What James B. Mcnamara ,lifer in
San Quentin, thinks of the reaction
aries in the American trade union
movement is pungently stated in the
October issue of the Labor Defender.
monthly organ of the International La
Dor Defense, published at % South
Lincoln street, Chicago.
Writing to James P. Cannon, secre-
tary of the /. L. d., Mcnamara says:
Il have received a check for five
dollars, which is the 10th monthly
prisoners relief / feel very grateful
for same and if never receive any
more / shall always keep it in mind
for il is far more than the respectable
leaders of the trade union movement
have done in more than fourteen
years. With very few exceptions
what a Shiny bunch they are. | often
wonder if they cannot see where their
policy, or program, or whatever they
call it, is leading them, or are they
too stupid to see it?
New Leadership Wanted.
ut is an awful thing to find fault
and criticise, but when all the organ
lied forces of society have, and stand
ready to use force against all the
workers, and Green, mixing with those
forces, condemns the general strike,
one is justified in finding fault and
criticising. The workers must respond
to a new leadership or all the sacri-
fees made BY. the workers in the pabt
forty years are. lost.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-The city in
~ which the American Federation of
Labor is holding It's convention Is 81
per cent open shop, only 10000 out of
100000 workers being employed in
strictly closed shop establishments.
according to John Lester Dryden, pres
ldent Detroit Employers Association,
addressing the openshop session of the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers at its 91st annual meeting in the
Wsldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York.
Wages are higher, shop conditions
are better" than In other cities, Dry
den declared. "Detroit's prosperity is
due entirely TO the right theory of in
dustrial Notwithstanding the open
shop. 1--WE have almost ideal labor
conditions, thanks to our board of
commerce, citizens committee, build

ton"
Cite British Report.
DOTH Dryden and John Henry Ham
- mond of Brown Bros. C Co., chair
man of Bangor & Aroostook Railway,
devoted large chunks of their prepared
speeches to growing over the report of
the so-called labor delegation which
visited America at the expense of the
London Daily Mail. Dryden quoted
the complimentary bouquets attributed
to this delegation in reference to the
openshop automobile metropolis. Ham
mond, citing long passages Of the
British report, remarked:
TT is difficult to believe you are
l. reading a report Of a trade union
delegation and not that of delegation
of bankers" The report emphasizes
the lack of the class war spirit in the
United States, the Importance Of the
sale of corporation stock to employees,
and the weakness OF trade unions
here, particularly in the metal trades.
There is much about Cooperation
and fellowship" between capitalist and
worker, which Hammond heartily en-
dorsed. Il is we'll known that the Brit

a petition from the war veterans has aroused deep resentment and one of the chief objects of the club will be 10 have that discrimination against the veterans removed and to aid in the election of members of the city government that will not betray their trust by allowing and endorsing such q gross violation of the trust imposed on their successors by the city government of 1919."
 The principles of the club, in a statement released this morning. are as follows:
 "Whereas there are many public questions that affect the welfare of the war veterans of the United States that are decided in the field of politics, a field, that, for very good reasons the various war veter- ans organization, being essentially patriotic and non-political in their character. cannot enter 10 give ef- feet to their views and act in col lective manner. This leaves the regular war veterans organization the power only 10 declare what measures they desire. but helpless to take any action at the polls to help them or the candidates that favor them.
 As we believe it is the bounden

patriotic duty of every citizen to take an active part in the civic and political life of his community, state and nation and as the war veterans are second 10 none in that duty of good citizenship, we feel 1t an im- perative duty a patriotic duty to our country and our comrades that we as waTveterans organize so that we can take an active part in the civic and political life of our na- ton. that we can act as large unit collectively to support or reject candidates for public office accord ing to their attitude of friendIiness or unfriendlin9ss to our measures or members at our elections.
 Therefore, we war veterans de- clare that united political action is necessary to secure fair and just treatment and remove discrimina- tion against us and to that end we organize and become members of the Bristol War Veterans Civic ac- ton club and devote ourselves 10 the cause of good clean honest govern ment and just law enforcement, and we further declare that the mem bership in this club shall be open to all war veterans of any war of the United States, no matter where he served in camp or overseas and the

 Nine Years an Invalid

That's just what McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets did for the Babcock girl-and is doing as much for tens of thousands of thin. underweight, weak and discouraged people all over America
 These sugar coated, pleasant to take tablets should be given to chill dren instead of the vile stomach up- setting oil itself-they surely do help the frail, delicate little ones and 60 tablets cost but GO cents, at any druggists.
 Read this letter if you have a child that needs to gain health and strength
 My little girl was stricken with infantile paralysis when she was 5 months old and was an invalid for years-when I saw an ad in the paper that McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets would build up wasted tissues.

 To local pride on the part of state officials he attributed the dissemin- ation of early reports that southern Florida was not suffering as grave ly as had been pictured, reports which drew from Chairman Payne the statement that Florida officials and real estate operators practically had nullif1ed the effort to raise a s5,- 000,000 relief fund.
 The difference, Fieser said, had confused the people of the United States as to the aid that was re- quired. Without this misunder- standing, "the first time in the his tory of the Red Cross that confu- sion has blocked prompt contribu- ton of the full amount asked" he expressed confidence that "the s5,- 900, ,0OO, and more, would nave peeH subscribed a week ago.
 With the s3,000.oo0 already col lected, the Red Cross can help a certain number of the 1S,000 fami- lies rendered homeless, he contin- ued, while other officials of the or ganization expressed the hope that the remaining s2,000.000 desired would be raised before the end of the week.
 Fieser said that he did not be lieve that Governor Martin believes there Is no need, but if he wants to say that that is up to him." add ing that he had observed no friction in relief work on the ground but that "every one had their sleeves rolled up and were cooperating in fine spirit"

Russions Reported to Have Taken Formal Posses sion of Lonely Island in the Arctic Ocean.

New York, Oct. 4 F-Advices from Tokyo say that the American and British flags have been lowered and the red banner Of Soviet Rus sia raised over the barren bit of ice- locked land in the Arctic ocean, 400 miles west of the northern entrance to Boring Strait known as Wrangel Island.
 The Russian volunteer fleet steam CT Stavropol, according to a dis patch to the Nichi Nichi, has put into Hakodate, Japan, after having visited the island, lowered the flags and placed fifty Russians on 1t as colony. A survey showed that the island had an area of 1925 square miles. Fur bearing animals, includ- ing bear and fox were found. but vegetation was scarce.
 Wrangel Island, which Is about the size of the island of Jamaica, dominates northeastern Siberia, off the coast of which it lies in the Arc tic about 100 miles. Since 1t was discovered by the British in 1S49 the island had been occupied in turn by Americans, Russians and British. In 1921 Valhjalmar Stefansson, the explorer, sent out an expedition, in- cluding citizens of the United States, which hoisted the British flag. The American members of the expedition were E. L. Knight of Oregon. Fred erick Maurer Of Ohio and Milton Galle of Texas. Stefansson was not with the expedition, which was headed by Allan Crawford. son of Professor Crawford Of Toronto uni versity.
 The British government gave no assistance to the expedition, and the

otherwise they might have won.
 The Pawnees' offense was built iaround a passing attack for which all four backs are trained, and would have worked had 1t not been for the fumbles. Their straight ahead play with Turner bucking the line was more successful. Turner and Collossa bore the frunt of the ball-carrying with Deldoning was most effective at interference. With three minutes to go, the Pawnees threatened to score but the distance to go was too great. The sensation of the game was Colossa's 35-yard run for a touchdown in the first quarter. It was a splendid play and saved the day for the orange and black.
 A gay crowd of visitors assem- bled on each side of the field. en- couraging the respective teams. 4 good crowd of the fair sex, with the orange and black colors much in evidence, were present, cheering the i locals on.
 Middletown Tufts played very good game, using the huddle sys- tenn. Their quarterback was little brittle for running with the ball. They showed up best at bucking the line. Gerolami, carrying the ball through center from Pawnees' 3 yard line on the fourth dawn in the second quarter. made the score even. The kick for points being a failure. helped the visitors to breathe cas- fer.
 Both teams were weak at catching lost art.

 Dr. Hill Advises

Special privileges to the aged and inflrm members of the South Con- gregational church who wish to at tend the Sunday evening motion pie lures, have been offered by the church officials. The privileges con- slst of special passes whereby those who are not physically able to con- pete with waiting crowds will be permitted to enter through the Arch street entrance before the main doors are opened.
 The first motion picture service of the season was held last evening, when Edna Ferber's 50 Big" open ed the season. The great success full qualities of life, are always the simple qualities" according to Rev. Dr. George w. C. Hill, in his ser mon In connection with this pie ture. "Bigness is relative" he said, The man who is big in his home town, ofttimes shrinks a great deal in bigger places.
 Many of us like to have people think we are big. We grow chesty about 1t. In our opinion the great est sin 1, the sin of being found out. The strength and power of a man morally is the measure of bigness in a man.
 There are people walking the streets of New Britain as we'll as other cities, where others look up to them and think they are pretty big men and are doing great things. If you only got around where you could see them as they really are, you would find out how big they are"
 There were between 700 and 800 people present.

WAR VETS ORGANIZE
 POLITICAL SOCIETY
Bristol Men Decide to Have
 Voice in Town Affairs
fSreciaI 10 the EeraldD

Bristol, Oct. At meeting attended by number Of war vet erans Of the city. the much talked Of political organization of war vet erans was formed and temporary of flcers elected as follows: President, Thomas P. Cahill; senior vice-presi- dent, George R, Stanwood; junior vice president, Paul V. Rosen. The officers. together with William T, Leishman, will constitute an execu- tive committee that will be in- creased in numbers a little later.
 The name of the new political or ganization Is the War Veterans Civic Action club of Bristol. President Cahill, when questioned this morn ing regarding the primary reason for the clubs formation, made the fol- lowing statement:
 "The shabby treatment of the vet erans by the political ring that con- trols the club rooms furnished by the city in 1919 for the use of the veterans from which the Veterans of Foreign Wars have been exclud- cd for years, has been the real cause for organizing the club. The mem- bers recognize that the city officials, evidently controlled or influenced by the political ring, dare not offend them by ordering the rooms to be opened to all the war veterans The city government has had petition before it from Harold F. Emmett Post, V. F. W. since last spring to take action on 1t, but 1t has been pigeonholed In committee and smothered there.
 This contemptuous treatment of

nature of 1t was not disclosed to that government until 1922 when Stef- ansson went to Ottawa and told Premier Mackenzie King that the flag of Great Britain had been rais- ed over the island. Crawford when he landed on the island issued a proclamation announcing that it had been taken over for Great Britain.
 In 1923 news came that Crawford and his party had perished. An Eskimo woman named Ada Black jack was the only one of the party who survived. When she was brought back to Nome, Alaska, by a vessel which had been sent out with supplies for the expedition she said that in the fall of 1922 Crawford, Maurer and Galle went out on the ice seeking the mainland and never returned. Knight died of scurvy in June, 1928. His body was brought back by the expedition, headed by Captain Harold Noice, which rescued Ada.
 After the Stefansson expedition raised the British flag the state de- partment at Washington held that the island was the property of the United States. Russia always claim ed the island and protested to Great Britain.
 In 1924 Soviet ships landed on the island and hoisted the red flag. and removed a colony. consisting Of thirteen Eskimos and Charles Wells to Nome, who were left there as an American colony by Noice after he found that the Crawford expedition had perished. The crew of the So- viet transport Red October confis- cated the stores of furs belonging to the colony.
 Washington dispatches at the time said the developments on Wrangel Island would hardly alter the Wash ington governments attitude in non- interference on the question of own ership of the island. Later the Wells party left the island. Wells died of pneumonia in Vladivostok in 1925.
