POLICE BEAT UP
DEMONSTRATORS
Mcdonald Guarded by
Over Thousand Cops

Tammany Hall police to the num-
Der of about one thousand who were
protecting j. Ramsey Macdonald OF
his arrival il New York, broke up {
demonstration shortly after II a
m. yesterday outside Pennsylvania
station, Seventh Ave. and 32d ST..
when the British premier took the
train for Washington where he will
spend the next few days with Presi
dent Hoover.
Anna Pagrebusky was arrested
and held in $500 bail for trial on
Oct. 7th. She is charged with dis
orderly conduct. The International
Labor Defense is in charge of the
defense.
AS soon as Macdonald stepped
cut of his automobile, decorated
with American and British flags, the
demonstrators, members of the Com
munist Party, Young Communist
League, All-AmericaA Anti-Imperial-
ist League an dthe International La
Dor Defense raised their banners de-
nouncing British Imperialism. More
than a score of workers were beaten
up. Morris Fine and Ben Brenner
were most severely assaulted.
Police 10 Feet Apart.
Hundreds of patrolmen who lined
the street from the Battery to Penn
sylvania Station at intervals of 10
feet, were on the alert to stem any
demonstration. Scores of mounted
police, motor cycle police and detect
ives also helped to protect the labor
misleader and betrayer from the
wrath of the workers of New York.
The demonstration started as soon
as Macdonald stepped out of the
automobile. Due to the unusually
large amount of police present, the
demonstrators were not able to
reach the front of the Penn station,
which was carefully guarded by hun
dreds of patrolmen. Assembling on
the right side of the street in front
of the Pennsylvania Hotel, the work
ers raised the banners and threw
hundreds of leaflets issued by the
Communist Party into the crowd,
some OF which blew near Macdonald.
Workers Attacked.
Also simultaneously with Mac
Donald getting out of the car, about
100 motor cycle policemen jumped
off their machines and sailed into
the line of workers holding the ban
ners. Hitting right and left with
their fists, they quickly broke up the
demonstration. They were assisted
by patrolmen who were Tired up
along Seventh Ave. to the number of
about 1000. Due to the large num-
Der of police, the demonstrators were
outnumbered almost 10 to one. The
banners were torn up, some of the
workers being driven into the hotel,
while others were chased by the
police in the direction Of 33rd st.
and Sixth Ave.
30 Feet Away.
By the time the demonstration
was broken up Macdonald had en-
tered the railroad station and was
on his way to Washington. AL
though the demonstration took place
less than so feet from the British
labor imperialist, he never turned
his head in its direction. However,
he looked worried and apparently
knew what was going on. Having
confidence that the Tammany police

"A1A1O4N, ~ S.J wv X
Young James Roberts, textile
striker, died today in the hos
pital here of wounds received
when Sheriff Adkins and his
1eputized mill. gunmen per-
petrated a massacre of unarmed
mass pickets at the gates of the
Marion Manufacturing Company
Wednesday morning.
The other four strikers who have
died so far were buried in mass
funeral participated in by nearly
thousand people today in Marion.
The funeral became great demon
stration against the terror, in spite
off every effort of the United Tex
tile Workers misleaders to keep it
on a sweet Christian plane.
Preachers and Bankers.
Workers standing around, dressed
in rough brown shirts and overalls,
heard five preachers, including Rev.
A. J. Music, head of the so-called
A.F.L. progressives, or "Muste
Group" tell the strikers to rely on
the vengeance of god, and support
the U.T.W. Music began his SER
mon with bible text. They heard
banker jenkins, of Ashville, tell
them that he was glad to hear that
Jesus was in their midst, and that
he had always told his associates in
Gastonia that the U.T.W. could be
of much service to the mill owners,
as it hated the Communists and the
National Textile Workers Union as
much as they did. "The textile
workers have produced all my
wealth." said Jenkins, who owns
about half of Buncomb county, and
who seemed to regard the slaughter
of so many workers as a waste of
labor power.
Workers Will Act.
Vice President German of the U.
7. W. asked for senate investiga-
tion, and John Peel, vice president
of the North Carolina Federation of
Labor, told the strikers to leave
their cause with god. Local preach
ers said the whole trouble was due
to the presence of the devil in the
community.
But the strikers and workers from
surrounding mills continued to talk
among themselves of carrying on
the strike, of extending the fight,
of involving all the southern mills,
in great movement against the
starvation wages, speed-up and rot

more than ever before, how abso-

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. A.
The opening of the states
case in the Gastonia trial in
court here this morning was
featured by the defense bring
ing out the fact hat Otto Ma
son, one of the most important Of
the witnesses for the mill owner
prosecution, is and was a hired
Manville-Jenckes stool pigeon for a
long time before the June 7 raid in
which Aderholt was killed, and for
whose death seven workers are being
tried on murder charges.
The prosecution tried again in this
trial to introduce sensational stunts
intended to prejudice the jury by an
appeal to emotion, similar to that
of the introduction of the ghastly
effigy of Aderholt, which was used
in the first trial, although ruled out
by the judge.
Diagram Shows Beal.
This time they tried a picture Of
Aderholt, and a diagram of the
scene of the shooting, showing the
body of Aderholt, and with like
nesses of Beal and McGinnis promi-
nently displayed.
Following the previous decision in
the effigy matter, this present ma
terial was ruled out without the
jury seeing it.
The textile strikers and organizers
are being tried before a jury COM
posed mostly of farmers. The jury
men are: John L. Todd, rural mail
carrier; E. L. Moore, Ford Motor
Company employe; Zeke Johnson, re-
tired business man, and j. A. Helms,
C. L. Hill, j. w. Elliott, R. N.

Iceland is making impressive preparations for next years celebration of the one-thousandth niversary of it's "Althing," or Parliament. Democracy had it's birth in the North. Out of

 To this epochal celebration the United States has been invited One man in Congress appears to have understood the significance and importance Iof this event. Representative Burtness of North Dakota is earnest for acceptance of Icelands invitation. He has introduced joint resolution
 in Congress providing that special delegation of five official representatives of the American people be sent to Iceland upon the coming occasion We owe the debt Columbus came perhaps Bren-

Governor Roosevelt and the Presidency.
(New York World.

The office of Governor of the State of New York is a post of great honor and great opportunity. It is natural that when a man has been elected to this office the question of his advancement to the Presidency should interest the public and the press. Particularly is this true if the happens to be Democrat For New York is Republican State; the election of Democratic Governor is a tribute to the character of the candidate and the con- fdence he inspires; immediately he becomes an outstanding figure in his party In these circum- stances it is inevitable, if it is not desirable, that ambitious hopes and far-Sghted plans should be read into every important action and every cham pionship of new issue the part of Demo- cratic Governor at Albany
 In a statement to The World Governor Roose- vet says that he is deeply disturbed by published rumors that he is already angling for his party's nomination for the Presidency T made it perfect ly clear at Albany immediately after my nomina- tion" the Governor declares, that for these two years am concerned only with the administration of the New York State Government. This is a mans sized job which takes all my time and have not devoted and shall not devote any time or thought to purely speculative matters which do not concern the State"
 This is level-headed statement. The responsi- bilties of Governor Roosevelt's present post are large enough to occupy his time. The Presidential campaign of 1882 is still remote and has the faintest notion what issues it will raise MT Roose velts real opportunity lies at home in service tC the people of this State. He has shown himself well of that fact in the work he has already done to modernze the social legislation of the State
 to give it decent hospitals, to restore prosperity tC it's farms and to fashion in its interest con- structive plan for the development of it's water power the St. Lawrence River.

METHODIST DIVINE LECTURING CHAIRMAN WICKERSHAM
 ON LAW.

The Methodist Clipsheet Dr. Clarence True Will sons publications, reads Chairman Wckersham of the Law Enforcement Commission lecture because he suggested that there ought to be cooperation between the States and the Federal Government not only in the enforcement of Prohibition but in its interpretation the modification of the enforcement law It's position is that the Vol stead Act sets a standard and the States are bound to aid i'll the enforcement of that law with out modification further interpretation Other wise, presumably it's former declaration that the States that buck out of the Union and ought parts set forth by the other States The discus sion is of course based the provision of the Eighteenth Amendment giving both the Federal and State governments concurrent jurisdiction"
 It is generally thought that MT Wickersham's S reference to interpretation or modification means that the eminent lawyer cannot see anything con current" in situation where the Federal Govern ment does all the interpreting and simply commands the States to act they told to act. It is unreasonable to suppose that Constitution makers would require any of the separate States to enforce law, made by other States, which the people of the State oppose. As matter of fact, under the circumstances, the States which have either re- peaed or refused to pass enforcement statues but leave the Federal Government free hand at en- forcement, very consderate of Federal author ity when compared with those States which by statute practically nullified the Fugitive Slave Law and the Constitution to which it conformed
 We suspect that MT Wickersham has been a law student too long and is too of himself to take instructions from Dr. Clarence True Will son lecture.

LITTLE CHANGE FOR IMPERIAL PRE-
 PARENTAL TARIFF.

The Manchester Guardian does not see how an Imperial preferential tariff can be made practcape It contends that the interests of Great Britain and the Colonies in the premises not at all identical The Colonies it says interested particularly ill manufactured exports They desire market for manufactured goods. On the other hand, all that Great Britain wants from the Colonies are foodsuff and raw material These may enter Great Britain duty free now If Great Britain should give her foodstuff and raw material market wholly to the Dominions she would gain nothing but added living costs unless the Dominions would give Britain free entrance for manufacturers. And that is just what the protectionists in the Colonies do not want The Guardian, discussing this proposition of absolute free trade within the Empire countries with high tariffs against the rest of the world said:
 The still more ambitious program of
 Free Trade Empire with tariff against
 the rest of the world has also been resur-
 rected But it demands even less considera-
 tion The Protectionist line of reasoning
 which prevents the Dominons from giving
 British manufacturers easy and sure entry
 into their markets beneath the tariff wall
 applies with stronger force to the
 suggestion of a completely Free Trade Em-
 pire In fact, the Domnons will not
 tertain the idea for moment.
 The Dominons are following MT. Amery's
 advice in reckoning foreign trade valuable
 only in so far it consists of manufactured
 exports. So long this strange and per
 sistent delusion survives, long will Elm
 pire building, on the basis either of reciprocal
 preference or of Free Trade, remain diff
 cult unattainable ideal So long as 1t lasts
 all discussions about Imperial tariff policy
 necessarily put a strain upon the cordial
 relations between different parts of the Elm
 pire which happily still subsist But there
 may be, and probably are, other ways in
 which it would be possible to extend inter-
 Imperial trade.
 The Guardian thinks it strange that there should be any emotion Chancellor of the Excheque Snowdens Free Trade speech, that any on could think he would approve of a protective ar rangement under the of Imperial prefer ence. He is a Free Trader in Free Trade Gov ernment and, the Guardian says, there has no been time when his speech could not have beel predicted with certainty"

He also declared that British Columbia produces more than 48 per cent. of all the fish values in the Dominion of Canada British Columbia's fish catch exceeds that of Nova Scotia, which ranks second among the Provinces, by $15,o0000O and ex- ceeds that of all the other Provinces except Nova Scotia, combined by $7815,000.
 This is fine record for great Province. How ever, British Coumbias fisheries production is only about one-half as valuable as that of Alaska.

Drought in England.

There has been no rainfall of sufficient conse- quence to relieve the anxiety which is being felt about the water supplies. The Northwest of Eng land, usually too lavshly drenched, has suffered more than the South The effects of the drought are being felt most in districts which use water largely for industrial purposes Mills in some places are unable to run for full weeks work. Bailey the center of the heavy woolen industry has only twenty days supply Manchester has thirty and many other towns are better off. The Min istry of Health has issued memorandum to the local authorities urging them to take measure for the conservation Of existing supplies and also to take thought for the future Health authorities have for some time realized that the supply ot water to meet the growing demands of modern sanitary needs and of an increasing population IS problem which will demand serious at. tention.
