Turks Have No Organized Veterans Of the two former enemy coun- tries which will not be present, Hungary has refused to take part until the Treaty of Trianon is re- vised and territorial adjustments made, while the Turks are not un- : fifendly to the idea but have no : organization of veterans to repre sent them, Although Soviet Russia has not at the London convention of Fidac in October, A mixed commission has been set up charged with the duty of organizing the Luzem- bourg Congress, Of particular interest is the fact that the eight largest German vet- erans' organizations wholehearted- ly endorsed the congress, Four Na» tionalist groups however refused to come in, giving as their reasons the Treaty of Versailles, the pres- ence of Allied troops in the Rhine- land and the Dawes plan. One group went so far as to say it would not join unless the Allled veterans go on record that the war was every one's fault and not that of Germany, particularly Among the German organiza. tions adhering are the Young Ger- man Order, the Association of Ger man War Prisoners, the Associa- tion of German War Blind and as- sociations of Germans of the Sarre, The Australian and Bulgarian organizations will be fully repre- sented, The Luxembourg Congress will divide into four commissions, The firs: will deal with the preserva- tion of peace and will search for meaus of eliminating international friction, The second will discuss education and propaganda and means of letting youth know the horrors of war, The third will deal with the victims of war, including legislation to assist disabled vet- erans. The fourth will take up the question of war prisoners, The latter presents 'peculiar problems, including the investiga- tion of persistent reports that cer. tain unfortunates are still held in captivity in Siberia, the identifica. tion of the graves of thousands of war prisoners who were buried in allied or former enemy territory and the question of the pay lost hy soldiers during the long terms of imprisonment in enemy countries, FIRE IN CALGARY DESTROYS WHOLE BLOCK Calgary, Alta, April 11.--Burn- ing fiercely under the icy hlast of a 28-mile north wind, fire today ! fought on the side of the Allies under the Czarist regime will take destroyed the Elma Block, Eighth Avenue east, in the heart of the husiness section, fHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1928 Rheumatism Completely Relieved by "Fruit-a-tives" MR.

W. D. J. BROWN PHONE 18 the Old House CHAPTER XXVIII THE MOB AND THE MILL On the morning following the #ay of the funeral scarcely half of the usual force of workmen appear- ed at the Mill. The men who did choose to work were forced to pass a picket Mne of strikers who with jeers and threats and argu- ments sought to turn them from their purpose, The death of Captain Charlie, by defining more clearly the two lines of pubile sentiment, had increas- ed Jake Vodell's strength mater ially, but the Mill workers' union had not yet officially declared for the sympathetic strike that would deliver the eommunity wholly into the hands of the agitator, The Mill men, who were still opposed to Jake Vodell's leadership and coolly refused to hold the employ- ers guilty of the death of Captain Charlie upon the mere unsupport- ed assertions of the strike leader, were therefore free to continue their work, This action of the members of the Mill workers' uniaa who were loyal to John, however, quite naturally increased the feel- ing of their comrades who had ac- cepted Vodell's version of the mur- der. Thus, the final crisis of the industrial battle centred about the Mill, Every hour that John Ward could keep the Mill running lessen- ed Vodell's chances of final victory, The strike leader knew that If these days immediately following Captain Charlie's death passed without closing the mill, his cause was lost, The workmen were now aroused to the highest pitch of excitement, The agitator realized that if they we:e not committed by some action to his cause before the fever of their madness began to abate, his followers would, day by day, in ever Increasing numbers go back to work under John, The suc- cessful operation of the Mill was a jemonstraiion to the public that Vodell's campaign against the ens- ployers was not endorsed oy the better and stronger element of employees. To the mind of the strike leader a counter demonstra- To that im- now bent tion was imperative, mediate end the man svery effort, All day the members of thc agitator's inner circle were active. When evening came, a small com- pany of men gathered in a vacant store building not far from the Mill, There was little talk among them, When one did speak 't was to utter a mere commonplace or nerhaps to greet some neweomer, They were as men who meet at a riven place by agreement to carry ut some definite and carefully laid lan, Moment hy moment the com- ny grew in numbers until the thering assumed such propor- ns that it overflowed the build- » and filled the street. And now, ttered through the steadily wing erowd, the members of t inner circle were h»-v with "ortations and arguments pre- r'n%z the 'workmen for what was )» follow. Presently from the direction of he strike headquarters came an- )ther company with Jake Vodeli nimself in their midst, These had assembled at the strike headquar- ters, Without pausing they swept on down the street toward the Mill, taking with them the crow Scarcely had front of the large main building when they were joined by still an- other crowd thet had been gather: ing In the neighborhood of Me- Iver's factory, Thus, with startling suddenness, a great company of workmen was assembled at the Mill, But a large part of that com- pany had yet to be molded to Vodell's purpose. Many had gone to the designated places in response to the simple announcement that a labor meeting would be held there. Only those of the agitator's trusted inner eircle had known of the plan to unite these smaller gatherings in one great mass meet- ing. Only these chosen few knew the real purpose of that meeting. There were hundreds of workmen in that throng who were opposel to Vodell and Ms methods, but they were unorganized, with no knowledge of the strike leader's plans. And so it had been easy for the members of that inner circle to lead these separate smaller gather- ings to the larger assembly in front of the Mill, . To accomplish the full purpose of his demonstration against the employer class, the strike leader must make it appear to the public as the united action of the work. Ing people of Millsburgh. The re- quirements of his profession made Jake Vodell a master of mob psychology. With the leaven of his chosen inner circle and the temper of the many strikers whose nerves were already strained to the breaking point by their weeks of privation, the agitator was con- fident that he could bend the as- sembled #pultitude to his will, Those who were opposed to bis leadership and to his methods-- disorganized and taken by surprise as they were--would be helpless. At the same time their presence in the mob would appear to give their sanction and support to what- ever was accomplished. Quickly word of the gathering spread throughout the community. From every direction--from the Flats, from the neighborhood of the Martin home--and from the more distant parts of the eity-- men were moving toward the Mill. With every moment the crowd in- rreased in size. Everywhere among the mass of men Vodell's helpers were busy. A block away an automobile stopped at the curb in front of a deserted house. A man left the car, and, keeping well out of the light from the street lamps, walk- ed swiftly to the outskirts of the mob. With his face hidden by the they reached the BELL WRIGHT, turned-up collar of his overcoat and the brim of his hat pulled low, he moved here and there in the thin edge of the multitude, The agitator, standing ow ai goods box on the street opposite the big door. of the main Mill building, be..n his address, As one man, the hundreds of assem- bled workmen turned toward the leader of the strike. A hush fell over them. But there was one in that great crowd to whom the words of Jake Vodell meant moth- ing. Silent Billy Rand, pushing his way through the press of men, searched face after face wiin sim- ple, untiring purpose. A squad of police arrived. Vodell, calling attention to them, face- tiously invited the guardians of the law to a seat of honor on the rostrum, The crowd laughea. At that moment Billy Rana saught sight of the face he was seeking. When the Interpreter's messenger grasped his arm, the man, who was standing well baex with fear, Billy thrust the note In« to his hand. As he read the mea sage he shook so that the paper rattled in his fingers. Helplessly he looked about, He seemed paralyzed with horror. Again Billy Rand grasped his arm and this time drew him aside, out of the crowd, Helpless and shaken, the man made no effort to resist, as the Interpreter's deaf and dumb ecom- panion hurried him away down the street, At the foot of the zigzag stalr- way Billy's charge sank down on the lower step, as if he fiad wn strength to go on, Without 3 mo- ment's pause Billy lifted him to his feet and almost carried him up the stairs and Into the hut to place him, cowering and whimpering, be- fore the man in the wheel chair. John and Helen had gone to the Martin cottage that evening to spend an hour with the old work: man and his daughter, They haa just arrived when the telephone rang. It was the watchman at the Mil, He had called John at the Ward home, and Mrs. Ward had direct: rd him to call the cottage. Tn a few words John told the oti, .3 of the erowd at the Mill, He must go at once, "But not alone, boy," sald Peter Martin. "This is po more your job than 'tis mine." As they were leaving, John said hurriedly to Helen, "Telephone Tom to come for you at once and take Mary home with you, Mother may need you, and Mary must pot be left here alone, I'll bring Uncle Pete home with me." A moment later the old work- man and the general manager, In John's roadster, were on thew way to the Mill, When Tom arrived at the cottare with Helen's car the two young wo- men were ready, They were enter- ing the automobile when Billy Rand appeared. It was evident from his laboring breathing that he had been running, but his face betrayed no excitement, With a pleased smile, as one who would say, "Luckily I.got here just In time," he handed a folded paper to Mary, By 'the light of the automobile lamp she read the Interpreter's message aloud to Helen: "Telephone John to come to me at once with a big car. If you can't got John tell Helen." For an Instant they looked at each other questioningly. Then Helen spoke to the chauffeur. "To the Interpreter's, Tom." - She In- dicated to Billy Rand that he was to go with them, It was not Jake Vodell"s pur. pose to call openly in his addres: to the assembled workmen for av attack on the Mill. Such a de monstrat against the employer class was (deed the purpose of the gathering, but it must come as th: spontaneous outburst from the mer themselves, His speech was plan ped merely to lay the kindling for the fire, "The actual lighting of the blaze would follow later, The con flagration, too, would -be started simultaneously from so many dif ferent points in the erowd that n one individual could be singled ou as having incited the riot. The agitator was still speaking when John and Peter Martin arrly- ed on the scene. Quietly and care- fully John drove through the out skirts of the crowd to a point close to the wall and pot far from the main door of the building, nearly opposite the speaker, Stopping the motor the two men sat in the car listening to Vodell's address. (To be continued.) WORTH REMEMBERING The small red spot on the side of balloon or semi-balloon tires is to bring the tire in balance when placed on the rim, The extra weight of the valve stem throws the tires so far out of balance as to cause the shimmy effect. When tires are produced, this weight is compensated for by added weight at ome point in the casing, and the red dot shows the lightest side where the valve should be placed to bring the tire in balance. When- ever a tire is changed, gee that the valye stem fs placed opposite the red spot. i CONDITIONING SPRINGS The best way to condition springs 1s to tighten dowp the spring fasteners at the axle con- nections.
