A BLOW TO THE PARASITES

The settlement of the hard coal strike a com
plete victory for the operators AND THE PUBLIC! II

A CRUSHING DEFEAT FOR THE PARASITES
LEWIS AND HIS GANG OF BLOODSUCKERS!
According to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, 6
PARASITE is "a plant animal living in, on, with
other living organism at whose expense it obtains
its food shelter, some other advantage

teri By periodically calling strikes which indi-
recty hghwaymen's holdups, they have ingratiated
themselves the miners that they have been living
the fat of the land.
But they lost this strike and it ought to be the
signal for the miners to kick them out lock, stock and
baggage, and force them to work for a living.
Lewis and his gang of bloodsuckers have kept
$4,000 miners out of work for five months at a
$189,75O,OOO. To spell it out-oNE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY-NINE MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARSl
At the time, Lewis and his cohort of parasites
have made you and millions of others in the United
States suffer the loss of hard coal and the consequent
hardships of burning soft coal at exhorbtant prces
And now at the end the miners go back to work at
THE SAME PAY-oN A FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT
WITHOUT THE "CHECK-OFF"!
THE SIGNIFICANT THING ABOUT IT IS THAT
LEWIS AND HIS BLOODSUCKERS HAVE JUSTLY
AND MISERABLY FAILED IN THEIR ATTEMPT
TO HOLD UP THE OPERATORS AND THE COAL
USING PUBLIC.
Lewis and his parasites refused to arbtrate; they
demanded 10 per cent increase; they refused to enter

the could be repeated again in two years. but
they failed miseraby and dismally.
True the operators suffered financial loss which
greater than that of the miners but they

CIPLE!
And you who hard coal should thank the oper
ators for holding out against another increase in the
price of coal If the dealers fair there is
why the public can't enjoy reasonable prices during the
next five years.

NO POETRY ABOUT THIS!

The other day. while pulled and snorted around
shoveng snow Nelson Rttenhouse called from
the street where he engaged in the profanity
provoking business, and said, "Don't write any poetry
about THISl"
And / assured him that he needn't worry!
Did you hear of the little boy who couldn't get
enough pan cakes?
His mother finally decided she would fill him up
for SO she made up big batch of batter seated
him the table, and began to shove the pan cakes at
him in steady stream
Finally he began to slow up; his swallowing ap-
paratus seemed to be aboring but he hated to admit
that he couldn't eat any So he kept it up
fully, although at slower speed. When the stack
the plate supplied by his mother continued to grow
instead of diminish she asked him, Don't you want
any more?"
And in guping voice, with his hand his
mouth, he managed to answer. "Im afraid don't want
these I've got Mother!'
When l little shaver in Georgia, and used
to goriousy beautiful pictures | would visit
fully yearn to and experience such SHOWS!
But now, thank you, don't want what I've got!

AND WHAT DOES 1T ALL AMOUNT TO,

The above fapdoode reminds of the small boy
who said, 1--WE got dollar, all 'cepting So cents"
The writer of the above brags that the drys have
the prohibition amendment and the volstead act, BUT
WHAT GOOD DOES 1T DO THEM?
He claims they have Congress that can be de-
pended on BUT INVESTIGATIONS HAVE SHOWN
THAT DRY VOTING CONGRESSMAN HAVE BEEN
THE MOST PRoMIsCUoUs VIoLAToRs OF THE
PROHIBITION LAW!
He brags about Andrews heading the dry enforce
ment unit, BUT ANDREWS HIMSELF HAS SAID
THAT DRY VIOLATIONS ARE RAMPANT IN THE
COUNTRY!
He claims judges have growing of respon-
sbility but EVERY DAY YOU SEE BLoATED
BOOTLEGGERS LET OFF WITH FINES WHICH
THEY MAKE UP IN A FEW WEEKS IN THEIR
ILLICIT TRADE-THE WHILE THEY LAUGH UP
THEIR SLEEVES AT THE DRYS!
He "gasses" about proof that alcohol is injurious
BUT ONLY FEW MONTHS AGO THE DOCTORS
OF THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
ADOPTED A STRENUOUS RESOLUTION DENoUNC-
ING PROHIBITION!
He brags of the benefits of prohibition and claims
that the Protestant church is Fundamentally with
them" BUT THE CHURCH TEMPERANCE SOCIETY
OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH ONLY
LAST WEEK REPUDIATED PROHIBITION AND
CAME OUT FOR LIGHT WINES AND BEERS!
He gloats over the fact that the drys control
papers all the country and that strong organza
lions of men, women and young people, are in cohoots
with the drys. BUT THE DETROIT FREE PRESS which
has for years been dry paper, recently REPUDlATED
PROHIBITION AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER NEWS
PAPERS HAVE FOLLOWED SUIT.
And if the drys "strong organizations" are so &C
tive. WHY is PROHIBITION VIOLATION INCREAS-
ING EVERY DAY.
But the last point of the above writer is the siest

I was but callow STRIPPING
When we fought the nations foe,
But l saw the banners ripping,
And / heard the bugles blow;
/ had read lot of Kipling,
And of course | had to go.
Though my body was not mangled
In the High Explosive storm,
Though my feet were not entangled
Where the wire defenses swarm,

BY the G. = I. uniform.
When the sunlight, blazing whitley.
Fried the transports tarry decks,
When the tropic heat would nightly
Turn us all to nervous wrecks.
Still we kept our collars tightly
Buttoned up around our necks.
Crawling through the heat internal
On our bellies in the dirt,
Digging trenches in nocturnal
Hours, our necks were tightly
girt
Just because the old-line colonel
Did not like to wear shirt.
And when homeward we were going
We unanimously swore
If we heard the bugles BLOWING
And were called to arms once
more
We would never stand ingr0wins
Hairs throughout another war.
Now roll collars are predicted,
Though the Army Staff recoils;
Has some patriot depicted
All our troubles, all our tolls?
No, some Generals afflicted
With nasty case of boils.

DON'T BE A MISER

The Treasury Department estim-
ates that there are 5000 misers in
America, who keep their hoardings
merely to gloat over them. The es-
innate is that 100000 in cash is
hidden away in mattresses, holes in
the wall, in socks, in various clever
or foolish places, instead of being
deposited in safe banks. Money hid
den away and not used is essentially
dead. Much of it is destroyed in fires,
by rats, by the death and forgetful-
ness of the hiders. It's an utterly
foolish thing to do-to slave away
to earn money, putting ones life
blood into it, and then lay it away
to mould or to be stolen or lost.
The only money worth having is
the money at work.

and all its pods have split edge. The
