O GLENN YOUNG, one of the ia
- vorite murderers on the payroll
Of the ku klux khan, met his Waterloo
in Herrin, the town that made him in
famous. Young was bully and like
all DULLES, coward. His hooded brag.
CARTS and assassins never attack ex
cept when they have the advantage OF
numbers on their side

"a Thomas met his death in the lat
est Herrin hostilities. According to
reports, Young and his gang Of muir
derers went after Thomas when they
heard no was in town. AS soon as
they caught sight Of him they fired
but before he dropped, Young and two
other khan killers bit the dust
THO an agreement was entered into
/ between the khan and anti-klan
forces, that both Thomas and Young
should stay out Of Herrin county for a
stipulated period of time, the khan
chief has Feen back in Herrln writing
his autobiography, which consists
chiefly of bis accomplishments in the
murder line. Young was ons Of Len
Small's lieutenants in the recent cleo
ton campaign and apparently was the
real ruler of Herrin. Capitalist gov
ernments pretend to frown on violent
extra legal activity, but when thii
force is exerted on the side Of the
capitalist system, 1t is winked at. How
long would Glenn Young and his as
sassins be allowed to operate If they
were union organizers?

honoring their late leader. But At.

Sam spent good deal OF time there,
watching bathing beauties and beauty
contests while he was being wheeled
along the broad walk by coIored

FARM WAGES
WELL UNDER
1924 AVERAGE

Washington, ID. C.. March 26--Farm
wages are now well under the aver
age for 1924. They are slightly less
than the average for 1928 but greater
than in 1922. The average monthly
wages Of farm labor without board Is
computed by the Department Of Agri-
culture from information obtained
from farms throughout the country.
In general, farm wages follow the
ups and downs of factor employ
ment. When industrial employment
is high farmers have to pay more to
hold their help. When industrial EN-
ployment recedes, the farmer iinds II
easier to hold his labor.
Throughout the latter months OF
1924, employment, while on an as
cending scale. was less than for the
corresponding months in 1923. This Is
reflected in the gradual dip of farm
wages to the present point after TWO
years of ascent.
The farmers labor problem thus
differs from the factory owner. When
production is high and factories are
running at capacity. the factory wage
scale is almost sure to be a rising one.
Apparently farm wages are not so
controlled Farmers now are in a
better position financially than since
1920 but nevertheless wages 60 down;
In the year 1923, farm prosperity did
not keep pace with industrial pros
perity, but the level of farm wages
rose despite that.
At present industrial employment
is on a rising scale, which may have
an effect on farm wages during the
next few months.
