22 ARGENTIES FORM ANTRRED LEAGLE Business ‘Supports Move Which Causes Governmient to Modify Labor Support. By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, Jeiv 30.—Like the Fascisti_of Italy, the Argentine Pa- triotic League, a semi-military or- Ranization, has undertaken the task of putting down the anarchists, com- munists and the extremist elements generally of Argentins, particularly in Buenos Alres. The, league's first attempt has re- sulted in what its leaders declare an unqualified success. The league was backed by virtuaily the entire busi- ness interests of the capital, which had become tired of unpatriotic manifes- tations by communists. labor unions, what they considered to be causeless strikes and sabotage, the flaunting of red flags, bomb outrages, and more particularly by the demoralization of commerce caused by a strike of a communiet union of stevedores which had tied up the port for two weeks. The seemingly benevolent attitude of the government toward what trey held to be the unwarranted demands of the union had tried their patience and they were determined to take matters in their own hands to the point of armed intervention, if neces- sary. Today several score of the extermlist element, including numerous agitators of foreign birth, are in jail, some in the hospitul, several hundred others have been under arrest, a general strike called as a protest against the strong-handed activities of the Patrio- tic League has fallen to pieces, and the port services have been released from the heretofore almost complete control of the stavedores' union. The government's policy of leniency toward many of the activities of radical syndicalism, to which the in- terests behind the league objected, changed almost overnight to one of stern suppression of any attempt to deny the right of free labor to work or to upset the peace of the country. ‘What the Patriotic League set out to do_the government did itself. The conflict centered upon the issue | whether the government would give DProtection to non-union truckmen, to Wwhom the members of the stevedores' union refused to deliver the goods they unloaded from the ships.

Its general use and close observa- tion are dependent principally on the extremes of the wekther, at which time it comes in an hourly and daily service. The true history of the origin of Fahrenheit’s thermometer has long been a subject of scientific cussion. Yet for two hundred y or more {t has borne the name the German physicist, who, it is sald, made the necessary changes in its construction from Sir Isaac Newton's basic idea and original conception for an instrument of its character to measure heat. Sir Samuel Wilks, writing to Knowledge some years ago, gave the history of the origin of Fahren: heit’s thermometer, which is erally used in this county. Some writers claim that Galileo’s con- ception of the instrument, and per- fected by his puplls after his death, antedate both Newton's and Fah- renheit'’s work to perfect a ther- mometer for everyday use. Others contend that it was really invented by Newton, and the start- ing point of his seale was the heat of the human body. Newton's paper is found in the Philosophical Trans- actions for the year 1701, in which he describes his instrument as a glass tube flled with linseed oil and to it he attached a scale to measure the degree of heat of the liquid into which he plunged it. His lowest point was that of freea- ing, as his highest was that of boiling water. He took for his starting point on his scale the heat of the hu- man body, and this he called by the round number 12. the duodec- imal system ing then in use— that is, he di¥ided the space be- tween the freesing point &nd the temperature of the body into twelve parts. He further stated that the boiling point would be about 30, as it was arly three times that of the human body. A few years afterward, when this point the Argentine Patriotic League was backed up by the Labor Protective Association and the Centro de Navegacion, an association of steamship agents representing the overseas steamship lines of foreign nationality. The refusal of the stevedores’ union to deliver any goods to non-union truckmen was aimed at a so-called “outcast” union of truckmen.

TWO KILLED IN PLANE. DENVER, Colo., August 1.—While hundreds of spectators looked on at an air carnival here, Pilot Ross E. Poland, thirty, of Cameron, Mo., and George 'W. Linger, sixty-one, prominent Denver automobile man, were almost instantly killed when their plane crashed scarcely fifteen feet, nose first, to the ground at the take-off of an air derby. The heavy motor was thrown back against the bodies of the pilot and Linger, who was acting as one of the judges of the race. The other pilots, not noticing the continued the race, which CITIZENS FINANCE AUDIT. Special Dispatch to The Star. STAUNTON, Va., August 1.—E. B.
