politician had a chance for election
and could be used in the interests of
labor. The delegates were not overly
enthusiastic over Walkers anti-labor
party address.
The convention adjourned at noon
today to convene again Monday morn
ing.
harrington on Defensive.
Frank Harrington was forced on the
defensive thruout last weeks ses-
sions.
Unanimously Illinois miners dele
gates passed resolution demanding
that the union use all it's power at
the next state federation convention
to bring industrial unionism into be-
ing, with one union for each industry.
The resolution flayed the craft un-
ion system, which divides the workers
and weakens their resistance to the
employers.
Applause For Howat.
Applause rocked the convention hall
when Alexander Howat's telegram
was read, announcing he would be in
their midst.
The charge that the militant Kan
san leader had been deliberately and
cowardly deserted by Frank Earring
ton and his machine at the Indiana
polls convention, was made by Dele
gate John Hindmarsh of Riverton.
Hindmarsh told how Lewis and Far
rington had buried the Ratchet in the
last two years.
| harrington on Defensive.
Harrington, in his reply, declared:
"A paper is being distributed to the
delegates here that is not telling the
truth. 1t assumed the authority to
brand me as the most despised man
at the convention. It prints scanda-
lous and infamous falsehoods."
Bill Deach, Taylorsville, said:
Harrington is always getting out of
order" Applause followed.
Hindmarsh took the floor and made
a protest against the chairman max
ing speeches without yielding the
chair to the vice-chairman.
About That Strike Time Pay.
Resolution No. 20, instructing the
district to pay expenses of delegates
to local unions was adopted. A reso-
luton saying officers must pay into
the treasury the FIVE months pay they
received during the 1922 strike was
voted unconstitutional, but in debate
Walter Nesbit. district secretary, ad.
mitted a letter had been sent to the
sub districts telling of the decision
OF the executive board not to draw
salaries. Many sub-district officials
took no pay, later finding that many
district officials drew pay despite the
executive boards decision.
A Weak Defense.
Harrington put up a weak defense
that after the decision not to take
salary during the strike he found the
decision unconstitutional, so many
officials drew their pay
The facts are that notice OF the de.
cision not to draw pay appeared in
the capitalist press and the Illinois
Miner, but no publicity was given to
the fact that some later drew back
pay.

Anthracite has kept millions of people
comfortable for hundred years. When
properly burned it is the cheapest fuel for
the home, apartment house, hotel, hospital
and institution.
There is great economy in the use of
the small sizes (bnckwheGt, rice and baylcy)
that sell at about half the price of egg,
stove and chestnut. Maybe it will pay
you to install new equipment, especially
built for burning these cheaper sizes. Per-
haps use of the larger and smaller sizes in
your furnace will assure a satisfactory
saving.
That you may learn from experts how
to use Anthracite properly is the purpose

NEW YORK. Feb. ~. - Mary
Vysata, twenty-eight, is writing in
pain in Fordham Hospital, her body
full Of needles, safety pins, phono-
graph pins and two safety razor
blades. She has been swallowing
the needles for years. Only last
Tuesday did she begin with the
razor blades.
In melancholy looking frame
house, standing off by itself on
Leland avenue, the Bronx, num-
bered 1908, Mary's father, her aged
mother, her married sister. Annie,
and her child, are living.
Annie wants her sister back home
and weeps when she talks about
her. Her father. stopped and a lit
tie feeble, with a CULVER Of tho
hands and lips, but ''stiIl fit to

talks differently. He said:
Poor Mary! She was always

There were days when she'd

her stomach panied her. I'd beg
her not to do it, but a fever tust

Frank Vysata shook his head and
tears ran down efrom his dim. gen.
tie eyes. He added:
Since she was about thirteen sha
has been m elancholy."
The father told how. several
years ago. Mary had been bitten
in the hand by a dog-and how
four successive operations. had heen
performed, and her whole right arm
amputated before the infection was
checked.

To the voters of Randolph county,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
coming to you and thanking you for
your most loyal support and your
beautiful present you gave me as a
token of respect for what | did for
you. ! haven't words at my command
to fully express my thanks. But cir
cumstanees over which have no CON
troll are such that it will be impossible
for me to meet you until the regular
campaign.
For the great Governor McRae, with
his allseeing political eye, has seen fit
to call his third extraordinary session
Of the legislature to try to raise your
taxes for the benefit of the Barefoot
Boy in the Sticks (or the bondholders.)
While II is true we need better schools
and better roads, but it is also true
that you overburdened taxpayers can
not dig any deeper i'm your pockets for
you have already turned your pockets
inside out and got the last crumbs and
you cannot go any deeper. But we
could have some more school and road
money by the pruning process by cut
ting Off some of the high salaried men
and turning the money back where il
belongs and whether | get to make
speech or not in the coming compaign
am going TO fight to the last ditch
for your interest and help to hold your
taxes down.
Until this session is over you can
find me ON the firing line In the front
ranks and during my absence l am
forced to depend on my friends and
ask you to look after and defend my
interests at home. And | will try to
merit your great confidence and friend
ship.
Hoping to be able in the near future
to help to do enough for you to more
than repay you for your loyalty and
friendship, l am your servant,
II. NJ. Crockett. !
