which shocked and surprised him.
Indignation was expressed frequently
by the prince to officials.
One of the worst places visited was
the village of Benton, where collection
of tumble down cottages was in sea
of mud. Rolling his trousers high above
his shoe tops the prince plunged
through the quagmire. Being told that
families of to 10 persons were living
in these novels, he exclaimed:

But they are rent Free" he was told
That's the best that can be said
about them." the prince answered with
a contemptuous ejaculation.
In the dark room of one cottage the
prince said to an occupant. mot much

At Hartford, Mrs. Foster. miners

her family of seven, ranging in age
from ID years to Is months.
"They know what 1t means to go

manner of living. and as If such con-
dition were a matter to be taken for

last week they considered themselves
rich with 80 shillings.
Some cottagers at Bedlington had
written the prince relating their condi-
ton. He responded by calling at their
poor homes in long, dismal stretch
of buildings, each of which was exactly
like the others.
In one of the dwellings the prince
brought Joy to q paralyzed girl. who
was scarcely able to talk when he stood
by her side speaking words of SYM

royal visitors that she had an offer to

McGinnis and Mclaughlin was $1,000
and for Hendricks $4,000.
Defense Motions Denied.
Defense motions to set aside the
verdict on the grounds that the
weight of evidence was against it
were featured by the assertion of
Attorney J. D. Mccall that a fair
trial in North Carolina was impos-
sible because of ''inflammatory edi-
torials in the local papers"
Judge Barnhill took cognizance Of
that argument by the flagrantly
false statement that the only way
the papers had referred to the case
was in favor of the defendants in
discussing some of his rulings dur
ing the trial.
Judge Barnhill said in his charge
to the jury:
Gwen if the officers were tres
passers, it was the duty of the oc-
cupants of the premises first OF or
der them to leave, and if they did
not leave peaceably, then to use only
such force as was reasonably and
necessary to eject them. The use
of excessive force would constitute
an assault upon the officers"
These requests to leave, ETC., were
evidently considered by Judge Barn
hill to be properly in order while the
police were firing point blank at
the strikers with their pistols.
The workers fthe South are al
ready talking bitterly of the neces-
sity demonstrated by the railroad

we're as the death penalty. Their
record shows why they were par
ticularly hated.
Fred Beal.
Fred Beal was born in Lawrence,
Mass, in 1896, and at the age of ID
went to work in a textile mill in
Lawrence, as a bobbin boy at wage
of $4.46 for a Sc hour week. He was
an active striker in the great Law
renee textile strike of 1912. He was
drafted into the army and during
the Lawrence strike in 1919 joined
the picket line in uniform. He was
a leader in the Lawrence strike of
922, Joined the Socialist Party dur
ing the strike, and after it was over
became member of the executive
board of the One Big Union and Sec
retary of the Socialist Party local.
In 1928 Beal took a leading part in
the Dover, New Hampshire, strike.
When he was arrested 5000 work
ers picketed the Jail and the militia
dispersed the workers with threaten
ing machine guns.
At this time he became interested
in the Sacco-Venzettii case. He soon
lost faith in the Social Party and
Joined the Communist arty. After
becoming secretary Of the One Big
Union he organized the Lawrence
United Front Committee in 1925.
In 1925 Beal played leading role
in the New Bedford strike. Beal
was arrested seven times during the
