COLD IN SOUTH DRAWS
 MINERS As COST DROPS

There is more monetary gold III the United States now than at any time in it's history, according to the Denver Mining Record.
 The amount, $4,684,00 900, re- vealed in the weekly Federal Re- serve statement, is 425 per cent of all the monetary gold in the world, and is $1,OO0,000 greater than the previous high mark or $4 ,684 100000 established May l4, 1927.
 The figure is more than twice that of France which has main tained an astonishing rate of gold imports for more than a year, and is seven times that of Eng land, the weekly statements of the Bank of France and the Bank of England reveal.
 The total is the greatest ever achieved by any country i'll IT. nancial history, and is about two and one-half times the amount in this country at the outbreak of the World war. It is consider ably more than dollar for dollar backing for all currency in circu- lation in this country, the report claims.

MACHINERY DOES
WORK; COAL MIN
ERS ARE IDLE

Washington. Machinery IA S
brought idleness to Montana miners,
according to letter to Senators
Welsh and Wheeler, of that state.
The Montana workers urge govern
ment relief.
Mechanical devices in coal mines
have reduced the number of men for
merly employed about AZ per cent, or,
in other words, out of 100 men for
merly employed, only 50 are left to
do the work and the machines are
displacing 48 men out Of 100 who
were formerly employed. AS to out
put of coal, basing cur figures on the
tonnage output, the 81 men under this
machine system will and are produc-
ing more than the 100 men working
under the human-labor system"

ESPIONAGE APPEAL
CAMPAIGN Is ON

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-A cam
paign for repeal of the wartime es-
pionage act, provided in a bill which
passed the senate unanimously last
June and now before the judiciary
committee of the house, is under way.
The espionage act, passed in 1917
as wartime measure, was "sus-
pended" in 1921 until the "next emer-
gency." However, one section was
left in force giving the post office de-
partment power to exclude from the
mails any matter which it regards as
"seditious." Under that section the
post office department has banned
four radical papers in recent months.
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, of Mon
tana, author of the espionage act, was
responsible for the introduction and
passage of the repeal bill in the SEN
ate. In favorably reporting the bill,
the senate judiciary committee said:
st is to be borne in mind that the
statute has no application except in
the existence of war 1t would seem
as though congress might safely be
relied upon in the deplorable event of
the occurrence of another war calling
for legislation of an extraordinary
character, to meet the emergency as
it may arise.
"The committee is further of the
view that it is unwise to invest the
post office authorities with the power
to determine whether an article or
articles in a newspaper does or does
not offend against the statute, ques-
tion often so delicate as that learned
judges of the supreme court have
different in the conclusion at which
they have respectively arrived when
called upon to solve it. The statute
has been so administered as to make
it to all intents and purposes a cen
sorship law"

ARMY is DISTRIBUTING
SALVAGED CLOTHING

Washington.-Ch Charitable organiza-
tions, to secure salvaged clothing
from army depots for relief pur-
poses, should apply through the gov
ernors of the states concerned, ac-
cording to General Van Holm Moseley
of the war department.
Army depots are being secured for
property of this general character
that may have been accumulated in
addition to that which is turned in in
the routine manner, in order to sup
plement the measures already being
taken to relieve Distress" said Gen
eral Moseley.

LESS HOURS FOR
POSTAL employees

Washington.-The senate, by vote
of 88 to o. passed the LaFollette
44hour bill for postal employees The
bill had previously passed the house,
where it was sponsored by Congress-
man Kendall.
This legislation will affect 10000
thousand postal employees in first and
second class offices, and the railway
mail service 1t has been urged by
the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks, National Association of
Letter Carriers, and the Railway
Mail Association, all A. F. of L. units.
Postal employees for the most part
are on a 48-hour weekly working
schedule, and this legislation reduces
the workday to Al hours. Certain
employees now receive time off on Sat
urday afternoon under a permissive
order of the postmaster general. The
Kendall LaF GILLETTE bill will give all
employees the same benefit.
The productivity of postal employees
has greatly increased in recent years.
1t costs today $4,000 less to produce
million dollars in revenue than it
did in 1921. Labor costs, organized
postal workers show, are lower today
than ever before in the history of the
service.
The bill will give additional en-
ployment to approximately 10000
substitutes throughout the service.

The Congregational Church, through
it's pastor, the Reverend Robert
Stemme, is announcing that it has
secured the services of Prof. Stanley
B. Shoupe, of "The Shoupe Music
School, as it's organist and choir
director.
Prof. Shoupe is a born musician
who, by ability, training and expe-
rience has won his way to distinc-
ton. He is very highly recommended
by musical critics. Prof. c.. A. Fish
wick, of London, England, with whom
Mr.. Shoupe studied pipe organ at the
Detroit Institute of Musical Arts, in
commenting on his ability, says: "He
has the musicianship of a genius; his
sense of vibration and tone is per-
feet; his impulses and accuracy are
unsurpassable
Prof. Shoupe is the founder and
present director of the Shoupe Music
School, and for the past twenty three
years has been one of the outstanding
music teachers in this city. During
that time he has taught thousands
to play their favorite instrument. He
organized and directed one of the first
Sunday School orchestras in Hamilton
and directs his own orchestra and mil
Il
perience will mean much to the Con-
gregational Sunday School, as Prof.
Shoupe will not limit his activities
to the choir and church services alone
but will supervise the entire musical
program of the church.
Prof. Shoupe will be ably assisted
in his work by Mrs. Shoupe, who re-
ceived her musical training in Gin
cinnati. Mrs. Shoupe possesses a
mezzo-soprano voice of rare excel
lence and her enunciation is perfect
For four years, before coming to
Hamilton, she was a soloist in the
Westwood Presbyterian Church in
Cincinnati. Mrs. Shoupe will serve as
soloist and assistant choir director.
The Congregational Church consid-
ers itself exceedingly fortunate in Sc
curing the services of these richly
endowed musical leaders, and under
their capable direction it is destined
to make a distinctive contribution to
the best in the musical life Of Hamil-
ton.

NECKWEAR PLANT
STRIKE FOLLOWS
WAGE REDUCTION
Organizers Arrested as P0-
lice Bear Down on Picket
Line Before Runaway"
Shop in New Haven.

New Haven, Conn. tILNS)-
Another series of wage cuts has led
to a walkout of 800 neckwear workers
at the runaway" plant of Arthur
Seigman, Inc. The workers, hitherto
unorganized, joined the Neckwear
Makers Union in body.
Continued success of the union in
holding solid front among the work
ers has led the police, at the behest
of the Chamber of Commerc, to bear
down on the picket lines. Organizers
Rose Sullivan and Carmen Lucia were
taken off the lines and put under ar
rest for alleged "breach of the peace"
A similar charge was also placed
against Julia O'Connor Parker of the
Electrical Workers Union of Boston,
although she had merely obtained
police permission to accompany Miss
Sullivan to the station.
The walkout is encouraging to the
Neckwear Makers Union, as Seig-
mans had been thorn in the side of
the organizatino. Formerly in New
York, this concern moved to New
Haven in order to obtain cheap labor.
The average wage of the striking
workers is SO week, five times at
least below the wage prevailing in
New York. Manager Jack Roberts, of
the Neckwear Makers Union, is in
charge of the strike.

Philadelphia, before which Gen. But
Ter had made the statements under
criticism, had several months pre-
viously adopted resolution to the
effect that all speakers should have
perfect freedom of speaking, and that
no publicity should be given to any
remarks. Gen Butler conveyed this
information to the secretary of the
navy, and it was the convenient hook
OH which was hung the reprimand
which saved the face of the admin
istration. incidentally, there were re-
porters present at the meeting ad-
dressed by Gen. Butler.
Meanwhile there have been pub
lished in the New York press and in
the Italian II Nuovo Monde of that
city, copies of letter alleged to have
been sent to the Italian paper, giving
a circumstantial account of the events
of the incident to which Gen. Butler
referred, with the names of eye-wit-
nesses, together with the statement
that three Italians who were present
and identified Mussolini had since dis
appeared and nothing had been heard
of their whereabouts. The articles in
these papers were spread on the rec
ords of the United States senate at
the request of Senator Helm, of Ala
bama.

The European situation, said Mr..

WHAT NEXT?

An electrical detector of the in
visible cracks in rails which have been
source of accidents ever since the
beginning of railroading is now being
successfully used. 1t was the last
major scientific achievement of the
late Elmer A. Sperry, famous inven-
tor. The device causes an electrical
current to disclose the transverse fs-
sures which grow like living things,
their presence often unrevealed, until
the rails fall apart. The first detector
was placed in service two years ago
The assures are now being located
before they cause any damage.

What Butler Charged

Gen. Butler had charged on the
basis of information said to have been
given to him by an eyewitness, that
Mussolini was shit and run" auto
mobile driver; that he drove an army
car at high rate of speed through
an Italian village, running over ten
year-old girl; that he did not stop to
pay any attention to the matter, but
remarked to one who was with him,
"It is only one life. What is one life
in the affairs of state ?"
1t is stated in the times account
that the compromise settlement of
the case was sought by the admins
tration at the insistence of the presi-
dent.
