But Vol, and all the other apostles
Of 'worker-employer cooperation, are
insistent that militant unionism in the
garment industry, the fur industry and
the textile industry has nothing what
ever to do with wages, hours and

result Of the activities of Communists
who are trying to stir up trouble. The

statement.
THESE spokesman of the bosses go
l. farther and say that Communists
do not care whether the workers win
strikes or not, that the strikes in the

their assertions by claiming that the

What Money Gifts from Workers on

to amuse himself and his companions
and that he can buy a thousand and
one other little things which folks on
the outside have come to consider as
necessities rather than luxuries be-
cause they have had them always at

State Doesn't Provide.
There are no provisions in the
laws governing the running of prisons
which state that each inmate shall be
supplied with toilet soap, bath towels,
amusements, text books, bed sheets,
summer underwear and safety razors,
yet all of these things are within the
reach of an inmate who has a little
money at his disposal and it is all
this that makes the prisoner so great
ly appreciate what little assistance
friends and friendly organizations can
give him.
IF you want to truly realize what
all this means to the man behind the
bars, try it out on yourself. Go with
out the toilet articles you use daily,
wipe on a linen towel as rough and
sturdy as cement sack, get shaved
once a week in the Moler Barber Col
lege and do all this while all the men
around you are enjoying the benefits
of all these little Injuries. If you
tried to live that way for a year, the
mere sight of a Turkish towel would
make you envious and seeing the
other men smoke when they wanted to
and grin at you over their chocolate
bars on "commissary day" would
make you want to commit robbery or

heinous crime. But when it was over

ment about the Passaie workers.
These statements have been shown
to be without foundation in another
article and here we wish only to ask
why the self-appointed saviors of the
garment workers, fur workers and tex
tile workers do not apply this same
test to the anthracite strike.
THIS is a strike that was lost if
4 ever a strike was lost After flve
months Of struggle by 10000 miners,
during all of which time Lewis allow
ed the maintenance men to work and
keep the owners properties in better
condition thatn ever before. Lewis
signed an agreement with the coal op.

These statements may be denied by
friends of President Lewis but Presi-
dent Coolidge, whom President Lewis
supported for election, knows other.
wise. In his recent message to con-
gress Coolidge says:
No progress seems TO have been
made within large areas Of the BIZ
luminous coal industry toward orea-
ton of voluntary machinery by
which greater assurance can be
given to the public of PEACEFUL

ACCOMPLISHED IN THE AN
THRAcFTE INDUSTRY. (Empha-
sis Mine.)
THE miners are bound by fye-year
L arbitration agreement and the
president is therefore pleased.
The Mining Congress Journal also
states that the coal operators believe
they have won victory, in its issue
for December:
The operators claim that it (the
contraet) PROVIDES FOR A RE-
cIPRocAL PROGRAM OF EFFIcI-
ENcY AND COOPERATION, which
will be the basis Of arbitration for
any disputed points hereafter. EN-
phasis naine.)
The wage scale of the anthracite
miners is not even guaranteed by this
Lewis victory" The Mining Con-
gress Journal further states:
II is presumed that on January
some operators will ask for a re-
duction in the wage scale and thus
test out the matter.
IF such q condition prevailed in the
L fur, cloakmakers and textile work
ers' unions, after the left wing leader
ship had failed to use the full power
Of the unions as Lewis did, then the
worker employer co operationists
would have slightly better case.
AS it is, facts show that the only
strike that was lost this year was the
anthracite strike, led by John L.
Lewis, in a section Of industry where
the Communists did not have sufici-
ent membership at the time to be
decisive factor.
The campaign of the reactionary
trade union oficialdom, the socialist
party, the bosses, the various agencies
of the government and the capitalist
press appears as a drive on the Com.
munist Party and its members in the
unions. Where Communists are num-
erous and active, strikes are won.
Actually it is a drive against the
right to strike and therefore a drive
against the whole working class.

(copyright. 1926. BY Upton sinclair,

Bunny hauled out his checkbook.
and sought to salve his conscience
by making present to his friends.
But Ruth said no, she was sure Paul
wouldn't let him do that. They
were going to get along all right.
Paul was good carpenter, and
sooner or later he would find some
boss that didn't mind his having
been in Jail Bunny argued, but
Ruth was obdurate; even tho she
were to take the check, Paul would
send it back.
Bunny did not wait till Paul came
home; he made some excuse, and
went away. He just did not have
the nerve to sit there, in his fash
ionable clothes which Wee has se-
lected for him in New York, and
with his new sport car waiting
downstairs, and see Paul come in,
half sick, discouraged, from seeking
work in vain. and with all the black
memories of injustice and betrayal
in his soul Bunny could make ex-
cuses, of course. Paul did not know
he had been spending the summer
at play with the worlds darling,
Paul would believe that he had gone
away on his fathers account. But
nothing could change the fact that
it was on money wrung from the
Paradise workers that Bunny was
living in luxury; nothing could
change the fact that it had been to
increase the amount of this money,
to intensity the exploitation of the
workers, that Paul had spent three
months in Jail, and the other fellows
were to spend nearly year in Jail.
SO long as that was the truth, there
was nothing Bunny could do but just
run away from Paul!
III.
Money! Money! Money! It was
pouring in upon Dad and Verne.
Never had oil prices been SO high,
never had the flow at Paradise been
so rapid. Millions and millions
and they were scheming to make 1t
tens of millions. 1t was a game,
marvellous, irresistible; everybody
was playing it-and why could not
Bunny be interested? Why did he
have to go sneaking around in the
dressing rooms and behind the
grandstands,. finding out dirty and
disreputable facts about the players
of this game and their methods?
1t seemed as if the fates had it IN
for Bunny. Just as sure as he made
some pitiful effort to be like his
father and his fathers friends some
new development would come along
and knock him down. Here he had
gone to a university, solemnly re-
spectacle university, trying to inn
prove his mind and make a gentle
man of himself; he had turned over
his young and eager mind to the
most orthodox and regular authori-
ties-and surely they would know
how to make him good and honest
and happy, surely they would teach
him wisdom, dignity and honor
Such things were being taught to
all students in this great institu-
ton, which had begun as Methc-
dist Sunday school, and still had
more courses on the religion OF
Jesus Christ than on any other sub
ject whatever oh, surely yes!
