"HE fakirs of India, who for cen
 turies have thrived on the cred = ulity and superstition of their countrymen, are beginning to lose faith in their own magic.
 And they are turning to the magic Of the white man to bolster up their totter- ing caste and perpetuate their control or the ignorant millions who live and suder and die in that unhappy land.
 Finding their public losing interest in their capers, and their revenues falling of, they have formed labor union.
 East may be East, and West may be West, as Mr. Kipling said, but an idea has no nationality, not if there's money in it, and there's not subway guard in Manhattan, an iron puddler in Pittsburgh, Or packing-house hand in Chicago more interested in higher pay and shorter hours than the picturesque charlatans who do their stuff on 1ndia's coral strand.
 Dominated entirely by natives, the fakirs' union may, without fear of con- tradiction, be said to be the worlds strangest labor organization.
 It was in Hardwar that they started to organize, but already there are '1o- calls" forming in half dozen other cities with unpronouncable names.
 Cablegrams received in New York from Calcutta state that the aims of the union are much the same as the aims of other unions. In a general way, the purpose of the organizers is to secure to the fakirs better remuneration, better working conditions, so to speak, and more respect from the people, who have been showing signs of becoming tired of the old hokum that satisfied their an. cestors.
 India, of course, is not Indiana or Iowa, and fakirs have a certain tradi- tional privilege and prestige that will aid them in their campaign for better pay.
 A low caste Hindu may be outwardly Westernized, but he is likely to retain healthy fear of, if not love for, the power of the native priests and magicians.
 With the land overrun with charla- tans, working their wonders, playing their flutes, exhibiting their trained snakes, showing their withered arms, claiming miraculous powers, the natives grew restive and even scornful.
 With a dirty, ragged practitioner of the black art piping away at every cross- road, they got tired of contributing, and

CHINESE CARROTS
 OF 500 B. {. FOUND
Excavations Near C6en6 CboY
 Bring Forth Treasures

washingiton. July 2 R-While Chinese armies are engaged in civil warfare, with modern weapons, American archeologists have brought to light two Chinese war chariots, 2.5o0 years old.
 The chariots, which were exca- vated by Smithsonian Institution scientists near Cheng Chow. Honan province, indicate that an ancient Chinese civilization antedated the western civilization in the use Of wheeled vehicles. The Chinese char iots, the archeologists assert. date back to 500 B. C.. the latter part of the Chou dynasty. while the eari- est wheeled vehicles found in the western section of the world date back only to 400 B. C.
 The ancient chariots were found by accident. A Chinese farmer while sinking a we'll dug up num- ber of bronze vessels which he sold to some local dealers in an- tioues, The military authorities heard of the find and took posses SlOn or JHp IcllSs. lhS expedition later taking charge Of the excavation work.
 Coincidentally, the discovery dis closed that . Bronze Age existed in China as we'll as in other parts Of the world, the chariots having been made of that metal. It also showed that the Chinese, like the western CTS. followed a custom of bnryins chariots. horses and other valuable possessions with their owners.
 Two diminutive models or the chariot.. fashioned after the eSca- yated models. have been placed on exhibition by the Institution. un- usual features of the ancient chariots were the great width of the hubs and large number of spokes in the wheelr. Each spoke had flange ex- tending out a considerable distance to prevent it from sinking in the mud. It Is believed oxen drew the chariots, although at first it was supposed that man-power was used. The vehicles were equipped with hugo bamboo umbrellas, similar to those seen on present-day farm warong

movement at Hardwar was not altogether unexpected, English administrators in India say. Ever since their leaders began to teach them the power of pas sive resistance to the English when prae- ticed by great masses, the people of India have been contemplating the Vest ern institution, known as Organization" with rapt admiration. To an American, the virtues of organization may seem at times bit overrated. That is because he lives in a country which, in some ways, is over-organized. To a man liv- ing in country where there are 10000 gods, unnumbered religions, and many castes, all mutually hostile, the results achieved by small, Western nations through organization and cohesion must seem wonderful.

EDWARDS CALLS
ROLL OF M E N
KILLED BY DRYS

NEW YORK, Nov. IA Ex-senator
Edward 1. Edwards, of New Jersey,
in an article published today in the
December issue of the magazine
"Plain Talk" estimated that the toll
of lives taken by prohibition agents
"nrust run into four figures"
Senator Edwards said that no
nationwide research has been made to
establish the accuracy of his estimate,
adding, Gas long as prohibition lasts
statistics will never catch up with
the number of persons killed by pro-
hibition officers, federal, state and
municipal"
"The federal men to date" he said,
shave slain about 200, and 1 have
read the dispositions from the
treasury department showing 152
killings by federal agents. with some
"a other cases where deaths have
occurred at the hands of local Of
ficers."
Answering the question, "I1ow do
men die when prohibition agents
shoot?" he wrote, 'eThey die, many
of them, in cold blood, shot in the
back.
"The reports of the treasury de-
partment do not, it is true, ever say
that victim was shot in tie back,
for it would not look good. But
investigate the court records and see
what you find, and ask you not
to accept my word but the words
of physicians, men of the community
who know that perjury on such a
score would be instantly detected"
The magazine, in an explanatory
note, said that six months of ex-
haustive research work by Harry
Love, of Washington, went into the
gathering Of data for the article.
Senator Edwards recounted in de-
tail specific cases of several persons
"shot in the back" among them were
the cases of Guy E. Meadows, of
Hinton, w. Va, who, the senator
wrote, was shot and killed when he
attempted to throw pint OF whisky

FARMERS MEET

SEEKING RELIEF.

| CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. IA up -
Political leaders interested in the ma

! Grange members arrived here for their
annual conventions.
Five hundred of the twelve to fiji

two oranges which open tomorrow,
and continue until November IS, were
here tonight. The sessions will be
secret.
Leaders of the organization looked
| toward the adoption Of a new farm
relief program, upon which east and
west might combine to demand farm
legislation in the next session OF con-
gress Hope that, the nations farm,
ers would combine on the "Ohio plan, .
recently endorsed by the executive
committee of the Ohio state grange,
was expressed by l.. j., Tabor, Column
bus, master of the national body.
The essence of the "Ohio plan"
which combines features of all previous
plans, including the McNary- Haugen
bill and the Jardine proposal, is the
appointment of federal farm board
to administer the payment of the ex-
port bounty on surplus farm products.
The bounty would be paid on exports
of such SURPRISES by reorganized CO.,
operatives in the form of a debenture
that would be legal tender for payment
of custom duties.
1t also provides for the raising of
tariff duties in imported agricultural
products to provide funds for the pay
ment of debentures to be issued on
exports of SURPRISES. .a,a
Although the necessity of combining
on farm relief program seemed para
mount in the minds of the farm lead
ers, Mississippi flood control, merchant
marine and the tariff were all due for
consideration
