 When 93 Years of Age

paWhuska, Okla, Nov. <. (UP)- When Henry Clay Jett of AVant served on jury here in a felony trial, it was the first time for the 93- year-old Cattleman. IL is believed he is the oldest man who ever sat as a juror in such trial.
 He could have claime1 exemption under the law which excuses a citi- zen over GO years of age from ser vice. but not Jett. ''l was sum- moned as a juror" he said. And it wouldn't have been right to slip out Of it just on account of age.'
 Jett likes to hear attorneys argue and heard the Lincoln Douglas de- bate from the steps Of Knox col lege in Galesburg. III.
 When asked about his strength. "There's not m m in this court room who can throw me down." He looks after q small heard of cattle near Ayant, just 10 have something 10 do.

GASTONIA, N. c., Aug. 13.
Announcement of a "volun-
tary" reduction in hours from
so to 55 per week, without a
cut in wages is hailed in the
Southern press as great "gen-
erosity" on the part of the CASTOR
County mill owners which makes the
"siren song" for organization and
struggle for better conditions and
wages superfluous. At the National
Textile Workers Union, organizers
said that this move is direct result
of the unions struggle, and at the
same time a futile effort to stem the
tide of militancy by throwing the
workers a bone.
What the mill owners and the
press generally are hailing as a vol
untary reduction in hours in Gas

Hugo Oehler, southern district or

The biggest Sacco-Vanzetti dem

the second anniversary of their legal

The Sacco-Vanzetti memorial this

that it occurs on the eve of the
opening of another great class war
trial in which workers are, like Sacco
and Vanzetti, being threatened with
the electric chair because OF their

"THE AGE OF BLOODw

"My hope is that these casual
jottings, picked up here and there in
our appalling present-day civiliza-
tion, may accustom few readers to
the strangeness of truth, and open
the eyes of a public opinion, lulled
by childish legends, to the true pic
ture of the Twentieth Century-a
century that may be described as the
Age of Gold, of Steel, or of Jazz
Band, but above all, as the Age of

Thus Henri Barbusse, information
ally famous French Communist
writer, speaks of the tales of cap

The quotation is from his impas-
stoned dedication entitled "Deo
