ing some of it's strikebreakers in the
company houses right alongside the
union families. 1t is not pleasant for
the women living alongside these
scabs with their noise and filth and
drunkenness and the prostitutes,
thoughtfully provided by the COM
pany, but they stick. They know
that for every family that moves out
of a company house a dozen or so
scabs will be brought in. In one three
room house in Harmarville the COM
pany has Is scabs and three prosti-
tutes, and sometimes the men say, the
number runs as high as 25 to a house.
Stage a Parade
The women manage to let the
scabs know what they think about
the arrangement, though. When
scabs were first moved into one
street of houses, not long ago, the
women living on that street decided
to stage fitting reception. Two of
them dressed up as scabs in miners
clothes-with cap and dinner pail
complete; and one as a deputy sheriff
with big club and a pillow tied on
in front for big belly like a particu-
larry detested deputy, to follow along
and chase the scabs to work. The
three of them went and hid down bv
the entrance to the mine, and at four
o'clock when the scabs came out with
Yellow Dog guarding them from
work they paraded along after them.
All along the streets the other
women lined up ready with pieplates
and saucepan lids to give the scabs
good tinpanning, as this method of
serenading scabs is called. Then one
of the woman left her house and
crossed the street, and the Yellow
Dog escort knocked her down. She
had just given birth to child, and
the blow made her sick for a long
time, the women say. But that has
not kept the other women from going
on with their part in the fight against
making their town scab town.

from the Colorado strike area.
every strike leader has been ar
rested, is being held without bail or
right to communicate with friends.
while the police, sheriff, and courts
openly admit that the "crimes"
charged are merely the incidents of
leaving work and persuading fellow
workers to strike.

The Denver branch of the Inter
national Labor Defense had sent a
lawyer down into the fields, at the
request of the strike leaders, who is
doing all he can to protect such legal
rights of the workers as can be saved

SHALL TT BE AGAIN?.
YESTERDAY, SACCO AND VANZETTI
TODAY, GRECO AND CARRILLO

We must not rest confident in the
knowledge that even many capitalist
papers in New York have admitted
Greco and Carrillo's innocence of the
charges made against them. The in
nocence of Sacco and Vanzetti was
also admitted; it was well-known,
but it did not prevent their assassins
from burning them to death. During
the Sacco-Vanzetti campaign it was
the proud boast of the New York
press and officialdom that such a
travesty of justice eould not occur
in this state. But. this. is, "a hollow
joke in the face Of the preparations
that are being made to strap, these,
two Italian workers in the. death
chair. The capitalists of New York
are not one whit different from their
brothers in Massachusetts, and we
can expect the same measure of
Justice" from either of them.
The important lesson of the Sacco-
Vanzetti case must be applied to the
case of Greco and Garlic: that the
hopes for successful struggle and
for their liberation lie chiefly with
the organized power of the working
class. To rely solely upon the Gus
tice" of the capitalist courts is to
help dig grave for the two workers.
A campaign of enlightenment and
organization must be begun immedi-
ately and carried on without cessa-
ton until they are freed. The Inter-
national Labor Defense, which has
already come to their defense. will
start a national campaign for Greco
and GARLIC with special report on
the case at the third annual confer
ence of the organization which opens
in New York City at Irving Plaza
Hall, 18th st. and Irving Pl., Novem-
Der IL. We intend to organize a
counter-movement to the plans made
by Mussolini and his Italian and
American agents to kill Greco and
GARLIC.

Textile Mills to
Stop Production
Of Surplus Goods

Wooden and worsted goods mills are
to discontinue the manufacture of
surplus stock goods and confine their
operations to orders obtained from
firms, according to an official state
ment issued by the Botany Mills, with
industries at Passaic, New Jersey,
and in various parts of the world
This was made in connection with the
opening of orders for spring, 1928,
fabrics, and indicates drastic cur
failing of production, thereby in
creasing the unemployment situation
in the textile industry.
Other Mills Will Follow.
"The policy of carrying quantity
stocks of various fabrics will not be
continued by this company" the
statement emphasized, "but merchan-
disc to great extent will be manu-
featured for orders only. The trade
in general seems to realize that in
order to cover their wants they must
place their stock orders in advance.
ana IL is assumed that other mills will
work along the same lines for 1925"
Indicates Depression.
This action of the Botany Mills is
indicative of general slackening of
demand in the clothing industry, as
orders have fallen off to a marked de-
gree during the past season. The gar
ment manufacturers complain that
they are unable to place the big or
ders that usually accompany spring
buying and have adopted policy of
"hand to mouth" buying, afraid to be
caught in general slump with stocks
on their hands that cannot be mar
keted. The retailers are also carry
ing minimum of stocks for the same
reason.

Kellogg ScowIs at the
League Of Nations for
Attending Havana Meet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - If
the League of Nations carries out
it's intention of sending an cob
server" to attend the Sixth Pan
American Conference at Havana
next January it is probable that he
will receive q very chilly welcome.
That much was made plain at
the state department today. The
department denied that this gov
eminent has invited the league to
send an observer. The Cuban en-
bassy denied that the Cuban gov
eminent had done so. And on be-
half of this government it was said
at the department that there is
no need for a league official at
Havana.
The league announced yesterday
in Geneva that it was sending an
official observer. The U. S. state
department regards this as poach-
ing in the back yard of the Amer
lean empire.

Anthracite Meeting
Hears Lewis Agree
to Bind the Miners

MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, Nov. TO-
Whiting under the threat that VIM.
Hale Thompson, Mayor Of Chicago,
would be there to speak, the confer
ence of anthracite coal operators, coal
dealers and officials of the United
Mine Workers of America, hastily
agreed, late yesterday, to try and
rush their meetings to an end and
hold no session tomorrow.
The feature speech of today was
one by John L. Lewis, international
president of the U. M. w. of A, in
which he declared that the best way
to carry out Secretary of Commerce
Hoover's suggestions made yesterday
as to peace in the industry was to
bind the miners with another five
year contract.
Tied For Years.
The present contract in the anthra-
cite between employers and miners
has still three and a half years to
run, and is bitterly resented by the
progressive miners because it is en-
forced on the men by their own re-
dictionary officials, violated by the
operators with impunity, and forces
them to become involuntary strike
breakers in the great bituminous
lockout which has lasted all summer.
President Lewis also found him
self in accord with spokesman of the
operators and of the government in
the matter of cutting the costs of
mining by the use of more labor dis
placing machinery, any form of
speeding the work, and extensive sales
campaigns.
Practical results of the conference
will be embodied in the formation of
q permanent committee, which will be
given some measure, how much is
not certain, of compulsory arbitral
powers. The committee will claim to
represent both employers and en-
'ployes in dealings with each other
or "the public"
