Federal Agents Make Clean up of Automobiles Thought to
Have Been Stolen From Eastern Owners and Sold to
Citizens of Sheridan County-Stolen Cars Mostly Ford
Coupes.
OTHER INVESTIGATIONS ARE BEING MADE

One of the biggest roundups of
automobiles said to be stolen in this
community is now taking place and
two men are in the county Jail as
the result of Investigations by agents
Of the Department of Justice, charged
with possession and theft of autcmo-
biles.
1t has been rumored about for some
time that Plentywood was the hot
bed of a large and powerful ring of
automobile thieves and that large
number of stolen cars had been pUr-
chased by local people. Investiga-
tions have disclosed that more than
a score of such cars have found their
way into Plentywood and the adjOin-
ing community during the past year,
which would indicate that practically
one-third of the number of automo-
biles sold are stolen property.
At this time the government agents
are employing the famous heat test
/ to the engines of suspected aUtOmO-
! biles and in this way they are able
/ to bring out the original engine num-
bers in spite of careful and expert
alterations. When these numbers are
/ brought out, it is an easy matter &c

checking back the records cf the fac
tory and the sales records, the own.
ers may recover their cars without
much difficulty.
The following automobiles have
been seized during the past few days
! by Federal men:
Ford Coupe of Harry Hilliard.
| Ford Coupe of John Boulds.
! Ford touring car of Hugh Jones.
/ Ford Coupe of Geo. Mccoy.
Ford Coupe of John Bowler.
Ford Coupe Of B. Streepy Of Medi

Jail upon a warrant from Minot
N. D., charging him with stealing a

awaiting the arrival Of officers fror

ten months of 1920 and 117,O0O for 1921.
 Tn coal mining in the United States there were 2,452 men killed in 1925, as against 1,7o7 in 1922 and 2,317 in 1919.
 The statisticians have changed their measuring stick from rate per l,0Oo workers on a 0O-day-a-year basis to a rate per 100000 tons mined. The rate for 1923 is 8 per cent better than for 1922, but 1922 was about Is per cent. worse than 1olo

 When members works part of the month III or around the mines and the rest of the month at some other class of labor, he shall pay 50 cents pel month into the pension fund in addi- ton to 1 per cent, on the money he earns at his work in or around the mines. Remembers regularly employed in or around the mines are required tc pay $1.10 month into the fund.
 The payment of pensions vii start as soon as the fund Is available and those entitled to receive it are checked up. At this time the exact number ot pensioners has not been determined It will include all miners in good standing over the age of o5, incapacitated from work
 The fact that the proposition did not carry by two-thirds vote of the mem bership of District 12, as provided in the constitution, has caused doubt to arise as to the constitutionality of the plan among the district and Interna- tional officials of the United Mine Workers. The matter will receive off cial consideration in due time, it is un- derstood.

 ganization. Requests from various parts of the country were made to the Fl Paso convention of the American Federation of Labor, in which the wage earners of various occupations pleaded for organizers to come into their terri tories and teach them trade unionism.
 The convention directed the execu- tive council to give all possible aid and support to Bookkeepers, Stenograph- CTS and Accounts Union No. 12646 Ill its work of organizing the bank clerks, and further appealed to all workers, labor organizations and progressive minded business men to patronize bank ing institutions employing union clerks. Out of the South came an appeal for help in organizing the unorganized and to build up the state federations

of labor and central bodies so that the economic advancement so necessary in that action will be successful.
 There are millions of office workers in the United States, and because of their unorganized state are overworked and underpaid. They are anxious to unite in order that they may secure the benefits that come from trade unionism.
 There is much work to do in the laundry industry, as many thousands of the women employed are receiving | far less than an adequate wage. The convention directed that every effort be made to aid the office and laundry workers in their efforts to organize. There are at the present time 26 bodies of newspaper writers similar to trade union organizations, and they are located in various cities throughout the country. Every influence should be used to bring these organizations with in the fold.
 Another subject upon which great stress was laid was that of the educa- ton of women to purchase only union articles had been seriously neglected.
 The wage earners of our country are ripe for organization. It will only be necessary for the general organizers of the A. F. of L. to be as alert and active as 1t Is possible for them to be-
 The appeal from so many industries for organization should not be sighted. I am, therefore, urging you in all sim cerity to take account of yourself to see if you can answer the appeals by most intensive and aggressive cam |paign.
 After the war and because of the acute unemployment thousands :, of wage earners were unable to pay their dues. It will not be difficult to con- vince them that because of the know1- edge they gained while members of the benefits of trade unions that they would be of benefit to them now
 General organizers should attend meetings of central bodies and local unions whenever possible and urge the members to greater and greater activ-. ity in organization work.
 Let me assure you that whatever I: can do to aid you in this great human itarian campaign will be done at all times and under all circumstances.
 You have mission which means much to the wage earners of America. May you give every effort that you possess to this end I know that it will require at times personal sacrifice, but the trade union movement was built on sacrifices.
 The struggles have been many, but out of 1t all has come a labor move ment that has brought brighter light and better life to our fellows on the American continent.
 Make this your slogan:
 "Let us build our monument larger and sturdier, both in numbers and in influence"

 Tt was hard to believe that the farmers of North Carolina were so opu1ent that they could afford to make these expenditures, or So bitterly op- posed to the protection of the lives and happiness of their children that they would indulge in the vile misrep- Iresentations with which the advertise ments were filled.
 "So, Labor decided to make an in Ivestigation. It sent staff represent ative to North Carolina, who uncov- cred the following facts:

 Its president is the cashier of a cot ton mill bank Its vice president is an employe of cotton mill store Its chief agent-the man who writes the ads for agricultural papers-is listed in the Charlotte (N. O. city directory as an emp1oye of the Clark Publish ] ing Company.
 "The Clark Publishing Company is owned by David Clark, editor of the Southern Textile Bulletin, organ of the cotton mill owners of the South. MT.

At that time, however, manufacturing was in the second stage of the upward movement and metal manufactures such as instruments and appliances, tools and light metal ware,<as we'll as clothing, were already more active. Now it is the steel and copper mills and railroad equipment which are bringing up the total volume of employment. Textiles are also responsible for part of the improvement and glass, leather and shoes have contributed to small Ter extent
 Average earnings for December were $28.26, the highest since the depres- sion. Men received $31.52, 50 cents more than in November, but this was partly due to the holiday last month. Women averaged $17.13.

"All these cotton mill farmers who are officers of the league admitted to the representative of Labor that the league does not attempt to collect dues from it's members. They were unable to produce any membership roll and they refused to tell where they got the money to pay for their. advertise ments.
 Apparently the only farmers con- nected with the league were two men who had consented to permit their names to be used in connection with the incorporation of hte organization. These farmers are apparently honest, straightforward citizens. They ad- mitted to the representative of Labor that they knew nothing about the league. The yhad permitted the use of their names, they said, because they had been told that it was proposed to pass law which would prevent their children from even doing the chores on the farm !.
 They were assured that they would not be expected to make any financial contribution
 Tt Is perfectly clear from Labor's investigation that the Farmers States Rights League Is fake, organized and financed by the cotton mill owners of the South"
