JUDGE BARS PART
OF RIOT TESTIMONY
Deputy Says Organizer Had
Asked Workers to Be
Ready for Trouble.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MARION, N. c.. November 16.-
Testimony that Alfred Hoffman, or
sanizer for the United Textile Workers
of America, had told union members
in the Clinchfleld mill village to be
ready for trouble IN the Marion Manu-
featuring Co. village, mile away, and
when called to come prepared. was
ruled out of his trial with four others
on charges of rebellion against the
State and conspiracy to riot today.
The charges against Hoffman, w. E. S.
Fowler, Del Lewis, Lawrence Hogan and
Hugh Hall grew from disorders in the
Marion Manufacturing Co. mill village
during textile strikes here last Summer.
Six men were killed in a riot on Oc-
tober 2. which climaxed the disorders.
Ben Hendley, a deputy sheriff, gave
the testimony which Judge G. V.
Cowper, presiding. ruled out. Hendley
told of Hoffman maing a speech to the
Clinchfield mill union members and
related that at one point he said:
Il want you to stay prepared so that
any minute when we send a rushlng
automobile over to Clinchfield and give
the sign you can come TO East Marion
and come prepared"
Clash of attorneys over admittance
of the testimony and Judge CowperS
ruling upon it featured todays brief
session OF court before it was adjourned
over Sunday.
Judge Cowper held it was necessary
to assume the meaning of the order in
an effort to find any suggestions the
strikers should resort to illegal effort
and therefore the testimony was in
competent.
Further testimony relating to an as
sault by strikers upon workmen at the
Marion Manufacturing Co. mill on
July II came from Hendley, who oc-
cupied the witness stand throughout
the session.

Mrs. Pearl Love, 1908 31st Street
NV. said a few days ago: Il know
Millers Herb Extract has made me
a we'll woman again and I want to
tell every sufferer that here is a
medicine they can depend on. i
was in q bad shape when l began
using it and nothing / used helped
at all. Rheumatism and neuritis
caused me great pain. my hands
and limbs seemed as though they
we're asleep and l would have spells
of weakness and could hardly stand
up. food I ate did not digest, but
instead soured on the stomach, caus-
ing it to swell and bloat. I was con-
tinually belching up sour bile and
for days at time my stomach was
so sore could hardly stand to touch
1t. Chronic constipation made 1t
necessary for me to take strong
laxative, which in most cases only
upset me and caused me great
deal of suffering with nervous head
aches. My daughter-in-law advised
me to try the Herb Extract for-
merly called Herb juice and I cam
not praise it too highly, as it has
simply made a new person out OF
me. No longer do suffer with those
stomach pains as I did in the past;
all signs of numbness, also rheu-
matte and other pains are gone:
food agrees with me, and I feel
stronger in every way. This Herb
Extract acts wonderfully on the
bowels, also liver; carries of the
body poisons and relieves that tired,
sluggish. worn-out feeling. No one
can realize the true value OF this
medicine until they have given 1t
trial, and I urge every one IN poor
health TO give it trial"
Owing TO the great demand for
Miller's Herb Extract formerly
called Herb Juicel we have found II
necessary to place another repre-
sentative in Washington. These men.

medicine, are located at store No. 2.

FERGUSON GIVES VIEWS.
Canadian Premier Denies Attempt or
Intent to Control Price.

TORONTO, Ontario, November 10
canadian Press Premier Howard
Ferguson, informed yesterday Of meet
ing of the news print committee OF the
American Newspaper Publishers ASsoci-
alton in New York, said there has
been no intention or attempt on the
part of the provincial government to
control the manufacture or the price Of
news print.
What we have sought to do" said
Mr.. Ferguson, lin the interests of the
many people in Ontario and Quebec de-
pendent on the industry for a living
and in the interests of the investors in
the news print companies is to see that
whatever shortage in production exists
shall be distributed fairly over the va
rious industries.
THE International Paper Co. is run
ming two large plants in the Province
of Quebec at about 1877 or 1913 per cent,
while other mills in Ontario, which
should be getting share in this extra
tonnage. are running about rs per cent
Of the time. 1t is thought, to overcome
the loss under which some mills are
operating, that reasonable advance in
price would greatly improve the condi-
tions.
But this is a matter which must be
worked out by the industry. All our
governments have done is to make rep
reservations to protect themselves and
their people, and we hope our repre-
sensations will have proper considera-
ton at the hands of both manufac-
turers and publishers"

IS THRUST TOFORE
U. S. Publishers Committee
Urges Convention if Canada
Boosts Cost.

NEW YORK, November 19.-The fol-
lowing statement was issued yesterday
by w. G.. Chandler, representing the
news print committee of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
"A special meeting Of the news print
committee of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association was held in New
York yesterday to consider reports to
the effect that the provincial govern
ments of Ontario and Quebec and the
Canadian news print manufacturers
have under consideration the establish
ing of an increased price for news
print through political control, notwith-
standing the existing condition Of large
overproduction.
THE committee views the entire sit
uation with the deepest concern and
feels that inasmuch as the law Of sup
ply and demand is threatened by a
combination of political and news print
manufacturing groups. Is is the duty Of
the committee to recommend to the
board of directors of the association
that if such a higher price be an
nounced a convention of all daily news
papers Be called to consider the imme-
date reduction of news print consump-
ton and any steps which may seem
advisable as protection against the
menace Of such artificial control"
