operation between the colleges, organ
lied for this purpose on the one hand,
and the A. A. u. on the other hand
each having Jurisdiction in its particu-
lar field. We believe there should be no
overlap or conflict Of authority. At the
present time there is such an overlap OF
jurisdiction, and we believe that much
of the misunderstanding between the
colleges and the A. A. U. is directly due
to this overlap. The A. A. U. has held
that after an undergraduate athlete has
registered with the A. A. U. Chat is,
has submitted proofs of his amateur
status and received registration card
to that effect he is member of the
A. A. u. If we understand the situa-
ton correctly, the A. A. U. then goes on
to claim the right to suspend an ath-
lete for cause, from such member
ship; to suspend a team on which
he is permitted to play: to suspend a
team which plays against team on
which he is permitted to play, ETC., etc.
"We believe that so far as college
athletes are concerned the claim by the
A. A. u. of its right of suspension is an
archaic device which no longer fits the
actual situation. We believe If any coll
lege of the first rank were convinced of
the bona fide amateur status of one Of
its athletes and the A. A. u. should on
any grounds attempt to suspend that
athlete, that the athletic authorities
of that college would neither recognize
nor take account of such suspension, so
far as intercollegiate competition Is
concerned. This is very blunt state
ment, but we believe 1t to be fact. II
the A. A. u should then attempt to
suspend the entire college team we be-
lieve that it would make no difference
whatever with other college competitors
In other words, be believe that the
Jurisdiction of the A. A. U. over college
athletes engaged in intercollegiate COM
petition does not In fact exist It can
exist only with respect to competitions
held directly under the auspices of the
A. A. u.
'Membership" Is Confusing.

the right to require the certification OF

grower had enough to contend with but comes
along now the phony peach disease, and tho
"phony' applies to the peach and not to tina

This disease seems to vent its harmful active

tacks the root systems, is to dwarf the trees

are, very disagreeable taste.
The disease has been known for some little
time and has spread now until it affects fully
80 per cent Of the commercial peach orchards
Of Georgia. Only one other State has been
affected so far-Alabama-and the trouble 50
far is localized in one county.
Extensive efforts at eradication have been
undertaken by the Department of Agriculture

and that it may ultimately be eliminated.

Poor little Norah Scripps was almost in

A meeting Of the Ridgewood sec

the Flushing Mansion 2 p. m. sharp
with about 200 members present.
The main speakers were the gen
eral chairmen of each of the strik-

Among the important steps taken
to spread the strike was mass pick
citing in front of the Elbee and
Diana shops, and organization of a
section strike committee which was
elected at the last general strike
committee meeting last Friday, De-
cember 9th.
In /. Miller's Shop, one of the
largest open shops in Long Island
they offered the workers a 10 per
cent reduction in the lasting room
and they flatly refused. The en-
ployer was forced to retreat. In the
Spencer shop, an open shop, they
also reduced the meagre wages
they were paying about 5 per cent
This shop has been underpaying
their workers about 20 per cent less
than the majority Of the shops in
Brooklyn and New York.

TORTURE NEGRO
FARM HANDS IN
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Fiendish Methods to
Force Confessions"

HELENA, Ark. Dec. 9.-Barbar-
Gus torture of Negro farmers in an
electric chair in order to extract
confessions" of murder and other
crimes alleged to be committed by
the farmers, was admitted by
Sheriff Barlow here.
James McAllister, a young Negro
farm worker, is the latest victim Of
the torture. He told of the fiendish
third degree torture used on him,
when he was placed in the electric
chair to make him confess" that
he had choked a six-year-old boy
to death.
County officers seated the Negro
farmer in the electric chair and
turned on the current until the
agony was unbearable. McAllister
stated that he signed a Confession"
so that the officers would not put
him in the chair again.
Barlow admitted that he had used
the electric chair on three previous
occasions, and that the chair had
been used by sheriffs before him on
Negro prisoners.
Wholesale torture Of the Negro
farmers, in the electric chair, of Ne
gro farmers, members Of a farmers
union, were revealed in connection
with the aftermath of the Phillips
