WARNING ISSUED ON
EVADING AUTO TAX
LOaning or Borrowing Dealers Tags
Driving Cars without Plates,
Are Both Illegal.

Persons buying new machines after
July 1 this year will pay only one
half the regular license fee. For
merly the half year rate went into
effect August 1, but the legislature
advanced the date one month.
The State Highway department,
however, sounds warning against
buying machines in June and driving
them with dealers plates or without
plates until July 1. Dealers plates
may be used legally only when ma
chine is being demonstrated by a
dealer or when it is being moved be-
tween places of business or storage
owned by a manufacturer or licensed
dealer. Car buyers who borrow deal
ers' plates to avoid paying the full
years tax, or dealers who loan plates
to customers, are equally liable under
the law.
One of the first tasks of the new
State Highway patrol will be to get
after persons who drive without Ii
cense plates or legal permit, and
persons who try to dodge part of their
license tax by borrowing dealers
plates or other plates not issued for
the car on which they are used.
There is only one substitute for the
official license plates and that is a
permit issued by an authorized agent
of the Secretary of State showing that
license has been applied for.

WEEDS Will
GET HEARING
Local Weed Inspectors Con-
ference Called for Askov
on Wednesday, June -,
and at Pine City Thurs
day, June 20.

Departing from the former custom,
the State Department of Agriculture
Dairy and Food IN. J. Holmberg, COM
missioner) will conduct the following
meetings in Pine county: At the town
hall in Askov on Wednesday, June
10, and in the court house in Pine
City on Thursday, June 20, which
this year will be open to the public.
The local weed inspectors have been
notified to attend as provided by sec
ion (a). Chap. 377, Laws of 1925.
The chairmen of the several town
ship boards become the local weed in
spectOrs, unless the county commits
sioners appoint county inspectors.
The mayors of the cities and the pres
idents of the village councils are the
weed inspectors of these municipali-
ties.
The fieldmen, representing the State
Department and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, will identify weeds
brought in for illustration and will
explain their habits of growth and
propagation. When this is fully ex-
planned, the means of destroying and
eradicating the weeds will be dis
cussed, and a full explanation with
illustrations will convince and show
how common barberry is friend of
black stem rust and foe of the grain
grower. This matter is very vital to
the farming interests and will prove
interesting to all property owners
whose duty it is to prevent weeds from
spreading, and who must give aid to
the barberry eradication campaign if
losses from stem rust are to be re-
duced.
The authorities and the duties of
the weed inspectors and of those
whose duty it is to destroy weeds is
not widely known. 1t will be of value
to those who attend to learn some
thing of the administration of the law,
e. g.: Who is responsible for cutting
roadside weeds? Who owns the lake
shores? Who is responsible for weeds
along bitches? Who pays the costs
for destroying weeds? How does the
common barberry spread black stem
rust? What barberry bushes to de-
stroy and how? Who knows the diff
ference between the common and the
japanese varieties of barberry? These
are but a few of the many questions
to be answered.
The meetings will be called sharply

ARMIES OF FENG
MOVE ON PEKING
War Lords Backed by
Imperialist Powers

SHANGHAI, June 18.-Governor
Yen Hsi-shan, of Shansi, has at last
abandoned his formal allegiance to
the Marking government and has
made a bargain with Feng Yu-
hsiang whereby Yen is to maintain
an attitude of neutrality" in the
new militarist war between Feng
and Chang Kai-shek, head of the
Marking government.
Yen's neutrality means that the
armies of Feng will be permitted to
pass through Sharsi province, which
has hitherto blocked their approach
to Peking. 1t was because of this
obstacle in his path that Feng has
been "loafing" and has made no di-
rect thrust at any important point.
Simultaneous with the announces

F'eng and the governor Of Shansi

FOOD striker
French Worker Was
Jailed as Picket

The persecution of arrested cafe
terra strikers is assuming new forms.
Deportation is the latest threat
against militant pickets, introduced
in the case of Frank Boujard, a
French food striker, who was arrest
ed for picketing and sentenced to
80 days in the workhouse.
Not content with this sentence,
an inspector from Ellis Island was
sent to the Welfare Island work
house to see Boujard. After much
questioning and intimidation, Bouj-
ard was taken to Ellis Island where
he is now being held for deporta-
ton to France, where the govern
ment wants him for militant activ-
tiles,
The New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense, through
it's attorney, Isaac Shorr, is fighting
the efforts to deport Boujard.

The union, following it's demon
stration before the City Hall the
other day when Mayor Walker re-
fused to see them, has been cir
culating a petition demanding the re-
moval of Delaney.
Resentment against the dismissal
of the men is at fever heat, and
sentiment in the union is strong for
an immediate general strike. Work
ers point out that Delaney's action
is in accord with the usual labor
hating policy of Tammany Hall,
which helped crush the strike of the
traction workers and sends out its
police against workers in every
struggle with their employers.

True to the consistent anti-labor,
union-hating policy of Tammany
Hall, Commissioner Delaney yester-
day fired outright 800 engineers.
The men were employed in the
board of transportation, of which
Delaney is the chief. Their firing
followed repeated demands that they
get the same wage scale as the en-
gineers of like grade in other city
departments, an increase in their
average pay from $2,160 to $3,12O

'HERESY TRIAL"
STATES DEFENSE
Hearing in Spirit Of
Lynch Law -Poyntz

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 49,
The International Labor Defense,
which is conducting nationwide or
ganization campaigns to defend the
Gastonia textile mill strikers, issued
today through it's executive secre-
tary, Juliet Stuart Poyntz, who is
in Charlotte to direct defense work,
the following statement:
The habeas corpus hearing today
was conducted in the medieval spirit
of entrenched autocracy, and in the
spirit of lynch law. Though in
habeas corpus proceedings, the pros
ecution is supposed to show cause
why the workers should not be re-
leased, the judge threw the burden
of proof on the defendants, and
made them show cause why they
should be released.
Heresy Trial.
The attitude was that of a heresy
trial, a trial for political and eco
nomic and religious heresy, an at
titude prevalent in the dark South.
The prosecutions questions show
that "belief in god' is one of the
main points on which the workers
are being tried.
The trial is the attempt of the tex
tile mill owners bureaucracy in the
South to murder and burn away by
electrocution every obstacle to their
continued brutal exploit ion at long
hours and SO or $40 a week wages
of the Negro and white labor here.
They are determined to "Keep the
Negro in his place." and keep the
poor white in his place." no matter
how many rebels they kill, legally
Or illegally. Workers, Negroes and
Communists are without the pale of
their law.
The International Labor Defense

up. 1t relies on the workers Of the
world to help it.

beaten and choked other women, she
said.
Otto Matson, another prosecution
witness, also admitted under cross
examination that the police had as
saulted one of the workers on the
union headquarters before any
shooting was done.
Worried About God.
Edith Saunders, one of the re-
leased prisoners, testified that she
saw none of the shooting, and that
she and Vera Bush and Amy Shech-
ter and others were in the inside Of
flee of the union hall when the bat
tie occurred.
Attorney Hoey, for the prosecu-
tion cross-examined her and spent
much of his time in inquiries rela-
tive to the belief of the witness in
god. The rest of his examination
was an endeavor to establish the
identity of the workers who used
firearms. A significant side line on
the methods of the prosecution was
disclosed when Gladys Wallace told
of being taken from the Gastonia
Jail to the office of Major Dolley,
retained by Manville-Jenckes to as
sist the prosecution, and there ex-
amined.
The trial will probably be held
late in July.
