work.
Must Individually See Company Union.
Keegan told him that he could come
back only as "Motorman LAWN and
as member Of Local 7 of the COM
pany union, and refused to receive
him as representing anybody else. The
company asserted, moreover, that they
were interested in getting back only
the motormen and switchmen, and the
guards, conductors, power men and
agents were not wanted.
When LAWN reported to the strik-
ers outside the office, they yelled:
Back to the strike headquarters"
"All right, boys" said LAWN. Were

men marched back.
Mayor Walker Tricks Men.
Previous to this renewal of the
strike, the strikers denounced Mayor
Walker for calling OF an appointment
for a conference. The mayor did this
without even notifying the men, who
learned Of it from a reporter. "The
reason given us for the cancellation, y
said LAWN, was that the I. R. T.
would not attend, hence Mayor Walker
considered 1t would be waste OF
time. Some of us think the wires
were pulled"
James Walsh, strike leader, assert.

who were stockholders Of the com.

been misleading; they distorted our
side and openly lied about us. I am

discuss this affair and / didn't ask

officials. Whether Mayor Walker has
intelligence or not l don't know. But

After the refusal to take the mer
back, the strike committee issued &
statement attacking the company
president, Frank Hedley, for double
crossing them. The statement as
serted the men were counting on tht
support of organized labor and de
! manded that officials of the state anC
city governments do their duty In pro
tecting the public against unsafe oper
alton by criminal and inexperienced
scabs.
Joseph Phelan, strike leader, sait
that the men were facing an endur

by their own men who had gone Il

NEAR EAST RELIEF
 APPRECIATES HELP FROM
 CITIZENS OF WRANGFII

The following letter was received this week by Che publisher of the Sentinel from Charles v. Nickery. general secretary of the Near East Relief New York headquarters un- der date of October 15.
 My dear Mr. Pritehett.
 May l express to you. and through your columns to your readers. my personal appreciation and that of our Executive Committee for the courtesies shown Mr. Sellwood or lis recent visit? He has written Us most gratefully Of your generous aid.
 For seven years l have visited the Near East annually. One year l would see a great mob of naked. ratliEe, yerminous creatures cover ing in fright. The next year ! would find in their place a regi- ment of healthy, happy. eare-free baYs aud girls, and a few years la ter would find that they had gone out from the orphanage to become self-supportfng citizens instead ef haters of their kind as they would have been had We not taken them in. This thing occurred year after year have longed every trip for the presence of the people back home who. like you and your asso- ciales, have backed this work. but the reward for this service will come to our children and to their children as those we have saved from death go out to bless the Near East with that passionate attach. ment for America which will dc much for the future peace of the world.
 These experiences and many oth- CTS drive me and my associates to put forth our best efforts every day lest we fail these children who have such confidence that America which has saved them from death will stay by them until they can care for themselves. It is no easy task on which we are working and when reports come from our field men of how their morale has been strengthened by such aid as you and others gave Mr. sellwood i Alaska, I feel that I must express my own appreciation and that of our Committee to whom I gave a re port of our Alaska campaign at ous recent annual meeting.
 With deep appreciation, I am
 Gratefully yours,

Special Shop Bulletin.

The Young Communist shop nu-
cleus, however, aware to the dangers
of the situation, met that same day
and resolved on an immediate issue
of a special edition Of the eagle
Workers Point" exposing the bosses
move. The next day a committee Of
unemployed comrades mimeographed
a special issue of the shop paper and
about twenty students Of the Workers
School distributed the shop paper.
When the distributors reached the fac
tory the workers were just pouring
out. AS soon as we came in sight
cry arose from the workers: Leaf
lets!" Everybody ran to get HIS copy.
One student was dragged inside the
factory by a couple of company spies.
They took him to the chief detectives
office, where the notorious Mr.. Cole
quizzed him as to who was back OF all
this. When the student refused TO
talk Mr. Cole offered to bribe him
with a good Job. The student laughed
at this idiotic maneuver. He was not
harmed. About thirty comrades were
outside the factory with blood in their
eyes, so the captive was set free.
Blow to Bosses. saP g
The next day the workers were in
Joyous mood. They had just been
given the sight of some real Commu-
mist militancy. From every part OF
the factory came a hearty approval
for the brave workers who had braVed
the police and had put one over on
the bosses. They were shown that
here was group of intelligent, ever
ready working men who were not nap
ping on the job, but who met every
move of the bosses with a better one.
Our calling off of this fake strike was
a blow to the bosses.

The Youth in the Coal Mining Industry

tics and policies, open treachery Of
the leaders are all cancers to pow
erful weapon Of the fighting coal min
ers. The traditions that have been in
herited by the young miners from
their fighting fathers, who built up
a fighting organization of class strug-
gle for protection of their interests, is
not to be lost. We are in this world
to make an existence and we belong
to the working class. We must not
forget the sacrifice that the pioneers
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea had to make. Many martyrs gave
their lives, fierce battles were fought
between the bosses and their instru-
ment-the army. In spite of all this
we must face our duties with the
greatest of energy. If the adult min
ers are not going to move a finger in
the defense of our interest there is
only one thing that We must do-and
that is to attend the union meetings
and take part in making the union
function in the interest of both young
and old miners.
Young miners, wake up and help
in the struggle.

Bosses Provocative Tactics NuIlifed
...I:.1.., by Communist COunter-AttGck

(5y Young Worker correspondent.)
At the Eagle Pencil Co. something
very like a war is going on. The OPP
posing sides are the bosses and the
workers, directed by the Communists
organized in the nucleus. The Berolze-
heimers owning the place are plainly
worried about the growth of the SEN
timent for organization and some fine
day they are going to meet commit
tee of workers with demands.
The bosses in their monthly organ,
THE Eagle News plead with the
workers not to mind us, to attend to
their work and remain proud of work
ing in the largest pen and pencil fac
tory in the world. The Communists
and Young Communists counter with
1.-THE Eagle Workers Point" in which
they describe the abuses in the
plant and make demands for an S-hour
day, 44-hour week, decent minimum
wage and abolition of the piece work
system. To this paper, which rankles
like bone in their threats, the bosses
have answered, with the calling of
provocative strike in order to wipe
out our influence and connections.
Bosses Provocative Methods.
On July 20 the workers of the Eagle
Pencil Co. were all handed leaflets by
a seedy-looking gentleman who was
distributing them very calmly without
the least interference from the COM
pany special police. On reading these
all the workers were extremely puz-
zled to find a strike called for August
Q at 8 a. m. They were as yet I'M
aware of any extensive organization
in the factory to warrant this strike
call, tho as a call to strike it was
favorably received by the thousands
of long-suffering slaves there and
goodly proportion resolved to stay out
on that day.

MINERS TOTS
SUFFER IN The
NON-UNION FIELD
Children Are Badly IN
dernourished

CLEARFIELD, Pa, Aug. 5.-One
way of seeing that airs not right in
the soft coal mine fields is to go over
Mrs. Richard Gilberts records of
school children's examinations from
Hawk Run and other mine towns
around Phillipsburg in central Penn
sylvania. Seven and 10 per cent I'M
derweight children coming from these
mine homes. Some as much as 2S
pounds under normal. Out of AZ chill
dren examined in one month, II
have had to have immediate tonsil
operations.
Richard Gilbert is secretary Of Dis
trict No. 2, United Mine Workers, and
has been since 1899. His wife, after
raising her own family, has spent the
last nine and a half years in tubercu-
losis prevention work, chiefly among
miners families.
Non-Union Field.
Hawk Run is one of those wretched
ugly mine communities. Hawk Run
and adjoining Morriadale are non
union now, the others in the district
are still adhering to the Jacksonville
agreement. The few men who have
work in the non-union towns are sup
posed to be on the 1917 scale. The
company promised them full time to
get them to break. But one days
work a week is all they have, occa-
sionally two.
What are you going to do?" Mrs
Gilbert asks the miners and their
wives. Some of them answer: We'll
have to wait until April when the big
fight comes, and then go back in the
union" They look forward to a ma
tional bituminous strike when the
Jacksonville wage agreement finally
officially expires.
Typical Cases.
A 15-year-old Polish lad who went
to the Phillipsburg dispensary with
Mrs. Gilbert is fairly typical. His
voice is husky. He has frequent colds
and sore throat. His tonsils should
be out. The family Of nine live and
sleep in two rooms. From the baby
up they drink coffee instead of milk.
Coffee seems cheaper in the short run
economy the miners must practice,
even tho milk and health are cheaper
in the long run.
A pretty little 13-year-old Polish
girl was coughing violently when Mrs
Gilbert came to her tiny company
house in row of identical little grey
buildings. The child looked feverish.
She was too sick to be examined that
day. She sat with her older sister on
the little porch, looking out across the
railroad track, the slate dump, the
tipple looming black across the sky,
the mine entry.

Y. w. L. Excursion
Saturday, Aug. z

The first league excursion scheduled
for August l was postponed until Sat
urday, August T. because of the bad
weather. This excursion promises to
be a knockout because of the many
arrangements made for an enjoyable
ride up the Hudson. Games, songs,
bathing, ice cream and comradely dis
cussions are only part of the pro-
gram. All young workers are invited
to come along with the Young Work
ers' League for its first annual excur-
sion.
On this day. August 1, from Pier A,
North River, Battery Park, the S. S.
Pontiac will leave at p. m. on the
first annual excursion and picnic of
the Young Workers League, District
No. 2.
Tickets for the round trip are being
sold very fast. These tickets may be
obtained at the headquarters Of the
Young Workers League at los e. 14th
street for SIPS.
Once at Stony Point, the merry
makers will have jolly time. Ball
games, soccer and other events will
feature the days program. The COM
rades are reminded that they must
settle for their tickets.
