skeleton be decently buried.
Mr.. Fry is quite sure that The
bones had been in the pasture moi
more than six weeks or two months
because he had been along past the
place where he found the bones some
time previous and no bones were
there
On one of the thigh bones the
name, "Rlfe," had been written
with pen or pencil. Inquiry around
Osakis developed that mo one knows
anything about the bones and it may
be that they were thrown into the
pasture from some passing automo-
bile. -.
Since the above was in type more
skeletons have been discovered near
where the first ones were found.
Some of the newly discovered bones
had been partly burned. 1t is thought
that the bones are parts of four diff
erent bodies. The bones were
brought to Long Prairie yesterday
and delivered to Sheriff
Burns. While the discovery of these
seven or eight skeletons has caused
some excitement, it is quite probable
that there is nothing about the Incl
dent indicating a crime. They seem
be the skeletons used by some ply
stefan and were discarded in the man
ner described. There is no clue, how
ever, to who left the skeletons in the

This new class collaboration
scheme is in the from Of dance So
Gals given under the direction of
the superintendent of personnel.
The expense Of these affairs,
which are given In rented halls, is
borne by the conductors and motor
men thru collection at the various
car barns. The men are checked off
as they donate. Those who do not
contribute are called into the super
intendent's office the next day, and
asked if they would like to donate
to the dance fund.
In such a situation the men have
no alternative. II Is either a case
Of donate or have yourself put on
the black list by the superintendent,
to be prosecuted In the future.
Some of the bosses attend these
dances to create an impression that
they are Interested In the workers

(Worker Correspondent

PASSAIC, N. j., March IS - The
working conditions in the New Jersey
spinning mill is something awful. The
ladies' room is not fit for animals,
but it is honored, with toilet super
intendent.
We can not go into the ladies' room
without someone spying on us, and if
you want to know who that spy is
l will tell you that it is the night
superintendent. We can't go into the
toilet without his coming in there,
and shopping around.
The toilet is filthy place with
water on the floor and wool and oil
and dirt all over the place.
There are only three side tenders
to four sides when there should be
four. And yet We got our wages cut.
And If sometimes we get good wool
so we can stand and look for little
while, that toilet superintendent
comes around and stares at us and
tells us to keep moving.
We have no lunch hour, but have
to eat while we work, and cannot even
go out for a bit of fresh afr, or so
much as stand for a moment without
that toilet superintendent watching
us. a2W

lick Teneski, a notorious embezzler Of

Frank Harrington, has been refused
admittance into the Miners Union by
Local Union No. 494, by vote of "a

district union warned the local I'M

showed by its vote that 1t is out to

Tenesh is the gentleman who
stole S1,400 from the union for bury
ing members who are still living. The
district union has a death benefit
whereby it pays $3.50 for burial to
the dead member. Teneski was finan-
cial secretary of a local union and
he would forge death certificate and
with the aid of the district officials
would collect the death benefit. He
was exposed by his local union and

victed to 10 years in a state peni-
Tertiary.
After few months in the peniten-
tiary, the wheels Of Farrington's cor
rupt machine began to move, and
Teneski was pardoned by Gov. Small.
Then Teneski was employed at the
Capitol Mine by Supt. Smith upon the
recommendation of A. D. Lewis, state
appointee of Gov. Small and brother
of John L. Lewis, the president OF
the International Union.
It is thru this same A. d. Lewis,
the director of the state department
Of mines and minerals, that eight
members of Farrington's district exc
cutive board and three of Farrington's
sub-district officials, received their
state certificates for first class mine
managers. Evidently, these labor
takers are beginning to realize that
the progressive miners are determir-
ed in their work Of cleaning out the
corruption and so these labor takers
are preparing themselves to serve the
coal operators.

PASSAIC, N. j., March Is - In the
early days when slaves existed they
were forced to work from ~ to IS
hours a day. These conditions still
exist in the textile mills Of Passaic
and vicinity.
We are not going to be driven
about the mills by the textile barons
like herd Of sheep. They have blind
ed us enough. We are not going to
stand for that slave driving business.
Now we are on strike and we are
going to show the rest of the textile
industry and labor organizations that
we are going to fight these textile
barons till we win.

PASSAIC, N. j., March IS - Forst-

is composed of bosses, a foreman and
few workers.
The workers are there as orna-

mouths because the foreman and boss
are standing there taking note OF all
that is being said, and ready to pick
on them.
When the United Front Committee
Of Textile Workers sent in their de-

and ten per cent increase they tore
these demands to pieces. And these

Keep Up the Fight,
Says Trade Unionist
to Passaic Strikers
ey a worker correspondent

AS trade unionist who is inter-
ested in your cause have nothing
but admiration for the splendid fight
you are making.
Don't be fooled by the statement
made by Mr.. Johnstohe. He says he
will deal with only bona fide unions.
We know how the unions are treated
when they really do work in these
mills. When their delegates go there,
they are guarded all the time they
are in the mills. suppose they are
scared they might talk union to you.
These mill owners will employ only
non-union men for maintenance work
and any efforts made by unions in
the past to get union conditions have
been met with the opposition OF men
like Col. tombstone. SO men and wo-
men stand together, II is not you as
individuals, nor your organizer the
bosses hate, II Is your union.
