HORTICULTURAL
GENIUS EXPIRES
AVOWING ATHEISM
Burbank's Death Hur-
ried by Fanatic Protests

SANTA ROSA, Calf, April II -
Luther Burbank, world famous bottom
list, passed away in his garden home,
Death came after an illness of sew
eral weeks. He expired in his sleep,
Burbank was n years of age.
Affirms Atheism.
At the beginning of his last illness
Burbank had affirmed that he could
not believe in a life after death. His
life work as a scientist had made it
impossible for him to accept the
tenets OF a superstition that rests on
faith and not fact. Unlike many other
scientists whose work brings them to
this conclusion, Burbank frankly de-
Chased that he was an infidel.
1.-THE universe is not big enough to
contain all the human souls and other
living beings who have been here for
a short span. A theory of personal
resurrection or reincarnation is un.
tenable," Burbank said.
Letters and kilograms of protest
from thousands of blue nosed fanatics
thruout the country came to Burbanks
bedside. The agitation caused him in
maintaining his stand FASTENED his
death.
Contributions.
Burbank contributed inestimable
services to mankind. Hundreds of new
species of plants, flowers made more
beautiful, vegetable foods and fruits
improved, are the gifts of Burbank's
lifelong and tireless labors.

Green and hlIfers Confer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April ~. -
Henry F. Hilfers, secretary OF the New
Jersey State GFederationt Of Labor,
discussed the Passaic strike situation
with President Green of the American
Federation of Labor while, he was in
Washington to argue before a senate
committee on light wines and beers.
Hilfers refused to make public his
statement to Green. The result Of the
conference was that Green declared
that the American Federation of La
Dor would not attempt any organiza.
ton drive among the 10000 textile
workers until the strike had become
ancient history. Green declares that
no aid will be offered the strikers and
that no appeal will be made to the
federal mediators by either Hilfers or
Green.
Seab Ads In Federatlonist.
This action Of Green may be &C
counted for when one reads the scab
by advertisements in the American
Federationist. Since the strike start
ed the Botany worsted Mills, one Of
the worst open shops in the PassaiC
district, and the United Piece Dye
Works have had their advertisements
placed In the American Federationist
The magazine of the United Textile
Workers Union, part OF the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor, regularly
carries the ads OF the scab Passaic
Gera, Botany and Forstmann-H HUFF
mann mills making over $500 month
on them.
Green Fears Organization Drive.
This may explain why Green OF the
American Federation OF Labor and
Mcmahon OF the United Textile Work
ers Union do not want to organize
the 10000 textile strikers who have
called on the American Federation Of
Labor several times to organize the
vast mass Of unorganized workers in
the textile industry
