Conditions, bad as they are. are
duplicated in other fields where
there have been industrial conflicts.
In the rich Pittsburgh district prac-
tically half Of the families of min
ers are facing starvation and des-
titution. Many miners employed on
tonnage basis, according to Robert
r. Gibbons, president Of the dis
trict union, have worked for the
past year only a day or two a week,
their earnings being insufficient to
meet the bare necessities of life.
Some mines in this district have
been closed for more than q year,
and within few miles of the rich
city Of Pittsburgh hundreds of min
ers and their families are said to
be starving.
A similar situation exists through
out Ohio. Illinois, Indiana, Texas
and other mining states.
Admitting that Industrial condi-
tons are bad, there is no apparent
justification for this wholesale STAR
walton of workers and their depend
ents,. unless it be the desire Of the
operators to prepare the way for
driving hard bargain with their
men when the existing scale ex-
pires.
BY restricting output the opera
tors are enabled to keep prices up.
thus imposing additional hardships
on the public. The latest bulletin
Of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Of the Department of Labor discloses
that the retail price Of coal today
is many points higher than during
the peak war profiteering.
Starvation in Many Fields.
Fuel in Chicago is so per cent
higher than during 1917 and more
than per cent higher than dur
ing September of last year. New
York is paying an even higher tri-
butte to the operators, while Phila-
delphia, surrounded by mines and
located in the richest coal-produc-
ing state in the nation, is paying
. two points higher than New York.
An agreement negotiated by the
government nearly three years ago
between operators and miners ex-
pires on March 81, and operators
declare that it will not be renewed.
They have already violated an i'm
portant provision providing that
prior to the expiration date repre-
sentatives Of the union and the en-
ployers' association shall meet and
fix a time and place for a con-
ference on wage and working con-
ditions. Several operators associa-
tons have sent point blank refusals
to President John L. Lewis invi-
tation to meet conferees Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers Of America.

A NOTABLE PROGRAM AT THE
DIXIE PRIDE PLAYHOUSE

Sure Mike, it was dandy show that
was given last Sunday night at the
Llano theater. The orchestral music
was exceedingly good and the commun-
ity singing is a very attractive feature
and will make the Sunday night enter
tainments more fully and truly genuine
family affairs than ever before. And
the much-enIarged Junior Orchestra IS
just doing grand, The Colony surely
has as fine lot Of children as there
are anywhere in the world. Their play
ing is exceedingly good, and they en-
cored with melody, accompanied BY
song of the audience. All Of the col
onists together are very happy bunch
Of people. Then there was the quintet,
composed of Mrs. Warren Buck, MIR.
and Mrs. Gaddis, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin, who sang Hold up your head
like man. The singing was perfect
and a delight. They encored with a
whippoorwill song. A song by the
grade school Of Newllano came next,
and these children surely have good
, voices and they sang as cheerily as the
i wild birds of the forest.
Comrade Cryer and his son. Dover,
put over the boards very humorous
sketch, and created great hilarity. The
scream Of the evening was Harry Bell
with his jolly boys. Victor Gaddis is
the boy that hold things even with
Harry Bell. Their singing was glori-
Gus and all the boys played their roles
to perfection. They are real boys, all
right. and no mistake. A merry finale
by the orchestra closed one Of the fin
est programs Of the season. Thank
you, comrades. one and all.

+ tall; and probably it is worse in the
United States than in any other country
and above all. the hypocrisy with
which the heads Of this reaction bIat-
antly profess Christianity in press. on
rostrum. and in legislative halls!
Another great sign is the Soviet Re-
public OF Russia. In that case, thew
have established workers govern
ment, based not on political lines, but
economic lines, or have turned the old
order upside down and are like what
the Greeks said Of the early Christians,
when they organized among them,
hose who turn the world upside down
have come hither Also The fear this
new government has excited among the
nations whose governments are owned
and administered by the privileged
classes is shown by the fact that. while
In state Of bankruptcy from the
Great War, they still paid and gave
munitions Of war to expensive attempts
to defeat and wreck the new govern
ment; and, forgetting what Austria and
Prussia and Great Britain have learned,
who paid them large sums Of money to
fight France, that soldiers of revolu-
Ition are worth as fighters three or -four
times their number of paid hireIings.
To-day, they fear the Red Army Of
Russia, and will soon come to feal
more the diplomatic methods Of 9
workers government that is gradually
but surely gathering to it the sympathy
of all the oppressed of the earth. This
is the great change that, like the steady
rise Of the tide, these modern Canutes
cannot ordef to retreat.
Among the main hypocricies Of these
insane reactionaries is that of wholesale
senseless lying about Russia, until it is
no longer safe to believe the so-called
news items in the capitalist papers.
They are like what the Irishman said,
He's such liap wouldn't believe
him if he told the truth" Events have
turned me from curious reader into a
more than half way convinced believer
in Buchanan's Doctrine of Periodicity.
It may be also because my sympathies
run that way. but, be that as it may, it
is worth thinking over.

The formation of the bank is the out

savings of their members in deposit
funds lodged with the Cooperative

Of these deposits has been SO rapid that

with deposits from individuals. groups,
and trade unions totalling more than

The initial capital Of the bank is
fixed at 100000 francs, owned BY
