thot Harris. But Max Eastman had a
little fun at Harris expense in the
Liberator, and the editor of Parsons
expressed chagrin that another editor
should reply to his silly article with
out first consulting him. 1t is said
that the principal reason for Harris
wrath against the Soviet government
was Tchitcherin's GOODNESS to him at
Genoa. The Soviet diplomat was TOD
busy with important matters to bother
with the befuddled wine bibbler. Bris-

William (Pussyfoot) Johnson is on
his way abroad again. He sailed on
the Leviathan few days ago with
such celebrities as William ]. Burns,
ousted head of the bureau OF investi-
cation of the department of Justice,
Countess Won Bernstein, the American
daughter-in-law of the former German
ambassador to this country, and many
other men and women of wealth.
Pussyfoot will try to convert the Mos
lens from their prediction to whis-
key. While the "Pussyfooter" was
sailing over the ocean on his dry err
rand, the prohibition agents in dry
America were raiding the home OF a
relative by marriage, of William How
ard Taft. The agents found whiskey
galore, but they made the mistake of
their lives and the man who led the
raid lost his job over 1t. Had he
broken into the house OF working
man and captured some moonshine,
he would be in line for promotion, but

Another story of violence connected
with the Ku Klux Khan comes from
Niles, Ohio. The night shirt knights
are very brave when they are alone
with a helpless victim or number ten
to one against their foes. But in this
case they were met by an equal num-
Der OF Knights Of the Flaming Circle,
another secret society organized to
combat the Khan and give them their
own medicine. II is unfortunate that
workingmen should be arrayed
against each other in these rival or
CARNATIONS. It's also significant that
while the labor takers, the govern.
ment and the socialist traitors babble
about force and violence and assail
Communists on that charge, that the
Ku Klux Khan follows the violent
tenor Of its ways practically untouched
by law and unawed by governmental
force. Perhaps the big fellows feel
that some day they may be able to
find use for the morons of the Ku
Klux Khan on national scale az the
industrialists OF Italy found for Mus

BIG SILK STRIKE
IS SLATED FOR

T. U. E. L. Calls for
United Support
Especial to the Daily worker.)

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
NEW YORK CITY, Aug. O.
The Associated Silk Workers
Union IS calling all broad silk
workers on strike beginning
Tuesday, August II, at 10 a. m.
At meeting of the union
membership two weeks ago a
strike committee of 80 was
elected. This committee has
been very active in preparing
for the strike. At the first mass
meeting on July 81, arranged to
bring out the silk workers of
New York City and environs, an
enthusiastic crowd of over 1900 work
ers cheered the speakers who put up
a strong argument for organization
and fight against the manufacturers.
Many we're unable to get into the hall,
so closely was it packed with workers
from the mills.
Big Meeting Friday Night.
The next big meeting at which
every silk worker, organized or unor-
ganized, is urged to attend, will be
held at p. m. Friday, August s, at
strike headquarters in Turn Hall, at
the corner of Allison and Gross SITS.
The Associated Silk Workers
Union is making great efforts to or
ganize all broad silk weavers into a
compact fighting body to battle the
employers on several issues. Among
these are:
The abolition of the three and four
loom system and the enforcement of
the two loom system, the enforcement
of the eight-hour day, an increase of
fifteen per cent in wages over the old
schedule, recognition Of the union, the
right of the union representative to
enter shops to take up grievances of
the workers, one-year agreement
with either individual or associated
employers.

Frank Harris is writing rubbish
against Soviet Russia for Haldemann-
julius weekly from somewhere in
Europe" Harris is a disappointed
egotist whose undoubted literary abil-
ity did not bring him the desired re-
ward either in honor or money. He
liked both very well. When the Boil
shevists seized power Harris in 1917
regretted that there were no men of
ability among them like Woodrow
Wilson; that Lenin and Trotsky were
mediocre. That Mr.. Harris judy
ment was poor has been proven by
time. Wilson is today looked upon
as traitor to his principles, such as
they were, and as a failure even in
his chosen field of treachery. Lenin
on the other hand is looked upon as
the greatest revolutionary leader in
history by millions of exploited and
subject peoples throut the world and
an inspiration to the working class in
their fight to free the workers from
slavery. Harris is only concerned
with his own fortunes, his pleasures
and the satisfaction of his epicurean
desires.

PORTER IDAHO RETURNS
SHOW INCREASE VALUES

Returns from a slightly more
than 80 ton shipment of Port
er-Idaho ore received from
the Selby smelter last week
disclosed a considerably larger
return than was expected. Ac-
cording to the assay sheets,
the ore averaged .O8 OF. in
gold, 285.45 ounces in silver,
and Is per cent lead, a gross
average of $2O5.3O per ton,
netting around $4,000. The
returns were for the third ship
ment made during the summer
season and in the event that
the remainder of the output
for that period averages as
high there will be q substant-
ial increase in the cash balance
shown by the report of the

NORTHERN GENEROSITY
HELPS AGED r-OgPECTO2

Another SPLENDID examrla Of
the proyerbial generosity and
big heartedness of the North
was manifested here last week,
when Abe House, a veteran
miner, prospector and timber
man, aged about Is years,
broke and incapaciated as a re-
suit of a recent accident, was
enabled to go to Oakridge,
Oregon, where he formerly re-
sided, throurh the snlanAid
generosity of a number of loc-
al citizens, who contributed -
a purse amounting to $89.75
and sent the. unfortunate old
man rejoicing on his way to
the south.
House came here last year
with the intention of prospect
ing. During the early part of
the past summ.r while pros
pecting on Texas creek he fell
over a bluff, iniuring himself
lin such a way that he was I'M
able to work. Through tbs
generosity of Frank Smith,
who found him in a destitute
condition in q small cabin in
the upper end of town he was
able to get along d,'rin0 the
summer. Those few who knew
him say the unfortunate nan
tried to work and managed to
secure a number of positions,
but his injuries made it i'm
possible for him to do heavy
work, and he could obtain
nothing else. Facing a long,
|cold winter, without work or
| funds, his condition was pit
liable, when unexpectedly re-
|lieved by the kindness of warm
hearted citizens through the
circulation of a substitution

BIG BODY HIGH GRADE
ON B. c. SILVER-REPO0T

Rumors are current to the eff
feet that a body of high grade
ore was recently encountered
during the course of the dia-
mond drilling operations on
the B. C. Silver. Whether true
or not, the rumor is reflected
in a substantial increase in the
Price of B. C. stock on the
outside, as well as on the local
market. From such information
as could be obtained it appears
that a large body of high grade
ore was encountered by the
diamond drills several weeks
ago. Later drilling operations
directed to determining the ex-
tent of the deposit are said to
have disclosed it to be more
than forty feet in width. Moth
ing could be learned regarding
the values carried, although
it is understood to average bet
ter than the ore shipped last
summer, which ranged around
S11O per. ton... Although the
statement may have no signif-
icance with respect to the re-
ported strike, it is understo ID
that Major North, general
manager Of the company, con
templates resuming work in
the near future with a much
larger crew than has been en-
ployed during the summer.

NEW MAIL SCHEDULE
is NOW EFFECTIVE

The next outgoing mail via
the Grand Trunk line ii
scheduled To close at the Hy-
der postoffice at 80 am.
Thursday, according to an an
|nouncement by Postmaster
Oren F. HILL This is somewhat
lat variance with an earlier an
nouncement regarding the
new mail service between Sc
attic and Hyder, in which it
was stated that the change
in the Grand Trunk sailing
would occur November 81,
after which the boats would
arrive early Thursdays and
leave at noon on the day of
arrival.
1t has developed however
that the change Of schedule
f. 4
occurred November IL. The
error in dates was evidently
due to a misunderstanding re-
garding the right date on the
part Of the Seattle mail auth
critics, as their communication
advising the postmaster Of the
change gives November q as
the date. A later communicate
ion from the Vancouver mail
officials, received last week,
gives the date as November II.
Under the new schedule the
steamships Prince Rupert and
Prince George will replace the
Prince John. Whichever one is
scheduled to make the trip
will leave Vancouver. Monday
every week and arrive at
Stewart wharf about z A. N.

Jack Fitzgerald, came down
from the independence Tues
day and reported a full face
of ore in the adit tunnel, now
being driven on the ore on the
first of the four vein systems

Nearly a full face of ore has
also been encountered in the

the summer from No. / tunnel
to intersect the No. 2 vein at

about 45 feet in thickness, was

cut along the vein. Later on
it is expected to continue the
crosscut from No. 2 vein to tap
vein number 8, which lies a
short distance north of the
No. 2.

Mrs. Oren F. Hill returned
Friday on the Admiral Watson
from a two weeks trip on the
Pacific Coast, during which
she visited Los Angeles and
many of the surrounding
towns, San Francisco, Portland
and Seattle. During the course
Of the trip she purchased a
splendid stock Of holiday goods
lfor the Hyder Drug Company
and also secured for Hyder a
new, direct mail service with
Seattle via the Grand Trunk
steamers through personal
Representations as assistant
postmaster of Hyder to the
Postoffice Department offic-
lials at Seattle.
Relative to the latter she says
that her interviews with Super
intendent Vandervoort in Sc
attic disclosed that the new
mail service could hardly have
been secured in any other man.
Iner than by personal represent
atoms regarding the local sit
luation. Although numerous
communications have been sent
sent to the department on the
subject of routing local mails
by the speedy Canadian steam
ers by Postmaster Hill, the of
ficials apparently gave them
but scant attention and appear
ed to know little or nothing re-
garding local conditions. She
was = asked a multitude of
questions and it was not until
she had explained almost every
fact relative to the transport
alton situation, the character
istics of Hyder, and numerous
other matters that they could
see the mail proposal in a fav-
orable light. Mr.. Vandervoort
was opposed to The establish
ment of an international mail
service between Stewart and
lHyder, owing to the expense
being out of all proportion to
Ithe prospective revenues. How
lever, when he was informed
that the Canadian steamers
landed only a few rods from
1.-THE boundary line and almost
within the town limits Of Hy-
Ider and that there would be
practically no local expense in
1.-THE handling Of the mail, he
Egave prompt assent tn the pro-
Iposal, with the result that ii
WAS ratified by the department
wv ecw days, during
(which Mr.. Vandervoort made
la special trip to Vancouver to
make arrangements with the
)Canadian mail officials.
