tact, there are stories told around
some of the mines that show that
sometimes the miners wives are
firmer and more militant than their
men.
Here are two incidents as the
miners told them. The first one hap
pened up at Indianala, a mine be-
long to the Inland Colliery Com
pany in Allegheny County.
Zone day miner came home to
his wife, and told her to fix his dim
ner bucket. I'm going to work, he
said. Where are you going to
work p ask his wife. She is girl
only about sixteen. In the mine,' he
says. In the mine? Alright, I'm go
ing to fix your bucket
'She went outside and got two
by-four, and came back and hit him
over the head a couple of times-and
that was all.
after that" said the man who
was telling the story, a miner from
Harmarsville, the next town to In
dianola, ''he was on the picket line
every day. And now he even comes
over here to Harmarsville, when he
has the time, asking if we don't need
help on the picket line here"
Children Shame Father.
And here is another story from the
same section. A miner went to the
mine office to go back to work, and
came home with his leaders, check.
Later, he changed his clothes and the
children found the check in his pants
pocket. They went to their pap" as
they say round here, and started in
calling him "Scab, Scab," and then
they went in and told their mother,
Then their mother said to him. "If
you go scabbing I'll take the children
and go away and let you scab."
Then he threw out his leaders
check, and he didn't go scabbing.

UNREST IN SPAIN;
u. S. AMBASSADOR
AIDED De RIVERA
Premier a Blackmailer;
Workers Dissatisfied

MARSEILLES, France, Oct. ID. -
Spain is reported in dispatches SNUG
gled past the censorship Of Premier
de Rivera to be in state bordering
on revolution. A series of scandals
of magnitude, which involve the king,
the premier, and Ambassador Moore
from the United States of America,
is becoming generally known, and
gives an excuse to the center and
liberal elements to unite temporarily
with the thoroly dissatisfied workers
and peasantry,
U. S. Ambassador Guilty.
Ambassador Moore is directly con-
nected with the ascension of Primo
de Rivera, according to these stories.
The battle of Monte Arruit in Nor
Deco, which was directly ordered by
the kings pet generals, caused the
loss of 10000 Spanish peasant boys
and reused such a storm of indigna-
ton in Spain that King Alfonso and
American Ambassador Moore, with
other clark forces" conspired to
overthrow the constitutional govern
ment and establish military rule in
stead.
Moore Right On Hand.
Rivera carried out his coup d'etat
and on the train which carried the
king from his position of safety in
France back to Spain to profit by the
new state of affairs was Moore. The
American Ambassador likewise forced
the recognition of the new govern
ment by the powers of Europe thru
his immediate announcement that the
United States would recognize it.
There followed quarrels between
the king and Rivera, according to thu
present dispatches. Then on tn,
question of calling an assembly, tn,
king opposed and Rivera insisted. Il
the end, Rivera had his way, and tn,
story is that he threatened the king

Farm Labor Wage Falls
AS Jobless From Cities
Flock to Open Country

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ia. - Farm
wages are one point below the level of
year ago, and are rs PEI cent high
err than the pre-war rate, says the U.
S. Department of Agriculture report
on this subject for Oct. 1. The pre-
war wage, however, would buy more
than the present wage.
There is a surplus of farm workers
seeking jobs. This, it is explained, is
due to the growing unemployment in
industrial centers.

Plans Expedited to
Save 100 PaSSaiC
Strikers from Jail

PASSAIC, N. J., Oct. IA. - The
greatest attention to the defense of
eleven Passaic strikers, facing charges
of a serious nature in the courts of
this state, is requested eff organized
labor by the district council of the
United Textile Workers, in a state
ment made today.
"This determined struggle of the
textile workers of Passaic has pro-
duced some results" says the council
and continues: 1.-TWO large corpora
tons were forced to admit that the
right Of the textile workers to organ
ize in Passaic is legitimate. Some Of
the disputes that now arise in the
mills are mutually settled by COM
mittee of workers with the represen-
tatives of the mill-owners. This means
that the recent strike won for the
workers the right of collective bar
gaining. However little gain has been
made, it was achieved only through
a tremendous struggle and with the
help of the labor movement of the
United States and Canada.
"Tn their zeal for revenge on the
workers, the mili-owners framed up
eleven of the bravest men on charges
of bombing, and sent them to the New
Jersey State Prison for terms rang
ing from three to twenty years.
"Among the approximately one
hundred cases pending, there is the
case against Albert Weisbord, who is
under $4,000 bail. There is also The
Jack Rubinstein case, which is to be
heard shortly in the New Jersey state
supreme court.

CRAFT ON L-EvEE
Flood Victims Misery
Considered Argument

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IA
Two different bodies are about to re-
port to the u. S. government on the
Mississippi Valley flood area.
The engineers department of the
U. S. army is known to have pre-
pared statement of the means to be
adopted for future flood control. They
advocate merely bigger and better
levees, in spite of the almost unan-
imous opinion of foreign experts that
levees alone are useless during very
high water.
Money In Levees.
The levee system Is required in the
United States partly because the pres
tige of the engineers themselves is
staked upon it, and even more be-
cause there is big money in building
embankments, The U. S. army is rec
ommending that about S500,000,000 be
used within the next year or 50, and
this goes to grading contractors. An
other point affecting the decision is
that the rival plan, of reservoirs at
the head waters, leads inevitably tc
government owned power plants, g
thing the present administration de-
sires to avoid.
The IT. s. chamber of commerce
committee which has toured the flood
ed area reports merely something OF
the enormity Of the damage and uses
this as a recommendation fol- cen
