Hodge, California, Feb. l2. -This
is written on the Mojave desert four
teen miles west of Barstow, sixty
miles east of the Pacific ocean, and
two thousand feet above the ocean.
A wind, full of life, blows steadily
from the southwest. The purple
hills Of this desert stand out against
!; beautiful sky, and the MOjavc riv-
er, flowing out of sight, few feet
below the surface is ready when you
start pumping to make Of this desert
the most fertile region on earth.
II you were here, you would wire
home, prepare to move, move, find
how much you can sell the place for,
and soon you would be busy, as your
narrator now is, buying land, and
hauling carpenters out here from
Los Angeles.

for a perfect school for young chill

live, and dozen other vows and

There are millions Of beautiful
places in this nation and in this
great west. None better than this.
Come out here. Look ct it, and bring
your money with you.
This is a happy land. and up to
date in everything. Near victorville,
% miles west, happy gentleman
calls his ice cream parlor Tut's Tomb.
1t is a fertile region, one that will
populate itself, in spite Of immigra-
tion restrictions.
Mrs. Cardoza. of Merced, suing Mr..
Cardoza for divorce as they do
sometimes, even out here, tells the
) judge she wants Mr.. Cardosa to sup
port twelve Of her seventeen chill
dren. She is willing to take care Of
the other five, which seems fair
enough.
Think of the houses that wilk be
built by Mrs. Cardosa's thirteen
boys, when they grow up to be good
carpenters and get dollar an hour.
It seems not worth while to talk
of happenings in other parts Of the

Young Coal Miners
Cheated at Scales
By Young Coal Miner.

POMEROY, GA good example of
when a rise in wages is really no
raise at all can be found here among
the 700 nonunion coal miners of Pome-
roy Bend. At first some of the com
panies opened the mines with import
ed scabs who were paid below the
1917 scale. Then % per cent raise
in wages was forced on the company
because of the reopening of many Of
the union mines. What some Of the
miners couldn't figure out was how,
with the increased rate and the miners
producing just as much cial as before,
their pay envelopes grew no larger.
The answer is the weigh bosses who
cheat at the scales in the companies
interests and there are no union
check-weighman to protect the min
ers.

Grand Rapids Likened
to Passaic in Speech
to Furniture Workers
BY Worker Correspondent.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. 20. -
A most inspiring and instructive mes
sage. to the workers of the morgan
lied regions of western Michigan,
was delivered by Albert Weisbord at
a we'll attended meeting held at the
Workmen's Circle Temple here.
Following the Introduction by the
chairman, Comrade Arnold Ziegler,
the speaker, after giving a brief his
tory of the textile industry itself, de-
clared that Passaic is not an excep-
ton; but that many little towns en-
gagged in a certain industry are spread
all over the United States, even as the
unorganized furniture industry right
here in Grand Rapids. This city too,
must follow the lead and courage of
the textile workers, and organize its
ranks he said.
The workers, who contributed well
to the collection and bought many
Passaic strike pamphlets, are now
looking forward to breaking the I'M
challenged power of the Grand Rapids
furniture trust.

BROWNSVILLE, Pa, Dec. 2O.-For
the past six years 1t has been the
custom of the coal miners of Local
Union No. 1899, Daisytown. Pa, to
vote by the check board at the mine
in the election of national and district
officers.
Because the membership of Local
1899, composed of about 1,400 men,
bers, Is progressive and was backing
John Brophy and the Save the Union"
ticket, Joe Edwards, manager of the
vesta Coal company mine refused to
permit the miners to vote by the
check board as before.
Bosses Help Lewis.
The management knew that the
miners of the local were for the pro-
gressive ticket and decided to elimi-
nate as many progressive votes as
possible, to help the John L. Lewis
machine become reelected. The denial
Of the customary voting method
means that more than 500 members
Of the union could not vote on cleo

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. "Not
enough police to protect human
lives, but plenty to protect scabs
and beat up strikers" This seems
to be the slogan of the New York
police department, according to
statements made at meeting OF
school chiIdren's parents at Morris
high school.
We were told that upon request
for more policemen to guard chill
dren's lives In their coming to and
going from school our present po-
lice commissioner claimed that
there were not enough policemen to
spare for the traffic squads.
This statement startled mothers
whose husbands are paper box work

Of police in the strike, of two police
men on each wagon guarding scabs,
of the policemen in front Of the

stantly beat up by the officers and
taken to jail.

Queen Silver Again Is
Publishing
BY L. p. RlNDALL.
(Worker Corraapondankl

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20. - Queen
Silver's Magazine, after being sus-
pended for year, is now once more
being published. In the future it will
be monthly instead OF quarterly.
Its editor and publisher, Queen Silver.
was 16 years old on Dec. 10. Her
magazine is devoted to atheism, evo-
luton and revolutionary propaganda.
She has been lecturing and writing on
these lines since she was s years old.
Queen is also secretary OF the Devils
Angels" the largest branch of the
A. A. A. A. in any city of America.
The January number, just published,
contains the lecture, 1.-THE Goodness
OF Ignorance"
Gives Atheism Publicity.
The press, past and present, has
been good enough to give atheism and
Queen Silver's Magazine some pub
licity. And now prominent preacher
comes along with helping" hand.
He is Rev. R. P. Shuler, pastor of
Trinity Methodist church, member of
the executive committee of the Church
Federation, editor and publisher OF
Bob Shuler's Magazine, author of INC
Phersonism" and the greatest enemy
of Aimee Semple Mcpherson. An
article in the December number of
Bob Shuler's Magazine says:
unnecessary God"
"The Los Angeles market is now
completely submerged beneath a del
uge of atheistic literature, chief of
which is a journal published by a
Jew by the name of e. Haldeman Ju-
Illus, who comes out quite recently III
brazen and insulting editorial on
Unnecessary Gods We note that a
few days after the appearance Of this
editorial upon the streets the an
nouncement is made thru a poster
that self-appointed Queen Silver has
launched an organization to be known
as The Devils Angels and is solicit
ing members in Los Angeles"
Hints Deportation of Atheists.
After having defended "the glorious
history of the christian religion" Rev.
Shuler continues, saying that there
are still some spots on the face of the
earth where there is no christianity.
Why do not E. Halderman julius,
Queen Silver and few Of their ilk
secure passage and sail to those de-
lightful ports?"
This deportation hint sounds like
the voice of bloody 100 per cent I'M
American kluxer. Does it not?
Part of another article in the same
magazine says:
"'Godly Criminals and Criminal
Gods This is the subject announced
for next meeting by The DEVILS An
GELS otherwise known as the Los An
geles branch of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Athe-

invitation to attend is extended this
editor. We take no stock in these or
CARNATIONS that are seeking to break
down christianity and stable govern
ment that aim alike at the Bible and
the flag"
Preachers Criminals, Shuler Admits.
"And yet" Bob Shuler says, I'VE do
