Still AIM Guns
At RAYON STRIKE
No Appeal from Ruling
of Personnel Boss

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, May 26.
The U. S. Department of Labor
and the strikebreaking United Tex
tile Workers Union in cooperation
have finally succeeded in selling out
the Elizabethton strike. The heroic
struggle of 5000 rayon workers,
which has defied deputized militia,
mill owners thugs, dynamite at
tacks and incendiary fires that cut
off drinking water, bayonet charges,
tear gas attacks, mass arrests and
mass trials, has been stabbed in the
back by reasonable agreement, en-
gineered by the officials of the U.
T. W. and an agent of the depart
ment of labor, one Anna Weinstock.
U. S. Spy Arranged Terms.
At hastily worked-up meeting of
1,500 of the strikers yesterday, it
was revealed that the federal spy,
Weinstock, operating secretly as far
as the strikers were concerned, with
the knowledge and help of the u.
T. W. and the bosses, had arranged
surrender for the workers on
strike, and under the hammering of
the U. T. w. officials and the open
sabotage by A. F. of L. president
Green, who accused the strikers of
committing violence, the meeting
voted by small majority to return
to work and submit to the wishes of
the American Bemberg and Ameri
can Glanzstoff companies.
The terms of the agreement, born
in treachery and secrecy, have rarely
been egualed in the details of sub
servience which the workers are to
accept.
The companies promise absolutely
nothing. The union takes refuge in
the statement that the employers
garnt mo discrimination" the only
open demand of the strikers.
Neither half of the U. T. W. state
ment is true. The strikers are still
demanding the conditions promised
when they went back to work after
their strike three months ago. 1t

MUSTE GROUP AS
A. F. OF |. AIDS TO
FIGHT new UNIONS
Lore and Salutsky Also
Link Up with Front
Against Left Wing
Communists Attacked
Socialist Traitors. Seize
Most Jobs

When the two-day Conference for
so-called Progressive Labor Action
adjourned yesterday evening at the
Labor Temple, 18th st. and Second
Ave-, the original so-called "pro-
gressives" of the Labor Age group
had practically hquidated their
meager forces and turned over all
their assets and liabilities to the
socialist party, upholder of the poll
cies Of the American Federation Of
Labor.
AS the conference came to a close,
the names on the newly formed exc
cutive committee, indicated clearly
the yellow socialist complexion of
the new movement"
Real Militancy Attacked.
This has clarified the ultimate
purpose of this group-to act as a
weapon "~ainst the left wing work
ers in their attempt to destroy the
power of the reactionary misleaders
in the American labor movement.
The conference which opened Sat-
urday morning, which capitalist re-
porters were admitted, the Daily
Worker representative was barred.
The conference occupied itself with
wistful chidings of the A. F. of L..
and bitter denunciations of the ac-
tivities of The Trade Union Educa-
tional League and of the Communist
Party of the U. S. A.
Socialists Rule Executive.
The new executive committee is
composed # the following:
Norman Thomas, associate editor
Of the New Leader and socialist
party candidate for president in the
last election; James H. Maurer, So
cialist candidate for president;
James Oneal, editor OF the New
Leader; Frank Manning, organizer
of the socialist party in New Eng
land; Danci2, of the Young Peoples
Socialist League; Frank C-ross-
waithe, organizer for the United
Colored Socialists of America; Leon
ard Bright, active socialist and busi-
ness manager of Labor Age; Lcu;s
F. C;denz, editor of Labor Age.
j. B. S. Hardman (Salutsky),
editor of "The Advance" of
ficial organ of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of
America; Justus Ebert former an
archo-syndicalist I. w. w., who help
ed split the organization in 1924,
by joining a new moT-.1ent which
was led ly government stool-pigeons,
and now editor of the Telegraph
ers' Journal; A. = Muste, dean of
Brookwood Labor College.

Fashioned Hosiery Workers, Abra-
ham Lefkowitz ar Henry R. Lin

College; A. ]. Kennedy, A. Vance,

L. Morris, Leonard C-aig, former
eG.1c-.tt;onal directc- of the Pennsyl-
vania State Federation of Labor,
and J.. Schwartz.
Professionals Vote Selves Labor.
The most significant aspect of
the membership basis" adopted
substantiates the view that the So
cialists had taken over the confer
ence is seen in the fact that de-
cision was made "that the socialist
party is labor organization"

THAT COLORADO SHERIFF

We're ready to lead the cheering for Sheriff L. E.
Alderman of Prowers county, Colorado.
Sheriff Alderman you probably have read is that
slxfoot, roughhewed, two-gun guardian of the law
that remote Colorado county whose keeness in tracking
down gang of bank robbers puts ficton-story detec
tives to shame rural Colorado farmer until his elec-
ton by his nelghbors two years ago, he stepped into
the case with all the sagacy and of trained
sleuth, solved the battling mystery rounded up seven
alleged members of the gang in various parts of the
United States and has furnished police departments
everywhere with photos and fngerprns of the alleged
ringeader, who escaped him by only 10 minutes in
PEORIA Ill.
Which, we think darn good job.
The most amazing part about the whole case is how
this exfarmer, unframed in the ways of big cities and
in the ways of criminals succeeded where other officers
with more opportunity to know the devious ways of
the underworld had failed. 1t looks like man who
probably would be referred to in criminal parance as
"a hck cop and sneered by the professional detec-
tives has outsmarted of the daring gangs of
desperadoes the southwest has known since the days
of Jesse James and brought them to bay
1t would be good thing if we had more of these

LEGION SHOULD ACT

1t is extremely gratifying read in this mornings
San Diego paper of raid made by the police of that
city, in which several thousand bottles of liquor and
five alleged owners were arrested
The reason for qualification is because the
American Legion convention is in session in the
coast city Last week there ugly stories being
circulated here in the valley that the Legion "had
things fixed up for good liquor supply while in San
Diego
Local Legion men vigorously denied this knowing
that the Legion would not tolerate any such defiance
OF the laws OF the country it has to uphold and
which Its membership ready to defend with their
lives Individuals in the Legion the as in other
organizations, have their ideas the subject of
prohibition but no group of Legion be they wet
test of the wet is going the Legion violate the
law.
The taken in the present raid asserted that they
had paid for protection Mayor Harry Clark, Legion
naire denied that any request had been made for pro-
lection and stated further that any such request
would be treated in the only way deserves-arrest
of those seeking to influence officials from doing their
duty.
1t is to be hoped that the state department of the
Legion will appoint investigating committee to ascer-
tain any of its officials connected with the at
tempt to fout the law and if deal summarilv with
them.
The American Legion, because of the very nature of
its BIRTH is organization that can not afford to
have within its ranks who will deliberately set out
to debauch the laws of the land.
The Legion, more than any other organization
can not be held responsible for the of its ndvid
ual members, but if any member group of members
sought TO use the Legion name in connection with
liquor protection, they should be made to walk the
plank.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PINCH
ING BUG

Uncle Wiggily was, hopping along
a woodland path one morning, think
ing of cakes of ice, cream cones,
ieicles and all such things as that
for it was very hot day. when,
all OF u sudden, in field nearby,
he heard the voices of children.
''Ah. hat" thought the rabbit
gentleman to himself, 81 must be
careful. Children are very nice and
love them. They love me, too, I
am sure, but they may want to cud-
die me in their arms and it is too
hot to be cuddled today"
Uncle Wiggily had ON his fur
ccat and was quite warm enough. OF
course his summer fur coat was not
as heavy as the one he wore in win
ter, Just as YOU may have seen ladies
wearing thin furs about their neekS
in summer and heavier furs when
there is snow and ice.
So Uncle Wiggily hoped very
slowly and carefully toward the

cry:
Look out. Look out! Don't let

bug, wiggling his legs in the air il
a very silly way but the bug
couldn t help it.
AS Uncle Wiggily turned the bug
over right side up the rabbit saw
where there were two sharp horns
on the creatures head, and the in

PUNCTURE VINE
WEED is COSTLY
TO CALIFORNIA

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10-U.H-
Caltrop, commonly known as pune
ture vine, the noXious weed which
has necessitated an annual appro-
priation in excess of 100000 to
control, first appeared in Califor-
mia in 1903, according to state
ments prepared by the Los Angeles
County Farm Bureau.
The seed was believed to have
come from Mediterranean regions
in ships ballasts. 1t flourished in
the warm climate of this vicinity
and, by 1912 presented a menace
to agriculture throughout the south.
land, the San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento Valleys.
It's spread was facilitated by
railroad shipments of various pro-
duets. Infestations of the weed
which started in the head-waters
above agricultural districts were
spread by floods to the rich bottoms
i'll short order.
Such an instance resulted from the
st. Francis dam disaster of year
ago. Puncture vine was known to
have infested the area in the vic
unity of the dam and the flood
waters carried its seed to the lower
country, where it now is threat
of considerable magnitude to al
falfa and truck products along the
Santa Clara river.
Concerted efforts are being made
throughout the state to extcrminate
the weed. Oil is used, men are hired
to cut and burn it and the railroads
have continually fired their right
OF ways in an attempt to keep it
within bounds. At present the Cal
trop shows no excessive spread but
still lnfests the greater part of
California s rich agricultural land.

BURNED BEARINGS
HARDLY KNOWN in
PLYMOUTH AUTOS

Automobile owners who have
burned out engine bearings because
of lov oil supply can appreciate the
fuel and fabrication systems in the
Plymouth enginc-an engine in
which it it practically impossible for
this accident to occur according
to II. E. Heath, service manager of
the Plymouth Motor Corporation at
Detroit.
"The principle on which the Ply
mouth engine operates, said Mr..
Heath, ''is the control of the
vacuum i'll the vacuum tank b.
means of the pump which circtlates
the lubricating oil to all moving
parts of the engine. The fuel feed
ing system and the fabrication sys-
TEN thus work together and each
acts as check upon the other.
"This system of feeding fuel to
the engine,' he continued, "is
quite simple, yet it has many ad
vantages. a suction line running
from the oil pump to the vacuum
tank create vacuum in this tank
supplying gasoline to the earbure-
tor. In actual operation, if the
supply of oil becomes low so that
1t no longer circ'ilates to the bear
ings and other wearing parts of the
engine, the suction line does not
produce a vacuum in the tank and
the engine stops running for want
of gasoline.
"Another advantage of the sys.
TEN is the fact that the vacuum
in the tank is at all times in har-
mony with the speed of the engine.
