 Seized Around Neck.
 Weiss, an expert swimmer, swan towards the girls, who at once seiz- cd him about the neck and the three went below the surface, where he succeeded in breaking their holds and again tried to bring them to the overturned boat. The girls battled with him fiercely and after a strug gle of about 80 minutes, he abandon cd the attempt and made for the shore seeking help.
 Autoist Speeds Past.
 He leaped to the road and waved his arms at a passing automobile but the driver of the car refused to stop. No one was in the vicinity at that hour of the night and Weiss again dove into the water in q final at tempt to rescue his companions. one of whom had disappeared by this time.
 The high sea together with the darkness made his task almost i'm possible and finally he gave up the search. Returning to the shore he finally summoned Mosey King. Yale boxing instructor and Dr. M.

to resist the attacks of the employers

these exploiters.

auxiliary of the industrial and political

whole program at the convention will
go in this direction.
