The practice or ordering undesirable
characters out of town is coming in
for a scoring in many places. If some
one is too rotten to live in one COM
munity, why inf1ict another commun-
ity with his presence? Why order dis
reputable characters out a city and
have them locate in another placer AT
Austin recently a whole family Was
ordered out of town and as per orders
they disappeared. Neighboring towns
are now wondering where they are as
the name of the family was withheld.
They may be in neighboring town
or even here in Ely.

Incomplete reports indicate that a
still better showing will be made for
the month of August, Mr.. Brown says.
Our new item to appear in the August
report will be overweight trucks, as
the men have spent considerable time
weighing loads This is done for the
protection of the highway surface.
'The travelling public and city and
county officials generally have given
us splendid cooperation" Mr.. Brown
says. "All the men report that they
have found motorists wide awake to
the need of doing something to reduce
the number of accidents and make the
highways safer. The average driver
who violates the traffic rules is not
only willing to correct his habits when
it is called to his attention but he Is
thankful because he knows that such
warnings are for his own safety's sake
as well as for others"

PACIFIST DENIED
CITIZENSHIP

Washington. - United States su-
preme court, by a 6-to-3 vote, denied
citizenship to Rosika Schwimmer,
Hungarian pacifist, who declared she
would not bear arms in defense Of the
United States. Mrs. Schwimmer
came into prominence in connection
with the World War Ford peace ship
that was intended "to get the boys
cut of the trenches before Christ
mas"
The majority opinion held that un-
der the constitution it is the duty of
citizens "by force Of arms to defend
our government against all enemies
whenever necessary" The opinion de-
clared that contrary views is bad
influence.
Justices Holmes, Brandeis and San
ford were the dissenters.
Justice Holmes held that the con
stitutional principle of free thought
should be the governing factor in the
case.
"If there is any principle of the
constitution that more imperatively
calls for attachment than any other, .
he said, sit is the principle Of free
thought. Not free thought for those
who agree with US, but freedom for
the thought that we hate"

IMMUNITY
From War Gas Held ImpOs.
sible By Red Cross
Experts

New York.-The horrors of war
gas may prove an effective check on
war, according to Associated Press
cables.
The dispatch states that DR.. Ger
trude Woker, Of Berlin, described how
the international committee of Red
Cross experts, at their recent meeting
in Brussels, proved that no protection
exists for the civilian population in
war of the future.
Brisanz shells with time fuses are
being made which, when dropped from
airplanes, bury themselves in the
earth, but do not explode until either
A, 6, 8 or even 36 hours later
Against such deadly missils even the
best organized rescue squads would
prove unavailing Masks are no pro
lection.
Every military attack of the future
the Red Cross experts believe, viii
comprise three different kinds 0.
arms, each of which renders the pro
tective measure for one incompat
ible for the other.
The committee agreed that none
of the recommended measures fol
safeguarding humanity offers an ade
quate protection for the civilian pop
ulation against poison gas attacks
and that future chemical warfare
is likely to produce the most fright
full catastrophe among nations non
combatants."

SAME EVERYWHERE
Porto Rico Absentee Land
lords Refuse COmpen-
SatiOn

Washington. - Santiago Iglesias,
member of the Porto Rican senate
and secretary Of the Pan-American
Federation Of Labor, has been called
by the labor movement to return to
Porto Rico and attend special legis-
lative session that will consider, relief
for injured workers who have been
denied compensation.
Large corporations in the island
refuse to contribute to the Porto
Rican compensation fund and nearly
S1,500,000 is due the dependents of
$4,000 killed and injured workers."
said Mr.. Iglesias.
"The legislature appropriated
money to pay these claims, but Gov
ernor Towner declined to approve the
act. He said they should be paid out
of taxes. Corporations are draining
the island Of it's wealth and not only
refuse to pay into the compensation
fund, but repudiate tax obligations.
Education, sanitation and public
works are affected and destitution
is general, while disabled workers
and their dependents can not receive
their just dues.
Governor Towner's plea that these
awards be paid out of taxes is no
remedy as the question is before
United States courts and it will be
years before final decision is made
"The legislature now proposes to
Fay the compensation awards on in
stallments, and it is hoped that this
compromise can be agreed to. The
situation is another illustration Of ap-
palling conditions in the island, where
absentee landlordism and poverty go
hand in hand"

MILLIONAIRES
Piling Up, Mergers Increas-
ing; Rich Grow Richer

Washington.-The number of mil
lionaires in this country increased
more than 400 per cent during 1922
1927, said Senator Walsh (Mass.) in
discussing income tax returns on the
floor of the senate.
The increase in the number of indi-
viduals declaring net incomes in ex-
cess of 100000 was TIA per cent; the
increase in the zone between $4,000
and 100000 was 81 per cent and in
the zone between $4,000 and $4,000
66 per cent.
In the same period the net income
Of all individuals in the class report
ing less than $4,000 actually de-
creased 10 per cent.
The net income of corporations with
net incomes under $4,000 have but
slightly increased, while the net in
comes of corporations in excess of
$5 100000 increased more than 100
per cent.
Senator Walsh said that these fig.
ures confirm the opinion that the
wealth OF. the country is being rapid
" concentrated in the hands of linn
tied number of corporations and q
limited number of individuals, that
the very wealthy are increasing their
wealth out of all proportion to other
/ elements of our population, and that
the income of individuals, with small
er incomes are steadily decreasing
without any corresponding decrease
in the cost of living; that the earn
ings of corporations are being stead
lily concentrated in limited number
of combines or mergers"

By Staff Correspondent


Elizabethton, Tenn. GLNS)-The
great strike of Elizabethton rayon
workers has been settled. A truce,
if not peace, has come in this amaz-
ing industrial battle in Happy Valley.
Union leaders are making no loud
claims that victory has been won,
and the unbending Doctor Arthur
Mothwurf, head of the Bemberg and
Glanzstof plants, issues his expected
proclamation that he has not dealt
with the union nor has he recognized
the union.
The doctor, however, declares that
no man will be Disseminated against
for union membership or for union
activities carried on outside the.
plants.
1t was for the right to organize
that the big walkout of March 22 was
staged, and the right to organize
has been the only issue in this great
fight from that day until last Satur-
day afternoon when the situation was
settled by an almost unanimous vote
of some 1000 union members in the
great wooden tabernacle here.
Union leaders agreed with Doctor
Mothwurf, through Miss Anna Vein
stock, federal mediator, by whom the
settlement was negotiated, that the
statement would be issued regarding
the terms agreed upon between the
committee Of employees and the COM
pany officials and adopted by the
lstriking employees who are union
members.
The papers here, however, carry
full details of the settlement, and the
Knoxville News-Sentinel in particular,
Scripps- Howard paper, prints an ex-
cellent analysis and detailed account
of the whole situation and the meth
/ lods by which the strike was ended.
Fair Personnel Director
The crucial fact in bringing about
| the vote to end the strike was the
announcement by the companies Sat
urday afternoon that M. E. T. Will
son had been appointed personnel di-
! rector of the two corporations, and
would have full power over hiring
/ and firing.
Mr.. Wilson will tell any employe
who seeks to return to work and can't
get back why he is not being hired
| If the person feels he is being dis
criminated against the committee
which the agreement sets up, will take
up the case with Director Wilson and
arbitrate the matter.
Wilson comes here from the north
He has been the personnel director of
several big textile mills, and has
dealt with the United Textile Work
ers in Passaic, and the officials OF
the union say that he is a fair man
and that they are confident new
regime will be instituted in regard
to labor policies in the big plants
here.
L.. 1t is evident that the appointment
Of Wilson was tacit recognition Of
the terrific mistakes that had beer
made here in the past, by the Prus.
sian overlords in their handling o1
Tennessee mountain labor.
The strikers did not jump at ths
II agreement offered and would have

DISCHARGED
Workers Is National Prob
lem, Says Mine Chief

Pittsburgh, Pa.-"Displacement Of
workers who have reached the age of
40 and 45 illustrates one of the many
short-sighted policies of employers, ;
said P. T. Fagin, president District
No. S, United Mine Workers.
Employers" said Mr.. Fagin, "fail
to realize how the discharge of these
workers react on themselves. 1t
weakens the morale of the victims
associates. Every employer knows, or
should know, the result of dispirit-
ed group of workers who fear they
will be thrown on the street when the
fateful 40 or 45 arrives"
The mine workers official made this
comment in referring to the case of
Andrew j. Rowan, who was victimized
by the Pittsburgh coal trust and who
later secured employment as laborer
in Pittsburgh glass house, only to
be discharged when he "passed the
s.ge limit"
There was no question of Rowan's
ability to work, but the rigid rule was
applied, regardless Of conditions.
"Rowan's case is similar to thou
sands of other cases." said President
Fagla. First, they are victimized
for belonging to the union or they
are displaced by automatic machinery.
They are forced to accept any employ
ment, invariably at lower wage.
Living standards are thus reduced.
Then they are discharged because of
an age limit when they have years of
useful labor before them"
