With party OF six young per-

was at a party at La Java last
night. Miss Henrietta johnson,
of Arlington County, Va, was
Jeff's partner. The youngsters

broke up at 3:O5 this morning,

Car Won't Start
According to Miss Allan Duffey,
Of 1866 Connecticut Ave. n: W.,
the young mans sister, the party
had gotten into their automobile
outside La Java. The car would
not start, SO two Of the boys got out

They showed off, the motor kicked
over. and the party started off.
But Jeff did not get in. Instead,
his friends saw him run up the
steps OF the Franklin Square Hotel.
Thinking nothing Of this they
drove around the block and pulled
up in front Of the hotel.
Inquiry revealed that young Duff
fey had taken a taxi as soon as his
friends had turned the corner, and
the starter told them he had given
directions to be taken to the High

were alarmed and Immediately gave
chase.

Meanwhile Jeff was staging his
own little play. When the taxi

called to the driver to stop. He

was considerably more than the

patriot in the capitalist press IS OBJ
vious, but its sinister character be-
comes palmer when it is recalled that
Tunney has been commissioned lieu
tenant in the marines and is being
used to stimulate recruiting In the
most useful arm of American impe-
ridlism.
WITTY is Labor" for Tunney as
w against Dempsey?
Principally for the reason that it
gives. He was one of those who was
fooled by the professional patriots,
among whom must be included the
professional labor leaders who control
Labor" and who urged full and un-
questioning support of the most I'M
called-for and biggest murderous ad-
venture in which American imperial
ism has yet engaged-the entry into
the world war to protect Morgan's
millions loaned to the allies.
ME hold no brief for Dempsey, but
w it cannot be said of him that he
allowed himself to be used by the
agents of the war-mongers to fool
thousands of young workers into be-
lieving that modern war is in defense
of democracy when waged by the
United States or is anything else than
"a method of continuing the competi-
tion inherent in capitalist production
and exchange.
What business has Labor" which
is supported by thousands of workers,
boosting the game of the war-mongers
and the war department by trying to
picture Tunney as an ideal type of
young manhood simply because he
served the lords of finance and indus
try and is still serving them?
TNHE duty of real labor paper is to
L expose the war schemes of the
bosses and their agents, to urge the
workers to not allow themselves to be
deceived by them and to organize the
workers for resistance to all forms of
imperialist war-not to fall in and
Guido the paid war propagandists of
the capitalist press as the editors of

IT ABOR," the official organ of the

Railroad Labor Organizations" in its
issue for October 2, devoted it's lead
ing editorial to the Dempsey-Tunney
fight
1t may occasion surprise to some to
know that in an editorial on a sub
ject which on the surface has no class
angle, the editors of Labor" expose
their loyalty to the great capitalist in
terests of America who foment war
and for whose interests wars are
fought.
VET the following quotation leaves
no doubt that the official group
whose viewpoint tlabor" expresses
look upon American participation In
the world war in exactly the same
manner as do the professional pa
triots;
1T was a most satisfactory fight.
OF the 115.OOO,OO0 people in the
United States at least 114,900,O00
seemed to have wanted Tunney to
win. The reason is clear. When
Dempsey stayed out Of the war he
damned himself. The American peo-
pie will not forgive a Stacker, and
when the Stacker is a professional
fighter his absence from the line is
infuriating.
Dempsey posed for his picture as
a navy-yard worker--in patent
leather shoes-when the marines
were stopping the kaiser's finest in
the middle of the ring in Chateau
Thierry, and other Ysnks were dis
obeying orders to storm back the
positions they had lost in an unex-
pected thrust. Nuff sed.
There is a reason to believe that
Tunney will be satisfactory cham;

any other marine, and his cool nerve

MONESSEN, Pa, Oct. 28.-Two of
the most important announcements for
years in this district were made when
it was learned that the Ella mine and
the Naomi mine Of the Hillman Coal
& Coke Company would resume OPP
erations this week under the Jack
sonville wage agreement, giving EN-
ployment to approximately $50 men,
and also the announcement that in
creased orders at local industries had
necessitated an urgent call for work.
men.
Request for Men.
f. b. Tewrom, in charge of the
board of trade employment bureau at
Monessen received request for 100
men to report to work, but he was
unable to fill the order at once.
The Naomi mine of the Hillman Coal
G Coke Company has been closed for
two years. It is located short dis
lance below Fayette City, and when
running full gives employment to $50
men. Workmen have been engaged
for the past week getting the mine in
shape for the resumption, and it is ex-
peoted that the first coal will be mined
today.
Closed for Long Time.
The Ella mine. located about a
mile below Webster, has been closed
for two years and four months and
hopes had been given up that it would
ever resume, and the announcement
that by the latter part of this week
coal would be mined was the most
welcome announcement to the resi-.
dents not only OF Webster but the
entire upper Monongahela valley
Three hundred men will find employ
ment at this mine.
With the resumption Of these two
mines the Hillman Coal & Coke Com
pany will have five plants now open
under the Jacksonville wage scale.
Last week the Ontario and Soudan
mines reopened and Monday the Glib
son mine near Bentleyville resumed
operations.

concerned in the unfortunate dispute
between the brotherhood and the min
ers' union. For that reason he wrote
this personal letter to me, suggesting
that miners who are interested in
progressive principles, such as a
labor party, naturalization of the
mines, organization of the unorgan-
lied, and in the candidacy of any
individuals pledged to those pfin-
ciples, should start weekly paper
of their own along the lines of the
Illinois Miner, as they are not able
to get their views expressed in the
United Mine Workers Journal by its
editor Ellis Searles. He also sug-
gested that l should be the editor Of
this paper and spoke of ways to raise
money to start it.
The "Red Plot"
AS far as l am concerned, 1 did not
want to be the editor of such a paper
and would have so replied to the let.
ter had 1 ever received it and had the
opportunity of replying. Even if 1 had
received it l cannot see how the mere
receiving of letter from friend
should cause people to believe l am
part of a Red Plot" even tho that
friend may be interested in getting
a delegation of trade union leaders to
go to Russia to find out the true facts.
Had the letter been written by me in
stead of to me, it might have been
different, but l think the fair minded
coal miners can see that am in no
way responsible for mail that is stolen
from me.
Another thing by which certain
people are trying to prove that am
part of RED Plot" is the fact that
l have been in Soviet Russia. Yes,
have been there and have earned my
living with a pick and shovel under
ground in a Soviet coal mine. Fur
thermore have told the truth about
my experiences there since l have
been back in this country. That is
the thing that hurts the capitalists
and those reactionary labor leaders
who take their side. If l had told
lies about what had seen and had
gone along with them on their band
wagon, would not now be attacked
as part OF RED Plot"
What He Saw In Russia.
In order to make this point clear
let me tell a few Of the things that
saw there with my own eyes. When
I was working in the mines of the
Soviet government, my fellow work
ers and | were working six hours a
day from bank to bank and we only
had to work twenty shifts a month.
In wet or otherwise bad places the
day was reduced to Ave or even four
hours from bank to bank. The work
ers enjoyed a months. vacation year
with full pay. In case OF sickness or
accident, when a worker was unable
to work, he was given his full pay and
all his medical attention free during
the time he was OF, unless he was
so sick that he had to live in the
hospital, In which case he OF course
had no living expenses and In addi-
ton received seventy-flve per cent of
his regular wage II he was married
and fifty per cent II he was single.

mercilessly against the workers, and a

Fight Against Sweatshop.
The cloakmakers are fighting
against threatened revival Of the old
sweatshop system, declares a state
'ment issued by the international union
this week.
For fifteen weeks 10000 workers in
the cloak and suit industry of New
York have been on strike" the state
ment reads. "They are fighting
against the threatened revival Of the
notorious sweatshop system which in
the past has disgraced the industry
and kept the workers in a condition
of indescribable misery and oppres-
sion.
'In this struggle the organized en-
ployers have brought to bear the
whole weight of their combined
wealth, power and influence to crush
the aspirations of the workers toward
human existence.

'aThey have been causing the daily
arrest of hundreds of peaceful work
ers; they are attempting to poison the

shoot up the strikers on the picket
line.

terror and repression they have Sc

relief to enable them to continue their
