In looking out for our own welfare,

So this most important job is often

tooth paste for lazy people-and in
tooth brushing, at least, the word
lazy applies to practically all of U.S.
Listerine Tooth Paste is really very
easy to use. 1t works fast. With just
a minimum of brushing your teeth
feel clean-and actually are clean.
You have the job done almost be-

MONTREAL, ~ OPP - After four
years Of labor-baiting the British EN-
pire Steel Corp. announces that its
important subsidiary, the Dominion
Iron & Steel Co., must default interest
on its bonds and will probably have
to be reorganized. Financial papers
think preferred shareholders have a
good chance to lose their equity. Do
minion common shares, which regu-
larly paid dividends before passing
under Besco's control, were mostly
converted into preferred at the ANAL
gamation. Besco's common shares of
par value of 500 now have a SOU
venir value only.
Besco's announcement that it may
close down the Sydney steel works
and allow the bondholders to take
over the property may induce the gov
eminent to grant higher tariffs on
iron and steel. f'f

OUCH thoughts fash thru their minds
~ as they go onward. 1t seems as
tho some hungry beast were chasing
them ready to grab them at any min

thoughts. Can they fee? No! The
same thoughts follow them steadfastly
like shadow. But still the wanderer
struggles onward with a restless
mind.
Some have worked at camps; they
have already worked month, two or
three. Then they quit They go out
to travel-to the city. A mass of
moneyless men have just returned
bringing with them the odor of liquor.
They secure a job only after an open
ing is made for them by the men who
left. Otherwise they would not be
able to get the job. They, in turn,
again, after having labored for some
time, leave as have done the others
and start to roam, leaving the place
open to someone else. And so this
ceaseless grind continues.
And what is the final result of it all?
Death
HERE death seems to be busy more

has 5learned to pick its prey more
readily. 1t is easy for it to win over
the man with no resisting power,
whose body has been poisoned by
drinking anything containing alcohol.
A man who with only thin clothing,
one who has slept drunkenly in the
snowdrifts or been exposed to a
drenching rain and has thus contract
ed bad cold which has led to an
incurable sickness. They fall by the
wayside and the rest look calmly at
their struggle with death.
Others pass away in the dirty hunks
of the camps with all kinds of vermin
ready to take last bite to get their
stomachs full before their food is
taken away from them.

Even bourgeois newspapers expressed
their indignation on account of this
bloody deed of the Polish police. The
victims of "bloody Wednesday" are
Ukrannian workers. Galicia is occu-
pied territory, in which the Polish
"Schlachta" are ruling by means of
provocation and bullets. When provo
cation does not suffice, bullets are en-
ployed.
The rage of the working class is
enormous. The Polish bourgeoisie are
attempting to defend the bloody deed
Of the police, and are trying to make
out that the police we're actually at
tackled. That is a base lie. This is
best proved by the fact that none of
the police were wounded.
The socialist(7) Party.
The bloody coalition government
wants to cast the blame for bloody
Wednesday" on to the "Commissar"
Lazarevitch, the bloodhound of the
bourgeoisie, who gave the order to
fire. They will not succeed in this.
Responsibility for bloody Wednes-
day" not only lies with Lazarevitch
but in the first place with the coalition
government and the p. p. S. (social
democratic) ministers. The blood
bath in Stryj Is not a mere accident.
After Kalisz there came. Stryj. This
is cruel system of the coalition gov
eminent and of the leaders of the
Polish Socialist Party "a party of the
second internationally which consists
in the physical determination of the
working class OF Poland. The strug-
gle of the unemployment for mainte-
nance is to be sifed by means of bull
let's. The workers are to be subjected
to a persistent terror in order that
they shall loose all desire to struggle
and abandon their achievements to
the bourgeoisie.
The leaders OF the Polish Socialist
Party have sunk step lower. From
btrayers of the working class Of Po-
land. from confederates OF the bour-
geoisie, they have now become the
murderers OF the working class. The
blood OF the workers OF Stryj clings to
them just as II does to the bourgeoisie.
Retribution for the blood OF the work
ing class will be demanded from both
of them. The time is approaching.

No! Is the labor of those who work

torily, and to be in the best working
condition, requires each part in its
place. Even if one part stops work, is

chine stops working and becomes
worthless.
VOU people in industry, men with

more, you who dress up in better
clothes when you go out in the even
ing to a movie, have you ever stopped
to think that your efforts. would be
useless unless 1t were for the lumber
men who first supplied the market
with that raw material from which you
build your homes? Have you ever
thought that a book which you are
reading and by the aid of which you
are educating yourself, and the news
papers which bring the daily news to
you and tell of the struggles of other
workers turnout the world, that these
are possible only because the lumber
man has secured that raw material
from which the paper is made and
books and newspapers are printed.

the nation. The woods need workers
and their strength before they will
surrender their many valuable prod

even tho the nation were a Commu-

W his own worth, of how much use
he is in this commonwealth and what
an important cog he is in the machin-
cry of industry, ne also begins to de-
mand that his conditions be such that
they can be called bearable. 1t is
only then that this roamer of the for
ests and the slave of industry can un-
derstand- each other as people who are
creating the welfare and happiness of
the nation, And that all those great
national resources that have been this
far owned by few will now be taken

-ON this path we see them singly, in

with heads cast down, making their
way with tagging steps, A number of
them carry on their back a sack in
which they keep belongings, which
consist of underwear, couple of dirty
and wrinkled dress" shirts, a couple
of photographs of the nearest rela-

dragging footsteps, aching bodies tor
tured with rheumatism, downcast,
without life, in whose looks are lodged
the brand of early old age at the time
when the body and soul Should still be

Here we see gray-haired, shaky old
men going onward painfully with their
WORKOUT bodies. Old men in whose
faces are pictured the tale of existing
cruel conditions, tears which have not
been shed, sorrows which have not
been brought out to the world.
These are old men with whom fate
has played. Their little strength is
not needed by the capitalists any
longer. They must drag themselves
from one camp to the other, so from
pity they are taken to work for their

On the 31st of March last there took
place bloody event in Stryj polish
GaIicia). The Polish police fired upon
a peaceful demonstration of unem-
pIoyed wood workers, mostly Ukra-
mans, killing ten workers, among
them being a working woman, and
wOunding about twenty others.
Stryj lies not far from the Carpatho-
Czecho-Slovakian frontier The neigh
borhood is rich in forests and is a CEN
ter of the Galician lumber industry,
with numerous sawmills which en-
ploy a considerable number of Ukra-
MAN workers.
The disastrous situation of Poland's
economic life, which has resulted in
enormous unemployment thruout the
country, also extends to Stryj. The
largest sawmills are standing idle and
some thousands of workers, mostly
Ukranians, wander about for weeks
without employment. OF these only
$50 are on the register of the unem-
ployed and receive unemployment ben
eft. The remainder are not registered
and receive no benefit. The position
of the latter is really terrible. They
are actually starving, their children
are dying of tuberculosis and they
themselves are driven by misery and
privation to suicide.
Dissolve Trade Unions.
The council of the free trade unions
in Stryj, which has done everything
possible in order to help the starving
unemployed and established an unem-
ployed committee, which on several
occasions approached authorities in
order to obtain support for the unem-
ployed, has been dissolved by the dis.
trict authorities.
The Polish authorities, headed by
the coalition government, including
the p. P. S. polish Social Democ-
racy), is in this way depriving the
unemployed, as we'll as the entire
working class in stryj, OF their organi-
cation. They intend by this means to
destroy the forces of the unemployed,
as well as Of the employed workers,
and to render them incapable Of strug.

"LUMBERJACKS
The Life Of the Lumber Worker Migratory and Social the Trail
Their Sorry PIeOures-TOH Taken BY Disease and Accident

WHY do we not hear anything about
w them?
Why is not their life brought to
fight by having narratives and books
written about it?
Why not? Preferably a romance is
written, for example, about Mary and
Matt, in which Matt makes promises
to Mary which he never fulfills, and
again Mary promises Matt happiness
such happiness which is seldom
spoiled by age. The young people
read it and are thrilled by it; the
older people, likewise, read it and
feel thrill go thru them. The feel
ing of love and romance infatuates
just like alcohol affects, and it is
true-as much truth as can be found
in it-only in books.
But by writing about the life of the
woodsmen, the "lumberjacks, real life
in actually can be pictured. But why
does not anybody write about them
Only then when someone of the crew
has been lodged in the city prison
has committed murder, robbery or
some other such crime, only then do
the newspapers mention these people.
But why not at other times?
A person who is not one of them
cannot do it, tho he might want to.
The lumberman himself is unfamiliar
with writing. He cannot voice his suf-
ferings enough to be able to describe
them on paper; he cannot understand
them. And as a whole they do not
want to let the world know about their
life at ALL They are simple, unde-
handing children Of labor and they
are many. They live almost outside
of the rest of the world, abandoned
and forgotten.
The redwoods and fir of the west,
the large cleared. tracts of land in Min
nesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, the
valleys of Canada, and the lands of
the east, are part of these men. In
these places they have left an auto
graph, the brand of work. Here they
have met the virgin forest and have
destroyed the pride of the woods. And
all this for whose good? For their
own?
Mo- Here they have increased the
golden wand of the capitalists. That
portion which they received for their
work alone has not satisfied them, nor
benefited them. This has gone to the
moonshiners, the keepers of the houses
of prostitution, and their slaves who
have fallen by the wayside-the street
girls, who suffer from lack of money
and as a result fall into this life of
vice. In the realms Of nature they
have lived and resided. They have
trudged the wooded path, and do so
yet. Their solitude is broken occa-
sionally by the call of the hungry wolf
and other dangers of the wilds. But
they are not scared by such tribes, for
they are already used to them.
They go onward along the same end
less path.
