FarTneT-LabOr Party
Of Minnesota viii
Run Entire Slate

MINNEAPOLIS, April 17.-Con-
trary to ell dire forecasts, the Mime
sofa Farmer Labor Party continues
to grow more vigorous and to gather
ever-increasing strength among the
farmers and workers of the state.
Right at this moment, much interest
is manifest in the Minneapolis NUM-
cipal elections, and indications are
that there will be a full Farmer
Labor ticket in the field, which will
be theoretically supported by all
branches of the labor movement
Convention Soon.
1t is believed that there will be a
state convention Of the Association
within a short period, and this, no
doubt, will have the beneficial effect
of consolidating all forces within the
Association and laying the base for
an unprecedented growth and activity.
1t is reported that applications for
affiliation with the Farmer-Labor
I Association continues to flood the
State Office in st: Paul, while the
ward clubs increase in size and
strength.
Ready TO Go On.
The veto Of the Mc-Nary- Haugen
bill has strengthened the conviction
of the farmers and workers in Mime
sofa that relief can only be obtained
through powerful organization
which will fight increasingly in their
interests, and in their interests alone.
With the bankruptcy of the working
farmers, and the resulting miserable
conditions of the city workers, q
strong bond is being cemented be-
tween the two, which presages well
for the Farmer-Labor Party.

with locking out their miners to en-
force a general wage cut, many Ohio
coal operators are seeking to drive
them sout of house and home, even
cutting off their water supply and for
bidding them to grow vegetables in
their gardens in some cases. The first
notices to vacate were served on 500
miner families in Belmont and Perry
counties by the Powhatan Mining Co.
at Bellaire and the Sunday Greek Coal
Co. at Santoy.
Sheriff Hesitates.
So drastic has been the Sunday
/ Creek Coal Co. that Sheriff Harley
McNabb of Perry county announced
that he will refuse to evict miner
families at Santoy and it is believed
that no justice Of the peace or con
stable in the county will help with
eviction.
Not only did the company order the
miners in company-owned homes to
vacate within Is days but it gave no
tice that it would cut off the water
supply April 10. AS this little mining
village has been supplied with water
from the coal company's reservoirs
and light from the companys power
plant, the order will mean that the
miners win be without light and will
have to seek water from old drilled
wells that have been unused for years
and may now be infected
''No Gardens
Another order is reported by Secy.
Conrad Wien Of sub-district at Mel
sonville. He says operators have or
dered miners not to plant gardens on
their lots. As many miner families
have depended during hard times up
on vegetables which they could grow
for themselves, this cuts off an i'm
portant source of food supplies from
the strikers.
More than 1000 persons are said to
be affected by the action Of the Pow
satan Mining Co. in the Bellalre Field
in ordering occupants Of 200 of its
houses either to pay rent in advance
during the lockout or to move out
Only five days notice was given, the
union announces that il would go to
court to fight the eviction order il
necessary, and that in an emergency
tents will be supplied in homeless fam
lilies.

Injunction Against
Traction Workers
Will Be Appealed

WASHINGTON, April 17.--An APP
peal to the higher court will be taken
against the injunction issued by Judge
Delahanty in New York restraining
representatives of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employes.from attempting to
organize employees of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company, the American
Federation Of Labor announced today
Senator-elect Robert Wagner, and
Rep. Nathan d. Perlman will act as
counsel for the union, which will be
supported by the Federation of La
Dor.
Condemns Injunction.
Condemning the injunction, Presi-
dent William Green of the federation
said "The American Federation Of
Labor is deeply interested in the pro-
ceedings because organized labor does
not believe that the injunction issued
by Judge Delahanty is in conformity
with law or justice.
Eve believe that the men employed
upon the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company system should be permitted
to unite with the forces of organized
labor and to join bona fide trade
union if they wish.
"They should not be prohibited from
doing so through the operation of a
court injunction, nor should the rep
resentatives of organized labor be en-
Joined from soliciting these men to
join bona fide trade union"

Now in view Of the fact that the

Twenty Millions Of Dollars, this inter-
lacing directorate takes on a special
significance.
1t is not by mere chance that these
'boys" are sitting pretty on the board

the Chase National to the officials Of

friendly contact, rather than the be-
wildered policyholders of the big

is acquainted with these facts. He
knows that the reports issued by the

TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
II he Message
of Easter
BY Rev. Edward Taber

1t is most appropriate that
Easter should come in the
Spring.
For Spring is the season of
rejoicing. It is the season when
from time iInmemorial men have
felt an urge to celebrate the
passing of the long and tedious
Winter.
Spring is the season when the
poet is most likely to write his
verses. 1t is the time for the
artist, and the season of song.
Altogether fitting it is that the
greatest festival Of the church
calendar should come at a time
when the natural inclination of
man is to rejoice.
The Christian celebration of
Easter, the time of the resur-
rection of Christ, is the sign
and symbol of mans hope for
and belief in Immortality.
From the earliest times the
great question as to whether or
not personality survives death
has been considered. In ancient
Egypt, the cradle of civilization,
there was a very definite belief
in the Immortality of the soul.
AS soon as man began to think
at all, he began to ponder over
his ultimate destiny.
With the exception of the re-
ligions of the East, which are
generally pessimistic, and regard
life as an evil thing, the great
faiths of mankind nave included
in their dogmas the belief in a
future state.
But it remained for Jesus
Christ to bring to the world
its great hope of triumph over
death. Before Him great philos-
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-04-16

ophers such as Socrates had
stated their belief in the irnmor-
tally of the soul. David had
declared that he would dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.
Philosophers, sages and poets
had cherished the immortal hope.
In Jerusalem the Pharisees and
Sadducees had argued about the
great question.
But the great mass of the peo-
pie had no definite faith in a
future life. There had been no
teacher with unique religious
authority to assert in uncom-
promising tones that man was
heir to eternal life.
Let us consider for a moment
the events Immediately proceed
ing the resurrection of Christ.
The triumph of the entry INTO
Jerusalem had been short-lived.
During the last week of the
Master momentous events fol-
lowed in rapid succession. The
Last Supper and the period of
meditation in Gethsemane were
followed by the betrayal by
Judas. Then came the trials be-
fore High Priest and Plate and
the crucifixion on Good Friday.
There can be no doubt that
after the burial of Christ the
apostles gave up all hope of
ever seeing their Master again.
Great, then, was their astonish-
ment and joy when they became
convinced that "the Lord was
risen indeed"
The words of the angel at the
empty tomb, ''He is not here,
He is risen," brought to the dis
ciples and followers of Jesus
joyous message, and brought to
the world a new hope.
