Strike Eight Weeks;
75 PiCkGtS Attacked

The window cleaners strike is now
in it's eighth week with all the mod
ern forces of strike-breaking pitted
against the workers, according to Of
ficials of the Window Cleaners Pro-
tective Union. They report that
more than rs sluggings and assaults
on pickets have taken place since the
beginning of the strike and that
thousands of dollars have been spent
for bail fees due to arrests Of pickets
and strikers on framed-up charges,
which in nearly all cases have been
dismissed.
There have been some settlements
with individual employers and those
men who are at work have volunteer
cd to pay $40 a week out Of their
wages for the support of the strike
This amounts to nearly s., 900 a week
Donations from sympathetic labor
unions also help to support the strik-
ing workers and their families. Re
cent donations have been received
from Workmens' Circle branches 112.

ina, Italian organizer for the Inter-
national Labor Defense. Rose Baron,
local secretary of the International
Labor Defense, presided.
A collection of S22O.5O was taken.
A resolution adopted with prolong-
ed applause charged that the Greco
GARLIC case was a frame up
planned by the Fascist League of
North America, the American
branch of the fascist military organ
ization of Italy," and charged the
league was financed by the Italian
fascist party.
Bail Denied.
The resolution also cited the need
less length of time Greco and Carrillo
have been in prison" They have been
held without bail in the Bronx Coun-
ty Jail since July IL.
"The two workers are innocent of
the crime with which they are
charged, as has been stated and
proved in various New York news
papers," the resolution adds.
The resolution demands that the
Bronx authorities give the two ian
equitable trial from which all anti
labor and fascist elements shall be

sas anti-cigarette law was repealed on
June /. inmates of the institution
have clamored daily for tobacco, but
have been met with steadfast refusals
on the part Of the authorities.
Just why prisoners In Kansas or in
any other State should feel that they
are entitled to smoke and enjoy the
other comforts and luxuries of life Is
difficult to fathom. They are not on
vacation; they are supported by the
State behind bars for the protection
of its citizens. They are not free in
any sense Of the word, and 1t is absurd
for them to believe that they are en-
titled to anything but bare existence
during their incarceration.
AS matter of fact. If only q bare
living We're granted all convicts the
penal institutions of the country
would probably be good deal less
crowded than they are today. A visit
to one of the Federal penitentiaries
would soon convince the skeptical that
possibly two.thirds of the inmates are
living a far cleaner. comfortable and
better life than they have ever ex.
perienced In the world of freedom
They are allowed a limited quantity
of almost anything they care to buy
at the prisoners stores. They roam
almost at will through large and spa
cious grounds. Their food is whole.
some and their existence Is sanitary
in every respect. They are enabled to
learn a trade and are we'll equipped. If
they care to be. to carry on when they
are released. In fact. the attitude of
a person who had lost loved one
through the criminal activities Of one
of the inmates would be that they
were enjoying a far finer life than
they deserve.
Nobody wishes for a return of the
insanitary, evil-smelling and dis
reputable jail Of the past. Sanitation
and decent conditions are universally
desired. But there it should stop. No
luxuries and no comforts, and nothing
to make the life of the convict ap-
peal to any one with a normal mind.
1t is unfortunate that in some cases
the pampering Of criminals has reach
ed such a point that the humiliation
of imprisonment is all that is suffered
by the inmate of an institution and to
many this Is no suffering at all. So
by all means let the prisoners be with
out luxuries. Then the repeater on
the criminal ledger will not look with
comparative contentment to a "short
stretch" in Jail, but will avoid it as
he would the plague.

No Gates-Four Dead.

A lhan drove a motor car upon n
railroad grade crossing in the town
of Oyster Bay, n. Y. yesterday. There
were no gates to bar him and no

of the approach of a train. The cross

train became panic-stricken. The train
hit the car and took four lives. One
occupant, a boy, escaped with slight
injuries.
After an investigation, the coroner
said that the accident appeared to
have been unavoidable and that there
was no evidence of criminal negli-
gence. The crossing is an open" one,
with full view of the tracks from the
road approach. The driver could have
seen the train before he advanced
upon the tracks. Hence the liability
was his only.

ing without gates or Waterman, with
a rough, bumpy and car-stalling paw
ing across the tracks, was accepted
by the public as satisfactory. But
surely there was negligence. whether
criminal or otherwise, on the part of
somebody in authority in permitting
such death trap to remain in that
condition.
1t is sadly true that many people
are using the roads daily who do not
observe sufficient caution in crossing
railroad tracks, who do not "stop, look
and listen" upon approaching grade
crossings. And because it is true,
there should be an exceptional care in
the maintenance Of such places in con-
ditions that forestall the folly Of the
drivers. A grade crossing in a popu.

Let some consideration be given to
the fact that even though drivers may
be prone to take chances, their pas

If one were limited to 10 plants for
his flower garden. what choice should
be made from the infinite variety
Nature offers?
Such a selection not only would
have theoretical value. it would have
great practical application as we'll.
since it might serve as guide to am
ateur gardeners.
One danger faced by the new gar
dener is cluttering up his yard with
too many kinds of flowers, many of
which will not prove satisfactory.
While such experimenting is valua-
BILE. there are many persons who do
not care to waste their time, labor
and money in such promiscuous plant
ings.
TO know the 10 best plants, as seen
by another who has experimental

thought in mind, we recently took
stock of plants, and came to a de-
cision.
Let it be admitted. here and now,
that probably no two persons would
make the same selection, at least en-
tirely, although no doubt most of the
plants would meet with approval, If
not with whole hearted backing.

The grass has been given first place
since it must be the background for
everything else in a garden.
Too commonly, grass is given second
or third consideration, when the lawn
should come first, not only in point
of time, but also in thought at all
times.
What sets off home so we'll as a
fine lawn?
Not even shrubs make" the home
picture so much as does plenty of
thick, healthy grass, of a deep color
Probably the average home owner, if
his plot be not too large, will get bet
ter results from sod.
No amount of shrubbery or flowers
will make up for lack of grass. A
place with poor grass always will have
moth-eaten appearance.

The prettiest flower that grows is
the prettier for being seen over n
stretch of lawn. Grass goes" with
every color in the rainbow. There Is
no "clashing" here. The grass accen-
tuates the pink of the rose and the
yellow Of the marigold, and makes the
red of the saliva deeper.
A garden that excludes grass, in
some measure, at least, is much too
exclusive for us.
Roses surely come next.

Army. Gen. Wood retired to become
governor general Of the Philippines.
In 1920, his friends demanded his
nomination on the Republican ticket
for President. At the Chicago con.
vention In that year, Gen. Wood was
supported by a large block of dele.
gates, and with Lowden and Hiram
Johnson composed the big three"
of that meeting. After the nomina.
ton of President Harding as q COM
promise candidate, Gen. Wood made
special trip to Marion, Ohio, to
pledge his support to Mr.. Harding in
the campaign for the general election.
Gen. Wood, a close friend of the
late President Roosevelt, won repu.
tation not only as a soldier, but as an
administrator. In both Cuba and the
Philippines he demonstrated great
ability when he was ordered to clean
up and to restore order. 1t was be.
cause of these administrative quail
ties and his known courage and tact
that Gen. Wood was selected to re.
turn to the Philippines in 1921.
The Philippines present difficult
problem to the United States at best.
To abandon them to their own devices
by giving them independence would
be neither kind nor wise. To hold
them means a constant and difficult
task of administration. On the other
hand, the islands are of value to the
United States In the development of
its trade with the Far East. II Gen.
Wood is to return no more as gov
ernor general. his successor must be
chosen with care.
