Rout Disruptors.
When stool-pigeons of the bosses
threw rotten eggs at the speakers,
much indignation was created among
the workers who chased them off
the lot. The disruptors were forced
TO seek refuge in the surrounding
woods from the anger of the work
ers and the meeting continued with
out further disturbance. Many work
ers from Dillon and the Park Yarn
mills Joined the union after the
meeting adjourned.
Meetings held over the weekend
at the Workers International Relief
colony in Bessemer City, Rex, Dali
las, Gastonia, Arlington, ETC., indi-
cate very clearly a growing spirit of
militancy and mood for struggle.
All these meetings were exceedingly
well attended, and visitors from
mills in surrounding counties came
to hear the "speakings" as they are
called here.
Textile workers, of the ten colony
especially, were greately incensed
by the false stories and editorials
decrying the misery" and "starva-
ton" at the tent colony. The fol-
lowing telegram was sent to the
Raleigh News and the Charlotte OBJ
server today:
"You carried a news story that
strikers in the tent colony are sick,
ragged and hungry, and reiterate
these charges in an editorial. The
defense counsel inspected the colony
and found that the story was pure
fabrication. Strikers are healthy,
happy and well-fed by the Workers
International Relief. The story was
deliberate propaganda to poison the
minds of the public against our fell
low-workers and the union. We
challenge the newspapers to investi-
gate and demand that the truth be
printed in the Daily Worker"
1t is agreed that the campaign
started by the Gastonia Gazette and
now continued by the Charlotte OBJ
server, the News and other Southern
papers, and which even penetrates
to the Northern press, is intended to
create such prejudice that every
prospective juror will be influenced.
Charge Guilt.
In one paragraph editorials says
that there will be fair trial, and in
the next it is taken for granted that
the defendants are guilty.
In the Sunday issue OF the News,
the following paragraph appears:
"The state has not made public the
numerous facts which, interlinked,
it purposes to make into an unbroken
chain by which thirtec- men will be
sent to the electric chair" 1t goes
on to state that the state will bring
to light facts about the labor move
ment (meaning the Communist
movement) sin order to ground its
charges of conspiracy" The whole
tone of the story is that undoubtedly
the defendants are guilty and that
the International Labor Defense and
the union are only utilizing the case
for the sake of Communist propa-
ganda. This charge has been re-
peated in numerous editorials. Nell
Battle Lewis, who has posed as
friend" of the strikers, makes this
false charge in Sundays Raleigh
News and Observer. The defendants
have written letter to her denounc-
ing this attempt to discredit the /.

BOWIE ASKS POWER
TO GET ROADWAY RIGHTS
Commissioners Urged to Grant Au-
thority to Obtain Land for
Duvall's Mill Highway.

By staff Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, october
PA request that the Prince Georges
County commissioners give the Bowie
Road District authority to secure rights
of way as the initial step in the i'm
provement of Duvall's Mill road and
part of the Lemons Bridge road has
been filed with James G. Blackwell,
county clerk.
AS there has been some dispute as to
whether the road is private one or Is
owned by the county. 81 residents who
have lived in the vicinity from 8 to so
years signed a statement declaring they
had always known the road to be con-
sidered as belonging to the county.
The petition claims that the use OF
the road is necessary, but that in its
present condition it is impossible. The
road committee seeks authority to have
the property owners convey enough land
to make 30-foot right of way, and, if
necessary, to straighten the road.
The thoroughfare will start at point
on the Jericho Park road near Green
Branch and follow the general outline
of the present road wherever practical,
crossing the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks at Arundel Station.

NEW POLICEMEN
mot TO Be NAMED
Lack of Funds Causes Prince
Georges Commissioners
to Ignore Suggestion.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, october
24.-The Prince Georges County Com
missioners will take no action on the
recommendation of the october grand
jury that two more policemen be ap-
pointed to the county force.
This was indicated today when 1t was
disclosed that the county heads have
discussed the recommendation in
formally but concluded that inaSmuch
as the levy for the current year Is
made up there is no possible means OF
securing additional funds for more
policemen.
Must Wait Year.
One member of the board of COM
missioners declared there could be no
action on the recommendation until
next wear when another levy is fiXed,
but even then there is little possibility
of the grand jury's Recommendation pc
ing carried through. The commissioners
do not believe that two more ponce
men would afford much petter pFot &c
ton for the certain sections OF the
county" which the grand jury SAID
were not adequately patrolled, the COM
missioner stated.
The attitude of the board, as ex-
planned officially by James 9. BlackWell,
clerk to the commissioners, is that the
income from the Police Court does not
Justify any more expenditures Tor po-
iicemen. The court is really more than
paying expenses, but is not clearing
enough to made additional police per-
sonnet advisable, Blackwell said.
When the report was officially pre-
sented to the commissioners Tuesday,
and read by them, it was pointed OUT
that recommendations Of additional
police for the county force have re-
peatedly been made by grand juries. .
The commissioners were notified OF
the netition for a writ of mandamus in
the Penn Realty Co. Corporations filling
station case by Sheriff Charles s. Early.
The petition, filed in Circuit Court last
week, seeks to compel the commission
ers to issue building permit Tor a
gasoline filling station at washington
and Montgomery avenues In Laurel.
The board referred it to M. Hampton
Magruder, its attorney. for such legal
action as he may deem appropriate.
On the request of the BerWyn district
road committee, headed by @. P. BlcK-
ford. chairman, and William Eithson,
road supervisor, the commissioners ap-
propriated 1925 from the dog license
fund for the improvement OF county
roads in Berwyn and Branchville.
A recommendation of the Bowie dis
trict road committee that the widening
of the county road adjacent TO the
Rigoli property be deferred until next
Spring, was accepted. The sum OF $loO
was appropriated for additional I'M
movements on the road Leading 70

GLEBEWOODB BUSES
URGED BY CITIZENS
Representatives of COMMUNE
ties Meet to Work Out Appli-
cation State Board Approves.

'Ey STAFF Correspondent Of The Star
ss ASHTON HEIGHTS, Va, october "a.
Having been advised by the State
Corporation Commission that that body
is inclined to look favorably upon a
move to have the citizens of Glebe-
wood and Ashton Heights served by a
bus line, representatives from the ex-
acutive committee of the citizens asSo-
citation of those two communities and
of Lyon Park, met here last night to
work out the details of an application
that will Immediately be filed with Leon
ARNOLD, owner of the Washington, Vir-
glnia & Maryland Coach Co.
: From three routes suggested the
gathering decided to recommend one
that would take the buses out Column
bia Pike to Glebe road, north on Glebe
road to Pershing drive. east on PERISH
tng drive to Clarendon avenue and
north on Clarendon avenue to Wilson
boulevard. where a connection would
be made with the existing line of the
company.
"a Suggestion Opposed.
- The suggestion that the line con-
tinue east on PerShing drive through
Lyon Park and connect with the line
running through Fort Myer was OPP
posed by the Lyon Park contingent on
the ground that it would interfere with
the street car line by which that COM
1nIlnity is now served. The car service
has been adequate, they contended, and
should not be made to face compete
ton.
AThe advantages of the former recon-
mendation were described by H. C.
Armstrong, who made the motion for
its adoption, as follows:
Citizens of the communities not now
served by any public transportation
would be taken directly to Clarendon,
with its banking and shopping facili-
ties. and also to the courthouse and
Rosslyn. With the line running through
Fort Myer, it was pointed out, persons
wishing to reach Clarendon and the
courthouse would be forced to go to
Rosslyn and then back again on the
Wilson Boulevard line.
- Urged Recommendation.
- Those attending last nights confer
ence were told that Arnold had been
approached regarding the line and had
suggested that some definite recon-
Inendations regarding its route be sub
fnitted to him before he was asked to
make a decision. In preparation for
this, the Glebewood Citizens AsSocia-
ton correspondent with the State Cor
turation Commission and were told
that the line would be favored.
s@Glebewood, it was pointed out last
night, now has no bus or street car
line closer than three-quarters of a
mile
