LABOR ORGANIZERS ARE BEATEN
AND SLUGGED BY TOOLS OF MONEY
J. w. Perkins Was Assaulted, Beaten and Driven
Away by President of Lumber Company
Who Says He Will Kill Them
OFFICERS OF TIMBERWORKERS WILL
CONTINUE TO EXPOSE TO PUBLIC GAZE THE
ENORMOUS GRAFT THAT LUMBERMEN
EXTORT FROM PUBLIC

On January 18TH, while working
at Mendenhall, Miss. Special Organ
izer J. W.. Perkins of our Interna-
tional was assaulted, beaten and
driven from that vicinity at the
point of a gun by President Gulledge
of the Gulledge Lumber Company
and others. After brutally beating
Organizer Perkins, the beating being
administered by Mr.. Gulledge, he was
told that in the future, organizers
of the International Union of Tim
berworkers would not be beaten, but
that they would be killed outright.
He was told that the mill owners
have a secret organization that would
handle this proposition. and that they
intend to "bust up" the Timber
workers Union. He was told to
write or wire the International Of
ficers at Seattle that they intend to
kill all of the higher officials of the
International, and that because they
lived in Seattle would not save them,
that they would get them anyway.
He was advised to urge the officers
of the International to resign and
let the organization die, or that they
would kill them all off.
The foregoing is but brief state
ment of the situation in the South
as reported to us by Brother Per-
kins. This is not the first time that
our men have been beaten and shot
at in the South. At Bogalusa, La,
two men were killed in cold blood,
three others were severely wounded.
Other officers, organizers. and men,
bers have been kidnapped and brutal
ly beaten, some of whom have not
fully recovered at this date. The
American Federation of Labor has
taken up some of these cases and
they will be prosecuted to the full
est extent of the law.
Your International officers know
that these are not idle threats, we
know that the lumber operators,
both in the North and the South, will
stop at nothing to prevent the or
ganization of the workers in the
timber industry under the banner of
the International Union of Timber
workers. Well do the Southern OPP
orators know that when we get those
workers organized that they will
have to pay decent wages, grant

fourteen times faster than the popu-
lation. In a little more than rs
years, the idea embodied in the tiny
store at Rochdale, England, spread
until now the 1900 large cooperative
stores in Great Britain are doing a
business of $2,000,000,000 a year,
selling everything from groceries to
clothing and even automobiles of
their own manufacture.
Not only does the cooperative buy
ing movement consist of stores, but
it has its own gigantic WHOLESALERS
and warehouses, and what is more,
it owns in England alone 108 huge
factories, and thousands of acres of
land in Great Britain, Ceylon and
India. 1t raises tea on its own plan
tations in the tropics, for the use
of its members; it owns collieries and
steamships; it owns the largest flour
mills and shoe factories in Great
Britain, is the largest purchaser of
Canadian wheat, maintains its own
fishing stations and a flotilla of fish
ing craft, operates a bank that does
a business of three billion dollars a
year; in short, the cooperative move
ment of Great Britain is crowding
private business to the wall.
Great Britain is not alone in this
movement. One-third the population
of Germany are members of cooper
alive societies, an increase of 90
per cent since the outbreak of the
war. France, too, is turning to coop
erative. The French cooperatives
70 hai &c
in 1920. There are now 1000 con-
sumers societies in France, and a gil
gantic wholesale owning many large
warehouses. The wholesale even
owns hundreds of railroad cars for
the transportation of goods pro-
duced at it's own factories and wine
grown in it's own vineyards.
Denmark is now practically a CO.
operative commonwealth, and private
business in that country is being
forced out of existence. Austria re-
lies to large measure upon the CO.
operative for its daily bread. Bel
GUM with it's enormous cooperative
bakeries and it's fine cooperative
stores is building up new economic
order within the shell of the old sys-
tenn.
Though the movement is only in
its infancy in the United States, it is
a force to be reckoned with. Three
thousand stores, three-quarters of a
million cooperators, and a national
federation carrying on constant edu-
cational workf are a pretty vigorous
beginning.
All these cooperative enterprises
are democratically governed by the
members on the principle of zone
vote for every member" Their bus
mess policies are practically the
same all over the world-goods are
sold at prevailing market prices, but
part of the profit is distributed back
to the patrons, according to the
amount of their purchases, some of
the profit going towards the further
expansion of the movement, through
the establishment of additional en-
terprises. and through the spread of
the idea of cooperation.
Profiteering is being eliminated
through the cooperative movement.
The cooperatives are demonstrating
all over the world that self-govern-
ment is possible in industry, and that
the way to achieve it is through the
cooperative enterprises Of the con-

Venereal Diseases
Do Enormous Damage

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. ID
1t must be evident even to the lay
man, says a report published by the
u. S. Public Health Service, that the
damage done by venereal diseas is
enormous. Unfortunately, conceal
ment is so general that there is little
dependable information yet available
in regard to important facts.
For improvement in reporting cases
and in giving the true causes of
deaths reliance must be had on the
efforts of workers in the syphiltic
field. They must, says the public
health service, become missionaries
in popularizing the reporting re-
quired by law. Half the physicians
in the country have agreed to coop,
crate with the state boards of health
in this respect and the great major
ity of the other half would fall in
line if they were convinced that CO.
operation would protect their pa
tients and that it was really wanted
by the community. This would give
much-desired information as to the
real prevalence of venereal diseases
Meanwhile, in order to acquire at
least apart of this desired knowl-I
edge the public health service sug-
gests that physicians whose practice
has brought them into contact with
large numbers of syphilitic patients
over long periods of time might send
to some central office the histories
of their patients from the time Of
infection, through the period of treat
ment, to dismissal either through
death or clinical recovery
Possibly, says the service, many
physicians will be ready to turn over
valuable material of this character.
Army and navy medical records |
should also be valuable, for both
contain large numbers of records of
the infection of personnel. Combined
study of these should disclose the
actual mortality from syphilis and
the impairments, or sequelae, which
have resulted from it. A large SER
les of records might conceivably show
fairly constant relationship be-
tween syphilitic infection and aneur-
isms, locomotor ataXia, general par
alysis,, organic heart disease, and 9TH
er conditions. For such a study al
large number of cases, widely dis
tributed and checked by statistical
requirements of age, sex, and race,
would be necessary. The results
should ultimately permit true meas
ure of syphilitic mortality to be OBJ
tanned from the crude figures that
are annually published.
