Ith a mob of several hundred

many townspeople came to the excus

was to be a lynching bee. Quite a
number followed the mob as It made
Us way to Round-up Park, but. In
stead of seeing the victim strung up
to a tree or telephone pole, they saw
him undressed, cast into a pool of wa

bathe.
The victim Is a well" known charac

appearance. His uncleanllness be
came so obnoxious to a number of
young men that they organized the
ciean-up mob last evening. It took
maneuvering for about an hour before
the quarry could be landed. He re
mained inside of a eating house for
some time but at last was nabbed as
he come out. The crowd hustled him
down Main to Court and was start
ing down Court with him when Offi

uwratea the victim.
Aoout 15 minutes later, however,
the mob again made a captive of the

couple of hundred on foot, the auto
cnugged its way to Round-up Park.
The swimming pool was empty but
the concrete basin which receives the
water as It pours Into the park was
full to overflowing. Taking off the
nan's garments, the leaders of the
mob cast him Into the waters where
he stood in a September morn nose
shivering ln the cool July night. Soap
nas passed to him and he was told
to rub and scrub. Relieved that he
was not to be lynched, the man fell
to his task with a will and his body
received a thorough scrubbing before
his supervisors gave the word fori
him to emerge.
The mob declares that this Incident!
should be taken as a warning by all
slovenly persons in the city.

workingmen are now shedding their
oiooa in ne trenches to save the na
tion. But when this conflict is over
they will say to the government, 'We
want no more wars the things which
make them possible must be wiped
out.' "
This was the statement of Ramsey
McDonald, noted labor leader, in dis
cussing the present labor situation in
England. McDonald scoffed at the
possibility of labor fighting conscrip
tion. He said conscription will be op
posed by argument but that there will
be no violence should the workers be
overruled.
"Labor realizes the government is
In difficulty and must be helped
out. ' said McDonald. "This means
industrial grievances will be over
looked, and strikes postponed until
after the war."
