Pennsylvania Mine
Owners Try Out the
1917 Scale; Few Scabs

MONESSEN, Pa, Sept. 2.-Over a
thousand union miners held a mass
meeting at the Fairhope ball ground.
District President P. T. Pagan and
organizers appealed to the men to
stand firm and not to go to work in
the Banning Mine No. of the Pitts
burgh Coal company which has open
ed up to operate on the 1917 scale.
They stated that the men who are
working in the mine now have been
imported from elsewhere and, that
the union ranks have not as yet been
broken
Very little coal is being mined as
the scabs are inexperienced and few
in number.

Mexicans Demand
Jobs Back, Boss
Lackeys Hurl Bricks
BY L. p. RlNDAL,
Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Sept. "a
riot" which broke out yesterday at
the City Brick company was quelled
after Cipiano Gaxiola, the leader of
the Mexican workers in the company
had been knocked unconscious and
Dave Lozano and Vic. Medina, EN-
ployes of the company, were injured
by bricks thrown by rioters, the re-
ports state.
The trouble is said to have started
when Is Mexicans who had been laid
off from the yards called on the COM
pany superintendent and demanded
they be reinstated. When their de-
mands were refused a riot started, and
law and order" made the affair still
more complicated, of course.

His program specifically advocates
increases for a distinct select portion
Of the teaching staff. And these fav-
ored few would naturally be entirely
under the control Of McAndrew to be
used as a whip for any teacher who
dared to criticize McAndrew's rule.
The methods used by McAndrew
are no different from those used by
the boss when he picks out a few
workers and gives them better wage
for which the others workers are made
to pay. Thus as in the factory there
is created two strata Of workres who
will fight each other and keep the ex'
ploitation by the boss safe, in the
school there will be created two
classes Of teachers to keep the inter
ests of big business in Chicago safe.
Teachers Should Get Busy.
The Chicago school teachers are the
only ones who are logically fitted to
make and carry out a demand fol-
higher wages for teachers. The Chi
cago school teachers have an organ
iation, the Chicago Teachers Fedora
ton. This organization should begin
at once an active campaign for in
crease in wages and to call Superin
tend~nt McAndrew's bluff.
If the cost of living has increased
for the higher paid teachers it has in
creased equally as well for the love-
paid teachers. If teachers are to re
celve decent wages the raises mus
affect all the teachers and not start a
the top with the few selected by bosi
| McAndrew.

rTHE central executive committee Of

its first meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 1,
to organize itself to conduct the work
of the party All the members, as
well as six candidates were present
at the meeting at which Comrade
Green, chairman of the parity commits
sion, presided.
Comrade Green, in discussing the
situation in the c. e. c., made the
following statement:
"Of course we have now parity
C. E. C. but it is not exactly parity
C. E. C. With the decision of the
Communist International on the ques-
ton of the groups in the American
party there goes parallel instructions
to the C. l. representative to support
that group which was the former
minority. If the C. l. continues this
policy, that will always be the case,
that is, the c.. l. representative will
be supporting that group and there
fore altho we have a nearly parity
C. E. c., we have a majority and q
minority in the C. E. c."

and officers of the central executive
committee was then taken up and the

SHOE FACTORY
WORKERS FIGHT
Open SHOPPERS
Philadelphia Union
Strike Edwards Co.
BY D. DoLLscHEk.
Especial to The Daily WorkerD

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. "A
strike has been called In the factory
Of the ]. Edwards Co. by the Shoe
Workers Protective Union. The
trouble started in the turn finishing
room which has been the only depart
ment that has been able to maintain
complete organization In the shoe rae
tory turnout the long continued de-
preston In the Industry.
One man who had worked on the
lob for seven years was suddenly dis
charged, the reason being given that
be was unable to do the work salts
factorily. The rest Of the crew were
convinced that it was an attempt to
break up their organization and they
demanded that the man be put back
to work. Edwards G Co. refused and
the finishing department was ordered
off the job.
About rs edgetrimmers, edgesetters
and nnishers were later Joined by so
turn lasters, second lasters and wood
heelers and efforts are being made to
still further extend the strike.
Like a jail.
Conditions in the shoe factory Of
the j. Edwards Co. are said to be
very bad. The workers charge that
they are not allowed to talk to one an
other, that a man who is waiting for
work is not allowed to leave his ma
chine and that the men are ever
spied upon after working hours.
Several cases have been cited where
the bosses have warned workers thal
they have been seen talking will
members of the Shoe Workers Pro
tective Union and the streets after
working hours and that this mus
cease.
Skilled Crafts Strike.
The method of operating the mod
ern shoe factory makes 1t possible 70
these strikers to completely stop op
erations in this factory. The making
OF shoes is divided into many parts
each part constituting a trade in itsel
which it takes many years for tn
workers to master sufficiently to en-
sable them to handle fine shoes. Tn
strength of the position Of the Sho
Workers Protective Union in thi
strike can be readily seen.

many of her friends had. She re
membered now how longingly he had
often looked toward the golf links
what a big thing it would be ii
Christmas would bring him the things
necessary to play the game. The city
maintained free course not far from
their home. And If she wanted so
badly to spend twenty dollars for a
hat, surely John, who was seeing and
hearing things every day, must often
have wanted something pretty badly,
too. She thought now how wonderful
he had always been-never word of
complaint, but always CHEEKY and
happy. She realized now, with bit
ter feeling at her heart, that she had
no. been fair to him--she had given
their child more than her share of the
little they had. But from now Oh
things were going to be different
John must have the best. Betty had
many years ahead to enjoy things, and
besides she realized now 1t did not
take expensive gifts to please children.
With hands that trembled Ellen
reached up and took the hat from her
head and, not daring to look at 1t
again, hurrledly left the store.
That Christmas was very happy
one for the Warmers. For, although
Betty did not get the big doll, she
seemed just as pleased and happy as
child could well be- And Ellen felt
n new glow at her heart when she
presented John with his Christmas
gift. for he was as iubllant as boy
about 1t. Her sacrifice had been in,
deed worth while-what did a becou,-
ing hat matter when put beside the
happiness she felt just now?
But the good Christmas fairy must
have been watching all, for an hour
later Johns boss called up to wish
him merry Christmas and to tell him
that Old Man Jlnson was going to
resign and that John would have his
place. A wonderful Christmas sur.
prise 1t was, for it meant an extra
five hundred year to the Warmers
Which made II probable that Ellen got
her much-wanted hat, after all.

And now she had talked John
into letting her buy the big doll
that had been in Harwel's window
since the holiday season opened.
John had tried to tell her that the
small gifts they had already pur.
chased would be enough for Betty,
but finally he had given in to her
pleading. She agreed with him that
twenty dollars was big sum to spend
for a doll, but Betty was Betty and
deserved it,
For the Warmers were poor-not
poor in the utter, abject poverty that
tlaunts its face 10 the world IN
shamed-but poor in the poverty that
means worn and threadbare carpets,
clothing grown thin and shiny from
long usage, and a careful pausing be-
fore the spending OF an unnecessary
penny Somehow, since Betty came
they had never been able to get ahead;
there was always something needed
for Betty and she had always gotten it.
Next morning Ellen left the house
early, with the wonderful twenty dol
lars in her purse. Betty had been
left next door, all unconscious of the
errand her mother was on. Half way
to town two women entered the car
and sat back of Ellen. They were of
the loud, overbearing type of wom-
en-, overdressed and contemptuous of
thncA. y,,bN ,f al
things. Scraps of their conversation
came to Ellen at times through the
maze of her busy thoughts.

one of them was saying "the way
some women do. It's really sinful in
these days to be dowdy. A woman's
got TO wear good clothes to be any

you've just said It," her companion
answered. "As l tell George when he
kicks about the bills, a woman has got
to dress nowadays or get nothing out

The words sank into Ellen's brain
as her eyes were scanning an adyer.

that ilk GOatud back from the women
they began to stir up queer feeling
inside Of Ellen Warner
Her glance Travelled to her dress
her shabby, mended gloves, and her
face began to burn as she thought Of
the little hat she was wearing. She
tried to shake off the feeling that was
upon her and to get her mind back on
her mission, but somehow everything
seemed different now in the light of
the strange unrest that was filling
her heart, WAS she little fool, as
these women had said Was she fair

stopped short. A sign overhead caught
