has been reduced in the past decade from FL % to 5
Among the foreign white population of Arizona it has
been reduced from 275fo to $3.50. Illiteracy among
the coored people of the state has dropped from 46
to 40 in the last decade. Among Mexicans and In
dans it has been reduced from 6479o to 1850. So it
will be seen that while Arizona has altogether too
many literates the condition is being steadily i'm
proved due to our free school ysem and compulsory
education laws Perhaps the time is not far distant
when Arizonans need not hang their heads in shame
when comparative figures Of iliteracy are quoted.
At the same time that the meeting of the dlstln-
guished educators was being held in Phoenix to de
termine ways and of further reducing Hitter
acy in Arizona another movement was under way. 1t
was rapidly acquiring momentum. This movement
had for its objective the temporary suspension Of the
compulsory school attendance laws to permit hordes
Of little children to leave school to enter the cotton
fields 1t was sought to bring pressure the public
officials charged with enforcement of the school at
tendance statutes to get them to agree to suspend the
laws Official sanction would be obtained, it was
hoped for phn which would have put desire to use
child labor on large scale on higher plane than the
need for an education
To the credit of Governor Hunt and the State
Board of Education, it be said that they sterny
frowned upon the proposition of keeping the child
out of school to pick cotton.
It was coincidence that these two movements OF
diametrcaly opposing purposes should have been in
the lmelight at the time; aimed at keeping
the children nschoo in order to reduce llliteracy
and the other proposing to take the children out of
school to pick cotton

inexpensive Pleasures

Nowhere can one get as much
for ones money as one can on the
steamboats,. For between 81 and
81 one can sail in comfort all day
past the most beautiful scenery,
enriched by historical associations,
in perfect comfort and safety. One
of the few objections is that the
passageways on ali boats are
crowded and it takes a long time
to get off at the pier.
This has been arranged purpose
ly Narrow entrances have been
found to break up incipient panics
better than anything else. In a
theater the reverse is the case, but
on boat the plan is to break the
crowd up into small units which
can be handled by the crew.

the Acid

%ICK stomachs, sour stomachs and
y indigestion usually mean excess
acid The stomach nerves are over
stimulated. Too much acid makes the
stomach and intestines sour.
Alkali kills acid instantly. The best
form is Phillips Milk of Magnesia; one
harmless, tastelesS dose neutralizes
many times its volume in acid. For so
years the standard with physicians
everywhere.
Take a spoonful in water and your
unhappy condition will probably end
in five minutes, Then you will always
know what to do. Crude and harmful
methods will never appeal to you. Go
prove this for your own sake. 1t may
save great many disagreeable hours.
Get the genuine Phillips Milk of
Magnesia, the kind physicians have
prescribed for so years.

REMIND WORKERS
OF HOTEL LOCKOUT

Washington.-Org labor is
again reminded of lockout of Cleve-
land hotel workers in letter to all
affiliates by VIM Green, president,
A. F. of L.
President Green suggests that
where workers are associated with
any group which contemplates hold
ing a convention in Cleveland "that
you try to prevail upon such group to
change to another city or at least not
to patronize the hotels in question"
The lockout was enforced last June
when the workers refused to sign a
yellow dog" The cooks, walters and
mattresses were joined by engineers,
firemen and musicians. The A. F of
L. convention at Boston, last October,
condemned the managers policy. The
Green letter, issued under instructions
of the A. F. of L. executive council,
calls the attention of trade unionists
to hotel conditions in Cleveland The
victimizing hotels are: Hollenden,
Cleveland, Statler, Winton, Olmstead
and Allerton.

WOULD CURB USE
OF "COSSACKS"

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS)-"I'm go
ing to send state troops to any strike
situation where they are requested
by local officials" declared Major
Lynn Adams, commander of the
Pennsylvania state police, popularity
known as the "cossacks," when inter-
viewed by Secretary James E. Kelley,
of the State Federation of Labor, re-
garding the dispatch of police from
Reading to Bethayres.
This attitude on the part of Gov.
Pinchot's police commander stimu-
lated some very fruitful conferences
at Federation of Labor headquarters.
Allan G. Harper, of the Pennsylvania
Civil Liberties Union, was there at the
time comforting on the anti-injunction,
the yellow dog contract bill which he
is steering into the legislature, on
behalf of the State Federation and his
own group. A bill was hastily drafted
which will forbid the state police
from being used in any strike situa-
tion except at the express order Of
the governor, and only after some dis
turbance or breach of the peace has
taken place.
In my opinion, we stand good
chance of passing this measure and il
will be al law we have badly needed
for many years." Kelley says.

POLICE BILL

Jefferson City, Mo- (ILNS)-Mis-

state police force introduced in the
state legislature and is appealing to
local trade unions and individual
members to make vigorous protest
against the measure. A similar bill
was defeated last year, and labor is
confident the bill now pending can be
beaten
In letter to affiliated unions and
councils the legislative committee of
the Missouri State Federation of La
Dor, of which R. T. Woods is chair
man, says:
"a state police bill has been intro

By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS)-The bill just
passed by congress granting further
loans to World War veterans is a
tremendous setback to the "open
shop" and financial interests which
have been plotting and planning to
smash American wage standards. The
loans, if expedited promptly, will
greatly aid the unemployed to with
stand the "open shop" offensive which
many here believe is in the offing.
That no doubt accounts for the walls
of anguish which are going up from
gentlemen who like to be known as
captains of industry and wizards of
finance.
1t is conservatively estimated that
$6O,000,O0O will be distributed in the
Chicago area, which includes all of
Illinois and the great Calumet manu-
featuring district of Northern In
diana. 1t is probable, however, that
the amount will be much larger than
that. There are at least 100000 war
veterans in this area. Of these $4,000
to 100000 carry union cards. About
$4,000 veterans in this area already
have availed themselves of the former
very limited loan provisions of their
adjusted compensation certificates.
Under the new act of congress the
veterans can make further loans aver
aging about $275 each.
Big Buying Rush Expected
The grocer, the baker and the cam
dlestick maker may expect an imme-
diate rush of business as soon as the
boys collect, and there will be big
falling off in the apple peddling on
the streets.
The only fly in the ointment is the
announcement of the Veterans Bu-
reau that only the neediest will be
paid first. That sounds like a joke
and indicates that the bureau heads
will tie up and retard payments with
lot of silly paper work and red tape.
No veteran is going to be sucker
enough to step up and go into hook
unless he needs the money. In the
last analysis the loan provisions as
passed by congress is a Shylock set
up and the, veterans are we'll aware
of that. Those seeking the loans now
will simply be acting under necessity
and prayerful that the next congress
will wipe out the compound interest
rate and provide for the payment OF
the debt in full. That is only hope
| however, and those who do not need
the loans will be reluctant to go into
hook That is common sense.
Sob Stories Ready
If the brass hats of the Veterans
| Bureau hold to their announced pur-
pose of demanding sob stories before
making loans, they certainly will get
lot of real and fanciful ones in the
| Chicago area. A group of vets said
in my presence the other day that
they were going to take 'the old WON
an and the kids and a few neigh
b,rs' kids" along with them wher
they make their applications for loans
Tha was their humorous way OF
putting it, but these men really need
the money.

Philadelphia (ILNS)-A militant
union waging militant strike. That's
the story of Philadelphia hosiery
strike.
When $500 operators walked out
from 80 union shop mills in the Ken
sington district of the city at the call
of the full fashioned workers union,
the courage of their action was re-
echoed repeatedly in the stirring de-
velopments that followed.
The strikers Immediately found
that in addition to fighting wage cuts
and long hours, they had to fight the
police force of Philadelphia.
One mill the Quaker, owned by the
notorious union-hating Bromley inter-
ests, sought to evade the strike test
! by not opening. Two days later it
called one-third of it's force, about 800
workers, back to the machines only to
have them walk out in body the
same day.

Police Try Mussolini Tactics
The Apex management visited
Major Schofeld, director of public
safety, swore up and down there was

that picketing be halted because of
the danger to public peace"
The police chief fell for their line
and displaying the egotism of Mus
solini Immediately notified the union
that all picketing in the northeast
was forbidden.
Not content with that, Schofield
told the union officials they were crazy
to call a strike when so many people
were out of work. Warned by law
yers for the union and the Civil Lib
critics Union that he had no right to
break the strike, Schofield declared

In the three days that followed, 392

GIRL SHOT DEAD,
OTHERS HURT,
in MILL STRIKE
Crowd of Stroudsburg
Workers Forces Arrest of
NOn-Strikers Accused of
Firing Fatal Fusillade.

Stroudsburg, Pa. (ILNS) - The
wanton killing of girl striker at the
Mamouth hosiery mills and the
wounding of three Of her eight COM
panions in an automobile have stirred
Stroudsburg and aroused intense in
dignation among citizens here. The
girl was killed and her companions
were wounded by volley of shots
alleged to have been fired by en-
ployes of the Mamouth mill who did
not strike when the walkout was de-
clared three weeks ago.
The shooting occurred when the
automobile, returning from a dance,
stopped near a house occupied by
Clark Miller and Robert Arnold, who
refused to join the strike. The car
was stopped when something went
wrong with the lights and two of the
occupants got out to adjust them.
Miller and Arnold fired shot in the
air and the machine sped down the
street. A volley of shots followed and
the car stopped.
Shots Are Fatal
When Miller and Arnold, joined by
Raymond Bago, anot Ter hosiery
worker, reached the machines, they
found Alberta Bachman, 20, badly
wounded. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ell
sic Bachman, 25, was shot in the foot
and two men with them, Walter Van
Auken and Russell HASTE, were also
wounded Miss Bachman died in a
hospital two hours later with three
bullets in her body.
Miller, Arnold and Bago were ques-
toned by the police, but were per-
mitted to go to work as usual when
the mill gates opened the next morn
ing. A crowd of strikers gathered
outside and warned Deputy Sheriff
Brewer to arrest them or the strikers
would go inside and make the arrests
themselves. Brewer then took the
three men to Jail.
Men Found Armed
The police reported that Miller, at
the time of the shooting, had high.
powered rifle, Arnold revolver anc
Bago a shot gun. The two wounded
men were peppered with buckshot.
