Don't Think Much of
u. w. of Mcmahon in
Maynard, Mass, Mill
BY ARMAs WEST.

MAYNARD, Mass, May 25.-There
is only one industry in this town, the
Assabet Mill, owned by American
Wooden Co. The Assabet employs
three thousand one hundred opera
tives-nearly half of Maynard's popu-
lation. The factory produces only
wool.
Unionism prevails only among the
spinners and weavers, but their mem
bership is small and select. They all
are associated with the United Textile
Workers.
Last night there was mass meet
ing for the purpose of organizing all
mill workers. President Mcmahon and
Organizer T. Reagan Of U.T.W., spoke
to mass" of so to 60 workers of
Local I'll. Mcmahon stressed upon
the economy" of the employers and
reviewed the struggles of textile work.
ers since 1919. Organizer Reagan
spoke about the American Wooden
Co.'s reorganization plan, which might
reduce wages and repeal the 4S-hour
law in Massachusetts,.
asked several workers why didn't
they join the union? And all answered
that the U. T. w. in Maynard is a
company union subject to the power
of the bosses. All have been former
members. All that the U. T. w. is
doing in Maynard is collecting dues
from members ($1.00) a month.
One worker remembers when dur
ing the war several liberty bonds
were bought with the dues money.
These workers all say that radicals
are refused membership in the union
and their idea of strong union is one
industrial union and not several petty
ones. The spinners refuse member
ship to everybody unless they are
spinners.
Here's hoping for militant organiza-
ton in local I'll.

The Poor Aim of Mr.. Zeno

When the circus reached the small
Vermont town the proprietor feared
for awhile that his afternoon perform
ance might lack its chief feature. The
star of the aggregation was zeno. the
Mexican knife thrower, answering in
private life to the name of HennesSy
Twice a day Zeno. dressed in gaudy
| trappings, would enter the arena ac-
companied by his wife. a young, plump
and pretty woman in pink tights, and
| followed by d roustabout bearing a
basketball of long bOwie-knives and
shining battleaxes. While the band
| played an appropriate selection of
shivery music the young woman would
flatten herself against a background of
blue planking which had, been erected
in the middle of the ring. There she
would pose motiOnless, her arms out
stretched and her feet close together.
Then Zeno, stationing himself 40 feet
from her, would fling his knives and
axes at her, missing her each time by
the narrowest of margins. Presently
her form would be completely outlined
by the deadly steel, but such was Ze-
nos marvellous skill that she took no
hurt from the sharp blades which
pinned her fast.
But on this day Mrs. Zeno had fallen
i'll and, although the circus owner Of
fered a reward for some one who.
would take her place, he could find no
volunteers among the members of his
staff. In this emergency the invalid's
mother-WhO Dy the same token was
ZenO'S NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. who trav-
eled with the show in the capacity Of
wardrobe mistress, stepped forward
and agreed to serve as an understudy
in order that the performance might
not be marred.
The hour came Forth came ZenO,
wearing his professional scowl, slight
ly enhanced. His motherin-law, skin
ny and homely, with her hair knotted
in. a knob on her head and her daugh-
ter's fleshings hanging in loose folds
upon her bony figure, followed him
closely She plastered herself fiat
against the wooden background. Zeno
gave her look seemingly fraught with
undying hate. He took up his longest,
sharpest bowie-knife. He tested its
needle-Iike point upon his thumb. He
poised it, aimed it, flung it.
Like a javelin it hurtled on its
kissing flight through the air. Strik-
