Lions Club Members
Hear Talk on
TOrnadOes Tuesday

TOrnados and their peculiarities
was the subject chosen last evening
by Prof. Edward II. Perkins, professor
Of geology at Colby. in his talk before
the Waterville Lions Club. The in
formation conveyed by Prof. Perkins
was very timely and also proved very
entertaining. especially so as he as
sured the club that Maine was a very
healthy place to live in and residents
would not be troubled by such wind
storm, at least not often. The Inter-
national Lions Club is now engaged
in an attendance contest and the Wa
terville club celebrated last evening
with 100 per cent. present.

USE GAS BOMBS
BLACKJACKS AND
GUNS ON PICKETS
Arrest 12-Year-Old Girl
in West Virginia
By Worker correspondent 5. W. S.

BY Worker Correspondent S, w. 5.
Submission, w Va, August g.
Theresa Lasko, Maggie Kerowleski,
and little IL year old Caroline Serento
were arrested on the picket line at
Jamison No. 8. They were arrested
by State Policeman o. E. Banks and
taken before Erwin Jenkins, Justice
or the peace. Then our constable, Mr..
Minor, was called from his work at
Jamison No. to lock them up in the
city jail
Kept Without Water.
They were arrested at GAS in the
morning. They demanded breakfast
but none came. Later in the day they
were given some sandwiches and cot
fee. All day they were kept there
without drink of water in musty,
filthy old cell. The three of them
were in a tiny room with hardly space
TO turn around. In the evening they
got no supper.
The bond was offered for the pris-
oners, the constable, Mr.. Minor, said
he couldn't be bothered as he had to
sleep all day-he worked that night
at Jamison No. 8.
The next day they we're released on
bail and were on the picket line again.
Returning home they passed the COM
pany store. A Chevrolet car was
parked about 10 feet from the county
road. In 1t we're two mine guards, one
Joseph Golden and Downey. Another
o.. r. Ruth was on the county road.
They shot gas bombs in the faces of
all the women and little children.
When one of the pickets said he
would have them arrested for that
the chief guard called his guards to-
gether and armed with rifles, revolv-
ers and black jacks followed us up
the road using profane language be-
fore women and little children. That
is lawful treatment of workers under
capitalism.
Clark Dobbie claims he made an
investigation. How could Dobbie know
anything about the gas bombs when
he was at home in bed? One women,
Mrs. Julie Senento, is sick in bed and
under doctors care, from the affects
of the gas. If Dobbie doesn't believe
it and wants proof, he can have it.

sition in the miners, union.
"He, harrington, stated that
Thompson, Watt, and Parry, have
no right to accept donations from
the miners In Illinois to expose the
rotteness in District No. H."
This statement is very interesting
in view of the following correspond
enc between Halapy and Harrington.
(copy of Lottery
January ~, 1921.
"Mr. Frank harrington,
"District IL, U. NV. Of a.

"Dear Sir and Brother:
I'VE are appealing thru you to the
members of District No. IL, for sup.
port, both moral and financial. Every
principle of the U. M. w. of A. has,
and is being fagrantly violated, in
this district. Facts and affidavits now
on file are beyond dispute to prove
the above assertion. and we sincerely
believe that if our committee receives
the financial aid that they will be able
to purge the U. M. w. of A. of the
many thieves and corruptionists from
longer conducting their nefarious
work. The U. M. w. A. cannot en-
dure and thrive under the practices
now in vogue in this district, and can
only result if continued, in making
the men, women and children of the
mine workers practically slaves.
1--WE are compelled to appeal to you
by reason of the fact that the powers
that be in this district have threat
ened the membership with expulsion
il any contributions are made to this
cause. We therefore ask you to issue
a circular for financial aid from your
Office by endorsing this letter and
sending it to all your locals. Very
respectfully yours"
MICHAEL HALAPY, President"
This letter asked harrington to do
the very same thing that Joe Tumulty
asked the Illinois miners to do and for
the same purpose exactly, the only
difference being that in this case, the
rottenness was in Illinois instead of
Pennsylvania. 1t will be- seen that
Frank held it to be illegal in the Illi-
nois case but legal in PENNSYLVANIA.
