Capitalist Lackeys.
Even the Irish encouragement
Timothy Healy, admitted in a public
speech, that fires were quenched on

dred years" as result OF the destruc-
ton of the fuel supply. Yet despite
this admission, the labor leader,
Johnson and the Free State govern
ment Of Cosgrave and the execution

THE Polish government has bad
l case of political nervousness. It's
fecret police arrested a German count
on suspicion of being chief of the
German espionage system in Poland.
The Polish government is but tool
of France and acts under French in
structions. It's remarkable that the
count has not been accused of being
a Soviet spy. But that may come in
due time.

Discovers Cause of
! OdOrs in Canals

Rotterdom, Holland.-An American
once said that he could face any
death except by drowning in Dutch
canal, and indeed the offensive smells
from many of these canals often make
foreign visitors wonder how the ma
tives can bear to live in such q per-
petual stencil.
These Objectionable doors have
now Been traced to the presence in
the water of hitherto unknown mic
roorganism which its Dutch dis
coverer, DR.. L. Elton, describes in the
German Biological Journal. He has
named this organism the vibrio Their
rnodesulfuricans He explains the vi
brio needs oxygen for its existence
and describes how, by chemical ac-
ton, it liberates the sulphuretted hy-
drogen which poisons the atmosphere
of many an otherwise attractive and
picturesque Dutch town, especially in
warm summers.
According to Dr.. Elion's expert
ments, these bacteria thrive best in a
temperature exceeding 70 degrees
Fahrenheit and are still active at 200
degrees, as well as during the hard
est frost.

SENATE COMMITTEE
DRAWS MUCH WORK
New Committee on Agriculture, Labor
and Industries to Hold Many
Hearings.

Madison, Wis. = The new state SEN
ate committee on agriculture, labor
and industries promises to become one
of the busiest committees of the legls-
lature this session, as is manifest by
the large number of bills already sent
to it for first reading and report.
Virtually all of the numerous bills
touching any phase of labor has been
sent to this committee as well as bills
affecting agriculture and other indus
tries.
When the committee personnel was
announced by the committee on COM
mittees, Senator o. H. Morris of Mil
waukee, apparently did not recognize
any representatives of industry on it
and rose to a point of information to
ask who the representative was. Upon
being informed, he withdrew his ques-
ton, but the ouip drew a laugh from
the galleries. -
The committee is we'll organized and
will be in full operation this week
with committee hearings on the bills
already assigned.
A bill by Senator j. c. Schumann of
Watertown, which would prohibit the
sale of substitute butter, including
oleomargarine, was destined for the
committee on state and local govern
ment yesterday when friends of the
senator, who was absent, asked its re-
call and re-reference to the agricul-
ture, labor and industries committee,
and so saved the bill for the committee
to which they believed the senator in
tended it. The presiding officer said
reference was agreeable to him, asked
the senators to overlook his mistakes
and to advise him as to their wishes
in regard to references. The matter
was held open until Senator Schumann
could be present to offer his choice of
committee.
1t was over the butter bill reference
that Senator Herman Bilgrien, farmer
and cheesemaker of Iron Ridge, took
occasion to protest his selection as a
member of the state and local affairs
committee when his choice was for
mebership on the new committee on
agriculture, labor and industries, his
preference having been sent to the
committees. The senator said senate
affairs were getting linked up"
An effort to satisfy Senator Bill
grien was being made during the week
end by the chairman of the committee
on committees.

Rotorship Promises
Land Application

Kiel.-The Flettner rotorship. and
the statement of its inventor that the
principle of cylindrical towers to Sc
cure power from the air will also be
used in Harvesting the wind on land,
continue to be discussed here.
Herr Flettner is reticent about his
plans to utilize wind power on land,
saying only that within year he
hopes to exhibit models which will
enable irrigation plants, factories and
municipalities to take power directly
from the wind through the use of the
discoveries he has worked out in his
study of air currents and their effect
upon revolving towers. Towers for
use on land will be high, as the con-
slant winds are far above the earth's
surface. Herr Flettner is confident
that eventually there will be great
saving of fuel through the use IF air
currents.
The inventor declares also that
small sailboats of all kinds. including
pleasure craft, can be fitted with one
rotating tower that will propel them
successfully on rivers, bays and lakes.

Adopt American
Housing Methods

Berlin.-Frame houses modelled up
on American patterns are beginning
to be popular in Berlin. A whole sec
ton Of wooden houses, sight hith-
erto unknown in large German cities
is springing up on the extreme west
end of the German metropolis.
The Germans have heretofore ridi.
called the iisa of wooden houses. Any
thing that did not last through sew
eral generations did not seem worth
pCii9ing to them. But today economic
rscsssity has driven them to study
the problem If the wooden house To
their surprise they find that wood has
rt1oG the test of time in America,
wnere there are houses dating back
tc Colonial Gays. They are, therefore
trying out the wooden house idea,
sFhich they find much cheaper than
stems and brick construction.
9rother housing idea that the Ger
mans are taking from the United
States is the two, three and four
room apartment. These are designed
along American lines and are proving
popular in Berlin.

MONTANA KILLER
TELLS HIS STORY
August Bloom Confesses
Happenings Out West
to Police Here.
IS A GRISLY TALE

A man came into the police Office
Thursday night, and asked Sergeant
Frank Schneeberger if he could talk
with him privately. They removed to
another room, and the man unfolded
his story
Il haven't been able to sleep
night said the stronger.
How come p asked the sergeant.
"I've got something on my mind
said the stranger. Il would like to
tell you if you will listen"
SHOOT" said the, SERGEANT, I'm lis
tening."
II was one time the hired man of a
Montana rancher," said the stranger
At once the blue hills were conjured
up, the long trails, and the sheep
folds, the cows grazing upon the
grassy plains. -.
?" encouraged the sergeant.
'And one day, the boss and 1 fell
out. We had a sure-enough row, and
l got plumb sore. l picked up the
long shotgun, and I went out and T.
And Then He Shot.
The narrator stopped to draw
breath.
'And you used it," asked the ser
geant gently.
Eyes, sir / used it. I shot ten
sheep. two steers, two calves, and
poisoned one horse and pig, only
the pig didn't die. If you go back
there, you can find the skeletons OF
them animals just where l dug EN-
under the turf. All this happened in
1917, but you'll find the bones there
right under the turf"
81 haven't time to take a trip to
Montana just now" replied the SER
geant but what would you like US
to do ?"
"Put me in JAIL" said the stranger
He added with a sigh, II can sleep
tonight. I've got it off my mind"
This morning Captain Clausen in
formed the stranger that he could
get up with free mind because thc
sheep killing case was outlawed now
anyhow, more than seven years having
transpired.

asked the captain.
"At an insane asylum" answered the
man.
"How did you come to leave?"
"They kicked me out"
Didn't want you even there? - MUIR
