Goods i'm His Heaven

BALTIMORE, Md, April 2,-Nel-
son, Cook & Co., Baltimore bankers,
take a bankers view of unemploy-
ment. They believe that the present
shortage of jobs is a direct outgrowth
of economic excuses which resulted
from the war and is morally adj
vantageous to the human race.
"The shadow Of unemployment will
reduce rent, restore labor to sanity,
cut the cost of living, rectify the evils
of instalment selling, encourage thrift
and rudely awaken US to the forgotten
knowledge that the skies are not al
ways clear and the weather is not
always fair" a representative of this
banking house said in pious inter.
view.

LABOR MEETING IN
JULY
Resentment Against
Shipstead Grows

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April q
The Northwest Conference attended
by representative of the Farmer La
Dor Party and Progressive Farmer
Labor Movements of the Northwest
States has adopted a resolution con-
voking a national convention in Chi
cago on July fourth. The conference
intends to build a national organiza-
tion and nominate presidential candi-
dates.
The conference has not as yet en-
dorsed any specific candidate thus
avoiding a conflict between the fol-
lowers of a third party and the
genuine Farmer Laborites who desire
trade unionist for president with a
progressive farmer representative for
vice president.
Resentment in the Farmer Labor
Party is growing against Senator
Shipstead of Minnesota who has not
yet signified his intentions as regards
the republicans. The Farmer Labor
Party is closely following his moves
and the possibility of the filing of a
genuine Farmer Labor candidate
against Shipstead in the primaries
seems more and more probable.

progressive mine leader whose body
was riddled by bullets as an outcome
of his fight on the contractor system

is their plea. They claim Agati pulled

an automobile and murdered by gun
men.
81 hope" said Mrs. Campbell, "that
the miners of District l will remove
the contractors who have caused so
much sorrow to myself and others.
And I pray that the miners will be
determined III then demand for a
special convention, as Alex often said
such thing would likely bring peace
and happiness to the district"

IN Each Textile
NH COMMITTEE

The textile workers in the mills
thruout New England are prepar-
ing to form their Mill Committees
to fight the wage slashing, union
smashing campaign by which the
mill bosses are trying to enslaVe
the mill workers.
Organization has begun already
and slogans have been issued. Inc
Mill Committees are alre d y
springing up all over England. The
spread of these mill committees
can be aided, their power can be
assured only if they are bound up
together in one strong united pro-
gram of militant action against the
bosses and against their treacher-
Gus officials in the United Textile
Workers and the American Fede-
ration of Textile Operatives. In
their fight they must have the
united support of the American
working class.
But they can only be bound up
thoroughly, they can only hope to
win the maximum support of all
American workers when e i +
struggle is brought wildly and
every day before the masses of
American labor. If every strike in
every mill is not to remain an isO-
lated event, if the strikers are not
to remain in comparative ignorance
of the happenings in all other
mills, if the masses of American
workers are not to remain in ignor-
ance of the struggle the textile
workers are making, the textile
workers must themselves tell the
daily story of their fight. Every
mill must have its worker who will

ents must be chosen by every Mill

Symphony Society and its chief back
err, will act as president of the new
amalgamation.
According to the announcement, the
concert season next year will be
heightened. Arturo Toscanini will be
the chief conductor and select the
musicians. William Mengelberg will
be one of the conductors. Walter
Damrosch will act as guest conductor
Of the merged societies. The follow
ing reasons were given for the con-
solidation of the two societies:
"To establish an orchestra with
sound financial backing that will
guarantee the continuance of the
musical traditions of the two socie-
ties.
"By bringing the friends of both
societies into single organization,
to create fund for the pensioning of
superannuated members of the Or
chestra and sick and death benefit
fund
'To undertake the erection of new
hall that will serve as a suitable and
permanent home for the new orches-
ira.
"To enlarge the educational work
of the society by making available to
music students and school children in
the city of New York a greater num-
Der of concerts at price within the
reach of every one. 1t is the wish
of the officers that the new orchestra
will bear the same relationship to the
musical life of the city as the Metro
politan Museum bears to those inter-
ested in the graphic and plastic arts"

M'ILLIONS STOLEN
BY FRAME-UP KING
Wood Quilted Company
of 81, 800, 900, Charge

BOSTON, April 2. - William M.
Wood, former head of the American
Wooden Co., who committed suicide
in Florida in 1926, Quilted his compa-
ny of $2,500,000, according to charges
filed by the American Wooden Com
pany in Boston superior court.
Wood pilfered from his company
continuously from the date of its or
ganization until he retired in 1924,
the complaint charges in answer to a
$5,000,000 suit filed by the Wood es-
tate to save it from paying income
taxes assessed by the federal govern
ment.
Frameup Record.
Wood is remembered in Lawrence,
seat of the American Wooden Compa-
ny mills, as the bitter foe of strikes
in 1912 and 1918. He tried in 1912
to send Joseph Ettor and Arturo
Giovanitti, strike leaders, to the peni-
tertiary for life. After the strike the
wooden monarch was indicted for
placing dynamite among the strikers.
A Lawrence undertaken swore that
Wood paid him to plant the explosive.
Another man, named as co-conspira-
tor, committed suicide when called to
testify. In 1920 he was again indict-
ed for profiteerlng in wearing ap-
parel, but with the aid of Charles
Evans Hughes eXtricated himself
from the tolls of the law.
Use All Trickery.
Nearly every piece of financial
trickery known to the trade was used
to line Woods pockets. He made
exorbitant profits through privately
organized companies which made con-
tracts with the big firm; his splendid
estate at Andover, Mass. was paid for
and equipped by funds shadily ex-
tracted from his firm; throughout his
presidency he charged personal ex-
penses by hook or crook to the cor
poration.
The wooden baron was high in re-
publican councils. Through interlock-
ing directorates, he was big figure
! in COAL banking and insurance COM
panies, and one of Americas rulers.
