Crooked Fingers After Money.
The chief reasons behind the move
to expel these n members are that
they stand in the way of betrayal
of the union members to the bosses,
and secondly the International is
buried in debt thru the squandering
OF funds by the machine, and to get
money they wish to lay hands on
the treasures OF Locals 2, 9 and 20.
The only way they can get at the
treasures is by getting the executives
out Of the way.
The militant members OF the three
locals are determined to give the
machine the whipping Of its life. They
will not give up the fight for a bet

nor turn the treasures over to the

A Wage Cut Campaign
The shoe manufacturers, the cham
Der uf commerce, and the newspapers,
have been carrying on propaganda
campaign for the Boot and Shoe for
months. 1t is stated that $500 900
has been spent in this campaign. The
workers have been told that if they
sign applications for the Boot and
Shoe that they would get steady work.
The newspapers have lauded the Boot
and Shoe as a fine example of the
policies Of the A. F. Of L. of co-opera-

advantage Of both.
The whole campaign of the bosses
in favor Of the Boot and Shoe is
part OF the campaign for a general re-

When the agreement with the Anal

tory, work continued for a few DAYS
until the orders on hand were finish

A bank in Monrovia, Ind, tests seed
corn for farmers. A basement room
was fitted out last season for the pur-
pose and $4,000 ears were tested for
fifty-six farmers. One-fourth of the
seed tested last year was unfit for
seed. This year the percentage will
run even higher. The work is done
under the supervision of the high
school agricultural teacher. He reports
that the community will have a sur
plus of seed corn this year.
The banks Of Conway, Ark, have
offered prizes for the most marketable
sweet potatoes produced on one acre
