house 1Sx20, on his place northeast
of town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tomlinson and chill
dren left via auto Wednesday for
Hutchinson, to spend Thanksgiving
day and the week end at the home
of Mr.. Tomlinson's parents there.
Hans Mosbak and Johan Sorensen
returned Sunday night from a two
days hunting trip in the neighborhood
of Floodwood. Hans was success
full in shooting buck, but that was
the only deer brought home.

east of Willow River, was in Askov

Using his auction sale to be held at
his farm on Wednesday, Dec. 1. DIR.
Jaeger has purchased half interest
in a veterinary hospital at West Con-
cord in Dodge county, and will to-
gether with his family go there just
after the sale. Mr.. Jaeger has lived
on the farm three miles east of Will
low River about three years during
which time he has both farmed and
practised his profession. The past
year or so, much of his time has
been taken up in tuberculosis area
test work out over the state, being
then employed by the Minnesota Live
Stock Sanitary Board. Mr. Jaeger
feels that he is going into good field
and that he will have plenty of work
right from the start at West Concord.
Pine county friends naturally are sor-
Try to see him and his family leave,
but wish them success in their new
home. Their farm here has not yet
been sold and it may be rented out
temporarily.
Martin A. Jensen came here last
week for a visit at the Fred Christ
ensen home north of town. Mr.. Jen-
sen, who formerly made his home at
Askov, has been working the last few
years at Porter, in the western part
of the state, having done duty on the
section and also was clerk and night
Waterman in general store during
the winter months. He reports that
one of the last nights he was on duty
in the store WAS the first time that
ne mar been disturbed by a robber.
The thief was starting to cut his way
through a glass door but likely he
noticed Mr.. Jensen and his gun across
a table waiting to welcome him when
h. fo,~r,
sneaked off, crawling away on all four.
Likely it made Martin little rest
less for the balance of the night, but
he was glad it was not necessary
to shoot. Mr.. Jensen expects to go
down to Porter again some time this
week, but might return to Askov
about Dec. and stay here for the
balance of the winter, especially if
he can get some work.

COAL BARONS
And LEWIS IN
new MEETING
Miners Demand 100
Pct. Anthracite Strike
(speeIaI 70 rhe paIIy Workerl

NSPSSiai " the lazy WoThSIJ
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 26.-En-
tering the 14sth day of the hard coal
strike, striking miners and operators
prepared to meet here in joint confer
ence this afternoon AT the Bellevue
stratford in a renewed attempt to set
tie their differences at the expense of
the coal miners.
The calling of the conference came
from the acceptance for a basis of
discussion" by John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the miners union, of the plan
offered by E. J. Lynett, Scranton pub
Usher. The operators rejected the
Lynett plan altho Lynett and Lewis
interpreted letter from W. W. Inglis,
spokesman for the operators as ap-
proving the plan. Inglis denied this in
depreciation. e1G
The operators informed chairman
Alvin Markle, who will preside over
the parley, that they would participate
in the conference on the condition
that it is understood they did not
favor the Lynett proposal. The oper-
ators stand pat on their demand for
a long term agreement, no raise in
wages and no-strike clause
The publicity question will come
early to the front in the conference
Lewis declared he will make motion
to have the meetings open to the
press. The miners are demanding an
end to secret meetings with the oper-
ators, and Lewis is forced to bluff at
agreeing with them. The operators
voted against resolution to this
effect at the conference in New York.
In spite of the fact that the miners
of the anthracite are demanding that
Ia 100 per cent strike be called i'm
mediately by the withdrawal of the
10000 maintenance men who are safe
guarding the operators property.
Lewis continues accepting plans" in
his efforts to prevent a real strike.
The resolutions of the general griev.
ance committees of the miners calling
for real strike against the operators
have been ignored by Lewis.
~AAO NOAAoAuc VI '1IuS Progressive
Miners Committee, the organization
of the left wing in the United Mine
Workers, are gaining ground among
the miners here. 1ni
The demands for General strike in
the anthracite and no more secret
conferences with the operators are
particularly popular since the break
down of the last conference with the
operators in which Lewis was OF the
verge of agreeing to the operators
demand for arbitration Of the wage
question, a no-strike clause in a long
term agreement which would cripple
the miners in their struggle for better
conditions.
The Lynett plan does not materially
differ from the other plan submitted
so far, and will meet with stubborn
resistance from the miners.

Furriers Make Demands on N. Y. Bosses

wear away their lungs and heart. The
workers pay with their health for the
luxurious fur garments and enormous
profits of the manufacturers. If the
manufacturers should grant all Of the
demands there would still hardly be
a dent in their fat profits. The health
and wellbeing of the workers, how
ever, does not concern the manufac-
turers.
Union Accepts Challenge.
Several conferences have been held.
The representatives of the joint board
and of the International have done
their utmost to break the Indifference
and stubborness of the manufacturers,
but the latter appears to be unyield-
ing and immune to reason. Their sole
consideration is profit and more profit
1t appears that they are determined
to force the union into a struggle. If
they do, theirs is the responsibility of
the consequences.
AS for the workers they are GER
tainly ready and willing to accept the
challenge. They will face all dangers
and make any sacrifice as they have
always done. The fur workers know
how to struggle for better conditions,
for decent life and for their union.
The International Fur Workers
Union at this time hopes that the man.
ufacturers will begin thinking of the
lesson they had during the 1920 strike,
and finally come to the realization,
that the struggle did not bring them
the results they expected to achieve
at the time, and will not arouse them
or infiame them to battle.
The international Fur Workers
Union will stand ready upon the in
structions Of the last convention to
mobilize the workers of both the
United States and Canada to the as
sistance OF the New York furriers,
with everything in their possession
should the manufacturers maintain
their stubborness.

Needle Trades Conference Jan. 3Oth

es is determined to crush the left
wing. These actions and policies Of
Hillman make the fight of the rank
and file in the Amalgamated the fight
of the greatest Importance to the en-
tire needle trades.
1t would be an error for the needle
workers in all branches of the indus
try to underestimate the effect of the
policies and practices of the Anal
gamated. On the one hand it gratifies
the bosses and on the other hand it
results in increasing misery for the
workers. 1t is necessary also in or
der to consolidate the gains of the
left wing in the needle trades that it's
victory be completed by dealing a
death blow to the Hillman admins
tration. All forces must unite for this
purpose.
We therefore, call upon all pro-
gressive locals and groups in the
needle trades to send delegates to a
conference to devise ways and means
of combining morally and financially
the strength of the entire movement
for the left wing fight in the ANAL
gamated.
Basis of representation is: Two
for small minority groups; five for
large minority groups; five from
small locals with 500 members or
more and as many as the executives
see fit to send from big locals of 1000
or more.
The conference takes place Janu-
airy &c. at 1 o'clock in the afternoon
at Central Opera House, 9th street
and Third avenue.

tanned as large crowds as we have
today.

more keen and bitter with the passing
Of time, many millions OF workers
will be drawn into the class strug-

Leninism becoming more and more
alive.
"All workers must transform their
admiration and belief in Lenin into
action by becoming member of the
Workers (Communist) Party which
is the expression OF Leninism in
America, to weld together a strong
Bolshevik instrument TO work among
large masses. We must also work
for the formation Of labor party"
declared Olgin.

r. r. Detective Shoots
Man Who Gathered
Fuel in Railway Yard
BY STANLEY BOONE.

DETROIT-(FP)-Shot by a Michi-
gan Central railroad dick while gath
ering discarded wood in the yards for
fuel, Jacob Galek, father of five chill
dren, is near death in the Detroit
receiving hospital with an abdominal
wound. Galek was not stealing ties
or other material used in construction
but picking up odds and ends strewn
along the tracks,-sticks and broken
or discarded boxes. Detroit is in the
grip of zero weather.
The Ford Motor Co., where Galek
works, teaches fathers to be self
reliant and discharges them If they
are garnisheed for inability to pay fuel
or other bills. Carl Arnold, the rail-
road detective, called to Galek in a
threatening manner and Galek ran.
He was near some cars" according
to the officer. The officer discharged
his pistol and Galek, naturally, ran
faster. The officer told an assistant
prosecuting attorney he fired twice
more to make him halt and then fired
directly at him. The fifth shot hit
Galek and he fell.
Galek is not very familiar with Eng
fish but he managed to tell his story
at the hospital to the assistant pros
ecutor who went to his bedside. The
assistant prosecutor said the detective
might be prosecuted.
