George A. Rood's account to the Associa-
ted Press:
We got away from Provincetown at
Z q n. and ran cut 10 a point about p
miles to the ncrthward. We then made
a quick dive Ct so feet, adjusted the bal
last and went to ITO feet, where the bal
last was again adjusted. This was ne
cessary on account Of the compression Of
the water against the hull. which de-
creased the kuoyarcy Of the ship and
was the equivalent of making it heavier.
Then the vessel went 2l5 feet, the
ballast was once more adjusted ard ran
for half an hour at 5 knots an hour at
depths ranging from 215 10 go feet.
The vi, by rhe way, went to 204 feet, SO
ours is a record for Y class submarines.
Handled Extremely Well
During the run all apparatus was tried
out, including the torpedo tubes, pumps
and other machinery. Everything was
O h., and the only casually was the
breaking Of a low pressure blow lire Ia
pipe running from a ballast tank, which
collapsed unier the water pressure, This
had no effect on the vessel, however, and
she handled extremely we'll throughout
the test. The DETECTION Of the hull due
to the pressure was very slight.
AT The conclusion Of all the tests. the
submarine rose to the so foot level, and
when the periscope showed all clear we
rose to the surface. | consider the test
to have been a great success"
50 Men In Crew
This completes the shakedown voyage
of the w, one of the six vessels being
built. The Va will be completed here
by next June, two other V boats will be
built here and the sixth of the class will
be constructed at Mare Island, Calf
The w will stay ere for alterations
and hen will join the feet
The w made a hurried run back to
Portsmouth after her test because a few
of the officers and men, SO in all, were
suffering from Influenza. 1t was beIieg-
ed that their condition was not serious.
The depth attained today will not again
be required by the submarine, for navy
regulations forbid going more than 100
feet or so beneath the surface. Today's
was the snprvme test
Navy men recalled today that the
greatest depth ever reached by an Amer
lean submarine was 315 feet, but this was
by accident. Lieutenant-C Commander
Lewis Hancock, j., took the La to that
depth in the Irish sea during the war
when something went wrong with the
ballast He survived the experience but
was killed in the crash Of the dirigibIe
Shenandoah In Ohio last September.

FREE HOSPITAL
SHUTS DOORS TO
STRIKING MINERS
ey A Worker c0rrespondent

SCRANTON, Pa. Jan. 12.-In Scran-
ton, Pa, the town where the police
beat up striking miners daily, the
doors of the free hospital, the Moses
Taylor Hospital, is closed to them.
The Moses Taylor Hospital is free
hospital for the use of the miners and
railroad workers of the D. L. & w
railroad, but it is closed to those work
ers, their wives and children when
ever they are on strike. Just now the
nurses at the Moses Taylor have moth
ing to do, waiting for the big rush
when the strike will have been set
tied.
The Moses Taylor Hospital bears
the name of the plutocrat who endow-
ed it. Moses Taylor was a millionaire
capitalist, the owner of the Glenn AL
den Coal Co. and the Scranton Coal
Co., and he also has investments in
several other mines in the vicinity.
Not satisfied with the profits from his
mining investments, Moses Taylor
also had considerable shares in the
D. L. & w. railroad. He amassed his
millions from the blood and toll of
his mine slaves.
Moses Taylor being willy, old scoun-
drel and true to his class interests,
insured his grip on the slaves that
toll for him by conditioning the use of
his hospital to the workers only if
they refrain from striking. The heroic
strikers must see the suffering Of their
wives and babies without the POSSIBLE
ity of hospital assistance while they
are putting forth their fight to secure
decent living conditions for their loved
ones.
The bosses will stop at nothing to
break the morale of their deadly enc.
mics: the class conscious workers.
For about four months the Moses Tay-
lor Hospital has shut it's doors in the
faces of the anthracite strikers.

Many of the divisions are more than

This same rate of pay is in effect

by giving one more work to do.

TOXIC, Jan. 12.- About 200 young

were quartered in the dormitory OF

of going to the Sunday school where

their time debating issues that con-
front them and singing revolutionary
songs. '+'

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.--Office work
ers are among the lowest paid and
among the most exploited. To prove
the above one should read the wage
statistics compiled by the railroads.
Railroads employ the greatest num-
Der OF Office workers. Banks and other
public service utilities come next in
number of office workers and the
wages paid are not higher. When a
comparison is made with other work
ers office workers earn less, because
they must dress in 1,oftice clothes"
and maintain polished responsibility
on meager wages. -gi13 gH
The American Illusion.
What enables the employers to ex-
plot several million office workers at
starvation wages and at the same
lime receive 100 per cent loyalty from
heir workers, is the illusion of "un-
limited Opportunities AOl thOoO VIM
plug hard and stay in one place and
never watch the clock" From the
time near-sighted parent places his
child in a .head-fxing commercial
school, to the time the finished article
takes a $1,000 a week job as a filing
clerk, the opportunity" theory is
deeply imbedded. The illusion lasts
until the worker starts changing jobs
and finds out that on every new job
he must start from the bottom and It
told that he must work up"
The Greatest Predicament.
Under the worst open shop condi
lions, a mechanic gets recognition for
the number of years he spent in the
trade and he starts work at a certain
competent mechanics wage, while an
office worker coming to new firm
must start at the bottom. Long serv
ice in one place counts for nothing
when a change comes. While a mech
anic improves his skill with years Of
concentration in one line, the Office
workers lessons his market wage

copper Industry in
Michigan Has Declined
Since Loss of Strike
eyl A Worker corrsspondent

HANCOCK, Mich, Jan. 12.--In the
Michigan copper district there are two
outstanding facts at the present time.
One is the low wages of the copper
miners and the other the decline Of
the copper industry.
The copper country used to be the
greatest copper producer in the world
in the last decade of the ninteenth cen
fury. The copper production has pas
sed its zenith here and is declining,
and other copper districts have taken
its place as greater producers. This
decline was greatly accelerated by the
copper strike of 1914. The best and
most competent miners, who were
active during the strike, were driven
away from the district due to the
savage treatment of the miners after
the strike. These miners kept cows,
had small patches of ground to raise
garden truck to supplement their
wages and many of their wives took
washing and did other odd jobs in
town. But they are gone and the
mining companies have not been able
to get such miners since the strike.
The copper barons have not been
able to organize their working forces
because they have not succeeded in
getting able and experienced min
ers since the strike. The various
accidents in the local mines have
proven this. A short time ago a
miner was "accidently" killed by
electrocution, partly due to his mex
perience and partly to negligence by
the company.
Whatever miners are here now are
not organized This is due to two
factors. The industrial workers stay
here only short time to earn enough
to get back somewhere else. The
Industrial workers either go TO the
neighboring towns to work for Henry
Ford or go to other industrial centers
where they get better pay.

value by long service. He must stay
with one firm to hold his higher rate
and whenever the boss wills, he can
get new skilled office workers to start
from the bottom.
Labor Unions.
The Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks
was largely born during the war.
Since government control has been
discarded, company unions have eaten
ike a cancer into the b. of R. G. and
the war-baby remains a helpless
dwarf in the hands of the reactionary
labor apologists. The word strike is
as foreign to them as Chinese, and
many general chairmen of the unions
become officials in the payroll depart
ments of railroads.
The Office Workers Union, made up
as it is, from workers in many indus
tries, is by its very nature unable to
call strike and is impotent.
To improve the situation Office
workers will have to organize and get
into the unions of the industries they
are employed in, as Office nuclei and
fight on the industrial and political
field with the industries they are
working in. The present superiority
complex of the Office workers, isolates
them from the more conscious work
ers and results in lower wages.
