BIRMINGHAM. Ala, August 20
A large rattlesnake with eight rat
tiers twisted and turned in the
hands of two Church of God evan
gelists before several hundred peo-
ple-many of them admittedly doubt
ing ThomaSes-at meeting last
night, but nothing happened. The
snake just wouldn't bite.
Scattered about in the large audi
ence at the open-air meeting were
numerous spectators who said they
were skeptical Of the performance OF
Rev. D. L. Dodson Of Nashville,
Tenn, and Rev. Paul Jones of Mo-
bile, Ala.
Some said the snakes fangs had
been removed. Others said undoubt-
edly the reptiles poison sacks had
been emptied.
Meanwhile. Dodson and Jones con-
tinued handling the snake.
Carl Lumpkin said the snakes
fangs were all right. Carl's father
caught the snake.
Dodson said he or any member OF
his party would handle any snake il
the spirit of God was upon them. ~
But-unless they "felt the spirit
there would be no snake-handling,
the minister said.

of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
for support Of the Chicago Motor
Coach Co. against striking drivers
and the harassing of legitimate
drivers"
The accusations came during a day
in which one man was shot by police
bullets, another was felled with q
stone and buses were showered with
bricks.
Meanwhile, both sides announced
they were standing pat" and pros
poets of a settlement in the near fu-

of the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway Employees

would consider, probably this after
noon, the request Of the elevated and
surface line operators in Chicago fol-
authorization to strike in sympathy
with the bus operators.
H. D. Friel, a Labor Department
conciliator, is here investigating the
motor coach strike, it was reported In
Washington.
Friel arrived yesterday from Colum-

to Hugh Kerwin, chief Of the Concilia-

Jack Donahue and Edward James
Murphy, the two Western bad men"
who attempted to lead a strike" at
Lorton Reformatory today, were jailed
as a result Of the kidnapping and rob-
berry of a Federal Trade Commission
clerk, David T. Burgh.
Donahue. who was serving l6 years,
and Murphy, who was sentenced to
five years, took Burgh ION a ride" the
night of May 3. They accosted him
about 10 pm. at Nineteenth and I
streets as he stepped from his auto
mobile and forced him back into the
machine at pistol point.
Then. for an hour, they drove him
about the city, apparently trying to
decide what to do. Finally, they
drove out on the Baltimore boulevard,
past Beltsville to Sunnyside. Stop
ping the car in a woods, the two men
stripped Burgh down to his under
wear, took from his pockets $11 in
cash, a check for $l4 and watch
worth $40. Then they departed in
Burgh's car after tying him securely
to a tree.
It was not until o'clock the next
morning that Burgh broke loose from
his bonds. Clad only in his under
wear, he tramped up to farm house,
told his story and telephoned police.
Donahue and Murphy were arrested
in Baltimore six days later after the
watch had turned up in pawnshop.
They were brought here, confessed and
were convicted.
Donahue names McAlester, Okla. as
his home and Murphy says he came

LABOR ORGANIZATION
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States agreed today to
become a member of the International
Labor Organization, an adjunct Of the
League Of Nation, designed to improve
the working mans conditions through
out the world
Acceptance by President Roosevelt
of an invitation to join was made
known by the State Department.
Government representatives empha-
sized that the acceptance, authorized
by Congress last session. does not in
volve the United States in any obliga-
tions under the Covenant Of the
League of Nations.
All League members and few nom
League members hold membership in
the labor organization.
Congress specified that United States
membership in the group would not
impose or be deemed to impose any
obligation or agreement upon the
United States to accept the proposal
of that body as involving anything
more than recommendations for its
consideration"

not as happy about the recent
primary results as some of their state
mentS indicate, but neither are they
sad.
The only amazing thing to them
was the defeat of Glen Shaver in
West Virginia by a youngster after
Postmaster General Farley tried to
lend Shaver a helping hand. They
knew in advance that Donahey would
win in Ohio. In both cases, they tried
to make the best of things by taking
the youngster and Donahey into the
fold.
Messrs. Farley ct al. really believe
they will win in both States this Fall.
Much more serious to them from
practical inner standpoint WdS
the D:ctory OF Boss PendergdSt in
the Missouri senatorial primary. Up
to noW Pendergdst has been only
minor annoyance to the Farley
cldn II his man iUinS the NoOem-
Der election, he tUiH become ma
jor one.
The Farley boys are supposed to
have had an arrangement with
Pendergast up to now allowing him
to veto any Objectionable appoint
ments in his district. That arrange
ment has not worked out very well
from Farley's standpoint. because
Pendergast has occasionally kept Veto
ing men until Farley got around to
suggesting the man Pendergast really
wanted.
If Pendergast succeeds in sending
his man to the Senate, he will have
to be dealt with at headquarters here
on a broader business basis.
The T. v. A. is buying stoves, re-
frigerators and water heaters as elec-
trical equipment for its homes 1t
plans to buy water pumps later, but
no washing machines. The washing
machine makers are up in arms.
