of Son and Wounding of Herself.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Mur-
der is a hardy perennial in Harlan
county, Kentucky. Saturday, April
"a, 1897, four Harlan s'mine guards"
murdered Lloyd Clouse, organizer for
the United Mine Workers, and wound
ed and beat up his brother. Jasper
Clouse.
The daily newspapers and their
press associations didn't bring this
information to Washington 1t came
in a much more roundabout way
George Titler and James S. Golden,
also union organizers in the Harlan
fields, wired the information to Will
liam Turnblazer, president of the
UNIV district which includes Harlan,
and Turnblazer sent it on to Senator
La Toilette, who read it into the rec
ord of the hearings of the civil liber-
ties committee. Hitler and Mussolini
are not the only chaps who censor the
news when and where they can.
Even before this bit Of "spot news"
arrived, the La Toilette hearings had
been gaining in dramatic quality at
each session. Marshall A. Musick,
Baptist preacher and part time coal
miner of Harlan county, who had been
on the stand before, came back to
tell of the murder of his son.
Describes Sons Death
He states the fact, said that the son
was killed because the father was a
union man and organizer; and gave
place to his wife. Twisting hand
kerchief wet with tears, Mrs. Musiek
told how her son Bennett was listen
ing to the radio about o'clock on
February when bullets began to rip
through the walls of the cabin.
Bennett jest pitched out of his
chair an kind O. crawled toward the
bedroom" she testified, smothering
her sobs as best she could. "He was
dead before | ever got to speak to
him." Splinters of door knob shat
tered by the bullets wounded the
mother in the leg and hurt younger
son. Bennett was 19 years old.
Hugh Taylor, a deputy sheriff Of
Harlan county, told on the stand that
he had been offered $100 to take part
in shooting up the Musick home. He
promised to take part in the attack
fearing that he would be killed if he
refused, but managed to have bust
ness elsewhere when the time came.
Deputies Try Murder
His fears were justified IL days
later. On the night of February 20

By A. F. of L. News Service.


Substantial wage increases for
skilled workers and laborers have
been secured for the building crafts
of Denver, Colorado, partly by sepa-
rate agreements negotiated between
the unions and the contractors and
partly by awards handed down by the
Colorado industrial commission, the
commission having acted as arbitra-
tor in cases where the contractors and
the unions could not agree.
The commission unanimously APP
proved the 7-hour day and 5-day
work week and the following wage
scales: Building laborers, Il 2-5 cents
an hour, formerly 621a cents; hod
carriers, 81 an hour, formerly 80
cents; granite cutters, S125 an hour,
formerly S1.1212; plasterers and lath-
ers, SLAB an hour, formerly $1.25;
stone cutters, SLAB an hour, formerly
$1.12A.
The following wage increases We're
negotiated by separate unions:
Bricklayers, tile settlers and shovel
operators, $150 an hour in place of
the former s1.25 an hour; carpenters,
iron workers, hosting engineers,
SLAB an hour in place of the former
$1.25 an hour; GLACIERS, S1.20 an hour
in place of the former 81 an hour.
The scale for painters remained un-
changed at $1.25 an hour.

out and reached for my own guns,
but my hands were useless. Then

Deputy Frank White, one of the
trio, fired again and the bullet struck
Taylor in the hip.
Il fell down and played dead" he
said. "They turned me over, and said
was as dead as | ever would be,
and went away"
Victim Offered Bribe
He was carried to a hospital by a
passing car, and there another dep
uty visited him and told him to move,
or they would "get" him. He was
moved to hospital in another county.
Later, he was offered $4,000 to ignore
the subpoena of the senate commit
tee, and stay hidden. He accepted the
offer; but they paid him only $62.50,
so he came down to testify.
His evidence was corroborated by
several other witnesses.

The Festival of Youth

Football is a festival of youth
On these occasions, young man
hood comes forth in all it's pride
of muscular power and alert wit,
and shows what can be done by
powerful bodies, trained muscles,
and strategic organization. The
players throw themselves into
this somewhat rough game with
defiance of all physical risks, so
that it seems little like body
of soldiers going out to capture
a trench. The applauding crowds
cheer it as an exhibition of gritty
courage and physical and mental
power
The young feminine world ex-
presses by it's fervent cheers, the
admiration which the sex feels
for strength and power. The
bright clothing of the young wo-
men, the cheerful music of the
school and college bands, make a
picture and a symphony of color
and sound. Such game becomes
a supreme expression of Ameri-
can enthusiasm and happiness
and hero worship.
The sober philosopher, digging
into the worlds wisdom ID his
library, wishes that all this en-
ergy and emotion could be trans
lated into some more practical

Hoio Mdny Are a Fea0?

In a somewhat light vein the
Christian Science Monitor once
asked and discussed the question,
"How many Are few" No con-
clusion was reached, as definate
authority which might be cited to
establish the answer.
Later correspondent in New
ark called attention to the fact
that small boy had found the
answer long ago, according to a
story which may be briefly re-
lated thus:
The boy was entitled to a few
apples" as a prize for memoriz-
ing more verses of scripture than
any other member of his Sunday
school class, whereupon the
teacher gave him three apples.
The boy demurred, asserting that
he should have eight apples.
Pressed for his authority the lad
triumphantly produced it from no
less a source than the Holy Writ
quoting Peter, third chapter, goth
verse, which says:
Few, that is, eight souls were
saved by water"
His contention being incontro-
vertible, the boy got his eight
apples. And, therefore, if any
one should ask, "a few" means
eight.

daily life weigh heavily on youth.
He constantly desires to show his
power by breaking or destroying
something, but always he runs
UP against this strict discipline
which the older world forces on
him. i.
But at Halloween, there is cele-
brated annually a kind of Decla-
ration of independence for youth.
He feels that at last he is given
free rein to work out his desires.
Not merely that, but the Hallow-
cen spirit has often seized him
days or weeks in advance of that
occasion, and on many previous
evenings he has roamed the
neighborhood, pulling door-bells
and performing tricks dear to his
heart.
The American people have
much sympathy with youth, some
times a little too much. So they
have long tolerated minor tricks
like rapping violently on window
panes, overturning porch chairs,
and rafting blinds. But when it
comes to punching holes through
window screens, and doing things
that cost real money to repair,
the adult world frequently decides
that Young America is not vet
ready for full independence
When it comes to false alarms,
bonfres that endanger property,
or other serious mischief, Young
America needs to realize that
there are limits to liberty. Some
boys have begun careers of crime
by excessive rowdyism at Hal
lowe'en.

Hardy NeeO Amino0ls

There appears to be no limit
to the ambitions of scientists, and
the amazing thing is that their
ambitions are generally fulfilled
by actual results. An instance is
the development of superior
type of COW, able to Withstand
the rigors of far northern climates
such as that of Alaska.
Concerning this development
DR. Evans of the Department of
Agriculture recently gave an in
teresting statement. Under the
supervision of the department,
experimental crossing of Gallo
way COWS with the hardy Asiatic
yak has produced an animal cap
able of subsisting on the scanty
vegetation of the far north, while
preserving desirable meat and
milk producing qualities.
Another venture was the cross
ing of American COWS with the
Brahman zebu of the Far East,
which produced an animal es-
pecially fitted to thrive in the hot
states. This animal is also able
to resist tick infection which is
very detrimental to ordinary cat
tie in those regions.
All this may not be exactly
evolution, but it is something
closely akin to it.

Falling Leaves

The thought of the leaves fall
ing from the trees. has always i'm
ressed imaginative people as a
saddening one. Wrote Bryant,
the poet: "The melancholy days
are come, the saddest of the
year" The dropping one by one
of the mellowing and fading
leaves, impresses such folks as
comparable to the end of human
life.
The tree drops its leaves, be-
cause it has no further use for
them. But the tree still lives on.
1t absorbes into it's fibre the
nourishment it has received thru
leaves and roots. BY and by it
will spring forth again with new
leaves.
And the leaves are not lost.
They descend into earth, enrich
the soil, and in due time will
blossom forth into other leaves.
There is nothing lost in this won
derful earth. Everything is util-
lied. So it will be with the hui
man spirit When it falls off the
tree of life, it will enter into
other forms of existence. and
blossom forth more gloriously.

state of society we should have!"
But we can't put the wisdom of
80 years into the heart of 20. If
the young folks had all the sage
ness of age, they would probably
be satisfied to accept the world
as it is, and let it wag on it's
weary way in the old rut.
Let us be glad that youth is so
happy at its own football festival,
and thankful that it is paying its
alteration to real and honest
achievement, instead of to the
false pretenses and sickly vices

Professors have kept ahead of

that few products in history have
