lStaH CORRESPONDENT Of Federated Pres

ALTOONA, Pa, March 19.-When
shall labor countenance tie injunc-
ton and when shall it oppose this
instrument of the law? This issue
occupied the District 2 convention
Of the mine workers when the oppon-
ents of President John Brophy tried
to put him in an unfavorable light
because he had resortad to the in.
junction a number of times during
his present term Of Office.
The miners voted for unionization
turnout the open shop sections Of
their territory, Not only are there
$4,000 unorganized miners in Soner-
set county, but in Jefferson, Indiana,
Armstrong and Cambria counties
there are about 5000 nonunion men.
Now that peace has been made with
the international union, District 2
hopes for cooperation in orgapix-
ing. Brophy explained that they are
attempting to maintain recruiting 10
Gals in the nonunion areas to keep
alive the union sentiment.
To prevent mine accidents, month

posed to be studying our geography,
he tried to eat it up, but he was out
of luck cause the teacher caught
him. Jimmy, but she was sore.
She yelled: "You big idiot, do you
think this is a lunch room? And
what of the health poem you recited
this morning? Didn't it say you
mustn't eat between meals?" Roor
old Dominick was 80 scared he began
to twitch and wink and this got the
teacher so sore she yanked him out
of his seat and shouted, "You go
home and bring your mother"
In the afternoon Dominick brought
his mother to school and she came
into our room. She was dressed real
poor and she had baby on her arms
and it kept on making funny faces
and us kids could hardly keep from
laughing. Anyway teacher asked her
what was the matter with Dominick
and why was he such a bad boy
But / guess Dominick's mother didn't
understand English, cause she only
kept on shaking her finger at him
and saying:
Il give him the good lick. l give
him the good lick"
Gee whiz. I was sorry for poor
Dominick. He didn't do anything.
And guess that got the teachers
goat, because Dominick's mother did
MT answer and she said loud and fast
like when she's bawling us kids out
and has that mean look on her face.
II think there is something wrong
with Dominick. He's got some sort
of sickness or he wouldn't eat the
way he does. / can't do anything
with him. You go to the doctor with
him, and find out if he can't be
cured, or else we will have to send
him to the parental school"
Then she said: "Dominick YOU ex-
plain to your mother what / said"
But poor Dominick was too scared to
talk, so he just shook his head and
blinked and then teacher said he
should go home with his mother.
Dominick didn't come back to
school for two days and when he
did, l asked him what the doctor had
said about his sickness. And guess
what? He told me the doctor said
he wasn't sick at all, but he was
growing real fast and wasn't getting
enough to eat. So | asked him why
he wasn't getting enough to eat and
he said that his father was only
making $50 week and there
were five kids younger than him in
the family and they only got one
quart of milk day and they didn't
have enough money to buy any
more.
It's kind of funny, amt it? Here's
Dominick, the smartest one in the
class and the first to memorize the
health poems, but what good does it
do him to memorize about drinking
one pint Of milk day and eating
green vegetables when his pa can't
earn enough to give him as much
bread and butter as he wants.

In Resolution at
Ohio Miners Meet

BELLAIRE, Ohio, March 49,
Opposition to the Ku Klux Khan and
demands for enforcement of safety

mines were among rdslutions passed
by the annual convention of sub
district 5, district 6, United Mine

Union officials state that there
have been 81 fatal accidents in this
sub-district alone during the past
year, and that most of these acct
dents could have been prevented by
proper safety laws.
A resolution that any miner who
joins the X. K. X. will forfeit his
membership in the miners union,
was carried.

'DoMINICK's SICKNESS"
By PAUL PAULoWICH

Dy EAOL FAOLOWI(H
my NAME is Paul, and l am ~
4V1 years old and l am in the sew
enth grade. My teacher says ] write
the best stories in the class, but my
grammar amt no good, and it's be-
cause my parents are foreigners and
don't talk English. But my sister
Mary, who graduated from the same
school am going to, and who works
in department. store, talks English
all right and she says l am going to
be a writer some day, but l know
amt because l don't know nothing
to write about even if / am pretty
good at putting my ideas down.
Anyhow, / am writing this story
because l told my sister Mary about
it and she said / should and she'd
give a quarter. She belongs to a
club called the Young Workers
League and she said they might put
it IN their magazine. But l don't
think they will because there's moth
ing exciting in it and besides they
must be awfully hard up for writ
ers if they put in anything by kid.
But gee, it would be peachy if they
would and could show the kids my
own words printed in book. Any
way, what / wanted to write about
was something that happened at
school last week. We got a kid in
our class named Dominick and he's
whiz at arithmetic and memorizing
things. He is always the first one to
learn a poem by heart. He's only
IL years old, but Jimmy, he's big!
Every night he seems to grow a lit
tie. l guess that's what makes him
so skinny and pale and jerky. Some
how or other he can't sit still very
long or keep his hands still. He's
always twitching and moving his
hands and feet and winking his eyes
and gee, but teacher gets sore, even
if he is the smartest one in the
room.
So, anyway, they put some signs
up on the walls for US kids to read
and they had some junk on them
about how to be healthy. Each idea
was put down in a little poem and
teacher made us copy them and learn
them by heart for home work. One
of the poems went like this:
The proper foods for me to eat
Are simple ones and clean,
A pint of milk each day I need,
And vegetables green.
The time to eat is during meals
And never in between.
There were.five more like this and
they were all about washing your
teeth and going to bed early and
taking baths often. Next morning
when teacher asked us who knew all
the verses by heart, Dominick was
the only one who did. That's pretty
good. amt it, but teacher never
praises Dominick because his twich-
ing gets her nerves.
That morning went into the PEN
ny lunchroom in the basement and
bought a nickel's worth Of sand
witches and Dominick looked at me
so hungry that / gave him one, but
the bell rang before he could eat it
all up, so he put the rest in his pock-
et. Afterwards when we were sup
