break the solidarity of the walkout by
ordering the men to go back to work

show his face in the meeting hall, and
it is said he is not now in Chicago.
Berry sent instead two of his vice

they were howled down by the union

The meeting of Local Number 3,

Dusty looking automobiles from as
far west as Ohio, as far south as
Georgia, and as far north as New

bringing the advance guard of the
thousands who will participate in the

Of the ku klux khan. Tourists camps
filed up rapidly, and attaches at the
klan's local headquarters were busy
giving directions to new arrivals.

rounding the whole khan demonstra-

5000 or 5000" will be present, mas

will be turned off into B street and
just miss the White House. 1t will be
one of the strangest parades that his
toric old Pennsylvania avenue, which
has echoed to all sorts of professions,
has ever witnessed, and indications
were today that capacity crowd will
be on hand to see the show.

AS WE SEE 1T
BY r. J. o'FLAHERTY

CtEVERAL American aviators recent
- ly volunteered to serve with the
French in killing the Ritlan tribes
men IN northern Africa who are COM
uniting the crime Of fighting for the
freedom of their country from foreign
rule. Judging by the publicity given
thosa super-scabs, one would imagine
,hev had offered themselves for some
noble service that would Deneft the
human race. We often hear the ex-
preston: like father like SON." This
seems to apply particularly to Charles
Sweeney, on of those aviators.
yrHIS morning, worker from Spo-
i kane. Washington, walked into
the office and informed me that Swee-
news father was the principal scab-
herder in the great Cour d. Alene
strike, in Idaho, in 1902, during which
the workers were given an object les
son in capitalist government by hav-
ing to face the guns Of the federal
troops. This star fink's progeny is in
every way as degenerate as his father.
We are not wishing him any i'll luck,
bnt il Rffian bullet should pierce
his filthy carcass, we would not envy
the bullet that had to do the dirty
work.
TT is not surprising that the Amerl-
i can capitalist press should glorify
those MASTERS and worthy sons of de-
generate sires who join in ruthless
campaign to keep a gallant people in
slavery. Did not one Of the. favorite
pedagogues of American Imperialism,
former President Eliot or Harvard
University say that the "scab is the
finest type of American citizenF
Thus the mantle of responsibility is
thrown around the shoulders of the
most contemplate kind of person
whether breaking strikes OF indus
trial workers or breaking the strug-
giles of small nationalities, the Ameri-
can scab will always find generous
space and honor in the capitalist
press.
TESTIFYING before the interstate
i commerce commission last week,
Fl. NJ. Griggs of Cleveland, formerly
coal and ore traffic official of the New
York Central, said that the railroads
gave special rates to non-union coal
operators thus discriminating against
union mines When union operators
give the higher wages paid to union
coal miners as the reason for the al
legged reduction in earning capacity OF
those mines, they are careful not to
mention the part played by railroad
rates. AS matter of fact, many OF
the rail owners also own big mining
properties, and make double profits.
TrALK about interlocking director

amples Of this system. m recent

shown as making big profits while
others do not show such good re-
turns. But it develops that most OF
the roads belong to the same group
