Coal Business Makes
P u b Ii g Confession
of Its Crookedness

Extraordinary care must be taken
by Chicago people to keep from
being cheated by coal dealers, &C
cording to the Chicago Coal Mer-
chants Assn. In prominently dis
played ads in the daily papers the
association warns every Chicagoan
that:
"you are at the mercy of the
shortweighters unless the utmost
vigilance is exercised. Use every
means TO check up on deliveries
Of coal into your bins. On the
least suspicion insist that your
fuel be reweighed on public scale.
Do this regardless Of who the coal
merchant is"
The association wants a recently
invalidated city ordinance safeguard
ing weighings to be re-enacted so that
it will stand court tests.

but they showed him a check for ST.

counted out the cash in the vaults of
the bank. The examiner marked o. X,

money stayed in the Dawes bank and
Lorimer had nothing to protect his
depositors except bundles of worthless
paper. This little piece was enacted
on October 21, 1912.
On June IL, Lorimer's bank exploded
leaving a terrible casualty list. The
creditors got busy and discovered a
check for $1,250.O0O drawn on the
Central Trust Company, the Dawes
bank.
The Latest Decision.
The creditors and receiver de-
manded that Dawes come across with
the $1,250,O0O which the records
showed he had in his vaults. The
case went into the courts and after
several decisions all but one of which
went against the Central Trust, Mr..
Dawes may now have to turn over
$165,O00 to the creditors whom he
helped to defraud.
What happened to Lorimer? Did he
go to Jail? Ha! Ha! Ha! Whatenell-

AmaIgamated Statement

1.-THE New York Clothing Manu-
facturers' Exchange. representing
the most responsible makers of
mems and children's clothing in
this market, have quickly recog-
nized the importance to the indus
try of prompt settlement of the
demands of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America
which were made in order to put
an end to the unbearable condi-
tions which the chaos in the in
dustry during the last two years
had brought about, as well as to
stabilize the industry.
"This agreement provides that
the union shop shall prevail in all
the shops of the members of the ex-
change, as well as the contracting
shops working for them.
at provides for a minimum scale
of wages, dependent upon produc-
ton, which will not add to the
present cost of production, but
stabilize it. Immediate steps are
to be taken to put an unemploy-
ment insurance plan into effect
similar to that already in operation
in the Chicago clothing market.
1.-THE necessity of providing a
means for a quick settlement of
differences between the workers
and the manufacturers is recog-
nized, and arbitration machinery is
to be installed which will enable
these differences to be settled
quickly without in any way dislo-
eating the process of production.
Such machinery is in no sense a
new experiment, as it has been
working successfully for some years
in other markets where the Anal
gamated has agreements with the
clothing manufacturers.
This agreement made with the
New York Clothing Manufacturers
Exchange should clear the way for
prompt settlements on the same
basis with those manufacturers in
the New York market who are not
affiliated with this body. The union
has already had many applications
for settlements, but has declined to
take any step until basis was laid
down that would result in stabiliz-
ing the entire industry"

Rockford Picnic is
Boost to Formation
OF English Branch

A good picnic was held by the party
branches in Rockford, at the Illinois
Park. The crowd showed a tremen-
dous interest in the speech that COM
rade tombstone made. The program,
which started at p. m. was led by
one of the comrades from the recent
ly organized Young Workers League,
who made short speech for the
league and their purpose of organic
ing the youth in America. He was
followed by the main speaker for the
day, comrade Jack tombstone, of the
T. U. z. L. who gave a most interest
ing speech on the conditions today
which the American workers and far
mers are facing. After the program
was over the dancing started and con-
tinued to 10 o'clock at night.
Among the most active in the field
work were the members of the Young
Workers League who sold most of
their papers ana literature. Many new
recruits were brought in by the leag-
uers to their organization and they
are sure that they are going to double
their membership in very short time.
Their interest in the Communist
movement is the best guarantee that
the party will grow in the future here
in Rockford.
1t is likely that there will be or
ganized in the near future an English
speaking branch here in Rockford Ac-
cording to the sentiment among the
workers after comrade Johnstone's
explanation of the conditions which the
American workers are facing today,
there was much favor to such an
organization which could be able to
fight in the interest Of the workers.
The picnic was held by the Swedish,
and the Lithuanian branches Of the
party and the Young Workers League.
At present plans are already laid for
another picnic to strengthen our press
and to spread our papers among the
workers of Rockford.

Grated, but the efficiency system must
be upheld The rooms in which they
work are of the same temperature as
that of the cocoa packing room, about
so degrees.
Going out of cold rooms into the
hot air means the tissues suffer a

petition causes irritation and tuber-
culosis sets in many times, Bunte's

cuar patients.
Hard Candy Department.
In the future, lemon drops, etc, lose
their flavor for me- especially after
one sees that the flavoring includes
human sweat and blood in its pro-
duction. In hot rooms with no ven
tilation the material is cooked, fla
vored, cut and shaped
Taking the stuff hot from the pot
1T is spread on creased tables and
then the process of beating, mixing
in the flavor takes place. Most of
this work is done by young boys as
it is too hard for girls. Their salaries
are even worse, comparatively, than
the others.
AS one boy confessed, a fellow feels
like nothing after the day is finished.
In view of the Bunte Brothers new
advertising campaign, gaining world
wide recognition for its quality, it
should be noted the human side is
not mentioned.
The people who enjoy the delicious
flavors of Bunte's choice candy will
have their appetites dampened and
the taste will smack of filth when
once they see it produced.
By every time clock is a large
sign: Those running to the clock be-
fore the whistle blows will be immedi-
ately discharged. This means that the
young wage slaves must remain at
their posts, dipping, cutting, mould
ing, etc, until they hear the sound
of the whistle to deliver them from
their living hell. They must not use
the time of the company in washing
their hands and making themselves
suitable to return home, because it
means that the company might lose
probably few dollars and this can
not be tolerated in an efficiency slave
shop.
What have the young boy and girl
slaves of Bunte to say about their
conditions? Will they remain silent,
or get into action?

Where the cocoa and other

For heavy labor the boys receive
