Pole Far Too Short

Members of the camp gathered around to watch the fun, each armed with a gun. They resem- bled a small army.
 Something had to be done, how ever, to get the bear loose. A long pole was procured and a knife tied to the end of it. With this in his hands, Carl, who ad- mitted the pole wasn't half long enough, approached the rope and succeeded in cutting it.
 Whether the enraged animal would charge the men or beat a retreat was not known, but a universal sigh of relief went up when he chose the latter course, heading for the woods at express

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, - A simultaneous strike of all coast maritime unions looms as distin ct possibility, in the event that differences are not settled peace fully by October 28th.
 To the Maritime Commissions demand for an indefinite water front truce, executives of several unions answered with appeals to members to vote them authority to call a strike at midnight Oct ober 28th Eff no satisfactory az reement has been reacted"
 The ILA is the only one so far to submit a strike proposal which was in the form of a statement and ballot. Executives of six of other major waterfront un- ions have agreed to submit like proposals to their memberships, ''so that simultaneous action may be taken if it is deemed ad- visable.
 The unions have declared that the Commissions insistence for an indefinite truce, while it investi- gates, contained threat" which has given rise to the opinion that the Commission lis assuming pow CTS with which it has not been entrusted"
 The unions asserted that the employers wished by arbitration, to take away some of the union gains made in the past, and 'the organization cannot submit to this as a matter of principle"

Caught Easily

Carl had the idea it would be fun to rope the animal. His plans did not proceed past the roping stage at the time and the possi- bility of having to unrope him didn't occur until later.
 Accordingly, it wasn't much trouble to drop a lasso over the animals head and shoulders, and then the fun began.
 Carl snubbed the rope around the tree and leaped away just in time to miss a sWoop of the bears paw that would have knocked him flat. Eight hundred pounds of fighting, snarling mad bear immediately proceeded to tear up the earth surrounding the trees.
 Fearing he would break loose, two more ropes were thrown on him. A second later he broke one rope and wore another in two around a tree. Meanwhile he had uprooted three young trees in the vicinity in his efforts to free himself.

Department OF Justice will substitute
the sing-song "de-dah-de" Of radio
telegraph for radio telephone in re-
laying messages between three or

The radio telephone or voice trans
nitters, which, since 1927 have been
"calling all cars" In an increasing
number Of cities and States, will be
Seserved for station-to-station COM
Munications and for direct calls to
radio cruisers, he said.
Kinsey, communications director Of
the Ohio highway patrol, said several
State police organizations already are
operating telegraph transmitters-
which send out dots and dasaes in
stead of the voice Of an announcer
and that all relays through more than
one station must be made by that
method after January l. 1898, under

Commission order.
"As the interstate system grows It
will be possible, because Of the In

in East Arkansas was ended today by
declaration of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union.
H. L. Mitchell, secretary of the

The union announcement brought
laughs from farmers and officers in
Cross, Crittenden and st. Francis

never been effective, that labor has
been plentiful at Is cents a day and
that the calling off of the strike was

Raleigh, July 9.-The new wage

Progress Administration in North

l and which is based on the "pre-
vailing wage" being paid by private
industry in the various parts of the
State, has just been made public by
George w. Coan, ia, State WPA ad-
ministrator. The new schedule does
not mean, however, that WPA work
ers will be paid much, if. any, more
than they have received under the
cid security wage" plan, since the
workers will be limited in the num-
Der of hours a month they will be
permitted to work so that their total
monthly pay will not exceed the old
security wage" for their particular
classification.
Thus while the WPA workers will
be paid at higher rate per hour and
on an hourly instead of monthly basis,
about the only way they will gain will
be that in most cases they will work
fewer hours for the same pay, Coan

Judgment on the defiant faction in its
drive to organize steel employees into

The federation's executive council
had summoned Lewis and his asso-

ed to answer charges that it flouted
federation policy by trying to organ
ize the 100000 steel workers into one
bic industrial union instead of into
several unions divided according to
craft
Grttng his teeth, Lewis told re-
pcrters that he would not be present;
he said the council knew where he
stood None of the representatives OF
II unions associated with him in
purhng the steel drive showed any
intention of complying with the exc
