strike.
Expressed Rebellion
All of these were expressions
of the growing conscious rebel

The IWW, then the most milit-
ant revolutionary force in Amer

criminal syndicalism law. After
the Coolidge prosperity era set
in, the law was dormant.
Then Depression"
In 1880, after the crisis had
driven millions of workers out of
industry and into charity and re-
lief lines, the Oregon criminal
syndicalism law was again
brought out mad busted off. M.
r. Bacon, red squad stool pigeon,
was forced to recite some of the
history. OF the use of this law.
Bacon had long wanted to get on
the Portland police force. In
March, 1880, unemployed held
militant demonstration for relief
from the hunger-ratiOns that
charity dished out to them. A day
or so after the demonstration,
Bacon was given a job. 1t wasn't |
a very nice job-but people like
Bacon are not particular. He
was assigned to join the Com
munist Party and spy on the
workers, to set as many traps as
he could, to provoke any excuse
he could for arrests. Thirteen
workers were arrested and charg-
ed with criminal syndicalism. Ben
Boloff was the only one convicted.
His ten year sentence-after the
jury, as in the more recent De
Jonge case, had recommended
leniency-arOused storm of
protest.

them, the four bats devoured two
pigeon carcasses each night on the
nine remaining days before we reached
New York.
Since they have been on exhibition
in the Reptile House they continue to
eat regularly. Strangely enough, they
show little disposition to adopt the
roomy quarters of the large cage pro-
vided for them. When they first
arrived, set their travelling cage
inside a large cage and left the sliding
door of the travelling cage open. ex-
pecting that as they became accus-
toned to their surroundings they
would take advantage of the larger
space. They do crawl out at night and

cage again, suspended from its roof.
Next to the great fruit-eating bats
of Malaysia, of the genus Pterobns, the
Spectral Vampires have the largest
wingspread of any bats in the world.
Forty inches is the record for YAM
byrus spectrum; something like sixty
inches is the size of Pterobus.
There are more than five hundred
species of bats known in the world.
The United States has fair share of
them, but all are insect-eaters and, of
course, quite harmless to humans. 1t is
in the tropics that the more interesting
forms exist - the huge fruit-eater of
the Far East, the sanguineous and
sometimes deadly little true vampire
of the New World tropics, the great
carnivorous bat that now for the first
Evening star., 1935-12-01

time the New York Geological Park is
able to exhibit.
There remains one more that is Curl
GUS in the extreme - the hsh-eating
bat of the American tropics. How can
a bat grasp. manipulate and eat such
a slippery, active creature as fish -
and good-sized one, too - with the
facility that Noctilio leporfnns is
known to have? What are the other
life habits of such highly specialized
bat?
Nobody knows. Nobody has ever
observed a live one close at hand
through protracted period. But last
summer in the Gasparee cave in
Trinidad l found deep cavern where
thousands of fish-eating bats were
hiding. Some day -.

yours will fight as mine did and you
won't get them back to New York.
Tomorrow we will try another tree,
down at Santa Cruz"
Since | had dressed for the jungle
one day and had been mistaken, |
dressed for pleasant country jaunt
the following day and again | was
mistaken.
Instead of white shirt, slacks and
white shoes, proper bush costume
would have been more useful in the
predicament we got ourselves into.
The tree itself was not too difficult Of
approach. although it meant a bit of
rough walking through a bush area
cultivated only here and there. But
as we approached steady droning
sound was noticeable. Here's some
thing didn't count on" the Professor
said. Apparently we've got bee tree
as well as bat tree. See them?"
He pointed about twenty feet up
the side of the great trunk. where
streams of small yellow bees were
going in and out of three or four
openings.
They won't sting" he added.
That's our stingless bee, you know,
But they bite about as we'll as other
bees sting"
The bees created new problem
Like the ceiba tree the day before, this
one was hollow and quick inspection
showed that there were bats high up
inside. But there were bees, too.
Thinking that they had merely
wandered in through the hollow side,
since the air was full of bees, we re-
solved to plug the openings of the
nest. Chloroform-saturated plugs were
soon fitted into the holes, after which
Achi and his boys covered the opening
into the tree with the big net.
Plugging the bee openings was per-
haps mistake. Certainly our next
move was. One opening we had
missed. and bees were pouring out of
it at projectile speed. 1t seemed worth
while trying to smoke them away
from the tree altogether, and so with
rag dipped in gasoline and tied at
the end of long pole we tried to
drive the colony away.
But the colony turned inward in
stead of away. The nest apparently
had an exit into the hollow trunk as
we'll as several to the outside, and at
the first application of fame and
smoke perfect cloud of bees boiled
out into the tight little hollow where
Achi and boy were snatching at
bats.
We heard them yell. and then we
heard a fearful squeaking. The bees
were making no distinction of species
and we're biting V0mby1us spectrum
as we'll as Homo sdbienS. But Achi
and his companion we're game: they
thrust one bat out from under the
netting and stayed inside with the
bees to get the other.
Outside we were almost as bad off
as they were inside. Hundreds of bees
were slamning into us and hanging
onto our unprotected faces and necks
long enough to bite. Every second l
regretted that had worn thin white
shirt, for the bees nipped through the
cloth easily. For few moments had
my hands full with a fluttering,
squeaking, bee-bitten bat before l
got him safely into the cage; and then
Achi and the boy burst out of the tree
with ripping of the net and almost
threw another bat at me while they
fought bees.
thrust the second one in the cage,
banged down the door panel, picked
the whole cage up and ran through
briars and bush as hard as | could to
get away. with the whole party at my
heels and the more vindictive bees not
