THREE GO 1900 MILES ON
StO0 And LOTS OF NERVE
New Britain Boys Return Home
After Many Adventures On
Long Journey.

With nothing but an ambition to
rough it,"s100 between them, and
an old broken-dow car that was
fast coming to the end of its days,
William j. Noble, Jr., son of Fire
Chief William j. Noble, Virgin Ma
guire of Black Rock avenue and
Francis Kelley of Garden street
started on a trip through New Eng
land, southern Canada and the mid
die west.
After two weeks OF travel over a
distance estimated at $500 miles
they returned home yesterday in the
same car, but how they were able to
cover the distance will remain a
mystery. During the trip they were
the victim of % punctures, and three
blow-outs. Young Noble, who is a
"whiz" as an automobile mechanic,
had to overhaul the car three times
on the trip. On one occasion ahole
about four inches in diameter was
pierced through the radiator, and
the boys patched it up with a toma-
to can. At one point in the route the
car went half way UP hill and re-
fused to go farther. The boys turned
the car around and went up back
wards.
Climbing hills that made the
Plymouth hill look small in compar-
ison they pldded on until they
reached their final destination
home-with s12 left. They said they
did not enjoy the comforts of bed
at any time during the trip, the car
biting their pace of rest.

POLICE GUARDING
MANVILLE MILLS
Minor Troubles Occur But No
More Serious Rioting

Manville, r. l., Aug. 81 Up -
State troopers and strong force of
deputy sheriffs and local police were
in charge of the Manville-Jenckes
company's textile mills here today,
following a day of disorders prompt
ed by the arrival of strike breakers.
The establishment of dead line
and a threat to read the riot act
ended the most serious disorders,
but fighting between the police and
a large number of the 1900 striking
operatives and sympathizers broke
out last night when man attempt
ed to halt an armored car leaving
the mills.
Several strikers. including a wom-
an, reported they had been dubbed
when officers charged the crowd.
Sporadic stone throwing followed
the outbreak and strong police
guard was held through the night
on rumors of another attempt to fire
the plant.
The arrival of strike breakers in
armored cars Sunday resulted in one
attempt to burn the mill early yes
terday. Flaming rags were hurled
through windows shattered in
previous demonstration, but Police
Chief Finn of Cumberland stamped
out the blaze.
Strike leaders repudiated the ar
son attempt as the work of outsiders
and called on the strikers for order.
Crowds remained about the mill,
however and early yesterday War
rem Sweet, production manager, and
Henry Bouchard, a Waterman, were
caught and beaten.
The strike was called August IS
in protest over the employment of
non-union loomfiXers and last Sat
urday employees of the Social mill in
Woonsocket declared a sympathy
strike. Agitation was begun at the
Manville company's Globe mill in
Woonsocket yesterday for a strike
there. Some employees were re-
ported to have left, but workers said
no general strike would be called
without union sanction.

FREE Speech Up
BEFORE TRIBUNAL
Supreme Court Is Asked TO Make
Important Ruling

Washington, Aug. 81 (P - De-
cisions which may be epoch MAX
ing in their definition of the terms
free speech" and free assembly"
are expected shortly after the Su-
preme Court reconvenes in Octo-
Der.
They will construe the criminal
syndicalism laws of California,
Michigan and Kansas, raised in ap-
peals by Charlotte Anita Whitney,
Chares E. Ruthenberg and Harold
B. Fiske, respectively, who con-
tended that in attempting to regu-
late radical propaganda the states
had overstepped the constitutional
prohibition against restriction of
the inalienable rights of freedom of
speech and of assembly.
Communist Question
The constitution and political
activities of the Communist Labor
party of America, which Miss
Whitney and Ruthenberg were
charged with promoting, and of the
Industrial Workers of the World,
which Fiske was promoting, may
receive more than passing notice in
the opinions. Miss Whitney was con-
yicted for participating in the or
ganization at Oakland of the Cali
fornia branch of the Communist
Labor party, Ruthenberg for hav-
n IN
yention of the party held in the !
sand dunes near Bridgman, Mchi- |
gan and t'iske for working as an
organizer of the l w w in Kansas
recruiting new members.
Miss Whitney commended that her
influence had ben exerted to pre-
vent unlawful acts, although she |
remained in attendance upon the |
convention after it had adopted |
the radical Chicago communist |
platform; Ruthenberg that the
secert convention had been hastily |
disbanded on the eve of raids by |
state and federal agents before any
unlawful acts had been committed |
and Fiske, that the preamble to |
the I w w constitution, which he
was distributing, was not seditious.
State Courts Agree
The state courts of all three
states, in upholding the syndicalism
laws. sustained the contentious ad-
by the prosecution that
in and participation at
meetings of organizations advocat-
ing sabotage, physical violence, ar
son, destruction of property and
other unlawful acts to bring about
a change in the form of govern
ment by the use of force could be
punished without abridging any
constitutional right. The defend
ants contended unsuccessfully that
overt acts, and not mere member
ship in organizations must be made
he measure in determining guilt.
