The active trades unionists who at

Federation of Labor speak, lett the
hall with a bad after-taste wondering
whether they had listened to the Off

speech Green attempted to sell the
speed-up system to the workers as a
price for higher wages.

small hall, was not as full as the

Walker Lauds Self.
Walker spent most of his time laud-

time he had in the past and how he
had risen" to his present status Of
president of the Illinois Federation Of
Labor. He then began to scratch"
Green's back, lauding him as the coal
miner who had risen to the highest
position of honor the American labor
movement can bestow." After this

in politics. A city convention Of the
FarmerLabor Association has been
called at which time plans will be
made for the city election to be held

This convention is of great inn

several years st. Paul labor politics
has been completely dominated by a
corrupt underworld political machine

WIILLIAM GREEN, president of the
w American Federation of Labor
came to Chicago last Saturday, not in
the role Of labor leader, but in that
of baptist preacher. While $4,000
anthracite miners are on strike and
on the brink of starvation, Green finds
time to discuss the welfare of the
workers souls but is too hard pressed
to help them take care of their bodies.
This is an old trick of the exploiters;
keep the eyes of the workers on the
skies while they are robbed during
their lifetime.
TN Indiana the miners forgot the
preachers for a week and proceed
ed to organize the non-union mines.
They marched from mine to mine and
lined up the non-union miners in the
organization. This is one of the ways
the workers can help their souls and
not by listening to labor faker dish
out superstition to them. We have
often said that body without a soul
is a corpse and a soul without body
is spook. without food in the stom-
ach there cannot be any soul in the
body.

Oftentimes, the lockers of the in

searched in the hope that something
can be found to be able to accuse the
worker of stealing a ham or side of
bacon in order to show their employ

ness to serve. The women and girls
are often subjected to a search by
police and matrons, who finger the
girls in their attempts to see if the
girl has any of the meat products hid

The police employed by the com

say, they do all they can to impress
