Wood pilfered from his company continuously from the date of its or- ation until he retired in 1924, che complaint charges in answer to a ,000,000 suit filed by the Wood es- te to save it from pa: income ssed by the fede: govern- Frameup Record. Wood is remembered in Lawrence, eat of the American Woolen Compa- fe mills, as the bitter foe of strikes in 1912 and 1918. He tried in 1912 Ettor and Arturo ke leaders, to the peni- fe. After the strike the woolen monarch was indicted for |placing dynamite among the strikers. A Lawrence undertaker swore that | Wood paid him to plant the explosive. Another man, named as co-conspira- tor, committed suicide when ‘called to testify. In 1920 he was again indict- jed for vrofiteering in wearing ap- rel, but with the aid of Charles Hughes extricated himself from the toils of the law. Use All Trickery. Nearly every piece of financial trickery known to the trade was used to Wood’s pockets. He made exorbitant profrts through privately organized companies which made con- tre with the big firm; hi: estate at Andover, Mass. was paid for and equipped by funds shadily ex- tr: ed from his firm; throughout his pr dency he charged personal ex- penses by hook or crook to the cor- | poration, The woolen baron was high in re-| |publican councils ling directorates, he was a big figure) ‘in coal, | panies, and one of Americ: a’s rulers. | Peter Heenan, minister of labor, ar- rived in.Oshawa today with the hopes j of settling the strike immediately but | he ceenfronted by a militant group | that shows no signs of giving way.

The follow- ing reasons were given for the con- solidation of the two societies: “To establish an orchestra with a sound financial backing that will guarantee the continuance of the musical traditions of the two socie- ties. “By bringing the friends of both societies into a single organization, to create a fund for the pensioning of superannuated members of the or- chestra and a sick and death benefit fund. “To undertake the erection of a new all that will serve as a suitable and ermanent home for the new orches- tra. “To enlarge the educational work and nominate presidential candi-| The conference has not as yet en- dorsed any specific candidate thus avoiding a conflict between the fol- low of a third party and the genuine Farmer Laborites who desire a trade unionist for president with a progressive farmer representative for vice-president. Resentment in the Farmer Labor Party is growing against Senator Shipstead of Minnesota who has not yet signified his intentions as regards the republicans. The Farmer Labor Party is closely following his moves and the possibility of the filing of a genuine Farmer Labor candidate against Shipstead in the primaries seems more and more probable.
