other five gangsters will come up

gangsters of the right wing, being
knocked unconscious at the time of
the attack. His left arm was frac-
tured as result of the beating that
was inflicted on him.

gangsters admitted to the police that
they had been hired by right wing
official of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, named
Sobel, at $50 a week to beat up work
ers supporting the left wing of the
needle trades. Former Judge Leonard
A. Snitkin appeared as lawyer for the
thugs

government is concentrating it's best
troops in preparation for a march
against Wuhan. In reporting these
military preparations the press here
reaches the conclusion that military
conflict between the Marking and
Wuhan governments is bound to come
within the next few days. The press
also reports q movement of Wuhan
troops down the -kiang.
On the &her hand the rumors of
peace negotiations with Chang Tso-
lin and the concentration of Marking
troops against Wuhan is understood
in certain quarters as demonstration
against General Feng Yu-hsing with
whom relations are considered mot
quite normal"
1t is believed that these measures
are undertaken to force the uncondi-
tional surrender Of the Wuhan gov
ernment. At all events, it is felt here
that the next few days will be mo-
mentous in deciding the fate of the
Wuhan government as we'll as the
struggle Of the Marking government
against Chang Tso-lin.

ship, the u NJ. w. of A. officials
are getting rather scared and are
making an attempt at the convention
which is taking place in Scranton, to
entrench themselves in office more

harder for them to be thrown out by

The first method of doing this is
the extension Of tenure of office from
2 to years, for elective officers.
They are also going to request that
instead Of having five locals for en-

BUCHAREST, Roumania, July 20.
The rotting body of King Ferdinand
ceased breathing today as the COM

he had long suffered took their toll.
Babbling incoherently and continuous

nothing more than a puppet king, died
at 2:30 this morning. Queen Marie,
who last year visited the United
States and toured the country with a
menagerie comprising notorious ac-

her in European wartime debauches,
in an effort to raise loan for the
bloody Bratiano regime, was at the

Chancellor Seipel and his govern

storing political equilibrium. Whether
the government will take restrictive
measures against the Communists,
who are held responsible for the out

Many of the leaders are in Jail and
will be tried in the ordinary course
of events but it is unlikely that any
organized move will be made against
the Communist Party.
Preparations are under way for the

Yet a background of history which has yet been able to impeach tells that there yet penalties to be paid
 The GraySnyder murder, the trial of which has just ended in the prescription of the extreme penalty death is representative of series of progressions fro mon base-moraity.
 Like water dropping upon a stone, the moral sense became worn until is was longer capable of resist ance First the woan with that are, should be- sacred pledged her fidelity and love to When she first broke this she laid the foundation for that which to follow-avarce, abandonment of all moral ples and finally murder of her mate
 In like respect the man violated the sam meoral law progressed to the point of where his avace blinded all of responsibility and like his confederate, suf fered his reasoning powers to become distorted to point where he believed he could destroy his fellow without paying the legal penalty.
 Had Ruth Snyder been faithful to her vows she would be free today Had Henry Judd Gray obeyed the command "Thou shalt not covet he likewise would have still stood among his fellows.
 Every fracture of the moral code. does not lead to tragedy similar to the Snyder-Gray but each one has it's penalty attached it is merely how far the moral sense becomes and caloused to how far infrac tion will lead
