ROSSITER, Pa, July 2.-Striking
miners who were barred from singing
hymns and holding services in the
Magyar Presbyterian Church because
it disturbed" the scabs who work in
the mine directly behind the church,
were routed by mounted state troop
ers when they attempted to hold open
air services. Nevertheless, they will
congregate again next Sunday, they
say.
The miners came together beyond
the Indiana county line, where, they
insist, Judge j. N. Langham's recently
issued injunction does not apply.
The troopers rode over the line into
Jefferson County regardless, and Pas
tor Phillips hastily sent to Brook
vile for legal advice. The advice
came, the services were opened and
the troopers rode into the congrega-
tion trampling women and children.

N. Y. COMMUNISTS S
TO Open ELECTION |.
drive ON JULY 4th
Communist Candidates
to Speak at Rallies

Candidates of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party running in New York
City for assembly, congress and state
senate, and Robert Minor, candidate
for U. S. Senate, will speak at IL
open air demonstrations against
United States Imperialism through
out the city on Wednesday night,
July d. This will be the first public
appearance of the local and state
standard bearers Of the party in this
years election campaign. In con-
nection with this opening shot in the
Workers Party election campaign,
District 2, Workers Party, issued the
following statement:
"It is significant that July d has
been chosen as the day on which to
open the Communist election rallies.
On July A, 1776, the American
masses broke away from the oppres-
sive rule of the British bourgeoisie,
under promises of freedom and lib
erty for themselves, only to fall un-
der the yoke of their own bourgeoisie.
On July A, Of this year, the militant
workers of New York City will
demonstrate against the powerful
giant of U. S. imperialism, against
the increasing oppression and ex-
ploitation to which they are sub
jected by American capitalism.
The political conventions which
have just been held have shown that
the capitalist parties are merely the
tools of American imperialism. Only
the Workers (Communist) Party
carries on the struggle against i'm
perialism, against war, against the
bitter attacks upon the American
working class. Its election program
is program of struggle against the
brutal rule of Wall Street at home
and abroad.
The standard bearers of the Work
ers (Communist) Party in every sec
tion Of the city will bring to the
workers of New York the call of the
party for the fight against imper-
ialisn, against Wall Street and its
political puppets, against the social
ist party which is today following
in the footsteps of the capitalist par
ties.
Demonstrations will take place in
the following sections, with the can
didates as principal speakers:

Huge Picket Line.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July e.
The greatest picketing demonstration
that has as yet been seen in this
city took place this morning. Many
thousands of textile strikers com
pletely blocked passage in the streets
where the mills are located, demon
strating that the police attack on Sat
urday's parade had sharpened and not
blunted the militancy Of the $4,000 on
strike here.
Jack Rubinstein, union organizer
and leader of picket lines in the Pas
sale textile strike of 1925, declares
that picketing here has now assumed
the size and enthusiasm of the dem
onstrations seen in Passaic at the
climax of that struggle.
One of the mills which has been
most anxious to resume operations,
the Nonquitt Mill, opened its north
gates this morning An invitation
for the strikers to come back was
completely disregarded. The few
overseers and foremen that have been
working here, were brought to the
plant in an automobile that dashed
into the mills yards at the rate Of
thirty-five miles an hour.
Expect Bigger Lines.
Despite the tremendous size of the
picket lines this morning the leaders
of the Textile Mills Committee pre-
dict that the response to the picket
ing call for next Monday will be much
greater. Monday, July is the day
set by the mill owners for their in
tended reopening.
The courthouse here this morning
was entirely surrounded by large de-
tails Of police, who refused permis-
sion to enter to al but those whose
cases were to be heard, or to court
functionaries.
Twenty-Five of the 20 arrested yes
terday are charged with "inciting to
riot, and parading without permit.
The average bail for all those under
arrest is $500 each. Manuel Silva
and Manuel Machade have an addi-
tional charge of "disturbing the
peace" and were compelled to fur
nish 5000 before they were freed.
Virginia Zidre also has an additional
charge of assaulting a policeman.

lice and Mites Reduce Egg Yield
and Vitality of Flock

Poultry parasites are Of many
p;nds. Sometimes they multiply
until they kill the fowls on which
t u nrey. But in the opinion of
ssatomologists of the u. S. Dept.
e 40. parasites do even greater
;ni,,rv TO the industry by reducing
the vitality, stunning the growth,
and checking the egg yield of the
fowl. Lice and mites are the most
,frenuent and widespread groups of
Eternal parasites, and these two
.ren1ire entirely different methods
nc treatment to rid the fowls OF
sheir attacks, because the two live
,,nder different conditions. The lice
exist on the fowls, and the mites
live in cracks and crevices in nests
and roosts. =
For eradicating lice the depart
ment of agriculture recommends
application of sodium fluoride. IL
kills all varieties of lice-body,
head. and feather. This chemical
NAV be applied by busting Or by
dipping. Either the Chemically
pure" or the Commercial" grades
may be used, but the latter is
cheaper and more easily obtained.
Young chicks require very little
and a pound Of powder costing
about so cents should kill the lice
on flock Of 100 chickens. Dipping
the fowls is still easier and cheap
er, but it is not wise to dip fowls
unless the weather is warm. A
single treatment Of every fowl, by
either the busting or dipping me-
thod will completely eradicate all
lice from the premises.
For mites the procedure is ut
terly different. Mites do not live
on the fowls by day, but come out
and suck their fill of blood when
the fowls are roosting. First the
poultry house must be cleaned
thoroly. Trash, nesting material,
etc. should be taken out and burn
ed. Then GO over the whole house
thoroly with crude petroleum or
carbolineum using either spray
pump or brush to apply the mater
ial. Petroleum is cheaper but the
carbolineum gets into the cracks
better and lasts longer. Paint the
roosts and let the petroleum or
carbolineum work into every crack.
The mite killer should dry before
the chickens go to roost.
There are other fowl parasites,
such as the scaly leg mites, blue
bugs, bedbugs, fleas, and chiggers,
each of which may cause much
loss. These pests, however. are
not so generally distributed as are
lice and mites. This general distri-
