SINCE THE WAR ENDED JACKSON, MICH.—“Herbert Craw- ford, International Association of Machinists’ organizer, was taken from his hotel in this city and tarred and feathered. The mob was led by a uni- formed sergeant of the Michigan state constabulary. into the room of a traveling man, who was assaulted somewhat less severely. The reason for this is that the mob thought they had hold of another ma- chinists’ organizer.” In the same week a League organ- izer got similar treatment at Kent, Wash. Where is the Henry Dub who thought mob outrages were committed by patriots anxious for the safety of their country? : MAKES FORDS START EASY A new Gas Generator, which heats the manifold, vaporizes the gas and makes instant. ignition possible has been invented by the Bear Mfg.

For this purpose the convention secured the services of an independent firm of auditors, who made a detailed report of financial matters. Members of the committee took up various items of receipts and expenditure and traced them down. The officers of the League turned over to the service of the con- vention the entire staff of League ac- countants and auditors, who produced all the records and gave the conven- tion every assistance in getting to the bottom of all items which the conven- tion or any of its members desired to look into. - When the auditing of the League books was completed, the con- vention appointed a -resolutions com- mittee, which drew up resolutions out- lining the League’s attitude on after- the-war reconstruction policies and other matters of importance to League members and to the public. An ac- count of the resolutions adopted will appear in next week’s Leader: It is impossible for the Nonpartisan Leader to cover all the activities of the convention in this issue, but all de- tails will be reported in subsequent issues. Delegates who answered to the roll- call on the opening session of the con- vention numbered 45. In several in- stances state managers were present at the convention, but all the delegates were members of the various farmer state committees of the League, or men selected by the various farmer state committees to represent them in the national gathering.
