Hold Out SOlidly

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Auto work
ers here are holding out solidly
despite bosses attempts to smash
their ranks and arouse the senti-
ment of non-striking workers
against the union and its demands
for closed shop. Stool pigeons in
the union have several times tried
to swing the membership into ac-
cepting small wage increase in
return for giving up demands for
union recognition and the closed
shop, and to split the ranks of the
strikers by raising the red scare, but
these moves were defeated when the
membership voted full confidence in
the strike leadership and its pro-
gram.

That night, Allen, riding in

loquacious driver.

women on the liquor bOard?"

slipper was still on her foot,
the other had fallen to the

was an overturned straight
chair.
Ranny knew at once that
she was dead, for her face was
blackened and swollen, her
eyes protruding, her tongue,
three times it's natural size,
hanging from her mouth. Upon
her breast glistened a hand
some pearl pendant, set in
"a rose diamonds, once the
property of the late Czarina
Of Russia. It had been given
to Mrs. Paige as q wedding
gift from her father.
With what was almost mirac-
ulous GOODNESS under the cir
cumstanceS, Paige had drawn
out a pocket knife and had
cut her down and laid her on
a daybed. He had bent over
her and touched her hand and
had called her name but had
made no effort to revive her,
knowing well that she was be-
yond help. Instead he had
rushed to the telephone and
sent his frantic call to the
TowSon police station.

Duck hunting is one of the

paid no attention to them,
thinking that it would be inn

Now a rather curious state Of

The Governor not only appoints

the entire State and City de-

ship this works upon occasion.
