Whereas: The United Mine Work

Whereas: Tbs checking-off Of
union dues by the operator is in con-
tradiction with the principle Of vol
untary membership; and
Whereas: Tens of thousands OF
our members are inactive In the union
affairs because the operators collect
their dues; and
Whereas: Whereas the checking
off union dues by the operator gives
the operator the right to deduct from
the miners pay for company doctor.

rent and many other items; and
Whereas: The check-off has given
the officers the unlimited control Of
the U.M.W.A. and Is being used by
them against the rank and file mem
bership; and
Whereas: Recently a change has
been made to the effect OF the OPP
orator turning the entire dues money
to the district officers instead Of to the
local union, which gives the officers g.
heavy club against the membership
especially at the time Of strike, since
the officers are against strikes; and
Whereas: The voluntary dues pay

not deduct from the miners wages

proved the decision to call off the gen.
eral strike, and urged the workers to
continue a few individual strikes.
Break the General Strike
The new absolute powers Of the Ma
tional Labor Board, plus the new
strikebreaking acts of the A. F. Of l..
oficialdom, broke the back OF the
general truckers strike on its third
day. The bosses heaved sigh of re-
lief. RooSevelts new executive powers
were working against the workers.
Several OF the A. F. OF l.. locals re-
manned on individual strikes with
promises Of arbitration by the Re-
gional Labor Board in Philadelphia,
which was acceptable to the Socialists.
In contrast to the recent Chicago
stockyard strike, where virtually no
work at all was done among the A. r.
Of l.. rank and file, in Philadelphia
contact had been made, but in both
places the same basic weaknesses
showed themselves. There was no sys-
tenlatic rank and file opposition work
to take advantage OF the pressure of
the workers against their officialdom,
In order to force the strike thru de-
spite the wishes Of the bureaucracy.
In Philadelphia, after having made
contact with the top strike committee,
we did not sufficiently agitate from
below putting thru the basic slogan of
rank and file control OF the strike thru
a broad strike co,nfuittae
ONLY one leafset was gotten out by
" the Trade Union Unity League at
the height of the strike. This leafiet
had little value so far as helping the
strikers or exposing the actions of
the National Labor Board, particu-
larly the A. F. OF L. The leaf1et merely
informs the strikers that the Trade
Union Unity League greets your
action" and that workers got no wage
increases, on which they had no mis-
understandings. One line tells the
workers to Spread the strike to the
street cars and subways.o But that Is
all. No exposure of the role Of Green
and Co. on the National Labor Board.

COUNTY CHIEFS
ARE UPHELD IN
: BOUNDARY WAR
Judge Williams Refuses to
Enjoin Boards Acts
lin Advance

Right Of Marion county COM
missioners to determine boundaries
between Perry and Decatur town
ships, was upheld by Superior
Judge Joseph R. William this af-
ternoon.
The ruling followed several weeks
of legal battle with each township
seeking victory to obtain $5,O00,-
600 parcel of utility property for
taxation.
Inability of the court to enjoin
commissioners acts in advance
was the basis of Williams ruling in
dissolving restraining order OBJ
tanned by Decatur township against
the commissioners.
The ruling also denied petition for
a permanent injunction against the
commissioners, asked by John Rou-
ton, Decatur township trustee.
Fight over the township boun-
diaries began when petition was pre-
scented to the commissioners by
Perry township residents seeking tC
include property of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company, ap-
praised at $5,OOO,0O0, within Perry
township limits by changing the
boundary line.
In his ruling, Williams cited thu
1919 state law regarding boundar!
changes, in which the power il
vested in the commissioners, wh'
may act upon petition.

important than the tools themselves.
Garden crops that require con-
siderable space like tomatoes, peas,
and pole beans may often be grown
trained to stakes, strings, or to
trellises SO as to save space.
Pole lima beans, for example,
sometimes can be planted along
side division fence and trained on
the fence.
tomatoes can be planted twenty
four inches apart each direction
and pruned to single stem and
tied to stakes, instead of setting
them three by four feet and letting
the vines lie on the ground.
Poultry netting about thirty inches
"loe ana fastened to stakes makes
the best kind of a support for peas,
and when the peas stop bearing the
netting can be taken down, rolled
up and s.Ored so that it will last

CucumberS and melons may be
trained to wire netting fastened to
the sunny side of the garage. One
gardener had great many stones
IN his garden and he piled the
stones in piles about three feet in
height, planted cucumbers around
the base of each stone pile and
trained the cucumber vines over the
piles of stone.
Where bean poles cannot be OBJ
tanned, a trellis made OF strips of
wood and strings for the beans to
climb on will serve the purpose.

THIS is the second of a series of
four hands played by the ia
nous Bidrite Club team in winning
the eastern championship.
Occasionally. in teams-of -four
matches you viii find a board where
both pairs of a team are plas-that
is, the North and South pair will
make plus score as well as their
East and West partners. However,
to find both pairs making a doubled
contract is rather rare.
The biggest swing of the tourna-
ment took place in the following
hand, which was played by Richard
Frey, who was holding the North
cards. His partner, David Burn
slime, was in the South.

vulnerable.
But here, Mr.. Frey found him

he thought would justify a third
hand psychic bid of one heart. East
doubled to show three and one-half
tricks.
Mr.. Burnstine in the South
passed, and West bid one spade in
response to his partners double.
Mr. Frey felt that East and West
had game, due to the fact that
his partner had made no attempt
on two occasions to enter the bid
ding.
Therefore, he decided to show his
second suit, and bid two clubs,
which East promptly doubled.
