Workers of Rochester
Incensed at Hinnan

ROCHESTER, N. Y, June 27.-
The entire membership of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers here is in
an uproar over the latest attempts
of reactionary machine to jam thru
it's union-breaking policies Its set
back at the latest meeting on Tues
day by the rank and file, and the
willingness of The machine to go as
far as breaking up the union rather
than permit the membership to carry
thru its will has stirred the workers
to open revolt.
This was caused by the attempt
of the machine to force thru the
Italian Local 202 at which over 600
were present, motion to remove
Sarl Seagle as shop chairman in tie
IIickey-Freeman on the ground that
Scagle was left winger. The work
ars voted nearly two to one against
The machine. They assailed the
czarist tactics of Hillman's tool,
Chairman, and denounced all efforts
to remove honest workingclass
fighters.
When, following the vote, the
machine men realized that the work
ers had gone beyond their control
and that they would be defeated on
several other important propositions
that were still to come up, they pro-
voked fight and the meeting ended
in a free for all, in which all did
not go we'll with the Chatman-Hill-
man clique supporters. The next day
three workers were told by theil
bosses that the clique officials hac
ordered that they be taken from the
jobs on the ground that they has
participated in the fight which the
machine had provoked.
Workers declare that this action
will not go unchallenged. The left
wing, which has been consistently
carrying on the struggle against the
betrayals of the Hillman forces now
finds the workers in the whole in.

murder, conspiracy, and "secret as
sault with intent to commit murder"
The mill owners legal advisers, who
make up the company of prosecution
attorneys are stumbling over each
other in their endeavors to force a
quick trial, before the international
Labor Defense can rally the workers
and assemble funds.
The plan of the prosecution is to
secure a special term of court to
begin July 29.
Camouflage Mill Lawyers.
Evidently realizing that consider-,
able suspicion is cast upon the nrin \
ciples Of the prosecution by the TACT
that Major Bulwinkie, attorney for
the Manville-Jenckes Co., heads it,
and has under him a dozen other
textile mill company lawyers, an at
tempt is being made now by the city
of Gastonia to re-classify these
bosses agents as employees of the
city"
Mayor E. B. Denny has stated that
every mill attorney among them is
from now on not to be called a mill
attorney any more but is to be a
"Gastonia city attorney" even Bull
Wrinkle, who, the mayor admits, "has
represented the Manville-Jenckes
Company, owners of the Loray mill,
where the strike was called in April,
prior to the present time"
Mayor Denney cited the names of
Bulwinkle, A. G. Magnum, Earnest
Warren, R. G. Perry, Major Stephen
B. Dolley and Clyde r. Hoey as the
new city aids to the prosecution, and
intimated that he himself, City
Solicitor George B. Mason, City At
torney A. E. Woltz, and Solicitor
John C. Carpenter would be with the
prosecution.
The Major Dolley in the above list
was the commander of the militia at
the time they were used against the
strikers in Gastonia.
The Hoey mentioned is the brother
in-law of the governor of North
Carolina, and was chief inquisitor
at the time of the habeas corpus
hearings in Charlotte.
Gazette for A. F. of L.
The Gastonia Gazette, faithful or
gan of the mill owners, the chief
newspaper instigating violence
against the strikers, also chief advo-
cate of the legal murder Of those
held in Jail, came out editorially yes
terday in favor of the United Textile
Workers Union, and the A. +. of l..
The Gazette, like the mill owners,
has evidently become convinced that
the mill workers intend to organize.
The mill owners press is now strug-
CLING to direct this organization into
channels where it can be BETRAYED by
the men who sold out the rayon
strike in Elizabethton, Tenn. 1t
states editorially today: that because
it is fighting for the conviction Of
Beal, Amy Schechter, Vera Bush and
the others arrested, this doas not
mean that it is against higher wages.
Only if union is necessary, the A.
F. of L. should have been called in
instead of the National Textile
Workers Union!

Warning That Caused

Paris, Gilbert K. Chesterton was
called upon for speech. IAN early
Christian martyr" said Chesterton,
stood In the arena awaiting the lions,
and he prayed to his God to perform
a miracle that would save his life.
And God gave him a divine inspira-
ton. The grating in front of the
lions den was raised and a great
tawney beast appeared, shifted the air,
shook his name, roared and bounded
toward the waiting martyr. The
Christian stood with folded arms and
when the animal drew near was heard
to mutter a few words. Immediately
the lion recoiled and skunk back to
the far end Of the arena where he

order and the Christian was dragged

thee to make a speech" Where

Odd Powers Attributed
to Gems in AQes Past

While In modern times the value Of
Jewels depends on their use as orna'
ments and their employment In GER
tain optical and other Instruments,
the ancients attached far different
Significance to them. In their minds
gems were endowed with gifts of spir-
itual and material power and were
credited with the ability to cure dis
eases, avert trouble and drive away
the demons, which harassed the I'M
aginations of people of early and me-
dleval times. This conception gave
rise to he wearing Of amulets the
presiding genius Of ones fate being
easily carried about in the form of q
precious stone.
These ideas, now so ridiculous to
us, had their origin in the philosophy
Of India and are related to the belief
In the transmigratlon of the soul. It
was believed that the soul which, at
death, had not reached state Of alb
solute purity, had to undergo various
transmigrations until II became puri-
fed, and that consequently 1t entered
into plants, animals and even min.
eral bodies in the process Therefore.
gems we're considered living beings.
Being of Incompatible physical purity,
they were regarded as the highest ex-
preston of natural perfection, and
hence imposed to possess tallsmanlc
and other powerful properties

Historic Buildings in
Finnish Town of Turku

Turku was Einland's first capital.
Christianity was first taught there,
and the first Christian converts were
baptized in the River Aura. The old
est cathedral and the oldest castle In
Finland are to be found In Turku, and
nearly all the historic homes of the
Finnish nobility are in or near the
city.
With the exception of the cathedral
and the castle, modern Turku has
been built since the disastrous fire of
1927, when the old town was almost
entirely destroyed In a blaze that
burned for five days. Both the castle
and the cathedral are grim structures
with little exterior ornament. The ca
thedral has a long. narrow vaulted
interior and most of the immense
treasure which was once kept there
has disappeared.
Part of the castle is now a museum
and is furnished with pieces of old
Finnish furniture. Visitors can still
see the dungeon. six fathoms deep
and black as pitch. where prisoners
were kept. In the great central hall
is a high gallery from which n cruel
ruler once had unruly subjects hurled
to the floor below. One cell in the
castle Is still known as the malefac.
tors resting place.-National Geo

During the early part of the Eight

about as inhuman sport as one can

fortunately, saw the dawn of new

the Corruption of Death


A mans body was found standing
upright in a block of Ice and was
chopped out of a crevasse in a gla-
cier of Mount Rainier. Thus there
is q reminder of the pathetic story
told many years ago when Mr.. Fred
erick Stimson was writing as u. s.
of Dale: The story Of the body pre-
served In an Alpine glacier, slowly
moving, but finally restoring the loved
one to the patient waiter. Or there is
the frozen pirate, the hero Of a novel
by Clark Russell, though this pirate
was not saved from immediate death
by a glacier.

Moose Given Points of
Superiority Over Horse

The Swedish moose is a dangerous
competitor to the horse, says a Stock
holm Associated Press dispatch.
Some years ago a harnessed moose
easily took first place In horse race,
but was refused first prize because the
judges decided 1t was out of the COM
petition.
Moose were used as saddle and draft
horses several centuries ago until pro-
hibited by royal decree, as 1t was
feared a criminal astride a moose
could easily outdistance his horse-pow-
cred pursuers.
A Swedish country gentleman caught
a moose bull as q calf and broke him
for mail service. The animal proved
more practical than horse, since no
gates had to be opened. the moose
clearing them all without difficulty.
At one time a military expert pro-
posed moose cavalry regiment, as.
sorting that a moose squadron would
put fright into a whole horse regl-
ment. The scheme was left untrled.

Paper Has Kept Growth

In the United States the history Of
paper is the history of the country.
When the Revolutionary war broke out
there was hardly enough paper avail
able to wad the guns of the soldiers
or upon which to write the orders of
their officers. There was virtually no
paper. By 1910, however. the use had
increased to about one pound per capita
per year. II had grown to over eight
pounds in 1850. The Civil war great
~ accelerated consumption which
reached 25 pounds in 1869 In 1892
TWAS 81 pounds; in 1929. $50 pounds.
and today the people Of the nation an
nunIly consume more than their own
weight in paper.
