ton was buried in sleep. The sentry's
cry of Calls well !" could be heard dis
tinctly from its shores.
At dawn, 143 years ago, the Ameri-
cans at work were seer by the sailors
on board the British ships of war and
the alarm was given. The captain OF
the Lively, the nearest ship, without
waiting for orders, put a spring upon
her cable and, bringing her guns to
bear, opened a fire upon the hill. One
man, among a number who had incau-
tiously yentured outside, was killed. A
subaltern reported his death to Colonel
Prescott and asked what was to be
done. "Bury him." was the reply.
1t was the first fatality in the battle
Of Bunker HILL. one of the most mo-
mentOus conflicts in our Revolutionary
history, 1t was the first regular battle
between the British and the Americans
and ,most eventful in its consequences.
The British had ridiculed and despised
their enemy, representing them as das-
tardl7 and inefficient yet here the best
British troops, led on by experienced
officers, were repeatedly repulsed by
an faferior force of that enemy-mere
yeomanry-from works thrown up in a
single night, and suffered a loss rarely
paralleled in battle with the most vet
eran soldiers. According to their own
returns their killed and wounded, out
of a detachment of 1000 men, amount
ed to 1,054, and a large proportion of
them officers. The loss of the Ameri-
ans was All out of 1900 men en-
gagged. So the number of casualties in
this battle was more than 80 per cent
The Penn's Grove record., 1921-06-17

of the number in action, thus placing
1t among the bloodiest battles that had
heretofore been known to history. At
Waterloo the British loss was less
than "a per cent. No wonder that
June II is a second Fourth of July.
What the Victory Meant.
A gallant loyalist of Massachusetts,,
who fought so well for King George
that he rose to be a full general in the
British army, regarded Bunker Hill as
a transaction which controlled every
thing that followed. "You could not"
he would say to his friends or the 9th
or side. shave succeeded without it."
1.-THE rebels" Gage wrote a week af-
for the battle, "are shown not to be the
d~isorderly rabble too many have sup
nosed, In all their wars against the
French they have showed no such con-
duct and perseverance as they do now.
They do not see that they have ex-

had sent for re-enforcements early in
the day, and John Stark, with his New
Hampshire company, had c~ourageously
crossed Charlestown Neck under a Sc
we're fire from the enemy. But the ha2-
ard of the attempt deferred other COM
manders from bringing troops to the
support of the brave Prescott.
With ammunition almost exhausted
and troops tired out from the strain TO
which they had been subjected, Pres
colt realized the futility of holding his
position in the face of repeated at
tacks by the reformed and REINFORCED
British lines. Nevertheless he deter
mined again to measure his strength
with the adversary; and, with a COM
mand to his men to make every shot
tell, he awaited the advance of the
British. Again the latter were per-
mitted to advance within twenty yards
of the American works before they
were fired upon. The British line was
broken, but still it advanced. With
their powder now quite exhausted, the
Americans met their opponents with
dubbed muskets and bayOnets.
The odds were too great and Pres
colt ordered his men to retreat. II
was in doing this that the Americans
suffered their heaviest loss; among
others who fell was Warren, one OF
the most cherished of the popular lead

Industry Zoe Attraetlve2

If the legislative program Of New
Brunswick trade unionists is adopted
1t will lure workers to the cities, and
this would be undesirable, declared bus
mess men of Fredericton, New
Brunswick, at a conference in which
the workers proposed legislation was
opposed. In it's appeal to the govern
ment to reject these demands, the en-
ployers say:
"One feature we would particularly
remind you Of, when considering the
enactment of so-called labor legisla-
ton, is that all enactments which tend
to make the conditions surrounding the
employment in industrial centers more
attractive and favorable to wage earn
ers employed In these centers, in COM
parison with those employed in agri-
cultural and rural districts, tend to In
tensify the migration from these dis
tricts to the industrial centers. Ways
and means should be considered to-
ward alleviating this serious condition
Of migration rather than toward ag-
gravating it."
The Objectionable legislation in
cludes compensation amendments, re-
striction Of child labor and the eight
hour day. Greater educational facili-
ties demanded by the workers are set
aside by the employers with the claim
that this Is matter Of 'public- policy

THREW FLOWERS AND GEMS
London Crowd Benefited by Woman's
Enthusiasm Over the Ending
Of the Great War.

During the peace rejOicings one
night in London several guests stand
ing at the upper windows Of a West
End restaurant began to throw roses
down to the crowds packed In the
street below. A woman In evening
dress, after throwing out numbers Of
roses, took bracelet from her arm
and tossed 1t to the people, following
this with ring from her finger.
Then, after throwing more roses, she
took the ornaments from her hair
and threw these also into the strug-
Cling mass of people below.
An elderly man at an adjoining win
dow threw out several spoons and
forks, and then, finding nothing else at
hand, threw an apple which was deft-
ly caught and promptly returned,
striking the window close by, but, for
tunately, without breaking the glass.
The women then began to throw
out treasury notes, wadding them into
small balls and flinging them one by
one tc the excited crowd. After get
ting r;d of seven or eight notes she
expressively spread out her hands to
indicate that she had nothing more
and was loudly cheered.

REJECT ONE BIG UNION IDEA
Lumber Workers Of Alberta, Canada,
Announce Change in Their
Views on the Subject.

''The death kne1 OF the One Big
Union has been tolled," says the Al
berta Labor News of Edmonton, which
discusses the withdrawal from the
One Big Union of lumber workers, who
are declared to be "the only section of
the One Big Union that has ever func-
toned" The lumber workers have
set up an independent union and are
now denouncing their former col
leagues as political leaders and ora
tors" Secretary Berg Of the new or
ganization of lumber workers says "the
membership were blindly led into the
trap that had been carefully laid by
these would-be leaders and as a result
the One Big Union is one big union
only in name." The Alberta Labor
News says the great mass of workers
who Joined the One Big Union were
sincere, but they were ignorant of his
tory and the theory of those who posed
as their leaders"
''They could not" says the Labor
News, "have understood the philosophy
of the men who launched the move
ment or they would have known that
the move was political and not indus
trial. They must also have been ig-
norant Of the history Of working-class
organization, its failures and successes,
or they would have seen the impotence
of the thing they were being led into"

Paper Workers on Strike.

Approximately $4,000 members of

Workers are on strike, James 7. Carey,
president of the brotherhood, said.
The plants affected are located in
the northeastern section of the United
States and Canada and are operated by
the International Paper company, Tide
water Paper company, Minnesota and
Ontario company and the Fort Fran
ces Paper company. Most of the mills
are engaged in the production of news

A few independent companies, To-
Gated at Thomson, Felts Mill,-Great
Bend and Hadley, New York, signed
a wage and working agreement with
the union and are not affected by the

The strike was called in protest
against a wage reduction of approx
mately 30 per cent and a change in
working conditions.

Trade.unIon Woman to Mset.

Trade-uniOn women are planning a
conference at Waukegan, H., to be
held during the week beginning June
8. In sending out the call for the con-
vention the National Women's Trade
Union League of America points out
the exceptional Importance Of the con-
vention at this time, due to the critical
economic situation, faced especially by
woman workers, against whom there
have been unfair determinations in
rates Of pay and industrial opportun-
ity. The particular task of the con-
yentiOn will be to develop further ways
and means to continue the four chief
purposes Of the league:
1. To organize all working women
into trade unions.
2. To make possible for women an
equality with men in Industrial and
professional opportunity.
3. To make equal pay for equal work
regardless of sex a fact and not the
Ory.
4. To make citizenship mean actual
equality of liberty, status, opportunity
between men and women.

ROOKIE is PART OF PASTlME
Instead Of Being Personifeation Of
Hayseed He Is Today Well Edu-
Gated and hammered.

Rockies aren't what they used to
be. The recruit was once supposed to
be and sometimes was the personiiea-
tion of hayseed and cabbage.
They furnished entertainment to
veterans by their crudeness and things
they didn't know about the world as
well as baseball. Today practically
all rockies are well educated and well
hammered.
Many have arrived before they hit
the big time in the knowledge of the
game. This is due to the caliber Of
ball played in the minors and to the
increasing number of recruits from
college mines.
Most hayseeds blow out of big league
ball faster than they blew in. Few Of
them come up from the hills with bare
feet.
Baseball Is a mans game now. 1t
has progressed far as regards the
mental caliber of those who play it.
Yet the word rookie will always stick.
It's part Of the pastime.

Textile Industry Normal.

Indications that wage and working
conditions in the textile industry at
Fall River, Mass, had reached normal
levels were contained in a joint state
ment issued by the Cotton Manufactur-
ers' association and the Textile coun-
Gil. The present rate of wages, estab-
lished after a reduction of 221S per
cent five months ago, will be effective
for at least six. months, it appeared.
The statement which followed a con-
ference at which trade conditions were
discussed at length follows: "At a
meeting of the Cotton Manufacturers
association and Textile council, held
for the purpose of discussing trade con-
ditions, it was agreed by both parties
that there would be no change in the
wage schedule June i, and no change
is anticipated during the next period"

erty in the Toledo District Sought.

Suit to recover approximately $780,
600 from the United Brotherhood Of
Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers was filed by
the Bacon Brothers company, manu-
facturers Of gloves and mittens, In fed
eral court at Toledo, Ohio.
A temporary restraining order was
issued by the court preventing the re-
moval from the district of any of the
property Of the brotherhood.
All Of the grand officers and mem
bers Of executive boards are made de-
PENDANTS to the suit individually and
as officers.
The bill of complaint estimates that
there are 100000 members who would
be liable to become defendants under
their constitution but merely names
the officers.
The appointment of a receiver for
the property in the Toledo district is
also asked. 1t is also suggested that
1t may be necessary to extend the re-
ceivership by ancillary proceedings to
all Of the brotherhood property wher-
ever situated.
The bill Of complaint charges that
one Of the agreements entered into by
A. M. Everett, John Hall and John ].
O'Grady and other members Of the ex-
ecutive board Of the brotherhood with
the Bacon Brothers company, was
practically abrogated by these same
individuals when they sent out a cir
cular over the United States and Can
ada, denouncing the whole plan.
The brotherhood purchased the Ba-
con Brothers Toledo plant and hired
A. 3. Bacon, secretary-treasurer Of the
company, to manage the business.
The plan was to sell gloves, over
alls, mittens, hose, shoes, blankets and
other wearing apparel to the union
members at cost.
1t is charged that internal dissension
arose in the brotherhood and some
members deliberately set out to ruin
the cooperative plan and destroy the
Toledo firms business.
