Federal Arms Taken Out
OF Strike Breaking Business
By Connery Bill No. al
Measure Bars Employment of U. S. Military Equipment
Without Secretary of Wars Express Permisson-Pro-
posa of Special Interest to Workers of Georgia. Whose
Governor Used Federal Munitions to Break Strike.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Con
gressman Connery, of Massachusetts,
has introduced bill-Joint Resolu-
ton No. 141-to take Uncle Sans
military equipment out of the strike
breaking business. 1t provides that
no federal equipment, arms, muni-
tions, or any form of war material
belonging to the federal government,
shall be used by state troops on
strike duty without the express per-
mission of the Secretary of War.
This bill is designed to end one of
the meanest anti-labor CRAFTS that
even big business and its political
henchmen have been guilty of. 1t
should be especially interesting to the
workers of Georgia, smarting under
the injustice of the mischievous clown
whom they were tricked into electing
governor.
Eugene Talmadge was running for
his second term in the governors
chair when the textile strike came.
The primary is the real election in
Georgia as in most of the South;
whoever wins the nomination in the
democratic primaries is elected.
Workers tried in vain to find what
Governor Talmadge proposed to do;
but until the votes were counted, and
he had safe lead for the nomination,
he wouldn't tell.
Talmadge Shows Hand
Then he struck First he ordered
two companies of state militia to Car
tersville. He ordered out others al
most hour by hour, until in three days
40 companies of Georgia militia, all
of them more or less equipped with
federal supplies, were doing all the
governor could make them do to break
the textile strike.
Two hundred pickets were
seized and herded into detention
camp just outside Atlanta. An
other 1870 were arrested at the
mill town Of Newman Others
were arrested in other places un-
til 'Hadmadge thought he had the
strike smashed. He doesn't un-
derstand yet how the strikers
held out
Talmadge's attitude may be judged
from an article which he wrote for the
Manufacturers Record, hard boiled
anti-labor organ Of the mill bosses.
Opposes Basic Labor Rights
When anyone quits a job, he
wrote, he doesn't have the right to
hang around the place of business and
interfere with anyone else who wants
to work on the job"
The right to strike is one of the
basis rights of labor everywhere, and
the right to picket peacefully has
been upheld by high federal courts,
But that made no difference to Tai
madge.
The A. F. of L. made vigorous
protest against Talmadge's lawless
violence
"Your declaration and maintenance
of martial law" wired President
Green, your wholesale arrest of men
and women who dared to strike

PENSION URGED

Efforts to obtain favorable Con-

to award pension to Americas
outstanding World War hero have

AS a. reward for this heroism, it
has been proposed that Congress
should vote Sergeant Mike" a

Ambition burns fiercely for
Mona Bennett Of the Bureau Of
Home Economics, Department Of
Agriculture. And rightly so, for
she's more than an ordinary en-
ploye of the Federal service.
Miss Bennett is IN artist, a for
mer student of the Corcoran Art
School and National School of
Fine and Applied Art. For about
seven years, since joining the Fed
eral service, much of her work has
been drawing covers for the de-
partment's numerous bulletins, ar.
ranging exhibits, and posing pic
lures.
Eventually, the talented young
worker hopes to become CONNER
cial artist, and says she believes
New York offers the best oppor-
tunity for such a career.
A brunette, with wavy brown
hair and black eyes, Miss Bennett
is quiet, reserved, and serious, but
she has a ready smile, too.
She confesses to an extreme
case of homeSickness when she
first came to this city from her
home, Munson, Mass, near Spring
field, but says she's now learned
to love washington.

Boy! Page Sherlock Holmes!
There are strange goingS-on in
the bird house at the Zoo.
Doors leading to subterranean
passages swing mysteriously open
after being wired shut.
A colored attendant became so
jittery he asked DR.. William M.
Mann, director of the Zoo, for a
transfer and a IS raise to steady
his nerves.
Old-timers say it is the ghost
of DR.. A. B. Baker, former assist
ant superintendent, who is haunt
ing the bird house.
Even the birds are squawking.
Wiring Fails
At first, DR.. Mann said, no one
thought much about it when the
door leading into subterranean
tunnel under the bird house was
found open. The catch was tight
ened. Yet the next morning the
door again was found wide open.
Then it was wired shut. Alert
attendants, checking up, found it
swinging on its hinges and the
birds fluttering uneasily against
the bars of their cages. This hap.
pened three times in one night,
DR.. Mann said.
After a week of this the colored
attendant asked to be transferred.
He was afraid to work where there
were "hauntS," he said.
No Valuable Birds
DR.. Mann said none of the
feathered inhabitants are Suf-
ficiently valuable to warrant a
thief hiding all day in rat-ridden
passage, especially since the bird
house is locked at night.
Maybe, the good doctor said
with a wink, it is the ghost Of
the late DR.. Baker returning to
visit his former pets. He added:
''If 1 don't clear up this
mystery / won't have any at
tendantS left!"

CRIME HEARING
WILL RESUME
MONDAY
Great Maze of Testimony Pre-
CIudeS Finish of Probe
This Session

Counsel for special House
subcommittee investigating crime
conditions in Washington was
digging into a complex mass Of
facts and evidence today in
preparation for hearings which
begin Monday morning.
Police officers, including Cap
tain Rhoda Milliken, chief of the
Women's Bureau, have appeared
before DR.. John R. Fitzpatrick,
counsel for the committee, with
evidence which is believed will
throw light on the crime Situa-
ton here and which will enable
the committee to prepare rene
dial legislation.
Maze of Testimony
Inspector William G. Stott will
be the first witness to be called
when hearings are resumed Mon
day it has been announced by Rep
resentative Jennings Randolph
CD.) of west Virginia, and chair
man of the committee. The sched-
uled list of those who will be called
to testify includes names of we'll
known gangsterS, petty thieves, big
shot gamblers and officials of the
Metropolitan Police Department.
It is through this maze of con.
flicting testimony that the com
mittee, in preparing it's legiSla-
tion. will be forced to wade In
reaching the goal it has set be-
fore itself. That the committee
will accomplish its end this ses-
sion of Congress is considered
highly doubtful.
Lots or Reforms
While the abolition of gambling
seems to be the especial target of
the Congressional reformers other
aspects of the vice situation in the
National Capital are not being
overlooked by the legislators. Civil
service requirements for police
men, for example, has occupied
much of the attention of the COM
mittee. Particularly articulate in
his denunciation of the system for
police officers has been Represen.
tative William T. Schultz (D0, of
Indiana.
Lined up with the Schultz ranks
on this question have been such
public officials as Major Ernest
w. Brown, police chief, and Lieut..
George M. Little, chief of the vice
squad.
That District Attorney Leslie C.
Garnett will be again summoned
before the committee is almost a
certainty.
When he testified last week be-
fore the committee Mr.. Garnett
made what have been interpreted
as damaging admissions of inef.
ficiency in his department. 1t is
believed the committee wants to
give Mr.. Garnett an opportunity
to clarity certain details of his tes-
timony, at the same time allowing
him to speak in defense of certain
of his actions against which criti-
cism has recently been leveled, u>

Says:

Due to that collision between
the battleships, Hood and Re-
nOwn, England is going to court
martial an admiral and a cap
tain. Apparently, one of them
tried to make a turn without
holding out his hand.
The commander Of the Re
nOwn said he could hardly be-
lieve it when he saw the worlds
largest battleship heading into
him Guess he thought some
body was trying to pull the
Hood over his eyes.
Even so, England is lucky. Ac-
cording to our expe- is, the
American Navy is so bad off. H..
they haven't got one hattleship
to rub against another.

collision. but when two babies
come together it's twins?

The gallery, to house the $19,-
