owned sheriff, Don Chain, murdered
union miners and Kurowksi called
upon the miners to organize and
strike for better conditions.

that the Lewis machine send organ

The machine, unable to resist this
demand on the part of the miners
that organizers be sent, sent organ
izers to Logan. These organizers
stopped at one of the hotels and did
not get into connection with the
miners Immediately. The day after
they had arrived in Logan they were
served with an injunction restraining
them from carrying on union organ
ization work. The organizers allowed
themselves tofbe driven from Logan
without organizing single man.
Refuse TO Stop Work.
Comrade Kurowski did not stop his
work. He carried on with redoubled
vigor calling on his fellow workers to
fight against the bosses. The bosses
seeing that thru the activities of Com
rade Kurowski, the sentiment for a
union was increasing and that sooner
or later the miners would strike for
better condition, fired him. Not salts
fed with just throwing him out of
his job, they arrested him, beat him
up and then threw him into a filthy
jail.

Canadian Unions Split
fro m Internationals
Forming Independents

OTTAWA, Can.-(FP)-The move
ment for Canadian unions independent
of the A. F. of L. appears to be grow
ing. The two recently reported splits
among the boilermakers and CONNER
cial telegraphers have borne fruit in
new unions. The boilermakers are or
ganizing as locals of the Canadian
Brotherhood of Railway Employees
and two new charters are reported
applied for, one in Montreal and the
other in Sherbrooke, Que. The com
mercial telegraphers have formed the

Canada. Henry Lynch, lately general
chairman in the Canadian National
Telegraph division of the C. T. U. A,
is head of the new body.

'coNowINGo POWER PROJECT

Conowingo has taken on new life
since the beginning of the pre-
liminary work last week, on the big
power project at that point on the
'SuSquehanna river.
The Offices of the Arundel Cor
poration and Stone & Webster have
been besieged with applicants for
employment, and it has been a big
problem to find boarding places and
sleeping quarters for the army of
workers pouring in, every available
room in the homes in the neighbor-
hood having been rented.
This situation will of course be
relieved as soon as the buildings
which are being erected for living
quarters by the contractors are
completed.
The Arundel Corportion has
charge of the work on the Cecil
county side of the river of the river,
and included in its contract is the
relocation of roads and other State
owned properties, the removal of
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad
from their present location to a
point on the bluffs above the river,
the building of temporary con-
railroad and the erection
of houses for labor and materials.

THE DEADLY REVOLVER
Life OF Lad snuffed Out BY
Careless Handling OF

y WcstIbOH
A distressing accident, which re-
suited in the death of bright and
promising lad, occurred at the Lower
School. of Tome Institute, Port De-
posit, on Tuesday AFTERNOON.
Elwood Crothers, aged Is, son OF
Harvey Crothers, of Liberty Grove,
had taken a 32-caliber automatic
revolver to the school and had it
repaired in the manual training
department by the instructor, Prof
Aldrich.
During the absence of the in
structor young Crothers placed a
cartridge in the revolver to try it.
The weapon was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet penetrating the
abdomen of Harold Taylor Reese,
aged, 1S years, classmate of
Crothers. The accident happened
about $3.50 O'Clock in the afternoon.
The wounded lad was hurried to
Richards Hospital, where he was
operated on, in an attemut to save
his life.
The operation revealed five pune
lures of the intestines, and little
hope was entertained for the re-
covery of the sufferer, who finany
passed away at eleven O'Clock We'd
nesday morning. The death and
the unfortunate circumstances sur
rounding it, cast gloom over the
school and the entire neighborhood.
Harold Taylor Reese was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer j. Reese, of
near Colora. He was general
favorite with his companions, a
bright student and popular in the
school. His untimely death is
deeply deplored. His parents, one
brother and two sisters survive.
Funeral services will be held at
the home of his parents on Satur-
day, March 20, at 200 p. m. Inter
ment West Nottingham Presbyterian

CHIMNEY FIRES

A chimney fire called the chemical
apparatus of the Community Fire
Company to the home of Mrs. Geo.
s. Dare, on East Main street, Satur-
day afternoon. The services of the
firemen were not peeded, however
as the liberal use of salt on the fire
in the kitchen range and down the
chimney soon quenched the burning
SCOT.
Two chimney fires occurred in
town on Wednesday. The first one
about eleven O'Clock in the morn
ing, at the home of, Elwood Brown,
on S. Queen street. Chief Donache
and other members of the Fire
Company, who were working about
the engine house, short distance
away, went to the scene with a
chemical extinguisher and soon put
out the blaze.
About 1880 O'Clock in the evening
thes chemical engine was called to
the home of Mrs. j. G. Hindman, on
West Main street, where SCOT in a
chimney was ablaze. The fire was
extinguished without any damage
being done. Alarms were not
sounded in either case.
