owner finished target practice early
today. One cartridge remained in
the chamber.
IT aimed once at the door, and
it didn't go off, so I didn't think
there was anything in it" Vincent
sobbed after the shooting.
Then I pointed it at the door
again. I amt such a good shot,
and I didn't expect anything to
come out"
Hearing the guns report, Law

Arthur lay on the floor. The bull

through the liver, and emerged
from the hip.

Universal military service in war
was advocated today by Major Gen
eral D. E. Nolan, Columbus, O., in
his address before the joint opening
business sessions of the Legion and
its auxiliary.
Nolan said in part:
What we need is a law that will
make this a real nation in arms in
case of another great national
emergency, on that will apply to all
classes, and make the war, If it I'M
fortunately comes, everybody'S war.
Because modern wars are fought by
the whole people and will all the
resources of the nation behind the
people, and to win success We must
have the system Of compulsory
service.
The Legion has interested itself
in securing an amendment to the
national defense act Of 1920. We
have postponed in our national de-
Tense act the training of the mass
of our soldiers until after we de-
clare war. Most of the principal
powers of the world have the COM
pulsory system of service in time of
peace. Their young men are
trained from eighteen months to
three years before they declare
war"

(Bn q Worker Correspondent

RENTON, Pa. (By MaiD There
are two mines of the Union Collier
les here. Despite the name this
concern is one of the 100 per cent
open shop, penny-pinching type.
Since the smas hof the memorable
miners strike of 1929, when the
coal operators with the help of John
l.. Lewis and Pat Pagan sent $4,000
Western Penn. miners back to slave
for these blood suckers without an
agreement and conditions and wages
have grown steadily worse.
The direct and indirect wage cuts
have brought the wages lower Than
the 1917 scale. This was done by re-
moving the union acknowledgment
and robbing the men of half the coal
they load; the dead work which was
paid for narrow working places,
thick slate, bad bottom, etc, was cut
entirely. The miners are forced to
deal in the company store, where
the prices are much higher, and this
is not all.
The Union Galleries, in their
greed to increase the already over
swelled profits of the coupon clip
pers, neglect the most elementary
safety measures, and as a result the
accidents have gone up by leaps and
bounds. This negligence is respon-
sible for the explosion that took
place in the mine recently, in which
five men were burned badly one, a
lad of 16, was hurled through trap
door and mangled. His leg had to
be amputated as a result. It's a
miracle that all of the 400 men were
not blown to dust.
The state mining inspectors can
