plans for fighting the injunction

c. Baltzell to issue a permanent in

1905 contract and to quiet the title
Of the stockholders to the company.

Constitution which provides that
property can not be taken without
due process Of law"

] for one have never been OF the
opinion that The school board Of my
home town could do no wrong and
for many years while I was in
school I felt that the board often
used other things than brains and
common sense in dealing with
school problems. =
You get a pretty good idea Of the
type OF school board that Miss
Simpson hammers at in "Treadmill'
when you read one of the weighty
decisions of the board Of the Oak
leyville high school,
Leslie was having a grand time
with her class in this country's pol
icy toward Mexico.
The school superintendent. one
Martin Galloway, who said Yes
sir" to everything that the board
asked. dropped in on the class when
they we're advancing their own ideas
about this country and Uncle Sam.
Galloway would not have dropped
in unless the school board had OBJ
iected to such freedom Of thought
on the part of the young people.
Galloway said to Leslie, But | am
afraid you are handling dynamite.
The board has never thought it wise
to stir up too much controversial
feeling. especially where the United
States is concerned. They feel that
to question the policy of our present
state department is hereSy. 1t in

the minds of our young people and
keeps them from being 100 per cent
Americans. ! don't believe I would
continue the discussion tomorrow"
And poor Leslie realizing the non
sense behind such an opinion of the
dear school board eliminated Mexi-
co" from her school room.
The author makes it clear that
she is not signaling out any specific
high school but points out the gen.
eraI danger that our modern stand
ardized educational system can do
to the teacher.

you ever see a group of them to-

so lacking in initiative. Why. in our
school there's only one chap, Jim

And David answers: Its the

BIZ Uitfd Press
DUBLIN. May 1.-The Irish Free
State government took precautions
today against the possibility of re-
newed Republican demonstrations
at the funeral of Austin Stack,
former Free State secretary for
home affairs
Stack vas one of the most fiery
Sim Feiners of the days when Ire
land was being transformed into its
present Wo-goyernment system.
Free State officials feared his fol-
lowers would use his funeral as an
excuse for demonstrations in favor
Of complete independence.
Stack, vino was 40 years old when
he died Sunday, had led a roman
tic career.
He was commandant in the Kerry
area when the attempt was made to
land German arms which Roger
Easement brought in a submarine
to ireland. Stack directed the ar
rangaments for the landing. but the
plan failed and Easement was exc
cuted
Stack was imprisoned and SEN
fenced to death after the Easter up
rising in 1916. but the sentence was
committed to a life term of penal
Servitude.
The following year he was re-
leased with canon de Valera and
was elected secretary of the Sim
Fem. Again imprisoned. he went
on a hunger strike in a Belfast jail
and suffered extremely.
In 1927 as a member of the dali

Great competitive drives to organize
The 100000 textile workers Of Dixie
are planned by organizers Of the
National Textile Workers Union and
he United Textile Workers Of
America.
In a statement to the United
Press. made while he was spending
the night in a Gastonia IN. c. jail
on a charge later dismissed, that
nc had kidnapped the wife of a
textile worker. Fred Erwin Beal. or
ganizer OF the National Textile
Workers Union, revealed plans for
The drive.
Alfred Hoffman southern repre-
sentative Of the United Textile
Workers. a union affiliated with the
American Federation Of Labor, has
announced like plans.
Neither Union Recognized
Significance of the two campaigns
lies perhaps in the TACT Jhat neither
union is recognized by any southern
textile mill. Several mill manage
ments have intimated they consider
the present strikes highly important
because if they succeed, the unions
will secure a fOOthold in the south.
So far activities of the two unions
cautiously have been kept from col
liding. The United Textile group
has directed the strike at Elizabeth
ton, and after conference, decided
10 delay activities in the North
Carolina field. where the strikes are
controlled by the more radical
union.
Beal told the United Press a con-
ference to be attended by delegates
from every large textile mill in The
south was planned i'm the near fu-
ture for the purpose Of extending
the campaign and starting SYM
pathy strikes.
Ask Workers for Funds
I'VE intend to organize every
where in the south and unite the
southern workers with the thou
sands of textile workers in other
parts of the country Beal eX-
planned. at may take long time
but we hope to have the entire field
organized.
Hoffman, southern representative
OF the Federation of Labor group,
said that organized labor through
out the country would be asked to
contribute to fund of $1,0O0,000
for the United Textile Workers of
America campaign in the south.
Both Hoffman and Beal claim the
southern textile operative has been
exploited and forced to accept
starvation wages.

visit when she came to her decision, and, having
found It, she acted on it without delay. First,
she went to Shelby. I'm going home" she

Shelby"

There's only one reason-I don't love you

Mother was right, then" he burst out "She
thought all the time it wasn't suitable much
as she liked you. I'm not your kind. She
has told me so all the time"
Leila smiled mere twist of the lips that
wanted to sob instead. "Yes-your mother was
right" She was leaving him his mother, un-
touched, not ray Of her glamour dimmed.
That much she would and could do for him.
She meant to be very grand and self-con-
trolled when she went in to say good-by to Mrs.
Wayne; she meant to play out their farce Of
mutual esteem and politeness to the last line.
But, when she saw the triumph in the older
womans eyes, the almost fanatic exultation, the
civilized part Of her gave way.
MY dear-I'm so sorry" said Mrs. Wayne
"Shelbys so wretched, 50 very, very wretched
And you, I know you are not very happy I
wish you could have been kinder to him, my
poor boy"
This was too much
you're very amusing" she said without
volition. my dear Mrs Wayne, thank you for
a remarkable experience-and good-by."
AS she drove away she noticed that for the
first time since she'd been there, the curtains
of Mrs. Wayne's room were wide OPEN She
turned her head away, held back her tears.
There would be plenty Of time for them when
she got home again. In spite of the pain, she
was curiously relieved, clean with asepsis Of re-
nunciation. She had done the straight thing.

There has been an awful lot Of internal dis

shooting was all about. They are headed by
some fellow called Chang. He Is kinder the

Yet through all this they have lived and ex-

They have taught more love and instilled more
respect in their families for each other, than
we even have for the law. Now Russia kinder

that it would get them recognized China

makes Russia sore at them is because they
have given EN- no reasons to fight.
