and announces that she will stack
her climate. hotel accommodations
and recreation facilities against
any other summer resort in the
U. S. A., irrespective of latitude,
longitude, altitude or what-not.
Indicating her faith in her abil-
ity to prove this proposition to the
summer vacationing public, forty
five of her hotels are remaining
open this year to welcome mid
summer visitors. A special sched-
ule of rates will put these accom-
modations within reach of all.
In this competition with north
ern resorts for the summer tour
ist, Miami is featuring her part
nership with the Gulf Stream
which keeps a constant breeze fan
ming the city. Statistics of the U.
S. Weather Bureau also are pro-
duced to show that. thanks to these
trade winds, Miami has a lower
maximum summer temperature
than any other resort in the coun,
try. Gorgeous nights and days
cooled by the trade winds, with
surf bathing, golfing. fishing and
dustless motoring are few OF the
inducements cited

steamship lines from New York,

ing Miami the southern terminus
of an ocean excursion, with ample
playtime stop-over privileges. are
expected to lure many. Excursion
rates on de luxe trains also are
provided.
Not the least of the attractions
Miami promises her midsummer
visitors is the chance to see a me-
tropolis in the making. A build
ing program of $200,000,O00 is in
full swing, and the world is invited
to "come down and see American
creative genius at work"
Resort cities generally are
watching with undisguised interest
this latest move by Miami to create
a year-round resort in the Ameri-
can tropics. If she succeeds-and
she has no other thought than that
of success-she probably will win
a new name for herself Miami
suggests the name might be "The
Wonder City. Some of her rivals,
however, hint they think she should
be called "Ihe Vamp Of Biscayne

Against the Union Men
in California

Fresno, Calf. - "The Indus
trial Association of the bay dis
trict is responsible for the law
lessness and crime which is de-
plored and denounced by the
public press" declares the Tri-
County Labor News in an article
describing the methods used by
the anti-union American plan
employers to break the carpen-
ters' strike and destroy the lab
or unions of San Francisco and
Oakland.
The Labor News charges that the
Industrial Association, which is the
anti-union employers organization
plan," while parading before the pub
llc its consecration to law and order,
deliberately employs criminals, thugs,
gunner, gangsters and eX-convicts to
herd strikebreakers and assault trade
| unionists.
"With hardly an exception, strike
breakers and guards employed by the
Industrial Association, when arrested,
have been found to be armed with
either blackjacks, brass knuckles or
! pistols, and in some cases with all
three" declares the Labor News.
Armed strikebreakers, EMPLOYED
by the Industrial Association, are be-
ing used to spy upon and harass un-
ion carpenters.
( These American plan hirelings,
armed, are driving about the streets
of San Francisco and the bay cities,
threatening and intimidating union

qualification is that they are non-un-

AT the present time 80 per cent
OF the construction jobs in San Fran

Soclatlon is using every means at it's

and to employ armed guards and

Not content with her conquest Of
the Tired Business Man. who each
winter seeks her warm caresses,
Miami. Florida, is now setting her
cap to capture the heart of the
midsummer vacationist, hitherto
accustomed to carry on his f1irta-
tions at some northern camp or
resort.
With coquettish naivete Miami
announces that the winter tourist
hasn't won a monopoly of her
heart at all. Indeed. she has re-
vealed to him only a small fraction
of her charms! Really to under
stand her, to love her, she sug-
gests. one must know her all the
year round. In winter she may
seem alluring and seductive by con-
trast with the frigidity of the
North. But after all it is in her
midsummer ardor that she is most
desirable.
All of which is by way of intro
0ucing the fact that Miami, here
tofore regarded chiefly as a winter
resort. has shicd her hat into the
ring OF summer vacationing places

Up 10 1916 private insurance COM
panies issued the policies under the
workmens' compensation act. Since
1916 the exclusive state fund system
has been in operation.
"The advantages of compensation
act such as we have in Nova Scotia"
declares the report, 'is well illustrat-
ed by a comparison of the rates under
such an act with the rates of private
insurance companies that were writ
ing casualty insurance prior to 1917
'Under the old compensation act of
1910, the limit of an employers liza
billty for any one accident was 81 800.
Under the present act there have been
cases where the cost of a single acci-
dent was over $4,000.
"For the purpose of making a COM
parison of the rates of private insur-
ance companies who issued policies
protecting employers under the old
act with the rates of assessment un-
der the present act number of pol
icies were obtained from employers.
Notwithstanding that the compen-
sation payable under the present act
is several times greater than under
the old act. the boards rates in 1925
were lower in nearly every case than
the insurance companies rates in
1916, the year before the new act
came into force.
''In many states of the United
States private insurance COM
panies are permitted to do busi-
ness in competition with state
boards.
'In 1924, 63 casualty companies
incurred losses on account of ac-
cidents amounting to S245.O00.-
900.
'The expenses of those COM
panies in connection with the
casualty insurance amounted to
$216,000,000.
"The expensese were SO per
cent of the losses.
"That means that those COM
panies would have to collect $189
in order to pay out $100.
"In Nova Scotia the expense
ratio for nine years is 8.38 per
cent, saving of over 80 per cent
in the expense ratio.
eff the compensation business
in Nova Scotia had been carried
on by private insurance COM
panies for the past nine years, it
would have cost the employers of
the province S6,336 900 more than
the amount paid to the board,
without any increase in benefits
to the workmen."
During the nine years operation of
the present act the board has paid
$4,449,762 to injured workers or their

Two among about dozen

the old-time plan of battering a
hole in the ancient brick wall
with a heavy plank and crawling
out to freedom.

granted him.
The Jail breaking stunt was
not discovered until some time
after it occurred when someone
passing by happened to notice
the hole in the wall and phoned
to the patrol house. Officers
were soon on hand, but the fel-

TOLERANCE is URGED

Richland Centre, Wis.-Tolerance
in politics was urged by State Treas
urer Levitan in an address here. He
said unfair criticism and mud sling
ing deter many men from running for
office, and that prejudice figures
largely in our balloting.
"Race, religion and political creeds
are made the determining factors,
rather than fitness of men for office" !"
he said. "When we learn to judge
men and measures in the light of
public good and from that standpoint
only, then we shall have fairness in
politics and a better administration
of government in state and nation"

"This report shows clearly why the
mills prefer to establish and maintain
separate schools for the children of
their employes-in order to avoid
paying for a better education.

Dreadful Sound Is
Scream of Dog-Fox

A few times In a lifetime one may
hear fox scream, probably the most
sinister, unearthly wild animal note
that can be heard in North America.
The howl of the wolf and the screech
of the wildcat are all weird sounds,
to say nothing Of the dreadful shrek
which the great horned owl sometimes
gives, but none Of them begin to be
so fearsome as the scream of a dog
fox. The sound is so rare and dread
full as that screech of the wounded
horse which frightened even Hawkeye
and Chingachuck.
once heard the sound in Cornwall,
Conn, one frosty evening in the fall
of 1919. Although / was indoors at
the time, the scream brought me to
my feet with every muscle tense, even
though / recognized almost immediate
ly what it was. If there ever was
sound which is the essence of pure
horror it is the scream of fox.
The last time / heard one perform
was a year or so ago. number Of
us were stopping at camp built in
u p4uc SIONc Acdl Tic AAfCh. <AAeC-
supper a friend and myself followed
a dim path through the woods TO a
bluff above the stream which showed
a dusky silver among the deep laven-
der shadows. AS we walked, the white
mist met us like a ghost and below
we could hear the faint splash of the
deer crossing the stream.
Then, SO distant that it sounded like
a pin-point Of sound pricked through
the silence, came the boot Of great
horned owl, with its double second
note as he hunted here and there for
rabbits among the scrub oaks, Sud
denly, the silence was broken by a
perfectly appalling scream, coming
through the darkness from the farther
bank Of the river.
My companion, although veteran
naturalist, gripped my arm so tightly
that his flnger-prints showed black
against the skin next day. He
claimed afterward that he only did
so to call my attention to the sound
q quite unnecessary proceeding. Sam
