WHAT'S BEHIND MUTILATION
OF SCAB SEAMAN FRAZER

sympathizers with the striking
seamen on the chain of lakes will
read with interest the following con-
tribution to the Coast Seamen's
Journal by w. H. Jenkins, of Con-
neaut Ohio.
the nail plumb on the head in his
diagnosis of the motives behind the
mutilation of Lake Carriers tool
on the lower lakes last week. The
hue and cry raised by the subsidized
sheets that printed the story in scare
heads shows which way the wind
blows.
Here is Jenkins deduction:
The Cleveland Plaindealer, a paper
VIGOROUSLY unfair to the striking sea-
men, in its issue of July i, gives
front-page space to story that Mr..
Coulby, of the Pittsburg Steamship
company, had received through the
mails, the blood-covered ear Of the
scab sailor, who is alleged to have
been mutilated at Buffalo several
days previously. together with a
threat to treat Mr.. Coulby's heart the
same way. For two years and six
months the seamen of the lake dis
trict have fought a clean fight
against the powerful union busting
Steel corporation. During this time
hired thugs have shot down union
Aels-1nurdered them in cold
plood. The Plaindealer has approved.
Every effort has been made by scab
shipping masters to entice the strik
ing seamen into unlawful riots and
complaint after complaint has been
looged. IN police stations that the
strikers were interfering with the
scabs. All without avail.
Inc striking seamen have proved
every day that they are peaceful and
la"-abldlng. This did not suit tho
union busters. Some crime must ha
COMMITTED and laid to union strikers
e'i'ethlne that would cause indtgna-
'ion on the part of the public, and
take away the sympathy which is
steadily going in favor of the sea-
men. So-well, it happened, and not
much attention was paid to it. There
fore the ear is reported to have been
sent through the mails. and the po-
lice in all the Lake Erie towns be-
gan arresting union pickets. Who
profits? The vessel-owning union
busters. What other course was open
to them? The union, men would
give them no hold, so the chances
are big they did the work them
selves.
If I.were looking for the men who
mailed that ear to Coulby (if it was
mailedD, would look on the pay
roll Of the Lake Carriers association
They are easily capable of it; our
members are not. We know their
methods. Have we forgotten the
cold-blooded murders of Comrades
Richard Brown and William Woods,
at Cleveland, last July? Have we
forgotten the unprovoked murders
of our two comrades last summer at
Buffalo? Have we forgotten the tes-
timony given by the three Italians
In the police court in Escanaba in
May, 1909, in which they testified
that the shipping master gave them
guns at Lorain and told them to
shoot any union man who approach

RUSSIA SAYS SHE OWNS
BEST LABOR LAWS GOING

: Russia, having been denounced all
over the world as the worst oppres-
sor of the working people, now
comes forward with the Unique claim
that she has the best labor laws in
the world.
Russia declares that "pluck-me"
stores cannot exist in the. country; as
they do in America, for example.
Employers are compelled to pay
wages in cash, not in food, clothing,
ETC., and bosses disobeying the law
are, fined from $25 to $3.50. The
employer is also required to take n.y.
glenic care of his laborers, and to
supply them medical attendance free
of charge.
Ina factory where thousand per-
sons are employed, hospital with at
least ten beds must be provided and
all medical attendance is free. The
working day is limited between 6 a:
m. and p. M, labor on SUNDAYS
and forty holidays in the year is pro-
h1p1ted except in cases of actual me-
cessity, and not more than 12O hours
overtime may be worked in any year.
On the other hand, employers NAV
fine workmen for any of these three
causes: First, for defective work;
second, for absence without sufficient
cause; third, for any infraction of
shop~ regulations. In determining
what Is defective work the employer
is not the sole judge. The govern,
ment factory inspector may be an.
pealed to. The fines are calculated
oS the. nature Of the defects, and not
oy the loss sustained by the en-
ployer The fines go into a. special
tund for the benefit of the employees.
Fines for absence without sufficient
cause may not be imposed unless the
absence Is for at least half a day.
No fine for absence on account of
