When a committee of the union,
the Party and the League called on
Chief Tracy this afternoon to in
quire why the meeting had been
broken up after he had issued a per-
nit, he at first ordered the COM
mittee "to get the hell out of here"
When they refused to leave the po-
lice station, Tracy gave them an
audience and issued a permit for
another meeting, which will be held
next Saturday night at Governor
and Bridge SITS. 1t is planned to
make this big working class dem
onstration.

court this morning were Martin

R. Goldberg, Sol. Greenberg, Minnie
Donzinger, Eddie Swaysal and

thousands have been turned
out of their homes in mill vii

The mills, she said, are being
flooded with copies of the Gastonia
Gazette, in an effort to poison the
minds of the workers against the
National Textile Workers Union.
However, the union has distributed
thousands of pieces of literature
throughout these Georgia mills, and
the workers there are asking for
more organizers.
Fully rs per cent of the Gastonia
Gazette's pages are devoted to lies
about the union, relief and defense
organizations policies and activities.
This mill bosses sheet through the
insistent repetition hopes to con-
vince workers that black is really
white, that the union is organizing
workers for vicious purposes, and
not in preparation for struggle
against the starvation wages and
stretch-out system. The "Gassy

characterize it, is known as the

the enemy of the workers.

Wakeman's job on the stand was
to try to support the statements of
Schwab and other war-mongers who
testified Saturday by taking the
blame for hiring Shearer. Instead
of admitting that Shearer was at
Geneva with the knowledge of
Schwab and Grace and unofficially
representing the United States gov
ernment, Wakeman said that he
hired Shearer because he thought he
could get "an angle on Geneva that
would be different from that of or
dinary newspapermen.
Senator Shortridge, examining
Shearer, revealed by his questioning

DUDE RANCHERS
BEATING IT EAST

Bleak winter is settling on the vast
stretches of Treasure state playland,
and with the signs of fall and winter,
the most colorful residents of the state
the dude ranchers-are packing up
their fur-bedecked chaps, si~lver-plated
spurs, ten-gallon hats and are trek
king their way to Chicago or New
York.
For the dude ranchers don't like the
cold and few of them stay through the
winter.
Meantime the scores of ranchers in
southern Montana who turn their
places over to the summer cowboys
and cowgirls," commonly called dudes
are sadly bidding goodbye to Their
guests after a record-breaking season.
So successful has dude ranch1ng be-
come that many Of the ranches have
capacity reservations for the 1880 sea-
son already ON hand, according to T
Joe Cahill, secretary of the Dude
RancherS' Association and one of the
Vests most colorful characters.
In the summer the Office workers
business men and women who crave
the life of the great open spaces
come west to live q rough" life. II
is the business Of the ranchers to see
that the life Of these summer visitors
Is all that it is expected to be.
Camping trips, where the guests
must rough it-but not too roughly
are provided. Wild horses, but not
too wild, must be ridden.

1t used to take days to locate q band
of sheep on the prairies of Montana

located In a few hours and some times
| minutes, with the aid of an airplane.
How easy it is to find them by air.
ship was shown the other day when a
band Of 1900 sheep which had been
lost for four days in the lowlands
southwest of ToSton was found by
Aviator Earl T. Vance with an airplane.
The woolies belong to j. o. st. Clair
of TOstOn, which is IL miles south of
Townsend. One of Mr.. st. Glars herd
ers noticed that a large number Of
the sheep in his charge had disap-
peared. After they had been zone four
days he notified his employer and a
search "a started but the animals
could not be found.
Mr.. st. Clair appealed to Vance, who,
accompanied by one Of Mr.. st. Glars
employees and Leslie Barrett of Angus
ia, a sheep man, few over the terri
tory and quickly located the sheep.
The plane was landed near the band,
the sheep were counted, and more than
LOO accounted for. The Vance plane
returned three and one-half hours
after leaving.
