Lewis Vote Steal Must
Be Probed, Says Miner
Convention of Scotia

GLACE BAY, Nova Scotia, June 30
(By Mail) 1.-THE eighth annual con-
vention of District No. 26, U. M. w.
of A. met in New Glasgow, N. S.,
June 20-28, with 113 delegates pres
ent. These annual gatherings are a
good means by which to judge the
temper of the miners. The present
convention indicated rather sleepy
and grumbling giant that was too
tired to battle, but would give an
ugly growl at any attempt to further
degrade and humble him. Under Tory
influence the miners of Nova Scotia
had been induced to accept a ten
yer cent wage cut year ago, and
to place their fate as to further wage
changes, either up or down, under a
scheme as drafted by the famous Dun
can Royal Commission.
At this convention the Sleepy
giant" received his first report on the
results obtained by Besco out of
years operation under the Duncan
scheme of exploitation. A fellow by
the name of Scott was the miners
representative to audit the Besco
books and determine whether Besco
could afford to pay more wages or
the miners have to suffer another cut
in order to keep the wheels of indus
try going. Scott made his first re-
port to this convention, and the re-

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, July 13.-

Coal Co. is starting eviction proceed
ings. The Vesta is a subsidiary of
the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. The

April but has since vainly attempt

Union miners are bitterly disap-
pointed with the sheriff of Washing

votes but now sides viciously with the
operators. Labor party talk is spread

Cap Union Holding
Important Meeting

A special meeting of the Capmak-
ers' Union will be held right after
work tonight at Beethoven Hall, East
Fifth St., to act on further tax
on the workers and to take up the
question of the 40-hour week and
standards of production.
Two weeks ago a $50 tax was
placed upon all the workers in spite
of the left wing opposition. The
militants proposed that the unem-
ployed workers be exempted and at
the same time be paid from the un-
employment benefit fund.
Left wing workers point out that
instead of organizing picket lines and
fighting against the bosses, the right
wing officials are devoting their time
in placing taxes on the workers.

FUR WORKERS Who
ARE ATTACKED BY
THUGS Arrested
Held for Assault While
Rights Are Not

While picketing in front of 148 w.
Twenty-ninth street, yesterday NOR
ming, Philip Glatzman, fur worker,
was attacked by three right wing
thugs-Harry Rider, Jacob Gross and
Jerry Larson. Henry Goldberg, an
other picket who was nearby, came
to Goldberg's assistance and helped
him beat off his assailants.
Seeing that the gangsters were
getting the worse of it, members of
the Industrial Squad appeared upon
the scene and placed the five of them
under arrest.
Felonious Assault Charge.
The two strikers were released on

Little Augie's Gang.
The trial of Meyer Friedman and

When waiting for the opening of

talking to "Little Augie," we'll known

the suspicion of many workers that
they are members of his gang.
In dismissing the case against the
thirteen workers Magistrate Brodsky
said that he "could not find from the
testimony of the policemen that the
strikers were making any noise or
in any way molesting" the scabs.

John F. Hylan still insists that I'm

Interborough. In the face of a united
front on the part of John F. Gilchrist,
chairman of the transit commission
and Samuel Untermyer, special coun-
sci for the subway crowd and the New
York police force, the former mayor
burst into the proceedings yesterday
and demanded that he be heard.
On Monday Hylan made the
charge, which seemed to be sound
one, that Untermyer's firm had re-
ceived twenty-five thousand dollar
fee from the l. R. T. in 1916.

rapidly, "and have a letter here from

"You are not subpoenaed," Gilchrist
shouted.
"Well, will you look at this receipt
for $4,000 paid to Gugenheimer, I'm
termyer and Marshall?"
The chairman kept on informing
Hylan that he was out of order while
the former mayor kept up his gra-
tuitous testimony. At his wits end
Gilchrist ordered his secretary to call
the police.
"All right, call the police" Hylan
challenged.

Reveals Prejudice

BOSTON, July 13. - Robert C.
Benchley, New York dramatic critic,

fense to give details of the affidavit
he had submitted, which told of a
conversation with Loring Goes of
Worcester. Benchley affirmed Goes
told him of statements made by Thay-
er at the Worcester Golf Club, which
showed that the judge was prejudiced
in the case.

The affidavit read in part: "Mr.
Goes said that Judge Thayer had re-
ferred to Sacco and Vanzetti as boil
sheviki' who were trying to intimi-
date him, and said that he would get
them good and proper"
Benchley was briefly cross exam
ined by Dudley p Ranney, represent
ing the prosecution before the COM
mittee.

pert of Auburn, N. Y, was the first

some time with the committee behind
closed doors. When he left he re-
fused to make any statement.
And Still They Come.

terviewed Joseph Clancy, newspa-
perman. He was in the commission
room about five minutes telling of a

diced nature.

Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes Of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS FTSHBLIN
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and Of NY
yein, the Health Magazine

The chief value of fats in the diet
is to provide energy. The fats when
burned in the body are stored as
slycogcn for use as fuel at later
time, or may be developed into the
tissue fat in the body.
Some of the tat combines with
other food substances. forming COM
pounds that are needed in the It's
sues. The final chemical change is
the burning of the fat into carbon
dioxide and water.
Before the World War the Ameri-
can ordinarily consumed about ) IL
ounces of fat per day. the English
man uses 8 Is, the German 1-3.
and the Frenchman ! IL. Since that
time the figures have changed
greatly, particularly for the Euro
pean countries.
The fats obtained from domestic
animals have been produced in
smaller amounts, because OF lack
Of food for the stock. The veSe-
table fats have not been import.d
in as great amounts These whole
sale changes in the dietary are i'm
portant from the standpoint or the
growth and development OF the peo-
pie.
] The factors that determine the
use of the fats in the diet are their
relative cost, suitably for cook
ing or other uses in the prcpara-
ton OF food. palat2bility and family
and racial preferences. Then. be-
sides, the fats may contain varying
quantities of the vitamin known as
/ for proper growth and for the pre-
Vention Of ricketts,.
The kinds OF fats that different
nations eat depend on climatic and
/ economic conditions. Olive and
cocoanut oil are used In tropical
and semi-tropical countries. Lard
and butter are the important fats
/ in meat-producing countries.
I Scorched fats. such as are found
/ in foods that have been fried at too
! high a temperature, sometim cs
prove troublesome and have given
, fried foods the reputation of being
! indieestible, b Ut this is probabl
/ rlue TO the poor cooking rather than
to the fat itself.
It also stated that although fats
do not usually cause any digestive
disturbances, they do remain in the
stomach longer than other nutri-
: ents. and this seems to have a most
interesting effect on the sensation
of hunger, That sensation begins
to be felt after the stomach has
been empty for some time. If there
is little or no fat in the meal the
sensation begins more quickly. and
this probably explains why diet
poor in fat seems so unsatisfying
and why ono rich in fat seems
hearty. Food without tat is likely
10 be without flavor and monoto-
nous.
