Police Break Up
Workers Party
Meet Saturday

Police broke up a Workers Party
street meeting at the corner of Mil
waukee and Division SITS. Saturday
night. Karl Reeve, reporter for the
DAILY WORKER, was speaking in
English, and I. Radwansh of the Po-
lish branch Of the Workers Party was
addressing the crowd in Polish. AS
the Polish speaker was talking six
plain clothes thugs surrounded the
platform and ordered the speaker to
conclude.
Reeve announced to the crowd that
in spite of the fact that the constitu.
ton grants the right of free speech
the police had ordered the meeting to
disband, thus proving assertions that
the capitalists had control of the gov
eminent and used the police as their
servants to browbeat and keep the
workers in subsection.
This is the second street meeting
which has been held on this corner for
several years. The Polish workers of
the neighborhood gathered in great
numbers and Saturday nights meet
ing was large and interesting. The
Polish branch of the Workers Party
announces that an even larger at
tendance is. expected next Saturday
night, when free speech protest
meeting will be held on the same cor
ner, with the same speakers.

GOOD old DAYS
when KIDS Went
TO WORK AT nine
Dept. Store Man Thinks
That Was the Life

Tears for the old days when chill
dren went to work at nine and ten
years of age are shed by Clarice Hick-
man who used to do the hiring and
firing for The Fair, a Chicago de-
partment store.
"A few years ago." Clarice tells the
$4,000 sympathetic members Of the
Illinois chamber of commerce, there
were no labor laws to curtail the am
billions of youth in its infancy and the
product of those days was group of
commerce builders.
1.-THE large department and retail
stores were developed and the cash
and errand boys and girls who were
on the payroll at the age Of nine or
ten have progressed to presidents,
general managers and super-execu-
tives and planted field of golden op-
portunities for the youth of the gener-
ations succeeding them to harvest;
the youth that has tendency now to
dissipate its hours in the movies and
the dance halls"
Clarice leaves the impression that
every nine year old cash girl in the
golden days of yore is now super
executive. If any girls failed to rise
it was probably because Of death from
overwork or because they we're run
down by the midnight express on the
way to their job.

FARMERS DROP
HEARST'S SCAB
SEATTLE PAPER
Blacklist by Washington
Federation Expected
Especial to the Daily Morker.)

SEATTLE. July 22.-Workers and
farmers Of Washington are rallying to
the support of the striking and locked
out unionists from the composing
room of Hearst's Post-Intelligencer.
In the Yakima valley. fruit farming
region, "P.-I." solicitors find that for
every order they take there are ten
stops.
Recent action by the central labor
councils of Everett and Bremerton in
putting the scab Hearst paper on the
unfair list is expected to be followed
thruout the state. Strikers believe
that the big publisher will soon be
beaten into line and compelled to take
back his printers, stereotypers and
mailers under regular union condi-
tions.
A resolution branding Hearst's
northwest publication as the foe OF
organized labor is looked for at the
Washington Federation of Labor con
vention now in session at Olympia
The resolution, which is backed by
the Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia
Typographical unions, hits directly at
the circulation and advertising of the
Post-Intelligencer. Such opposition
as may come from labor leaders who
crave friendly publicity in the columns
Of the "P-I" is not likely to prevent
the passage of the resolution.

pany rate of $3.50 per day on
machine mined coal. The con-
tract in the Drumheller field for
this form of work is 80 cents
per ton for room work. The
men were loading ten to fifteen tons
per day for $3.50. The operator re-
fused to sign the agreement for con-
tract work.
Scramble For Jobs.
The first morning that the men
started to work, ninety-five men ap-
piled for the twenty odd jobs that
were open. When the operator saw
that there was a scramble for the jobs,
limit was set on the men, and any
miner who cox?d not load ten tons
per day was considered inefficient
That meant, that with one hundred
men ready to take his job, he invari-
ably went out and worked to hold it.
If some happened to work under fav.
orable conditions, and loaded their ten
tons before the S-hour period was com
pleted, the boss would make them
load until the time period was up.
Some of the men loaded twelve tons
in entries, which meant that they
were entitled to $13.68 at S1.14 per
ton; instead they received the days
pay of $3.50.
scabs Have Poor Deal.
The coal branch west of Edmonton,
Mile s (MercoaD has nine men work
ing on the slope and about twenty
men outside. This camp has not been
organized. Some Of the men are be-
ing paid as low as four dollars per
day. The contract in the slope is .3S

fifteen foot spread; eight inches OF
clay in center of seam, and four to six
inches of bone which has to be ex.

This is poor agreement, and it is
practically impossible to make wages
The agreement signed by the Local
union at Foothills has proven unsatis

THE BOY ARTIST

In Soviet Russia there is a boy
artist named Peter Miranof. He
is only fourteen years old now.
His father was a forester in
Siberia; so Peter and his family
lived in the woods. Peters faith
er was killed when the "white
guard" came near his home and
tried to stop the workers and
peasants from running their own
business. The "whites" wanted
to tell the workers what to do so
that the "whites" could get rich
and the peasants and workers
would be poor all the time.
Peter and his mother lived in
their little hut after the father
died and Peter helped his mother
make living by gathering sticks
in the woods to take to the town
for other people to buy for their
stoves.
Peter liked to draw. He drew
with a stick in the dirt. When
he got a scrap of paper and a
crayon or pencil, he was very
happy and would draw pictures
all over the paper.
One day many men came to the
woods and mountains near Pet
er's home. One Of the men saw

walls of the hut where Peter and
his mother lived. The man was
an engineer, not the kind who
runs a train, but the kind who
can tell how to build mine.
This mans name is Troutman.
He liked Peters drawings so well
that he took the boy to Moscow.
The Russian painter Malieva
looked at Peters drawings. He
said that the boy needed only a
little lesson to help him handle
his brush and crayons.
Then the man named Trout
man, the mining engineer, showed
Peters work to some of the Soviet
officials. They were very pleased
with the boy and his drawings.
Now they have sent him on a trip
all over Russia to draw pictures
of the country. They will hang
these drawings in the big state
picture gallery.
If Peter Miranof's work pleases
many more people, the boy may
be able to get a little money and
go to Paris to study some of the
other fine art works of the world.
