COTTON WORKERS
STRIKE over NUMBER
TENDERS AT ADAMS

Adams, Mass, June 21-(P)-Half
Of this towns working population
was without employment today as
result of a strike of 1900 employees of
the Berkshire Cotton Company, the
towns largest industry. After oper-
per cent of the normal working force
the company suspended operations.
The strike grew out of an attempt
of the mill to increase the number Of
frames operated by speeder tenders
from two to three. Forty workers
went on strike q week ago and were
informed that they were discharl ed.
The Polish Weavers' Union declared
the strike today in sympathy.
The strike, which is the first In
Adams in several years, was entirely
peaceful. During the forenoon pick
cts were stationed at the gates of the
big mill plant but in the afternoon
they were withdrawn. All of the
workers came to the gates as usual
this morning but comparatively few
went in. An hour after the factory
opened the company announced it's
intention to suspend. The mill, which
manufactures umbrella cloth, rayon
and various grades of cotton has
been on a five day a week schedule
for some time.
j. r. Simpson of Fall River, agent
of the American Federation of Tex
tile Workers, was here today in
charge of the strike. He declared that
speeder tenders would be unable to
operate three frames, make satisfac-
tory wages and do good work. The
mill officials contended that it would
be easy TO operate, another frame or
they would not have required the
change

the treasury should end next year
with a surplus of $1S5, 100000 and

promise additional tax reduction on
the basis of these figures, Mr.. Cool

that the state of our finances justi-

tax question, which has aroused
considerable discussion recently In

maine MAN WITH
MANY WEAPONS
is held AT BOSTON

Boston, June 21-(P)-An unloaded
revolver, several pieces of iron pipe
and double edged stiletto led to the
arrest today of Roger Mason, q, of
Wilson Mills, Me. They also caused
busy Northwestern street to fill with
a crowd excited by rumors of a band
it gang, through which a policeman
pushed with his gun at the ready"
Mason came from Maine yesterday
and spent the night with friends in
East Boston. Today he and his couS-
in, Ernest Mason, with two girl COM
panions, Mary Friend and Elsie Cole,
nurses at the Homeopathic Hospital,
started on a ride to Marblehead in
Rogers automobile. The car ran out
of gasoline in North Washington
street and while Ernest was gone for
more fuel his cousin found an empty
revolver in a pocket of the machine
and showed it to the girls. A by
stander saw visions Of an impending
holdup and fetched Patrolman Au-
gustine Cannon. A crowd quickly
gathered and Cannon came running
with drawn revolver.
Seach of the automobile revealed
the sections of pipe. which Roger Ma
son said were tire irons, and the sti-
letto, which he explained he had
sharpened up to give one of the girls
for a paper cutter. He could not eX-
plain the revolver and Cannon after
searching Roger and the now returned
Ernest, ordered the former to drive
him to the station house.
After questioning there Roger was
held in $500 bail for n hearing to-
morrow, and the others were re-
leased.

ASK REASONABLE
RAIL RATE ON SOFT
COAL IN N. ENGLAND

Atlantic City, N. j., June 2i.-[P]--
New England felt prices had been
held up on hard coal and real relief
was short, E. w. Goss, of Waterbury
Conn.,, a member of the New England
governors fuel commission, today
testified before the interstate COM
merce commission officials, who met
here to consider the fixing of freight
rates on bituminous.
I'VE are endeavoring to get away
from the anthracite monopoly that
has gripped u.s." he said in explana-
ton of the demand for a reasonable
freight rate on all rail transportation
of soft coal from mines.
The annual New England coal bill
for household consumption amounts
to $125,000,000, representing the cost
of 100000 tons, of coal. One nalf
of that coal Is burned in Massachu-
sets and one quarter of it in Con-
necticut. A demand for soft coal was
set up during the recent anthracite
strike and the New Englanders want
to continue using it SO that in the
event of another strike they will not
suffer from lack of fuel
In fact, Mr.. Goss said. the impress
sion is that, if machinery for supply
ing sufficient soft coal is set up, the
chances of having another emer-
gency in the hard coal region will be
removed. New England, he said,
wants to buy whatever fuel she can
obtain and she wants competition to
get the advantage of reasonable
rates.
The witness was asked If he knew
New England already had the bene-
fit of rate of delivery of coke by
an all-rail route and replied affirm
atively. But, he added, New Eng
land could not get relief by substi-
tuting coke for anthracite in times
of emergency since the price of coke
jumped to excessive rates during the
recent strike.

ENDORSE GOV. CHRISTIANSON'S
ECONOMY PLAN

AT next Mondays primaries the
people of Minnesota will be called up
on to choose between Governor Theo-
dore Christensen, a tried public SER
want of the state, and Mayor George
Leach, of Minneapolis, as the repub-
lican candidate for governor.
Gov. Christensen is standing on
his record in asking for a second
term nomination. In the last CAM
paign he advocated a change in op-
Grating of the states business which
would put the various departments ON
a business basis. He forced this
law through legislature and while
the plan has been in operation too
short a time to effect any marked re-
duction in expenses, the plan is
sound and he should be given another
term to carry out his ideas.
Mayor Leach is attacking the econ
omies of Gov. Christianson but he
has not offered any practical plan to
improve conditions.
Mayor Leach is a standing candi.
date for office. He was a splendid
soldier an the Worlds War and his
supporters are said to be endeavoring
to make political capital out of his
service. The Herald does not pre-
tend to know how the eX-Service mer
feel in other portions of the State,
but it is apparent that the Sank Cen
tire veterans are very largely fol-
Gov. Christianson.
Mr.. Leach's friends have also at.
tempted to inject the "wet" and "dry''
element into the campaign. The gov
ernor of Minnesota can do no more
than any private citizen to change
conditions. The 18th amendment was
enacted by over two-thirds of the
States of the Union and any modif-
cation of the Volstead act must be
made by congress, and congress only
The people of this section of
Stearns county were strongly for
Gov. Christensen two years ago, both
at the primary and the general cleo
ton. From conclusions drawn after
investigation the Herald is of the
opinion Sank Centre citizens are still
decidedly friendly to him.
The only thing which endangers the
nomination of Gov. Christianson next
Monday by splendid majority is a
light vote. The opposition will all
be out.
Sank Centres and this section of
the county has a candidate for the
state Senate in DIR. Dubois and this
should bring out large vote in this
section.
One of your perogatives and obi
cations as an American citizen is to
exercise your right of suffrage at the
ballot box on all occasions.
Do not neglect this duty at Mon
days primary.
