POOTLEGGEES LIFE A HARD ONE.

Early this year a Minnesota man was
convicted Of hootIegging and sentenced
to six months in Jail. At the end Of six
months it was discovered that the man
who had served the term was not the
convicted man at all but a tramp who
had been hired to substitute for the
former.
When the bootIegger admitted the
change in federal court recently the
judge decided hat a Is months sentence
for contempt Of court should be added
to the original six months term, making
a total of 10 months which the man will
have to serve before he eau resume his
business. THE Pathfinder.

The educated Porto Rican immigrant

his much more unfortunate countryman,

sympathiZes with them. He likes to live
among Americans, and will quickly adapt
himself to his new environment. AS a
rule he will be found to be alert and ina

part OF the American community wherein
he resides, rather than segrpgating him

his understanding of American institu-

an American citizen and comes here with
sincere love in his heart for this country
make him a truly ideal immigrant.

UNCLE SANS FIRST CENSUS.

UNCLE SANS FIRST CENSUS.
The first United States census was ia
ken in 1890. At that time the enumera-
tors were bothered by many peculiar
native names, while today they encoun-
ter all sorts Of foreign names. The first
census list contained many such names
as Silence Heard. Wait Long, Thankful
Heart, Submit Willingly etc. Of the
more than 27, coo surnames on this ear.
lest national census nine and four
tenths per cent were derived from parts
of speech describing household and do,
nestle affairs, nations and places etc.
Middle m and initials were not
common among early settlers. Even
among the signerS of the Declaration of
Independence there were only three who
had middle names. Those three were
Robert Treat Paine, Richard Henry Lee
and Francis LightfoOt Lee. OF the total
number of surnames on the first census
lists about one half were retul ned from
Pennsylvania. The smallest number of
surnames came from the New England
states. Massachusetts Connecticut, Penn
s~yIVania and North Carolina showed the
same surnames occurring more than 500
times. In Massachusetts these were
Brown and Smith; in Connecticut, Smith;
in Pennsylvania, Smith and Williams,
and in North Carolina. Smith and Jones.
In those days the Smiths predominated.
The 1890 census also showed eight sur
names leading the lists in New York;
they are still leading today. They we're
and are Smith, Brown, Davis, Jones!
johnson, Clark, Miller and Wilson. Then
the Smiths topped the list with over
5000 families; today there are over 3d.
600 Smith families in that state.
There were many other interesting
things revealed by the first or original
census. For example, there was one
case where the first name on the list Of
a certain village was Expect Little"
A list from another town went to the
opposite extreme for the first name APP
pearing on It was Hope Mulch" There
was also a child named Lively Smart, but
unfortunately she died in infancy. De-
sire Gore was by no means bloOdthirsty
person, az her name would indicate, be-
cause she refused a number of wouId-be-
suitors and married, they say, an ex-
tremely nice yUun oman. Ibid.

AS Usual; Harrington
Counts the Votes and
Announces His Victory

SPRINGFIELp, ILL.,, Dec. THE
Harrington machine has announced
how many votes they would admit
were for compelling Frank to hold the
regular district convention of district
II as per the constitution of the I'm
tied Mine Workers of Illinois. Far
rington says that only IL locals with
membership of 6,193 voted against
his proposal to postpone the conven-
ton until 1877, while he says Is locals
voted to postpone it, and these have
20,6 members.
That Harrington is stealing votes as
usual may be expected in view of the
fact that he is deadly afraid of con-
vention at this time. Also, indications
are that a great many more miners
locals are against the postponement
than are reported.
Local 705 and local 912 both have
turned down the proposal to postpone,
and it would be strange If harrington
could count straight at any time in
his life, particularly when he stands
to win by crooked counting.

long as the marine workers are divid-
ed using individual action instead of
cooperation and solidarity.
Planned for Nine Months.
The delegates at the first confer
ence of Marine Transport Workers of
the Western Hemisphere decided un-
animously to call a second conference
to be held at Havana, Cuba, on JAM
nuary 15, 1926. Shortly after this de-
cision was reached by the delegates
the main Office of l. U. No. $40 sent
out an appeal to the 81 unions in the
Western Hemisphere, to send dele
gates to the Havana conference. Many
replies were received that showed a
favorable attitude and a willingness
of the membership of the various
unions to discuss plan for interna-
tional solidarity by sending official
delegates to the conference.
The seamen of the world will make
great strides forward if this confer
ence is successful and therefore it is
up to all who have the interest of the
seamen at heart to see that nothing
that will mar or prevent a successful
termination of this conference is al
lowed to happen, if it is in the power
Of those concerned to prevent it.
Changed to Montevideo.
Bearing this in mind, we find thai
it is absolutely necessary to postpone
the conference until March Is, 1926
and that the place of holding such
conference be changed from Havana
Cuba to Montevideo, Uruguay. The
reason for this action on our part
is due to our inability to communi
cate with the various labor groups
in Cuba, due to the recent persecu
tions and also to the immigration re
strictions at present existing there.
Montevideo is an open port and
delegates to the conference will have
no trouble landing there. The post
ponement Of the conference for a
sixty-day period will enable the
unions concerned more time to pre-
pare for the conference and allow fol
their arrival at Montevideo.

to send somebody to straighten the

Russian Anthracite
Furnishes a Lie
BY A Worker Correspondents

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. r.
Philadelphia papers, and many OF
those in the anthracite region, have
been running all sorts of yarns to
brighten the striking anthracite min
ers back to work.
They have recently hit upon new
one, designed to kill two birds with
one stone That is, to arouse hatred
toward the workers of Soviet Russia
an dthe Soviet government, and to
scare the hard coal diggers at one
and the same time.
Another "5olsheVik Atroclty."
A recent issue Of a Philadelphia
capitalist sheet, for example, features
story saying that 100000 tons of
Russian anthracite" is already loaded
at Riga on the Baltic for transporta-
ton to Philadelphia and will land
sometime in December.
The paper carefully leaves all exact
data on this alleged shipment com
pletely out. All it says is that This
shipment is being brought here by a
syndicate of independent coal opera
tors whose mines have been closed
by the strike"
No Facts Given.
This does not tell anybody anything,
either how it has been purchased, di-
rect from the Soviet governmental
at all,--or thru re-purchase from some
third party, what boats are bringing
it, who is the responsible persons
connected with this alleged syndicate
of operators" or any other supposed
facts.
The reason these data are not told
is clear-there is no such coal being
shipped from Soviet Russiai Coal
dealers might import coal, but hardly
ever are operators, mythically "inde-
pendent" going to do such things.
Neither is the Soviet government
going to part with 100000 tons of
anthracite" to any unknown destina-
ton where there is coal strike on
in foreign parts.
Moreover, the Russian miners have
something to say about this sort of
thing. Finally, any coal from Soviet
Russia comes out, if it comes at all,
chru the south by way OF Black Sea
ports, not north thru Riga
If anyone still believes the lie they
can watch the coal pier at Philadel-
phia and starve to death waiting for
that imaginary fleet of coal ships
loaded with Russian anthracite"
