REMOVE MEXICO
OIL EQUIPMENT
t @ VENEZUELA

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 lP-The Pan
American Petroleum and Transport
company announced today that part
of it's oil field equipment has been
removed from the Mexican fields to
Venezuela, because of unsettled condi-
tons in Mexico. Property valued at
two to three millions of dollars has
been withdrawn from Mexico, it is I'M
derstood, by several petroleum COM
panies, including some of the sub
salaries Of the Standard Oil of New
York
Oil men here would not say that
the movement of equipment was in
the nature of general exodus from
the Mexican fields, but they did as
sert that, in the event that conditions
continued unsettled, considerably more
operating property likely would be
transferred. Denial was made that
recent revolutionary demonstrations in
Mexico had any bearing on the with
drawals. The move was based on the
burden placed on the industry by the
Mexican export tax

INJUNCTION IS
LABOR PROBLEM
A. F. OF |. TOLD

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Z (P)-The
label God Of Courts" was pasted on
the interstate commerce commission
today in a profound portrayal to
American labor of one of its greatest
prcblems-the court injunction.
veteran Chicago labor lawyer
Hope Thompson. was called to the
rostrum of the American Federation
OF Labor's convention hall to project
to the delegates the. legal phases OF
the new weapon against the work
ingman's militancy.
He did it in the fashion lawyer
might be expected to do it-reviewed
the divers legal efforts directed to-
ward labor since unionization began;
marked the advent of the cnjoining
mandate five years ago, and summed
up the situation like this:
s'The court injunction is the great
est threat faced by organized labor
today"
Taking the case of the stonecutterS'
union in Illinois, Thompson declared
that under federal court injunction
the workers were compelled to con-
tinue working because the stone they
cut came to them in interstate COM
merce. 81
The commerce commission, whose
hand in the yenjoining order ne saw,

labor, he said, but labor might solve
the problem by taking more interest
in the selection of those judges.
Most of then, have at some time
served capital in the capacity OF
lawyers" he declared, land labor
cannot expect them to understand
the rights of workmen."
legislatures cannot help labor, he
said, because the laws they might
enact would be butchered in the
higher courts.
Thompson urged the working people.
whom he characterized as the wan
guard of civilization to be more
careful in defending suits in court
which have great labor issues at
stake. e
The labor attorneys address pre-.
coded the taking up on the conven-.
ton floor of more of the 100 reso-
luticns which have reached the hands
of committees.
-Four of these resolutions were.
passed. virtually without a remark
and certainly no opposition, while.
two others were withdrawn.
One of those adopted directed of.
ficers of the federation to continue
efforts to obtain from congress et-
fective action to protect the Amer
lean people from development of a
bread monopoly" and obtain the
right for the workers to organize.
The resolution said the campaign
against the Ware. bread trust had
been successful to the extent of
forcing a partial dissolution which
William B. Ward sought to establish
over the entire baking industry
The Ward Baking corporation,
which the resolution said mad been
divided into three concerns, were able
to establish substantial control over
prices. 1t added that congressional
investigation conducted by Thomas J.
Walsh of Montana found that the

solution was effected" was obtained,

LONDON, Oct Z 4F0-In the great
hall of the house Of lords where few
Americans ever entered, let alone
dined, legionnaires tonight sat down
at a banquet as guests of the British
government.
. Stanley Baldwin, fresh from the
conference at Cardiff which is occu-
pied with the plight OF flappers and
farmers, presided. The premier was
il excellent mood and extended to
the Americans hearty and sincere
welcome such as was given yesterday
by the prince of Wales.
Premier BaldWin's hCmely style OF
humor had a particular appeal for
the Americans He frequently spoke
in a light vein which afforded the
legionnaires many chuckles. 1t seemed
that TIE premier had quite forgotten
the conservative party troubles, which
include the clamor of farmers ros
government aid and demand py
women for acknowledgements at 81
He made no reference to these pro3-
lens.
Howard P. Savage retiring CON-
mander of the legiennaires. paid high
tribute to the courage OF British
Tommies at the front ana to the
splendid spirit of British sailors in
keeping the seas open during the
war. For these services, he said,
Americans were grateful
Savage thanked Premier Baldwin
for the cordial welcome to the legion
naires, who, he said, were thrilled
to man by being entertained in
the building in which for generations
British destiny had been nodded.
I'm the name of the American
legion I desire to pay. homage to the
patriotism and integrity of the British
nation, which has tasted the bitter
dregs of war, as the terrible price
of pledging British honor Savage
said.
He concluded his address to q
hushed house, in which even walters
ceased to move about, with. these
words:
II raise my glass to you and say
that but for your fidelity OF purpose
your tenacity< in the dark days Of
1914-1916, we Americans might never
have had the honor of playing Il
part in the battle to destroy auto
cratic conquest machines and the
good fight for the preservation of
the principles of democracy"

by collision.
The resolution was introduced by
delegates of the Bakery and Confec-
tionery Workers International Union
Of America.
Education of organized workers and
their friends to the necessity of pur-
chasing only full fashioned hosiery
was backed by the convention in pas
sage of resolution introduced by
Delegates Thomas F. Mcmahon and
Sara Conboy Of the United Textile
Workers Of America.
Another resolution by t. P. Holl-
craft, OF the Olympia, Wash, trades
council urging federation members to
buy only union made collars and other
articles was passed.
Two resolutions, introduced by
William M. Brandt of the Missouri
State Federation of Labor, and re-
. uuesting that international unions
discontinue use of union label firms
unfair to other trades, were unfa-
vorably reported.
In recommending that they be
withdrawn, to which the author con-
Sented the committee on labels said
that if the bills were adopted in
,heir present forms they might be
considered to constitute an invasion
ot charter rights of affiliated unions
Appeals to unions to educate chill

Police officials say he came to

the warrants, out of court without
any hearing. They heard nothing
more of the matter until last night
when the warrants were served.
The warrants were issued by
Magistrate Waldmayer, three being
sworn by the husband and three
by the wife. The warrants charge
the officers and other two men
with conspiracy to forcibly enter

spiracy to commit assault and bat

Fire Destroys
Farm Building
Blaze of Unknown Origin
Burns Dwelling and Barn
Near Mortified
HORSE, DOG CONSUMED

Fire of unknown origin complete
ly destroyed the home of Russo
Jerufee, farmer on the Mill road
beyond the stand pipe early vested
day morning, while they were out
of the city visiting. and at the same
time burned to death a horse and
a dog when it jumped from the
house to a barn, consuming it. In
the barn were two automobiles.
both OF which were complete
loss.
Firenlen from the Northfleld fire
department, called TO the scene
shortly after midnight, were forced
to stand by without being able to
do anything but watch the blaze
fIevel the buildings 10 the ground
because mo- water main was ex-
tended along the road.
The loss is expected to amount
to more than $4,000. The build
ing was of the two-story frame
type, the. barn being rather a large
one.
Night Officer Everett Lever, pa
trolling the northern end of the
city, saw the bright blaze against
the sky. and reported the fire to
the police. making quick run to
the scene before the department.
The house was well on fire be-
fore his arrival, and as the fire de-
partment pulled up. its members
saw that the building could not be
saved unless there was a supply of
water near at hand.
The family. consisting of Mr.. Je-
ruffe and his wife, and Ave small
children. had left, neighbors de-
clared, for a short visit with rela-
tives who lived out of town. They
had failed to return Sunday night,
and whether the fire was caused by
tramps. or how it started, remains
a mystery.
The family, whose occupation is
farming. had moved to the Mill
road building more than year ago.
Their mail was addressed to Mrs.
Rose Jeruffe. They farmed a tract
surrounding their house.
1t is not known whether or not
the place was covered by insur-
ance, but it is believed that it is
not.
