Protest Meetings Are
Being Held

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. ts.-The
International Labor Defense, issued
the following statement in which II
announces that it is organizing a
vigorous campaign against the arbi-
trary action of the state police in
breaking up a peaceful meeting of
miners held in Republic, Pa, January
oath. It will also begin state wide
campaign for the repeal of the So
called Flynn antl-sedition law Of
Pennsylvania.
The issue involved in this case the
statement points out is the right Of
the workers to organize and the right
of freedom Of speech and assembly
which is guaranteed by the constitu-
ton of the United States. 1t is a
question whether the coal operators
should be allowed to use the state
police to prevent the miners from
organizing into unions.
Fight sedition Law.
The anti-sedition law itself is moth
ing but a strike breaking and union
smashing instrument created during
the war hysteria. Under this law any
workers organization may be declared
outlawed and its members put in Jail.
This law must be combatted by all
means so that it will be repealed.
The state police at the preliminary
hearing before Squire McComb of
New Salem plainly stated that they
were after Papcun since the last
strike in Thompson No. and Thomp-
son No. in which he took leading
part" Such an outrage as happened in
Republic could only have happened in
the old days of czarist Russia.
There is a squire in Republic whose
office is located nearby the hall where
the arrest took place. Yet Papcun
was taken over to New Salem where
the squire is known to be more closely
associated with the state police and
the coal operators.
Governor Pinchot is investigating
the arrest in Republic and the case
will be fought to a finish.
Meetings Arranged.
The campaign will begin with a
series Of mass meetings, one meeting
will be held az the Mono9gehela Hall,
on High St, South Brownsville, Sa-
turday, Feb. goth, p. m. Another
meeting will be held in Uniontown at
the Creation Hall, on Franklin St.. on
Sunday, Feb.l21st, 2 p. m. Still another
meeting will be held in Republic at
the Creation Hall, where the last
meeting was broken up by the state
police. This meeting will be held on
Sunday, Feb. 21st., p. m.
Among the speakers scheduled to
address the meetings are: D. E. Early
of Chicago, and Chas w. Fulp, pres
ident of Local Union 2012.

NEW CONTEST FOR
 BOY SCOUT TROOPS
Competition Effective at Court
 Of Honor Meeting

A new inter-troop contest Is be- ing planned by the New Britain Boy Scout council and will go into effect with the session of the court of honor which will be held to- morrow night. The contest Is one of advancement, each merit badge passed each boy reaching second or first class rank, and each ten- derfoot enrolled counting certain number of points for the troop 10 which he belongs. A similar con- test was carried out year ago, Troop 4 of the Center church win ming the cup offered.
 This time the troops will be on percentage basis, the number of ponits earned being divided by the number of active scouts in the troop. This is devised to give the small troops a chance equal to that of the larger ones. A bronze placque will be awarded to the winner oi each thrce- months period, to bf held during the ensuing quarter oI until won away by another troop
 Preparations are now going for ward for the annual city meet ant field day, which will be held al Walnut Hill park in about two months. Several troops have begnr practice, the rules are being clari'

 Gregory was last heard from in October, Mir, Groehl said, After making the affidavit, he worked in Detroit, was ill in a hospital and thon dropped out of sight.
 Identified Chapman
 His affidavit was said 10 describe q visit to Wethershold prison last April, when he was allowed to look through guarded pcep-holo in a cell door. and picked out Chapman from among threo prisoners as the man who rode 10 New York by train with him on the evening before 1 Skelly was killed.
 The second new witness rode from l Grand Central station toward Brook lyn on the subway with Chapman soon after the arrival of the train, ! tho attorney said,
 The third witness according to | Alr. Groehl saw the policcman's mur- dcrer escape. He did not come for ward at the first trial because do" nestle complications" would have cnsued had his presence in New Britain at the time been known.
 Other witnesses at Chapman's first trial testified he was in Brook lyn the night before the murder and until o'clock the next morning, five hours before Skelly was killed.
 The Last Chance
 IT the missing Gregory is not found, Ray VI. Wiley of Springfield, Mass, one of the defense counsel, hopes to petition the United States supreme court again, on the single issue that Chapman did not receive q fair trial.
 The supreme court recently ruled Chapman could not refuse the com mutation of his federal sentence for mail robbery, granted by President Coolidge so he could hang for the crime in Connecticut.
 An echo of the mall robbery for which Chapman first gained notor- icty was heard in Philadelphia yes- torday when Judge Davis in federal court gave peromptory instructions to acquit Emmons J. Gardner, a dealer in securities accused of aiding in the disposition of S300,000 in se- curitics stolen by Chapman's band.

 Racial Boundaries
 While the Republic of Turkcs- tan functioned, the Soviet authorities at Moscow sent scientific missions to Central Asia to map out the racial distribution of the population, Fol l lowing this work the latest states were formed and are supposed to be erected primarily along racial lines. The dominant, though not the larg- est state, Is Uzbolilstan, or the Cz- bek Socialist Soviet Republic. This unit ia supposcd' 10 cover the terr- tory of tho U2berg population, and takes in most of old Bokhara as well as parts of pamir Syr Daria, KhiVa and the southern Trans-Caspian dis trict, The southern boundary of this new state touches Afghanistan along its entire length, while the western end lies north of Persia. From the extreme .castern part of tsbckiStan Is carvcs 4hG Autonomous district of the TaY'ik tribes. A part of this district E'-,t formerly Pamir. U2be- kistan contains the important cities of Merv. Bokhara Khiva, Samark- and, Khojcnd, and Tashkent,
 Touching Uzbekistan on the east and occupying much of the Pamir tabloland is the Autonomous terri. tory of Kara Kirghizia. This is the region of the Kirghiz mountain Cossacks.
 "Turkmenistan, the land of the Turkomans, lies 10 the west of Uzbe- kistan, and between that state and the Caspian sea, IL thus lies wholly north of Persia. It is made up of the southwestern portion of the Trans Caspian district and the southwest ern corner of Khiva.

 "All the remainder of the old Central Asiatic Provinces, lying north of the new states described above, constitute the Kirghiz Social. ist Soviet Republic, or Kirghizia.

MRS. KRESGE WINS
 POINTS IN SUIT
Settlement Makes Her Independ-
 ent for Life

New York, March 22 R.-An agreement purely and solely on spiritual plane" not influenced by any marital consideration, induced Mrs. Doris Mercer Kresge to drop her suit against her husband, Se- bastian s. Kresge for s1,000,000 worth of stock which she alleged he promised her in Q pre-nuptual contract.
 The agreement also made Mrs. Kresge financially independent for life.
 These points were revealed in a statement issued last night over MT. Kresge's signature, the first author ized version Of the terms upon which Mrs. Kresga withdrew her suit last Friday.
 Though MT. Kresge's statement,-- issfed through Mrs. Kresges at torney,--did not specify the mone- tary terms of the settlement, it said Mrs. Kresge's right in certain shares of $. s. Krcsge's stocks has been confirmed, thereby making Mrs. Kreske independent for the rest of her life"
 The settlement was effected, the statement said. in order to "avoi1 widening the breach already eX- istent" between MT. and Mrs Kresge. and "to prevent the airing of domestic grievances in court room"
 Mir. Kresee stated that he had Imposed TO conditions whatsoever upon his wife as basis for recon ciliation."
 Mrs. Kresgo was suing for $500 shares of stock. Since the with drawal Of the suit it has been re- their marital, as well as financial difficulties. Mir. Kresge's statement did not mention this If did say Mrs. Kresge was "extremely unsel- fish" in the negotiations. and con- cured in the opinion of those re- sponsible for the settlement that the settlement should not be influenced by any marital consideration, but should be based purely and solely on spiritual plane"
