TO participate in the everyday strug-

Both plays were written by mem.

CICERO, ILL.,, July 14.-When news
that Sheriff Hoffman was released
from jail, where he spent thirty days
for contempt of somebody or other,
the republicans of this township threw
little party.
Every machine gun that was not
damned appeared on the streets as if
by magic. The thirteen democrats
who are not in the bootlegging bust
ness surmised that either another as
sistant district attorneys name was
found in the telephone directory or
else the overwhelming majority of the
population decided to have law and
order, even if they had to fight for it,
But it was nothing of the kind. 1t
was a spontaneous exhibition of joy
over the release of the good-hearted
sheriff.
A sheriff who goes to Jail for his
boys is not only worth voting for, he
is worth fighting for.

No Increase of Jobs With Low Wages
Events in this field, however, justi-
fed the contention of the union that
lower wages would not afford relief.
Operators in Muhlenberg county are
today unable TO give more than half
time work. Some are again trying
to reduce wages.
On June 2S, 225 miners employed
by the Morgan mine and the Hayden
Coal Co. struck against an attempt
to reduce wages $50 below the 1917
scale. A few weeks ago the Morton
Coal Mining Co. restored the 1917
scale after its employees had struck

NEW YORK, July 14.-Thru nego-

uired the control over the zinc mines

tiiesche-E rben company, a firm whose
greatest mines are in Poland, and
whose operations have been carried
IN continuously for 222 years, with

The new firm controlled by Anacon-

American-Silesian corporation, and
viii control not only the largest Eu-
ropean zinc mines now furnishing
10 per cent of the worlds produc-
ion, but will also take over the
famous BlefIScharley mines, the forth

most extensive high grade zinc ore
fields near Bouthen; also the Ma
thiqde lead, zinc and coal mines near

The Versailles treaty is partly re-
sponsible for the Anaconda's grabbing

new YORK WORLD
LABOR EDITOR
BRANDED LIAR
Associated Silk Workers
Hit False Report

PASSAIC, N. j., July 14.-To the
statement Of jeremiah Leary, "fabor
editor" of the New York World, that
the committee elected at the June
conference of the Independent Textile
Unions in New York City, which met
June 10, had refused to give financial
aid to the Passaic textile strike, the
lie is given from two quarters.
1t is pointed out in the first place
that the question of financial aid
never arose at the committee meet
ing. A special resolution supporting
the strike morally and financially was
adopted at the conference Of the tex
tile unions held June at Imperial
Hotel, New York City. This made it
entirely unnecessary to raise the
question at meeting of the commit
tee elected by the conference of June
Is.
Independent Union.
Since this time, the American Fed
Grafton OF Textile Operatives, the
largest independent union attending
this conference, has held its conven-
ton in Lawrence and there, after an
address by a representative of the
Passaic Textile Strikers Relief Com
mittee, adopted a resolution for strike
relief and sent a special message Of
encouragement to the textile strik-
ers, calling attention to the fact that
large sums of money have already
been voted out of the treasures of
the affiliated unions for relief and
that much more will be sent.
Associated silk Workers.
From Selig Pitkowitz, a delegate
from the Associated Silk Workers OF
America to the conference of the In
dependent unions, came the following
challenge to Leary's leery statement:
ITO the Editor of the Evening World,
Pulitzer Building, New York City,
Dear Sir:
"Again must call your attention
to the news item that appeared in
your paper to the effect that after
the meeting it was said that the
main differences of opinion was over
the extent to which the representa-
tives of the conservative unions
would back Weisbord in his Efforts
to raise funds for the Passaic strik-
ers. On this point the conservatives
declared no agreement had been
reached. Mr.. Weisbord had nothing
to say. This, my dear editor, is
nothing but tissue OF lies; for I
have been delegate to both the
conferences held on June and
and to the committee conferences
held on June 10 and 20.
Spiritual" Reporter.
"The garbled and colored up re.
ports of your reporter, Mr.. Leary.
makes me think that he would make
a better spiritualist reporter
than a reporter of labor news.
cannot recall any instructions to Mr..
Hatty and Mr.. Weisbord, who were
to give out the news to the report
ers of such proceedings, authorizing
them to make such statements.
remember distinctly that when Batty
and Weisbord spoke to Mr.. Leary in
the lobby of the Imperial Hotel,
was bystander and listened into
the statements given to your report
er, and I emphatically deny that any
such statement was given to Mr..
LeaTy. In other words this brands
Mr.. Leary as non-reliable reporter
of labor news.
Trusting that my letter will ap-
pear in the columns Of your editorial
page, / remain,
Respectfully yours,

JOSEPH CAILLAUX, Frances re-
~ ported financial wizard, only
hopes that the debt settlement with
Great Britain will help save the
franc from the abyss. That is about
all that any profit guardian in Eu-
rope can do nowadays.
If the capitalist France scored any
victory in the debt funding agree
ment reached at London, it was at
the expense Of Germany. 1t was
agreed that If the Germans default
at any time in their reparations to
France, then France may also de-
fault to Britain. This becomes in
creasingly important at this stage Of
the European crisis, with the In
creasing burdens being placed on
Germany thru the growing demands
OF the Dawes plan.
France will now try to get similar
concessions from Washington as an
amendment to the Mellon Berenger
arrangement for the payment of the
French debt to the United States.
OF course, Washington denies that
any such concessions will be grant
