the oil was ever taken out cleaned and

the oil could have been kept in the re-

come upon us, it would have taken
months to drill wells, pump, refine,
and transport the oil to where the
ships could get it. Meanwhile the
war might have ended, without our re-
serves of oil playing any part in it
whatever.
$50 you see that the government
accomplished two very wise objects in
arranging to get the navy oil out of
the reserves now. 1t prevented the
loss of the oil by drainage, and it put

CANADA MOUNTED
COP DOPE SELLER
AND UNION FINK
Enticed Girls Into the
Opium Habit

VICTORIA, B. G.. Dec. 2S.-After
being employed as disrupter in the
Lumber Workers Union of this prov.
ince and later convicted as a dope
peddler and enticer of young girls to
the opium habit, Frank Eccles, former
Canadian mounted policeman, has
come back into the business world as
an exporter Of cedar collins to China
Now In Coffin Business.
Last week he shipped some 2,4O0
cedar collins to the orient, and an
nounces that he has opened up this
business for the selling of B. c. cedar
products abroad. The fact that this
vile stoolpigeon is enabled to enter
the exports business on such a scale
is positive proof that between his dope
peddling and labor spying activities he
has been well rewarded financially.
Also stooIpigeon.
Eccles was convicted, along with
two other members of the mounted
police. Of having sold dope to young
girls and when they refused to pur-
chase from him, planted 1t on them
and then made their arrest. In the
trial it was brought out that he was
the receiver of hush money" for pro
tected higherups in the traffic. He also
confessed that during 1922 he was
ngaged in disrupting the Lumber
Workers Union by fostering the idea
OF dual organization among the dis
contended members.

PASHAS LOOKS
after CUSTOMERS
CONSCIENTIOUSLY
They Become His Friend
and Comrade

The record Of sub-selling was broken
today by George Pashas, owner of the
Cozy Lunch Room, 2426 Lincoln Ave
The ease with which subscriptions to
the DAILY WORKER sell was dem
onstrated by Pashas in several morn
ing hours of business. No more than
dozen short, persuasive conversa-
tions with as many breakfast pa
irons of his restaurant netted nine
subscriptions to the DAILY WORKER.
The international character of
Pashas patronage is indicated in the
nationality of the names on the nine
subscriptions blanks. Three were
American, one Jewish, one Hungarian,
one Scandinavian, one Russian, one
Slavish and one French.
What They've Seen Looking For.

This should give encouragement to

Chicago subscription drive for five
thousand new subscribers.
II Can Be DoneI
Thurber Lewis, manager Of the
drive, told the DAILY WORKER at
his Office in Room 307, 166 w. Wash
ington street: "The experience of
Comrade Pashas in selling subscrip-
tions to the DAILY WORKER is a
real proof Of the groundlessness Of the
belief many Of our comrades have that
it is a hard job selling a subscription
to the DAILY WORKER. Of course.
it's hard to sell one to a white-coIlared
bank clerk or one hundred per cent
rotarian, but it is not hard to arouse
the interest Of a real worker"
