(Continued from Page One.) ings dumped into the gutter in front of the place where had been home. "For two families the eviction was a grave matter. Illness failed to stay the hand of the officers, although the order provides for special consideration of those families thus afflicted. "The families of Henry Tetherow and J. A. Valentine were evicted, strikers said, contrary to orders of Magistrate Bismark Capps, who signed the eviction writ. Valentine s 4-year-old daughter was said to be seriously ill with smallpox, against which this state has no quarantine laws.” Strike Is Settled Well, then, there were the Marlon strikers and their families, who, without having to work, were receiving enough food to keep from absolutely starving, who had $lO a month houses and such old clothes as people happened to give them. With such luxury as this, probably foreigners would have gone on loafing forever. But these strikers were authentic 100 per cent Americans and they want to get back to work. So on Sept. 10 the strike was settled on this basis: The hours were to be reduced to fifty-five hours a week; wages were to be increased at the pleasure of ihe Marion Manufacturing Company and since then they have complied honorably with this by increasing wages 5 per cent, which must be a tremendous help to a man making less than sl3 a week—and there was to be no discrimination against men who at thta time belonged to the union. It is the third clause, regarding discrimination against union members, which has created trouble. Union men say that in the Marion Manufacturing Company all union members have been discriminated against. The employers say that it is just a coincidence. A telegram from John Peel, from Marion, just has come to interrupt me. It says: "Carver, one of wounded, died at noon.” That makes six, instead of five, killed by the volley of the sheriff’s deputies.

Why Not Shoot All? I saw Carver in the hospital. * He was very thin and yellow; he looked under-nourished; he was very courteous to me, a stranger. He is dead now. He is one problem that we need not solve in Marion. Isn’t it unfortunate that the nimble guns of the sheriff’s deputies did not get all of those misplaced 600 who work for the Marion Manufacturing Company? Then, like Mr. Carver, they w r ould none of them have any more problems. To continue where I left off when the telegram came in, the employers at the Marion Manufacturing Company say that it is just a coincidence that they have not rehired the men who were most prominent in union affairs—that it is because these men have proved, upon scientific investigation of their careers, not to be so brilliant as a millworker ought to be if you are going to force a salary of sl3 a week upon him. Whichever of these sides is right, there arose discontent among the workers who had not been taken back into the mills. So Bill Ross, left in charge of the strike for the U. T. W„ planned to call a strike in the Marion Manufacturing Company, presumably with the thought of a later strike in the Clinchfield mills. Sheriff Is Cailed The date of the calling of the strike was vaguely set for Oct. 2, because Mr. Baldwin, president of the Marion Manufacturing Company. had been called away and the strikers, 1° their inconsiderate w ay, waited until he returned. They wanted to see if he would not rather settle the whole business instead of having another pocket edition of hell on earth. But on Oct. 1, the superintendent of the mill, Adam Hunt ; worried bv the rumors of trouble, called in SKS They are wen defined. An achy aenaation,aneesing; cold, chilly feeling, headache.

Sheriff Adkins, who brought with him some eleven deputies. Accounts differ enormously as to what happened in the mill that night. There Is an assertion, current In Marion, that the sheriff and his men drank too much com liquor. I have seen the sheriff's men. I do not believe that they needed corn liquor courage. There also is discrepancy regarding what Incitement was given that night to the workers to start trouble in the morning. One version has it that the mill foreman so taunted the workers, so badgered them and told them that they dared not quit, that, without any orders whatever from the malign, "foreign” laborleaders with Bolshevik names like John Peel, they began to walk out voluntarily at 1 o’clock In the morning. Workers There Early The day force at the Marion mill goes on at 7. It is a very curious thing that the workers—despite the charm of their company-owned houses—usually get to their work long before the whistle blows. I have seen them do so, at noon. It may be quite true that from 6 to 7 on the morning of Oct. 2, the crowd of mill workers gathered early for a wicked purpose. But whether they were wicked or good, whether they inclined to the Bolsheviks or the Rotarians, there they were at 6:45 in the morning. You had there a brick building, not particularly large, employing only 600 men, with decent grassy yard in front of it; you had a narrow road, and across from it, the building which combines the company office, the postoffice and the company store. What happened then is a case for the sovereign state of North Carolina to decide. I have sat for hour after hour in the courtroom, at the feet of Judge Harding, trying to make out from the witnesses of both sides just what did occur. I have heard somewhat conflicting testimony. I have heard that Sheriff Adkins shot down two men; and I have heard that he never even had his pistol loose from its holster. Tear Gas Thrown I have heard that the crowd of strikers were an angry and heavily armed mob, with sticks and revolvers, and I have heard that there wasn't a single gun among them. But so much is certain. The superintendent of the mills, Mr. Hunt, gave an invitation to all the strikers who wished to work to enter the mill. From the strikers there were catcalls and curses. Tear gas was thrown by Sheriff Adkins and his men. Then the shooting started. There is great difference in the testimony of the sheriff’s men and in that of the strikers as to who started the shooting. The forces of law and

! order—naturally, I mean to say the (forces of the sheriff and the millowners—say that the shooting started from the middle of the road, from amidst the force of the strikers, and that the sheriff and his eleven deputies, faced with a murderous mob, had to shoot in return. On the other side, the disconcemed elements insist that there were no guns and very few clubs among the strikers. They point out that among the eleven deputies and the sheriff, the only Injury was a scratch on the cheek of one of the deputies, whereas among the workingmen there were four—then it was five, and now, since the telegram of Carver It has become six —who were killed and more than twenty wounded. And probably far more than twenty were wounded. Boy Is Wounded I know a boy who ran home with just a skin wound which neither he nor his widowed mother dared report to the officials, lest they get into the mess. To an outsider it would seem improbable that, If the strikers had been armed, none of the deputies would have been killed. This shooting of twenty-five or thirty workmen brought the whole affair to a temporary end, and the strikers are now seeking for justice from— Where do you get Justice?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SHEPPARD WILL KEEP FIGHTING LIQUORBUYERS Author of Dry Amendment Remains Undeterred by Opposition. By Scrippi-H award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Opposition of certain dry leaders only will make him fight more strongly to make the purchaser of liquor equally guilty wtih the seller, Senator Sheppard indicated today, Sheppard said it was his purpose to see that the purpose of the eightee/um amendment, of which he is the author, is carried out—namely, to srop the use of beverage liquor in che United States. “If we are to have prohibition, let us have it,” Sheppard said. He added that the time had come to extend the prosecution of liquor offenders to the purchaser, which is only indirectly provided in the Volstead act. Sheppard said the argument of certain dry leaders that such a move was unconstitutional, did not hold water. “It is constitutional, I am certain of that,” Sheppard said. Although a Kentucky federal judge is instructing a grand jury to indict liquor buyers under Section 6 of the Volstead act, Sheppard says Section 3 of the same act ought to be brought into harmony to remove all question. Sheppard is asking the attorney-general to determine whether the judge’s course can be upheld under the present law. Sheppard believes at least half of the buyers of liquor will stop, once they are branded as law-breakers. He said the bootleg industry will receive a staggering blow and will begin to decline. "The bootleg industry must be destroyed,” Sheppard said. In some quarters it was said that

dry chieftains were dubious about making liquor law enforcement too strict and too (ar-reaching, fearing a reaction and possible repeal of the law. Have you looked over The Times classified ads lately? INSTANT RELIEF or your money back No Old Way Could Ever Do 1 his for Torpid Liver. 1 Benefits in a Day. Medical science now knows that the drugs people used to take for the liver merely irritated the intestines and produced a condition known as catharsis. This new knowledge is based on recent discoveries. For torpid liver tbe secretion from the liver of the ox—called ox-gall—is now the authentic treatment. The all-important duty of the liver is to supply the intestines with about a quart of bile each day. This bile is nature’s way of checking germ growth. V/hen it is scant germs thrive and send poisons through the blood stream. Then follow the disorders caused by impure blood. Ox-gall corrects this condition. It stimulates the liver, thus helping to increase the bile flow to normal. Yqy Don’t Risk a Penny Now ox-gall is available in pleasant tablet form. It is called Dioxol. In each Dioxol tablet there are exactly ten drops of this genuine secretion. Start taking Dioxol. Within a day you’ll be benefited. Soon you’ll feel like new. If Dioxol fails to live up to your expectations, send the. empty box to the .makers, and your money will be refunded. Get Dioxol from your druggist. And for the sake of good health start taking it today.—Advertisement.
