to their belief in free speech. Because
of the difference in method between
the parties (referring particularly to
the Communists recognition that cap
italism finally will be overthrow only
by an armed struggled, they preferred
to conduct their campaign quite indie
pendently. Nevertheless, many indi-
vidual members of the l. L. p strong
ly criticized this policy Of isolation
and number of locals agreed to hold
joint demonstrations with the Com
munists
!. /. p. Press Urges New Policy.
The influence of the united front
agitation of the Communists is more
evident in the changed attitude of the
two official Independent labor party
papers, The New Leader and the For
ward. The New Leader Of Dec. 4,
urges that the International Fedora
ton of Trade Unions (Amsterdam,
yellow internationally note) take
the common sense procedure and in
vite the Russian unions to an uncondi
tional conference on unity" 1t points
out that IF this step were to succeed
one might even hope for political
unity as the next inevitable step"
This. change of front found express
sion also in the Forward. In the issue
Of Dec IL and 13, Emrys Hughes, act
ing editor, stated that the refusal of
the Amsterdam International to agree
to the British proposals for a united
front with the Red Trade Union In
ternational lacks all sense Of reason.
If the Third International Tor the
Red internationally is prepared to
frankly discuss outstanding differ
ences at a conference Of this kind. it
is difficult to see what is likely to be
gained by frankly refusing to meet
them"
To Put Unity Up to The YeIows
The work of agitation for world
trade union unity is thus beginning to
show positive results. Moreover, the
National Administrative Council of
the Independent labor party has coun-
tered the demands by it's decision to
ask the Second International at its
next session to propose a united front
with the Third international.

Cincinnati Business
Agent Fails Workers
81 a Worker correspondent

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 16-The
drivers for the Hubig Pie company of
this city demand that business agent
Jacob Hesselbrook, of the union. state
why he did not carry out his promise
to secure them union conditions.
When the factory first opened up all
the drivers joined the organization,
paying SIS for the first months dues
and as part of their initiation fee. He
promised them to unionize the place
but for two months did nothing more
about it. When he dropped around
for the third months dues the men
told him they would not pay another
cent unless his promise was carried
out, even II they would have to strike.
He refused to do anything with the
result that the drivers at this estab-
lishment have all dropped the union.
The union scale calls for $35 a week
plus commissions. The Hubig Pie
company drivers are getting only $25.
It is business agents such as this
which make It difficult to organize the
workers. We hope The DAILY
WORKER will give publicity to this
matter and thus help us in our strug-
gle to get organized.

vATICAN.PL PLANS
TO CONTROL THE
LEAGUE COUNCIL
Pope Wants to Guard
the Bones of the Saints

ROME, Feb. 16.-The entrance of
the vatican into the struggle for con-
troll of the council of the league of
nations has complicated an already
involved situation. The pope is urg-
ing all Roman catholic countries
which are members to back the de-
mand for the inclusion Of Spain
Poland, and Brazil to permanent seats
in the governing body of the organ
ization. Cardinal Gasparri, the papal
secretary of state has been trying to
line up the diplomats Of these coun-
tries so as to present solid catholic
bloc to support the proposal at the
March assembly, of the league when
Germanys application is to be acted
upon.
A number of influential British pa
pers are bitterly, opposing the admis-
sion of these three nations, as it is
also reported are some members of
the English cabinet tho Austen Cham
berlain is said to have given the
scheme his approval. Opponents claim
the scheme is designed to give the
French three votes to Offset that of
Germany, which, it is presumed, will
be generally behind British policy.
Catholics to Guard the Bones.
One explanation of the vatican's in
reference is that the pope wants to
have the guardianship of the holy
places in catholic hands. The league
mandate which gave Great Britain
jurisdiction over Palestine put these
places under the control of the con-
suls at Jerusalem of those nations
which are permanently represented in
the league council. If the vatican's
intrigue succeeds catholics will guard
the dust and bones of the monks and
other alleged holy men of centuries
ago, many of whose sole claim to be
remembered consists in their mere
dible ability to live in the midst of
filth, without bath for years at a
time.

was an ardent anti-Bolshevik, but it
wasn't his fault; he was brot up in
the public schools of America and
read the Hearst papers. He was a

those two girls and somehow to arrest
them for giving away papers didn't
seem right. His best friends at the

too. OF course he didn't read it, he
was off that "red" stuff, but he knew
one thing those boys were good kids.
Just then Big Sam walked by him,
reading The DAILY WORKER.
Ned felt queer inside. "Say SAINT"

the mills as the pure American"
Sans reply went like shot thru Ned.
It panied him to be called down for
sticking up for "his flag"
HOWEVER he pulled himself to-
AAgether. He tidied his bunk as was
his habit when he returned from
work at night because he didn't have

he was munching away on bread and
eating pork and beans, but he didn't

Federated Press staff correspondent)
NEW YORK, Feb 16 - Women

the most wretched conditions, reports
Powers Hapgood, member of the
United Mine Workers Of America, who

time | saw women working under
ground. The mines were terribly hot
so that the men at the face (of the
vein-Ed.) worked stark-naked except
for straw soles on their feet while the
women wore nothing except feet pro

Girl Slaves in Textile Mills.

first three months, and after that only

Japanese Labor Poorly Organized.
The Japanese labor movement "is
struggling along. The miners union
has about 10000 members out of
100000 mine workers, and the other
unions are not much better" SAYS
Hapgood After he was entertained
by Osaka trade union leaders, the
Japanese police kept a constant watch
on him. Hapgood found his police
companions good porte7s and rather
amusing.
Chinese Conditions Horrible.
In China industrial conditions are
terrible. Little naked boys Of six

mines, girls of seven or eight and
mothers with nursing babies working
twelve hour shifts seven days a week

cally no labor union. Life in the coun-
try districts is not so bad as in the
industrial centers.

Sec'y Progressive Miners Committee.
THE trial of the thirteen militant
l. miners from Zeigler, I'll. at the
court in Benton on the framed-up
charge Of conspiracy and attempt to
kill d. B. Cobb, vfce-president of Sub
district Nine of District Twelve is
now over and we can calmly view the
farce in all its hideous phases.
AT the opening of the trial, the Far
rington machine dearly showed their
part in the frameup. The Harrington
machine was represented at the trial
by board member Darby Darlington.
Many miners at the trial stated that
the board member was wanted in
many mining camps to adjust griev-
ances Of the miners for which they
were paying him, but instead of car
ing for the miners contractual rights,
he was busy at the time aiding in the
prosecution Of the victims of the
frame-up.
A Harrington Jury.
7 ICE WALKER, another henchman
~ of the Harrington gang was in
close conference with the prosecu-
ton Of the victims at the trial. These
two, with Ezzie Hindman, sub-district
treasurer, and the notorious traitor to
the miners, Lon Fox, aided the states
attorney to choose the jury. No man
was accepted by the states attorney
on the jury until the Harrington gang
was conferred with, and satisfied. The
Jury was composed Of twelve farmers,
and the examination Of each juror
showed at the beginning of the trial,
that an attempt was to be made to

Lotteries Haze Firm
Hold on All Italians

The national sport Of Italy is the
lottery. 1t Is the popular sport of all
classes. There are many kinds of lot
teries but the one which seems to hold
the popular favor is the weekly one.
The charm of this weekly lottery lies
in the fact that the buyer of ticket
can play a bunch. Since all Italians
are superstitious. 1t is only natural
that each has particular "hunch" on
the winning numbers in the lottery.
The eight largest cities in the king
dom are listed and after each city five
numbers appear Should anyone have
an idea that Naples would draw 4, 10,
81, "a. so, 1t is simplicity itself to back
your bunch. You simply walk into an
agency and write your own ticket. The
numbers do not have to be arranged
in the same sequence as drawn. For
example, In the case above cited If
the purchaser had selected the num-
bers In inverse order, or in any other
order he would still win the maximum
purse.-Detroit News.

LamOine WOOdmen Entertain.
The Modern Woodmen of Lamo1ne
gave a social and banquet at their
hall, Friday night, Jan. l, to the
wives and friends of members. 1t
was a pleasant gathering.
The first of the evening was de-
voted to cards, physical tests, and
guessing and memory contests. Al
the banquet, Clarence B. Young in
troduced the POSTMASTER of the eve
ming, George E. Mcclellan, who out
lined the good the Woodmen are &C
complishing in their sanitarium in
Colorado. The POSTMASTER then
called upon L. L. Brown for a few
remarks relative to Farm Bureau
activities.
The third speaker was our State
booster, Sherman Douglas, who out
lined i'm a pleasing manner the pros
poets State leaders have relative to
keeping the highways open to win
ter automobile travel. The last sub
ject of the evening was an open dis
cussion of how and where the grade
of Haynes hill, on the Ellsworth
Bangor road, could be eliminated.
This was particularly interesting be-
cause of the fact that it was brought
out that it was possible to go
around the hill at not great ex-
pense.
This meeting proved that even
real live fraternal insurance or
ganization can. be a factor of social
and moral benefit.

Can't All Be Vegetarian

There Is one very good reason why
we cannot all be vegetarians, even If
we would In the first place there are
not enough vegetables in the world to
feed everybody. and in the second
place there is not enough land on
which to grow vegetables. Meat is con-
centrated vegetable food. Again. we
must have leather. wool. feathers.
horn, ivory. fur. kid, hides, hair, ETC.,
and to get these usually means the
death Of the animals. So, we put our
coverings outside and their flesh in
side. Vegetarianism Is good enough
for poets. artists and preachers, but
the strenuous. virile. fighting. agrees
sive man requires meat.-Beauty.
