Things we never knew until now-R. D. Russell, owner of the Mems store, has been arrest ed only once. The charge-bank robbery. But he didn't done it. It was in the 2O's, as he was selling adding machines and check protectors, etc., in a terri tory in the wilds of Utah.
 He arrived in a small town, met the banker and made a date for the next day, and went to bed in his hotel room about a block from the bank.
 During the night the entire door of the vault was blown from the bank but no one heard it. It was not discovered until the next morning.
 The first MT. Russell knew a. bout 1t was when a knock came on his door and he opened it to ] find a delegation of irate citizens, armed with pitchforks, shotguns and revolvers, menacingly group ed in the hall.
 1 They escorted him to the bast- file and threw him in jail and while his credentials and luggage and story were being checked, | farmers came into town to take a look at hlm. MT. Russell had made the mistake of being the only stranger in town.
 Of course his alibi checked and you can't bold even a salesman in jail without evidence, so MT. Russell was released. The next day the gang that did rob the bank was caught and all subse- quently went to the penitenti-

 You see, we got 9 request from a prospective advertiser in Mexico City, DE-, with ad copy enclosed, asking us how much sad ad would be.
 It came to $3.60, so we wrote saying so, and. then out of pure spite, we put "$3.6O, in Alaska funds"
 We couldn't resist it, even fl we're cutting off an ad to spite our space.

 MT. Silverwood said that next year he was going to try to get more people interested in joining in the project. We suggest he spread a few more samples a. round-if they are as good as those we had a lot more persons should become interested in a policy of a-peas-ment.

MT. Russell went to Alaska.

Sometime ago we had g very embarrassing experience while interviewing a bear hunter. re- turning in all his glory from successful bear expedition.
 We met the gentleman on the main street, accompanied by his young son, who had been on the trip also.
 After a few questions we came to the critical query, "How big was your bear?'
 "EIeven feet, 8 inches" he re- piled.
 Junior snapped to attention "Why, daddy" he said, Tt was only g feet"
 "Whatever makes you say such thihg?" father asked of Junior. "You know it was li feet, 3 inches" /" Father then ignored Junior and went on with details of his trip for several fast sentences. But Junior was not to be squelehed. As scon as father stopped for a breath, Junior spoke up: But we measured 1t, he said slowly and carefully, land it was g feet long"
 q don't know why he keeps saying that father explained to US, red in the face, "it was II feet, 3 inches"
 When the story appeared iR the paper it didn't say how big the bear was. And we learned Ia ter where the l1-3 business came from. This hunter knew that another hunter had told us 1 his own bear was 10 feet 3, and this hunter knew the other hunt er's bear wasn't that big, so he figured hls bear was a foot bigger than the other hunters bear so he added foot to the other hunters figure.
 ] But the other hunter didn't have any Junior along.

USES Officials Encourage
Strikebreuking, UE Churqes

New York-(FP). - Officials of
the U. S. Employment Service are try
ing to intimidate war veterans on
strike against General Electric, West
inghouse and General Motors electri-
cal division into becoming strikebreak-
ers, the Natl. Veterans Welfare Com
mittee of United Electrical Radio q
Machine Workers charged in a letter
to congressional leaders Jan. II.
According to reports received from
such communities as Schenectady, N.
Y, and Pittsburgh where large num-
bers of UE workers are on strike"
the letter said, "USES officials are
providing anti-union council to veter-
ans who come from unemployment
benefits. USES officials have been
reported in a large number of cases
telling UE veterans on strike that
the only way they can receive unem-
ployment benefits is by deserting the
union and becoming in effect strike
breakers"
Day before in a test case brought
by veteran in Flint, Mich, Veterans
Administrators Omar N. Bradley ruled
that the CT bill of rights barred vet
Grams involved in strike action from
getting unemployment compensation.
The UE committee called on con-
gressional leaders to drop this eds
criminatory" provision 'in all fair
ness to war veterans who may
be on strike to better their living
conditions"
AS the strike of 100000 UE work
ers ended its third solid day, Pres.

Strike Ends As
Plumbers Win
Increased Pay

New York City-QLNS).-A new
.greement, under which the workers
ION wage and other concessions, ended
4 9-week strike of 4,CC0 Manhattan
md Bronx plumbers.
Joseph F. Heck, president of the
Association Of Contracting Plumbers
said that the new agreement pro-
vides wage of SIC for straight Z
hour day on a 5-day-week basis. He
explained that the employers made a
concession in agreeing to pay his daily
wage. Previously the daily wage for
Z hours was $14.5O, with the seventh
hour representing overtime.
A concession was made by the union
in the length of the work day, Heck
continued. 1t had been holding out for
6-hour day, the accepted plumbers
basic work day before the war. The
association, he reported, met union
demand for establishment of well
fare fund to be supported by manage
ment on the basis of levy of per-
cent on the gross payroll.
At the office of William T. Dodd,
president of the local, United Asso-
citation of Journeymen Plumbers and
Steamfitters, it was said the union
had won also concessions on the set
ting up of an apprenticeship system,
the supplying of tools by management
and a provision that all pipe used to
be cut by union labor, instead of per-
mitting supplies to be cut by non
union men as heretofore.

Petrillo Defends
Musiciuns' Stund

Chicago ILNS). President
James c. Petrillo of the American
Federation of Musicians declared here
that the union was trying to prevent
the importation of foreign musicians
by the organizations ruling that radio
stations in this country must ban pro-
grams originating abroad, except in
Canada.
In an address at the annual party
Of Local 10, blind musicians and Local
208, colored musicians, Petrillo said:
"There's the tariff. The manufac-
turers lobby to keep cheap material
out of the country. There's the immi-
grafton law. The government, every
body, protects themselves against
cheap labor. Why should we be ex-
empt?
"You know what happened to Swiss
watches. They stopped some from
coming into the country. We're trying
to see that foreign musicians, in per-
son or by air, don't get our jobs"
President Petrillo recalled the fight
over recordings as another bitter bat
tie for the American Federation OF
Musicians.
"The President wired me on that
one" he said. "The wire said, Your
loss would be the country's gain
said, if that were true, it would be
granted But it would be gain for
only few manufacturers. We won
that one.
"I'll tell you where a lot of these
bangs | get come in. There are 800
radio stations, 800 owned by the
press. Every time you make a move
against radio, the press mot all of it,
thought goes for you. You won't hear
any musicians saying anything
against me-"
AS to the future of the union, he
said:
at looks good. The fact they go
out on strike in the recording matter
for 27 months without anyone draw
ing string across violin shows it's
strong organization. That cost some
of the big band leaders 100000 and
they did not squawk."

Going back to the early days at the
trade the Brotherhood chief recalled
that his first job in the pottery was

job happened to be none other thar
Mr.. Green. He related the friendship
that existed between Brother Green
and himself over the years and the
high admiration he held for the type
Of men like James Green. ''He entered
the trade when the ging was tough
he stated, "and never once during the
years that has passed since those early
days has he ever remembered Jim
Green to fall down on any task he
was called upon to perform. II is men
of his calibre that has made the or
ganization what it is today"
Adding a patriotic touch to his re-
marks, he called upon the men and
women of the Brotherhood who have
served their country in the armed SER
vices, and are now returning to their
former jobs, "to follow the example
as set by Mr.. Green and others in
their devotion to the policies as prac-
ticed by the National Brotherhood of

maintain democracy at home will be
as successful as your fight on foreign
shores"

LOS ANGELES COPS TEARCAS.
CLUB electrical WORKERS

Los Angeles (FP).- Brandshing
nightsticks and firing teargas shells,
a 100-man police squad charged into
an orderly picketline in front of the
strikebound U. S. Motors Inc, plant
here Jan. II. More than a score of
the workers were injured and %, in
cluding five women, were arrested on
charges of rioting.
About thousand pickets were
gathered at the gates of the plant,
struck by United Electrical Radio e.
Machine Workers for higher wages,
after the union decided to challenge
a court order limiting the number Of
pickets to four at each gate. Swelling
the mass picketline were strikers from
the nearby General Motors plant, shut
down in separate UE wage action.
Shortly after s a. m. police showed
up to escort a small group of office
workers into the plant. A police officer
began reading the text of the court
order to the pickets but they drowned
out his words with boos and chanted
Solidarity Forever.
There was a pause while police of
ficers consulted each other and then
the squad of police wearing helmets
and gas masks, started across the
street. As they advanced the voices of
two union officials rang out from the
mass of pickets. Hold that line" they
warned.
Both men were grabbed by police
and hustled into black maria. The
teargas squad fired some so shells into
the crowd while other cops went to
work on the pickets with their clubs.
AS the gas fumes began choking the
workers the crowd scattered. Some
strikers picked the shells off the
ground and began flinging them back
at the cops.
BY the end of the half-hour battle
25 strikers had been arrested and
dozens of others were left with bloody
noses, bruises and nausea brought on
by the gas. Only the court-allowed
four pickets remained on duty at each
gate after the assault.
Union officials issued statement,
charging that the police attack was
deliberate and premeditated." Pic
kets had fore-taste of police vio
lence four days earlier at the same
place when cops pushed about rs Of
flee workers through the picket bloc
kade.
As the flying wedge of bluecoats
hit the line, one of the police called:
"This is it, let's gow and police clubs
began to swing. Seven or eight pic
kets were hit on the head, number
were poked in the stomach with clubs
and one girl was hospitalized with
head injuries.
"1'm just waiting for you to start
said one of the cops to
a vet in uniform who protested po-
lice club being poked at him. Follow
ing day the company obtained its court
order limiting the number of pickets.
