 Their great difficulty, MT Har- rison said, is the lack of adequate tools such as steam compressors could be put to work, he said. if tools such as steam compressers were made available. The Hamil- ton Park sinking fund report was read showing $357 was made avail able for the fund, during the month. The balance was reached after deducting expenses from re- ceipts.

Death By Monoxide Gas Attributed To
 Services As Guard
Watert0wn Must Assume Burden Under Commission CTS Ruling-Deceased Died While Acting as
 Special WatChman at Gas Station

Hillside avenue in Oakville led au- thorities to determine that a watchman was needed at the gas station.
 Ryan was hired by Victor A. Fogeltsrom,ta policeman of Water- town, under orders of the first se- lectman, to guard the station. Last January 27th he was sent to the station and told to be on guard for thieves. He was dead the next day when discovered. His death, Commissioner Williams points out, was que to the heating apparatus in the station which generated carbon monoxide.
 The deceased watchman was ex- posed to an undue hazard by req son of the heating apparatus the award says. The deceased was earning $21 weekly. Under the award his widow is to be paid $11.50 for 312 weeks and given $200 burial fee.

BRITAIN, IRELAND
 MAY GET TOGETHER
The Difference Now COm= ing Up in New and
 Practical Form

Whatever the outcome of the cussion now going on between Ire land and the British house of com mons may be, it is certain that it looks more favorable for an ad- justment of the long standing feud than ever before. On the Irish side. the question is being handled some- what different than on former oc- casions. De Valera is not looking for war. What he wants is that Ireland be given an opportunity to manage it's own affairs without in- terference from Britain and at the same time have a. union of forces for mutual protection in case con- certed action might at any time de- mand the preservation of the Irish republic and the stability of the British empire.
 This plan has been mentioned frequently back through the cen- turies, and always had the approval of quite few conservative British statesmen, but for &ne reason or another the proposition invariably turned in the opposite direction, re- sulting in insurrection that ended in a sea of blood and yet did not stamp out the aspirations of the Irish people to be masters in their own country. The spirit is as strong today as ever. British statesmen are aware of this and it would be no surprise if they should decide to put Ireland in a position to man. age its own domestic affairs and if they do not make a good job of it, they will not be able to point the accusing finger at their neigh bors across the channel. England and Ireland have much in common and it stands to reason that they should be friends, instead of surly neighbors, condition that will ex- ist as long as the stronger power holds the weaker one in subjection.

SHOE MEN URGED
 TO TAKE LEAD IN
 RECOVERY PLAN
Largest and Oldest Indus= try in Nation and Ought
 to Be Leaders

New York, Dec 5. (UP)-Shoe manufacturers were urged to Head the way in MIRA code adherence in an address before the 3Oth an nual convention of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers Association.
 You are the largest and oldest industry" Colonel Roscoe S. Con- kling, deputy MIRA administrator, told the convention yesterday, From you we can account for $1, 1,0O0,000,O00 annually, and a roll ! call of 35O,000 persons" The depression will not be over," Col Conkling warned, until every employer and employe learns the rules and regulations of MIRA despite the fact that ignorance and misunderstanding has created much confusion, recovery is now moving forward"
 The MIRA boot and shoe industry code provides a definite means for deterring the interruptions manu- lecturers from misbranding his products or employing misleading advertising. Roger A. Shelby, presi- dent of the association, told the meeting.
 Shelby, head of Portsmouth, O., firm, said the code had elimin- ated sweat shop conditions within the industry, as well as unfair com petition due to the underpayment of labor and excessive employment of minors.
 "The MIRA has stimulated in- creased membership in labor union and an unusual expansion in the number of strike and labor difficult ties" Shelby said. "There seems to be evidence now that the adminis- tration appreciates the over-em- phasis which has been given to the labor union factor under the recovery administration, and that we may now expect to return to more normal conditions"

SENATOR LONG IS FACING SERIOUS
 BATTLE TO-DAY
Election Is Being Held But His Enemies Threaten
 to Use ShOtguns

| Hammond, Ia, Dec 5-(UP)-
 The potency of Senator Huey P Longs political machine, which has
 run rough shod over all opposition | in Louisiana for years, met the | acid test in the sixth congressional | district today where irate citizens were threatening to stop a federal
 election with 'shotguns if neces- sary."
 | Only one name was on the ballot | that of Mrs Bolivar E. Kemp, | widow of this districts late repre- sentative. The Long controlled democratic central committee des- l ignated her as the party's candi- | date after Governor o. K. Allen, a
 member of the Long political em- pire, dispensed with the usual party primary in calling the special elec- tion.
 Unrest has seethed for days through the 12 parishes composing the district. Three courthouses were
 raided, thousands of ballots were burned, ballot boxes were destroyed
 and last night citizens guarding the
 two bridges giving ingress to Liv-
 ingston parish, fired upon a truck they believed was bringing in new
 ballots to replace those that had
 been destroyed.
 Iniunctions absolutely prohibit. ing the election were in effect in
 six parishes. Polls were to open at
 6 a. m. State policemen were be-
 ing mobilized in Baton Rouge. and
 although state officials denied they
 would be used, anti-Long leaders
 anticipated that they would be
 brought in to force the election. Objectors to the election have been | threatened with federal prosecu- ton for interference. Long subor- dinates said that any injunction is-
 sued by state court was non-ef- | tective.
 Judge Nat Tyger of Hammond, I who presides over three of the pan ishes, called for volunteers and
 swore in nearly 1000 men in his | district as deputy sheriffs to pre- vent the election at any cost" Authorities expressed fear that bloodshed would result.
 | Senator Long was hanged and burned in effigy by crowd of 500
 citizens in front of the city hall
 here yesterday.

Drop FREEZONE on that aching corn. Instantly it stops hurting; then shortly you lift the corn right off with the fingers. You'll laugh really! It is so easy and doesn't hurt one bit. Works like a charm, every time.
 A tiny bottle of FREEZONE costs only a few cents at any drug store, and is sufficient to remove every hard corn, soft corn, and call fuses. Try it!

Opportunity!
Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle0

Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 Less opportunity today for youth? Competition keener? Opportunity for what?
 There never was greater opportunity to do things that make life worth while. If opportunity means merely the chance to earn humdrum living in a manner standardized in accordance with the exist ence of millions of other human beings, then such opportunity may be more restricted
 The best literature has not yet been written, the greatest works of art to come the best buildings and bridges have not yet been designed built Does opportunity exist for medical science to con quer the scourge of cancer? Find real sculptor ing in Seattle No opportunity for young lawyers with the snarl into which myriad laws have en- meshed our people? No opportunity for young architects and engineers with countless structural monstrosties on all sides? No opportunities for young bankers with Mitchells testimony before the Senate Committee still fresh in our minds? No opportunity for young business men with policy of Let the buyer beware evident everywhere?
 What is meant by opportunity?
 young priest went to the leper colony at Molokai few years ago. He considered it an opportunity to be permitted to spend his life there working among the lepers
 Some one whose name we do not recall has written the following lines Opportunity
 'They do me wrong who say come no more,
 When once knock and fail to find you in,
 For every day I stand outside your door,
 And bid you wake rise to work and win,
 Vail not for precious chances passed away,
 Weep not for golden ages on the wane,
 Each night I burn the record of that day,
 At sunrise every soul is born again.
 If all vision as Opportunity IS the "chiseng" of a living from life, perhaps it is just as well that the knock is unheard and that the door remains closed forever

REJECTING BEER LICENSES.

Since the Territorial beer and wine control law has been effective in this Division there have been two reflections of applications for licenses. In both instances the Federal District Court which was made the licensing agency by the legislature held that the applicants were not entitled to have the licenses they sought
 The latest sufferer by reason of this action of the Court Dave Housel, pioneer local business man and for several years proprietor and operator of the Alaskan Hotel He has earned and merits fine reputation for business probity, responsibility, and is highly regarded a law w-abiding individual and a good citizen. That estimation of his char acter has at least seemingly, been accepted in the past by the Federal District Court, not once or twice but on many occasions In his business activi ties, MT Housel comes into contact with a great many residents of foreign citizenship. A large number of such persons in becoming naturalized American citizens have called him of the two witnesses that required by law In no single instance so far as be ascertained, has any foreigner seeking citizenship and for whose character he has vouched been denied the orders that make him full-fedged American citizen with all the rights privileges and duties pertaining thereto
 That very fact should it would appear, be suf- ficent to attest to the character of MT Housel. If it iss high enough and it is and was, to have justified ths court in accepting his endorsement of many aliens and that endorsement was an essential factor in bestowng the title of American citizenship upon them, surely it is good enough to entitle him to license to sell beverage that has been legalzed by the Congress of the United States, and upon which the Congress has puts it's seal as being notwithstanding.
 The local House of Representatives by resolution said at least part of thought about the refusal of the court to grant the application of George Brothers prominent local grocers for retail beer and wine license. Any further comment would be surplusage The good reputation of that reputable firm, which has many hundreds of customers and thousands of friends is too well established to need defense It's character, that of the owners, and of MT House are of the highest type, above reproach. Neither George Brothers MT. Housel will find their regulations lowered in public esteem by the courts action In fact it is not amiss to say that it made friends for both parties.
 The bright spot in the two incidents is that a change in personnel of the court is expected in the not distant future Until that happens, both will have to suffer Under the circumstances it is not cause for wonderment that demand for an immediate change is insistent and almost general.
