Legal Drinks
Judge and Prosecutors
Sample Liquid at
South Bend.

By Times Special
COUTH BEND. Ind, Feb. 23.-
- Federal Judge Thomas w.
Slick, District Attorney Oliver M.
LOOMS, and his assistant, George
L. Rullison, took a drink today in
the Federal court room here
The drink was wine of 18 per
cent alcoholic content, despite the
fact that all three drinkers are
sworn upholders of the dry law
and Rullison is a former minister.
John Nicolini, restaurant keep
er before the court on a charge of
violating the dry law. sent samples
of a tonic to Loonlis for a test,
after selling it by the drink. The
district attorney took a drink
as test. So did the judge and
Rullison. They announced the
liquid started by tasting like wine,
but left a bitter after taste, due
supposedly to something placed in
it for medicinal purposes.
"Well, john" the court re-
marked, "this seems to be legal,
but you had better stop selling it
for beverage purposes. It's all
right to use it in cooking"
Nicolini showed stamps to the
effect that the liquid had been ap-
proved by the United States
treasury department as a medi-
cine.

PROSPERITY IS

MOTOR HORIZON
Every Indication Points to
Great Business Year
in Industry.
BY A. r. CLANCY

President and General Manager, Oakland
Motor Car Company.
Consideration of all the indica-

the future of American industry
leaves only one possible deduction

largest ylelQ bflaG
nature has given our farmers since
1920. 1t is estimated that the pur-
chasing power of our agricultural
population has increased by some
thing like Z or per cent.
A steady improvement has been
registered in practically all branches
of industrial employment.
The nation is earning close to
100000, 100000 annually and has a
total wealth of approximately five
times that amount.
The automotive industry, now
supporting about 10 per cent of our
population and ranking on a par
with agriculture in the creation OF
wealth, just has finished a year of
record production. 1t enters 1929
with momentum of production
and sales that augurs well for the
entire year.
Many Industries Active
Steel, copper, and many other key
industries are exceptionally active.
Corporation earnings are at a high
level.
OF equally vital importance is
the fact that the nation is assured
of at least four years of admins
tration by President whose vast
and varied capabilities probably are
unsurpassed in any individual
among our millions of citizens.
Money rates have been high, but
many large American corporations
arranged for necessary financing
when low interest rates prevailed.
It may be assumed logically that the
higher rates of recent months are
unlikely to exercise any substantial
adverse effect upon business in gen.
eraI.
Business horizons are widening
steadily. The world is larger. BUSH
ness is being done on an infinitely
larger scale. The last five years
have seen standardization and in
tegration of industry which have
brought production costs sharply
downward. In a majority of cases
these economies have been passed
on to the consumer. He receives
more for his money.
AS buying power thus increases,
the consumer contributes further
to the aggregate turnover, quicken
ing the currents through the chan
nels of trade. Bank clearances and
the growing tonnage of railroad
freight reflect the accelerating BUSH
ness pace resulting from these IA
vorable factors.
Great Advance Ahead
Science. discovery and invention
have contributed nightly to pre-
sent prosperity, and in no direction
has this been demonstrated more
emphatically than in the automo-
bile industry.
A new process is invented which
performs a factory operation in a
few seconds less time; a new ma
chine is developed that does a GER
tain Job more accurately or at a
slighthly lower cost The new ma
chine or the new process is adopted
1mmediaUeiy.
Because, multiplied by immense
production, these few seconds or
those few cents or that slight gain
in quality assume such tremendous
proportions that replacement of the
old by the new becomes highly i'm
perative.
The automotive industry, gene
rally recognized as the most accu-
rate barometer of American bust
ness conditions, in 1928 eclipsed its
best previous record with total
production of something like 4,60o,-
600 units. It should establish still
higher record during 1929.

the rotten conditions in the other
mills by reading about the strike in
the paper, so now it is actually
against orders in the mills to read.
They tell US that the Gastonia
Gazette is our community paper and

friend.
1t gives only one side, the COM
pany's side. Stewart W. Craner
stated in the Charlotte Observer that
we skilled laborers in the mill at
Cranerton made wages ranging from
$3.50 to $24 a week. He said that
cardroom unskilled labor made $3.50
and spinners made 1854 and that
frame hands made $24 for 60 hours.
The Workers Side.
Well that is the bosses side of it,
] worked in the Cranerton mill and
if any such conditions exist, no one
knows any thing about it. If you
want to find the truth about our
conditions go from one worker to an
other and you will be surprised at
what you find out.
The workers work for SIP a week
of go hours. Men with large families
work for $3.50 a week. The paper
prints only what the bosses want
them to print, and l have sent sew
eral pieces to the Gastonia Gazette,
which they didn't print.
They say only the lowest grade
of people will join union, but some
of our best people around here be-
long to the National Textile Work
ers Union; what they call low people
| is the best people forced down by
the mill bosses to a low standard of
living.
Keep Frighting.
Well keep fighting for our rights,
under men of courage like Beal and
Pershing. Workers with common
sense know that what the bosses
fight against is for our benefit. We
will all fight for an hour day and
wage that can give our families
decent living and our children an
education. I hope this will reach
home to every worker, not only in
the south, but also throughout the
world at large.

Well, Monday, bright and early,

off. I flowed along with the white

trance in that gigantic building
which opens to the stairs that lead
to the employment office. I climbed
the stairs.
The females are separated from
the males. There is a sign which
says "Men applicants" and another
which says women applicants" on
the partition at the top of the stairs.
The partition forms an alley, the
wall on one side, and the partition,
which is of wood, on the other. 1t
is darkly Illuminated up here by
electric light.
Then I was initiated to the en-
ployer's game of you Wait" The
game is this: You stand in line and
wait-while they take their time
about seeing you. There were about
200 young men in the booth, which
is an imitation of a room, that I
reached after standing in line for
about an hour and half.
Some Of us We're making out ap-
plications-a very few of us. These
applications, l am to discover, re-

feet from the woman by a special

CATCH GASTONIA
SPY ATTEMPT TING
TOPOISON WATER
Strike rs Recognize
Stool Pigeon
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
GASTONIA, N. c., (By Mail) -
l am always proud to write for the
Daily Wicker about the Loray strike
in Gastonia,' because I know that the
Daily Worker will print just what a
worker writes. We strikers of the
Loray mill are going through lot
of struggle, fighting AGAINST the long
hours, low wages, against the bosses
and capital. And we are having
some hard time of it, we have to
guard our headquarters and tents
every night.
Just today we had a spy in our
union office. He had a blackjack,
and two bottles of some kind of
medicine. A striker from Bessemer
City was here at the time. She
stated that the same man was at her
home in Bessemer City one night
this week, after midnight. His
business was that he wanted drink
of water. They gave him a
drink of water and he still wanted to
argue, so they had to drive him from
their home. Later in the morning
the strikers became suspicious, that
he might have poisoned the water
So, they had the spring tested, and
the doctor said that there was some
thing wrong with the water. But it
would be three or four days before
they could tell what it was. We
turned the man over to the city
police. They came into our office
with a frown on their faces, and
acted as if they did not want to take
the spy. The spy was very happy all
the time, when the police arrested
him they looked at each other and
smiled. Of course that shows what
the police are.
