CHEST DRIVE SET
FOR JUNE Z; WILL
SOLICIT EVERYONE

Plans for the Community Chest
drive are nearing completion, and
the date of the drive has been de-
finitely set for the week of Monday,
June 7th. 1t is expected that the
drive will be completed within two
days, but the full week has been
allowed in order to insure plenty of
time in which to solicit everyone in
Winslow, the committee announced
yesterday.
The committee wishes it to be
definitely understood that this pro
position more closely resembles a
real community affair than any
ever broached here, and as such it
will have to have the assistance of
everyone, and everyone will be
seen, regardless of their position,
occupation, residence or income.
The committee has asked that
everybody in Winslow who can do
so, aid in the drive, and all who
can spare the time and wish to
help this most worthy cause should
get in touch with one of the com
mittee.
A meeting OF the chest body has
been called for Saturday evening,
May 22nd, at the office of Sam
Proctor At this time the Bylaws
and policy committee, which is
composed of Bill Darling, Mrs. Geo.
Jackson and Mrs. Horace Evans
will report, and final plans for the
exact execution of the drive will
be drawn that night. These plans
will be fully explained in the next
issue of The Mail.
This chest drive will be pattern
ed after community chest drives
that have been successful in other
communities. Donations Should be
made on basis of the donors in
come, and each donor should figure
the size of his donation by this
measurement, the committee an
nounced.
A big enough force of workers
will be recruited to make certain
that every home, every business
house and every individual in
WinSlow will be seen personally,
and each lieutenant will be able to
explain the tremendous advantage
of the unified and centralized chest
over the old haphazard, hit or miss
charity system, where hundreds of
dollars in time and in expense mon
ey have been used in collecting of
funds.

PICNIC AT BLUE
RIDGE PROMISES
EXTRA BIG TIME

Lovers of the outdoors, lovers of
good barbecue, lovers of camping
or what have you are boisterously
banging their camp knives against
their tin plates, and rallying to full
war strength to partake of and take
part in the big barbecue that is
v2cheduled to come off at Blue
fRidge Ranger Station as the open
ing ceremonial to the WinslOw
camp that is being built by Ranger
Frank Buster.
Busters suggestion for such a
camp was greeted enthusiastically
by Winslowites, and encouraged by
the reception given this suggestion,
he went on throwing them out, and
his faint murmur that a barbecue
wouldn't be so bad was amplified
and re-echoed by the legionnaires
of Frank Perkins Post.
These up and coming veterans
plan to prepare several steers for
the pits, and promises to watch
over, care for, nurse and attend
these beeves and their final rest

flavor that only expert chefs can
accomplish.
Busters camp will offer almost
home conveniences to campers.

Winslow campers.
Don't slip a cog and forget that
date. June 18th is the day set,
and the celebration will be such a
real old get-together that those
who miss will be the losers by one
extra large time.
All that is absolutely necessary
is to take along plates, knives and
cups, for the Legion boys will also
furnish plenty of Java. Those de-
string variety can also hoist a few
pickles, cakes or other picnic nee

anything you like, but be there.
There'll be all your friends.

ROTARIANS MOVE
TO REPAIR ROAD
TO SOLDIER LAKE

A movement to repair the few
miles of rocky road between the
Service Ranch and Soldier and An.
mex Lake was started at Wednes-
days meeting of WinsloW Rotary
with the result that the Rotarians
unanimously resolved to turn out
practically 100 per cent at a date
soon to be set and do the actual
work, and committee consisting
of DR.. P. D. Sprankle, w. T. But
y Ter and E. Fl. Black was appoint
ed to arrange the details.
At the suggestion of John Baird.
chairman for the day, DR.. P. D.
Sprankle briefly explained the con-
dition of the road leading to the
lake, explaining that one of the
best fishing resorts in this vicinity
would be Winslow's, provided every
one interested would turn out for
a day and help clear the road of
rocks for distance of about mile.
The lake is stocked with bass and
now Annex Lake is also filled with
bass providing excellent fishing
areas just 40 miles from here, and
with a good road, which will re-
suit in the bad places being fixed,
can be reached in less than two
hours.
President Gilpin of the Rotary
club, and Bill Butler, each added
some information to the new fish
ing area, and road conditions and
the Rotarians unanimously went on
record to turn out on a day to be
set in the near future and do the
actual work. 1t is figured that if
10 cars, carrying in the neighbor-
hood of so men can be recruited,
it will take but a few hours to
complete the job and give a good
afternoons fishing.
Members of Rotary, being practi-
cally all lovers of the Waltonian
art are strongly in favor of the
move, and in the next few days
may see an army of Winslowites
headed in a southwesterly direction
armed with picks, shovels and
rakes, to do the job Bill Butler
explained that it is probable the
supervisors of Coconino county will
cooperate in fixing the road on the
other side of the lake, connecting
with the road to Mormon Lake, and
that Pat Duke is at present doing
some work in that vicinity.
The lake, made easily accessible,
will give Winslow one of the finest
fishing resorts hereabouts, it was
explained, making it unnecessary
to make the long trip to Lake Mary
or Mormon Lake, that is now nee
essary.
The Rotary programme commit
tee announced that they are work
ing on Ladies Night program and
this may possibly be changed in
to picnic, the date to be announc-
ed later.
Chairman Baird made a fine talk
on the second object of Rotary,
but DR.. G. P. Sampson, who was
scheduled to talk on sanitation as
part of the Clean Up, Paint Up
campaign, was called out of town.

Franklin Is Not
Moving To HOlbrO0k

Through a misunderstanding, it
was announced last week in the
local news that w. w Franklin, OF
the Franklin Motor company had
moved his headquarters to Hol-
brook, but Mr.. Franklin advises us
that this is not the case as he is
still maintaining his headquarters
in Winslow and does not intend to
make any changes as the article
suggested. Winslow is the main
stay of his automobile business, Mr..
Franklin says, and due to the fact
that some people gained the i'm
preston that he was leaving here,
he asked that the erroneous i'm
preston given last week be cor
rected, which The Mail is glad to
do, as is always our policy when a

City Wins Ice Injunction Suit
Homes Shine And
Glow AS Clean Up
Campaign Winds Up

Giving an impetus to a year of
cleaning up and painting up, the
"Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
is drawing to a close. It's benefit
will be felt for months, its teach
ing will last longer yet, for such a
movement does not consist of any
set period of time.
The many homes that have been
vastly improved in appearance and
enhanced in value by the addition
of a little paint and a great deal
of cleaning up, will inspire many
more to do likewise, it is felt, and
the general interest and civic pride
awakened by the movement will
grow greater with the years, it is
felt.
Following the essay contest, the
high school and junior high pupils
who entered the contest, set to
work to practice what they
preached" and their activities are
showing in many a cleaned-up
back yard and painted fence or
barn.
Paint dealers, and dealers in gar
den seeds, repair tools and other
accessories necessary to thorough
regeneration, report tremendous
demand for their wares.
All in all, this has been the most
effective and interesting campaign
of this nature ever held in Wins
low, according to those interested
in the move, and by the example
set by those at present engaged in
re-vamping their old homes, many
more will take the clean up-paint
up plunge during the spring and
summer.

Elks Will Observe
Flag Day, June IA

Public ceremonies surrounding
the National Flag will be held ar
the Elks home June 14th, which
is Flag Day throughout the nation.
This is one of the yearly features
on the Elks program, since this
organization is built on patriotism
of the highest sort, and in its pol
icy carries out the ideas on which
America itself was founded-free-
dom and liberation.
AS this is one of the few public
affairs held at the Elks home dur
ing the year, and as this is the
only ceremonial of it's kind plan
ned for the national Flag Day, it
is expected that a large crowd will
see the program.

SHOPNEN DISCOVER WHAT RAISE
UNDER B. & O. PLAN REALLY is;
LESS DINNER AND LOWER WAGE

Rejection by Baltimore & Ohio shop
men Of wage cut disguised as an in
crease turns the spotlight on a Wall
Street Journal analysis Of the profits
Of this road. The b. & o. is consid-
cred the leader in the labor-cooperat-
with-capitsl movement. Quoting
figures showing that the railroad made
$5,095,000 more profit in the first 6
months Of 1926 than in the same half
of 1925, the journal predicts that this
carriers net income for the entire
year will exceed $50,OOO,00 for the
first time in its history.
The journals figures show that the
1926 profit for B. & O. common stock
holders will ran at least 1909 larger
than in 1913 and 90qo ahead of the
average profits of the 10 years 1906-15
it will mean. about SIC share, more
than times the present dividend rate.
Financial circles are specializing on
big probable increases in B. & o. divi-
dends.
The following table shows B. & o.
net yearly income since 1916 and the
profit to common stockholders after
interest payments, etc, since 1913.
Net income was not reported on a COM
parable basis prior to 1916. In the
years 191S-2O the government rental
and guarantee brought profits up to
about the average of 1914-16.

Resolution on Organization.


THE foremost task confronting In
1 ternational Labor Defense is the
organization into compact member
ship body Of the tens of thousands Of
workers who are sympathetic to its
aims.
The main energy OF the first year Of
the existence of the !. L. D. was nee
essarily devoted to practical defense
tasks and the popularization of the de-
cisions of the first conference. This
task has been well done. The pledges
of the first conference have been writ
ten into deeds. The idea of unity for
non-partisan labor defense has gained
wide support. The I. L. d. has en-
deared itself to all class conscious
workers and has firmly established its
place as part Of the labor move
ment. A solid foundation has been
laid for the organization.
The task now before us is to build
upon this foundation. The sentiment
for labor defense and for the I. L. d.
must be organized. The workers sym
pathetic to the aims of the l. L. D.
must be welded together into a COM
pact, dues-paying functioning organ
ization. This is the slogan which
must guide our work during the next
year.
THE old practice of conducting de-
i Tense work by loosely-organized
committees, hastily constructed only
during periods of extreme emergency,
must be replaced by permanently
functioning membership organization
carrying out continuous activity and
drawing eyer-wider circles into its
ranks.
The building of such a membership
defense organization, which has al
ready been started by the /. L. d., has
a great significance for the labor
movement as whole, as we'll as for
the immediate victims of class per-
secution. In the first place a perma-
nent functioning membership organ
lzation for labor defense, as has been
demonstrated already during the past
year, constitutes powerful ever
ready machine for propaganda and
agitation which completely deprives
the exploiting class of the possibility
Of railroading militant workers with
out serious protest. The l. L. d., by
extending its organization, is becom-
ing more and more an effective fight
ing instrument, able to contest every
attempt TO victimize workers and dis
couraging many prosecutions which
would be carried out IL there were no
organized movement publicly to ex-
pose them and fight against them.

members into its ranks and into

"The strikers were led to believe" /"
says Relief Organizer Rebecca Grecht,
that the mill owners would deal with
an A. F. of L. union, but as soon as
they affiliated with the United Textile
Workers they we're told that the own
ers would deal only with company
union. SO they must keep on fighting
until the owners are forced to terms.
The organized labor movement Is
backing them splendidly."

u. S. STEEL co.
| HIDES NEWS OF
| WORKERS. DEATH
Police Not Informed for
13 Hours
BY SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 22.-1n
their attempt to keep accident figures
low by keeping accidents secret, the
American Steel & Wire company, a
local subsidiary of the United States
Steel Corporation, kept information Of
the death OF Ernest Laperriere, 25
years old, from the police authorities
for over Is hours.
Killed in Cave-in.
Laperriere was killed by a cavern
while working in ditch at the South
Works, one of the three huge plants
Of the American Steel and Wire com
pany in this city, dying of internal in
iuries. multiple abrasions of the body
fractured ribs and crushed chest,
according to the medical examiner
who viewed the body at the City hos
pital morgue.
Police Ignorant.
The police authorities knew nothing
of the accident until the body was re-
covered by fellow workmen. A pri-
vate inquiry, at which a number Of
ent to tell their stories, was held be-
hind closed doors at the south works
Clinton S. Marshall, district manager
for the steel company gave lame ex-
cuse, stating that he did not know
why the police were not notified of
the accident, and in the same breath
declared that he thought likely that it
was not considered necessary.
Laperriere was working in the ditch
with two other men when a water
pipe close by burst, flooding the ditch
His two comrades managed to get out,
but before he could get out Laperriere
was caught by falling wall Of debris,
and in few seconds the entire dugout
was filed with water and debris.
Frantic Effort.
After shutting off the water a gang
Of fellow-workers started frantically
in their attempt to locate their com
rade. The body was found in an up
right position at o'clock in the af-
ternoon, but because of the dangerous
condition of the ditch, it was impos-
sible to reach it until IL O'Clock at
night.
Safety Fraud.
This steel plant holds weekly meet
ings of its so-called safety committee,
but whenever a practical suggestion
for the safety ofsthe employees is Of
fered by member of the committee,
the officials of the company turn them
down upon one pretext or another.
10-Hour Shifts.
But the officials of the corporation
never tire of telling the workers to
be careful, while at the same time
they push the men by all sorts of
schemes, speeding the men and the
machines, working in ten or twelve
hour shifts night and day. Is there
any wonder that the plant is produc-
ing such huge profits for the United
States Steel Corporation which is al
ways keeping information Of accidents
secret? And is there any wonder
that so many accidents occur under
the speed-up system?
The daily worker., 1926-09-24
Same Wage, More Work.

More work per employer is one big
reason for this years B. e. o. profits.
In the first months of the year ope-
rating expenses absorbed only 76.3%
of the roads gross receipts as against
1919 in 1925. Transportation costs
fell from 37.39o to S5.79o of gross reve-
nue.. Maintenance expenses dropped
from 36.29o to 359o. Since 1922 the
proportion of revenue going to operat-
ing expenses has declined from 82.16%
to 76.39o and is expected to go below
1870 this year. All this means a stead
lily increasing share Of the railroad
dollar for stockholders. Yet the B.
& o. is still stalling on wage increases
and conditions which have been grant
ed to shopmen on many other roads
The company's answer to the re-
quest OF the shopcraft unions for an
increase in wages and for restoration
of time and half pay for overtime
on Sundays and holidays proved to be
a sugar-coated attempt to reduce total
wages still further. Vice-president
Galloway, in charge Of operation and
management, proposed an increase Of
&c an hour with time and half Sun
days and holidays on condition that
the men give up minutes of their
regular Commute lunch period and
agree to check in and out Of the shop
on their own time. Pay for an extra
hour a week for checking in and ct
has heen an established union coudi-
tion on the railroads for years.
When the unions found that taken
altogether these proposals would cut
wages by thousands Of dollars instead
of raising them, the men rejected the
offer by an almost unanimous vote.
Galloway then withdrew the offer of
the &c an hour increase.

Resolution Adopted at the Second Annual
Conference of International Labor Defense

are directly related to the class strug-
gle, becomes a school of solidarity
and class consciousness in which
many workers gain their first lessons
in the labor movement and take their
first steps into actual participation
in the class struggle. New forces Of
energy and enthusiasm are thereby
continually directed into the main
stream of the labor movement and the
class struggle.
The I. L. D. will grow in impor-
tance and significance as the conflict
between the workers and their ex-
ploiters grows more acute. It's pow
er and effectiveness as an auxiliary
to the labor movement will then be a
hundred-fold greater if the work of
organization has been carried on un-
interruptedly5 from month to month
and year to year, and mass men,
bership has been schooled in it's prin-
ciples and trained in its work.
THE conference believes the time
l. is now opportune to launch an
organization campaign on a nation
wide SCALE All members and units
of the l. L. D. are called upon to con-
centrate the main energy on this work
Of organization during the coming
months. Immediately after the con-
ference the national executive COM
mittee shall draw up comprehensive
plan for the campaign and drive it
forward with speed and energy to a
successful conclusion.
First and foremost, the organization
campaign must aim at organizing new
branches and strengthening the ex-
listing branches, since the branch Of
individual dues-paying members is the
rock-bottom foundation of the l. L. d.
Secondly, the campaign must be
carried on to secure the afflliation of
all sympathetic organizations as col.
Iective members contributing a stipu.
lated regular monthly or yearly
amount to the support Of the organ
ization.
l.
IL there must be carried on a cam
paign to bring these affiliated organ
izations into the main stream of the
defense work Every effort should be
made to have the unions and other
affiliated organizations send delegates
to the local |. L. d. and participate
actively In the work Wherever pos
sible, reports should be made directly
to the unions and other bodies afili-
ated. Ways and means should be de-
vised by the I. L. ID. locals to see to
II that the individual members of af-
flliated bodies take direct part in the
work.
In view of the fact that in the first
year of its existence, in spite of the
enormous difficulties, the |. l.. d. sue
ceeded in organizing $50 local units,
with 10000 dues-paying members,
the conference puts forward as a
perfectly reasonable and realizable OBJ
jective, $4,000 members during the
next year and an affiliated collective
membership of 250,0O0.
The conference calls upon all units
and members of the |. L. ID. to rally
around the slogan OF organization and
to press forward TO tho goal set with
the same spirit and energy which has
characterized all their work during
the past year.
