The Pumpkin Freshet
BY Mrs. Appllia vose Gilbert, King
field, Maine

Il recall the Pumpkin Freshet,' so
called, in the fall of 1869, when the
water in the Carrabassett rose to such
height that large quantities of pump
kins were carried downstream to the
Kennebec. During the freshet my un-
Gle, Jesse Vose, who owned and lived
in the house near the old Chain
Bridge while his neighbor, Solomon
Stanley. lived across the street on
higher ground.
The water rose rapidly and flooded
my uncle's premises. The story goes
that Uncle Jesse who was six feet
six inches in height, and of powerful
frame, picked up his pig. that was of
good size, from the barn cellar and
carried her across the flooded areas
The result was, he was ever after
wards joked about saving his pig be-
fore his wife.

band, the late Charles F. Gilbert, on

Strike Organization.

In every locality the unions appoint
ed strike representative. These rep
resentatives formed a local strike
committee, district strike committee
and a central strike committee. No
trouble, no necessity to argue with the
workers to get them into line. They
were prepared as if it had been re-
hearsed hundred times instead of
being the first.
The local committees controlled
most of the transport. Permits were
necessary. Everything was going
fairly we'll. Nothing doing except the
usual rumors. The workers were get
ting dug in. They were quite confident
that they were going to achieve the
greatest victory of all time.
Strike Betrayal.
And then on Wednesday noon, the
wireless message was broadcasted
Trade Union Congress General Com
mittee Strike off," No details. Tele-
grams began to arrive from trade
union headquarters confirming the
message. No details.
On Thursday morninl@ something
wrong on the railways. BY afternoon,
railway men back out to defend their
very existence and then by Friday
their trouble is settled. Dockers settle
up by Monday night, and so on.
For Lynching Leaders.
The greatest expression of working
class solidarity in history. This was
the result. Talk about curses. The
most backward of the workers real
lied that a bloody mess had been
made. They we're all for lynching
the Trade Union Congress General
Council.
The central fact that the miners
had not been settled up, made the
situation worse. The workers should
have gone back as they had come out,
victorious and united instead of dis
united and confused. If it had not

members after the general strike, !
don't know what might have happened
to the organized workers.
Trade Union Congress.
Let me give you my opinion of the
position of the Trade Union Council
right thru. All along, in spite of their
big talk the Trade Union Congress
never really believed that the position
would arrive at general strike. They
had little faith in the rank and file
response to such call. They were
out of touch with the rank and file.
They were quite nervous of the out
come.
Workers For Real Fight.
If they had got an opportunity
earlier they would have been prepared
to call off the strike, as they were
quite satisfied that sufficient had been
Rank and Filler TWO
done to attain the desired end when
the threat was made. Again the gen.
eral strike was called in order te
bring about the negotiations between
the government, miners and owners.
That end was achieved in a way, but
the rank and file was prepared to fight
not only for that, but for complete
and satisfactory settlement of the
miners question. Thus the confusion.
Excellent Lesson.
However, a lesson has been given
and no doubt, will have a great benefit
when the next time comes along.
Make no mistake there will be next
time, sooner than most people
imagine.
Strike Ties Up Nation.
What was the situation as it affect
ed us locally? No trains. No press.
In few days no general transport
except for foodstuffs. Pickets stopping
all conveyances unless they were pro-
vided with Trade Union Congress per-
mits. The local strike committee Of

battle proceed" But the government
was not just ready. Nothing was done
until the eleventh hour, i. e. the
notices for the expiration Of mine
workers agreements were posted.
Then true to the habits and customs
of the ruling class Of this country the
usual tactics were employed to make
it appear that the unions were the
aggressors.
Union Rally to Strike Call.
The Trade Union Congress made it
quite clear that the unions would rally
to the help of the miners in the event
the government sided with the own
ers. Negotiations were almost COM
pleted for peaceful settlement, when
word was received that for once the
printing workers had shown their
power and refused to print an article
entitled, For King and Country" a
dirty attack by the Daily Mail editor
on the organized workers. Baldwin
and company took this as an excuse
for breaking off all negotiations and
demanded apologies and indemnities.
The reply was startling to everyone,
mostly for the government because
their allies among the workers lead
ers had informed them-uuite conf
dentially-that the call for mass
strike would go unanswered. Few of
our responsible leaders, even those on
the left, had any great faith in the
tactic Of the general strike. So you
can understand the position the gov
ernment was in. aAf
Rank and File.
The reply of the rank and file was
electrifying, it was instantaneous,
spontaneous. With all their great
faults the heart of the movement was
sound. With military precision the
various sections came into line with
their comrades. The railwaymen in
the front rank, next the dockers and
metal industries, next the transport
workers.
The daily worker., 1926-06-26

The following is an excerpt from
a letter OF a Scottish worker, who
participated in the general strike In
Great Britain, in which he points out
the views of the rank and file of
the British workers towards the un-
timely ending Of the British strike
and the cowardioe Of the General
Council of the Trade Union Con-
gress:
BY a Worker Correspondent.
A S you will be aware, it has been
"A increasingly evident during the
last few years that the government
was prepared to give every assist
ance to the employers in an attack
on the standard of life of the workers.
OF course, one might say, that has
always been the case.
Low Wages In Heavy Industry.
The mass of workers in the steel
trade receive from 25 shillings to 38
shillings a week. In the coal industry
wages were from shillings six-pence
to 9 shillings 6-pence shift. 1t should
be borne in mind that in most of the
coal districts short time was the rule.
Yet the bosses seek longer day.
Last July when the coal owners
made the first move in this most re-
cent struggle, the General Council of
the Trade Union Congress replied with
! the threat of general strike.
Commission is Scab Herder.
The government which emphatieally
refused to subsidize the industry or to
interfere further in the dispute, sud.
denly recanted and offered a subsidy
and set up commission to consider
the coal question. The commission
was a blind in order to give the gov
ernment time to organize the Order
of Mugs and Scabs (Order for the
Maintenance of Supplies) against the
unions.
