MINER KILLED BY
WIRES TOO RISKY
FOR MINE RULES
harrington Drives Men
Into Electrocution
Especial to The Daily worker.)

COLLINSVILLE. Ill. June IA
Collinsville miner, whose name our
correspondent was not able to learn
at this writing. was electrocuted by a
trolley wire while he was preparing
to leave by trolley for the bottom at
Lumaghi Coal company No. 2. The
mine officials and the state mine in
spector knew very we'll that this kind
Of transportation is dangerous to the
life of the miners.
A month ago the mine manager
stopped using battery motors for tran
sportation of the miners to and from
work places, and began to use trolley
power-a dangerous thing to use for
transporting miners in steel cars. A
falling wire may electrocute the whole
car full of miners.
Protect Mules-Not Miners
When the miners asked the man.
ager what the idea was of using such
dangerous means, he replied that the
state mining law allowed. When
asked why he had not used trolley be-
fore, If 1t was allowed, he said, well
before this we used mules, and we
were afraid that If we used trolley
transportation. the mules would be
electrocuted. Now that we don't use
mules we can change from battery to
trolley wire motor" Thus we see
that the operators took more care of
their mules than of the miners lives.
So the miners refused to ride in the
trolley. But the sub-distrlct officials
advised that we go ahead and ride in
them while they looked up provisions
on protection from trolley danger in
the mine and mineral department and
consulted the state officials. But moth
ing was done. harrington sent letter
to the local In which he stated that
III the state mine laws allowed, the
mine has a right to use trolley"
When the miner was electroouted.
the danger of trolley transportation
was well shown to the miners. So
they refused again to ride in the cars
and went back home from the mine
for two days.
harrington Aids In Murder
harrington sent two kilograms, bru.
tally ordering the miners to 60 back
to work. ordering that they must
either ride in the trollies or walk.
The sub-district officials added to the
intimidation. soaring the miners by
saying. "If you don't go back to work
the mine will shut down and you'll be
out OF a job. Then what1l you do?
Go back to work, like Harrington
says" Confronted with enemies all
around, the poor miners had to agree
TO go back.
Harrington has his agents in every
sub-district and local This was shown
when Sub-District No. Z, President
Jack Bill jumped up in local meet
ing and attacked a miner who COM
pared harrington to the mine bosses.
II is time for miners TO wake up and
kick out all these takers from top to
bottom OF the union.

INSURANCE BOSS
BLAMES FIRES
ON COMMUNISTS
Also Dislikes Foreign
Born and Starving

NEW YORK, June III. A. Smith,
president of the National Fire Insur-
ance Company Of Hartford, links "flre
losses to reds activities" This gentle
man declares that "a few weeks ago
there was held at Madison Square Gar
den in this city meeting Of reds-a
noisy turbulent gathering that cried
loudly for Soviet rule in America :.
Most of those present were Of foreign
birth. Deportation is obviously the
remedy of seIf-protection. This in
fIux of foreigners and the fact that the
immigrants are raising larger families
than are to be found in our native
households are two factors bound to
have an effect upon future conditions"
This gathering &. . is a symptom of
a serious condition that is growing
worse rather than better, despite the
restrictions that have been placed up
on Immigration. And this has a very
definite bearing upon the business of
fire insurance. Look over the names
of criminals being tried in the courts
every day; examine the roster Of fire
bugs and see how the great majority
bear cognomens that originated on
foreign soil. II notice that out Of
some thirty-nine persons arrested for
arson and burning to defraud only
about five had names inspiring conf
dence."
A Danger To Employers.
This wild-eyed red hunter accuses
the Communists of every imaginable
crime. He accuses them Of arson
he forgot to add that they introduced
the influenza epidemic and are guilty
Of the smallpox epidemic at the pres
ent time. They are the cause of the
innumerable auto accidents. And
there is no question that they have
originated the mine disasters-especi-
ally the recent one in North Carolina
in which II miners lost their lives.
That there are 10000 child workers
In the United States, taking the place
OF adult labor, because the children
work cheaper and less complainingly
than the adults. is another OF the
crimes of the foreign-born reds.
That this gentleman does not as
cribe the high profits of the insurance
companies and the many trusts OF the
country TO the reds is very compre-
hensible. That they threaten the div
idends and profits of the bosses of
this country is what ferries Mr.. Smith.
Yes the reds are danger-to the
employers of this country.
Children Starving.
Mr.. Smith complains that, despite
immigration restrictions, the reds are
growing in the United States. The
foreign-born have larger families-but
they do not all belong to the reds yet.
What turns the American and the for
eign-born worker towards the Com
munists? The capitalist papers de-
clared that the conditions in Bulgaria
the heavy taxes on the poor peas
ants, the unemployment, low wages,
unsteady work and long hours, were
making Bolsheviks OF the Bulgarian
workers. In other words, IL was not

revolutionary movement into Bulgaria

Mr.. Smith says that the foreign
born are guilty OF arson. But Mr..
Smith does not state which class Of
foreign-born. He knows that the for
eign-born swindlers and firebugs are
of the middle and upper classes-peo-
pie who have lost their position and
resort to crime in order not to be
compelled to do work.
One thing is notable, however, in
this statement of Mr. Smith. It clear
ly reveals that the capitalist class Of
this country is linking up everything
that is against their own interests,
with the reds-the Communists. The
capitalists are consciously carrying
on a campaign in every form against
their only enemies, the Communists.

SMALL HATS

PARIS.
CMALL hats are as inevitaoie
~ as short skirts for the spring
season. In fact, the milliners
seem to be making them smaller
than ever, after a desperate al
tempt to bring forth the big
summer hats, which really ought
to be worn when the sun shines.
New forms show Improvement
in the lines, which are softer; ana
the trimmings are less peculiar
The hat follows more closely the
natural shape of the head. The
dome crown, with the merest sug-
gestion of brim across the
front is. perhaps, the popular
shape; but as often as not there
is no brim at all. There are exotic
plaits, made high in the crown
but always with the narrow brim.
Panama and Bangkok are more
used than ever for novelty straws
in all the bright colors. Violet
and cyclamen are. favorites, with
the trimmings in pastel shades.
Straw and silk are put together
and simplicity and neatness mark
the best models.
Flowers of every description
make the hots more ornate for
dress wear. and handsome rib
bons. embroidered in many colors'
are used. Fine feathers, such as
paradise and osprey, are much in
demand. They come in natural
colors or are dyed black. Another
new feature is a long veil, tied
at the side and hanging over the
shoulder. Many models are soft
ened in front by -4arrow band Of
fine tulle that screens the eyes.
Louise Marcy mixes taffetas
with straw in a very attractive
way by working little grigles of
straw on the silk. Some of the
straw hats have gathered geor-

caught into a knob at the top.
Another has fine ribbon stream

For sports wear there are hats
of petersham ribbon and others
of felt with nothing more than
band of ribbon, or the felt. for
