UNIONS MAY
RETAL|ATE

LOS ANGELES, July ii. UP)H
Threat of Los Angeles Union work
ers joining in any coastwide gen.
eral strike preceded today but in
its stead arose the specter of a
buyers strike" aimed at merchants
accused of aiding coastal shippers.
Possibility of such strike was
discussed at full length by 80 labor
union chieftains here last night
as rioting flared anew in the San
Pedro harbor area, resulting in
four casualties.
I'VE believe that a buyers strike
would be more effective than a
general strike" said J. r. Buzzell,
secretary of the central labor coun-
Gil.
In the event Of buyers strike,
workers would refuse to purchase
any commodities other than the
bare necessities of life, it was ex-
planned. A mass meeting of work
ers, it was decided, win be held
July 26 to discuss the entire strike
situation.
The riot broke out in Whining
ton when 200 striking longshore-
men and strikebreakers clashed
with knives and graphing hooks.
They battled for half an hour be-
fore police riot squads dispersed
them. Richard Morgan, %, and
James Kellogg, 20, Long Beach
strikers, and Monte Gray. As, and
George Phillips, 38, strikebreakers,
were treated for cuts and bruises.
Phillips was held on suspicion Of
assault with a deadly weapon.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
tCopyrght, 1894 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)

Some of the cookies she cut out in
the shapes of stars, some in the
shapes of roller skates, some like
baseball bats, some like kites and
some like popguns.
When these shapes. in dough.
had been put in a pan to be baked
in the hot oven, Nurse Jane made
one last cookie. This was in the
shape of a funny, brown clown,
made from molasses and ginger
dough.
THAT dough clown will be for
Baby Bunty when it is baked, " said
Nurse Jane as she popped all the
cookies into the oven.
'Thank you," said the little Or
phan rabbit clapping her paws.
BY this time the bunny children
had forgotten how mizzable' they
were They didn't seem to care
that it was still raining. They
crowded into the kitchen waiting
for the cookies to be baked Soon
there was sweet, spicy smell all
over the cottage.
1.-The cookies are done!o said
Nurse Jane and she took the pan
from the oven. There they we're
cookies shaped like kites, like roll
er skates, like popguns and like
stars. But, jolliest of all, was the
dough clown for Baby Bunty. Only
now he wasn't a soft, Squidgie
dough clown, but a hard baked mo-
lasses clown.
All Brown and Tanned
"You can tell he's at the sea-
shore!" laughed Bunty. Hes all
brown and tanned -
eyes" said Nurse Jane. But
don't eat your dough clown until
he cools, Bunty, or he burn your
tongue.
"Ill be careful" promised the
little orphan rabbit. She put the
dough clown, or, better to say the
molasses clown, on the sill of an
oren window on the side of the
cottage where no rain came. Then
the rabbit children played about,
waiting for their cookies to cool.
All of a sudden Buster shouted:
"Look at the molasses cloWn
He's jumping out of the window! -
Bunty Looked in time to see her
clown cookie slide off the window
sill. "Oh, he has come to life!
He's running awayl" she cried.
Nonsense! - laughed Nurse Jane.
s.More likely it's crow bird try
ing to steal It'll" And so it was.
A black crow had swooped down
and had picked up Bunty's clown
in his beak But Nurse Jane op-
ened the door, shook her broom at
the bold, black bird and made him
drop the dough clown. Buster ran
out and picked it up for Bunty and
it was just as good as ever and
{ quite cool enough to eat So ev-
erybody was happy but the crow

IRELAND MAY
START USING
OWN MONEY

DUBLIN, July IA. W.P)EEamon
de Valera's slow campaign to pry
the Irish Free States away from
the United Kingdom-if not also
out of the British empire-has re-
vived the discussion here of plans
for separate Irish currency.
1t is not a discussion to which
De Valera has lent any encourage
ment, but has sprung up, apparent
ly, in agrarian circles; Free State
conference of farmers is being ar
ranged, probably for the middle Of
July, to thrash out the problems of
foreign banking and currency"
The reference to foreign" is in
tended to suggest that the Free
State currency system is tied to
foreign" currency, the British
pound sterling.
Two years ago there was consid-
cradle talk of an entirely new unit
of currency, to be called the Irish
dollar out of compliment to
friendly nation across the seas.
Less is heard of that now, but
there is talk, especially among the
farmers, of new and completely
Irish pound, which would be de-
valued to, say, rs per cent of the
British pound, thus making Free
State goods attractive in price to
foreigners"
Thus far DE Valera has largely
ignored the discussion, having
plenty of more immediate issues to
think about.

FARMERS TO VOTE ON CORN
HOG-PLAN

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
has moved to let the Nations farm
ers decide for themselves whether
to continue it's policies.
The Secretary, through Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administrator
Chester Davis, ordered national
referendum of farmers on 1895 con-
tinuation of the $305, 100000 corn
hog payment program.
1t was indicated similar referenda
would be ordered on wheat, tobacco
and cotton production curtailment
when those programs expire next
year.
AAA already has paid $5S,0O0,0OO
to farmers for limiting production
to balance prices, Wallace said. The
program was authorized only for
1894.

USE THE HAND SIGNAL

eff all motorists make practice
of using the hand signal when turn
ing or stopping, highway accidents
will show a material decrease"
That statement was made yester-
day by Albert E. Buckley, Manager
of the Keystone Automobile Club of
Maryland, in announcing the open
ing of a campaign sponsored by the
Club for universal adoption of the
hand signal by motorists. Direct
appeal to members is made in the
September issue of the Keystone
Motorist, official Club publication,
which devotes a page to an explana-
ton of the laws on turning move
ments and another page to illustrate
the proper method of signaling and
the position on the highway to be
occupied by vehicles about to make
right or left turns.
"It is apparent" said the Club
official, chat large numbers of driv-
ers pay little or no, attention to sig
mailing. They fail to realize that the
high accident rate is due. in part, to
failure of motorists to make known
to other drivers their intentions to
stop Or turn. In Pennsylvania new
significance has recently been given
to this requirement, a Supreme
Court decision absolving from blame
in a fatal accident driver who sig
nailed and placing responsibility on
the motorist who disregarded the
signal"
Simple rules for effective signal
ing are given as follows;
For a left turn, point with the in
dex finger to the left to indicate to
drivers in the rear intention to turn
that way. For a right turn, make
a sweeping motion from the rear to
indicate drivers following may pass
to the left. When coming to a full
stop, keep hand and arm in steady
position.
The Club also urges drivers to OBJ
serve the law respecting the proper
position of vehicles at the time of
turning. Left turns should be made
from a position as close as possible
to the center Inc of the highway,
and right turns from the lane near
est to the right-hand side, of the
highway.

FOR A SAFE SEPTEMBER

September will be Safety Month
in 80 states and the District of Co
lumbia. By executive proclamation,
an effort is being made to arouse
public interest in one of the most
pressing problems of the day-the
conservation of human life.
Special emphasis is placed on
motor driving, and, judging by sta
tistics, there was never greater need
for it. Unless there is marked
improvement in the highway acct
dent record during the very worst
months of the year-September, Oc-
tober and November-the number OF
automobile deaths and injuries for
1884 may break all records. Ac-
cording to late reports, the number
of fatalities for June was IA per
cent greater than in 1888, the aver
Iage increase for the first six months
of the year is now about 20 per cent.
If this trend continues, deaths
for the year will number nearly 3d.

PROTECT THE NATIONS
CHILDREN

Education has been called the ma
tons biggest business. More than
25,OO0,0OO pupils attend American
schools, ranging in size from little
one-room shacks in distant country
sides, to the magnificent stone struc-
lures in our major cities.
AS the National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters points out, the nation
owes these children great respon-
sibility-that of providing them
with maximum protection from fire.
The tragic records of the past show
how badly we have failed in dis
charging that duty The history of
every state contains black pages
which recount school fires resulting
in deaths of helpless children. In
some disasters as many as 200 child
rem have perished-needlessl
Past surveys have demonstrated
that the average school is literally a
fire-trap-and some of the newest
and most expensive schools are as
dangerous in this respect as those
built thirty years ago. Improper
doors, faulty construction, made
quate exits, carelessness in the stor-
ing of infammable supplies
are menaces to life that exist in
thousands of school buildings, UNI
known to the parents who send
their children to them.
The National Board is considering
a survey of schools throughout the
United States, as a preparation for
a general report on school proper
ties, construction and equipment.
If that survey is made, it will pro-
duce much valuable new data-data
which should be Immediately acted
upon in the interest of protecting
invaluable lives.
