CONSTABULARY
Was Copied From Ireland,
Admits Organizer

ST. Paul.-The bill that would es-
tablish state constabulary was rid
died by President Hall, of the Mime
sofa State Federation of Labor, at a
public hearing held by the crime pre-
vention committee of the senate.
With an avalanche of statistics and
other facts the trade unionist proved
that in states where the cossacks are
established they have written a record
of law-breaking and invasion of popu-
lar rights.
Ever since the Pennsylvania state
constabulary was established, % years
ago, these Cossacks have endeavored
to break the spirit of foreign-born
workers who were brought to that
state for exploitation" President Hall
said.
He quoted the organizer of the
Pennsylvania Cossacks who stated at
government investigation that he
searched every country for a model
and finally accepted the Irish con-
stabulary.
"For more than 800 years the Irish
constabulary was used not to prevent
crime, but to stop the advocacy of
freedom" the trade unionist declared.
President Hall quoted business men
and police officers in other states who
said the Cossacks in their states were
unnecessary, expensive and ruthless
in overriding the peoples rights.

BRITISH UNIONISTS
full OF FIGHT

London, England. - Notwithstand-
ing their disastrous general strike
and the miners strike, British trade
unionists are rallying against the
governments plan to weaken their
movement by legislation.
The spirit of the workers was ex-
pressed by Walter Citrine, secretary
of the British Trade Union Congress,
who gave notice to the government, in
a public speech, that their attacks
would be resisted by labor
eve of the trade unions" added
Mr.. Citrine, "say to the government,
we are not afraid of your impending
attack. Go one with your legislation.
You have forced it upon us and we
will do our best to make it unwork-
able. Your legislation can stay on
the statute book until the next labor
government orders it's repeal"
The trade union official urged work
ers to profit by two years experience
and build up their industrial organ
izations.

TEXTILE WORKERS
UNITE

Passaic, N. j. Textile workers
have organized three locals of the
United Textile Workers in this dis
trict within one week. The latest
is in the Forstmann & Huffman mills,
whose strike was concluded recently.
Unions have been established in the
powerful Botany mills, in the Passaic
Worsted, the Dundee, the Gera, the
New Jersey mills and the United Piece
Dye Works at Lodi.
Robert M. Reinhold, personnel di-
rector of the Forstmann & Huffman
plant, has severed his connection with
that corporation. The textile workers
accuse Reinhold of being responsible
for the long strike in the F. & M.
mills.

act. Naturally the peaceful gain met
with the impotent outcries of the
union wreckers, who urged an imme-
diate and general strike in spite of
two disasters they have brought on
the needle trades.
1t is regarded as inevitable that
within comparatively short time the
entire needle industry employing at
least 100000 workers in the metropol-
itan district will work only five days.
Only the abortive efforts of the ex-
tremists has made the general appli-
cation of this reform impossible now.
The force of example in many trades
is having the effect of continuous
pressure to eliminate the uneconomi-
cal fourhour shift on Saturday. The
long distance workers must travel to
the factories also is factor in favor
of popularizing the shorter week.
