Build the DAILY WORKER!
Jensen Uses Slick
Trick to Put Over
His Scab Agreement

Last year President Hutchinson and
Harry Jensen, president Of the car
penters' district council, signed a
lands award open shop" agreement
without consulting the membership
II took away the right to strike and
abandoned many working conditions
which were the result OF many hard
ought victories.
Now the carpenters are voting
whether or not they will accept a
compromise wage increase Of from
SLIPS to $137h per hour. Most OF the
skilled trades in Chicago have been
receiving for the past year $3.50 per
hour. This wage increase offered 10
the carpenters carries a joker with IL;
to accept the wage increase means
that they also accept the agreement.
OF course, most OF the rank and file
do not know Of this subtle maneuver.
The T. U. u. L. is carrying on
propaganda against the acceptance Of
the agreement. The DAILY WORKER,
carrying a story on the agreement,
will be sold and distributed at the
local meetings on the days on which
the vote is taken.

stupid supporters as common thugs.
night Andy Frohman, a member of Il
or sense, made lying statement to
member of No. 214O, did not want
trial.
To Be Regretted.
When the statement was branded
as a lie by Reynolds, this yellow cur
who weighs 80 pounds more than
Reynolds, broke up a chair and with
leg of it attacked Reynolds. He
got in one blow with his club and then
Reynolds and everyone in reach got
to him simultaneously. He got away
without any very serious injury, which
is to be regretted, and has since
shown no disposition to fight Hutche-
sons battles with chair legs. He is
entirely unequipped for any other sort
Of struggle.
Many old reactionaries who have
not attended meetings for years, some
with very good reasons for staying
away, are being rounded up by the
machine and used to bolster up the
autocratic rule of President Ball of
Local Union 10.
| These old harpies have all at once
! felt a supreme concern for the union,
and take the attitude that any ideas
later than 1880 or any militant strug-
gle must be fatal to the organization.
The fossils and few lickspittles such
as Shamrock and Fish constitute the
sole support of the stool-pigeon
! Botteril.
The meeting of the district council
on Thursday, Feb 5. was guarded by
three cops and watched over by
Lawler Carson of Indianapolis, who
seems to have taken up permanent
residence here. Reynolds was granted
the floor by Shamrock, in spite Of the
injunction, and read an appeal which
he is sending to Hutchinson. Rey
nolds prefaced the reading of the
appeal by branding as malicious lies
all those statements that he would
not appeal his case. or that he did
not want a trial.
He stated that the constitution for
bids the circulation of begging let
ters" and that this appeal instead of
being begging letter" was an en-
phatic demand that the constitution
be observed and his rights be
restored.
No Democracy" Here.
When Brown. of Local 214O, inquired
of the chair what steps were required
to remove the president from office,
the chair, President Shamrock, re-
fused to answer. A committee from
1871 instructed by that local to take
i, up the matter of lifting the injunction
against Reynolds was refused the
floor in case they wished to speak on
ANY phase of the Reynolds matter"
In Detroit at present, a majority in
every local union and a majority of
the delegates to the district council
are behind Reynolds in his fight for
reinstatement. In Local Union 1906
and the district council, where the
would-be czar, Shamrock, reigns as
president, this renegade and tool of
reaction blocks the will of the ma
jority by autocratic rulings from
which he recognizes no appeal.
In Local 10, an old reactionary,
President Ball. has consistently de-
feated the will of the majority by the
same method.
He is now under charges and will
be up for trial this coming week. All
other local unions have gone on
record unanimously, to support Rey-
nolds and to repudiate the unconstitu-
tional action of the general executive
board.

WHICH REMINDS US

Some trade union leaders must have
had training as baseball umpires, be-
cause
They force the workers to make at
least three strikes before they call
them out.

We referred this matter to cur traffic
department and received the following
information:
Upon inquiry find that consider
able coal from Eastern Kentucky is
used in Cedar Rapids, and a relatively
small amount of Central Illinois coal.
The reason given is that Eastern Ken
lucky coal is more efficient, and con-
sumers are demanding coal that gives
the most heat for the money invested.
The attached letter refers to rates
from Eastern Kentucky to Chicago as
being $216, however the correct rate
is $500 to Chicago. The present rate
to Cedar Rapids is $5.15 per ton via
the shortest route. This rate is high
in comparison to rates to other Iowa
points, for example, the rate to Water
loo, Marshalltown and Des Moines is
$4.53 per ton, and the rate to Mason
City is 1885 per ton. This rate dis
crepancy will be corrected.
The price of coal at Cedar Rapids
is not uniform at all dealers, but the
prevailing prices are:
Eastern Kentucky ........$11.oo
Central Illinois ............. $50
These prices include delivery at all
points in the city and placing Of coal
in consumers bins or cellar. You
will note that there Is a margin OF
about $3.50 between Eastern Kentucky
and Central Illinois coal.

Chamber of Commerce,

Here Is Reply from Bloomington,
Illinois.
December 8, 1924.
Dear SIR
We have your letter of the 9Th re-
questing information to coal used in
Bloomington. We are unable to adj
wise you the amount of coal used in
Bloomington but for your information
wish to advise the present rate from
Springfield, Illinois is SLAP per ton
and from Lincoln $1.14 per ton. Lump
coal from these two points sells at an
average of $500 per ton. The rate
from Eastern Kentucky points is 1913
to 1894 per ton and from Virginia
fields 1884 to 3.41 per ton. This coal
sells from $3.50 to $500.
In this connection we might state
that the Bloomington association of
commerce has filed with the Illinois
commerce commission a complaint
against the present rates from Spring
field and Lincoln and this case is
being heard at the present time in
Chicago. We no doubt will be gran
ted some reduction and at the present
time we are unable to state just what
rate will be granted.
Yours very truly,
Bloomington Association of Com
merce,
Il. L. Henninger, Mgr. Traffic Bureau.
And Here is a Reply Received
from Decatur, Illinois.
January 9th, 1925.
Dear SIR
AS near as we can determine there
are in the neighborhood of $4,000 tons
of Kentucky coal consumed annually
at Decatur, about one-half of this
quantity going to foundries and gas
plants, the balance being utilized in
domestic consumption. AS far as !
can determine the price Of Eastern
Kentucky coal, which is used here,
ranges from $2.75 20 sS.25 per ton and
the freight rate is from 1919 to 1894
per ton.
The price at the mine In Spring
field field, | am informed ranges from
s2.75 to $S.25 per ton and the freight
rate from Lincoln and Springfield is
s1.l0. So Ear as ! can And the mine

Mrs. Aspelund Laid to
Rest Last Saturday

Mrs. o. A. Aspelund, who passed
away September 1st, at her home
here in Plentywood, after HAVING
been confined TO her bed with paraly-
sis since last December, was placed
IN her final resting place in the Plen.
tyWood cemetery on September 5th
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Egge at the local Lutheran
church. The respect accorded her by
her many friends were plainly evil
denced by the great number of peo-
pie attending these services, as the
church was not large enough for the
audience and scores were obliged to
remain outside of the doors. The
casket was covered with beautiful
floral wreaths, which overlooked to
the sides of the casket.
A quartet rendered several song
selections and several solos were sung
by Miss Emma HOLMAN.
Mrs. Sam Winters, a sister of the
deceased, and on son, from Rib Lake,
Wis, were amongst the mourners.
Mrs. Aspelund will be greatly miss
ed by her many friends in this COM
munity and the sorrowing husband
and children have our sympathy.
