Big Land deal
With OPERATORS
BY j. T. O'FLAHERTY
(Sixth Article)

The official machinery of the
Illinois Miners Union is today
being used by Frank Earring
ton to support for reelection
the most notorious capitalist
CRATER and all round political
crook that ever sat in the gov
ernor's chair at Springfield.
Considering Farrington's past
dealings with other capitalist
politicians it is a fair assump-
ton that the price of his treach-
cry in this case comes to a
pretty stiff figure.
While the thousands of Illinois
miners are unemployed and in
a serious condition for want of
the necessities of life, this mas
ter faker is putting up a united
front with Small, Dawes, Brun-
dage and Coolidge to put over
the republican ticket in Illinois
and in the United States while
giving lip service to LaFollette
and the so-called progressives.
Dunno For the Workers.
The only candidate for governor of
Illinois that deserves the support of
the working class is William F.

and the wages they receive for their
living. If they are unable to secure
work they are unable to live.
The right to 'life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" to them means
an opportunity to work and earn these
things.
The Workers Without Jobs.
Today there are already two million
workers in the United States without
jobs. They are denied the opportunity
to earn living.
Hundreds of thousands of miners
have been unemployed from periods
running from three to six months,
some even longer.
The steel industry has been running
at less than so per cent of capacity
for many months, which means more
hundreds of thousands of workers who
are denied the right to work.
The textile industry has thrown a
large part of its workers on the street
The clothing industry has its tens OF
thousands without work. The auto
mobile industry has laid off hundred
thousand or more men.
All over the country the number OF
men and women without jobs is grow
ing. The bosses system of industry is
breaking down again. In 1921 this
breakdown of the capitalist industrial
system threw FIVE OR SIX MILLION
WORKERS OUT OF JOBS.
These workers didn't have any "in'
alienable right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" The bosses
couldn't make big profits because
their system of industry wasn't work
ing, so they sent these workers out on
the streets to starve.

A Lame Excuse.
An injunction was obtained restrain

YOUR EYES

Now that school work is over for
short time, we wish to ask each one
of our young eye patients TO please
continue to wear the treatment
glasses we gave you, so that your eye
muscles can rest and relax to them.
Then in three or four weeks after
school closed we wish you to return
for your permanent glasses. If you
will do this as we direct, then your
permanent glasses will give you the
best possible distant vision from the
first.
We have explained so often why
it is impossible to correctly fit young
school students with glasses that do
not fog distant vision while attend
ing school and using their eyes long
hours for close work We will not
take time to farther treat those who
| do not wear the treatment glasses
| CONTINUALLY until they return as
above requested.
For 25 years we have prac-
ticed relaxing cramp with treatment
glasses, only charging standard
price for one examination and one
| pair of first grade glasses the only
grade we furnish which method re-
quires double the work and much
expense.
If you do not appreciate this ser
vice, others do so we are not going to
worry much ii you don't want to
take the medicine necessary. What
we mean is that if you leave your
glasses off through vacation, then
come around when school begins for
examination, it will not be free. You
thus have thrown away the effect of
the treatment and would be back at
starting place.
Our service method is not half so
easy or profitable as just fitting Wis
ion glasses and you must not expect
1 us to 90 over the same ground sew
eral times because Of your lack Of
cooperation.
Vision fit glasses can be worn or
! left off without much disturbance.
! but glasses that relaXes cramp and
fits the real error Of the eyes cannot
be left off without causing much
trouble when they are put on for the
reason that muscles soon go back to
the Old position when glasses are
off.
All parents who are interested in
their children's eyes will have them
corrected early in vacation period
for the reason that it is easier to
| prevent eye strain than to cure ii
after you once get it. Eyes should
be worked out and have time to get
strong through vacation. Then if
there are no serious physical defects
of body the eyes will do all school
requirements.
If we sprain our arm we carry X
in sling TO rest it until it gets we'll

while doing hard school work. They
must be cured vacation time by
