At 146th Street and Lenox Avenue,
where the parade wound up with a
meeting and demonstration, the
crowd had grown to 1000. Here the
workers were addressed by Mrs. Ada
Wright, mother of two of the Scots
boro victims-Roy IA and Andy IT.
Mrs. Wright, introduced by Cecil
Hope, was cheered for several min
pies. Briefly and simply, Mrs.
Wright told the story of the arrest
and frame UP of the boys few
hours after they had left their homes
in a hunt for work She told of
their families starving and the boys
begging to be allowed to go to Mem
phis and other points to seek work
in an effort to help their folk.

daunted by the storm of lead poured
into their ranks last Monday, the
miners Of wildwood and the. towns
around will continue their strike
against starvation by another mass
picket demonstration at Wildwood
Mine of the Butler Consolidated
Coal Co., in spite of the injunction,
and exactly a week after deputies
killed Peter zigaric and wounded
twelve others at the same place
The deputies anbushed the pickets
and shot them down. A miners
standing right beside Tom Myers
cough in that picketing last Monday
saw a deputy aiming a rifle directly
at Tom. The miners grabbed a rock
and knocked the rifle out of the
deputy's hands. The deputy y him
self dropped on the ground, grabbed
the rifle, and tried again to aim, not
at the man who threw the rock but
at Myerscough. There is no doubt
that the deputies had their orders
to kill this section organizer of the
National Miners Union. Despite the
fact that he is a marked man,
Myerscough will be in the demon
stration Monday afternoon. if he
can be bailed out in time.
The picket line will be made up
of men, women and children, whole
starving communities marching from
all points to show the Butler Con-
solidated and Judge Rowand and
the murder conspiracy they repre-
sent, that their court order to go
home and starve can not be endured !.
In this strike, the right to picket lis
vital. The injunction granted But
Ter Consolidated, and already en-
forced with mass slaughter OF s,min-
ers, prohibits formally the ri6ht to
picket, and by its drastic terms, pro-
hibits also the right to sqfike. the
right to struggle against unbearable
conditions, against stark famine and
misery.
The Central Rank and File Strike
Committee at its session here

declaration that miners cannot rec

court to deprive them of the inalien-
able right to strike, to assemble and

brutal shooting to death of Peter

.PAWTUCKET, r. l., June 26.-
While 1000 textile workers demon
strated outside the Eleventh District
Court House in Central Falls, Ann
Burlack, organizer of the National
Textile Workers Union, went on trial
today. Burlack was arrested last
week on frame-up charge of as
saulting scab. Since then the tex
tile workers of Central Falls and
Pawtucket have demonstrated their
indignation at the vicious attempt of
the bosses to railroad the union or
ganizer to Jail. The picketing OF the
City Hall and the police headquar-
tiers by the workers for the last few
days eliminated today in the trem-
endous outpouring at the Court
House. Attempts by squads of police
called In from nearby cities to dis
perse the masses of workers failed
completely in the face of the mill
fancy displayed.
Aided by the International Labor
Defense, Burlack conducted her en-
tire case without the use of an at
torney. She was prepared to put on
the witness stand twenty workers
who were on the picket lines and had
seen everything that happened at
the mill door at the time the scab,
Louise King, says some one threw

An analysis of the present status of

There are numerous indications

NEW SPARK PLUG HELD
AID TO CARS. RADIO
Recent Development Eliminates
Interference From Motors
Ignition System.

Something new in the Industry
radio spark plug that eliminates interior
ence from the cars igition system and
improves radio reception in automobiles,
has been perfected by engineers.
The new plug will be particularly
beneficial TO police cars radio equipped.
i is said. and an impetus TO popularity
of Car radio.
For some time the greatest problem
in the use of radio in a moving anto-
mobile has been to eliminate interfer-
enCe caused by the ignition system of
the engine. The sparkling of the plugs
within the engine when operating acts
as small transmitting sets. and each
time spark is discharged it would
cause '1uZz in the receiver. When the
motor is running at normal speed this
buzz would h~corr.G continuous and make
reception difficult. Development Of the
new radio spark plug is an efficient
remedy for this interference. engineers
say, and should contribute to wider
use Of radios in automobiles.

Looking After Doors

If the doors of your car do not open
and close properly there is a good pos
sibility that the body of the car is not
being given the attention it deserves
Loose body bolts. for instance, will allow
the body to become distorted, condi-
ton that affects the doors.
A bent frame will also affect the
doors through first distorting the body,
but in most cases the trouble originates
with neglect of the bolts that hold the
body securely TO the chassis. Many cars
use the engine and transmission legs
as part of the frame bre cing, and in
such cases it is important to apply a
wrench occasionally Even the floor
boards play part in keeping the car
body properly lined up.
If the doors operate poorly because of
the hinges it is well to ream out the
holes and use larger screws.

Check Radiator

The increasing use of hot water
heating systems for the car focuses
attention on the Importance of seeing
that the radiator shutter device is in
the most efficient working order OBJ
viously the more heat is retained in the
radiator the more effective the car
heater will be-
If the thermostat of the shutter de-
vice is sluggish in action. the radiator
core may be exposed for too long
period after the car is parked. The
ideal arrangement is to have a means
OF closing the shutters as soon as the
car is parked.
Some kinds of anti-freeze aid the
heating system because they have the
capacity of holding heat longer. This
VIII suggest the need for keeping a
closer check on the contents of the
cooling system, in order that the car
heater can operate at fullest efficiency.

Cut Out Non-Producers

According to the poultry depart

One-half of the cost of keeping a
hen. 80 pounds being required per
year for slightly better than aver
age production. During the past
II years the number of eggs per
hen to pay for her cost of feed has
ranged from 4S to ~ per year. av-
eraging 62. In 1890, it required 50
eggs per hen annually to pay her
feed costs. About ten dozen are
required per bird to pay the entire
cost.
On this basis you can easily esti-
mate what your own flock is do
ing. AS with the dairy so with
the poultry. this is the year to weed
out the nOn-producers mercilessly.
Fortunately. the ratio between
feed and eggs is relatively good.

BEST TO" CUT OUT"
TUBERCULOUS HENS
Safest Method Is to Raise
New Flock.

1t is generally conceded that the
fowl tuberculosis germ is not car
ried in the eggs, and. therefore,
eggs are perfectly safe to use. even
though the hens laying them are in
the earlier stages of the disease
The tuberculosis germ is one that
is quickly killed by heat, hence
cooking would destroy such germs
even if they were present.
We doubt if ii is advisable to
keep a flock of hens having tuber-
culOsiS to any considerable extent.
Avian or fowl tuberculosis affects
chiefly the liver and other digestive
organs. The disease is communi-
Gated by food or water cOntaminat-
ed by bowel discharges; hence
when a large number have the dis
ease. keeping the healthy looking
fowls usually means perpetuation
of the disease. for one by one those
that have the germs in them will
reach the cOnsumptive stage and
scatter more infection. If you want
to keep pullets or healthy looking
young hens you should confne them
to a yard that can easily be made
safe by changing the top soil. Let
the disinfectiOn of the range begin
at once.
There is tuberculin test by
which the disease can be weeded
out of a flock in the course of two
or three years. but unless the
flock is a valuable one the better
plan is to change completely, be-
ginning with chicks and raising
them on clean ground.-Nebraska

WHAT WENT BEFORE

Yancey Cravat, just returned

pony and beat him to the land he
wanted. Yancey, with his wife and
four -year-old son. Cimarron, start
for tAe Oklahoma country. They

nounces he has learned who killed
Pegler. He stoops in time to es-
cape a bullet fired by Lon Youn-
tis and then kills Yountis, an
