URGE PAINTERS
TO TAKE FIGHT
IN OWN HANDS
Vote Against Giving
Ackerly Power to
Sell Them Out

NEW YORK.-The Rank and File
committee of the Painters Brother
hood warned all Brotherhood mem
bers today against giving full power
to E. Ackerly, general vice-president,
who is in New York to put the fin
ishing touches to the sell-out which
the officials of the union are trying
to put over on the rank and file.
This is the seventh week we have
been on strike" said the statement
of the rank and file group. "Over
$4,000 have been spent. For what?
INSTEAD of carrying on the strike
against the master painters for $1120
a day and for better conditions, the
politicians of the various locals split
the organization on the race question
Jewish against gentle. Not single
mass meeting was held during the
strike. When q strike committee
member demanded that a mass meet
ing be held to inform the member
ship of the situation, a union leader
said, What do you want from that

1.-THE politicians saw that they
could not settle the fight among
themselves SO they appealed to the
General Executive Board for help.
The G. E. B. sent E. Ackerly, newly
elected president of the Brother
hood who was business agent for Is
years in Tarrytown, to New York to
do the dirty work.
MIR. Ackerly arrived in New York
Thursday. Introducing himself to the
council, he demanded nothing but
full power He knew that the mem
bership has no confidence in tr<
council and therefore was afraid to
take power from the council. He
said let the membership decide
Vote Against Proposal
Special membership meetings have
been arranged to decide about giving
Ackerly full power. The Brother
hood membership must know what
to do. Only the membership must
have full power and nobody else.
Vote against the proposition of giving
Ackerly full power to sell us out.
New York Painters have already
had experience with general vice
presidents. Remember Kelly who
wanted to settle the strike at SO to
$40. The membership refused and
he had to get out of New York.
LET the representatives of the rank
and file carry out the negotiations
with the employers let the rank and
file settle the strike in the interest
of the membership and not in the
interest of a few politicians.

Mass Meetings Smash
Farm Bureau Trick

DIES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 28.-Pick-

half the farmers in Polk county

Picket lines are frightened around
Council Bluffs, and farmers have not
only turned back milk trucks but
have confiscated the supply of one
of them.

launching propaganda against the

the Fish Committee report to try and
convince his hearers that Moscow
gold finances the farm strike.
Farmers have revealed that the
milk companies have been cheating
them by declaring about half the
milk sent them by strmers to be

And all that time the Reindeer King
from Nome was thinking OF Andy bahr.
Andy was one OF the original group OF
Laplanders who brought the FIRST herd
of reindeer to Alaska back in 1898. He
was living in retirement. veteran who
had done more than his share in estab-
fishing the reindeer industry in West
ern Alaska. Carl Lomen wanted Andy
Bahr's expert advice. If anybody knew
the reindeer from the tips Of ITS antlers
to the end of its tail, why. Andy was
the man. But when Carl Lomen went
to the grizzled little old Laplander and
explained the project of driving herd
of reindeer across a thousand miles OF
as forbidding and desolate a waste as
you'll find in the world, Andy did not
proffer any advice at all. He said
merely: Boss, why don't you give me
job?"
What do you mean. Andy?" ex-
claimed the Reindeer King. You don't
mean to say that at your age you'd at
tempt to take the herd on that trip
yourself?"

Christians Show Largest Increase
Among Principal Religions of India

LONDON.-In report just issued by
tn. British government giving the main
statistics of the census of the Indian
Empire taken in 1881, it is revealed that
Of the 10 principal religious groupings
there the Christians show the most
notable increase, the total being $780,
900, which denotes an expansion of al
most q third in the last decade.
The proportion today is 18 Christians
per 1000 Of the population, as COM
pared with per 1000 40 years ago.
The greatest number, TIA, ,276-is
concentrated in Madras. The two small
est religious groups are the zoroastrians
or Parsees, with 109,752 inherentS, and
the Jews, of whom there are only "a
141.
Within the 1,80e.679 square miles
comprising the Indian Empire is a pop
ulation OF 352.837,778. nearly three
times that of the United States, and
more than a sixth of the total popula-
ton of the world. The census, which
was carried out on the night of Feb
ruary "a. 1881. in Burma, and the night
of February rs in India proper, indi-
Gates that the population has grown by
approximately $4,000. 900 in the last 10
years, and by 99.0oo,ooo in the last so.
While the Hindus, who form 68 per
CoIlC Oh CIlc COIdl pOpuldtlOIl, dIC otil
by far the largest religious body-682
in 1,000-the Moslems have increased
most rapidly in the last census period
they are now in the proportion of 222 to
l,OO0-and, II their present rate OF
growth Is maintained, will in few
years represent q fourth of the popula-
ton.
The report indicates the common use
Of 225 different languages exclusive OF
innumerable local dialects and at least
20 scripts employed in writing them.
With three exceptions the aggregate
number of speakers Of any of these
languages amounts to not less than
100000.
The most widely used is Hindustani
spoken by q population equal to that of
the United States Bengan is the Ian
guage Of $4,000, 900 and Telugu Is the
speech Of more than 26,000,000 inhabi-
tants Of South Central India. Two Ian
guages Of the Andaman islanders can,
together, only claim 466 speakers.
In the official analysis just issued
the number of illiterate5 is placed at
%, 900 900, whereas 80 years ago the to-
tai was l5,686,00 But the test Of lit
eracy for census purposes is satisfied If
an individual is able to write letter
to a friend and read the answer. The
Indians capable Of doing so represent
only - per cent Of the total popula-
tion.
In ~ report Of the SIMON Commis-
Evening star., 1932-12-25

sion it was stated that the most for
midable obstacle to a satisfactory sys-
tenn of mass education was unwilling-
ness among the Indian villagers-the
rural population of India is 313,858, SGT
to permit their children to attend
school for more than a year or two, and
the barriers Of caste and communal
feeling.
Much progress has been made in fe-
made education, the number of liter
ates having increased from 996,341 in
1901 to 4,169,000 when the last census
was taken. Still only 90 per cent Of
the female population can read and
write, as compared with 1876 OF the
males.
1t Is frankly stated In the govern
ment analysis of census statistics that
returns regarding the infirmities of
members of the population must be ac-
cepted with the greatest reserve" par
ticularly IN the case of females, because
there had obviously been much con-
cealment Figures Of leprosy, it is de-
clared, should probably be multiplied by
8 or even 10. The total number of per-
sons suffering from this disease is given
as 147.9l1. of whom 40.O19 are females.
but this must be actually multiplied by
8 or 10.

nearly seven times as many conflagra-

CARDS the rate In London as high, prin.
cipally because Of stove fires, ffues,
CRATES and hearths and hot ashes. On
the other hand incendiary figures are
very low. Many Of the Paris fires, II
Is stated, are due to airing linen. "A
large number of fires in New York are
attributed to bonfires.
As fires due to the use Of petrol In

considerably on the increase here the
Home Office has taken steps to warn
housewives and others of the dangers
